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

"Senior, are you doing this here?"

"Yeah, little eggplant is really smart."

The Chaldean duo who came to this office yesterday got into the kitchen early in the morning and seemed to be cooking.Among them, the orange-haired girl's movements are quite capable, and it can even be said to be so pleasing to the eye that it can be called [beautiful].

It didn't take long for them to finish all their homework and walk out with the prepared food.

"Are you all up? If you've also washed up, then come and eat."

"Master, is this...?"

"Well...Look, didn't you have nothing to do all night yesterday? Then, it was only at night that I started working."

Second nodded.

"The time when the rumored case happened is basically at night, and the place where the case happened is basically inside the movie time, so it is naturally relatively free during the day."

then.

Although this office has accumulated piles of commissions, it does not mean that the office has to be busy every day like doing daily tasks in mobile games.

Last night was an unexpected [nothing to do] night, Lixiang and Mash who had just joined this detective agency naturally didn't have to do anything.

One night plus one day is equivalent to a whole day of [doing nothing] for Li Xiang and Mash.

"How should I put it? It was okay when I was in Chaldea... Although I also went to exercise and helped out when I was in Chaldea. In short, the first few singularities were overtaken."

Although the first few singularities also have rest periods, the essence of those rest periods is actually [sneaking in while busy].For Lixiang and Mash who have gone through the four singularities, there is a whole day of [nothing to do] in the singularity—to put it bluntly, it is something that they will not get used to thing.

"Anyway, because I wanted to do something, Little Eggplant, Fufu, I got up and cooked in the morning - it just so happens that your living habits are quite unhealthy, although the servants don't seem to need to worry about it."

Saying so, Lixiang cast his eyes on the corner not far from the room.

There were two big bags of... snack boxes.

"I didn't expect that this London already has [takeaway]...and there is a refrigerator."

This London, which does not look too abnormal at first glance, is abnormal to the extreme in various subtleties.

"However, your refrigerator is full, why are you still buying takeaway?"

As long as there is enough mana, the servant does not need to eat.

——That's what it says.

But it can be seen from the fact that II almost destroyed himself, their magic power is not [enough] at all.And the servants are human beings after all. If it is better to eat or not to eat, most of them will choose to eat.Therefore, although eating is not considered regular, these people have to eat every day.

"Simply put... we basically don't know how to cook."

Second said so.

El-Melloi II, although Weber Velvet is a fourth-rate magician, the so-called "monarch" is the king of the clock tower, and the El-Melloi family is also a nobleman—to put it simply, There are servants in their house as a matter of course.

"I'll be a little...just a little..."

That's what Gray said, and the last Kay—

"Although it may destroy children's fantasy - there are not many knights of the round table who can cook, and the few who can cook are not very delicious."

"... Then why buy a refrigerator full of ingredients?"

"We are all followers. To put it bluntly, we are dead, although there are people who are not completely dead."

Kay shrugged.

"It's useless to keep the commission fee, isn't it?"

"Fu!"

At this moment, Fufu, who was digging out after helping in the kitchen, seemed to be in a good mood and jumped on Kai.

"Huh? What... wait, Kathy Paluge?!"

Kai seemed to be terribly frightened, and kept waving his hands trying to tear Fufu off his face.But Fufu seemed to be very happy, lying on Kai's head and couldn't get off.

That scene, it looked like Kay was playing with Fufu.

"Ah, Sir Kay is amazing."

Mash who came out behind Fufu said in surprise,

"Except for me and seniors, Fufu has never been so close to someone I met for the first time."

"Because it's not the first time we've met! Speaking of this dangerous creature... well, it doesn't really count if you think about it! In short, let this stupid cat come down!"

"what?!"

Lixiang showed a shocked expression,

"Is Fufu a cat?! No, no, it makes sense if it is a cat. Since it is a cute cat, then the soft fur is a matter of course!!"

"What should you care about now?!"

——Anyway, Fufu finally ran down from Kai's head and returned to Lixiang's side.

"Although I have seen a lot of traditional British dishes on the menu, but..."

Saying so, Tachika and Mash brought a large pot to the middle of the table and distributed the tableware.

"There are too many potatoes in the refrigerator, so I made mashed potatoes - I made black tea, but there is no milk."

"Mashed potatoes?!"

Kay yelled again in surprise.

Kai gave an unusual impression this morning, and even Grey and II showed unexpected expressions.Curious about his reaction, Lixiang tilted her head and asked,

"What happened to the mashed potatoes?"

"Um, no, it's not a big deal, I just ate it a lot during my lifetime."

Although you say so, the Kaisheng mashed potatoes and the action of extending the spoon to the bowl are like a child who wants to drink a large bowl of traditional Chinese medicine.

Everyone was curious about his attitude.So everyone put down the tableware in unison and chose to watch Kai eat mashed potatoes.

Kay's expression changed more than five times as he put the spoon into his mouth.If one only looked at his expression, one might think that he was fighting some terrible and powerful enemy.

However, the spoon was finally put into his mouth by him.

Then he...

"You actually cried?!"

Yad yelled in surprise, and it sounded like he saw the sky fall.

"No, don't you often eat mashed potatoes? Although this mashed potatoes smell very good."

"wrong!"

Kay lifted his bowl like it was the Holy Grail.

"This is the real mashed potatoes! That guy Gao Wen did nothing more than rotten potatoes... No, it's just a homework of turning the ingredients into barely edible garbage! It's a pity that the kid can finish it every time, to be honest If it weren't for the food shortage, I would really like to dump that thing!"

Then, strange words like "I was summoned just to be corrected for this mistake" and "It's great to accept the summon, this record must be sent back" and other strange words began to come out of Kai's mouth.

"...Is it so exaggerated? Gray, what do you think?"

Yade said so, so Gray and the second also filled a bowl of mashed potatoes and took a bite.

Gray covered her mouth the next moment.

"I, it's great to be alive."

"You said this sentence when you were summoned with the teacher over there... Wait, it means that this bowl of mashed potatoes is so delicious to you?!"

In contrast, II is a little more elegant.

"I see, [Deliciousness is a kind of magic], I have fully realized it... If the level of ingredients and kitchen utensils are also raised, maybe [] can be touched."

"...Finally able to contemplate the magic trick with your mind, so you are finally crazy?"

Yade said dumbfounded, and Matthew, who was watching from the side, showed a proud and smug expression.

——From that day on, the veterans of this firm completely abandoned takeaway.

13. Spring Heeled Jack Murder

■ Brief description of the case

Simply put, a murder took place.

Speaking of "Detective Story", it is basically "Murder Case".Although there are also detective stories with other incidents as the theme, the stories about the "murder incident" are definitely overwhelming.

Maybe it's because the first story of the world's most famous detective [Sherlock Holmes] is related to the murder?Or is it that the murder incident is more interesting as a story than an incident such as "Looking for the Missing Cat"?

In short, El-Melloi II's detective agency has received a special commission, which is the murder case mentioned earlier—and, it is a serial murder case.

Of course, this was no ordinary murder.

In the final analysis, the purpose of the establishment of this detective agency is to find clues to the abnormality in London, a singularity.Therefore, this detective will basically deal with cases related to rumors.If it is an ordinary murder case, the second king will recommend the client to other more suitable detective agencies.

In this serial murder case, the culprit was [Jack]—not that Jack the Ripper didn’t exist in London for some reason, but a rumor called [Spring Heeled Jack].

This name is also the name of a [rumor] that appeared in London in the past.

It is said that there is a monster that can fly over the walls, has a head like a burning jack-o-lantern, wields two iron claws and can spit out flames from its mouth, and is carrying out [serial killings] in the city.

However, this rumor is different from all other rumors in one way, and this difference even caused a huge change in the nature of the entire case.

——The rumor happened during the daytime.

■Nisei Detective Agency·A few days ago

Since becoming members of this detective agency, the daily tasks of Lixiang and Matthew have become fixed.

Except for Li Xiang who cooks for almost half out of interest, there are basically only a few things they do every day.

During the day, I will go out with Kai and rely on Chaldea's support to collect [rumors].In the evening, according to the corresponding commission, sneak into the movie time with Gray to solve the case.

Of course, there is also a break time, and some cases will be delayed for more than one day or need to contact the client.But in short, Lixiang and Mash are doing almost these things every day.

For such a long period of time, Matthew's body has not deteriorated, which makes Lixiang a little happy.

On that day, everyone was sorting out the recently collected rumors in the office.

[how to say?There are too many rumors about this singularity, right? ]

Looking at the pile of documents, Roman, who relied on Chaldea's function to help organize the documents, couldn't help but say such a sentence.

This city that seems to be a city of vampires is full of all kinds of rumors, even to the point of overflowing.Don't look at the documents in front of Lixiang are now piled up on a table, but these documents are actually nothing but rumors collected by her and Matthew in the past few days.

"If the rumor that [an organization composed of Dead Apostles is secretly attacking the city] is true, then the number of rumors of this level is just basic—almost two or three Dead Apostles can make a city float. It's full of vampire rumors, who knows how many dead disciples that organization has?"

"Moreover, many of these rumors are just pure rumors." Kai said, leaning on the sofa and waving a piece of paper in his hand, "For example, this rumor, [the sewer is full of pigs], this kind of strange What are the rumors? I have also been down the sewers, thanks to the management of the urban development committee, the sewers under this city are horribly clean."

"...But, this is really strange."

Holding a stack of documents, Lixiang wrinkled up nicely without any doubts,

"In the [initial] case we experienced at this singularity, the Dead Apostle who panicked about the strangulation once said this to me-[You are the rumored vampire hunter]."

"I said so." Matthew nodded and took out his assistant's notebook, "That lady vampire hunter seems to be wearing a nun's costume too."

"If this city is really full of vampires as we speculated, then it is impossible for the church to not act. So, maybe it is the agent sent by the church? But why is there no vampire hunter at all?" rumor】?"

"That..." Gray said while holding a teacup, "Mysterious concealment or something? The master said that magicians need to abide by such rules..."

"80.00% of the world's large bookstores can buy the Bible, and the church actually does not hide the mysterious need. The reason why it hides the mystery is just because it is better to do so."

Lixiang also put down the documents in his hand, broke his teacup and said,

"The so-called [actor] simply means [acting the will of the Lord]. Although the church as an organization naturally has corruption and cruelty, this general policy will not change—then the problem is coming, the Lord's will." What is will?"

[…to lead humanity to the right future. ]

Hearing Roman's answer, Lixiang nodded.

"That's right, that's it. Look at the Ten Commandments and you'll understand? The purpose of that god is nothing more than that. It is said that King Solomon is actually the system created by that pigeon to guide mankind. The fabric of human reason can cover the earth itself. It’s also thanks to the original sin that that guy took away, so I respect him—well, I basically just listen to what other people say about these things.”

After taking a sip of tea, Lixiang continued,

"In short, if the situation in this city is as dangerous as we speculate, then the agents of the church should actively spread similar rumors for the hearts of the people. Since the Dead Apostles in London know the existence of that vampire hunter, ordinary It's odd that people don't know. Unless..."

"Someone is actively suppressing the spread of [Vampire Hunter] rumors."

After taking a sip of his cigar, Nisho said those words as if he was talking to himself.
