Chapter 162: Analysis by the famous detective.

[I see~]

Although he hasn't fully understood it yet, Natsuki Subaru said that he has understood it!

After understanding this, he also wanted to hear Conan's comments on the remaining people.

Anyway, I have come to this point, and I feel itchy if I don’t finish what I want to say next.

And there are only two people left who have not been evaluated.

[What about Xia Shi and Paduo? How are they? ]

Xia Shi is a well-behaved and lovely little girl, but it must be said that precisely because she is well-behaved and sensible, her personality is the most inconspicuous among all the transferees.

Paduo is the complete opposite of Xia Shi.

Paddo has cat ears and an extra long tail, and is dressed in an unusually cool and sexy style. She is also very lively and optimistic. She looks very approachable, and she has always had a good relationship with Natsuki Subaru.

Conan straightened his face after hearing what Subaru said. [This is exactly what I wanted to tell you.]

[What? Are there any big secrets between these two people? ! ]

Some people like to save the best food for last, while others like to eat their favorite food at the beginning.

According to Subaru's understanding, the role of a detective is one that can directly give the answer, but chooses to restore the entire case early.

Not only must the murderer's motives and methods be fully stated, but the murderer must also be confronted face to face, and a verbal and managerial exchange must be carried out with the other party in order to defeat him.

——In a nutshell, all detectives love to be in the spotlight.

Therefore, Natsuki Subaru guessed that the reason why Conan deliberately listed Paduo and Xia Shi at the end was: the secrets they have are bigger than those of the previous ones!

Suzuki Sonoko: Regardless of whether the latter guess is correct or not, the former conclusion is really to the point. Right? A big mystery fanatic?

Edogawa Conan: You're so long-winded!

[That's not the case... After all, when we first discussed this topic, the ranking criteria was the people who were most likely to help you. But it's not wrong. ]

Conan said, scratching his cheek.

[Because those people in front are people who can be clearly recruited, and their combat power is known! Therefore, if we can recruit uncertain chess pieces to our side, it is also something worth being excited about... In fact, there are some other reasons. ]

【How to say? 】

[Basic qualities for a famous detective, right? I've actually been observing us transferees. I originally thought that the people who deserve the most attention are you and Rosemary.]

【I? 】

Natsuki Subaru pointed at his nose.

Subaru, who had passively accepted the fact that he was ordinary in his life for the past ten years, was a little surprised to hear that he was listed as a person who needed attention.

After being surprised, he then remembered - oh, when he came to another world, he had a plug-in called Death Return, which was not very comfortable for the user, but the effect was truly amazing.

[Like I said, you really don't act like an outsider who has traveled to this world for the first time.]

[Is it that obvious…]

Natsuki Subaru said awkwardly.

He felt that he was pretending quite well.

[So, what about now? ]

I originally thought that Rosemary and I were the most important people among the migrants, which means that this position has changed now, right?

[Natsushi and Padu - don't you find it strange? According to what you said, in the second round, Rosemary and Goblin Slayer, who clearly had telekinetic powers, were killed, but Natsushi survived to the end. And she was not simply hiding in a corner of the mansion. Judging from the fact that she wanted to rush out to save you before you were killed, she should have been hiding somewhere very close to the battlefield to observe the situation of the battle, and was confident that she could do something in the battle between the transformed Kotori and the Hunter. ]

[This is indeed true! ]

It's a very simple truth, but Natsuki Subaru had never thought of it before.

If he were put in Xia Shi's position that night, the greatest impact he could have on both sides of the battle, and also the most appropriate action for him, would probably be to quietly run away, leaving the enemy with one less head and giving his teammates one less thing to worry about.

But Xia Shi did not choose to escape.

This can certainly be explained by Xia Shi being irrational, but can an irrational child really survive the hands of a skilled and sensitive hunter?

[As for Padu - I think she must have the same secret as Xia Shi, but unfortunately, this judgment is just based on my detective intuition.]

[For now, I don't have any evidence to prove that Padu is actually a hidden master, or that she is extremely intelligent. But... yes, this is also my intuition! ]

Conan grabbed Natsuki Subaru's hand and said seriously: "If we really want to get through this crisis, then what we need to do most now is not even to let everyone talk openly, but to stop Padu from leaving the mansion tomorrow morning!"

Sue: Haha, if Paddo were here, the story might actually flow to a more favorable ending.

Padofilis: Oh, Sugo, what you said is not that great. If it was you, Subaru wouldn't have died so many times, right?

Su: I don’t think I can do better. After all, predicting the future directly in the unknown is not my strong point.

Natsuki Subaru: Is Paduo really that powerful?

Kevin: Pado is undoubtedly a member of the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser.

Although he didn't know what the Fire Moth and the Thirteen Heroes were, Natsuki Subaru in the light curtain still jumped out when Paduo wanted to say goodbye to everyone in the mansion on the second day, and forced her to stay.

There is nothing difficult about this.

At the end of the second week, Paddo had already said that because she saw that everyone was settled, she wanted to go out more and see more, and she would come back to visit everyone every now and then.

So as long as Natsuki Subaru showed reluctance and hinted in his words that the current environment made people feel uneasy, Paddy would stay.

Conan was standing in the team that was supposed to be seeing off Paddo. He saw Paddo readily agree to stay after Subaru expressed his uneasiness about the current environment, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This is the same logic as why Xia Shi chose to stay on the battlefield instead of escaping quietly in the second round.

When faced with a potentially dangerous situation, Paddo did not choose to flee or make trouble, but instead directly agreed. Doesn't this attitude implicitly indicate that Paddo believes that no matter what danger occurs, she has certain means to deal with it?

Next comes the second stage -

Conan and Natsuki Subaru looked at each other and nodded secretly. Then Conan followed the group of children to the open space to play, while Natsuki Subaru worked hard to gain the favor points of the maid sisters, and at the same time took the time to push open the door of the forbidden library.

[Drill Loli~, I'm here to see you! 】

163

Chapter 163 The lingering scent of the witch.

[What are you doing, you rude brute~. Betty doesn't remember that we are close enough for her to come to your house casually. If you have nothing to do, close the door quickly.]

[Okay, we'll close the door now.]

[You are out too, Betty! ]

The girl's sweet voice really gives people a feeling of spring breeze~

Knowing that he would be kicked out after saying this, Natsuki Subaru pretended to cough twice, then opened his hands and turned around twice. [Ah~, I just feel that this is the place that can calm my heart the most~]

[Betty, this is not a teahouse, it should not have that function - considering that you are about to cry, okay, let Betty hear what you want to say, and then leave quickly after you finish speaking.]

[Eh?! Can you tell? ]

[Of course, you think Betty has been through so many years, but she is still very young. What is in your mind? Even if you try your best to hide it on the surface, Betty can see through it at a glance.]

[How amazing! Ah! Could it be that Parker is also——]

[Brother is different from Betty. As the great spirit who controls fire, Brother can understand the shape of something as ethereal as emotions by using temperature changes. Therefore, Brother can truly read people's thoughts.]

【How scary! 】

[Kuuuuuuuuu~, you are not allowed to say bad things about my brother! ]

[Ah, okay, I know, I know! ]

Natsuki Subaru pushed his opponent forward, knowing that if he continued talking about Parker, the blonde loli in front of him would definitely go berserk and chase him out, so he calmed down and got straight to the point.

【I want to ask for your help, Beatrice! 】

[Humph~ You only call people by their names when you need to. You are no different from those guys in the past. ]

[Although I don't know who those guys you're talking about are, I think I'm different from them. Although I haven't told anyone, I actually have one, no, two super amazing secrets! ]

[One is that you are related to the Witch Cult, and the other is what? What is there to be surprised about a man like you...]

[Wait wait wait! You said I have something to do with the Witch Cult?! ]

[Ah! It’s too close! It’s too close. I’m going to fall to my death! ! ]

[Let’s put that aside for now. What do you mean by saying that I communicate with the witch? Is there any basis for that? Or is it——]

[Just stay away from Betty! ! ]

【Ohh ...

The girl, who looked no older than 10, pushed her chubby little hands forward. This shouldn't have been a problem, but the girl who looked like a girl wasn't really a girl.

It was the same feeling as the previous times when Natsuki Subaru was pushed out of the forbidden library. An invisible wind hit Subaru's limbs hard, throwing him onto the bookshelf in the forbidden library and then falling off.

Since he wasn't kicked out of the forbidden library, that means there's still room for negotiation, right?

After Natsuki Subaru struggled to get up from the ground, holding his chest, this was the first thing he thought of.

At this point, he finally realized the importance of attitude.

Since he was asking for help, Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Beatrice in a standard dogeza posture.

[I’m counting on you! Beatrice! I have no one else to turn to! ]

[…Humph. What is going on? Betty, just listen and see.]

【Would you like to help me? ! 】

Subaru looked up in surprise, but saw Beatrice with an embarrassed expression.

[I told you to listen and see Betty! ! ]

[Puff~——]

Natsuki Subaru got up from the ground again. [Why...? ]

[This is the result of your lack of manners. ]

[Okay, I will be careful with my words from now on and will not make Lady Beatrice angry or embarrassed.]

[Hmph. You finally realized how shallow you are - so, what's going on? ]

[…More than that, I want to ask, do I really have the stench of a witch? ]

Although he couldn't feel it, Natsuki Subaru was actually quite concerned about the special taste of himself that Rem described - after all, that was an important reason why he and Rem became enemies.

[The witch's stink? ... In other words, it can also be called the witch's lingering fragrance. ]

[The lingering fragrance? Isn't it a bad smell? ]

[Everyone has their own preferences. Different people have different perceptions of the same thing according to their own preferences. Just like children always dislike eating vegetables, adults know that they are an important source of nutrition to maintain their health. ]

[So, I really have that kind of thing on my body? ]

【That's it. 】

Beatrice took a sip of her tea.

[Also, the smell is very strong, much stronger than when you first came here.]

[The first time... Beatrice, do you remember what happened before?! ]

[Of course I fell to my death. It was just a day ago. Why do you think Betty would forget it? Are you teasing Betty too...]

[No, no, no, no! I didn’t mean that~]

Natsuki Subaru was a little disappointed.

It seems that Beatrice doesn't remember anything from other rounds. The reason she says that is because the smell of some witch from Natsuki Subaru this time is stronger than when he first opened the door to the Forbidden Library in the second round and met Beatrice.

「Wait~, if that’s the case──」

Is this time deeper than last time?

Knowing that Beatrice has no memories of other episodes, his visit this time should have only been two days in Beatrice's memory compared to the last time.

In just two days, Beatrice said that the simulated aura on his body suddenly became much stronger.

And in these two days, assuming that the scent of the witch is not the type that will increase dramatically over time, it means that every time he dies and returns, the scent of the witch will become stronger? !

Based on this reasoning, perhaps the reason why he and Rem were able to live in peace in the second round was not only because he chose the right way to deal with it at that time, but also because the scent of the witch on him was not as strong as in the third round.
