Chapter 12 – Information

“Rito-kun, please come back.”

I quickly returned to the room.

It would have been terrible if a female researcher had walked down the corridor. Fortunately, it didn’t happen.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Oh no, it’s totally fine!”

When I entered the room, everyone except Rin hurriedly made space on the sofa.

Misha, pretending to do the same, patted her lap, beckoning me with a ‘come here’ look. But Cecia picked her up and carried her behind the sofa.

I then sat on the sofa.

“Now, regarding the information, I ask that you keep it confidential. It’s not good news, that’s why.”

Ah, he’s not going to tell me anything about the questions. I’m quite curious.

I nodded in return and Romani-san’s expression turned serious.

“Do you know about the serial killer in the Britain Human Empire?”

It is a famous case in a very bad way.

A mass murder case in the Britain Human Empire. I think I heard that 13 people were killed.

“The victims are young males between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five. This makes it highly likely that the serial killer is a woman.”

“Wha-what does that have to do with our situation…”

Romani-san put his index finger to his mouth. There’s more to come.

“You know that when you use magic, it leaves impurities behind.”

Impurities. Even I, who can’t use magic, know that.

When using magic, the magical energy necessary for the spell remains, and that’s what we call impurity.

“But there were no impurities at the murder scene. What this means is that——”

“Don’t tell me she killed thirteen people without using magic?”

Rin interrupted and got to the point.

It is absurd to think that a woman could kill thirteen people without using magic.

“That’s very likely the case. We don’t know what kind of skills she has, but there’s a possibility that she has a unique skill.”

Of course, the probability is very low, Romani-san added.

“You didn’t ask us to come here on a quest for that, did you?”

Romani-san’s shoulders shook with a jerk.

Quests. It’s a system where countries or individuals can make requests to knights, adventurers, and many others.

A request to do something, or orders to do it. The main source of income for adventurers.

“Romani, you really…”

“Haha! Hahaha!! But there’s a possibility! Plus, Britain will owe you a favor!”

“Please add the reward for that quest to the inn we damaged earlier.”

Romani-san’s shoulders slumped, but he quickly returned to his cheerful expression.

“By the looks of it, you’re going to do it.”

The mass murders in the Britain Human Empire is an event that is causing the most uproar in the world right now.

If I can solve this problem, I would like to do so, and if there is a possibility that they have the same skill, I would like to talk to them.

It sounds pathetic, but as long as Cesia and the others are there, everything will be fine.

Above all, the victims were men aged between 16 and 25. I’ll be the only one targeted.

“Everyone okay?”

I checked with them one by one.

Cecia nodded, looking at me anxiously.

Rin nodded her head, as if she didn’t have anything in particular in mind.

Ilf smiled and acknowledged with a smile.

Misha gave a thumbs-up.

“Great! Solve this mass murder and come back safe and sound!”

With support from Romani-san, we stood up.

“Oh, and we’ll need to rent four rooms.”

“Eh!? Tha-that’s a bit much!”

“Who do you think made you the director? We’ll rent four rooms.”

“…Please don’t break the rooms.”

Even though we’ve never destroyed an inn in the Magical Nation Magia, it seems we’re already well known.

“Then. Teleport.”

Rin muttered, and a magic circle unfolded at our feet. It lit up and before we teleported away, we saw Romani-san waving at us with tears in his eyes.

I’m sorry, Romani-san. I promise we won’t destroy the rooms.
