If it wasn't a prank, then what was the reason for moving these things?

And what concerned Igris most were the things Adam saw.

The human eye can be deceiving, even Igris's own, but seeing such anomalies so frequently is clearly not something that can be explained by a problem with the eyes alone.

If Olivia were here, she might be able to use her spiritual powers to see if there really is a ghost here.

"...?"

Oh no, it seems like Igris is missing Olivia.

The Gods' Foolish Play (Part 7) - The Rainstorm: Chapter Twelve, A Boring Game

"Miss Detective? Have you discovered anything?"

It seemed that Igris had been standing at the door for too long, because Adam noticed her and came out to say hello.

Igris shook her head and said thoughtfully.

"There's nothing wrong with your medication, and nothing unusual happened last night. We'll just have to wait and see if anything different happens tonight."

"Thank you for going to so much trouble..."

"It's nothing, just doing a job for money."

Suddenly, Igris thought of something and asked curiously.

"Mr. Adam, did you see any strange things at the office last night?"

"No, everything was fine last night, nothing happened."

So the problem is obviously related to this house.

Even now, there is still no sign of anything unusual.

I'll come back later.

"Thank you for your help."

After saying goodbye to Adam, Iglesias prepared to return to the firm.

The investigation has made little progress so far, and has instead gotten into trouble with the phantom thief.

However, this still couldn't stop Igris's daily life, so she planned to go back to the agency to ask Emily to go out for a meal together, and also let the Mirror Demon take a break.

She wasn't really trying to oppress the Mirror Demon, after all, it had always been Igris's good helper.

But as she headed back to the office, Igris suddenly stopped.

She looked at the street where people were coming and going; although it wasn't crowded, there were still quite a few people passing by.

Igris was searching for something, a gaze that was incredibly intense, even somewhat piercing.

Soon, her attention was drawn to a figure from behind.

The person continued walking forward as if nothing was amiss, appearing to be just an ordinary passerby.

But Igris's senses were exceptionally sensitive to everything, so she was able to quickly lock onto that figure.

Without any hesitation, Igris charged straight toward the figure.

As Igris quickened her pace, the figure behind her also quickened its pace, fleeing into other streets.

"That's the guy!"

Without further hesitation, Igris chased after the figure with all her might and followed closely behind him.

He also completely discovered that Ilyugris had followed him, and in his panicked escape, he accidentally ran into a dead end.

Igris looked at the retreating figure, while his colleague looked at the dead end in front of him and smiled mockingly.

"It seems you're not very familiar with the roads around here."

Igris paused to rest her body, which was somewhat tired from running, and slowly walked towards the figure.

"What, so this is your target? Why are you running away when you see me?"

He remained motionless with his back to Igris, while Igris frowned, seemingly sensing something as well.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and pushed the figure to the ground. Sure enough, it was still a puppet.

As Iglesias looked up, a figure crouching on the eaves of a parasol house came into her view.

He was entirely black, wearing a strange, equally black hood, and his black trench coat and hood swayed in the wind, making him look somewhat like a large raven.

He noticed that Igrilen was looking at her, so he casually tossed her a card and gently shook his finger.

He's provoking us.

Without hesitation, Igris raised her hand and fired a shot, which landed smoothly on him. But in the next moment, the figure had already disappeared.

The bullet missed; perhaps it was just an illusion, and the person wasn't actually there.

Even though the gunshots coming from the street were faint, they were quickly noticed by nearby police officers, who then surrounded Igris.

Igris ignored them and instead looked at the black card he had thrown down.

Your frail body is laughable.

"Is this guy crazy...?"

Igris still doesn't know what she did to offend him, that he even threw her a card to mock her.

Well, whatever the case, Igris will remember this grudge.

Once she catches him, Igoris will have to show him the other uses of a crowbar.

"Madam, what happened?"

One of the police officers who had cordoned off the street came out and approached Igris, asking her a question.

They knew Igris, or rather, almost every officer knew her, which gave them a certain inexplicable awe towards her.

"There was a... thief, nothing serious, he's already run away."

Igris sighed and said with a hint of helplessness.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I know I shouldn't have fired shots indiscriminately in the street."

"No, it's okay, it's good that you're alright."

No one will blame Igris, after all, she is a great hero of this city.

However, Igris herself didn't think so. After all, if you make a mistake, you should apologize and correct it.

The officers left quickly, and Igris continued on her way back to the agency.

It's a little further away than before.

Originally, Igris was already a little tired from walking for so long, which made her even angrier and deepened her resentment towards that guy.

If she really catches him, Igor will at least make sure that person spends two days in the hospital.

"whispering sound…"

After all, there are probably very few people left who would dare to provoke her like that.

……

At the firm, Igris pushed open the door and walked in listlessly.

Then, two identical creatures appeared beside Igris at the same time, staring at her expectantly.

"...What are you doing?"

"Let's guess who we are!"

One of them, Emilyda, spoke to Igris with a serious expression.

Why should I play this boring game with you...?

"Don't Igris recognize us?"

Another Amelida said with a serious expression.

Igris sighed and began to seriously observe the two women in front of her, Amy and Rita, who looked exactly alike.

It would be difficult to tell them apart by appearance alone, so we can only distinguish them by other means: who is the Mirror Demon and who is Emily Rida.

So why did Igris play this boring game with them?

"I guess the one on the left is real."

Igris randomly pointed to one, and sure enough, Emilyda on the right quickly transformed into Igris's appearance.

"You guessed right! As expected of Igris, she could tell at a glance!"

"A piece of cake."

Igris was just guessing; no matter which one it was, she could always brush it off with something like, "The left side I'm referring to is your left side."

So why did she play this boring game with them?

The Gods' Fool - The Rainstorm: Chapter Thirteen, An Abnormal Space

That night, Igris arrived at Adam's house as promised, while Adam had already returned to his bedroom.

Tonight might be crucial; if he does exhibit any unusual behavior, Igor will be able to see it clearly.

The premise is that the phantom thief won't come after Igris again.

Igris curled up on the sofa, staring blankly at the fireplace in front of her.

The Mirror Demon stayed at the agency to take care of Emily, so Igris had no help this time, only herself.

The issue of whether or not she had helpers wasn't the key point; the key point was that during this time, Igris had no one to talk to, which made her extremely bored.

Time ticked by, and the relaxed atmosphere in the living room made Igris drowsy. The only sounds were the burning of fuel in the fireplace and Igris' own soft breathing.

Slowly, Igris moved her somewhat stiff body, trying to find a slightly more comfortable position to lie down and make herself more comfortable through the long night.

But at that moment, the door to the room quietly opened a crack.

Igris looked up but did not see Adam emerge from the crack, nor did she see anything peering at her from within.

It seems the door wasn't closed properly, so the wind blew it open.

Adam should already be asleep, because he usually falls asleep very early and quickly because he takes his sleeping pills on time.
