[Also, there is no magic reaction this time either. ]

"There are no traces of the dead." Li Xiang added after Roman, clutching his forehead, "It seems to have appeared out of thin air."

"...Maybe it just appeared out of thin air?" The Second King said at this time, "After all, that guy disappeared out of thin air."

"Then, the principle of disappearing into thin air... No, if you get caught up in thinking about the principle, it will be endless, and the most important thing now is that, right? Motivation. That is——"

——Spring Heeled Jack, why do you want to kill people?

15. They sneaked in

■Probably won't come to the bar for the second time

In order to find the truth about the serial murders, it is necessary to solve the mystery left by the "rumor" named Spring Heeled Jack.

...This statement is slightly wrong.

Rather than a puzzle left by Spring Heeled Jack, the rumor is the puzzle itself.

In order to get the [motivation] of the rumored serial murder case, Lixiang and his party came to the bar that the former victim, the lady, told him about before his death.

This is the last [different place] where the victim was alive, and the place where her fate changed—the bar that was [unremarkable] in the victim's description, but now has a very exaggerated decoration on the door.

In short, it is the kind of exaggerated decoration like if anyone doesn't know that the city management committee has come here to drink.A common publicity strategy, but nothing unusual.

The police officers of Scotland Yard may have encountered such a case for the first time, so they panicked, right?Or maybe even this anomalous 1888 is a bit too difficult to collect biographical data.The information on the past victims they gave was really not detailed enough. With those information, the only thing you can investigate is the vicinity of the place where the victim died.

This time, however, Miss Victim was different.Kai's eloquence made his relationship with Miss Victim develop to the point that Miss Victim would confide in him about her psychological shadows, so everyone knew about Miss Victim and could conduct further investigations.

"Hey, Master, don't make me sound like a cowherd."

"But this time I want you to be a cowherd."

Standing on the street opposite the bar, Li Xiang said without looking back.

Our investigation plan this time is [In short, first investigate the places that the victim visited most often before she was alive], in other words, the workplace where the victim held four jobs at the same time.

However, after all, the victim lady finally quit all her jobs outside the bar, so everyone came to investigate this bar first.

"In short, the plan is like this. According to my understanding, whether it is a melancholy old man with heavy wishes or a handsome knight who is flamboyant on the surface but is actually serious, women are very popular, so—"

Lixiang pointed to the bar opposite, and looked at Nishi and Kai who showed an expression of "not like this".

"You go in and spend, and try to use all your masculinity as customers to get some information. Then, our girls team will try to sneak in from behind the bar to get some news, and that's it."

"What do you mean? That's it! Sir Kai is fine, but he asked me to go to that kind of place for consumption and ask for information?!"

"Hey! Magician, tell me clearly, what does [Sir Kay forget it] mean?!"

"This is a necessary sacrifice! That's it!"

With that said, Lixiang took out the spare personal terminal and handed it to the Second King.

"We'll rely on Chaldea's technology for communication, so let's infiltrate anyway."

Li Xiang turned her head and walked to the back of the bar, while Gray hesitated for a while and then encouraged the second generation: "Master's words are all right, come on."

"Pfft ha ha ha, after all, it is the top five in the lover list, come on, teacher."

"...No, even if you encourage me in this way at this time... and Yade, you wait for me."

Originally, Mash should have followed Lixiang immediately, but an impulse kept her at the end.Driven by that impulse, Matthew looked at Kai.

"Aren't you good at this? Kai. If you don't know how to do it, it's a bit humiliating, but just imitate Breadcrumb Lott."

After saying this, Matthew quickly turned around and caught up with Lixiang who had stopped to wait for her.And Fufu also said "Fufu" to Kai a few times and waved her little paw at the same time as Matthew turned around.

Watching this scene, Kai showed a smile that might not be considered a smile with a slightly twitching corner of his mouth.

"...Don't think I didn't know it was you just now, Galahad. By the way, who wants to imitate Lancelot, I have different hobbies from him."

Second's hand paused.

He didn't say anything, but in the next moment he smoked the cigar with the suction power of a servant. It seems that he was quite shocked.

■Search in progress・Men's team

Although they are complaining, the arrangement of Nishi and Kai to clear Lixiang is correct.Even from selfish considerations, the two of them didn't think that the three girls who looked like loli girl groups should be asked to collect information as customers.

And if you want to collect information, then it is necessary.

Even though there is such a thing as hint magic, the hint effect of getting the second of the Servant Saint Graph is not bad at all.But hinting is not a panacea, [in short, enter the store as a customer first] This approach is indeed necessary.

However, Nishi and Kay had their first problem immediately after walking into the bar.

"Sorry, could you repeat that, please?"

Hearing what the counter clerk said, Nishi, who couldn't react for a while, asked back,

"How much do you say a cup of black tea?"

"It is ■■■, sir."

The clerk smiled, and took the trouble to tell the price again that was so terrible that if it was described in words, it would need to be stamped

"But, it's just a cup of black tea that can be bought in any coffee shop for less than a cigarette?"

Although the Second King is a magician and a monarch, he is also very rich because he has received many commissions at this singularity.However, Nisei is sensitive to waste due to his huge debt.

He is really concerned now, why this cup of black tea can be sold so expensive.

"You have a point, sir. But our pub is one that even members of the City Council have patronized."

"Then will you let me be entertained by the man who entertained the commissioners?"

"...I'm sorry, sir. That person is not in the bar now, but please trust the ability of the other staff in the store."

"Don't worry about the little money, director. We've made a lot of money, haven't we?"

At this moment, Kai came up and held the second emperor's shoulders, and said so in a slightly exaggerated but not artificial tone.At the same time, he smiled apologetically at the girl at the front desk, making the face of that receptionist turn red.

——In short, the story that happened afterwards is like some ancient romance film, so I won’t describe it in detail here.

However, when they left the front desk and sat down, Kai and II still noticed some [problems].

"...The trick of imitating Lancelot is really useful, hey, Galahad."

Just as Kay muttered these words and Nishi left the front desk, their Servant-level hearing heard the whispers from the front desk.

"Tsk, why did you come here looking for that damned name again? I got carried away after being promoted, and [I was targeted by Spring Heeled Jack], that kind of joking excuse for asking for leave, why is she not me who gets rich? ?!"

■The search is in progress · Women's team

Unlike the men's group who spent money to enter the venue openly, the girls' group was responsible for collecting information by "sneaking into hotels".

After all, there is no reason to let a few underage girls go to the bar and chat with them.

——Besides, Tatsuka is also from the church anyway.

Although she is considered a half reckless, she still has some experience in sneaking into this kind of thing.

"...Speaking of which, Grey, are you an assassin, right? What level is your breath blocking?"

Before sneaking in, Lixiang asked casually.

Gray lowered her head and gave an answer she hadn't expected at all.

"I... have no breath blocking."

"...That's not why the job agency chooses assassin!"

"That...my solo is an A+"

"Going to be an archer..."

"Isn't Archer good at bows and arrows? I haven't learned how to use long-range weapons."

——This kid is really straightforward.

"Hey! Those little girls over there! What are you doing here?!"

There are two guards at the back of the hotel.One of the guards saw the three of Lixiang coming over at a glance, so he sternly reprimanded,

"This is not the place for little girls to come!"

Li Xiang thought for a while, she turned her head and nodded to Matthew, and then walked towards the loudly shouted guard.

"May God bless you, kind stranger. I'm lost. Do you know where the nearest church is?"

While saying this, Tachika took out a map.

"Nuns?! Why are there nuns here--bring me the map, and I'll show you."

"You are such a kind man."

With that said, Lixiang handed over the map and made a prayer gesture to him.

"The church is... eh? What are you doing?"

"I am praying for you and for what you are going to suffer."

"Misery? What's that—"

The next moment, a pink fist pierced through the map and landed on the guard's abdomen.Guard No. [-] only felt a sharp pain run through his body, and then just lost consciousness.

Guard No. [-] was startled, he subconsciously wanted to shout.But he didn't notice that behind him was a purple figure with a shield raised and glowing eyes.

boom.

The No. [-] guard also lost consciousness. Lixiang and Matthew gave a high-five for this perfect cooperation, only Gray was a little dumbfounded.

"They, here, you—"

"Don't worry, Grey. It's a must for a proxy to stun people without killing them."

"Don't worry, Miss Grey, I use the shield back."

"But aren't we going to sneak in? And where is the shield back?"

"The back of the shield is the back of the shield!"

Matthew replied bluntly, and at the same time Lixiang carefully placed the two unconscious people as if they were taking a nap by the door.

"They're unconscious, right? All you need to do to infiltrate is get to your destination without being noticed?"

As he spoke, Lixiang gently patted the faces of the unconscious guards.

They lost consciousness completely and did not respond to being photographed twice.

"Look, they don't notice us, do they?"

Gray blinked and blinked and blinked and blinked.Still unable to figure out what she should say at this time, she brought up the cage containing Yade and decided to ask her friend for help.

"Yade?"

"...It really makes sense, 100 points, you guys."

——Yard gave up thinking.

All in all, they sneak in.

16. They searched

■The search is in progress · Women's team

——The girls sneaked in.

Although the way to enter the door is to stun the guard, but as a candidate for the burial agency, Li Xiang does have experience in sneaking in.

A way to wander through buildings without being detected, a way to get around the blind spot of a monitor.A way to enter the magic workshop without triggering the magic barrier, and a way to avoid being discovered by dead disciples with super senses and superpowers.

In short, although she is not an expert in sneaking, the girl does know how to sneak in.The reason why the brutal method of directly knocking down the guard when entering the door is only because of the urgent time.

—Really, you have to believe her.

Relying on their physical abilities far surpassing that of ordinary humans, the girls walked through the bar in a slightly cumbersome but concealed way like walking through a vertical maze. .In the process, they are also collecting different intelligence in various ways.

"Did you see that guest? It's the knight-like, funny and handsome guest."

"I prefer the other type, it feels like a traditional gentleman."

"Ah, it really looks like a gentleman. It looks like a new generation, but it's very mature."

In the process, they inadvertently collected such insignificant information. It seems that II and Kai have done a good job.
