You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Yuri's seemingly unfounded remark caused Annabelle's face to tighten.

"Why...why do you think that?"

“Your perfume smells even stronger than when you came to my house last night,” Yuri said, staring at her face.

“This is ‘Aromatherapy’,” Annabelle said, trying to remain calm.

“I know,” Yuri nodded. “You used it to cover up the smell of alcohol on your skin.”

"Well……!"

Annabelle was drenched in cold sweat.

Although she was vaguely aware of it, she still didn't expect Yuri's observational skills to be so terrifying.

The smell of alcohol on him was from when Annabelle was dealing with Siegel's body; the man had drunk quite a bit and reeked of alcohol.

How perceptive! Eileen clearly didn't notice anything at all...

Annabelle gripped her wrist and turned her face away. "I had a little to drink outside."

"On a rainy day like this, the roadside liquor vendors should all be home by now."

Yuri raised her chin and pointed to her upper body: "Or did you go to the tavern dressed as a maid?"

"..."

"Impossible, right?"

Yuri smiled and said, "So I'm guessing you had a conflict with someone just now."

If it were the downtown area, a beauty like Ms. Anna wearing such clothes walking at night would be tantamount to inviting someone to attack her.

Although the upper town is very safe, it's a different story if you get harassed by a drunken nobleman.

Annabelle was speechless and couldn't help but gasp.

Yuri's tone remained calm and composed throughout.

There was neither the youthful excitement of someone who had just exposed Annabelle's secret, nor the condescending and aggressive tone.

"..."

She vaguely recalled Eileen's assessment of Euphoria that evening, saying he was the most promising prospect.

That was definitely not an exaggeration...

How could someone deduce such an accurate result simply by smelling the strong perfume on themselves?

However, even Euryphus couldn't have predicted that he had just killed someone.

Thinking that the unfathomable little devil in front of her was still within the human realm, she felt a sense of relief for some reason.

"I'm sorry for making you and Eileen worry."

Annabelle steadied her breathing and said, "I did have a little conflict with someone outside, but it's all over now. Don't worry, you won't be implicated."

"Really."

Yuri nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"Has the body been properly disposed of?"

"...!!"

Annabelle stared in astonishment, her eyes wide.

How can it be……

Why would he know even this?

Is Euryphus Falsion truly omniscient and omnipotent?!

Annabelle's shoulders trembled violently; she was even more shaken now than when she discovered she had mistakenly killed Siegel.

"?"

Yuri frowned in surprise, looking disgusted, and said, "What kind of reaction is that? I was just joking. After all, Teacher Anna always seems to have a murderous aura all the time."

"Ah... um, I see. Please don't joke like that!"

Annabelle pressed her hand to her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "P-anyway! I'm all set! Stop worrying about what I did tonight, do you want to be a detective?"

"No interest. Since Teacher Anna says it's fine, then it's fine. Let's go inside quickly."

Yuri turned to walk towards the foyer, but just then—

Annabelle reached out and grasped his wrist.

As if possessed, the words Eileen had said not long ago came to her mind.

"Anna, would you like to join me in following Euryphus?"

Yuri stopped and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

He saw Annabelle staring at him with a determined expression, her pupils gleaming with seriousness.

“Eulifesto, I have something I want to discuss with you.”

"Mm." The black-haired boy nodded gently.

"I just killed someone."

"..."

Yuri stared in surprise at Annabelle's eyes and lips.

"It doesn't seem like a joke..."

Annabelle shook her head: No.

Just then, Eileen jogged out from the other side of the foyer.

"You two! What are you still standing here for? The hot water is ready... What's wrong?"

Eileen noticed that the atmosphere between them was a little awkward, and Yuri turned to her and said helplessly.

"We'll have to put the bathing on hold for a bit."

……

……

……

At Yuri's suggestion, the three of them put on their raincoats and hoods again and headed to the scene of the incident together.

The crime scene wasn't far from Yuri's house, which explains why she was able to hide the body and return so quickly.

Throughout the journey, Eileen held Annabelle's arm and kept comforting her.

This is not your fault.

Anna is not wrong.

The one who was wrong was the Baron who took the initiative to pester them.

If he hadn't been drinking, something unexpected might have happened.

If it hadn't rained tonight, I might not have fallen.

Eileen tirelessly came up with all sorts of excuses to comfort her friend and persuade her that there was no need to turn herself in.

Yuri then inquired about the circumstances of the time and about Siegel's character.

"That guy is a complete scumbag!"

"His private life is very chaotic, and he is also doing some shady things."

“It’s true! My father also said that he was secretly involved in drug trafficking, buying drugs at low prices from the border and smuggling them into the Vatican.”

"Do you have any evidence?" Yuri retorted. "If even you know this, wouldn't the Knights Templar notice?"

Eileen was speechless.

They arrived at a small alleyway about ten meters from the crime scene, where Annabelle said she had temporarily hidden the body.

Yu Li first walked to the very end of the alley and lifted a curtain that was raised on the ground.

Annabelle's so-called "treatment" was nothing more than dragging the man deep into an alley and then randomly picking up a tarpaulin to cover him up.

Fortunately, she said there were no pedestrians or witnesses during the entire process.

Even the bloodstains left by the corpse were naturally washed away by the rain, which was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

"..."

Yuri knelt on one knee, pinched his chin, and stared at the corpse, as if he were pondering something.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.

"do not come."

Yuri snapped at Eileen, who was walking towards them, startling her.

"You and Teacher Anna keep watch near the alley entrance. Report to me if any passersby walk by."

Remember not to set up any barriers; they might be detected or leave traces.

Although Eileen was somewhat dissatisfied, she still followed his instructions and turned back.

If we only consider rank and knowledge, she and Annabelle should both far surpass Yuri.

However, at this point, Yuri became the one among the three who was in charge of giving orders.

It was perfectly natural, and even Eileen herself didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

As for Annabelle, she seemed unwilling to approach the body and remained standing at a distance.

After a while, Yuri came to the two people who were keeping watch at the alley entrance.

Do you know what this is?

He shook a small bottle of pale blue potion in his hand: "I found this on that man."

"this is……"

Eileen and Annabelle exchanged a glance.
