You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Could this be..."

Eileen frowned slightly: "It was mentioned at the teachers' meeting before, I think it's called Dreamland..."

"Drugs, right? I've heard of them."

As Yuri spoke, he examined the medicine bottle under the moonlight.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Eileen and Annabelle exchanged bewildered glances again: How would he know such a thing?

Dreamland.

Yuri had heard the name of this hallucinogenic drug in the game, and it was related to the villainous organization "The Hermit Order" in the story.

They developed this new type of drug, which will spread to various countries within a year, destabilizing social order while the "Hermit Order" makes a fortune from selling drugs.

It is a very important main storyline in "Persona", but this is the first time Yuri has seen the real-life version of Dreamland. Presumably, it did not appear directly in front of the players to facilitate censorship.

Even though there's still some time before the main story begins, it's already infiltrated the Vatican...

Yuri glanced at the man deep in the alley.

No, he probably didn't know, he was just a small fry at most.

"Just as Eileen said, he's an absolute scumbag. There are definitely signs that he's involved in drug trafficking on the side."

Yuri summarized it this way, but Eileen was not happy at all.

She looked anxiously at the black-haired boy and asked the question that concerned her most: "What should we do next?"

Annabelle, who had remained silent throughout, finally spoke: "I guess I should just turn myself in after all..."

"No!" Eileen shouted excitedly, her eyes wide.

Eileen was fierce, but Annabelle's attitude was also unusually firm.

"This is the only way... I've brought you all to the scene of the crime as well..."

If you don't turn yourself in, and it's discovered later, you might also be implicated for failing to report something.

“If I was worried about getting involved, I wouldn’t have come here!” Eileen said.

Annabelle said calmly, "It was an accidental killing. This kind of thing can be understood with a little investigation... Besides, Siegel was carrying drugs, so the court should give him a lenient sentence."

"That won't do! Even if it's a minor offense, it's still murder. Siegel is a nobleman; he should at least serve ten years in prison, right?"

"Ten years is already quite short," Annabelle said casually.

At this moment, Yuri held up the Dreamland in his hand: "This might be used as a frame-up in court."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Eileen, hands on her hips, said angrily, "Are you trying to say that Anna put the drugs into Siegel's body?"

“I never said that, and calm down,” Yuri sighed.

Eileen has been very aggressive since the beginning, clearly trying to put on a brave face in front of Annabelle to hide her insecurity. We can no longer count on her.

To be honest, Yuri did consider the possibility that Anna might have stuffed Dreamland into Siegel's clothes to gain his and Eileen's sympathy.

After careful consideration, he dismissed the possibility, but the judge might not think so.

The situation reached a stalemate, and the air became exceptionally heavy.

“Eulifuss…”

Eileen asked, "What do you think? Do you think Anna should turn herself in?"

"This is a decision that Ms. Anna should make."

Yuli paused for a moment: "If Teacher Anna intends to turn herself in, I will not stop her, nor will I ask you to stop her."

Eileen scoffed, and he continued.

“If he doesn’t want to turn himself in, this man deserves to die… Let’s see if there’s anything we can do to help.”

Hearing him say that, Eileen nodded in satisfaction, and the two turned their attention to Annabelle.

"..."

Her mind was in complete confusion, and she didn't know what to do.

However, Annabelle noticed the composure in Yuri's expression, which made her feel a sense of relief.

"If he doesn't turn himself in, what will happen if the body is discovered..."

Anna looked uneasy.

Although there weren't many people on the streets tonight, I couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't be seen by anyone.

The Templar Knights will definitely launch an investigation after discovering Siegel's body, and what if a passerby happens to recognize me in a maid outfit...

“All we need to do is fake it as an accidental death,” Yuri said.

"An accident? Doesn't it already look like an accident now?"

Eileen frowned.

Although she didn't see the body in person, according to Annabelle, Siegel died from a severe head injury.

He slipped and fell on the curb in the rain; by any measure, it was an accidental death.

Yuri said, "You're right, but it's not surprising enough. Accidental deaths during pushing and shoving are not uncommon, and the Knights must be well aware of that."

Besides, this guy is a nobleman after all, so even if it's just a routine matter, he would still conduct the most rigorous investigation.

If the Knights investigate the area, they might uncover something.

"What should we do?" Annabelle asked.

Yuri revealed a sly smile and showed the two of them the Dreamland in his hand.

"We need to stage an accident that will make people lose interest in investigating further."

After that, Yuri launched his operation.

He poured most of the Dreamland in his hand into Siegel's mouth, and spilled a small portion on his clothes.

The Dreamland is a concentrated solution that needs to be diluted at a ratio of 50:1 before use. Therefore, this small bottle is enough to slowly poison an adult.

Then, Yuri dragged Siegel's body out of the alley and laid it across the street in a conspicuous position.

In this way, everyone would think that Siegel was high on drugs and accidentally fell to his death while walking at night.

Given that this was a drug addict with a bad reputation, the Knights probably wouldn't be interested in seriously investigating the cause of his death and would just close the case quickly.

Throughout the entire process of disposing of the body, Yuri did not allow Eileen to participate. Instead, she had her keep watch at a location far from the crime scene, watching out for any passersby.

"Huh...done."

Yuri wiped his sweat and quickly returned to the two of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Euryphus."

Eileen said apologetically, "I'm an adult, but I couldn't help at all... Waaah, I'm so frustrated!"

“I’ve known for a long time that Teacher Eileen is useless,” the Prophet said with a smile.

"What did you say!" Eileen puffed out her cheeks angrily.

“Um… Euryphus.”

Annabelle walked up to the two of them with a stiff demeanor.

Just as she was about to speak, Yuri reached out to stop her.

"Let's save the thanks for when we get home. It's time to leave; we've been here too long."

"Ah, um, that's true."

Annabelle nodded obediently.

The events of the night came to an end, and the three returned to the mansion under the starlight.

Yuri walked ahead alone while Eileen and Annabelle followed behind him, chatting as they went.

"Hey... I told you Euryphus was reliable!"

Eileen linked arms with Annabelle, winked at her, and gave her a mischievous smile.

"……Um."

Annabelle nodded deeply.

Seeing the tears glistening in her eyes, Eileen felt a sense of relief.

It seems Anna and Euryph will be able to reconcile after this...

As expected of the child of prophecy, he is indeed very capable.

So calm and decisive, I, an adult, am completely inferior to them...

Eileen looked at the boy's back with longing.

However, at that moment, a chill suddenly ran through the back of her neck and swept across her entire body.

"what……?"

Eileen realized she had missed a very, very important detail.

"What's wrong, Eileen...you look terrible."

Annabelle stared at her friend strangely: "Do you have a cold? Your body has been trembling."

Eileen shook her head, vehemently denying it.

Even so, the trembling in my body couldn't stop, and goosebumps covered my skin.

Because she noticed something very important.

Something that should have been the most concerning and questioned has been quietly downplayed.

Did Euryphus ask me to stay away just to spy on passersby and have me accompany Anna?

Let me put it more bluntly.

When we arrived at the scene, was Siegel really dead...?

126. How to apologize sincerely?
