However, when faced with Gengo's questions, the girl remained silent and taciturn. To put it bluntly, she was 'unyielding and unresponsive.' But Gengo was very patient and kept trying to get the answers he wanted by asking questions and getting nods and shakes of her head.
"Hehehe, I'm sorry, Miku has caused you trouble."
Suddenly, a bright, cheerful smile appeared on the girl's face. Her goofy grin reminded Gengo of Narumi Akiko from Fuuto next door; they both seemed a bit silly. But he didn't pay any attention to that and continued in a professional tone:
"It's just part of my job duties, please don't mind. May I ask your name?"
"My name is Nakano Yotsuba!"
The girl grinned and flashed a peace sign, saying cheerfully:
"The first person to greet you was Ichika, then Nino, then Miku, and now it's my turn, Yotsuba!"
"Hello, Ms. Yotsuba. Is it possible that the personality switching between you sisters is uncontrollable?"
"Yes."
Yotsuba Nakano smiled and nodded, swaying slightly from side to side as she said:
"I don't know what happened, they just suddenly changed the players, it was completely random."
"Are other people also able to observe the changes in the outside world now?"
"Yes, yes!"
Yotsuba Nakano nodded vigorously, then whispered with some difficulty:
"And I can taste what other people are eating, but because everyone wants to eat so many things, Ichika's weight is starting to get out of control lately."
"One more question."
Gengo waved his hand, drawing Nakano Yotsuba's attention away from her weight, and said softly:
"Can you communicate with them now?"
"Well... sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's not."
Nakano Yotsuba scratched her cheek and said with a smile:
"Just now, I think I heard Ichika's scolding voice. But if I weren't occupying the body, I would like to talk to the others."
Thank you for your cooperation.
"Mr. Yuanxiang, you're too kind."
Um! ?
Sensing the change in tone, Genji looked up at the girl in front of him. His beautiful face was full of seriousness, suggesting he was someone who liked to nitpick. Meanwhile, noticing Genji's gaze, the girl quickly waved her hand, somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"I was answering on behalf of Yotsuba, Mr. Gengo, please don't misunderstand."
“I understand, Miss May. Please don’t be nervous. Just call me Gensou. Using honorifics makes it seem like I’m the client.”
To be honest, compared to the first three, the last two were much easier to get along with, so Gengo's words became even gentler. Upon hearing this, Nakano Satsuki looked at Gengo in surprise and said:
How did you know me?
"this."
Gengo pointed to the notebook in front of her; the name 'Nakano Satsuki' on the cover was particularly eye-catching.
"Miss May, is there anything that feels amiss?"
"this....."
After a brief recollection, Nakano Satsuki began to recount her story earnestly. It was clear that although Nakano Nino was more talkative, her main points did not conflict with those of the others. As they listened to their stories, Gengo silently marked out the places in Tokyo and Kyoto that needed to be investigated. Of course, their home was the most noteworthy, as they had left too many traces there, and perhaps some clues could be found.
"Mr. Gensho, is there anything else you need my cooperation with?"
"Miss Ichika, may I look around your house?"
"Eh?!"
The girl in front of him paused for a moment, then pointed to herself and said:
“Mr. Gensou, I am May.”
"Miss Ichika."
Gensou withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and looked at the girl beside him, saying:
“I believe you’ve heard the saying, ‘The eyes are the windows to the soul.’ Miss May doesn’t see anyone as quirky and mischievous as you. May I take a look at the situation here?”
"of course can."
Ichika Nakano answered cheerfully:
"Yuanxiang, you can go anywhere in this house if you feel it's necessary. Would you like me to show you the other people's rooms?"
"please."
Yuanxiang gestured an invitation and said softly:
"Even if you didn't say it, that's what I thought too. Kirisu-sensei, could you please record the whole thing on your phone? Ichika-san, is that something you mind?"
"no problem."
"Ah...ah! Okay!"
To be honest, even though I've lived in the same city for so long, this is the first time that I've ever seen Gengo come to my door to ask for a favor. How should I put it? I feel a little out of place.
Kirisu Mafuyu took the Nakano sisters' phone and, at Gengo's prompting, turned on the recording function in front of Nakano Ichika to ensure there was nothing else amiss. She then began recording Gengo's actions. Gengo first searched through the living room, kitchen, and other areas. Then, Nakano Ichika and Kirisu Mafuyu saw the boy taking out various items from the nooks and crannies. These were undoubtedly things that the five sisters had unintentionally left behind. However, there was nothing strange about these items, so Gengo casually placed them on the table and ignored them.
Then, the first place Gengo went to was Nakano Nino's room. After all, it was only when this girl mentioned that she was here that he felt something was wrong. Nino's room had a very high school girl style and was full of cute atmosphere. The bookshelves and boxes that were set up to organize things were decorated with stickers to create a sense of consistency and fashionable color scheme. It can be seen that this person's feminine charm is surprisingly high.
But that didn't matter. Gengo put on white gloves and went straight to the window. Nakano Nino said that although the strange noises had become less frequent since they came back from their trip, they were still there, so it was something worth paying attention to.
After opening the window, Gengo leaned out, causing Kirisu Mafuyu and Nakano Ichika to hold their breath. The boy was almost entirely outside the window, supporting himself by the hand gripping the top frame. Then, Gengo reached up, pulled something from above, and returned inside. He showed the plastic bag to Nakano Ichika and said:
"This thing is clipped to the gap above. When the wind direction changes, it rubs against the window, which is why it makes a strange noise. Miss Nino, if the noise continues, you can call this number."
Gengo handed his business card to Nakano Nino, who had switched roles, and said:
"I will come back to investigate later. If it is my mistake that has caused you trouble, I will not charge you any fees."
"Well...."
Nino Nakano nodded blankly. Gengo's performance had changed her initial impression. Now, looking at him, this detective with a slightly youthful face was quite handsome.
Ok? !
Genji, who had just retrieved the hairpin from the crack in the table, silently pressed down on his left hand. He didn't know why, but he'd inexplicably wanted to slap Nakano Nino on the head. But he couldn't; she was his client, he couldn't lay a hand on her. The young man coughed lightly and looked at Nakano Nino, saying:
"Could I go and see Miku's room? She didn't say anything just now, so I don't know much from her."
"You can't just walk into a girl's room like that."
Nino Nakano crossed her arms and answered with a slight complaint, but immediately, she turned her head away helplessly and said softly:
"But since you're here to solve the problem, I'll reluctantly agree. Don't get any ideas."
Forgive my bluntness, but what could I possibly be thinking?
Gengo silently labeled Nakano Nino as 'tsundere' in his heart, and then followed her to Nakano Miku's room. To be honest, compared to Nino, Nakano Miku's room had a completely different style, full of Japanese style, with even hanging scrolls and paper door-shaped screens. It was hard to tell whether she liked tradition or thought it was cool.
Nakano Miku's room was simple and elegant, clean and tidy, so the inspection was exceptionally quick, so quick that Nakano Nino felt he was just going through the motions, simply wanting to come in and take a look, and...
Nino Nakano glanced at Miku Nakano's body on the bed. After this accident, apart from Ichika, everyone else's bodies had fallen into a deep sleep, like a vegetable. And this detective, whether he went to his own room or came to Miku's room, treated the 'body' as if he were looking at a pile of fat, and didn't seem to care as much as the plastic bag.
In reality, Gensou had already secretly checked all these rooms with 'cyclone'. He was just following his professional habit to double-check any potentially suspicious areas. Now it seemed that he hadn't found a single usable clue here.
Ugh... I have to run errands again.
278 The Beret Girl Who Turned into a Monster
Genji wasn't afraid of running errands; being a detective is all about running errands. It's just that running errands means spending more time gathering relevant information. Given the current situation with the Nakano Five Sisters, they can't use the 'library' for keyword searches, so they need to hurry.
"What's wrong, Yuanxiang?"
At this moment, Kirisu Mafuyu noticed that something was wrong with the boy's expression and couldn't help but ask. Gengo pointed to Nakano Miku's body lying on the bed and said softly:
"Why not take him to the hospital? He's just lying at home doing nothing."
"I've already gone to the hospital for a checkup, but they couldn't find anything wrong with my condition."
Nino Nakano took over and replied:
"The doctor just said to stay in the hospital for observation, but I might as well go home. Anyway, we have private doctors. The hospital is a mess, and I don't want to leave my numb body there."
"Since you're rich anyway, why not spend more money and use your connections to make things more secure? My suggestion is that you go to the hospital."
Gengo took off his gloves, looked at Nakano Miku's body, and said:
“Although you may think that it’s just a coma and nothing serious, it is actually still very dangerous. You are now five people crammed into one body. What if Miss Ichika’s body can’t take it at any time? Although I don’t know what will happen then, look here.”
Gengo picked up a small wooden stick used for decoration and lifted Nakano Miku's chin, allowing Nakano Nino and Kirisu Mafuyu to see Nakano Miku's face more clearly:
"Even though the consciousness is not in the body and the person is still asleep, they still look tired. I don't think this is a good sign."
After finishing speaking, Gengo put the wooden stick back some distance away, and then, as he walked out of the room, he said to Nakano Nino:
"I'm sure you know there are a lot of strange things happening in Fuuto. As a detective there, I've seen many supernatural phenomena. Based on my experience, this shouldn't be caused by a memory, but given the situation, it's better to be extra careful. Anyway, I understand the situation on your side."
Yuanxiang picked up his bag, leaned against the back of the sofa, and said softly:
"I will begin an investigation and try to resolve this issue. I will keep you informed of any progress I make. Okay, hmm??"
Suddenly, Genji's expression changed. He immediately pulled Kirisu Mafuyu behind him and looked warily at the person in front of him. Nakano Ichika's body emitted a dim yellow light. Under this light, the consciousness of the five Nakano sisters separated from this body, but they all flew back immediately.
"What...what's going on?"
Nakano Ichika stared blankly at her hands, clearly somewhat panicked and at a loss. Gengo shook his head helplessly and said softly:
"I'm sorry, I don't know either."
“Nakano-kun, you should tell your father about this. Your situation is really worrying. No, even if you disagree, I still have to tell Mr. Nakano that this matter is not as simple as we thought.”
Gengo didn't get involved in the matter. He simply picked up his bag, said goodbye, and left. The light he had just seen was indeed the power of 'Luna.' Gengo wanted to try to separate it to see if he could detect external interference and find clues to follow. However, to Gengo's surprise, the interference actually came from within themselves, which was quite troublesome.
Anyway... let's go check out Kyoto first.
While munching on a peach he had casually picked, Gengo organized the information he had just obtained and then decided to go to the place where the Nakano sisters had gone on vacation. After all, tourist attractions have a large flow of visitors, and many traces are easily erased.
Ok?
However, just as Yuanxiang was about to set off, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. The young man couldn't help but smile slightly, tiptoed closer, and gently patted Mingtang Huben's shoulder, saying with a smile:
