920 Small ripples, part 24 - essence ④ -

"Well, what do you think? In Atashi's view, his body was slashed after he was decapitated. There is evidence of a human body when it was alive, called" life reaction. "I don't care if they tear my body apart, I can find out where they tear me apart from. Well, it's a unique skill, so I can't imitate it."

"I see, are you a skilled pharmacist"

"That sort of thing. But when I tried to" assemble "Ips' body, I realized I wasn't smart enough. Someone must have decapitated him and taken him away. And the neck was severed very well. If you cut him in the front, he's an unimaginable user. If you caught Ips off guard, he's a hell of a head. Either way, it's very troublesome. He was in the underground waterway then."

"Do you have any idea who did this?

"I honestly don't know that. Jake's classmate, who escaped, apparently wanted to be the legendary General Dortmund, but if it's true, he must have done it. That's all I know."

"... no, I have another idea"

Lisa remembered another, slightly sensed one. No, I remembered 'something I couldn't sense' to be precise.

"I thought it was Lisa's mistake, but at that time there was room in the groundwaterway to call it blank. Lisa wondered if it was an undetectable place because of the terrain of the underground waterway, but if that was a deliberately stretched junction, that junction would seem unusual."

"Why? It's not uncommon to have a connection that prevents sensing of sensors."

"Miranda. If the junction is spherical, so be it, but what if it were in the form of rattles as if it were to fit the shape of an underground waterway? Do you think you can normally tension such a distorted form of junction?

"Ugh."

Miranda couldn't argue. Because I thought that was theoretically impossible. No, you won't be able to, but it was an event to the extent that even Miranda suffered from understanding how fine control of magic could be exercised to imitate such finesse.

Lisa continues.

"If that was intentionally unfolding, there could have been something else lurking in that place. And that can't be a black magician. Because there's not much reason for them to hide themselves. And it will also be difficult to sneak into the Arnelian junction they have strengthened"

"Um, that's covered by the eagle. Let's assume that the enemies we were inside this time were more lurking than before reinforcing Arnelia's ties. Now, when someone named Dortmund left the boundaries of the eagle, he was able to feel it."

"Thus, the bearer of that junction is a human being and is likely to have been lurking in Arnelia as it were. Now, do you have any idea who could do that?

In Lisa's inquiry, Miranda had a person on her head for a moment, but Miranda denied the possibility herself. Lisa is surprised by the trick.

"Miranda? Do you have any idea?

"No, that's not it. Better than that, do you have any idea what Lisa's talking about?

"Yeah, I was wondering if I could make a public statement without much evidence... if it was a man named Brandio from the pilgrimage. Or, I thought,"

Miranda opened her eyes to Lisa's words and Miriazar moved her eyebrows tingly. There's no way Lisa could have missed that move.

"You both seem to have something to feel"

"Oh, sort of. Because you thought about the same person."

"Ho."

Lisa narrowed her eyes intriguingly to Miranda's words. Lisa often asks Miranda with her face.

"The more you know, the more frigid he is?

"Well, the pilgrimage is always frigid. But it's not the killer. It fits as a figure."

"Why?"

"It was Brandio who contacted Atashi the day of the incident. It's exactly who Lisa asked for help, taking over and letting Atashi know."

"Uh... then"

"Yes, it can't be Brandio. There will be a case, because Atashi is looking directly at his face."

Miranda shook her head to the side. Add pompous as Miriazal responds to it.

"Brandio... he's not sure."

"What kind of person do you think he is?

"Before I do, I want to hear from you. Did Miranda feel like she was in charge of him directly?

Miranda thought about Miriazal's inquiry with a little arm wrap, but the answer was immediate.
