Reincarnation Monarch

"Did you notice that?"

When Gaius left the study, there was a cat but cleverly shrugged shoulder Elle waiting.

"Sort of. There can't be so many people who can prevent my lightning thunder (Jupitris). From that point of view, it follows that the unsub came after me in Lombardo, and that it was Elle who put up the defensive screen."

As Gaius walked out toward his chamber, he revealed to Elle his reasoning regarding the suspicious.

"Hmm. Not at all...... how long have you noticed?

"From the beginning. I've seen Lombardo rot in the last twelve years. I was in disguise, and I could tell right away by the unique fleshy movement of my joints."

"Why, people are still bad - did you know and keep quiet?

"Naturally, right? El, a trump card is something we keep until the end."

"Hmm. After I snuggle it up. But it's okay. Now all this case has taken shape, huh?

"Right. It was a lot to think about, but now it's over."

"As for the case?

"Yeah. I may have closed the case, but it's hard to end it later. 'Cause there were two teachers gone."

"Hmm. The case is over, and then the nail stays... something like that"

"Right. It's not just the visible nails, it's the invisible nails."

"After invisible nails..."

"Yes. I can't see it now, but one day it might manifest itself, and then those nails might be engraved in someone's heart, El."

"Trauma guy."

"Right. But all this is something no one can figure out, right? Perhaps even that person..."

"Maybe you, too?

"Well I don't think so... but people's minds are a pain in the ass, so maybe they are..."

Then Elle grinned with her mouth raised.

"You're the world's troublemaker, so maybe you are, huh?

"... it's that again... it's a singularity or a troublemaker... what the hell..."

"Well, you'll see. Anyway, there's gonna be a lot of cases around you after this."

"... seriously..."

Gaius snapped as he clenched his own door knob, which he finally reached.

"Seriously. The more you grow, the more you get involved, the bigger the vortex. I don't know what that looks like, like a typhoon looking out of the sky."

"... a typhoon. It's a total pain in the ass..."

"So would you say? You're a troublemaker."

…………

Gaius quickly slipped his own body into the room as he opened the door silently.

And as I quickly shut the door and let my face peek through just a few gaps, I said to Elle, who is in the hallway.

"I'm sorry you're a troublemaker. Oh, yah, su, mi."

Gaius shut the door at his discretion and lowered the curtain of the case.
