Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

The mercury-scented maid quickly handed over a potion, stopping the situation.

[Second Generation: "The spiritual veins are even more unstable than I imagined."]

[Wales: "Is it the Magic Eye?"]

[Second Generation: "Yes, Reines's Mystic Eyes turn red and hurt whenever they come into contact with magic."]

Reines: "It's like when we were kids and put our hands in the heater; as long as we put in eye drops, it's fine."

[Grey: "Let's hurry, driver, the wind is getting strong."]

Just as Grey had sensed, the storm struck when the group had only gone halfway.

When everyone arrived at the workshop, they were all soaked to the bone; the Second Prince was even carried in by Grey.

"I didn't expect the journey to be so long."

[The Second Prince, dressed gruffly, said.]

[He's so tall, but his body is too weak.]

Kenneth: "Webber, your stamina is really nothing to brag about."

Rin Tohsaka: "I feel like you're not as good as you are now."

Feng Xi: "Sitting in an office all day, you're practically ruined."

Weber: "It hasn't gotten to that point yet!"

The Conqueror King: "Boy, how can you fight alongside me on the battlefield with this kind of stamina? Remember, starting today, you must train every day."

Kenneth: "I will keep an eye on him."

Weber: “(???)”

Suddenly, a white snake emerged from the ground, transforming into bandages that wrapped Wales up like a dumpling.

"I didn't expect you to arrive early, Ms. Adashino."

Seeing this, the Second Prince immediately guessed who had made the move.

"Long time no see, Lord El-Melloi II."

At the top of the stairs, a woman with fair skin, wearing a kimono and glasses appeared. Her long black hair reached her ankles, as smooth as the night itself.

This woman is named Hirori Adashino; she's the magician sent by the Department of Law and Politics.

The reason she arrested Wales was because she had come here first to investigate and concluded that Wales had killed his father, Trevor, so she wanted to arrest him.

Accompanying her was a brown-haired, wheat-colored woman named Valletta Cordrington, who was a supervisor sent by the main family.

According to them, they arrived early intending to use a necromancy spell to summon Trevor and ask for clues, but they discovered that any traces Trevor had left behind had been erased.

[It wasn't just Trevor; all the victims of that incident suffered the same fate.]

The erasure of the deceased's traces is similar to the erasure of fingerprints in the public world.

Only necromancers can do this.

The investigation revealed that Wales was present at the workshop each time an accident occurred, which is why they accused Wales of being the perpetrator.

[Himeko Adashino originally intended to arrest Wales immediately, but the young master used a storm and thunder as an excuse to temporarily stop her.]

[This Adashino Hishiri is interesting. She was quite domineering just now, but after hearing the Second Prince's suggestion, she readily agreed and untied Welsh without the Second Prince even having to say anything, without restricting Welsh's freedom.]

Their conversation suggests that this wasn't their first time handling a case.

Rin Tohsaka: "Are all the law enforcement departments at the Clock Tower this domineering? They arrest people based on just a guess."

Kenneth: "Little girl, the world of magicians is not like the outside world. Those magician criminals have endless tricks up their sleeves, so it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Arrest anyone who is suspected first."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "That's right, I understand that very well."

Those magician criminals, even if they die, should not be taken lightly.

His teacher, Natalia Kaminski, was implicated by Od Bolzak and died at his hands in this way.

Kiritsugu Emiya: "The world of magicians is very cruel."

Seeing that Hishiri Adashino had given in, the young prince breathed a sigh of relief and took Wales to conduct the investigation.

The two entered the study, where the Second King inquired about the relationship between Wales and Varata.

He could tell just now that their relationship was unusual.

Welsh had to confess that he and Valette were childhood sweethearts, but their relationship had deteriorated because he had rejected her marriage proposal.

"You can explain another reason why you called me here."

[After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, the Second Prince got down to business.]

"Sure, you're here too."

[Wales suddenly activated his demonic eye and sprinkled an unknown powder on the Second Prince.]

Then, the Second Prince saw the figure of a fairy appear in the study.

Kenneth: "Oh, fairies? I didn't expect there to be such creatures there."

Kenneth: "Treff really got lucky, finding such a treasure."

Rin Tohsaka: "I never thought fairies actually existed."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This is the first time I've seen this before."

Sakura Tohsaka: "She seems very sad."

"She seems to be a fairy rooted in this land," Wales explained.

"Be careful..."

[The fairy left behind this short message and then vanished.]

[Wales stated that the fairy appears every stormy night since the workshop was completed.]

[Wales is able to see others because she was born with fairy eyes.]

[Each time a fairy appears and issues a warning, someone will appear who has been struck by lightning and died.]

[But the fairy never explained what she was warning about; she only ever said 'be careful.']

This was the second matter that Wales had asked the Second Prince to investigate.

Kenneth: "The fairy's warning? This means that the workshop's problems are very likely man-made."

Afu: "Ah, this is getting more and more interesting."

Feng Xi: "You always leave things unsaid, it's really annoying."

Afu: "Really? Really? I think so too."

Meanwhile, Reines and Grey discovered a secret passage while investigating the living room.

Out of curiosity, Reines pulled Grey downstairs.

"This is a tomb. I'm a tomb keeper, so I know."

Below the secret passage lay an underground cave, and Gray quickly deduced its origin.

[This also revealed his past identity.]

Reines: "After all, it's a relic that necromancy bought."

Artoria: "Gravekeeper, I never expected this child to be doing this kind of work at such a young age."

For some reason, she always felt that the child resembled her in more ways than just looks.

Especially the Rubik's Cube in the cage in Grey's hand; it looked so familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

After advancing for a while, Reines's Mystic Eyes suddenly activated again.

"The effects of the medicine wore off too quickly. No, is it that the power of the Demon Eye has been drawn out by this ruin?"

Left with no other option, the two had to return the way they came.

However, halfway there, Reines stumbled and stepped on a trap, causing a large number of rocks to fall from above.

The Mercury Maid immediately formed a barrier to protect Reines, but Gray wasn't so lucky.

【"Bang!!!"】

Just as it was about to be hit, a gunshot rang out, and the falling rock was instantly shattered.

"Are you all alright, ladies?"

A burly man carrying a shotgun slowly walked in from another passage.

[The fierce face, the muscular physique, and the sunglasses he never takes off—it was none other than Lion's Robbery, Jie Li.]

Lion's Robbery Realm: "Hmm? Is that me?!"

Weber: "So you're part of our world too."

Kenneth: "So what? Wasn't that guy named Cowles your student before?"

Shiki Jie Li: "Looking at myself in another world, it feels really strange."

Rebellious Knight: "This is the first time I've ever seen you smile. I never imagined it would be someone from another world."
