Chapter Thirteen, Expedition Team

Back in his room, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked obviously disappointed. Akuko turned over, got up from the sofa, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Didn't you see? There was a murder."

Yagi responded a little unpleasantly.

"Never mind my business, whatever happens to humans is fine."

"It's not a human being, it's Joan of Arc."

Yagi Xuezai sighed.

"???Isn't that the same as human beings?"

Akuko asked back strangely, and Yagi didn't know how to respond for a moment...Yes, Jeanne is not a human, isn't she? She doesn't wear a mask either.

Yagi Xuezai looked at the furnishings in the room and saw that the dishes on the table had changed.

This shows that half a day has passed and it is afternoon. What is on the table is not the remnants of breakfast but the remnants of lunch.

This unique point is obviously very strange.

And the person who understands this best...as expected, should be Tamamo-mae.

"Fujimaru, let's go to Tamamo and ask about the situation first. After all, she was the one who transformed this place into Tamamo-chan's love apartment."

"Yes, agreed."

"Then, I'll go look for it and see if I can find the list of tenants here. Tsk, at this time... it would be nice if he was here."

"he?"

Yagi Xuezhai heard the regret and nostalgia in her tone and asked.

"You don't have to worry about it. I'll try my best. You can just go to the other side."

Yagi nodded, just in time, he also wanted to test this.

Since [every behavior will be judged to advance time for half a day] - considering 24 hours a day, it should be said that every behavior will advance time by 8 hours - then, if we divide the people into two teams to explore, will there be any effect?

What's the difference?

Should they be added up and counted as 16 hours? Or should each be counted separately and a total of eight hours have been advanced?

These are all things that must be clarified. Yagi vaguely felt that this singularity was a huge trap.

Just think of that inexplicable prison before.

Prison...

Are we imprisoned in this small hotel?

With this thought in mind, Yagi took Fujimaru Ritsuka to find Tamamo-mae.

——————————————

"I don't know, I don't know... Xiao Tamamo doesn't know..."

The landlady stayed at the door, looking up blankly at the night sky, holding a broom in her hand. She was cleaning the door absentmindedly, until Yagi came over, and her droopy ears were tied up.

Faced with Yagi's question, Tamamoae expressed that he had no idea at all.

This is not a lie.

Why did Tamamo Mae choose this place?

Because there is a very strong smell of spiral here, there is quite a bit of magic here.

It must be noted that no matter how gentle she appears, Tamamo-mae is always a youkai who appears as an enemy of human beings. Her attributes are also evil, so she naturally prefers this kind of place with a bit of evil.

This evil spirit will make her feel very comfortable.

When we found this place, Tamamo Mae had only renovated it according to the structure of the apartment.

"This place originally had the effect of collecting dead people on a magical level. As a result, Tamamo-chan transformed it into a place that [inspires love]."

"Please don't make it sound like it's as easy as changing the answer with an eraser... As a former magician, I feel a lot of pressure."

Yagi Xuezai sighed, feeling deeply powerless.

"Anyway, I don't know why this place turned into a prison-like prison that cannot be transferred out, Tamamo-chan! Please believe me, Master..."

Kotamamo looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka pitifully, and even forgot to mention Mikon, who has a bad mouth.

"Well, I think the boss lady is not a bad person."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also contributed.

"No, I'm not saying that she is a bad person. I think that since she is the builder here, she should know the structure of this place. For example, can she spy on who killed Joan of Arc at the time of the crime?

.”

"It can't be done... After all, this is not my position, Tamamo-chan. I just modified the original effect... Why on earth did it become like this?"

Have you been taken advantage of...

So, the information that can be obtained from the landlady is...wait?

"By the way, I have another question. Professor M, no, when did the old butler James come here?"

"Ah, he was originally the owner of this apartment."

Tamamo nods and says so.

"He transferred the apartment to me."

"I see. I understand. Thank you for your cooperation."

Sure enough, what happened this time has nothing to do with that old man...

Yagi Xuezai thought so, but... even if the suspect is identified... there is still the most important point...

(Method. How did this old man kill Jeanne d'Arc quietly and prevent him from transforming into a spirit child? Once the servant is injured to a fatal degree, he will definitely turn into a spirit child... Why can he still keep the body?

...This mystery must also be solved.)

But before that, Yagi Xuesai sighed, knowing deeply that once he left the door, time would definitely advance half a day, and it would be bedtime.

Sure enough, as soon as Yagi walked in the door, Tamamo Mae immediately urged Yagi and others to go back to the room with a lot of delicious food.

This is really...a subtle setting that makes people don't know what to say.

"Come back so soon?"

Akuko was still lying on the sofa. When she saw Yagi and Fujimaru coming back, she was extremely surprised: "You have only been out for a few minutes, right?"

"Yeah, but can you believe it, we've been out for eight hours."

Yagi Xuezhai shrugged and curled his lips.

Two Ceremonies also came back, with their heads lowered and an A4-sized list in their hands.

Yagi thought she was so efficient and had already investigated. He went over to take a look and found that most of the list was blank, with only one household on the second floor marked...

Yagi sighed and said, "Did you visit a family and rush back right away?"

Both of them were itching with hatred: "It's really annoying. Why do you have to drive me back?"

In this way, forced by unknown forces, everyone gathered in Fujimaru Ritsuka's apartment again.

The dinner prepared by Tamamo Mae today was as gorgeous and delicious as ever, but after witnessing the murder just now, Fujimaru Ritsuka really couldn't eat it.

"Go lie down for a while. I'll go out for a walk."

Yagi Sekssai smiled and patted Fujimaru Ritsuka on the shoulder.

At the same time, he built a communication channel in his heart: [Fujimaru, if there is danger, don’t be stingy with the command spell and call me directly. 】

【Understood.】

After giving instructions to Fujimaru Ritsuka, Yagi Yukisai called Mordred next door, and the two of them went to the underground garage again.

The purpose, of course, is to investigate the body again.

It's not that you can't trust the detective who calls himself Sherlock Holmes, but there are some things that you should investigate on your own.

Joan of Arc's body was still lying on the same spot. Because there was no place to put the body, the bathing place could only be closed temporarily and a white cloth was spread over Joan of Arc's body.

The two of them walked down the steps, but they didn't notice that at the door behind them, a figure nodded and looked at the two of them walking down, showing a satisfied smile.
