Chapter 577 – Evidence

The basement door of the villa was not locked.
For a place where the culprit of a murder case is imprisoned, it is shabby. Sarah opened the door even though she felt a little puzzled by it.
There was a lot of smoke in the basement.
An unpleasant smell wafted out.
It’s a familiar smell.
It was the smell of a narcotic cigarette called ‘Nakora’ that deviant students would gather to smoke while attending the academy, sometimes in obscure places.
Ruberne was squatting on a small chair, smoking a nakora, with a softly glowing lamp on in the dark basement.
Sarah felt puzzled once again. I heard that Fallon locked him up… And he seemed to be much more comfortable than I thought.
Perhaps sensing that he is popular, Ruberne’s eyes turn to Sarah.
“… Is it Sera? What’s going on?”
Lou Verne asked in a drowsy voice, puffing thick cigarette smoke from his mouth.
Her eyes were slightly open, showing that she was very drunk on Korra.
‘What’s going on… She called herself.’
It was Luverne who sent the note.
“There’s no way you were worried about me… Wow… Do you want to have a smoke too? I have a lot of free time…”
Sarah shook her head.
“To be honest… Carol would be crazy about Nacora… But I don’t think he came because he was worried about me…”
Ruberne’s eyes narrow as he looks at Sarah.
“… Is it because of Carol?””
When Sarah mentioned Carol, she flinched without even realizing it.
Ruberne chuckles when he sees that.
“Well, there’s no need to be so surprised. You know who killed Carol… And you also know that I had no reason to kill Coleman, right? Sarah… I’m a little offended? If you were you, take my side. I thought you would give it to me…”
“…”
“It’s clear that Coleman was hit by that guy named Un-ho? You should be careful of that guy named Un-ho, not me? Don’t you, as well as Fallon, know how dangerous that guy named Un-ho is?”
Luverne speaks for herself step by step.
Sarah just listened to his story with her face frozen.
“Ugh… I’m not even dumb, I’m just talking in a boring way.”
The ring on Ruberne’s index finger glows softly and displays a hologram.
And then a video starts playing.
There were some places where the image quality was somewhat shaken due to the rough flow of magical power in this area, but the scene where Carol was pushed to her death by Sarah was recorded intact.
“…”
The screen ends with Sarah running away after looking at her carol.
“Well… The recording isn’t very good, but don’t you think this will clear me of the charges?”
“Uh, how…”
“Now you seem to be speechless. How did you record it? It’s simple. We were watching you too. Well… There is a more interesting part 2, but that’s not what’s important.”
Ruberne, who was sitting, stands up and approaches Sarah.
Sarah retreats in her hesitation to avoid the approaching Lou Verne. But her basement was small. Soon my back hit the wall and there was no room to back down.
“Sera, you’re doing this too. You knew I wasn’t the culprit, right? But you make such an innocent face… And keep your mouth shut…”
“I’m sorry…”
Sarah eventually bowed her head in guilt and shame and apologized.
Her Lou Verne smiles at her like that.
“Now it makes sense. I know what happened to you and Carol was an accident? I think we can probably find the other culprit because you do it.”
Ruberne’s hand scans Sarah’s thigh.
Sarah’s body stiffened.
“Hehe… Depending on what you do, this evidence may disappear?”
Lou Verne waved the link ring on her index finger in front of Sarah and said.
“Sera, you don’t have to be so scared. I don’t have any hobbies that I’m forced to do, right? If you don’t want to, you can leave here. All I have to do is submit this evidence to the investigators tomorrow.”
Ruberne’s hand, which was climbing up Sarah’s thigh, grabs her buttocks.
“Hi…”
Sarah was at a loss as to Luvern’s harassment.
The sight of Sarah like that stimulated Luverne’s lust. Lou Verne glanced at her lips without realizing it. The penis inside her pants was so erect that it hurt.
Lou Verne sighed and began to unfasten the belt of her pants.
“Sera. You don’t have to worry, I’m a bit of a mouthful. Ah… And then you were interested in Fallon. Don’t be upset. In fact, I’m 100 times better than that guy. As for what kind of guy he is… Wow!!”
Blood spattered on Sarah’s face.
A dagger was sticking out of Ruberne’s neck.
Sarah was embarrassed by the sudden incident, but froze at the cruel sight.
“Big, wow…!”
Lu Verne stumbles and turns her head.
Fallon was standing there.
Ruberne looked at him with a distorted face and tried to say something…
“Kruk… Kruk…”
Because my neck was pierced, I just made a sound like phlegm and fell down.
Sarah, who belatedly realized the situation, fell from Ruberne’s body.
“Sera. Are you okay?”
“… Uh, yes…”
Sarah looked at the dead Ruberne with trembling eyes.
“I couldn’t help it because you seemed dangerous…”
Fallon said with a sad face.
“Yes…”
… Could it really have been helped?
Such a question arises in Sarah’s head. Even though Lu Verne had molested him, he had to kill him to stop it…
“Actually, I’m 100 times better than that guy. What kind of guy is he…”
Sarah’s last unfinished words from Lou Verne lingered in her head.

The day has dawned.
Another day passed at the lakeside villa.
Is today the 3rd day… Or the 4th day?
The troublemakers were a bit quiet today.
Even though the day was bright, Sarah and her group did not show what they were doing inside the villa.
If an investigator from the Public Security Agency says he is coming today… He will arrive by noon at the earliest, or by sunset at the latest.
Since I wasn’t in a hurry to return home to Zephia, I decided to enjoy my free time today.
“It’s been a long time since I came to a wonderful lake, but it’s a shame to just go back! Let’s go swimming!”
At Sunni’s suggestion, we headed to the lakeside.
Suni and Celestia are swimming in the lake.
I lay on the sunbed and enjoyed sunbathing while admiring their swimsuits.
The water in the lake was clear, and the scenery itself was nice, so except for the lack of amenities, it wasn’t a bad resort.
It was an overly peaceful scene considering that two people had died.
Herenia was in a camping car.
Fallon and Sarah and their group were locked in the villa when I returned yesterday, so they don’t know that Herenia has come.
I decided to hide it for now until I parted ways with them.
This was because there was something a little ambiguous about explaining the existence of Herenia.
The great thing Helena left behind? Legacy, Herenia.
Even though I allowed Herenia to accompany her somewhat impulsively… I couldn’t quite think of a way for her to utilize her.
〈Tsk tsk. If you just ignore the naked body and move on. Are you regretting it now? 〉
Cosmos gives reprimand.
‘Regret… Man Park Un-ho. I have no regrets.’
I think about my conversation with Herenia yesterday.
“Herenia, are you good at anything?”
“… Are you good at it? I don’t know…?”
“I was expecting something because it was an android made by Helena, but nothing special?”
Herenia flinched at Sunni’s words.
“Nothing special…
I am
Called the goddess of magic engineering
You have Helena’s memories?
Maybe
On the side of magic engineering
In terms of knowledge, no one can come close to me except Helena!”
It was only then that Herenia realized that something was not right about her, so she desperately tried to emphasize her strengths.
Since she is an android, her physical appearance appears to be stronger than that of a human, but her fighting power seems difficult to predict.
It’s magic engineering… What do you do with it?
It wasn’t like I was going to start a company in Zephiria… I was planning on leaving this planet anyway.
〈They’re just food bugs.〉
‘Uh huh… Cosmos, isn’t that too harsh?’
〈 Oh my, this is ridiculous. I was thinking that too. And it doesn’t matter if you can’t hear it anyway, right? I am a nobleman. What do you think Chaos would say if he saw that kid?〉
Chaos, who spews out endlessly merciless harsh words toward those he considers inferior to him.
Herenia may regret her choice to follow me.
How about I discover her new talents myself? I wonder what kind of talent the android that Helena created herself will have.
〈Low quality…〉
Cosmos is misunderstanding. I am full of good intentions for Herenia.
As I was leisurely enjoying the sun while thinking about such useless things, Fallon approached me.
“… What is it?”
I glanced at him and asked.
And Fallon reported unexpected news.
“What? Again… Dead?”
“Yes… They tried to attack Sarah, so I had no choice… I…”
Guy Fallon said with a guilty expression.
They are funny guys.
They come to play, and one person dies a day.
Was this something that would lead to so many deaths?
It’s true that he deserves to die, as he murdered two people who could be called friends… But what on earth did he do to let him run rampant? Even if management had been good, this absurd situation would not have occurred.
“Why are you telling me this?”
In fact, it was none of my business whether the killer was dead or not.
“I suspected Unho to be the culprit in the murder case. And Suni almost suffered great harm, so I wanted to apologize.”
I bowed my head like this, and I didn’t have anything to say.
“Okay, go ahead. Oh, and when do you think the investigator will come?”
“I don’t know exactly, but would you like to come inside today?”
However, the police investigator did not arrive until nightfall.
