□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

I walked around the room block since, but I couldn't find Cuco finding Emily.

Were you worried, you haven't boarded yet, or...

"Logging out..."

If you're logged out, it's impossible to find you.

I wasn't logged out until just before something happened, I can't hit my hand.

Or maybe if you have company you should find it...... that's hard too.

Let Cuco tell you, because it's not uncommon for anyone to count as many people as are commonly said to be mass murderers, regardless if they're pushing through as well as Emily.

And Cuco doesn't know until the breakdown (...).

Tian kill, PK, PKK, or a regular duel. I can't tell that far.

Because I couldn't, because I was using Gideon's Master on my sister's “plan".

"But it's the problem that I can't tell..."

Earlier I was responding to the < master > of a lion-like red jacket.

I don't have the ingredients here to judge what qualities he built that much count with.

Only Count's penetrating Emily will be the biggest landmark when Cuco searches.

Otherwise... we'll have to investigate the dubious opponent in the tunnel.

"... I don't think that's my area."

One way or another, it's like a detective does it.

... I wonder why. Luke's face, freshly revealed as he stepped into a person's psyche, made me angry.

That's how, while I was walking, I noticed it coming out towards the deck.

The desert sun is strong in time now, and people are not often seen on the deck illuminating the sunlight.

Still exploring the surroundings...... nothing particularly unusual.

"What do we do, Hugo?

"... First, let's hang up here. If you dock in the next city, we'll search again."

However, on the route to Dragnomad, the next city to dock is the last relay point.

If Emily and the others are getting in anew, that's the last time.

Otherwise...... you should see it as likely to log out.

Assuming that she suddenly shows up on this ship in a state of killing like the one in Cortana's case, catastrophic events are inevitable.

... Should I also consult Mr. Manigold?

"Um, may I have a word?

When I was thinking, I was called from across.

At the same time that I am drawn back to consciousness, I jump back aggressively for surprise.

"Ah, don't be so scared!

The Lord of the Voice was a small woman. Is it to avoid the sun, or is he wearing a hood?

In addition, even inside the hood, a complex patterned cloth is wrapped from the lid to the top. It looked a little like the ethnic costumes of nineteenth-century Central Asia that Dr. Nina had seen in class.

I just don't know if it's either Tian or Master because they're covered in gloves with both hands.

"I've been walking around looking at kyorokyoro for a while now, so I just called out looking for something... you know, it's not suspicious! It's not the enemy!

Apparently, they were suspicious because they were sending their gaze around in a sparsely populated place.

……

Was this woman there when I looked around earlier?

Though I thought I looked pretty carefully,...... I'll get confirmation from Cuco just in case.

…………

Cuco remained silent and shook his head small.

No, it's a sign of intent. She's not Emily's disguise, she's not a murderer.

We make circles out of our fingers, so we have zero fellow crusaders.

... I see. Then Cuco can't detect it, and the way I look for it overlooks it.

"Uh?

"Oh, no. I don't care about you. I was just looking for someone."

"Oh, then there's information in the mall. If requested, we can tell the searcher from the on-board audio system that we're looking for him and where he's meeting."

It's like a lost announcement... but there was even such a service, this ship.

But I don't think I'll use it. So I'd be surprised if Emily really came, but... there's also a strong fear of becoming a snake.

"Thank you kindly"

"No, you're welcome"

The woman smiled back at me like that.

But there's no sign of you walking away from me.

Smiling, looking at me.

"Um, anything else?

"I'm sorry if I was wrong. Are you possibly Hugo Receps, who worked on the Cortana case?

For a moment, I was thrilled.

But I know my name has only spread a little in the case ahead.

"... Yes. But I'm not active. I just pushed the spread of the damage a little bit... Besides, it must have been [the Pluto] Benetnache who brought the case to an end in Cortana."

"Be modest! Benettonache stopped the bead disaster, and you stopped the [Murder Princess] man-made disaster, right?

…………

Much more familiar with the circumstances.

Although the outline of the case is widespread in newspapers and elsewhere, you will need to buy information for more information.

"Actually, this is what I am!

She has offered me and Cuco one business card at a time.

Business cards received include: 'Star Tune. Free Journalist ([Reporter])'.

"I've been following various disturbances that have recently erupted in this cardina into articles lately. So, I was hoping I could interview you, who was a party to the big incident in Cortana. We'll also be offering you an interview..."

"... I'm sorry, but I'm at work now. I can't take it."

"Gunn!"

Now that I know why she's familiar with the situation, there's no reason to be interviewed during her escort duties.

"Uh, really, no...?

The star looks up at this one with his eyes full of tears.

...... for some reason I get guilty.

"Lady, we'll wipe your tears. I promise you that you will smile tomorrow morning. '

Cuco...... Once in a while, will you stop digging up my old remarks?

It does go against my doctrine to abandon every woman's trouble and plea and she doesn't sleep well, because she has a job to look around...

"Um, well, not an interview, but an exchange of information..."

"Exchange of information?

"Yes, I'll make the latest on a series of bead cases I've got a consideration for the interview! I haven't even made it into an article yet. I'll take it!

... I'm a little interested in that.

That information may also help with this escort and the bead hunt itself I'm going with my master......

"What do you think I should do?

"Hugo's Jiyuu"

I talked to Cuco, but he gave it back to me like that.

… although it bothers me a little.

"Okay. Interview, I'll take it."

"Thank you! We'll have to interview you in a private cafe in the mall! Ah! Of course I'll have your money! Sassa!

"Oh hey......!?

Her full grin draws my right hand, and I am taken straight to the direction of the mall.

Note that for some reason Cuco is holding hands with my left hand, which was empty.

On the way, he said to the wrong man, "Flowers in both hands! Keh!" but I don't think I can say flowers on both hands because the contents are women either.

◇

"Thank you for the interview!

"... you're welcome"

... Tired.

Twenty minutes after the stars brought me into the cafe's private room.

They asked me about Cortana's case, but it was finally over.

It should be noted that while I was answering the interview and throating, Cuco was having a little drink like Lassie's.

"Thank you for your help..."

"Wait. I didn't get that information."

I grabbed her hand trying to walk away.

Dangerously, they were just about to take away the interview.

I won't let you get away with it because I stuck it up my throat in an interview.

"Ugh, I thought I could go Nori, but they still won't flush me..."

"So, what's your information like?

"... Ugh, I get it. I'll talk..."

The star sat back in the chair, mindfully.

"Uh, we checked in the interview, but Mr. Hugo is going to collect the beads, right?

"I'm not collecting them personally, and I'm helping."

She knew me and my master were going around collecting beads.

So when they confirmed that in the interview, I had to snort. Eighty-nine, because I would have had the kind of True or False Judgment.

"Then I figured... I wonder if this info..."

Then she took a bunch of materials out of the item box.

"Go ahead. It's a copy, so I'll give it to you"

Look through what you receive.

It's a map of Cardina, marked in six places.

Two of them are Hermione and Cortana.

And that's the city where the man said he was a business dealer with Mr. Manigold.

"Is this... the location of the beads?

I hear there are seven stolen beads, but six of them were located in this dossier.

That means there are even things that Master...... < Sephiroto > wouldn't grasp.

"Yes, this is a bead sighting that creates a strange phenomenon. It's just that the current information isn't what it is, so it might be somewhere else now."

That would be so.

I've already recovered the beads of Hermine and Cortana, and the beads of the third city are on this ship.

Except for that, three more.

"... which of these beads turns water into dirt?

"That's the only place."

A star points to one of the marks.

Pearls obtained by the Master in Cortana trading with [Pluto] Benetnache. Now we know where it was.

Two for the rest.

"... the northern end city of Winter Orb and the lake city of Vensale, or"

Brilliantly divided north and south.

But this information is huge.

As she says, it's possible we're already on the move.

But at least three of the six locations were right. It's also likely it's still there as per her info.

"But the location of the beads is really important information... Wasn't just selling this to someone a fortune?

At least, I think it's too big a consideration for the interview earlier.

"No, such a dangerous bridge"

"Dangerous bridge?

"What do you think would happen if you sold information to people looking for the power of the beads and it wasn't in the city you taught them about? Retaliation will kill you for stealing your body, skin and guts...?

…………

I see. That's definitely dangerous.

Four out of six are no longer there, so you're right not to sell them.

"Actually, I gathered this series of information, information exchange between freelancers looking into the same case... One of them was recently found dead..."

"... that's scary"

But I was a little convinced.

Including information you don't have, 'Isn't it strange that you know where the beads are for six minutes?' I thought, 'but I don't even know if it's a collection of information that multiple people got.

"That's why it's just good enough to use it to exchange information. Besides, if you give this information to anyone who needs it, there's progress on the case, and we can do that in the article."

…………

I see, and I'm convinced, 'Is that what [reporters] have information for, not just < DIN >?' I don't even think about it.

"Uh, the information on the consideration... is this okay?

"Oh, enough.... Can I just ask you one thing?

"What is it?

"Do you have any information on these two beads' abilities? Because it doesn't seem to say that much in this dossier."

But earlier, as soon as they asked me about my abilities, I was answering the location of the beads.

In short, I guess you know just because you didn't write it.

"... ok. Besides. The north seems to be the bead of recovery. The south... I thought it was just an ice bead."

"I see...... thanks"

Recovery beads and ice beads.

Compared to maggot beads and humanized beads, it seems to be a somewhat straightforward substitute.

Well, I guess it's something similar to the first bead of thunder.

"So the exchange of information has been..."

"Oh. Thank you, star"

"No.... but I served you this time, so let me talk to you again if it's still somewhere in the future!

That's what the stars said and took their seats, and now it's time to leave.

By the way, he took the slip with him. It's discipline as long as you were trying to escape without giving us the first information.

"Well, we need to get back to Mr. Manigold and talk about this, including this."

We must also talk about the possibility that Emily is logging out until something happens.

"Nevertheless, Konka was lucky"

"Right. You were lucky to meet a star. Thanks to you I was able to get important information....?

... but why not?

I just remembered an event.

That was... when your sister served Ray [Chemomimi pills] and [PSS [Peeping Spy Slime]].

"No way."

I shook my head and kicked out the suspicion that the star had come into contact with me under the guise of coincidence and planted something in the information he would give me.
