Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[Furthermore, this person isn't unrelated; he has an adopted sister who is currently on the Demon Eye Collection Train.]

Kenneth: "Hartres, I didn't expect this guy to get involved too."

Sora: "This guy has already disappeared."

Hartles, former minister of the Modern Magic Department.

No one knows his real name; there is only a rumor that his heart was stolen by a fairy, so people call him Heartless.

In 1994, not long after the end of World War IV, this guy resigned and disappeared.

Back on the train, Grey had a sudden inspiration and used the shield that Yad had turned into as skis, successfully catching up with the train.

[After getting on the bus, Yad kept complaining, only calming down after being shoved aside by an impatient Grey.]

Just then, Hideaki Adashino came over and called them, inviting them to go to the leisure car together.

She gathered everyone together and announced that since the Second Prince was currently in a coma, she would be in charge of solving the case.

[Then, Hirori Adashino mentioned the seven-year-old case and pointed out one thing.]

[It turns out that the investigator sent by the church to investigate the case back then was none other than Calabre.]

[Then, Hirori Adashino stated that since the past or future is unseen, it means the crime scene is elsewhere.]

She then gestured to the silent junior director beside her.

The other person lowered their head and opened the box they were holding; inside was Tereza's severed head.

[Theresa had already foreseen her death, so she placed an imaginary pocket where her head would fall, sealing her head away in an imaginary form.]

Because time is static in imaginary space, the head still retained consciousness when it was released.

With her last breath, Tereza uttered the name Calab.

The killer was none other than Calabre.

Gold: "It's not surprising at all that the murderer is indeed from the Holy Church."

Kotomine Risei: "Impossible, the Proxy wouldn't do such a thing."

Ilya: "Wait a minute, weren't we supposed to be answering questions? How did we identify the culprit so easily?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Idiot, can't you see that either the murderer is at fault, or there's more to this case?"

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Indeed, don't forget that Faker's Master couldn't possibly be Calabre."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Hmm, the fact that he stole the relics alone couldn't possibly have been done by this Calab.

[Then, Hideaki Adashino reveals Calabre's modus operandi.]

She stated that Calabre's Mystic Eyes are similar to the legendary Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, capable of recording and storing attacks, which can then be used to kill the opponent at any time by simply observing them.

[For example, you could make a cut in the air, record that cut, and then when an object aligns with the recorded point, the cut would land on that object.]

Rin Tohsaka: "Is there really such a way to kill someone?!"

Weber: "This is the first time I've ever seen this either. It's really impossible to guard against."

[Carab firmly denied this reasoning, and Hideo Higashino also stated that she had no direct evidence, but that action could be taken as long as there was suspicion.]

【"Wait a moment!"】

Just then, the Second Prince, who had finally woken up, was pushed over in a wheelchair by Grey.

Melvin was pleased to see the Second King awake, but the Second King was quite annoyed by Melvin's arrival.

[Then the Second King directly expressed his doubts, stating that Calab had no motive for murder.]

[However, Hirori Adano suggests that Kalaba may have become confused with the murderer's mindset while investigating the case from years ago, projecting himself into the murderer's identity.]

This is ridiculous, like saying a suspect is mentally ill just because there's no motive for murder.

Ilya: "Isn't this woman just being unreasonable?"

Kiritsugu Emiya: "But Calabre is indeed the prime suspect right now, after all, the deceased specifically identified him before his death, unless..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Unless this woman from the Law and Politics Department is lying, then the prime suspect is..."

Danic: "It's this Adano Hishiri."

Rin Tohsaka: "It must be this woman. She doesn't look like a good person."

Fiore: "This woman definitely has too many ulterior motives."

[The Second Prince continued, stating that Adashino Hishiri's reasoning was entirely her own speculation, and whether Calabash's Mystic Eyes possessed the abilities she claimed to have.]

But unexpectedly, Adashino Hishiri was confident of victory.

"His magic eye can indeed do that."

At that moment, a woman radiating an indescribable blue light appeared.

[Leondra introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the acting conductor of the Magic Eye Collection Train."]

Weber: "What is this thing?"

Avisbro: "It looks like some kind of special familiar, or a fairy."

Kenneth: "To actually let a familiar be the acting train commander, huh."

[Acting Captain: "The allotted time is up. I've come to collect the Demon Eye."]

[It turns out they arrive half a day before the auction begins to collect all the auction items.]

【“你！”】

[The Second Generation immediately understood why Adashino Hishiri had chosen this moment to conduct her reasoning.]

The goal is to leverage the power of the Magic Eye Collection Train.

【"Wait a moment!"】

[Carab tried to stop them, but was powerless to resist; his demonic eye was gouged out by the strange acting captain.]

After handing the extracted Demon Eye to Leondra, the acting captain simply vanished.

"What beautiful magic eyes."

Leondra looked at the Mystic Eye in the bottle and judged, "Although it's not Rainbow-level, it's still Gem-level. It can make shadows of the past appear in the present like bubbles, so let's call it 'The Mystic Eye of Bubbles.'"

Ilya: "(?⊿?)? You just dug it out!"

Danic: "But it seems that Calabre wasn't seriously injured; he just fainted from the pain."

Lion's Robbery: "That's really ruthless. Didn't they even give the seller anesthesia or painkillers?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This shows the modus operandi of the Mystic Eyes Collection Train."

Moments later, Calabre was imprisoned in the Second Prince's room, his hands were shackled, and they even thoughtfully bandaged his eyes.

[Grey: "Master, did Mr. Calabre really do all this?"]

[Second Generation: "Being able to do something and actually doing it are two different things."]

Just then, Calabre finally woke up.

[Second Generation: "I'm sorry, given the current situation, we have no choice but to imprison you."]

[Calaber: "It's alright, it's the least I can do."]

[Second Generation: "I want to confirm, are you really involved in the case from seven years ago?"]

[Calaber: "...I don't know."]

He wasn't lying, because he had no memory of the case he investigated seven years ago.

[It turns out that his Mystic Eyes were never truly under his control, not because of his old age. Therefore, under the influence of the Mystic Eyes, he experienced memory loss.]

[Carab didn't want to hand over the Mystic Eyes earlier because he wanted to use their power one last time to investigate the truth, but unfortunately, he was powerless against that strange acting captain.]

The Second King also believed that Calabre's Eye was now a key item.

But now, the only way to get the Demon Eye back is to participate in the auction.

Melvin responded that he would take care of it.

The Second Prince felt a pang of stomachache at this, because it meant that his debt to Melvin was about to increase significantly.

Chapter 154: The Second Generation Guessses Faker's Identity

Just then, Grey suddenly remembered the Theresa pendant she had seen before getting into the car. Under questioning from the Second King, she had no choice but to reveal that it was a Buddha statue embracing a naked woman.

[While magicians are said to wear pendants with protective spells, Theresa isn't a Buddhist, so why would she wear such a pendant?]

[That pendant must have another use, the Second Prince thought; this might be the key.]

Meanwhile, King Henry II still harbored doubts about Hephaestion's appearance.

[Because during the Fourth War, he did not see her among the Emperor's royal army.]

Judging from her attitude, she is clearly a staunch supporter of the Emperor, so why didn't she respond to his summons?

The Conqueror: "Alas, Hephaestion and the others are very loyal, but they are too stubborn."

Weber: "Aren't you the same? It seems they all learned from you."

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, you're right."
