Chapter 762 Their own thoughts

"Eh, really?!"

Hearing Holmes' affirmation, Kasukabe Yō slightly widened her eyes in surprise, and Kuon Asuka also said happily for her:

"That's pretty impressive, Yao-san."

"is it?"

Kasukabe Yō showed a shy smile, then looked at Holmes and Izayoi Sakamaki and said:

"But Mr. Holmes, even Izayoi should have been able to reason further than I did, right?"

"'Even'? Do you mean to say that I am no match for the great detective?"

Izayoi Sakamaki raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, but the next moment he suddenly shrugged his shoulders and grinned indifferently:

"Well, maybe I am a little behind in this regard. But based on this one time, I can say for sure that our progress should be about the same."

"When I say 'we', I include you, Yao-san."

"Eh?"

Kasukabe Yō opened his eyes slightly again.

Kasukabe Yō's reasoning process was actually rather rough, and there was also some luck involved, but overall it was a lucky coincidence, and he eventually came to the correct conclusion.

As for the third victory condition, the only thing left is what the "shattered starry sky" refers to, which remains to be determined for now, but it should not be difficult to solve once you climb up to the castle.

In fact, he already had some guesses about the matter, and he believed that Holmes was the same.

It's just that since we haven't seen any physical evidence yet, it's just speculation for now.

In other words, the third victory condition has actually been almost solved at this point.

"I see!"

Kasugabe Yo suddenly understood what was going on.

At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kuon Asuka, who were showing off, looked at each other at the same time.

Fujimaru Ritsuka could see the surprise and unwillingness in Hison Asuka's eyes, and it seemed that she was not going to admit defeat in this regard, but she had already given up on it.

If possible, she would even like to leave all the things that require thinking to smart people like Holmes.

On the other side, after listening to the conversation between the few people, Black Rabbit said happily:

"This is amazing! I didn't expect that even the third victory condition could be solved so quickly!"

"We have to share this information with Lady Sarah and the others as soon as possible, ahh ...

Izayoi Sakamaki grabbed Kuroto's ears roughly and sighed helplessly:
"You stupid rabbit, don't you know how to use your brain more?"

"What do you mean? And please let go of my ears!"

Ignoring Black Rabbit's protest, Izayoi Sakamaki said dissatisfiedly:

"You haven't forgotten how Pest became the follower of Chih-hsiang, have you?"

"……what."

Black Rabbit was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly realized something.

According to the rules of the box garden, anyone who cracks the Demon King Game can turn the Demon King into his or her own follower. This is exactly what happened to Pest, and Leticia, who now initiated the Demon King Game, will naturally be no exception.

And if the person who cracks Leticia's game is someone other than [No Name], Leticia will become that person's person!

It was precisely because of this selfish motive that Izayoi Sakamaki did not announce this information at the combat meeting.

"So, you are not allowed to say too much later, got it?"

"If you had said so earlier, wouldn't people have known it?"

Black Rabbit finally broke free from Izayoi Sakamaki's hands, rubbed his ears in pain, and nodded while complaining aggrievedly.

After all, she certainly didn't want Leticia to be taken away by someone from another community.

"You guys are really..."

As the person involved, Leticia was touched and at the same time she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But before she could say anything, she heard Izayoi Sakamaki say:
"But even so, it's still not safe enough."

After all, no one can guarantee whether someone else has cracked the third victory condition, and he is not arrogant enough to think that they are the only smart people in the box.

Therefore, in his opinion, the key point to ensure that they are the ones who crack the Demon King Game is actually the fourth victory condition, which is Fujimaru Ritsuka's side.

"Ritsuka, are you sure you have a way to penetrate the dragon's heart?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"That'll be easy!"

Izayoi Sakamaki clapped his hands and suggested with a smirk:

"Otherwise, let's go kill the dragon tonight!"

"How can this be possible? It's too dangerous!"

Kuro Usagi immediately expressed her concern, but Izayoi Sakamaki just impatiently turned her aside and stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka, waiting for her answer.

however--

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his cheek and smiled awkwardly:
"Well, actually, I have some other plans here."

To be precise, it was another goal that Holmes told her about last night after everyone went back to rest.

Capture the members of Ouroboros.

Speaking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had two chances to catch one of the other side last night, but the other side successfully slipped away both times.

Back to the point.

The Ouroboros Alliance acted in great secrecy. Holmes and Shiroyasha had been investigating together for nearly a month but had not gained much.

However, now, a real Ouroboros member suddenly appeared in their sight.

As long as they can capture one of them, even the leader called 'Your Highness', they will have a chance to obtain more information about the Ouroboros Alliance.

Holmes didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, the other party is now in the dark, and any rash action will only alert the enemy and cause him to retreat back into the darkness.

Therefore, Holmes suggested taking advantage of the official battle three days later.

Since the mastermind behind the attack on the South District is also Ouroboros, it is very likely that the other party will show up again on the day when the war officially resumes, and send subordinates to assist in the battle, or even serve as the main force, just like last night.

And that was the real time for them to act——

Capture the members of Ouroboros, then defeat the dragon to end the battle.

“——That’s it.”

"I see!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and then they looked at Holmes with a strange look in their eyes.

In such a short time last night, not only did he crack the third and fourth victory conditions in succession, he even came up with such a plan immediately...

Should I say he is worthy of being a famous detective? So amazing (scary?).

However, they also care about [Ouroboros] who has become enemies with [No Name].

The only doubt was that this plan seemed to be using Sarah and the others, but Holmes said that he could directly confess the plan to the other party, and now even the last bit of doubt disappeared.

"alright, I got it."

Izayoi Sakamaki nodded in agreement and gave up the original plan of night attack.

But at the same time, he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with interest and said:
"Speaking of which, now that things have come to this, isn't it time for you to tell us what exactly you and Bai Yasha were investigating before?"

"Eh? This..."

"The enemy attacked the community's base and turned Leticia into this state."

"You can't just keep trying to brush us off by saying 'it has nothing to do with us' now, can you?"
