Reincarnation Monarch

"You wouldn't know because you wouldn't be interested, but actually, they say all places in this school are non-smoking."

Shester smiled and said so, adding to the words.

But the problem is, it's only recently that it's happened.

"... I see... is that what you mean..."

Gaius said as he nodded in small pieces over and over again.

"Oh, that means I could smoke in the staff room until recently. But now I can't smoke... I think I know, but tobacco is addictive and not so easy to stop."

"So someone in the teacher could have been hiding here and smoking?

"Yes. Only, maybe... So we don't know if the cigarette butt belongs to the killer at the moment."

"Are you interviewing the teachers?

"No, I already asked the police."

"That's just how fast you work"

"No, what..."

Then a young police officer jumped inside the equipment storage area in a really agile move there.

"Excuse me! Will Councillor Helmut Shester be here?

The police officer said aloud as he gazed into the dim room from the entrance with a tense face, passing really well.

"I'm here. Just report it from there."

Shester has sometimes brought Gaius to the murder scene and ordered police officers to report from near the entrance to avoid any trouble.

"Ha! I'll report you now! We have checked with all faculty and clerks! No one has ever smoked in this equipment storage area! That's it!

"Okay. Thank you. Anything else, please."

"Ha! Now if you'll excuse me!

The police officer rushed out like a rabbit, saying, and walked away.

"... let's see"

Shester gently pressed one eye and smiled at Gaius.

Gaius looked at it and smiled as well, saying:

"Then that's settled. The owner of this cigarette butt... said it was the killer."

"Oh, unless the victim smoked it"

"The victim? A piece of clothing before they kill you......?

"No, I don't know. The possibility is not zero. It's more about keeping it in a corner of your head than not zero. Otherwise, if that's the case, sometimes you can't keep your head on and panic."

"I see... that's true. I'll keep it in a corner of my head until the possibility of the victim smoking is completely gone."

"Oh, do that. It is only then that we decide that it belongs to the killer. Nevertheless, it is also true that it is most likely to belong to the killer at the moment."

"Yes, then let's say we discuss it on that line"

"Oh, let's do that. And you're really smart."

"Not really."

"There is no humility. I have served your father for many years, but when I see him, he's pretty bloody young. I often acted recklessly and said and done things. Compared to that, you were... twelve? It's a little surprising how young you are to be calm."

"Oh, no, that, thank you very much..."

Gaius responded in a bit of a hurry.

(You have to be a little more childish... I wouldn't be bothered at all...)

Gaius was so blurry inside.
