Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Master Kaidoo...

As soon as I entered the Adventurer Alliance, Ralph came closer.The fact that you introduced me to Leah's shop should also be good with Leah.You must have been worried.

I'll tell Leah and Sanamari what I've seen.

"Oh no....."

"I'm resting now, but I think I'm mentally tough.I want to find out who did this right away.That's why Nil and I take orders. Is that all right? "

Ralbell nods with cockroach and gives me the request form as soon as possible.

I want the person in charge to tell me the details, so Nil and I go to a separate room to talk to the person in charge.

A few Guild employees are waiting to talk to you, and Nil and I will correct our posture when we enter the room.

"This is the Caidoo I asked you to do.I don't need a precursor, so give me more information. "

The Guild staff nodded and told me the details of the incident.

Taken together, Osamu was almost the same as Hulina, but the only difference was that the crime was committed day and night irrespective.This kind of rumor changes a lot when you tell people.Ning, it would be somewhat astonishing to see how this difference has been conveyed.

When I heard more about it, I found something we didn't know in the details.

First of all, in this strange case, there were seven victims, including Sanamari.

The breakdown is four women and three men.Age is fragmented, with children and the elderly among them.

Everyone does not remember the incident in the same way, and although they do not know who and what attacked them, they only remember the fact that they were attacked.

However, she didn't know what she had done and was just confused.

The only thing we know is that all the crimes are happening in the city.

"I hardly know anything..."

"There's no clue..."

The men who explained to me looked bitter.

Adventurers are experts in killing monsters in the first place.If this is the work of a monster, it is the domain of an adventurer, but it is different in the case of people.

In the case of monsters, the goal is usually to fill their stomachs.

If a high-intelligence SS-ranked monster or person is the perpetrator, the purpose is diverse.

I can't imagine stealing to satisfy my appetite, but in this city, it's not that hard to satisfy my appetite.The way you do it is wrong, but it's easy to get food if you put it in someone else's field.Perhaps the city of Rangebi is the least hungry city in the world.

I don't think I've done this much to deprive others of food in such a city.

In other words, it seems that the Adventurer Guild thinks it is a SS ranked monster or a person's work because it is thought to have caused such an incident with some intent.

As I imagined, I think SS ranked monsters are unlikely, but if they were SS ranked monsters, if the Adventurer Alliance is not moving, accusations will come later, so I asked them to do it.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"As far as we've been able to investigate, there are things that could be particularly clues....."

"Okay. Okay. I'll do it later."

"Thank you."

Nil and I will leave the Adventurer Guild as soon as we have the information.

"We have less information than we thought."

"Though you heard the details of the incident, there wasn't much that led to the culprit."

"I guess that's the trouble with him."

What are you going to do now?

"Let's talk to the victims first.If you say you're an Alliance employee, you might have been silent if you didn't say something bad. "

When I was in the old world, I used to talk to the police for a while.

When I think about it at that time, I just ask the police, just look at the uniform, and I try not to talk unconsciously or out of tension except for the important content.

The Guild staff will be in a position like the police at that time.For this reason, there may be some things that the victim did not dare to talk about, even though they were in the victim's position, due to tension and unconsciousness.

There is a high probability that you didn't talk about sensory things or things that you can't remember clearly because your memory is stubborn.That's what I want to hear.

"I've heard your name and where you live, so let's go see you in the oldest order."

"Yes."

We'll start immediately and get to the first victim, the man.

Concon....

The victim knocks on the door of the man's house.

Gacha...

"Yes."

The man from the Beast tribe came out of the house.

Is he about thirty years old?

Who are you?

"I'm looking into the case.An adventurer named Caidoo. I need to talk to you for a second, okay? "

After showing me the requisition form, it will go through the house as if it were convincing.

"Go inside."

I dare not use honorific language because we are an adventurer and intuitively understand that we are in a different position from the guild staff.If the other man knew he was a young adventurer and Frank talked to him, he wouldn't be so nervous.

When I enter the house, it is a very clean room... or there are quite a few things.

"Ah... I'm going to move in a little bit.

If you're a victim of a crime that you don't know what you've done, it's a shadow that tells you a lot.It was a little difficult to live here, so I decided to move. "

"... I see."

Even if the victim is a man, there will be few victims who dare to approach them without knowing what they have done.Regardless of gender, the harm suffered by the victim remains the same.

A man suggests a seat on the remaining couch.

I'm a man sitting face to face with his hips down.

So, what do you want to hear?I told all the stories to the Guild staff. "

"Oh, I hear that."

"Then there's nothing to talk about?"

"All I want to know is if you remember anything else.At the time of the incident, I wanted to see if it was relevant or not and ask what I remembered.

Do you remember anything? "

"Even if I told you, I told you everything....."

"It's fine if it's trivial.I'd like to know if there's anything. "

"That's right...."

Men look down diagonally and try to remember.

"If you say so..."

"Do you remember anything?"

"I'm not sure if this is really the case..."

"I don't mind. Tell me."

"I remember something smelling like flowers."

"Flowers?"

"Oh, I don't know if I really did, but I think I might be mistaken.I don't know much about flowers, and I don't know what they smell like... "

"No, thank you. Anything else?"

"... no, that's all I remember."

"Well, thank goodness."

"I wish I could help you with this...."

"Enough."

"Well... I'm leaving town... but I heard there were others who were attacked.For their sake, catch the killer. "

"Oh, I'll catch you."

Nil and I thank each other one last time and leave the house.

"The smell of flowers..."

"I don't know if that'll help us, but there's something the Alliance staff don't know."

"I didn't feel very confident..."

"I guess I wasn't really sure.If you forget everything but being attacked, you won't even know if the scent of flowers was before, in the middle of, or after the incident. "

"I hope you connect well..."

"Let's go talk to the other victims in order to connect."

"Yes."

After all, it was after noon when the investigation started, so I went to the other victim's woman's house that day, so I did my best.

I managed to get to the victim's woman's house at a time when she was not insane, but because she was a woman of our age, she was still in quite a mental shock and blocked.

In conclusion, I was told to go home to my parents at the front door, so I couldn't hear anything.

Before sundown, Nil and I will return to Leah and Sanamari.

"Hülina, how's Leah and Sanamari?"

Hulina will welcome us back.

"Both of us are calm now.I can't say I'm fine... "

"I know you have a job, but I'm sorry."

"It's for Leah and Sanamari.Besides, you can always work.Leah is the only one waiting for my job. "

In the meantime, it seems that Mr. Hulina is working as an Alliance employee, but it's not about coercion, it's about helping.Originally, it was the scene where Mr. Hulina was traveling without her, and I don't think there will be any problems.

"I'm going to continue the investigation with Nil from tomorrow, but can I ask Leah and Sanamari to give their regards?"

"Yes, Ning, I'd like to ask you a favor."

"Thank you."

After all, I went to see what was going on with Leah and Sanamari, but the two of them seemed to be talking in the room, so I left them alone.Better talk to your mother and daughter now than we do.

"Leah is still allowed to stay here today, so please stay here.I'll stay too. I want you to use the same room as yesterday. "

Got it.

We went there for the conversation, to the room, and we fell asleep immediately.

The next day.

Nil and I got up early in the morning and headed for the third victim, the woman.

"You may not be able to listen to female victims again."

"The victim should be treated more seriously than the perpetrator.If you don't like the victims, you can't force them to tell you. "

"That's right... I'm glad you talked to me... you should go with as much as you want."

In the original world, there was more subsequent damage to the victim than to the perpetrator… I think that was often felt.That's not good after all.From the information we can hear, let's find a way to connect.

If it's still impossible, keep your head down many times and listen to me.If it's still impossible, we'll think about it again.

The third victim lived in the city, quite a distance from the densely populated area of the building, and the crime scene was expected to be near the house where he lived.

"Predicted crime scenes are quite different."

"That's right, everywhere, anytime..."

"The lack of regularity seems to be the monster's fault..."

"The opposite is true. Speaking of monsters, they don't have intelligence.When hunting, I use and learn many good methods.

But I don't have the intelligence to hide regularity. "

"Hiding regularity means you have that much intelligence."

"Unless there's really no regularity.Perhaps the regularity we don't realize is hidden somewhere. "

"If we don't find it soon..."

Ah.

Concon...

The third victim comes to the woman's house to talk to her.

"Um... who is it?"

It came out of an image of an Elf woman in her late twenties.

"I'm sorry for the sudden. I'm an adventurer looking into the case..."

"Sure... your name was Kaidoo-san... wasn't it?"

"Huh? Did I meet you somewhere?"

"No, just like yesterday, you visited the first victim's house, didn't you?"

"Oh, he's gone."

"I think the adventurer Caidoo is going around the victim's house, so I came late last night to ask for your help."

Really?!

You must be having a hard time...

From yesterday's reaction, it seemed that I didn't know much about the other victims.I mean, after that, I went out of my way to check it out, and I came here.Besides, being late at night meant that I was walking around this neighborhood at that time.Near the crime scene.

There is a danger of being attacked the same way as one day.

"Among the victims, he said he was a man and that he should move with a shallow wound."

What... I'm falling in love with that.

Apart from the jokes, I really appreciate the help.

If he asks me to help him, the victims will think positively.Help came from unexpected sources.

"I don't remember what happened at all... but as far as I can tell, I'll tell you everything."

Her hands are shaking because she has no idea what happened.Maybe I'm afraid of going outside or men.

It doesn't matter whether such a thing happened or not.It is a question of whether such an imagination can be made.

I decided to listen, taking care not to approach her as much as possible.I'm not going in the house.She wouldn't want to go through either.

Um...

Nil opens his mouth before I do.

"I know you don't remember the incident, but it's a trivial matter, so do you remember anything?"

"I'm sorry for the triviality... I really don't remember anything..."

Even Nil, a slave, is quite low... or scared.I suppose you imagine things.

"No, you don't have to apologize.Because I know I don't remember.

It really doesn't matter.It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the incident... for example, it smells like flowers... "

Eh?!

"Do you have any idea?"

"Yes... I thought there was nothing I could do when I talked about this... but I remember only one thing about being attacked."

"Is that the smell of flowers...?"

"Yes… the scent of a rose, to be exact."

"Roses?"

"Yes, I'm an elf, so I'm pretty familiar with flowers, and I understand... I feel more like that than I remember... and I'm not sure it was the time of the incident..."

"No, it would be very helpful to hear that."

Roses are one of the plants that grow in this world, with exactly the same ecology and look.I don't know the smell, but it is probably the same.

However, it is quite rare for people familiar with flowers because flowers are similar to their favorites.

"What else do I remember..."

"No... nothing else..."

Like the man who was the first victim, nothing else seems to come to mind.

"Thank you very much."

"No..."

I'm sure you're scared to go out, but I really appreciate you hanging out with me.For the sake of our victims, we must catch them...

Thank the elf woman, leave the scene, and discuss the information with Nil.

"Does the scent of a rose mean that it is in or near the owner of the house where the rose is growing?"

"No... I don't know.

I don't think the smell of roses will change as much as I grow them or stay close to them. "

Really?

"In the first place, we'll talk about what smell is, but in the case of roses, the ingredients of the smell in the flowers stimulate the sense of smell and can be felt as smell.

In other words, I don't think the smell will be enough for others to feel unless the ingredients adhere in a significant amount.

I'm not sure the killer smelled a rose, and I think there was a crime near the rose... but at least there's no rose nearby, and I can rule it out. "

"In that case, assuming that the killer smelled the rose... are you dealing with the smelly ingredients of the rose...?"

"I think it's highly likely.I just don't know if it's the smell from the killer or the smell from something the killer used... so it's probably not a good idea to squeeze it out. "

"I see... it's difficult..."

I smelled roses.There are a lot of things I can think of as just that kind of information.

For example, a person who works to extract the scent of roses and make fragrance oil (Koyu), or who works to process rose flowers.Alternatively, people who are regular users of such things can be considered.Though the scope has narrowed, there should still be a lot of people.

Besides, it was the two victims who heard about the smell of flowers.I'd like to ask the other four because I haven't heard from them yet.

And one more thing. Now I'm thinking of it as a solo, but there's also the possibility of multiple offenders.We must also consider that area.

"Let's start by listening to everyone.Sanamari will still be mentally tough, so let's take a look at the situation and listen. "

"Got it."

Then I went to talk to one of the victims in the morning and two in the afternoon.

In conclusion, I heard from all three.

Apparently, the first victim, the man, was able to persuade me to go around the other victims' homes today.

How handsome...

And one more thing. Apparently, the scent of roses is not just two opinions, but all opinions.

"After all, it seems that the roses hold the key."

Return to Leah's house to discuss future plans with Nil.

"Well, from tomorrow, let's go talk to the house where the roses are growing."

"The house where the roses are grown seems irrelevant, but are you going?"

"I don't really know where the rose is processed or what kind of processing it is in the first place.Ask someone and figure out where to explore. "
