"Got it."

"Then let's check the left."

"In that case, let's go to the room on the right."

After assigning the task, we went our separate ways.

First, let's start with the front room.

The room wasn't locked, and with the turn of the handle, it opened.

"Oh, it's the study."

"It seems that we were lucky enough to find it as soon as we came."

"Hmm!"

Inside the room was the study I was looking for.

There were also some paper-like things on the table.

"Hmm...... It seems like some boring diary......"

"It looks like that......"

I casually took a copy off the shelf.

None of the records in it are what we want.

After looking for several copies in a row, it seems that this room is not the correct answer in the true sense.

"Hinako, this doesn't seem to be the place we're looking for...... Hinako? What happened to you? The face seems to be very red. ”

I was going to go to the next room, but Hinako looked at the book in her hand with a flushed face and didn't hear my words at all.

"Hey, Hinako, what are you looking at?"

"Wow? Captain? Wait, this can't be seen! ”

Seeing that I wanted to see the book in her hand, Hinako hurriedly closed the book and leaned against the shelf.

"Why? You'll be able to see it tomorrow. ”

"Anyway, it just doesn't work, let's go and go to the next room. Let's go, let's go. ”

"Wait...... Let me take a look. ”

"Let's go, Captain. Nothing to look at. ”

After Hinako stuffed the books into the shelves, she pushed me out of the room.

It's suspicious...... Be sure to come back later to see what the book is.

There was still nothing of interest in the second room, it was just a room full of miscellaneous items.

"Captain, it doesn't seem to be this room either."

"Well, let's go check out the next one."

But as soon as we got out of the door, we heard Hoshino's screams.

"Ahh

It came from the room directly across from us, and they had just found the second room.

"They seem to be in danger, let's go and see."

"Hmm. My magic attack is ready at any time. ”

Pushing open the door, I saw Hoshino hiding behind Haruna's back trembling. Because the two of them are facing away from us, we can't see the specific situation.

"What's wrong, Hoshino? What's going on with the screaming just now? ”

"Suzuki? Ah, sorry, I saw something terrible. ”

"What do you mean by something terrible...... Is this one? ”

Hinako, who crossed the bodies of the two, was not frightened, but glanced at Hoshino in surprise.

"Hmm...... That's right. ”

"What's that? Belch...... Hoshino, are you afraid of dogs? ”

Woohoo.

That's right, there is a very cute-looking dog guarding the room. It didn't look like it would attack people, but it scared Hoshino so much that he hid behind Harina and didn't dare to move at all.

"Hmm...... Isn't it possible? ”

"It's not a question of whether it works or not...... How so...... It's just a little bit of a surprise. ”

“…… I was bitten by a neighbor's dog as a child. ”

This is the so-called once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.

But I didn't expect Hoshino to be afraid of dogs.

"There's nothing else here anyway, so let's go check out the next room."

There's nothing else anyway, so leave the dog here and leave it alone.

"Hmm."

"Let's go with the four of us, so as not to encounter any more unexpected situations."

"So be it."

They didn't disagree with me.

Together, we started the search for the next room.

It's a pity that there is still nothing.

After we searched all the rooms, we still didn't find any valuable information.

"No more...... The books here are full of useless stuff, and if I look at them a few more times, I'll definitely vomit them. ”

The last room was also a study, but we didn't find what we needed.

The floor was full of books we had flipped through, and there were stacks of books.

"Me too...... It's all boring. Enough of these guys. ”

"Could there be any mechanism? For example, there is a secret passage hidden behind the bookshelf or something. ”

"It's a possibility."

However, Sophia removed the bookshelf and inspected it to find that the wall was a solid wall, and this conjecture was declared false.

"We're really going to torture those two guys, right?"

"I'm in favor of Hinako."

Hoshino threw away the book in his hand as if giving up, and raised his hand to show his agreement with Hinako's idea.

Actually, I'm annoyed myself, but Hinako said what was on my mind.

"Well, I'm in favor of Hinako this time too...... Searching for it doesn't always come to fruition. ”

And just like that, we went back to the room where we started.

Nana and Sophia were frolicking, and when they saw us coming back, they immediately greeted us.

"How's it going, Suzuki-san, did you find anything?"

"No...... We found nothing inside. ”

"That's ......"

"So we're ready to interrogate these two guys."

"Oh...... Need Nana's help? ”

"It's okay, just let me come."

As soon as I walked up to these two people, I realized that something was wrong.

They didn't breathe at all.

Suffered!

"Oh no, they killed themselves!"

It seems that he should have committed suicide by taking poison.

In order to keep the secret, these two people are also hard enough.

"What? Committed suicide? ”

"In that case, won't the clue be broken?"

"......Shh I didn't expect them to commit suicide. ”

"I'm sorry, Suzuki-san. It's all to blame Nana for not paying attention and letting them die. ”

"It's not Nana's fault, it's that I didn't think it through so much."

I touched Nana's head, who looked self-reproachful.

"But ......"

"It's okay, I know how to deal with them."

"Huh?! How? ”

"Do it - Holy Resurrection!"

Divine white light shone on both of them.

Call......

I heard the faint breathing of both of them.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long, otherwise it wouldn't have been resurrected.

"Huh? Here it is...... Paradise? ”

"Don't think too much, people like you are destined for hell."

The killer who opened his eyes seemed to be a little confused.

"You guys? Are you dead too? Hahaha, that's great! ”

"It must be our brother who has come to avenge us."

Haven't these two guys realized that they were resurrected......

But you can use it a little.

I grabbed Hinako, who was about to rush up and make a move.

"That's right, we were killed by your companions. But I'm lucky to see you again. ”
