141 – The Perfect Crime
The Perfect Crime
“We are sacrificing everything for the goddess.”
It’s a second year, but Balamber, who is the first to gather and lead the fanatics, speaks with a gentle smile.
He’s not wearing a priestly robe, but from the look on his face, he looks like a devout high priest.
“Jealousy… Poor human beings stained with the world. The Goddess’ will is our will. No matter what the Goddess does, we are never jealous. Because the Goddess’s happiness is our happiness. We watch from a distance, There is only one.”
Ray leans over and whispers to Philia.
“You pretend to be godly, but you’re talking about a pervert.”
She nods slightly to see if she agrees.
I just changed the object of praise to an aria rather than a god, but it gives me goosebumps.
Even if Elin, who came to listen, smiled hard, Balambert didn’t care and looked up at the sky.
The fanatics behind him, including him, raised their heads with their eyes shining as if they were seeing something holy.
“Ah… Ah, ahahahahaha. I see. If you have any thoughts, please let me know later. Because saving Zeroa is what the… Goddess?”
“Yes, I will follow God’s will.”
When Elin asks for a handshake, Balamber falls to her knees, takes her hand and kisses the back of her hand.
With her face contemplative, Elin hides her trembling hands and leaves her fanatics.
“What is this place? Why are there crazy people in Legandia Academy, where there are only elites?!”
“Even if you look like that, your skills are good. He’s also a promising player.”
At Rai’s words, Elin looked at the others with an incomprehensible expression, but they also gave her a small nod.
She’s too conspicuous to be investigated, so Elin goes back to Rai’s house, thinking she’s really glad she left Aria behind.
“These are Mr. Zeroa’s things.”
Ellin sees Zeroa’s things Kara brought her.
Various items such as the formal dress she wore on the day of the prom, the bag she always carried, and the shoes are laid out.
“Do you see something through the eyes of a fixer?”
“I’m not a fixer, I’m a detective!”
Correcting her words towards her rai, who looks around with her robes, Elin tells her not to touch her and puts her down.
“Not fussy.”
“No, if someone touches it, it can leave a different memory.”
Filia feels strange about Elin’s words. She would normally say traces, but she used the word memory.
She was a bit awkward to call it a replacement word.
“What are you going to do with this?”
“I’m revealing now, but I have an ability passed down from generation to generation in my family.”
Elin looks up at her lie triumphantly.
“Memories remain even in objects without souls. I can read the memories left behind in objects.”
“Is there such a magic?”
“No, Mr. Aslan. This is not magic. It is a gift from God.”
Elin shook her head.
When she heard that God gave her, Philia thought of a miracle, but that was also wrong.
“Remnants of memory…”
“It’s like a special ability passed down through blood. Skills from the past can be left as genetic units, leaving abilities as a legacy to members of the family.”
“Huh? Genes? What does that mean?”
Although Aslan expressed her doubts, she could not call him ignorant.
Not only he, but also Philia, Mia, and her partner, Elin, didn’t understand what he meant.
“As expected Mr. Rai… You are well-informed.”
“It’s done. The reasoning is a piece of sh*t, it was a scam after all.”
“Ah! No! Memory remnants are not omnipotent! I can only read a tiny bit of it, so it may or may not be helpful! It’s just a reasoning tool to help me!”
At the word fraud, Elin denies it with a loud voice, perhaps hurting her pride.
Asran thought that she was cute with her small body and how she got angry, but Rai grabbed her ears and lifted them up.
“Ears, ears! Deaf! Mr. Lai calm down! Calm down!”
“So you shook hands with everyone you met. Hey, why did you hide it from me until now?
“No! No! I hid it back then! Now too many people know about it, so I have no choice but to reveal it, but if this ability is revealed, it’s dangerous, so I have no choice but to hide it! And that information isn’t for me, I don’t sell customer information!”
As Rai brought her face closer and made her face, Elin hurriedly said, holding her hand that held her ear.
Since we met several times during our days as Demons of the World, he was able to steal military information with his ability.
If you don’t know the ability, you have no choice but to hand over the information defenselessly, so you have no choice but to be vigilant.
When Lai, who understands her circumstances, drops her off, she trembles and checks to see if her ears are attached.
“Why are you bullying your child?”
“That’s right, you were too harsh on Elin.”
As Aslan and Mia criticize him, Elin nods her head and looks at her with displeasure.
But she turns her head as soon as Rai meets her eyes looking down to see if she’s scared.
“Oh, that. Let’s skip the trivial things and read the remaining memories first.”
Turning her topic around, Elin brings Zeroa’s robe from the table to her.
“First of all, the formal clothes. Remnants of memory cannot read ordinary everyday life. So, they are very helpful in solving the case.”
“What are you talking about?”
When Aslan asks back, Elin raises her hand as if asking a good question.
She must have explained how many times while she was working, but she seems to be happy to show off her skills.
“An example would be a kitchen knife. Cooking with a kitchen knife is a daily routine. But killing people by stabbing them with a kitchen knife is not a daily routine for a kitchen knife, right? Those things remain.”
“You can’t just say it’s a strong memory that’s not normal. I’ve even given examples like that.”
“Because it’s an object. If you substitute it to a person, it’s easy to understand, but if you explain it with an object, there are many people who don’t understand.”
At Rai’s scolding, Elin spoke condescendingly and then she put her hand on her robe.
“You said you danced with Aria, right? Let’s check if your alibi is true.”
Elin closes her eyes.
Nothing has changed on the outside of her, but memories of her flow into Elin’s head.
A dark street, a street lamp illuminating a bench, and two people dancing.
“It’s more romantic than I thought.”
“Oh, how was it?”
“I just said I like the background.”
When Mia asks with her eyes wide open, Elin ignores her in order to protect her pure girlish love.
“And there are two more in the background that the clothes remember. A knight with a nosebleed.”
“Aria’s escort knight. Often.”
“Does it happen often……? This is a really strange neighborhood.”
Receiving Elin’s questioning gaze, Rai also nodded her head.
“There is one more person besides the knight. A man hiding in the bush and watching.”
“What does it look like?”
“I can’t see it because it’s dark. Instead, I can clearly see the veins in the eyes. It seems that this is the first time that Yebok has ever received attention like this. The eyes are very emphasized.”
“Eye color.”
“It’s green.”
Everyone’s eyes go to Aslan except Ellin, who closes her eyes while reading her memories.
Dark green hair and green eyes.
“Caught.”
“Oh, don’t play around! Is it time to play around?!”
While the two of them are making a fuss while shaking off Rai’s hand, Elin touches her bag and reads her memories.
Since it is a bag that is rarely touched by anyone other than the owner, there is a high probability that it will remain in the memory of others who touch it.
“…… Was Zeroa bullied? You put something strange in your lunch box.”
“Do you remember it? What does it look like? I tried to catch that bastard too.”
Aslan reacts and says scary eyes.
It’s scary, but Elin, who opens her eyes to explain, is startled and hides behind Rai when her expression turns grim.
“That, don’t be so excited… First of all, green eyes and silver hair…”
“Dark brown.”
“Does anyone know?”

Everyone stares at Philia as she speaks.
“It’s a 3rd year senior. Diana is investigating that senior.”
“The prime suspect.”
“Damn it, that bastard pretended to be friendly and I knew it. You left behind.”
“Is there a scene where the relic is placed?”
The identity of the bullied person has been revealed, but the most important person has yet to be revealed.
At Rai’s words, everyone stared at Elin’s mouth.
“No. No. No one touched Mr. Zeroa’s bag.”
“… Then did Zeroa really steal it?”
Aslan muttered with an expression of disbelief.
Mia has also changed her expression to look like she’s about to cry, and Philia shakes her head as her awkward mood continues.
“I must have put it in myself. I don’t know what it is.”
“Yes, that’s right. According to Mr. Zeroa’s statement, he had tea time with Mr. Orle and received many presents.”
Elin goes through her notebook and finds the record of the conversation she had with Zeroa.
“It was burdensome because they were expensive, but the atmosphere was hard to refuse, so I almost pushed them away. This person is good at talking. He’s accusing me of asking me to save face. It’s hard not to accept it if that’s the case.”
“That said, there is no evidence that he put it in.”
Elin nodded her head at Rai’s words.
“Yes, that’s right. I’ve looked through the memories of the items in the bag, but nothing comes out. Even if it’s a relic, it’s just the same thing as yourself. I don’t have any helpful memories.”
“Then what are you going to do? We haven’t found anything in the end.”
The frustrated Aslan expresses her dissatisfaction, but Elin laughs.
“This is just the beginning. It’s a detective’s job to gather people’s testimonies, find evidence, and uncover the truth. Don’t worry.”
Although she looks like a small child, Elin comforts Aslan in a grown-up way.
In the meantime, Philia has continued to solve the puzzle pieces.
Then she feels the gaze on herself and she looks at Rai.
“What kind of guy is Orle?”
At Rai’s question, Philia frowned as if she didn’t want to talk, then opened her mouth.
“I hate to think he’s talking behind his back, but on the surface, senior Orle is polite and gentle, and he’s a person who wholeheartedly helps those in need. He has a grace in his actions, so he’s respected.”
“What if I take off the mask?”
“It’s garbage. It’s a selfish human being, and no one in the academy will follow in envying others.”
“A great villain. He deserves to be blamed for being naive.”
Rai nods her head and smiles.
But without looking away from her, she is staring at Philia.
“Why?”
“What would be most helpful in this situation?”
At Rai’s question, Philia thought for a moment.
She has already researched many people she has. She also looked up the whereabouts of Orle, whose name was just mentioned, and he went home just as early as Zeroa on the day of the prom.
It is said to be a heart attack, but no conclusive evidence has emerged.
I have memories of bullying Zeroa, but I don’t remember putting her castle relics in there.
Remnants of memory is definitely a good ability, but unfortunately, there are many ways to escape if you don’t do it yourself.
Then there was only one answer.
“If Ms. Elin reads the relic, everything will be resolved… It must be an unfamiliar experience for the relic to be moved to another location due to theft… Yo… Wait a minute, what is that expression?”
Philia continues her explanation and is taken aback by Rai’s expression.
A bad boy with a very pleasant idea.
Having an ominous prediction, Philia shook her head and stopped him.
“No, no. No, no.
Although she didn’t say anything, Philia becomes desperate when she sees Rai, who is determined to steal by her expression.
But he smiled brightly.
“What did you say my talent was?”
“…… Yes?”
“The perfect crime.”
There was one more person who was anxious to see Rai smile like a devil, and that was Elin.
Faced with the mad smile of her days as the Demon of the World, Elin regretted that she had taken on this job for nothing.

“Hello, senior Orle.”
“There are a lot of visitors today. You are also trying to help Zeroa-kun.”
Seeing Diana approaching with a bright face, Orle recommends her place.
But Diana didn’t sit down and looked down at Orle.
“Is that you?”
Although he was a senior, there was no respect or respect whatsoever.
Her magic power rises with her life force, and her blue hair floats in the air.
However, Orle was not at all taken aback by her menacing attitude.
“Why do you think so? I’m asking people to help him.”
“Is that so? No. You must be spreading rumors that Zeroa is the culprit.”
He was cleverly imprinting Zeroa’s crimes in his mind while pretending to seek information from the other academy students.
Her own ulterior motive was exposed in Diana’s mouth, but he calmly shook her head.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You are the one who doesn’t know.”
Diana smiles at Orle, who holds out her flippers.
“You are now challenging the sophomores. Zeroa has a good reputation. The sophomores and Lycans you were so envious of are coming to strangle you, so enjoy life while you can.”
After finishing her words, Diana turns around and walks away without even listening to her answer.
“Is Zeroa-kun really that great? It doesn’t look like that.”
Diana’s steps stopped after hearing Orle’s words.
Looking back, her expression was full of ridicule.
“That innocent boy isn’t great. But everyone who likes Zeroa is great. Oh, that’s right. Let’s make this clear. Even the not-so-great Zeroa is a great person who can’t compare to you. Do you understand, nerd?”
Diana blows her stop and walks back.
“It was too impulsive. No matter how bad you are, if you’re eaten by jealousy, it’ll be bitter. It’s for everyone’s sake that such a person leave the empire.”
She meant to end your life somehow.
