4-13: A Series of Fortunate Events (2/2)

So thats what he meant by knowing only the name Seriously, just who is that guy?

He didnt think anything of it at the time, but now that phrase weighed heavily on him.

He thought hed simply gotten infamous because he just kept doing as he pleased, but as Shinichi gradually turned out to know more than he seemed and even started calling him a fake rocket scientist, he started to grow anxious.

Has he noticed? He wondered.

Wernher Braun, or rather Wernher von Braun, was the name of a rocket scientist from long ago. And Shinichi called him fake.

In other words, Shinichi knew from the start that Wernher was a fake.

When he told him that he knew about his name, what he really meant was that he knew where his pseudonym() came from.

Or perhaps it meant that he knew about his real name.

So, what are you going to do, BND-kun?

Eek!? Ha, ha ha Finally showing your true colors are we, Destroyer of Smiles? Yeah, thats my luck for you alright.

When the fox girl called out to him from behind, his face cramped.

BND, the intelligence service of the federal republic of Germany, an acronym that the common man wouldnt know about was exactly what she used to call out to him.

So what does the German spy intend to do now?

All the while standing right behind him.New novel chapters are published on

No matter how one looked at it, her position was clearly a threat.

Much less turn to her, he didnt even want to look up to her.

N-No one in this school has come out safe after making an enemy out of you. That side of you really feels similar to Nakamura.

Fu fu, its an honor So?

She wasnt about to let him weasel his way out of here, so he better answer quick.

At the very least, thats what it felt like she was telling him. He felt like a dead man.

It seemed the dark rumors that followed this girl were indeed true; hence, Wernher (fake) couldnt choose to play dumb.

The number of students and teachers whove been crushed after having their weakness grasped by her did not number just one or two.

Because of that he couldnt just come out and ask her whose spy she was.

It was somewhat an open secret that spies from various nations have been sent to this city.

Of course, that included Garesto too. Thats why he thought she was a spy as well.

He could try and pursue the topic more, but he didnt want to be erased.

You might not believe me, but the department Im in charge of is the technology department. I did receive reports about him, but hes not under my jurisdiction.

Thats why he did something so reckless as to tell her the truth.

Besides, I took this job precisely because I could also study at this academy. Ive always been a science guy, you see, so I dont really care about anything else. Really. Of course, Ill talk as much as Im asked, but I wont do anything more than that. I dont want to. I wouldnt want to make an enemy out of you, him, and Padyuel.

It wouldnt make sense to make an enemy out of them. He didnt love his country that much, and he certainly valued himself more.

With everything lined up so nicely, she couldnt help but be creeped out.

Especially, when she considered how the four people he became affiliated with were people that never connected much in the first place.

The assistant teacher of 1 D, the top student of the special class, the engineer that did as he pleased, and the second ranked student who was a problem child.

Although they all knew about each other from the rumors, they werent even acquainted enough to call out to each other.

But because of Shinichi, these four people with no relation to each suddenly became acquainted.

Moreover, in a manner that could be said to be purely a coincidence based on how he acted.

At the very least, it was a coincidence as far as her and Padyuel were concerned.

Nothing has ended just yet, but it feels so disgusting already.

She could sense that something was about to happen. Thats why this series of coincidences was so terrifying to her.

When she thought back to it, although Kutoria didnt suffer any casualties, the terrorist incident occurred on the day of his transfer. She almost wanted to suspect if it was really a coincidence().

Especially, considering the same terrorists were riding the ship that Shinichi happened to be on.

And behind all of that was the visage of that white masks black mist.

Theres no use brooding over it Hey, Ari-chan, lets go already. Well have to check the classes until morning, so hurry up and decide which ones youll visit.

Huh, ah, yes! Its a job he trusted me with, so I, Aristel F. Padyuel, will definitely carry it out with all my strength!

Myuhi shook her head and called out to the girl she was seeing in a new light.

That same girl started getting heated up by herself and even went as far as to make an oath to do her best.

Apparently, she was really elated to be entrusted by Shinichi with a job.

So much so that she didnt even seem to hear Myuhi.

How could she still be so clueless when shes like this?

Myuhi wryly smiled as she clenched her hands.

Sure, sure, she shook her head as she hurried the girl with a push from behind.

As it turns out, Myuhi didnt realize that she too was acting unnaturally.

There was no reason for her to threaten a spy from another country.

Shinichi had already warned him to the point where his legs gave out.

So what point was there in making doubly sure that he wouldnt do anything?

Perhaps she was trying to keep him from poking his nose in her business.

After all, she couldnt allow the spy of another country to start sniffing around Shinichi.

But in the end, did she really have that in mind when she threatened him?

Perhaps at that time, she was merely trying to protect() something.

Unfortunately, the person herself was the most clueless about that.
