"Hey? That...no...it's not like this...why would I...uah..."

Then Origami woke up from a sleepwalking state.

【I... what the hell did I do! 】

When she came back to her senses, Origami found that she had fallen into a situation beyond redemption. She blushed and frantically tried to explain something, but found that she couldn't explain anything.

"Why...why is this happening!"

Finally, the cry of the girl echoed in the cake shop.

Chapter 7 The Twelve Suspects

Time travels back to before Mei and Origami entered the bakery.

"Shidou."

For some reason, Kotori suddenly put on a serious look and stared at Shidou.

"What's wrong?"

he asked.

"Give you this."

What Kotori handed him was a white envelope without any information or stamps, and it should have been thrown directly into Wuhe's mailbox.

"Is this a letter?"

Shidou weighed it up, and although it wasn't heavy, it had a certain weight.

"Well, a love letter from Seven Sins. I originally planned to wait for my life to come back and discuss it together. But it seems that she won't be able to come back for a while."

Qin Li said.Calculate the time, if you haven't come back now, probably just eat something, take a rest, and then start shopping for the second week.

Hearing Kotori's words, Shidou opened his eyes wide.On the front of the envelope was written "Accepted by Mr. Five Rivers". He turned the envelope to the back and wrote the names of Seven Sins under the wax-sealed mouth.

"This was in the mailbox this morning."

Qin Li said.

"So what Kotori wanted to tell Yakumo-senpai earlier was..."

Shidou somewhat understood what Kotori was going to say to Ming earlier.

Although it was a big deal, he also understood why Kotori gave up his life to go shopping instead of discussing it with them—after all, the purpose of Ratatoskr is the happiness of elves.

As the commander, Kotori didn't want to mess up Miki's planned plan because of this incident.

"Anyway, let's open it and have a look. The letter has been checked on Fraxinus, and there is no danger."

Qin Li said.Before, because I was worried that there might be corrosion or explosive items in the envelope, I also did a special inspection.

Opening the envelope, the two found a stack of photos and a card inside.

"this is me?"

Kotori frowned, and found that her own photo was also in it.

"Let me see……"

Shidou placed the photos on the table one by one, the characters in them are:

Tohka, Ming, Yoshino, Kotoli, Yejuya, Yuxian.

Miku, Ai, Mai, Mii, Kozu, Tonomachi.

All of these were secretly photographed without my knowledge.

"And this card is..."

After looking at the photos, Shidou, who didn't understand what Nanatsui wanted to do, picked up the card in the envelope.There are a few lines written on it:

[I'm right here.

Can you guess which one is me?

Before everyone disappears from this world.

seven sins】

"What does it mean?"

Shidou asked anxiously.

"According to the literal understanding, it means that Seven Sins pretended to be one of these twelve people, right?"

Kotori bit the Pearl Pearl in displeasure.A few days ago, they had already seen the camouflage ability of the Seven Sins. If the other party really pretended to be one of them, it would not be a funny thing.especially……

"Before everyone disappears..."

That was an overly disturbing sentence, Shidou thought for a while, picked up his cell phone and dialed the fatal number.If the Seven Sins really "disappears" the person in the photo, Ming's reasoning ability is necessary, not to mention that the girl herself is also one of the targets.

"Wait a moment!"

However, at this moment, Kotori quickly snatched Shidou's cell phone, and then pressed the end button.

"What... what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Shidou, are you looking for your life to help?"

Qin Li said angrily.

"Ah."

Shidou nodded, although he and Kotori have no idea at the moment, but Shidou believes that if he is careful, he will definitely be able to notice something.

"Are you pretending to be a tide bug? Ming is also one of the 12 people. If the person Nanami is pretending to be is Ming, then Shidou will be completely led by the nose, right?"

Qin Li said helplessly.The most subtle point right now is that everyone in the photo is the target of the seven crimes and is also one of the biggest suspects.

That's right, even...

"In that case, Kotori, you too..."

After understanding Kotori's thoughts, Shidou used the wrong excuse to make a mistake when Hiroki called back.But according to Kotori's way of thinking...

"Although I have said so much, maybe I am the Seven Sins."

Kotori sighed and took out the phone.

"Hello, Lingyin? Yes, it's me, please come."

--split line--

October 22nd, Sunday, the day after Shidou received the letter from Nanakin.

Kotori found Ling Yin yesterday, and after discussing with the three of them, they roughly decided on the future plan.

Before finding out the Seven Sins, Kotori cannot board Fraxinus, the reason is the same as before, if the current Kotori is a change of the Seven Sins, boarding the air ship that can be regarded as the lifeline of the center, the consequences will be devastating .

Similarly, you can't seek Ming's help in this matter. Once Seven Sins pretends to be Ming, everyone's thinking will be led into the ditch by her.

On this basis, the crew of Fraxinus will search for the hostages taken by the Seven Sins—since the Seven Sins have changed into one of them, then one must have been taken.

And Ling Yin will also use the spiritual power observation device to confirm the spiritual power values ​​of the twelve people. If the spiritual power of the seven sins is observed, it will be the best evidence.

As for Shidou, his mission is...

"Shidou!"

Seeing Tohka running from the elf apartment, Shidou sighed helplessly.This morning, he was going on a date with Tohka.

That's right, Shidou's task is to date these 12 people separately, and determine whether there is anything suspicious about them through dating, so as to find out the traces of Seven Sins.

So, the first date is Tohka.

There was nothing wrong with the dating process, Tohka was still Tohka, even if she specifically asked about some things that happened before meeting Seven Sins, the girl answered fluently.

The only thing that made people break out in a cold sweat was when he brought Tohka into the cafeteria, the girl only ate a little food and stopped eating.

At that time, I almost thought that this was the evidence that Nanami was pretending to be Tohka, but in the end, I found out that it was just because Tohka saw something similar to [Girls who can eat more than boys are really unbearable] on the TV program yesterday. It's just a statement.

After assuring Tohka that she likes girls who can eat a lot of food energetically, Tohka resumes her usual appetite.

In short, Tohka-Clear.

At 3:15 in the afternoon, the doorbell rang outside, and at the same time Shidou opened the door, a strange shadow came in through the crack of the door.

"Wow!"

He was startled, and the mobile phone he was holding in his hand came out and slid towards the weird shadow.

【Shidou-kun, really, it was so dangerous just now. 】

Shadow dodged the flying mobile phone, crossed his two little hands together, and said angrily.

Upon closer inspection, it was a rabbit doll dressed as Frankenstein—Yoshina.

[I see, is the second date Yoshino? 】

When he opened the door, Shidou saw Yoshino dressed as a Halloween witch.And... standing behind Yoshino, with a cake box in his hand.

Chapter 8 The Game of the Seven Sins

"Wait a minute, what's going on, why is Yakumo-senpai here?"

Shidou said anxiously into the earphone.

【Sorry, this was my mistake. Originally, Yoshino wanted to feel the Halloween atmosphere, so she happened to come to Shen's house.Unexpectedly, fate also came. 】

Lingyin replied.After Tohka passed away, the next scheduled date was Yoshino, but unfortunately, no one expected Ming to come to Wuhe's house just at this time.

"What should I do in this case?"

Shidou said in distress.

【In short, let's find out about Yoshino's situation according to the original plan.Also, you need to be careful when talking, and don't forget that you are there. 】

"what……"

Turning around, Shidou saw that he was looking at his own life with a puzzled face.Maybe the act of talking into the earphones has fallen into the eyes of the girl.

"Shidou, what's wrong?"

asked fate.

"No...it's nothing. Come in first."

Shidou pulled himself together and called the two of them into the room.

"Yakumo-senpai, what's the matter?"

Shidou didn't know the purpose of the order, so he asked.

"I bought a delicious honey cake at the cake shop yesterday. I should have brought it over at that time. Shidou said something happened, so I changed it to today."

Ming put the cake on the table, and after opening the carton, the aroma of honey wafted out.

"Ah, it's not Halloween candy, but it's very sweet, Yoshino, come and try it too?"

"Uh-huh……"

Looking at the attractively colored cake, Yoshino nodded slightly.

"I'll go get some plates, Shidou will accompany Yoshino first."

Shidou walked into the kitchen, looking for the knife and fork and the plates used to cut the cake, while Shidou sat next to Yoshino.

"Speaking of food, when Yoshino came to my house for the first time...by the way, what did I do then?"

Since it was necessary to confirm whether Yoshino was Nanakin in disguise, Shidou tried to ask without any trace.

"I remember... At that time, I made... parent-child rice bowl..."

Yoshino and Yoshino looked at each other, and then replied in a low voice.

【correct. 】

Hearing Yoshino's words, Shidou heaved a sigh of relief.
