Chapter 49 – The Disappearance of Rito Arnell
Four hours had passed since entry to the back alley was restricted due to another murder case. Around 17:00, four people who were said to be Living National Treasures were standing in front of a certain inn.
The four people were Cecia Teresia, Rin Fisenshior, Ilf Archeslia, and Misha Petra.
The girls, who had been split into two groups searching for clues about the serial killer, met up in front of the inn.
“Did you find anything?”
“No, nothing. Searching is not my specialty.”
Ilf answered Rin’s question.
“These kids could find anything either.”
Misha squatted down and stroked the small, round spirits at her feet.
Misha, a summoning magician, has contracts with approximately 5,000 spirits.
Each spirit has special skills, and the small, round spirits have a good nose and are mobile. However, even with that, they were unable to find any clues about the serial killer.
“I can’t as well. I couldn’t sense any fluctuations in the magic, maybe the killer moves at night.”
Magic, in this context, referred to the life force that everyone in the human race possessed and could convert into magic.
The fluctuations in magic represented emotional turmoil. The more disturbed one’s emotions, the less effective the restraint on magic release.
Rin, who could sense these magic fluctuations, had been relying on this to search, but there was no noticeable fluctuation in magical power. It was a dead end.
“I’m not good at searching either.”
While Rin and Misha could efficiently search in their respective specialties, Cecia, the knight, and Ilf, the healing mage, can only search on foot.
In any case, the result was nothing. The search was temporarily halted.
“There’s a nice shop I saw while searching. Let’s take Rito there.”
“Did you manage to remember a good shop while searching?”
“I mainly relied on magic sensing. I can look freely.”
After a short conversation, the four entered the inn and climbed the stairs leading to the third floor.
“By the way, Cecia-san. Did something happen when you cooled your hand?”
“N-n-n-n-n-noo~~!!”
“Something definitely happened.”
When Ilf asked Cecia as if she had just remembered, Cesia answered almost immediately and denied it while getting flustered. Misha concluded that something definitely happened.
“Seriously, you really can’t leave Rito with one of you.”
Rin said in dismay.
“Did something happen when you were alone with Rito-sama, Rin-san?”
“N-n-n-n-n-no, definitely not!”
“Something definitely happened.”
While having such a conversation, the four of them arrived at room 302. Rin opened the door of the room by channeling her magical power.
“W-we’re back.”
“We’re back.”
“We’ve returned.”
“…We’re back.”
The four of them spoke louder than usual, expecting Rio to greet them.
But Rito didn’t appear.
Rito never forgot to see them off and greet them when they return. The four of them wondered as they took off their shoes and entered the room.
“——Rito?”
Rito wasn’t in the room.
Cecia immediately checked the changing room, but he wasn’t there.
Ilf checked the bathroom, but he also wasn’t there.
Rito was not in room 302. Of the four people who noticed this, Cecia was the first to notice something strange.
“Look for Rito right now!!”
The voice was almost like a yell. The three of them trembled at the sound of Cecia’s words, and at the same time realized that it was an emergency situation.
Cecia’s line of sight was towards Rito’s shoes lined up at the edge of the entrance.
Since Rito wasn’t in the room, it was possible that he had gone out to town. In that case, it didn’t make sense that Rito’s shoes were there.
Then there was only one possibility, and that was——
The expressions of the other three girls who saw this changed instantly, and the four of them ran out of the room.
