Genius Scammers Want an Easy Life After Reincarnation

About five minutes have passed since we were told our true purpose.

Micah stopped her gaze at one point and closed her eyes as if she were recalling something.

That tea set belonged to Anna after all.

"... it's really strange, it's like you're seeing through your heart"

Hah, Micah sighs and stretches her arms high.

"I haven't seen Anna in a long time. I'm sure she won't be here today, but just go in front of the room."

Mika looks at me like that and walks out into the hallway. [M]

Come on, that's what this is all about.

Let's go, Risha.

"... thank you."

Huh?

Turning to Risha, who thanked him unexpectedly, there was no one there.

When I thought about it, it was after I was held by my hand and pulled forward.

Eventually we will visit the corner of the second floor.

The number assigned to the front room is Room 207.

It can be seen from the floor and the door that this room has not been used for a while.

I tried to pull my hand on the knob, but the door was locked as a matter of course.

"So, what do we do?

Mika says.

Speaking of which, since there was an administrator, there was also a way to contact Anna's associates pretending to be involved and get them inside again.

But let's make it a last resort.

"Risha, can this key be opened by magic?

"It is difficult to open it. These keys are magically machined to prevent interference."

Well, is it unique to a world where magic is popular?

"I mean, if it's not magic, it's possible?

"Oh, yes. You can magically destroy the door itself or physically kick it down..." What are you doing?

I heard a good thing.

If it was a magic device to the key, I would have raised it.

I fold the hairpin I was wearing and stick it in the keyhole.

I didn't think the props I was using to make it look like a little girl would be useful here.

"If only I knew how these prehistoric Ward locks work - look, they opened up."

The pin turns with a loud noise.

Okay, I'm coming in, Risha.

"... logic"

Yeah?

Lisa looked at us with a worried face.

Next door was Mika, who was surprisingly open.

"Never misuse that skill."

"I won't...."

Probably.

Probably.

"Oh, yeah. What about Mika?

"Eh, me?

"Now is the time to turn back. If you come in with us, it's the same as if you missed us, so you won't be able to escape when things go wrong."

"That's...."

"I don't want to bother you. That's why I want you to turn back here."

It doesn't matter if the outsider was only fooled into getting inside.

It would be possible to escape even if we showed him to the room and if we arrived on our own initiative.

However, it is not strange to assume that you have acquiesced in the unauthorized unlocking and have abandoned your duties even if you enter with us.

Worst of all, you could get fired and punished.

"... okay, I'll do what you say."

That's fine.

I just wanted you to avoid being driven by a strange sense of justice and destroying yourself.

"Ah, but, uh... look, it's just a woman's room..."

"I take care of it. As long as it's not too much, there's Lisa around."

"Yes, leave it to me!

Leaving Mika nodding on the spot, Risha and I entered the room together.

The room is very hot and humid because it has been closed for a long time.

Even though it smells dusty, it doesn't smell particularly strange, so it seems that the worst development that has already been done somewhere in the room was avoided.

Or if so, have you discovered it sooner?

Risha, look at this.

It's a maid's shoe.

It's a regular black leather shoe with no freaks.

"There are signs of wear from the way the heel decreases. But it's still pretty enough to be worn normally because it's well maintained. And yet, this is here..."

"Are you saying you're not at work?

"Yes, and I see another possibility."

Continue to lead Risha as we go inside.

The first thing I saw was the kitchen.

If there is no garbage, there are no dishes to wash.

I only have a maid and I seem to have cleaned up my living space properly.

Just in case.

There is dust piling up on the faucet.

No signs of use.

"Rosie, the toilet is beautiful except for the dust."

Copy that. Next.

Continue to the back of the room.

There were beds, desks and chairs in a room of about seven tatami mats, and a look and closet by the side.

The curtains are closed and dim.

Apart from being dusty, it is well organized and gives a very nominal impression.

"Risha needs a closet, I need a desk."

"I understand."

"Ah, see if there's anything funny about how to fold or fold clothes."

Investigate the room separately.

Well, I hope it does. [M]

On the desk are pen stands and inks, magic tools like desklights, and paper weights.

The tip of the pen... oops, you're pretty used to it.

I think I can expect this.

Open the first drawer on the desk.

There were stools, envelopes, wax and strings.

……

There is nothing in the second drawer.

The same applies to the third stage.

And there was a wooden box in the fourth stage.

The contents are a large number of letters.

Most of the people in the city where the orphanage was located were the administrators of the orphanage and the children there.

And I'm going to find an envelope in my hand. [M]

The texture and feel of the paper are obviously different from others.

Turn around and look at the sender.

"Found..."

Was it a coincidence or was it deliberately left behind?

Either way is fine at this time.

I sneaked out one of them and put it in the bag and put the crate back in the drawer as if nothing had happened. [M]
