Renkinjutsushi Desu. Jijou wa Gomibako ni Sutete Kimashita

"Duh, what's this about?!?

Listening to the noisy Helger's voice, Reyce was aware that her own unpleasant hunch was brilliant.

What spreads in front of you is the sight of massive golems crumbling unbroken even as they see it. All of them were golems made by the students in the test and were stored safely until the day before the test was conducted.

It's just that now it's destroyed without one left.

It's impossible for all the golems to break on their own, so they were definitely artificially destroyed.

I'll say briefly that I broke it all, but the effort will be inside. Whatever, dozens of iron chunks. Besides, alchemy makes it more durable.

Destroying so many golems is going to take so long, and it should be difficult for anyone to find them.

"Mr. Helger, let's just report it"

"Oh, yeah, right"

This is not just a matter for the Reis. For one thing, we should put a report in the virus and then look into it.

Having felt all melancholy in the morning, Reyce sincerely hated the killer, who would be somewhere.

Forgive me. Seriously, the killer.

Nevertheless, this is all the flashy stuff I've done. Getting caught would also be a matter of time.

- And I thought.

"Oh, is that true...?

"Oh. They don't have any witnesses."

Reyce is flabbergasted by the words the virus tells her.

The number of people in the college can't be ridiculous when combined with students, faculty. Even if the crime is late at night, there are people on guard. Is there really something that can't be seen by anyone?

Not to mention that all the golems were destroyed. The time required should be considerable, and it's not strange to have one or two humans who rush if the sound of destruction is ringing during all that time.

Even so, the fact that there are no witnesses.

"Anyway, let's check out the destroyed golem first"

The virus told me, Helger and Reis go to the destroyed golem again. It's not a dream or anything, it's a massive scatter of unchanged, torn apart golems.

Thinking that every one of them was the crystal of the students' efforts, this situation was regrettable.

The Reyes, to the side of the destroyed Golem. Look at scattered fragments, etc., and try to grasp the situation.

"Was this... magically destroyed?

"Really?

"I can't say absolutely, but this wound must be hard to put on with people's hands"

Virus' fingers peel through the golem's wounds as if torn with a sharp blade. Not very much, but human arm strength doesn't allow me to scratch this far. Well, maybe it's possible if you're a raffy-level person.

Though I have no idea why such a powerful man would destroy the Golem.

"The motive is unknown..."

Whoever the killer is, why destroy a golem just made of tests. What does that mean? I don't know anything.

I look around at the remains of the golem to see if there's any other clue. Every golem had a scar that was uniformly torn with a blade.

"Hmm...?

The virus frowned as she dropped her hips and was carefully examining the golem. His gaze was directed at the demonic stone embedded in the thorax of the Golem. Its faded demonic stone is cracked and tells us that it is impossible to repair.

"The magic is gone...?

A virus that at a glance understood the state of the demon stone.

Probably self-destructed because I don't have the magic to dwell in the Demon Stone at all.

But demon stones don't naturally end up like this. Even if the magic runs out, the magic will remain just to maintain its shape.

Magic for Demon Stone is equal to blood for man. If you lose too much, it can be deadly.

This means that the magic of the Demon Stone was used to its limits by someone who destroyed the Golem. The question remains as to what the hell you used it for.

Even after checking the other golems, they remained similarly demonic stones self-destructed. At least, it would be certain that one of the killer's purposes was magic.

Nevertheless, humans are more or less born with magic. No one wants magic until they take such a risk.

"... let's just say we increase the number of guards. Classes will start, and we'll be back for more research."

By virtue of that word of the virus, the investigation is closed once. The warehouse where the golem was kept was off-limits. It is also necessary to preserve the site.

I get kicked out with my doubts left, and as usual, I get ready for class. But my head was full of sights earlier, and I never got into class.

"Ha, what's all that noise?"

When I got home, Rais told Lulimes about the golem. I still have a bad feeling. There are still too many cases going on.

"I don't know because I'm not very familiar with magic, but the truth is, do you ever need that much magic?

"... um, I don't think it's rare that the magic that was embedded in the demon stone is taken away from me. At the end of the day, if we don't have somewhere to store the magic we took, we'll have to use it on the spot."

We're talking about where the magic that took it from the Demon Stone is going. Did you use magic for magic or something on the spot, or did you keep the magic and take it away?

"But if you're going to keep the magic, you're going to need the Demon Stone either way. Then it's quicker to pluck the demon stone directly without bothering to take the magic away from it. Doesn't that mean I've probably already used magic... but there were traces of it?

I can't have magic sensing on Reyce, who's not a magician, but the viruses and helgars that were there would be different. But I don't remember them saying that.

They took the magic from all those demonic stones and used it. He said there should be some kind of trace left.

"I don't think there was anything"

"Hmmm... then I was wondering if I could even tell"

"Right..."

Even a magically savvy lulimes means you'll never know at this stage in Reyes. We will have to wait for the investigation to proceed and for some other useful information to emerge.

You're a pain in the ass.

Reis sighs and takes to the room where he stores his previously made golem. I just saw the golem and I know it doesn't make sense, but it's just right to distract the anxiety in my chest.

I opened the door, and it's been a long time since I've seen you face to face.

"-... Huh?"

Before I opened the door, there was nothing.

There is no appearance of a golem that should be there, only organized materials lined up.

Reyce rushes out of the room and back to where Lulimes is.

"Master! What about the golem I made before!?

Open the door with so much momentum that the battan and the noise will ring.

Lucimes, who was relaxed, shook his shoulders, as his apprentice, who had left the room earlier on, returned with tremendous momentum.

"To? What? I don't know. Okay, I haven't been to see it since. Something's wrong... Ray!

Without listening to Lulimes until the end, Reis went to Rotier's room upstairs. A violent knock on the door returns a sleepy voice from inside. With all due respect, Reyce hastily opened the door.

"Rotier, didn't you see the golem in the workshop!?

"... golem?... I don't know."

"Huh, what's going on in such a hurry?"

Rotier and Mimi are rubbing their eyes like they were all asleep. I'm sorry I'm swallowing, but Reis is in the worst mood.

"Oh, shit...... just come on"

Rotier and Mimi, looking at each other strangely, tilted their little necks in alignment.
