Chapter 94 – The Magic City and the Great Detective
“Puhuh… I get it. By the way. I’m thinking of doing something for you two soon. Help me out.”
“Day..?”
Seong-il is puzzled by Elysia’s sudden words. Seeing him like that, Sia said.
“I told you the other day. I decided to raise the reputation of our pants boss by deliberately losing. Don’t you remember?”
“Ah… You mean that?”
“Yeah.. Shouldn’t we get ready now?”
“Um… What should I prepare…?”
As if she was confused, as Seongil did not let go of her puzzled expression, Elysia smiled and explained her own plan.
“I’ll say I’m going to rob an art piece in the private art gallery of the Lohengrim Group this weekend. If Detective Charlotte and Assistant Detective Seongil come, I’ll pretend to be defeated and run away because of their performance. “
“Oh… I see… Wait…! The Lohengrim Group…? Have you ever heard of it…?”
Seong-il frowns at the name he has heard a lot. Seeing him like that, Elysia answered with a smirk.
“Well~ think about it~ well~~”
“Okay…”
Seong-il thought deeply about her words. A thought popped into his mind.
“Police Illina…?”
“Answer~”
Elysia, who likes to laugh like a child at Sungil’s answer. Looking at her like that, he continued her words as if her surname was absurd.
“Why are you there?”
“What… According to the standard logic, the Lohengrim group is rich and has a lot of treasures such as art?”
“…Really for that reason?”
“Of course not. The second is to help the assistant detective?”
“…Help me?”
Seongil narrowed his eyes and glared at Elysia. Looking at him like that, she replied with a playful expression.
“Yes~ It was only one class, but I heard that the loyalty that our police officer Illina showed to assistant detective Seong-il was so great?”
“…”
“Then~ If I made it a little more intimate, wouldn’t you be even more loyal to Assistant Detective Seongil…?”
“Uh… I don’t need her loyalty here any more…? No, no!”
“Well, is that so? Our flirtatious assistant detective?”
“Why is the story of a flirt appearing all of a sudden…?”
“Put… Pretending to be naive… Anyway, this is my plan…”
Having said that, she took out her magic drawing and showed it to her Seongil. Her mysterious magic tool, like a moving CAD drawing engraved on a white board.
“Wow… That’s amazing…?”
“Ah… Well~ I like my magic tools, but… I’m still explaining it, but should you focus?”
“Oh sorry.”
At Elisia’s non-reprimanding, Seong-il put on a grimace and licked her lips, thinking to himself.
‘Did he think like me when he saw my smartphone?’
Whether or not she knew what Seongil was thinking, Elysia continued her explanation while concentrating on the situation.
“Now…! I’m going to send a notice this Thursday, and I’m going to infiltrate and retreat in this way and in this way…”
Elysia’s operation has been going on for a long time.
Seong-il listened to her plan seriously and began to make plans for her.
For a long time, they shared their opinions and made plans.
They reviewed the agreed results again and began to point out the shortcomings.
“Hmm… It seems to be fine, but the variable blocking is a problem. It wouldn’t have been a problem if you were just robbing things by yourself, but you have to take the risk to deliberately hand over credit to Charlotte… It could be dangerous. ..?”
Elysia agreed and said, nodding her head at such a reasonable judgment.
“That’s right. That’s why it would be nice if Assistant Detective Seongil helped me this time.”
“Huh? Me? How…?
“I want the field information to be returned to me in real time without the officers’ knowledge.”
“Eh…? How…?”
Looking at Seong-il, who is puzzled by her, Elysia smiles softly, then takes out one of her bracelets from her arms and hands it to her Seong-il.
“…Bracelet?”
“Yes. To be precise, it’s a magic tool paired with the magic mask I’m wearing.”
“Hmm… Really? What is it for…?”
“Will you follow me for a second…?”
“…?”
At Sungil’s words, Elysia silently takes his hand and leads him to the bathroom. After leading Seongil to the bathroom, she looks around and closes the door.
“What are you doing…?”
When asked about her surname, puzzled by her sudden behavior, she laughed quietly without answering, and took the mask out of her arms.
“That…?”
A pure white cat mask from Elysia’s arms. Without saying a word, she handed the mask to Seong-il and answered him.
“Do you want to try it on?”
Elysia recommends wearing the mask she uses when stealing. Seong-il had many questions about her behavior, but she did not ask questions and quietly put on the mask as she said.
After Seong-il finished putting on the mask, Elysia quietly opened the door and looked around her.
She looked around, and when she was done making sure no one was there, she quietly came out the door, closed the door, and spoke to Seong-il outside the door.
“Wait a minute~”
Not long after she said that, another clatter of footsteps was heard on the other side of her door.
After a while, the sound of Elysia’s footsteps could not be heard. When Seong-il stands there blankly, bored with her behavior as she left without telling her the reason. Suddenly, he heard Elysia’s voice in his ears.
“Can you hear me?”
“!!!”
Elysia’s voice suddenly reached her own ears. Seong-il is startled, and she starts shouting into the air.
“Huh? What was the radio function built in?”
However, Elysia did not respond to Sungil’s words.
Seong-il continued to talk to her, holding onto her mask and pressing it here and there, wondering if she had made a mistake.
However, he didn’t hear an answer from Elysia, and by the time he panicked. The old woman’s answer came out once again.
“If you’re speaking through a mask, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s possible to communicate one-way with the bracelet.”
‘It was something like that.’
Shortly after saying that, Elysia returned to the bathroom. Retrieving her mask from her seongil, she began asking questions.
“Did you hear what I just said without any problems?”
“Yeah. It sounded fine. But why are you asking about that? Wasn’t it yours…?”
Elysia answered with a wry smile at such a holy day’s question.
“Until now, I had been working alone without a partner, so I knew that this magic tool had a communication function, but I didn’t have a chance to use it or experiment with it.”
“Ah~~”
“That’s why. In that sense, do you understand how I asked you to divulge information?”
“Yes. I understand.”
They made a frame for how to put together like that. Elysia continued her speech, thanking her holy day.
“Thank you! First of all, since we roughly exchanged methods, I’ll issue a notice this afternoon. After that, we’ll make a follow-up plan.”
“Sure. Perhaps if you send a notice, Inspector Lestras will call us through the hotline so we can snag some additional operations. That will make the operation more sophisticated.”
“Great!”
So they talked about the strategy in a friendly atmosphere, and when they finished talking, Charlotte came down to the first floor and started greeting with a loud voice.
“Hello guys!!”
Seeing the two whispering in the living room, Charlotte greeted them.
At her appearance, Seong-il was greeted with a smile and replied.
“Joe.. Good morning!! Detective!”
“Ohhhhh! Seongil-kun too! Oh~~ By the way, the two of you are hot since morning? Is the couple confirmed?”
Charlotte makes fun of Seong-il and Sia. Seeing her like that, Sia casually accepts her prank.
“Whoa… Is that so? If so, it might be~”
After passing Charlotte’s words casually, Sia put the breakfast on her Charlotte’s desk and said.
After such a peaceful day, the next day.
The members of the Moriarty Detective Agency spend a peaceful daily life no different from the previous day.
A red-haired police officer who was familiar with them came and greeted them.
“Hello..!”
“Oh..! Officer Illina! Nice to meet you!!”
Charlotte welcomes Ilyna to her own detective office. She looked at Ilyna and asked her reason for her visit.
“By the way, why did you come here…? Maybe it’s about 『The Club』…?”
“No…! I came with something else…!”
“…Anything else?”
“Yes… A letter from a thief has arrived! That’s why I’m here to ask Detective Charlotte for your cooperation.”
“Are you talking about the warning letter from the phantom thief Yuftesia!!”
“Yes!! That’s right…!!”
“Excuse me!! The appearance of my nemesis…! Detective Moriarty! I will gladly accept the Metropolitan Police Department’s request for cooperation in order to punish the villain!!”
“Thank you!! Excellent detective…!!”
‘It’s been a while since you’ve been saying shit…’
Seong-il gets annoyed at Charlotte’s madness he hasn’t seen in a long time. Then he intervened in the conversation between the two of them, pretending not to know the incident, and started asking her questions.
“Where and when was the notice letter sent?”
“Yes! This time, the phantom thief Euphthesia sent a notice that she would steal the great masterpiece 『Moonlight Night』 From the Lohengrim Private Art Museum!”
“My God! Are you talking about that famous painting!!”
“Yes.. That..!!”
“This is absolutely unacceptable!! You Charlotte Moriarty!! I will definitely stop that theft!!”
“Great detective…!!”
Police officer Illina looks at Charlotte’s bluff and looks moved.
Seong-il, fed up with the endless madness of the two, quickly cut off his words and changed the topic by bringing up the main topic.
“Then, is there anything we need to prepare in advance? Can we just go to the site right away?”
At the words of such a holy day, Illina changes her attitude and gets to the point.
“Ah…! The thief wrote the notice on Thursday evening, tomorrow, so I think you two should come to the scene by noon tomorrow and talk about the defense measures with Inspector Lestras…!”
“Aha…”
“And, the Metropolitan Police Department is planning to dispatch personnel from today on the possibility of a phantom thief’s advance invasion.”
“I see. Then we can talk the rest of the story with Inspector Lestras tomorrow at noon.”
“That’s right! Master Seongil!!”
“…Why is the Master suddenly appearing?”
“Ah… Ah…!”
“That’s Okay.”
“Yes… I’m sorry, Master Seong-il! But…”
“…?”
“If you’re going to be dispatched at noon tomorrow, you’ll need to get enough rest this evening. What are you going to do with your training today?”
“Ah… That’s right…”
To the conversation between the two, Charlotte replied as if not to worry.
“Just come back during the day! Seongil-kun!!”
“Ah… Is that okay?”
“Of course! There’s nothing urgent anyway, so let’s set up a day to feel the actual combat with appropriate sparring and training during the day…! Wouldn’t that be of greater help in the field?!”
“Ah…! Detective! You are a sharp intellectual!!”
“Ohhohohohoho!! You’re welcome.. Hehe!!”
“In that sense, can I go right now?”
“Please do so…!”
After saying that, Seong-il started moving to the office with police officer Illina.
Police officer Illina walking on the road with Seong-il.
She asked, addressing her to Seongil.
“Um… Master Seongil?”
“Yes why?”
“That… It’s still business hours, so it’s a bit too much to go to the training place…”
“It’s okay, let’s go.”
“Yes…?! Will it be okay?”
“Make excuses for me and Charlotte. If you say something, tell me.”
“Huh..?!”
“Don’t live according to FM~ Sometimes you goof around like this. Don’t you?”
“Soo… I don’t think training is idle…”
“Hmm… Are you talking back to the master? Now?”
“Heeik?! I’m sorry…! Master…!”
“Okay. First of all, I don’t like your attitude today. This part will lead to corporal punishment at the end of the training. You’ll have to set the standard for hitting the butt like last time and tell me. Do you understand?”
Police officer Illina blushed at Seongil’s words of ‘butt punishment’. He nodded her head and replied to Seongil.
“Ah… I see, Master Seongil!”
Contrary to the negative content of the word ‘corporal punishment’, police officer Illina makes a strange expression as if she is excited after hearing the word.
Looking at her like that, I thought of her holy day.
‘Hmm… He… Can’t it be… Is he also a mazo? It’s ambiguous because it’s a character that hasn’t appeared before… Considering the consistent sexual preferences of the game creators who created this world, there’s nothing strange about being a Mazo…?’
Seong-il swallows saliva after thinking so.
