"... Alicia"

Master Duke shrugged as he stared at me.

"Someone erased Duke's memory, woo..."

Covered Jill's mouth with one hand before Jill said it to the end. I'd be confused if I told you they erased my memory in front of me.

"What kind of relationship do you have with me?

"I don't know."

"How do you know about me?

"Master Duke is famous."

That's what I said and smiled lightly.

If you don't remember me like this all the time, it'll be a normal maiden game development, right? Mr. Liz and Master Duke are bound......

"You said Alicia."

"Yes."

"Are you injuring your eyes?

Master Duke said that with a strange look at my eyelid.

… I guess I have to explain it again.

"I don't have eyes, not injuries."

I raised the corner of my mouth higher and said so with my voice lower than usual. Master Duke solidified for a moment in my words. Even though his face is with him, he's different from the usual Duke.

Duke's eyes shine with the light he plugs through the window, but the color of his eyes is a little deeper than usual. It's like losing some light.

"What happened?

"... is the punishment for killing people."

"" Eh. "

Henri, your brother and Jill's voice overlapped. He looks at me with a surprised look.

I have to remind Mr. Duke that I'm a bad girl. I rarely get a chance like this. Besides, in fact, I've killed people sometimes when they were kidnapped...

"Did you kill people?

That's what Master Duke heard with a lot of wrinkles between his eyebrows. Sure, it's not normal for a girl who's not even a knight to kill people.

"Yeah, is there a problem?

I smiled a little and said so with my neck tilted in a bright tone. This is a bad girl!

"That's light."

My words seem to have bothered me...... I can't brag about killing people, but I couldn't help it in that situation.

"I'm going now."

That said, Master Duke turned his back on us and walked away.

... I wonder if they made the impression of a bad girl safely. I dropped off Master Duke's back with that in mind.

Only Duke's footsteps echoed in the long, wide hallway everywhere.

I wonder who did it.

We need to find the killer.

"I'm pretty much hated, so a lot of candidates are coming up."

It's pretty hard to find the killer. I have no idea.

"Duke was sweet to Alicia this morning, wasn't he?"

"I've pissed you off..."

"Then, meet Emma, meet Jane, meet Curtis and Finn"

"I wonder how you got to meet them, but now I better not ask."

"... someone's challenging me."

"Even if it's a challenging letter, why are you doing it so badly?

"You're glad it's decided. Bad girls sell fights to one person."

"I know it's kind of weird... but if Alicia's good, that's okay"

Jill said so as she gave up convincing me, with a slight look on her face. Henri, your brother has the same look as Jill.

... you can't buy a fight unless you know who's challenging you. I'm not a detective, it's impossible to find the killer, is it? Oh, I don't know what to do.

"In the meantime, let's gather our allies to discuss this."

"Do you rely on people? This is my problem."

"Sometimes, we need a compromise. Especially since this case is going to be a pain in the ass."

Jill said that with a serious look. Brother Henri snorts at Jill's words as well.

"Okay."

That's what I said with a slightly dissatisfied look on my face.
