Reincarnation Monarch

"... well. Forever in the future... and it clearly says this is a coffin, right?

Glenn responded forcefully to Gaius's question.

"Yes. Definitely. It says this beautiful coffin."

"... is it beautiful to see that real thing?

Shester answered this question.

"Oh, that's beautiful. But you should check directly with your own eyes. [M] Glenn, I'm sorry, but can you get everybody back in the living room downstairs again?

"Ah, yes. I get it. So..."

Glenn left the room with a slight interpretation.

It was Gaius who missed Glenn's hindsight, but he had some strange look on his face.

"... why do we have to bother bringing everyone together?

"... um. The coffin is in the basement, but it's rigged. When a large number of people go indoors, the coffin comes up from the bottom."

Gaius then gave an even more obscure look.

"Large numbers? Does that mean you need a certain weight?

"Come on, I don't know that. But it's true the trick was activated when a lot of people came in."

"Hmm... but is something strange? This villa belongs to former Archbishop Fran, right? So, I don't know where he found it, but he hid the coffin of Illis in this basement. And he showed his whereabouts in the form of tattoos on his own children's backs. Not so far... my own children... even if I didn't love them, don't you wonder why I bothered to hide what I tried to hide until I collected them and tattooed them on their backs with some boring trick that would work with the human weight that went into the room at the end?

Then Shester raised her mouth invincibly and laughed niggly.

"You think so, too?

Then Gaius shrugged his shoulders and looked bored.

"Nah. You thought Mr. Shester was crazy, too, didn't you?

Shester nodded forcefully and said with a zero grin.

"Oh, you're right, I didn't think there was any way I could do a boring trick or anything like that where I just had to collect numbers at the end of the day"

"So, you actually know what kind of trick it is?

Shester nodded forcefully at this as well.

"Oh, probably. What about you? You know?"

Then Gaius bent his eyebrows to the letter to start thinking.

"Eh, when a lot of people actually came in, the coffin came up from the basement, right? I mean... there are people in there who react to the trick. In other words... the children who received the blood of the former Archbishop of Fran."

When Gaius said so, he smiled confidently.
