"... there was a man who was dead in the back of the building, wasn't there?

"Oh, there were definitely two of you."

"One didn't know who he was, but the other said he was looking after him in an orphanage."

I heard the story and the guy doesn't even know where the soldiers came from...... and I asked him if he was aware of the basement connected from that room with that in mind.

"There was a room in that room that led to the basement, did you go?

"What happened to that room?

"No, I haven't seen..."

That being said, Mr. Helga and the others began to talk about it because they had looked at me with a little inclination at each other's faces.

"There's a little trick on the bookshelf I keep in that room and there's a door behind it. As for the end of the door...... I was hoping that Mr. Helga and the others would actually see it."

That said, Mr. Helga and the others looked at me with a strange look on their faces. Then after a while I heard it as if Mr. Helga had said he was somewhat terrified.

"... does that mean... that there is something?

I nodded slowly at Mr. Helga's inquiry, looking slightly more harsh, and I wondered if Mr. Langa and I had met each other in the face, and Mr. Langa nodded and left the room. That's how we were left. Mr. Helga spoke to me as he seemed uncomfortable.

"... I'm sorry I reminded you of something you didn't like."

Mr. Helga came to apologize, bowing his head as he did so at first.

"Mr. Helga doesn't care! What was being done over there is a bad thing. Because I think soldier's job is to solve that... It's natural to listen in to gather information. Otherwise you might not even be able to grab that thread..."

Having said that, Mr. Helga seemed a little surprised, but immediately laughed bitterly.

"I didn't know the lady understood you that way...... I'm a little surprised, but I'm glad you're working with me."

"Really?

"That's right. We soldiers work hard to keep the peace. Still, things like this can happen..."

"That's a hard thing to do..."

I told him that there was nothing more I knew while we talked about that. Then I got to talk to Mr. Helga a little bit and break up. When we broke up, I went back to the inn and said, "Thank you for the basement."
