“What nonsense is that!!

It couldn’t have fallen to the ground!!

Go quickly and find it!!

If you escape outside, you’ll be in trouble!!”

“But even the roof was searched!!

It currently does not exist within this mansion!!

It is important to quickly inform the outside world so that they can be on guard… !!”

“Damn it!! How did this happen?!”

The argument continued with the guard captain and the guards raising their voices, and soon after, they dispersed again in search of Arachnella.

The banquet hall was in a bad state due to a sudden disaster, no, it was ruined.

Students caught up in the chaos were lying all over the place.

As the poison from the medicine bottle that Hye-ryeong had thrown here and there was spread everywhere, it was difficult to even find a place to lie down, so everyone ended up pressing against the wall.

First of all, because the same incident occurred, people were gathered in the banquet hall without being able to return to their rooms.

Meanwhile, the people gathered in the banquet hall were able to calm their tired bodies and minds, and those who were injured were receiving treatment.

And there were people who were talking about this incident just like anyone else.

“I see. First, let me organize it again as I heard.

Warmhausen’s autodrone, which was on display, caused a runaway.

So the bound Arachnella was released.

The Autodrone somehow succeeded in subduing it, but Arachnella missed it.

The order of events can be summarized like this.”

“If that’s the case, isn’t it really unlucky?

It’s literally an unfortunate accident, right?”

“If that were the case, it would be fortunate.

In the process, ‘an unknown girl broke in’… …

Rather, it is more likely that it was a planned crime that broke down the auto drone.

You don’t think an ordinary human can cooperate with Arachnella, do you?”

“Then who is the culprit?”

“I don’t know. However, as a result of the investigation, I was able to find out some characteristics.

Blue hair, height about 170, or a little shorter.

And judging from the way he wielded a sword, it is highly likely that he is a member of that branch.

However, one student expressed his opinion that he did not see anyone other than students in this place.

There is a clear possibility that the culprit is a student at the academy.”

“Ugh… … A student is a terrorist? That’s right… … ”

“The fact that four years are alive is proof that the end times are coming.

Don’t talk like someone else.”

“Well, it’s too much for us to grow old together!!

So what next? Is there a next time?”

Deborah let out a small sigh as she saw Polcinella snickering at Deborah’s mistreatment and urging her to move on.

“Don’t even think about getting involved in the investigation process in the first place.

You can either quickly go to the front line where you can’t survive after four years of death.”

“They say it’s better to face off against a blank slate, right?

Let’s demonstrate our collective intelligence!!

Put your head and mine together!!”

“I think the difference in the shares of the head will be extreme.

I don’t have to refuse anything that would be a waste of effort.”

Of course, he said this, but the clues were sorely lacking.

If a crime has occurred and there are individual clues that seem completely unconnected, then there must be some connection.

Criminals always leave traces, and it was unknown whether all the clues they had obtained so far were already pointing to the criminal.

When Deborah pursed her lips in contemplation, Polcinella, who pretended to be angry by blowing air into her cheeks, soon seemed to suggest a different agenda.

“Then how about something like this?

You had a fight with another guy earlier, right?

Don’t you think it would be a good idea to consider that guy as well?”

“Hmm. If it’s him… …

At first it looked like brown hair, but at some point it looked like light blonde hair.

He was a little shorter than me… That guy must be around 170 too.

Blue hair and blonde hair. Is it a two-member group?”

“What is your connection with the guys you ran away with?”

“Unknown at this time. But he seemed like a colleague.

First of all, Serkov de Schutzranova was singled out as a drug offender.

There was Monethen’s testimony that it was the descendants of the Marquis Schutzranova and his group, right?

However, it is unnatural to think that drug offenders are increasing their affairs.

If they don’t stay buried as quietly as possible, they can easily be arrested.”

“Then? Didn’t they run away together in the first place because they were all part of the same gang?”

“No. If our goals are aligned…

In that case, someone would have been able to make a proposal first, having accidentally noticed each other’s existence.

For example, trying to quietly escape from this social gathering place.

But most importantly… … ”

Deborah’s eyes slowly narrowed, and she seemed to be lost in thought as she touched her mouth with her hand.

“Why did people who enjoy drugs and terrorists join hands?

By whose thoughts and judgment? And for some mutual benefit? ”

“Ugh… My head hurts… … ”

“I didn’t expect it.”

In response to Deborah’s subsequent advice, Polcinella appeared to be tying her forehead as if her brain capacity was running low.

Deborah, who was looking at this pitifully, slowly got up from her seat and started walking somewhere.

“D!! Where are you going?”

“The opponent is a noble. Eyewitness testimony alone will not be enough.

It is said that they are comparing the list of those who received invitations with those who remain.

However, after the incident, the lockdown was relaxed while the scene was being cleaned up, and quite a few of the students had already left for a long time.

From there, we need to narrow the siege and secure physical evidence.”

“Blue hair and blonde hair… … ”

“Ah… … ”

Polcinella looked like she was yawning while listening to Deborah, who was busy talking and telling her everything she wanted to say.

Deborah suddenly disappeared among them, Polcinella massaged the back of her neck with both hands and muttered, followed by a small sob falling from Anne’s mouth.

“What’s wrong, student? Are you not feeling well?”

“Ah.. no… just… ”

As Anne gently turned her head and slowly turned around, an anxious energy began to rise in Anne’s head.

A vision of Vivian that appeared in the middle of the night one drunken night.

The testimony of the blue and blonde hair left at the scene of the crime was so poor that they resembled the missing Vivienne and Lanier.

‘Vivian… … If you were really here… … ?’

The Count Froden medal that he picked up on their escape route and returned to him, Grenot’s mechanical long sword, and the small medicine bottle that seemed to be stored inside it.

‘Letland’s tears… …

Why this… … ‘

Since I had seen it at the beginning of a social gathering and was eagerly looking for it, recognizing it was not difficult at all.

Letland’s tears themselves would not have been difficult to steal.

It wasn’t in a safe somewhere, but in a display case at the top of the banquet hall where everyone could see it.

The reason it was able to be stored like that was the simple principle of increasing the number of people who see it in the first place and preventing anyone from even thinking about stealing it.

And because there were psychological restrictions that made it possible to damage the nobles’ unique pride in honor and family pride.

However, if Arachnella and Autodrone were making a fuss in the middle of the banquet hall, it wouldn’t have been impossible to take advantage of the commotion and quickly steal it.

But the problem was motivation and relevance.

Why are Letland’s tears in the empty space of this mechanical long sword?

And why did the person holding the mechanical long sword also have this medal?

At that moment, when several servants who came into the banquet hall were seen lifting the cups from the tea table and carrying away the disc used as the tea cup, Anne jumped up from her seat and started running towards that place.

“Wait… !! Wait a minute!!”

“Lady… What’s going on… ?”

“This… It’s a medal… … ? Wicked Game’s… … !!”

In response to Anne’s urgent question, pointing to the tea cup that the servant had picked up, the servant seemed to give the same answer as she had asked.

“That’s right… ? First of all, it is a symbolic and important item of the family.

So I was told to retrieve it first… ?”

The appearance of an object held by an attendant that looks different from his own medal.

In response to the polite reply from the servant who appeared to be an elderly woman, Anne took out a medal from her pocket and held it out to him.

“This… This is a medal too… !! Yes… ?”

“That’s right, lady.

if… Do you have any problem… … ?”

“Perhaps… Other medals…

Does it look different from this… … ?”

The attendant took the medal Anne took out of her gown pocket and opened it for a moment. Then, his eyes widened slightly and he nodded.

“Yes. Umm…

Let’s take this back first…

First of all, I’m telling you this because the social church has become a mess…

That’s the last medal.

Because the head of the family likes pranks… Hehe… ”

Following the servant’s finger pointing to the center of the banquet hall floor, Anne collapsed in her seat as she looked at the family symbol engraved on a round iron plate the size of a table on the floor.

It must have been an amazing disguise to think that someone would think that was a medal.

The rules clearly only said to find the medal, but didn’t say to hold it.

But perhaps that fact was actually leading Anne into panic.

‘It can’t be…

never… how… … !!’

A large medal engraved on the floor, and a medal disguised as a teacup holder.

And the medal he had that was stolen by Serkov.

The fact that every medal had a different appearance meant that the medal he had was unique.

If that’s the case, it means that the medal that should have been Serkov’s has been transferred to someone who had this sword, or at least that person who, as far as he knew, had this sword…

‘It’s also related to Serkov… … ‘

A terribly scary nightmare in a dark hallway that I saw on the day I lost my sword.

And a mysterious terrorist with blue and blonde hair who appears to be in the same group as Serkov, who took the medal from him.

Although the clear intention of those two facts is unknown, they answer only one fact.

And even after passing the flower bed that was the last place he saw her, and thinking about this folding long sword that fell along the path they were fleeing and eventually magically appeared on his waist…

‘Vivian… … !!’

The sight was too vivid to think it was just an illusion.

Those eyes that glared at me with an unpleasant gaze as I walked towards the light of the torch, the only thing shining in the dark hallway.

And on the very day when Vivian pushed him to the ground and he passed out in the flower bed, those eyes that looked down at him with an unpleasant look…

Vivian, who had only been reported missing and no news or even a body found, was none other than here.

‘what happened… It’s happening… … ?

To me… Something else… Are you preparing… … ?’

Common sense tells us that there was absolutely no need to make up a major incident such as disappearance to threaten oneself, and to do something inconvenient for which there was no reason to do it.

Haven’t you been tormenting yourself without doing anything like that until now?

But if something that happened once was a coincidence, something that happened several times is inevitable.

At least since Vivian had been consistently involved in the affairs around him, he also needed to prepare his mind accordingly.

Anne’s eyes, struggling to suppress her trembling heart and clutching the white metal rod hanging from her waist, were being blackened by the fear coming from the unknown.

In the end, due to an unexpected accident, the social gathering held by Count Froden’s family ended up making the decision to abruptly stop the social gathering in the middle of the event for the first time in history.

Even though the social gathering came to an end, there were still joys and memories, new encounters, and sometimes feelings that I wanted to convey.

The social church that embraced so many things came to an end, and once again, everyone seemed to have woken up from a midsummer night’s dream and returned to their seats.

‘Then I…’ … ‘

All that remained was a wounded soul that couldn’t tell whether what it had dreamed was a dream or a nightmare…
