Sweet Reincarnation

"So?"

"... I searched through the mansion and couldn't find it"

Pais was listening to a report from his subordinate, Kronob. He is a newcomer, but he was accompanied in this case due to the fact that his parents were in Bombino territory and his parents were serving the Bombino family. There was also a land survey, and I am familiar with it inside the Bombino family mansion, so I was moving that it was appropriate for this investigation, but I did that to him, and I couldn't find the missing ring.

Something I originally kept important. It can't be so easily lost or anything, but the fact that the ring had disappeared is true.

It was originally unlikely that it would have been a mere loss due to negligence, but it is good to say that it has almost reached zero under the present circumstances.

"Then again..."

Pais was still thinking about it.

I don't care what you think of this, it's a burglary.

"Again?"

"No, it's nothing. Now, gather all of our people."

"All of them?

"Yes, everyone, including escorts and caregivers."

Pais was making one decision. It's about catching the killer with your own hands.

It was originally a theft in Viscount Bombino territory. You can throw a round at the Urantas if you want to leave the investigation to them, or it will be possible to bounce off if the blame is over there.

But it's also problematic to create a debt to someone who will be with us for a long time to come, and Payce's reading is that depositing investigative powers with the Viscount Bombino family would be to the detriment of the Mortairn family.

"Dear Pastry, we've gathered everyone in the other room."

The rooms to which the pastry is addressed are rooms. In size, it can be called a studio. The point is, it's like a hotel room. On the bed, there's one table. There is some storage space. It's not as big as that, and it's not the right size to bring people together, even if there's nothing wrong with spending time alone.

The reception room is better than that, which was also used during the party. Because they are made to spread the word so that a small number of people can be included, so they are just right for attracting people.

And Pais got Uranta permission to use this room and gathered all of the Mortairns.

"Fine. Then I'll go to your room."

When Pace entered the rented reception room, there were already about twenty people there.

Even as a Mortairn family, they will be this number because they were hunting for samurai to take care of Jose and manpower to escort him.

To my mother Anise, my sister Josephine, three maids with Josephine, two maids with Anise, and three working servants. There are ten women in total.

There are eight men. Douglad, head of foreign affairs as a squire; Joan, a young man; Kronob, a newcomer; and five villagers for escort. This solicited willingness, so I treated him as a mercenary for once.

A total of nineteen people put in the paice. This is the personnel put into Bombino territory by the Mortairn family as it stands. It is a middle ground and a force that seems to be capable of a little military action. If we think that the Saints were allowed to enter the territory only a few people, including the messengers, let us say a testament of confidence in the Mortairn family of the Bombino family.

"Pace, suddenly we gather everyone together, what's wrong?

Anise asks her son.

So many human beings have been brought together in one place. Let's just have a cup of tea, I'm sure it's not such an invitation.

From her point of view, the most important thing in the current situation is to keep an eye on Jose to avoid coarse phases and support him if necessary. The details are a situation left to everyone, starting with Pace, so I can't pin why I was collected right away.

"Mother, it's about the ring."

Pais tells me why he collected it.

Even if I tried Anise, I thought it was a problem to "lose” the ring, and I knew my men were looking hard for it as it stands.

If that's the case, I smile with my hands in front of my chest, wondering if it's good news.

"Oh, you found the ring?

If you look at it from Anise, Jose and Pais still seem like children. In fact, Pais and others are supposed to be pre-adult years. Even if I tried Jose, I know a personality who is better at cleaning up without messing inside, so I guess the loss of the ring also caused Mostly Jose to get mixed up somewhere, to an extent.

So point the hopeful observation at Pace wondering if that was properly found.

Pais denied the words of such a positive, energetic weather mother in a way.

"No, but I have something to tell you."

"Fine. Talk to me."

Anise urges Pais to follow. I felt signs of impatience from my son's condition.

I haven't had six children with Dada. My stomach is sitting still, so I listen to Pais without fear.

"First, then... the theft of the ring. The killer is in here!!

Pais suddenly declares: Bishi, surprised by the fingertips and posing, is the face gathered.

"Whatever!!

"Pais, is that true!?

"I wonder what that means."

Everyone made a scene with their mouths.

The faces gathered here are all that you can trust in your loyalty, even as a Mortairn family, and within you. If you're just saying that the loss of the ring was a burglary, I still find it incredible that there's a killer in the gathering.

"Let's follow the order and explain. First, think about whether this incident was planned or not."

"Planniness?

"That's right. I don't have a plan. In other words, if you steal with sudden thoughts, there are many unnatural points. For example, the fact that you only stole the ring. There were plenty of other golden-eyed things in the room. For example, a sister's necklace or spare jewelry. Even my mother's jewelry is a luxury item. These with gems will obviously stand out, and even if you look at them in the eyes of an amateur, you can tell they are expensive. Or cash. In the room, there was some cash, but this one was untouched. If I were to get my hands on it, I would grab the cash a little bit, or take the jewels that seem expensive, no matter what. Example rings are not as expensive, so even in the sense of stimulating monetary greed, they are unlikely to induce an event"

The ring given is not so pricey, even though it may be of somewhat higher historical value. It's not about jewelry in the first place, because it's a ring that I envisage using everyday. It's far from a ring that's obviously luxury conscious, with gems categorized. It is deduced that it must have been something used for wedding rings worn every day.

I wouldn't call it cheap, but I would only steal a relatively cheap ring in comparison. If it is an event, it is a strange story.

"It's not an accident, it could be a planned burglar or something."

"Then again, I don't know why I haven't got my hands on the other golden-eyed ones. He goes into stealing for monetary purposes, steals only the example rings, and after hidden maneuvers to avoid finding out that he stole them, he escapes with no hands on anything else. Impossible."

"Oh well..."

Pais may well say the same. Assuming that whatever the killer is, the purpose is financial, it's unnatural at a time when he's not paying attention to other jewelry.

"I mean, this is a planned crime that had the purpose of stealing that ring from the beginning,"

The theory of the killer for gold is denied. Then the thief stole it because it was "that ring."

It's a natural logical conclusion.

If you went into stealing after you knew there was a ring, something planned. This was also a naturally derived answer.

"So, who's the killer?

"Don't panic. You'll soon find that out."

Pais looks out at the face of the line. Each and every one, be polite. Occasionally, that gaze stops. People gathered wonder if there is any confusion.

"Next, if it's a planned offense, the question arises as to why it was a ring"

"What do you mean?

"The killer had decided in advance to steal the ring. In other words, I would have found some value in the ring"

"That's right."

"The value of that ring, as I said earlier, is not financial. That ring was given by the Bombino family as a testament to your engagement, Mother of Lord Uranta. Something in these elements should be the killer's purpose."

"I see."

Was it stolen because it was a sign of engagement, because it was Uranta's mother's ring, because it was the ring Jose received, or because it was a gift from Uranta?

Of that old ring, it's unclear where you saw the value and stole it, but if you know why, Pace says you'll be forced to kill him.

"If anyone in the Bombino family wanted a ring... it would have been stolen sooner or obtained by regular means. It's been in the Bombino family the whole time, so if I wanted to buy it, I could have bought it, or at least negotiated enough. I might have gotten it at no risk without suddenly stealing it."

I'll give you a few reasons why the ring was stolen, but I don't think it's really an object from the Bombino family, Pace says.

It was originally in the Bombino family. For example, if it was because it was a memory of Uranta's mother that she craved it, and so on, she would have stolen it sooner. There are many guests elsewhere, and you shouldn't have to steal them in anticipation of now that security will be tight.

Everyone nods at Pace's description.

"And if anyone at home really wanted that ring, if they did, for the same reason, they don't need to steal it now. This time an engagement show, not a marriage. It is well known to our people that Sister Jose is still in the Mortairn family for the time being. Then you can talk to them so that they can be obtained in peace upon their return to Mortairn territory. If there seems to be a situation, you should have considered it, and you can steal it or not. If you suddenly take the means of theft, you haven't considered a peaceful way to get it from the beginning."

Also, it makes sense that it simply wouldn't have to be the right time, even if the Mortairns wanted us to see some value in the ring.

For example, some of the servants serve the Bombino family. If they had any thoughts or memories of the Bombino Itchy and really wanted the ring, they would have more naturally disguised themselves as lost when they returned to Mortarn territory, or they might have been rewarded by peaceful means.

Overall, Pais guessed that the offender had a purpose for the uproar caused by “losing the ring” rather than wanting “the value of the ring" and stealing it.

It was Jose who sensed what he wanted to say, even if Pais didn't say it.

"I mean, did the killer steal the ring for himself? Is that what Pace's trying to say?

"The boulder is my sister. At a time when we are deliberately staying at the Bombino family, we are even trying to make a cover-up and stir up the investigation. The purpose is probably to separate the home from the Bombino family."

So that the killer is unknown, so that we can clearly see that it was stolen. It's like, "There was a thief."

It wasn't Pais who didn't think this place was unnatural.

And with a polite explanation, the squire finally figured out what it meant, too.

"Oh, well, you kept it so you didn't know who the killer was, and you were fueling suspicion."

"That's right. Well, that's where I thought. I'm trying to turn both houses against each other. Is this a foreign conspiracy? and"

Suspects are from the Holy Nation.

"That's right. But I threw away that idea."

Stealing a sign of friendship between the two families in order to reverse Bombino and Mortairn, if so, isn't it a foreign spy who is suspicious? My men thought so, but Pais denies that opinion.

"Why?

"Because of the great political disadvantages. If our house and the Bombino family got along, the Ratesh family would be most pleased with the status quo. If you are a Holy Nation, you should rather turn to the side that prevents theft. It can also be seen from the fact that I sent the messenger this time"

"... boulder paste."

Pais was nursing the purpose of the Holy Nation's messengers, beginning with Bitter. Then thinking about it, I can be sure that I won't imitate the two houses differently. Rather, it is the nobility of the country who is suspicious, but then there are effective and certain ways to breathe bad language, such as in social places, etc. Methods that might simply be handled with loss would be highly uncertain.

To sum it up, there can be no monetary purpose, both inside and outside Mortairn. There seems to be a purpose in the conspiracy, but if so, it doesn't seem like it's going to be in another house.

Then only the conclusion remains that the conspiracy purpose inside the Mortairn family,

"In other words, it is sadly the possibility that our people stole it that most passes as a possibility that remains until the end. That too, to make friends with the Bombino family."

"I think there are other possibilities, though?

"That's right. There was a possibility that the Ratesh family, or other operatives, might have been confused, or an invitee associate of the Bombino family. But now that's a zero chance."

"Why not?"

"What do you think I got them all together for?

Pace stares at the point.

At the end of his gaze, there was a person who was clearly pale. The villager who raised his hand from himself and bought an escort for this presentation and left. That's not one or two, either. All five of them are similarly pale.

I guess I finally noticed. I try to get away with it.

"Take hold of those five!!

By decree of Pais, three servants move. They are specialist military personnel. The move was quick.

But it's harder to capture the three of us and five of us by ourselves than the former. Simply, I don't have enough hands.

It was good until I seized four of them one at a time, but I let one get away with it.

"Eh, I'll be right after you"

Capture the four people you were holding back so they don't run away. It's from then on that we go after the killer. That's what Pace decided. We should definitely capture the four first, rather than let them both escape after the two rabbits. That's the decision.

After tying it up with rope, he sent it to Mortairn territory, and Pais brought his squire, including Shiites, instead.

"We will catch those who have escaped!!

The Mortairn family in motion.

The move quickly became known everywhere.
