Chapter 375

Shishigou Kairi: "The magic in this world is strange and varied; it wouldn't be strange if anything appeared."

【After thinking for a long time, Reines had no clue at all.】

【She really wasn't cut out to be a detective.】

【However, she wasn't completely without gains; she did discover something wrong.】

【That is, there were no mirrors.】

【Any woman would usually have a mirror in her room, but there was absolutely nothing of the sort in the Golden Princess's room, not even related items.】

【Inorai: "At this point, she probably didn't want to see her own face at all, right?"】

【Reines: "But generally speaking, wouldn't someone who looks so beautiful become narcissistic?"】

【"Hahaha, I can understand your theory, but that is the arrogance of youth."】

【Inorai teased: "At my age, I don't want to look in any mirror, and I even think that since it would end up like this, I should have tried harder to get plastic surgery when I was younger."】

【Reines: "???"】

【"Hehe, I'm lying to you."】

【Inorai laughed: "If I said that even now, I still look in the mirror for thirty minutes every day, would you believe me?"】

【"No, I'm sorry, I couldn't help but want to tease you."】

Waver: "Another clue, no mirrors?"

Fiore: "Even if she didn't want to see her own face, she would still prepare one just in case."

Caules: "Could it be that the maid has one prepared? After all, the maid is almost always with her."

Fiore: "That is indeed possible."

【Afterward, Inorai brought up the acquisition of El-Melloi again, which Reines skillfully handled.】

【After that, Reines took the opportunity to tell her about the Golden Princess coming to find her last night.】

【"I see, that sounds very likely to happen."】

【Inorai nodded and said: "In my eyes, the Golden Princess's results are also outstanding. When the stage changes, it's common for old methodologies to no longer apply, and Lord Byron can't be called a flexible-minded person either."】

【"Then, the Bai Yin Princess might know some information."】

【Reines: "Could I ask you to assist us in a two-on-one interrogation?"】

【Inorai: "Unfortunately, interfering that much would be mixing public and private matters. After all, this time I am just your monitor."】

Kayneth: "Hmph, this woman really doesn't let go of any opportunity."

Sola: "You should be glad that Lord Inorai is not the type with a tough attitude. If it were other Lords, they might have taken the opportunity to make trouble and forcibly annex El-Melloi."

Kayneth: "Are you asking me to be grateful to this person who is taking advantage of the situation?"

Shishigou Kairi: "The only one who might know something now is the Bai Yin Princess, but if Reines goes to ask, I'm afraid there won't be much gain."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Yeah, this girl's experience is still a bit lacking."

【Gray suddenly muttered: "... Since when did it start?"】

【Reines: "What are you talking about?"】

【"Ah! No, I mean the Golden Princess."】

【Gray was startled, not expecting her self-talk to be heard, but she said: "Of course, she might have been beautiful since she was a child, but human appearance should change during the growth process..."】

【Reines sighed and said: "Gray, in the case of the Stripping City 'Adra', my brother talked about the psychological preparation needed for investigations, right? Think about it, normal reasoning is meaningless to magi, etc."】

【Gray: "Uh, something about how Whydunit and Howdunit are meaningless in cases involving magi."】

【"However, the criminal motive might be an exception."】

【Reines: "Hmm, that makes sense."】

Waver: "Stripping City Adra case? How did another case appear?"

Kayneth: "Stripping City, what happened there?"

He still has some friendship with the current lord of Stripping City, 'Geryon Ashborn'.

Tohsaka Rin: "Constantly encountering cases, the Second is really going to develop into the detective industry."

Extra Feng Xi: "Waver, you can change careers early."

Waver: "Spare me; I don't want to get involved in these troublesome things."

【"Master, the arrangement is complete."】

【Trimmau spoke; she had already pieced the Golden Princess's corpse together like a puzzle.】

【All parts were there, with nothing missing.】

【Reines: "It seems there was no Magic Crest originally, but the Golden Princess and Bai Yin Princess can be said to be the results of magic, so the Magic Crest itself is held by Byron who performed the technique."】

【"Hmm?"】

【After checking the corpse, Reines's Mystic Eyes suddenly reacted, pointing directly to the corner of the damaged door.】

【Reines went over to check, rubbed her fingers between the door fragments and the floor, and found something sticky on her fingertips.】

【"Is it some kind of powder? The fact that it makes my eyes hurt means this thing already carries some magic. But considering this is a magus's residence, it doesn't seem surprising."】

【"What's the matter?"】

【Gray and Inorai also came over to ask.】

【Reines: "Nothing."】

【She quietly collected some powder with a handkerchief and didn't tell them.】

Shishigou Kairi: "Very good, another clue, and a key one at that."

Darnic: "Smart move; at times like this, it's better not to let others know about your discoveries easily."

Kotomine Shirou: "If we can figure out what kind of magic powder this is, maybe we'll have a direction."

【After the investigation, Reines planned to return to her room to organize her thoughts.】

【After returning to the room, Gray's stomach growled.】

【So many things happened in the morning, and they hadn't eaten breakfast yet.】

【But in the current situation, she didn't dare to eat the food provided by Izelma again.】

【Seeing this, Reines took out some canned food and dry rations from her bag, and even the drinking water was mineral water she brought herself.】

【Gray: "Miss Reines, do you always carry these things?"】

【Reines: "I often lived a life of fleeing before I inherited El-Melloi, so I developed the habit of carrying a minimum amount of preserved food with me."】

【"Ihihihihihi, another murder case; I think it's possessed by a ghost. No, no, being possessed by a ghost is a matter of course. You are also an elite Gravekeeper in England; it's inevitable that magi will be cursed by those around them. Ugh-gogogogogogo!"】

【Halfway through, Ad couldn't hold back his sharp tongue and was naturally given a toss by Gray.】

Knight of Treachery: "I didn't notice it before, but this guy's tone is very familiar."

Lancelot: "... Kay."

Knight of Treachery: "Right, it's that big mouth; this tone is exactly the same as that guy!"

"Kay, brother..."

Artoria also thought of that foster brother who had been supporting and protecting her since she was a child.

When the three of them were traveling together, every time Artoria and Merlin caused trouble, it was this foster brother who cleaned up after them.

Although he was a sharp-tongued big mouth, he was a knight everyone could trust.

This Ad's way of speaking is really like Kay's.

"..."

Looking at Artoria like this, Extra Feng Xi couldn't spoil it for her; Ad's personality was created by imitating Kay.

Anyway, it should be in the 'Atlas Contract' chapter in tomorrow's or the day after's video, and everything will be revealed, and Artoria will be able to see Kay, although it's in the video.

I don't know if Kay will join the chat group; after all, this guy has never landed.

However, the First Emperor of Pan-Human History has joined the group, so Kay should be fine as long as the time is right.

【After the two finished eating and were about to talk about business, Trimmau suddenly gave a warning.】

【This was a warning that someone was coming.】

【"May I interrupt?"】

【Sure enough, the next moment, a dark-skinned man walked in without even knocking.】

【It was Mick, who had taken the lead in targeting Reines before.】

【"Rude intrusion is not worth praising."】

【Reines narrowed her eyes and said: "What is it?"】

【Mick: "Sorry, didn't you hear any strange cries just now? Like the cry of a wild cat thrown out with a cage."】

【Reines: "... No, you're overthinking it."】 ===== CHAPTER 377 =====
