The last day of the ash week, the second day of the stage.
Rehearsal, I'm tired!
Cecilia left her body in a chair in a room in the rescue home that she rented from a rakuya.
In view of her circumstances (men's clothing), the music store is a single room.There was still time before the show, so I didn't wear a costume.
"Lean, come here and change the dialog.Some people come to see you until rehearsal.I feel more tired today than on yesterday's stage.... "
Cecilia looked up at the ceiling and blurred.
Yesterday, the rumors of the stage spread steadily.There were many people near the entrance to the venue to see the beautiful prince in costume.Although the venue was surrounded by a fence, some of the fenced women crossed the fence and asked Cecilia for signatures, which contributed to her fatigue.
Cecilia looks at the clock. It was still almost an hour before the show.You'll also need time to wear costumes and make up, but you'll be able to take a break for a while.
That's what I thought, when I left my body at the desk I had set up.
"Cecil, may I have a moment?"
Along with knocking, a voice that I had heard somewhere came from behind the door.
Cecilia opens the door and turns a blind eye to the person there.
Eh? Grace!
"There's something I'd like to talk to you about, and Mr. Lean showed me around."
I rarely saw her there except in the research building.Black dress instead of the usual white.Hair with grey habits has ponytail.
"I heard you're on a break, may I have a moment?"
"Of course! Thanks for asking Grace!"
Cecilia speaks with joy.I was just about to go ask about Ain and Zwei.I thought... after the performance, it would be convenient if you went out.
Grace pulled up her thin lips and sat on the round chair in the room, saying, "That was just right."Cecilia also moved the chair and sat in front of her.
"So, what's the matter? I want to talk to you."
"No, I'd like to talk to you or just ask a few questions....."
"Questions?"
"Yes, Cecilia, did you meet Prince Janice during this devotional festival?"
"Heh? Prince Janice... Prince Janice?Are you going to be the boss of Las Vegas on routes like Oscar, Gil, Dante? "
"Yes, Prince Janice."
Cecilia blinked at an unexpected name.
Prince Janice is the third prince of a neighboring country with snowy gray hair and amethyst purple eyes.Despite his sweet look and gentle way of speaking, he is also an enemy character with a cruelty that does not regard people as human beings.He was the one who sent Dante to Oscar, but his intentions are unknown.It's the most mysterious character I've ever created.
"I haven't seen him, but what happened to Prince Janice?"
"I heard that Prince Janice might be coming to the Divine Festival...."
"Prince Janice is at the Divine Festival?"
Cecilia explores memories of the past.However, no matter how many drawers I open, I can't think of an event that happens because 'Prince Janice was coming to the Divine Festival'.
Grace sounds serious when he twists his neck to Cecilia.
"When I heard the story, I remembered that 'Prince Janice and the hero meet at the Divine Festival' was the back-end of the branch."
The Bad End is "Despite being chosen as the proxy for the Shinto Festival, it has not reached a favorable sensitivity to go to the normal route.In addition, it seems to occur only under the rare condition that it is very disliked by certain characters. '
When we get to that route, it seems that Prince Janice will manipulate a large number of people to attack Lean and eventually kill him on the day of the Shinto Festival.
"Incidentally, I know that Prince Janice is behind the game, but other characters don't know about it...."
"It's all Cecilia's fault and I'm going to be killed."
Grace nods to Cecilia's words, which she takes over.
Cecilia had a slender face on her words, but a question came to her mind and she leaned her head.
"But wait, 'manipulate a lot of people...' But Prince Janice has that power?He's a prince, but this is another country.... "
"Oh, speaking of which, you didn't even talk about it."
As if she had forgotten, she hit both hands.
"It was True Root that actually made it clear.As a matter of fact, he can possess a barrier. "
"Eh!?"
Grace calmly added to Cecilia, "Well, not everyone seems to be..."
"Come on, think of the Oscar route.Well, at the end of the day, for some reason, you're going to have to fight Prince Janice, who suddenly possessed the Obstacle.After seeing True Loot again, it turns out that Prince Janice is fighting with the Barrier in his possession. "
"Ah...."
"Others portray all the people who were talking to Prince Janice as possessed by the Barrier later....."
Speaking of which, Cecilia has such a depiction.Honestly, I didn't care at all about that at the time.When I was on the Oscar route, I was just like, "Ah, Prince Janice, I think I'm getting in the way."
"True Loot fights Prince Janice, who possesses the source of the 'barrier' sealed in the deepest part of the temple.If you win, you can seal him and get a world where the Barrier never appears again, but if you lose, you're doomed. "
"... I'm afraid of sagging..."
"If you lose to Las Boss, you will be destroyed.It's a normal story. "
She only says so indifferently.
"That's what we talked about.So, there's a bud end where Prince Janice takes possession of a "barrier" and attacks a line of proxy princes...Well, is it okay if there's no sign of it?In the first place, it's a very rare bad-end.... "
Grace exhaled as if relieved.Apparently this is the end of her story.
I've learned a lot of shocking facts, but I don't think I need them at this stage.
"So, what can Cecilia tell me?"
"Ah, that's it..."
When Grace prompted me to open my mouth.
"Kyaaaaaaaa!!"
The screams of an earless woman jumped into their ears.The two looked at each other at the same time.
"... it looks like something happened."
"Let's go!"
The two jumped out of the room.
The screams came from the room where the costumes and props were placed.It was the woman of the troupe who happened to come to get her costume.The reason was the costume of the goddess placed there.
"This is terrible."
"Who would do such a thing..."
The costume of the goddess in front of them was torn apart and torn apart.The red and yellow paint was sprayed on top of it and the color has changed.The colours were mixed together and there were some spots that were dyed orange.
Inside the room were Grace and Cecilia, Oscar and Gilbert.As promised yesterday, they've been helping us on stage since today, and they've been screaming like Cecilia and the others.
"Lean would be sad to see it."
"That's right, this is sympathetic...."
Oscar and Gilbert looked like they had bitten a bug.
Incidentally, the woman who first noticed the situation is now running for Lean.
Cecilia clouded her expression in front of a costume that was left in ruins.
"Maybe it's the harasser....."
"Well, that's a good possibility.Other costumes aren't hurt. "
"That's right...."
Seeking Cecil's autograph, it's a security position enough for the girls to break in.There's plenty of room for the killer.
Gilbert knelt down and checked the paint on the floor with his fingers.
"The paint is not dry, and the killer may not have gone far yet."
"But I don't think there's any evidence left?"
Oscar also has the hem of the dress on his knees.Last night, the part of the slit that Lean patched up at night was torn apart.
"Hmm?... Gilbert!"
"What's the matter?"
"Is this a footprint?"
Oscar points near the hem of the dress.There were orange tracks there.Apparently, the killer stepped on the paint when he ran away.At regular intervals, the footprints continued into the hallway.
"Didn't you notice it was similar to the color of the tree?"
"Anyway, if we follow this trail, we may be able to reach the killer."
"It's possible he's still hiding somewhere."
Oscar and Gilbert stood up at the same time.And he turned his face to Cecilia, who was dropping his shoulders.
"We will follow in footsteps."
"Ah, I'm coming too!"
"Cecil and Grace stay here.I need someone to explain things to Lean. "
Oscar gently stopped, and Cecilia nodded, "Okay."
Because I was depressed sometimes, and I felt that my feet would be tight even if I said it now.And even if the killer is found, it doesn't have to be stimulated.
Oscar and Gilbert left the room to follow their footsteps.
Only Grace and Cecilia remained.
Cecilia held her forehead in agony.
"... it's my fault."
"The bad news is the killer.There's nothing you can regret. "
Grace encourages me, but this feeling is definitely Cecilia.I didn't mean to leave the harasser alone, but sometimes it's just me, and I can't wipe the feeling of leaving it behind.
At that time, there were signs of people behind my back, and I heard a voice that I was used to hearing.
"Dress, it's getting worse than I thought."
Looking back, Ain was there.
He sighs at the messed up dress.
"Listen to me and try to rush to this...."
"Ain, I'm sorry. Maybe this is my fault."
Apparently, the female troupe member who screamed informed Ain of the situation.
He tapped Cecilia's depressed back.
"Well, don't worry. A little more than that, okay?"
"What's wrong?"
"I need to talk to you about Zwei."
That's how he saw Grace.Apparently they want to talk alone.
Grace nodded, "I'm fine," wondering if she noticed the eye contact.
Well, can I use that room?
"Oh, please."
Ain nodded with seriousness all the time.
Cecilia turned to Grace.
"I'm sorry, I have to go."
"Okay."
Hearing the reply, Cecilia left the room with Ain.
