Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

10. Who is the dead

■Strangle Road

[Isn't that the Monarch of the Clock Tower? ! ]

Roman shouted in surprise, and Li Xiang, who also felt the name "Elmello II" sounded a little familiar, also began to meditate.

"...By the way, isn't that Waver?"

'In other words, World Webber, who has only played one cup battle, will also become El Mello II?Or is it a parallel world like Amakusa? '

"Do you... know the master?"

Gray asked in surprise.

She was really surprised, because there was only one person in the environment where she could call her master [Weber].

"Well, because I'm... I can't say that this time. Anyway, let's pretend I've heard it before."

Saying so, Li Xiang looked at the virtual screen projected in the personal terminal.

"By the way, Roman. You can see your predecessor's candidate for the seventh seat of the burial agency every day, right? I'm still the Son of God. Even if you don't talk about it, have you forgotten what you saw in the previous singularities? Up to now, there is no Is it necessary to be so surprised by the monarch?"

[No, even if you say that... the truth is this, but Chaldea is a subsidiary organization of the Magic Association and the United Nations... and Animsfia is also the monarch family of the clock tower...]

"Anyway—"

Lixiang turned her gaze to Gray.

"Is your name Gray?"

"Yeah. I'm Gray. And then, this is my friend Yard."

The gray girl held up the thing in her hand while saying so.

It was just a sickle, but now it has become something strange like [a Rubik's cube in a birdcage].

"Ahahahaha, you actually called the magic dress "friend" when someone introduced you, you will be treated as a weirdo, Stupid Grey."

"But Yad is my friend?"

"...You really like to be stubborn in strange places."

After muttering this, the faces on the Rubik's Cube pointed at Lixiang and Mash.

"That's what happened, I... hey, wait, the purple one, your shield—"

Yade stopped suddenly when he said this, and continued after a while,

"Forget it, I'm here, and there's no need to say it out loud. Anyway, I'm Yade, hello."

"Well, hello... ah, it feels like chatting with the Ten Commandments in the last singularity. This feeling is really subtle, but I don't hate it."

With that said, Lixiang turned and walked towards the pile of relics.

"To be honest, we are like headless chickens now. Of course, I welcome a friendly army at this time. However, we still have some private matters to do before I go to see your master with you."

"Private business?"

"Someone regarded me as a detective and gave me a commission. I had to give that commission last night...Little eggplant, do you still remember the description Miss Client gave to her sister?"

"Well, Mash, I've written them all down, senior."

Matthew took out his notebook and said.

Although it was night, there was still the dim light of the street lamps.With that faint light, Mash, who has Servant-level eyesight, can easily see the contents recorded in the notebook.

Next to her, she recounted the client's description of her sister to the notebook, and Li Xiang rummaged through the pile of relics according to those descriptions.After a while, she finally found what she was looking for - the relic of the client's younger sister.

"...That's the end of the commission... right?"

■London is the cafe from last time

After dawn, Lixiang asked her out according to the contact information given by the client.As for the meeting place, it is the same as last time.

"Miss Detective, do you already have news about my sister?!"

As soon as we met, the client lady didn't even care about the etiquette, and immediately shouted like this.

Maybe she is still holding on to something like the expectation that her sister will be fine?But the only thing Lixiang can do is to give her the relics of her sister.

At that moment, the woman seemed to suddenly become a rusty machine.She hugged the relic that Tachika gave her at a speed so slow that it could even be called "Carton", and tears flowed down unconsciously.

"……Thank you."

Then said such words.

Lixiang didn't expect that the client lady would have such a reaction, so she couldn't recover for a while.

"Really, really, thank you very much..."

In the end, what was this woman thanking for?

Although it took a while, the client finally calmed down.She originally wanted to give Lixiang the reward for entrusting it, but the girl refused.

"Ma'am, you should have a fairly wide network, right?"

Recalling the words she said when she first met this client, Li Xiang dragged out a large box behind him.

"These are the relics of other people who died on that street. If you want to pay, then please put these relics in the right hands... Well, this request may be more than asking for a large sum of money directly few?"

"Please rest assured to leave it to me... or rather, please leave it to me."

Thus, the [entrustment] that Lixiang took over due to various accidents was officially over.

Seeing that the client lady found a carriage and dragged the box away, Lixiang also left the coffee shop selling tea in order to go to see El-Melloi II with Grey.

"However, in the end, I still didn't figure it out."

Walking behind Gray on the road, Lixiang, who recalled the whole case, couldn't help but sigh,

"Based on the level of those vampires, the victims should be ordinary people, right? As a result, why can those ordinary people enter the shadow time?"

Lixiang had personally experienced that a crowd of people suddenly appeared on the street after the shadow time ended. Judging from that experience, ordinary people should not be able to easily enter the shadow time.

"...Master... has investigated the commonality of all the victims who were killed in the [Great Strangulation Panic]."

Gray spoke at this moment, so Tatsuka asked "What is it?" as a matter of course.

However, Gray did not answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before speaking.

"The Cursed One."

[curse?But the magic reacts—]

"It's not a [curse] in the sense of magic, but a more primitive..."

"To put it simply, all the people who died in that rumor were people around her who wanted her to disappear."

Yade made an explanation in a rougher way, which stunned Lixiang for a while.

She remembered what the vampire who died at the end said-【We are not bad】.

"...That's right."

That street, those four vampires.

They are not [murderers] but [weapons].

People who are cursed to die by those around them will be dragged into the spider nest hidden in the shadow time and strangled if they pass that road at 12 o'clock at night.

This is the whole "truth" of the [rumor] of the [Great Strangulation Panic] and this [case].

■Elmello II Detective Agency·Downstairs

"Here, this is the master's office."

Standing under a two-story building that was a bit crude to be honest, Gray introduced Lixiang and Matthew.

Obviously this is London, and it is also the favorite year of 1888 in early detective novels.However, this building looks like a detective agency that would appear in "Detective Conan".

Because of the influence of the heroic spirit Iskandar, El-Melloi II——Webber Velvet is basically an otaku, and he is also a senior otaku who can do research.Therefore, it is hard to say that the architectural style of this building was not his intention.

Under Gray's leadership, Matthew and Lixiang came to a room on the second floor together.

After knocking on the door a few times, Gray gently pushed the door open. The door was full of newspapers and things that looked like files. A man with long hair was busy behind the desk.

"Master, I'm back. Also, I found someone from Chaldea."

"Oh, that--"

The man raised his head while talking, but stopped when he saw Tachika.

His eyes widened as if he saw something unbelievable.

"You... haven't become a god?"

"I did it, but I found it was not suitable, so I gave up."

Looking at the face of Weber who couldn't tell that this guy used to be the one who could wear women's clothing at all, the girl asked while secretly feeling the magic of "growth",

"The first sentence is actually this. Your habit, shouldn't it be difficult to get along in the clock tower?"

"...As you said."

The man lowered his head with a wry smile.

"Class Caster, Zhuge Kongming. Anyway, just call me El-Melloi II."

"...Huh? Kong Ming?!"

"Before I explain in detail, can you sign the contract first?"

II held up a translucent hand and said,

"A follower can't do without a master."

"master?!"

Second turned his head to the side.

"I found a magic that can process multiple files at the same time in the thinking disk... But I accidentally didn't notice the consumption of magic power, that's it."

"Yihehehe, are you a child who just got a new toy? However, for you who have no talent, the Servant Spirit Base that can use magic to your heart's content is indeed a new toy!"

Yade, who was hung by Gray's waist, laughed and said, and the second had only one sentence in response to this.

"Grey, can I trouble you?"

"Okay, master."

Saying that, Gray took off the birdcage containing Yad and shook it.

"Are you doing this again? By the way, you should hesitate for a while! Hey! You idiot who values ​​sex and despises friends!"

Gray shook harder.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, okay! Don't hurry up and stop anyway, please, please, just like this—"

"You two have a really good relationship."

Seeing this scene, Li Xiang said subconsciously.

Hearing this, the Second Emperor raised his hand to cover his forehead.

"...It's evil fate."

"Nie Yuan is also fate, and you don't hate it." Li Xiang smiled and stretched out the hand with the command spell to the second, "In short, come and sign the temporary contract."

11. Urban Development Committee

■Elmello II Detective Agency

Led by the servant girl [Grey] that they met by chance, Lixiang and Mash came to El-Mello's detective agency, and met the same servant who almost killed herself because of playing magic Servant——Elmero II named Webber Velvet.

Although this first meeting was a bit nonsensical, it also washed away the anguish caused by the mixed incomprehensible parts in the previous [entrustment].

In order to prevent the Second Emperor from self-destructing in such a muddle, Li Xiang immediately signed a temporary contract with the Second Emperor.And by the way, also signed a contract with Gray.

"A Servant...Even the so-called [Heroic Spirit], the [Real Record Tape] is just a kind of spirit. Even though there are various exceptions, the existence of a Servant basically cannot be truly realized without a Master. I'm doing my best, and from this perspective, I am now [complete] as a [Servant]."

The Second King took out a cigar and explained while cutting off the head of the cigar. It seems that he is also the kind of person who has a habit of explaining.

"Although it seems to be cheating, do I get a little closer to that person now... Ah, sorry, Master—this feels really strange—do you mind this (cigar)?"
