You are a man who is active in the world』——

No, it's the"man who traveled through time and space".

Boom... With a low sound, the Amberil, which seemed to be docking with Yiyou under the sea, shook violently.

What do you want to do? Sherlock Holmes.

Do you want to fight us head-on?

(How do you plan to cross this fire barrier?——?)

In front of the distant mountain who was thinking this, something white... flew past with the wind. In response, Izayoi also raised the temperature of the surroundings, and the thing that was shining in the firelight was like a gem, emitting light at different angles and dancing in the air.

(……Snow……?)

No, that's not right.

The thin ice that suddenly increased in number was - ice crystal dust.

Because Izayoi was the one who raised the surroundings, the ice crystal dust turned directly into snow water.

Then, with a flash, a flash... his whole body seemed to be filled with ice crystals shining in the fire... he appeared...

——Sherlock Holmes.

Everyone acknowledges that he is the best and most powerful detective in history.

The man in the retro suit is tall. He is about 1.8 meters tall. His age - for some reason, he seems to be only in his early 20s.

His hair is neatly combed back, his nose is high, his facial features are regular, but... he gives the impression of being stronger , exuding an extremely powerful aura.

Click, click, the sound of black leather shoes. Behind him as he walked towards this side, a huge group of icebergs produced by the freezing of seawater appeared on the sea surface at some point, floating like a sampan. From

the ice floes, the golden stairs that seemed to connect to the Amberil were rustling back into gold dust... The intertwined ice particles and gold dust were flying behind him as if against his glorious background. Seeing this scene, Izayoi understood. Like a chain reaction, he understood it all at once.

(……So this is ah……)

Sherlock uses Toyama Kinichi's skills——『The invisible bullet sniped Toyama Kinichi, not only using Jeanne's ice magic and Petra's alchemy, but also surviving for more than a hundred years like Willard.

Willard and Jeanne once said.

I-You is a place where super people with talents gather and copy each other's abilities.

It is something that only geniuses can do, unlimited ability sharing.

The final result should be a completed form with all their abilities.

And the completed form must be the strongest. It is the strongest existence that they are afraid of.

In other words, that is their leader - Sherlock Holmes——!

「——I have deduced that it is time to meet."

The first sound Sherlock made Izayoi's whole body cells instantly excited.

Very strong, the person in front of him is stronger than anyone Izayoi has met in this world, but this cannot be used as a reason to ignore him, and then said

「You actually don't take me seriously, be prepared, legendary detective」

「Back to the Sixteen Nights」

「You are indeed strong, but you can't defeat me.」

「What did you say?

This was the first time in this world that Izayoi was looked down upon like this.

With just one sentence, Sherlock conveyed to them the huge gap that would make everyone submit to him.

「——Excellent reasoning, infinitely close to foreknowledge. I call it"logical foreknowledge". In other words, I have foreseen everything. So Kana... no, Izayoi Sakamaki and Kinji Toyama. I can infer - what are you thinking in your mind" Sherlock said to Izayoi and the others as if he was checking answers for an exam.

Kana wanted to say something but - cough cough, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

However, Izayoi used the lip-reading technique he learned to interpret it as"It turns out that I can't hide it from you?』——

「Well, Izayoi Sakamaki and Kinji Toyama. You know me too, right? Uh, I hope you understand that I am not arrogant. After all, I have been adapted into many books and movies like a disgusting person. But the funny thing is - I can only say this to you two. Because no one can introduce me to you."

Sherlock, who was used to beating around the bush, paused.——

「——Nice to meet you. I am Sherlock Holmes."

He introduced himself.

Yes.

That's right. He is Sherlock Holmes. So you should be prepared. Even the gods in mythology would not dare to say that to him.

Izayoi said in his heart.

「"Aria"

Hearing Sherlock calling her name, Aria, who was in a daze, stood up suddenly.

And, her eyes met with her blood relative - at that moment, a feeling of exchanging thousands of words came over her.

「Times have changed, but you are still the same as before. You have kept the hairstyle inherited from the ladies of the Holmes family. I ordered your great-grandmother to do it in the beginning. Because I have deduced when you will appear."

Holmes, who was watching Aria's twin ponytails, casually approached us who were armed like a teacher facing a student.

And Toyama instinctively raised the muzzle of the Beretta slightly to point at him.

「——You must be careful.****」

Sherlock didn't look at the distant mountains, but this was obviously a warning to him.

With just this sentence, his hands seemed to be tied up and stopped.

——What's going on?

What is he?

This is the real——『Is it because he is not a descendant like us, but a real one?

「Aria, you are beautiful. And very powerful. You are a gifted girl with the best talent in the Holmes family. However, you are considered a burden to the Holmes family and are called a defective product... It must be painful when your ability is not recognized by the family. However, I can restore your reputation. I came here to make you my successor.」

「……ah……」

Aria, who was completely speechless, called out softly.

It wasn't a resistance.

It was a weak voice, as if she realized that he was talking to her again.

「Come on, Aria. As long as you feel it's okay. Come on, Aria. Even if you feel it's not okay."

Sherlock shook the long hem of his coat and stretched out his hand.
