Perspective – I

Had a dream.

It was clear that there was no distinction between day and night, and only souls could exist, but I did see something that should not exist.

Today's ... Again...【Rustle】... Let's go!'

"Today in... Did something happen?'

"...[rustle]... , this time to do ...... [rustling]...... Oh, would you like to taste it?'

"Sure enough, this dress is too fat,... [rustle]... You're from... I've been thinner at the beginning,... [Rustle]... I'm some... This. 』

"...... [Shasha] ......!!It's you... of... [rustling].... I hope you ...... [Rustle]...... ,...... [rustling] ....... I'm also sorry for my... Feel... Oh!'

The sound was so broken that in the end, only a murmur remained, and the body temperature was gradually lost, and the darkness around it made people involuntarily curl up.

Squeak –

What's ...... Something, what makes up "me" is dissipating.

My heart hurts, but I don't know why. It was painful, but surprisingly calm, as if falling into a bottomless valley, and an unknown fear began to spread all over the body.

It's so cold, it's so thirsty, where is it? It's terrible, why is no one?Is I'm the only one here?Where have everyone else gone?Will I die?Die here?Don't, don't

"Mom's ......"

I — until I woke up, I didn't know why I said that word at that time.

Perspective – Lenys

In the morning, it was so cold outside the tower that people shivered slightly.

The temperature difference between day and night in the Lake District is already obvious. In October, it can reach almost 20 degrees during the day, while it is below freezing at night and in the morning.

The distance between the towers is about a 10-minute walk.

Last night's social party was like it didn't exist, and the Tower of the Moon had returned to silence.

The cracked walls were tangled in thorns, and when you look closer, you think it's not the same building you had been building last night.

We entered the tower through the back door that Golden Hime had said.

As she said, the door was unlocked and we easily invaded the interior.

We snuck through the hallway and went straight up the spiral staircase inside.

Golden Hime's room was on the third floor, and we found the one she told us about in a few rows of doors and knocked on it.

“…… Miss Tiadella, are you there?"

I asked, in a low voice.

No response.

No, not even the breath of a person. Unlike just now, the door was locked, and it didn't move at all, whether it was pushed or pulled.

I had a very bad premonition.

"Trim. Smash it!"

“Yes，Master!”

Mercury slipped out of my suitcase and transformed into a maid's form. Then a warhammer spawned from her right hand, shattering the wooden door with ease.

I wanted to avoid the debris, but I stepped on it to get into the room.

The room was spacious.

The interior is neatly tidy, with elegant furniture in addition to a four-poster bed with a canopy. The soft jellyfish-like lamp must have been the work of Émile Calais. - At the same time, the most surprising thing is that there are no mirrors. It's hard to imagine a woman without a mirror in her room, and perhaps there is a reason for their magic.

“……”

However, I immediately gave up all thinking.

Because a certain red color was found.

It's in bed. On the pure white sheets, the red was like a rose. If you're an artist, you'll probably be grateful for the red configuration. Even in this state of affairs, everything around her is still the same.

“……”

The golden heme was in the middle of that red.

It's like a flower. It is said that flowers evolved to attract insects. Whether it's the petals of a blooming flower or the way in which the wind is weak, they all exist to capture the hearts of other creatures.

Case.

Case.

Case.

Case.

…… Ahhhh

In this case, how to describe her now.

“……”

I was completely speechless.

All brain cells have stopped moving. At least, I'd rather they all stop at this moment, I thought to myself. For mere human cognition, this picture is too much.

"Tiadella...... Miss....... ”

Even Grey's shattered voice was out of my consciousness.

Her eyes were closed.

Her lips were tightly closed.

She wasn't breathing.

Below her neck, [no body].

Jin Jinji's body became scattered, and her head was resting on the soft sheets.

--------------

Perspective – Grey

The news of Jin Jinji's death quickly spread throughout the Shuangxiang Tower.

In order to protect the scene, Miss Rhaenys stayed where she was, while I went to deliver the word. Because of the urgency of the situation, people immediately gathered in the room of the golden hime and took the scene into their eyes.

“…… Lenies, Miss. ”

The first to arrive panting was the pharmacist Mai O, who saw the scene and his eyes widened.

then

"Hey, hey. This is a big deal. ”

"You are?"

"Mick Gulagille. The people of the curse family (Jigu). ”

The Curse Branch (Gigumariel) is a neutral faction like Meyastia.

The dark-skinned man scratched his head.

"Ahh What's going on. ”

As soon as the third person entered the room, he collapsed to the floor with a hoarse sound.

“…… No way. How could it be, how could my clothes be like this. ”

A man with an eye-catching hairstyle sighed.

"You are?"

"Islo...... Sebunam. I made the dresses of the golden and silver princesses. ”

Judging from what he said, it seems that he cares more about the dress than about people.

And then

Bang, there was the sound of a cane poking at the stone slab.

A groan like the destruction of the world fell on the floor of the room.

"How could it be...... Such...... Tiadella ....... ”

“…… Sister. ”

The trembling voice seemed to be chasing the incident as a tragedy.

Perhaps the most brutal thing in this blood-soaked room was the arrival of these two men.

“…… Bai Longqing, Bai Yinji. ”

"I see. What a commotion. ”

With that, another woman appeared.

She is now not wearing glasses. Orange pressed one hand into her dull crimson hair, and her tone was very different from before, very cold—at least that way, as she observed the room.

"Ahh ”

She shook her head.

"I said, that's really going to work. It's ridiculous to be like this. With so many magicians on the scene, what's the point?"

“…… What do you mean?"

I couldn't help but ask.

"Listen, I've heard when I came here that Jin Jinji's room was locked when you broke in, right? I've been in a bit of trouble before, so I know. The rooms of the Golden and Silver Queens are MysticLocks. It is the kind that corresponds to everyone's magic wavelength, and is also used in the treasure trove of the clock tower. In other words, [the door to the Golden Hime's room can only be opened by the Golden Hime]. ”

Mystic–Lock.

Even though the Golden Lady died in her room, the Mystic–Lock was still locked.

"So. …… In other words, isn't it "

"'Chamber of Secrets'—that's what you mean. ”

Another familiar voice forced its way in.

"Well, indeed, it doesn't hurt to say it's a secret room. But are you ignoring a major premise? The so-called secret room is [He Kills]. I didn't even consider the possibility of suicide, and as soon as I saw that there were conditions, I defined you as a middle-aged aunt? It seems that the appearance [fixed] can't stop the corruption in the heart, no, maybe it's become stinky tofu. ”

What a passage that vividly uses the word "looking for death".

But, I guess it's an illusion. Just hearing this voice, my tense spirit subconsciously relaxed.

"And Leenys, don't mess around because of this [], you didn't kill people, why panic? ”

- Anyway, what to say.

"By the way, who are you, uncle? Are you a person concerned or are you joining in the fun? If you can, please say your name, although I don't necessarily remember it. ”

- Please wipe the blood off your body before you say that.

--------------

Perspective – Teenager

I'm in a bad state right now.

The excessive blood loss caused by the correction of the "direction" and the effect of the nightmare of "me" made me not even know what I had just said. - But just by looking at the expressions of these people, you know that you must have died a great death, and there is a high probability that you will actually die.

"But it doesn't matter. ”

Having spoken the words of my heart, I—turned my blood-stained face to Byron.

"That...... It's Mr. Byron...... bar. I just got a little out of control because of the unexpected incident and strenuous exercise, and I apologize solemnly. If there is a gaffe, please correct me, after all, I don't know what I said. ”

Then, without waiting for Byron's reply, I shifted my gaze to the other side.

"You...... It's called Karina. ”

Golden Ji, Silver Ji next to the twin maids, one of them.

Looking at the maid who [once] belonged to the Golden Hime, I asked bluntly.

"Anyway, let's ask a question that everyone wants to ask - what did Golden Ji and Rhaenys say?"

"I wasn't there when Ti and Tiadella were discussing important matters, so I ......"

"There's no reason for that. And I don't have that time and leisure. Listen, I'll talk about it - Tiadra Barujereta Izeluma said to Leays Ermelo Archizanti last night what did she say?"

I rarely put on a strong posture, probably because my head was deprived of oxygen, and I always felt that I didn't feel like myself anymore.

“……”

Karina hung her head, falling silent.

"Karina. ”

Byron urged her to continue.

Karina couldn't disobey her master's orders and said in a slur manner.

“…… Mistress Tiadella, she ...... I want to flee to Ermelo. ”

"What......!"

Except for Karina and Orange, everyone else was in a commotion because of this remark.

"Sister Karina...... Why ......"

"Regina. ”

The maid called her twin sister's name.

Karina, Regina. It seems that this is their name.

Either way, what you just said was too fatal for Lenys.

“…… This thing...... You can't ignore it anyway. ”

Byron looked at me as if he were acting.

It seems that he knew the general situation before he came to the scene - then it would be easy to do.

"Yes, you can't ignore it. ”

I, with all my strength, bluffed.

"Why doesn't Mr. Byron seem surprised?"

“…… What do you say?"

Byron frowned, as if something that everyone knew was being told by someone who didn't know what was going on, and gripped the cane tightly with his hand. But I completely ignored it and gushed out.

"Because it's so strange, isn't it? There—the masterpiece of your life was taken to life in that way, but you don't feel sad at all, but there's a strange anger in it. I don't know if this is a common problem of magicians, but even if you do everything to pursue your roots, you won't be able to return to normalcy so quickly in the face of your achievements being trampled. It's weird, I always think Mr. Byron—"

[As if I had known for a long time that Jin Jinji would die]

The words that came out silenced everyone around them. It's such a "natural" thing, but it can be so destructive when it passes through the mouths of others. It's a matter that can be vetoed just by thinking about it, but it's hard to debate when it's raised by others.

“……”

Byron – choose silence.

Well, well, silence is indeed the best option at this time. Whether it's for him, or for me. My body doesn't allow me to talk anymore, I'm almost a third of my blood gone, and I'm going to collapse if I continue like this.

I have to end this topic early, I glanced at Rhaenys, and I left it to you, I spoke again.

“…… It seems impossible to veto, Mr. Byron. Not a justification but a veto. You can't be indifferent to the death of your own daughter (the best masterpiece) - and that's the same for us, and Rhaenys is not immune to suspicion because of her relationship with Golden Ji last night, and it's not impossible for her to have an argument over the escape that hasn't been settled. So, let's take a step back. ”

"Step back, one step?"

"That's right, although I really want to get out of the relationship, it's a pity that I'm Lyenys's bodyguard this time. Even if the work of the contractor fails, it must be carried out to the end, but it is the contractor's code of conduct. ”

I said to Baron.

"It's up to you and me to find the culprit. Bet on our respective reputations. ”
