Chapter 234

【This light cone.... has been kept under strict guard.】

【He must care deeply about this memory.】

Huang Quan suddenly rummaged out a light cone,

on which was engraved the scene of Sunday and Robin holding a concert for two when they were children.

【In one of Robin's interviews, she mentioned that even though she had stood on so many glamorous stages, the performance she treasured most was still the concert she held with her brother when they were children playing house.】

Welt recalled an interview he had once seen,

and could not help feeling a touch of emotion.

【I wonder how their relationship is now.】

Huang Quan asked casually.

【In the process of growing up, one always gains much, but also loses much.】

Welt sighed.

【Yes, time will smooth everything over.】

【The beautiful dreams of youth.... will eventually wake as well.】

Huang Quan, too, added a line with an unreadable expression.

【Mr. Sunday's research on the suspect is very thorough—this traitor must have been troubling the family for a long time.】

Huang Quan came to the desk,

and found a research report by Sunday concerning the suspect.

【Looks like they're all internal members of the family....】

【But I haven't seen a single one of them.】

Welt looked at the personnel list on it,

and found that not a single person on it was familiar to him.

【Hm? These characteristics......】

Suddenly,

Huang Quan looked at the characteristic notes Sunday had jotted down inside,

and seemed to think of something11.

【What has Young Lady Huang Quan thought of?】

Welt, seeing Huang Quan's expression,

could not help but ask.

【Nothing, I'm probably overthinking it......】

【If this traitor truly exists, could it be that he killed Firefly and Miss Robin?】

Huang Quan did not voice her guess.

【Perhaps this is why Sunday attaches so much importance to this matter.】

Welt believed that the reason Sunday placed such weight on the matter of Death

was precisely because Death had killed Robin.

【It seems the Lord of the Dreams of Penacony and this old Mr. Oti are both rather dissatisfied with Sunday's recent behavior.】

Welt, on the other side of the desk,

found a letter from the head of the Alfalfa family line,

the contents of which

expressed the dissatisfaction of several other family heads with Sunday's abuse of authority—deploying large numbers of personnel to investigate Death in order to avenge his sister.

It also said that even the Lord of the Dreams

had very strong objections to his recent behavior.

They hoped he would come to his senses quickly, let go of his hatred,

and focus on presiding over the great Harmony Festival—an important matter.

【They don't seem to care about Death all that much.....】

【They care more about the Harmony Festival and the Watchmaker.】

Through this letter,

Huang Quan discerned the other family heads' attitude toward Death.

【Perhaps the other family heads don't think Death is much of a problem......】

【The family is also checking one another from within—riddled with contradictions.】

Welt shook his head,

believing that the family was not all that united after all.

【Let's stop here.....】

【There doesn't seem to be anything else worth noting.】

After searching for a while longer,

Huang Quan felt she could find no more useful information,

and ended the operation.

【Before stepping through the great door, I had imagined all sorts of scenes for dealing with the family......】

【But I never expected that what greeted us was nothing but an empty residence......】

Welt surveyed the empty surroundings,

with more than a touch of helplessness.

"Hm?!"

"Careful, someone's coming!"

Suddenly Huang Quan sensed something,

and hastily warned Welt.

"Entering a restricted area without permission — surely that's not how one behaves as a guest?"

"Mr. Welt, and......"

".... the Galaxy Ranger, Ms. Huang Quan?"

Sunday, no one knew when,

had already come up behind the two of them.

Stelle: "Looks like Sunday really has been tirelessly investigating clues about the deaths."

Stelle: "Seems he's taking this matter very seriously!"

Furina: "But what's chilling is that the other factions of the family have all turned a deaf ear to this."

Furina: "They don't even take it seriously!"

Furina: "Isn't this just being utterly irresponsible!"

Hu Tao: "Death has already silently killed over a hundred people!"

Hu Tao: "And they can still sit there calmly, even scheming against each other....."

Hu Tao: "All that talk of inclusiveness, of unity — it really was all fake, huh....."

Nahida: "Looking at it this way, Mr. Sunday's situation really is tough...."

Nahida: "He's the only one willing to investigate the truth, and the only one eager to hunt down the traitor."

Nahida: "But his actions get no support from the family, and he even faces the risk of impeachment...."

Boothill: "Meow! The dignified head of the Oak family, and he doesn't even have the right to avenge his own sister?"

Boothill: "If that's the case, why bother being family head at all — just rebel and quit!"

Boothill: "Holy crap, if it were me, I couldn't swallow that crap!"

Robin: "My brother is the head of the Oak family, carrying the fate of all Penacony on his shoulders."

Robin: "So..... he can't afford to be careless in anything he does."

Robin: "This is also a helpless measure......"

March 7th: "But judging from the light cone he kept, clearly what he cares about more is you!"

March 7th: "So even if the family really does impeach him, I don't think Mr. Sunday would give up, right?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "Mr. Sunday's subsequent actions have already proven he didn't give up."

Kamisato Ayaka: "For that, he even didn't hesitate to borrow Mr. Topaz's power."
