Reincarnation Monarch

"... So, who is that?

Elle whispered to Gaius beside him as he peered into the staff room, hiding in a bush about the height of an adult's waist.

"It's Dr. Bolognese. Abel's class. I used to act suspiciously."

Gaius and the others went back to school from Dr. Jessica's house, and when he confirmed that Dr. Bolonez was still at school, he hid in the bushes and watched.

"Hmm. What is suspicious behavior?

"Yeah. You know, on the roof, I was getting rid of the dirt."

"... what's so suspicious about that?

"I asked the other teachers. The cleaner on the roof is another teacher, and Dr. Bolonez has nothing to do with it. He does. Yet only one spot of dirt on the roof was carefully removed."

"One place?

"The wall next to the rooftop entrance and exit"

"... why are you suspicious when you're cleaning there?

"Dr. Bolognese herself said she couldn't help but worry about finding dirt because she likes extreme beauty, but when I asked the other teachers, they said she likes Dr. Bolognese beautifully. That's the first story I've heard. Suspicious, isn't it?"

"Hmm. So you lied to me that you like to be beautiful... but on the roof... the wall next to the entrance and exit?... Why don't you just clean up there? Don't you mind?

"Phew. ♪ Elle's got no choice - ♪"

Gaius was in a very good mood, he said to his nostrils.

Elle turned her upper lip up and created a grumpy face.

"... why don't I tell you inside Mr. Wrath..."

"Ha. All right, all right. You know, I think the dirt on the roof is probably blood."

"Blood stains?... What do you mean?

"Yeah. I'll explain it in order. First, the night before the body was found, Mr. Degus was killed in an equipment storage facility. I do not see why Mr. Degus went to the equipment storage area or anything at a late hour. But he's gone... killed."

Gaius looked at Elle's face to confirm there.

Elle nodded and urged him to move on.

"And he was beheaded with some kind of tool. And the killer carried the body on his back to carry it to the classroom, probably camouflaged with a black cloth or something on the body, and left the equipment storage area in the dark"

"Wait a minute. Would the body have been brought in the next day?

"Yeah. It's the next day they actually brought me in. But the truth is, I tried to bring it in the night before."

"... Hmm. Keep going..."

"The killer left the equipment storage area, entered the school building, ascended the stairs and reached the desired three-year classroom..."

"Who's that?

"He's a guard. I walked slowly across the hallway lighting lanterns to look around the school building."

"... I see, so?

"Yeah. I think the killer panicked a lot. But I think he probably came up with it right away. There's a staircase right next door. So he rushed right up to the stairs. But that's where he made a serious mistake."

Gaius smiled invincibly there.

"He went up the stairs."
