Chapter 111 – The Magic City and the Great Detective
Officers suddenly covering their noses and mouths in pain…
“Poison gas?! What an evil!!”
“Khehe…! Everyone shut your mouth!!”
‘Tear gas to be precise…’
Officers suffering from gaseous components that hurt their eyes and respiratory system. A single arrow flies over their heads.
Clink!!
“What!!”
And the portrait of a woman standing by the window.
“It’s a phantom thief! It looks like it came here from the 3rd floor!! Everyone endure the pain for a while and fire the shock baton!!”
Lestras and his men desperately breathe and use magic. Among them, a policeman suddenly runs towards Charlotte and Seong-il with a picture.
“Huh!? What!! Wilson? Are you crazy?!”
Officers startled by the sudden betrayal of their comrades.
As if laughing at their words, the officer runs with all his might and throws water balloons at the museum wall.
Chew!!
When the water balloon hits a wall about the height of the second floor and bursts, strangely colored paint is smeared everywhere, and everyone is puzzled by his actions.
Chewy!!
The painted walls begin to tear like paper.
“What!! Crazy?! Cool..!”
“What did you do!?”
“Um… I confirmed that there must be a stone wall?!”
Officers surprised by Euphthesia’s shocking technology One officer in the midst of such a situation comes to his senses and asks Inspector Lestras a question.
“Kuluk… Cool… Inspector! The author seems to be a disguised thief… Cool… Shall we fire in that direction?”
“Cool… No!!”
“Yes…? Why…?”
“Kuluk…Kuluk… Damn bastard, the daughter of the Minister of Finance… No…! Can’t you see the famous detective standing there? If he gets hurt, you and me are dudes…!”
Inspector Lest Lass covers his mouth and raises his free hand to slit his throat. The officer’s complexion goes pale at his action, swallows his dry saliva and nods his head.
“It’s a hand-to-hand fight!! Kids, run!!”
“Khehe… Khehe…! Yes!!
Officers rushing towards such a phantom thief in unison. At them, Euphthesia throws one of her marbles.
“…?”
Flash!!!
And an orb that explodes while emitting a tremendous amount of light. In the light, they closed their eyes all at once, and Euphthesia, taking advantage of the situation, charged Charlotte once again and attempted a headbutt.
“Kyaaang..! Again…! It hurts!!!”
This time, an idiot is standing there, innocently beaten (..) Charlotte. Leaving her behind, Euphthesia climbs her collapsed two-story wall and roars as she looks at her Charlotte.
“Oops!! Detective Moriarty!! You’re disturbing me again…! Hehe…!!”
“Huh?”
Charlotte is embracing 『Moonlight Night』 Without realizing it. While she, ignorant of her English, is unable to grasp her situation, her Seongil roars as she looks at Euphthesia.
“Hah!
“Huh… I wondered if it was a rumor because rumors were flying around that the Metropolitan Police Department fighters had succeeded in breaking the seal… I thought it was true! I won’t forget this disgrace! Let’s see, the Moriarty combination!!”
Having said that, Euphthesia quickly ran through the hole in the wall on the second floor, and this time Charlotte didn’t know why she had defeated the thief. Stood
And Seong-il, who roars to get out of such an awkward situation.
“Wow!! Once again, Detective Charlotte Moriarty defeated Euftesia!!!”
And at the cry of such a holy day, Inspector Lestras comes to his side like a ghost and roars.
“Whatever!! Everyone!! Not praising the great Lady Moriarty… But the detective!!”
“Charlotte! Charlotte!! Charlotte!!!”
“Great detective!! Charlotte!!”
Charlotte, like the previous time, has become a hero of the people without knowing why. She raised her hand at them and shouted with excitement, her face flushed at the sight.
“Ohohohohoho! Justice wins!! Isn’t it? Everyone?!”
“Right!!!”
Charlotte and Seong-il enjoyed the enthusiastic cheers of the officers under the command of Inspector Lestras for a long time. They returned to the Moriarty Detective Agency after receiving the same warm hospitality from the Lohengrim Group as before.
Next day.
“Assistant Seongil Detective! Is there an Assistant Detective Seongil?!”
Someone calling Charlotte from the Detective Agency with a bright voice. Seong-il woke up drinking coffee beans brought from reality and went out to meet her guests.
“Uh…? Illina?!”
A wild beautiful policewoman with impressive red hair appeared in front of such a holy day. As soon as her holy day came to meet her, she ran up to him with a thrilled expression, grabbed her hands, and shook them vigorously.
“Yesterday!! Detective Moriarty and Assistant Detective Seongil defeated the phantom thief at my family’s private art gallery, Illina Lohengrim personally witnessed it!! I was so moved that I came here to say hello!!!”
“…The one who stopped the phantom thief was detective Charlotte Moriarty?”
“Hmm! Let’s get past that trivial thing!!”
“…Is it trivial?”
“Anyway! So Master! I’m here to greet you on behalf of the Lohengrim family!!”
“Uh… Yes…”
Seongil was standing awkwardly with a very annoying expression on her face when Elysia approached and greeted Illina with a bright smile.
“Oh my gosh, are you calling me Master in public now? Hehe.”
“Oh…!!”
Irina, realizing that she had unknowingly used her private titles in public, and as she was blushing in shame, someone from upstairs began to make a noise.
“Good morning..! Huh? Officer Ilya?”
“Oh! Detective, good morning!”
“Oh…! Why did you come here?”
“Yes! First of all, as a descendant of the Lohengrim family, I came to thank you for protecting the family treasure! Second, because of the mission…”
“Oh!! Mission!!”
Was it because he was intoxicated by yesterday’s victory? Charlotte was extremely excited about the ‘mission’ and asked Ilana as she ran.
“No mission! What? New? Old?”
Charlotte pours out questions at Illina like a rapid-fire cannon. Ilya, weighed down by such spiritedness, barely began to answer her, stuttering her words.
“Uh… That… Uh… First of all, it’s not new. It’s about 『The Club』 I mentioned before…”
“Oh!! 『The Club』!! Are you talking about those human traffickers?!”
“Yes…”
“Ohhhhh…! Is it our turn now!!”
“That… That’s right…”
Charlotte, who is full of excitement, drives Ilina. Seeing her like that, Seong-il feels the need for mediation, and she intervenes between the two and talks to them.
“Detective. Illina seems to be burdened by the reputation of the detective, so may I, the detective’s assistant, ask a question?”
“…Fame?”
Charlotte blushes at the word ‘fame’ that pops out of Seong-il’s mouth out of the blue. Seong-il, realizing that her own choice of words had worked, quickly excluded her and started a conversation with Ilyna.
“So… What kind of request is it, Officer Illina?”
“Ah.. It’s nothing else, the Metropolitan Police Department is ready to investigate. I would like you to investigate the surroundings of 『The Club』 From next week.”
“Aha…! Is there anything we need to investigate…?”
“It’s nothing special! I think you’ll have to go around 『The Club』 And collect information, and find out if Logan faction and 『The Club』 Are related.”
“Hmm… That’s simple.”
“Yes. We also have no intention of making unreasonable demands on the Moriarty Detective Agency…”
“What!!”
Charlotte suddenly interrupts their conversation and shouts. She yelled at her and then went on to say her words.
“Of course, we should also investigate the inside of 『The Club』! Of course!!”
“Yes…? That… That’s too dangerous…”
“I’ll do it!! I’ll do it!”
“Yes…”
She is embarrassed by Charlotte’s demeanor, who shouts hard at her, and Ilyna doesn’t know what to do. To help her, Seong-il once again intervened in the conversation and started her mediation.
“Let’s go…! Detective, let’s just arrange it among our office staff. What authority does police officer Illina have? Doesn’t it?”
“Oh-ho-ho-ho, that’s right!”
“Anyway, since you said that an investigation is possible from next week, we will prepare fully and report unusual matters at that time.”
“Okay! Assistant detective!!”
After answering that, police officer Illina continued to talk to Seong-il.
“And… This is private, but…”
“…?”
“My family would like to give you a present to repay you two. Is there anything you would like…”
“I’m done~!”
Charlotte’s resolute remarks, befitting a young lady from a rich family. She doesn’t seem to care about rewards. Moving to her own desk, she gave an additional reply to Irina.
“The reward I received from the Metropolitan Police Department is enough~ Among the rewards given by the Lohengrim family, I’ll give my share of the reward to Assistant Detective Seongil~ I’m done with my meal…”
After saying that, Charlotte dragged her bagel, Elisia, and disappeared into her restaurant.
“Whoa… Did you see our detective? It’s a mess… Because of it, the martial arts class is suspended for the time being.”
“Ah…! That’s…!”
“Even if you’re sorry, bear with it. We’ll resume it next week.”
“Ah…! Yep!! Master…!”
“Anyway, a reward?”
“Ah…! My family protected a precious treasure, but it doesn’t make sense to do nothing… They say they want to reward me with something!”
“Hmm…”
Seong-il frowns at Illina’s word ‘compensation’ and ponders it. Seeing him like that, Illina actively started explaining to him.
“Master Seong-il! Is there anything you want? If it’s not too much, I’m willing to give it to you!”
“Ummm… Is that so?”
“Sure!!”
At her words, Seong-il began to tell her story about the items she wanted in the world of 『The Magic City and the Detective』.
“Then… I don’t care if it’s for low grade industrial use, so can I get a small gem like a ruby or sapphire, or something like a decent impact wand or advanced haste? Any one of the three doesn’t matter…”
“Ah…! Would you be okay with just that?”
‘Huh…? I thought all three of them were unreasonable demands, but they’re just…?’
Seong-il was speechless for a moment at Illina’s attitude. Looking at such a holy day, Ilya continued her words.
“As expected, Master Seong-il!! If you were a normal detective, you would have made huge financial demands!! You made demands related to the mission!! You are truly noble!”
“…It’s okay, it doesn’t matter if it’s one of the three, so if possible, tell me, and if it’s too much, you can just give it in cash.”
“Don’t worry! Master!! I won’t let you down!!
“Yes, yes… Come early in the morning and eat some rice. The food here is delicious.”
“Ohh…! Thank you! Master!!”
Seong-il felt the rush of fatigue in the morning. He brought Ilyna to her dining room, served her a meal, enjoyed her small talk, and then moved to her place.
‘By the way… Today is the day the teleportation ring is on cooldown, right? Now, let’s go to the 『Battle of the Furious』 And try to escape…’
For quite a long time, Seong-il couldn’t visit the world of “The Legend of Laughter”. As he was able to use the teleportation ring, he decided to go back to the world of 『Laughs of Martial Arts』 For a while to use the ring to escape the pursuit of the Murim Meng.
‘And… I’m also saying 『Cheonji Yin-Yang Mating God』 Is a 4-star…? That’s why I’m going to ask the sage about how to train in the future.’
‘Also, I have to prepare to go to another world in order to gain practical experience, and in order to do that, I need to focus on swordsmanship that shows superior ability in killing in the future. It is true that bankruptcy priesthood is also a very powerful martial art… But once it goes beyond 8 seconds, it has a fatal disadvantage that it takes a load on the body, and since it is definitely a martial art, it is less effective in killing enemies than swordsmanship…’
After thinking like that, Seong-il made excuses for a while and went back to his room, and after returning to reality, Seong-il took a few items and started entering the world of 『Laughing Martial Arts』.
Thus, Seong-il returned to the world of 『Laughing Martial Arts』. When he confirmed that he had come to the inn room where he had been with Eunwol the previous time, he opened his inventory and took out the teleportation ring, recalling the way he had used it before and starting to open the portal to the meeting place with the Saemaul.
