She is not an investigator.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. There shouldn't be any problems here."

"I want to sleep with you."

"I won't hold you while I sleep."

"I didn't say that."

"But your movements look just like that."

Amyreda reluctantly withdrew her hand, curled herself up into a ball, and sank into the sofa.

Igris also likes this position because it's really comfortable.

"I can climb on top of you while you're asleep."

“Good idea, so I won’t go to sleep before you do.”

Igris stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Emilyda, who was curled up in a ball, with a serious expression.

"Also, if I find out you actually did that, I'll immediately throw you back into the Special Investigations Division and have Alex take care of you."

You won't find out.

"You should have said you wouldn't do that!"

Seeing Emilyda close her eyes and pretend to be asleep, Igris sighed helplessly.

For some reason, Igris, the one who should be taken care of the most, has started taking care of others.

First Mirabelle, then Emily, Iglesias felt like she was becoming a nanny.

"Never mind... I'll rest soon too."

Igris muttered to herself as she walked to the fireplace and placed her hand in the fire.

She wouldn't be set on fire, but the warmth would transfer to her body, making it a perfect way to keep warm, especially for someone as sensitive to the cold as her.

If she could, Iglesias would even like to take a nap in the fireplace.

That is, assuming it's not that dirty inside.

"Igris! Come quick! I've got it!"

Suddenly, while Igris was still enjoying the warmth of the flames, a voice calling out came from outside Anne's window.

Without hesitation, Igris ran out the door and immediately saw the mirror demon, who resembled herself, riding on something. She pinned it down firmly.

It seems that Igris's trap has worked.

Igris came to its side and looked it over.

It was a person, but it looked very strange. Even when it was pinned to the ground, it did not struggle. It was wearing a very black outfit that covered its skin almost completely, and even its head was not exposed.

Igris told the Mirror Demon to release her, then ripped off its hood and looked at its face.

But Igris saw nothing.

"puppet."

This is a puppet, a very common, very low-quality puppet. It doesn't even have facial features; its head is completely empty. It's just a half-finished product that Aunt Wu bought.

But the question is, why would a puppet wearing clothes suddenly appear here?

"Mirror Demon?"

"Impossible! It can't be fake. I saw it jump off the roof!"

Igris frowned and looked up at the roof.

On the rooftop, a dark figure stood silently, motionless.

Igris drew her pistol almost without hesitation, but the next moment, a strange black card suddenly entered her field of vision, completely obscuring the figure.

As the card fell, the figure vanished as if it had never existed.

"...What the hell is this?"

Igris slowly picked up the card that had fallen to the ground, but the clearly visible writing on it made her freeze in place.

"...A threatening letter?"

"Let me see!"

The Mirror Demon also came closer and quietly read what was written on it.

"My esteemed lady... I am honored to inform you that you have obtained something that should not exist. I, the Phantom Thief, will take away this treasure that does not belong to you."

After reading the letter, which contained very few words due to the small size of the card, the Mirror Demon couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a warning letter! A warning letter from the legendary phantom thief! Someone's got their eyes on you, Igris!"

For some reason, the Mirror Demon seemed even more excited than Igris, and Igris had never heard of any phantom thief or premonition letter before, let alone where it had heard such strange rumors from.

"So, this guy is after me, not Adam who caused the trouble."

Igris looked at the puppet on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"And in other words, there's really nothing particularly noteworthy here..."

“Igris! That’s a phantom thief! He’s going to steal your most precious thing, don’t you care?”

"He's just a thief."

Igris didn't think much of it, but she planned to show the notice to Alex to see just how bad the security was in their area.

"But... the Phantom..."

Igris reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a white mask.

This reminded her of The Phantom of the Opera, and of the things the Phantoms had entrusted to her in the opera house.

"Maybe the real show is about to begin."

The Gods' Fool - The Rain: Chapter Ten, The Most Important Thing

Early in the morning, Igris woke up on the sofa and rubbed her aching body.

She turned her head and looked at Emily, who was still sound asleep on the sofa. After confirming that Emily hadn't climbed on top of her while she was sleeping, she stood up.

She glanced around the living room; the furniture was still in the same place, so it seemed that nothing else had happened last night besides the notice.

While Yue Ran was satisfied, a simple investigation like Yi's certainly couldn't prove anything. Igris needed to do some other verification.

For example, are there problems with the medications? Are these abnormalities due to Adam's own issues? Or do these abnormalities only occur when Adam is alone at home?

So tonight, Iglesias plans to bring Adam back first, while she stays here to see if anything unexpected happens if Adam is home with her.

Whether it was because Ivy had a habit of sleepwalking or because his mental state was indeed unstable, Ivy could figure it out.

Now, all she needs to do is wake Emily Rida up.

This guy can sleep so soundly no matter where he is.

"Get up—"

I.G.L.L.S. poked the body of the flag-bearing, 20-minute-a-day woman, and thought that she might be able to charge for her wake-up service in the future.

Amelida slightly opened her eyes, and after seeing it was Igris, she slowly closed them again.

"You're awake."

"He hasn't woken up."

Her eyes were closed, but her voice was clear and her tone was earnest.

"Then you can sleep here by yourself."

"Are you finally going to throw me away?"

"finally?"

Emily managed to get up from the sofa and silently went to Igris's side.

"...I didn't get enough sleep."

"If you haven't had enough sleep, go back to the office to sleep. We're not open for business today."

Igris doesn't plan to take Amelida with her for her next activities. First, Amelida really can't be of much help, and second, it's not convenient for Igris to take her everywhere she goes.

What follows is likely to be somewhat dangerous, so Igris will hardly have the energy to take care of her anymore.

But Igoris also felt that leaving her alone in the office was not a good idea.

Perhaps she could find someone to help take care of her?

For some reason, when this thought came to her mind, the first person that came to mind was Momokawa.

She didn't know why, maybe she just thought of her, but right now, the only ones who could really help were probably Alex or Serafina.

But Alex might be busy, and Igris shouldn't really bother her. Perhaps having Serafina take care of her would be a good option?

We can't expect the Mirror Demon to take care of her, can we?

------

At noon, the firm welcomed its first guest of the day.

Serafina returned to the agency as she had said yesterday.

This time, however, she didn't bring up anything else; she simply came to chat with Igris.

It was clear that she really wanted to build a good relationship with Igris, probably to make future requests easier? Igris didn't know, but she didn't think it was a bad thing.

After all, it's never a bad thing to know a few more rich people like that.

Then, Igorlis told her mentor, Seraphim, about her long-standing worries and asked her to help take care of Emily, but Emily politely declined, saying that she still had things to do and couldn't stay in the agency forever.

She then bid farewell to Igris and left the agency.

And so, Igris ultimately chose the worst possible option.

"Mirror Demon, you stay and take care of her."

"I won't do it."

"You said you would listen to me."

"But you promised you'd take me with you."
