"Back to the point, you can tell me now, First Class Lecturer in Wales."

El-Melloi II stared at Wales Pelham Codrington, who sat across from him.

"You, an important figure in the Spiritual Conjuring Department, what can I do for you?"

Golden Wales thought for a moment, then said to El-Melloi II, "Your Majesty, I believe you are aware that my father bought the Marberry Workshop five years ago."

Hearing that they were getting to the point, the three people on the other side also stopped talking and focused their attention.

"However, the Marberry Workshop has lost control. Since the surrounding wilderness also functions as the workshop, continuous lightning has filled the entire wilderness. Many people have died, including my father."

"I see. The reason for the loss of control is probably the imbalance of the spiritual veins."

"As expected of a monarch! Do you even know this?"

"But why can't a character like Trevor be solved?"

I don't know how my father operates." Wales smiled bitterly. "But if the workshop accidents continue, the Marberry Workshop will be directly reclaimed by the Codrington family."

"However, this matter is still an internal matter of the Spiritual Summoning Department. Why did they come to me?" El-Melloi II asked questioningly, holding the coffee to his mouth.

"Well...actually, the Codrington family has already reported this matter to the Legal Affairs Department."

"Ahem... ahem... Law and Politics Department?" El-Melloi II, choked by the news, asked hurriedly.

"Yes, if the workshop continues to spiral out of control, it will involve the rules of concealing the mystery, and I will have to hand the workshop back to my family." Wales scratched his head in distress. "It would be disgraceful for the Spiritual Conjuration Department to openly interfere with the inheritance rights like this."

"I understand. I'll take this matter." El-Melloi II agreed after thinking for a moment.

"By the way, you're a necromancer, right?" Jian, who had listened to the description of the incident, asked. "Didn't you try to summon your father through necromancy to find out the truth?"

"Of course I tried, but I failed."

"Oh~" Hearing this, Lanis showed an interested smile "This is really..."

"Ms. Lenise, why is this?" Gray asked curiously, as if she was surprised by Lenise's reaction.

"Necromancer is about summoning the lingering thoughts of the deceased. Failure to summon usually means that all remaining thoughts have been erased." Lanis turned her head, smiled, and raised a finger. "Erasing lingering thoughts is usually done manually, and it's usually only done by necromancers."

After saying that, Lanis stared at Wales and said, "And here, there is a necromancer who happens to be deeply entangled in the case."

"Eh? Miss Lanice, don't talk nonsense." Faced with Lanice's accusation, Wales became visibly panicked.

"Just kidding, but your reaction is hilarious."

Looking at Wales's panic, Jian pushed up his glasses, opened a detective novel he had taken from somewhere, and asked him, "According to the process of detective novels, Mr. Wales, do you have an alibi? Where were you every time a death occurred in the workshop?"

"Um...well...it seems like every time an accident happens, I'm in the workshop." Wales gave an awkward smile.

Upon hearing this answer, everyone except Ash opened their eyes wide.

You are always at the scene every time someone dies, and as a necromancer, you can also erase all traces after committing the crime.

Yes, there is only one truth.

"Mr. Welsh, you are the murderer," Lanise said, pointing at Welsh.

"No, Laness, in situations like this, when all the evidence points to one person, that person is usually not the culprit." Ash raised his hand, and a blue magical light began to dance. "But he's still a strong suspect. Let's take him into custody first."

"No, no, no, believe me, I'm really not a criminal." Facing the accusations of the two women, Wales looked at another man present with a pleading look, "Your Majesty, please say something."

El-Melloi II, who could tell at a glance that it was Ash and Laness playing around, sighed deeply. It seemed that he had been sighing more frequently recently.

"Relax, Mr. Wales, the ladies were just joking, but I hope you can explain this matter to us in more detail."

"Okay...Okay, I'll discuss the rest with you in detail when we get to the workshop."

--split line--

Boom.

Accompanied by thunder, Wales pushed open the door of the mansion.

Along the way, Lanis's magic eye felt painful due to the instability of her spiritual veins. After checking, Jian found that her brain and magic circuits were not yet mature and could not keep up with the processing speed of the magic eye.

"As you grow older, you'll be able to control this Demon Eye. Do you need help with it now?"

"It's okay." Lanis took the eye drops from Trimmawu, the maid who was the incarnation of Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, raised her head and dripped them in. "Just bear with it for this level."

These two siblings are surprisingly resilient.

Ash followed El-Melloi II, who was nearly exhausted and was supported by Gray, into the mansion.

"You are still that weak young master, you haven't changed at all." Lanis, who was standing next to Trimmau, looked at El-Melloi II's exhausted appearance with a happy face.

"Damn it, I didn't expect it to be such a long journey." After taking a breath, El-Melloi II left Gray's body, stood up and walked to the front of the team.

"Finally home."

As the words fell, a bright-eyed lady in a kimono came down from the second floor, followed by a brown-skinned hottie. At the same time, a white cloth like a snake appeared around Wales.

wow——

A jet of water shot out from Ash's hand like a laser, piercing through the white cloth that was about to wrap around Wales.

The proper smile of the lady in kimono and eyes gradually froze.

Chapter 5 Don’t you have any friends?

Feeling the atmosphere gradually solidifying due to Ash's move, El-Melloi II covered his face and sighed. Lanis showed a smile that did not mind the trouble, while Gray on the side looked at El-Melloi II, not knowing what to do.

"Excuse me, are you..." Hanano Hishiri looked at Ash and said, "It seems that the Law and Politics Department has never had any conflict with you, right?"

"Indeed, there isn't one. However, the famous detective Mr. El-Melloi II has already taken over and is ready to intervene in this case. Please don't act rashly against our client." Lifting the wide brim of his hat, Jian pointed at the famous detective whose veins were bulging on his back and whose fists were clenched.

sh!t!

"Sorry, ma'am, please stop playing for now." After taking a few deep breaths, El-Melloi II, who had gradually calmed down, walked forward and introduced him to Kanono Hisiri. "This is the new member of the El-Melloi classroom. As the lady said, I have accepted the position and am ready to investigate this matter."

"There are so many talented people in the El-Melloi classroom." Kanono Hisiri squinted at Ash, covered her mouth with her wide sleeves and chuckled.

Valletta Codrington, who was standing behind Hanano Hishiri, stepped forward and said, "Are you kidding me? Are the Modern Magic Department trying to interfere in the internal affairs of the Spirit Summoning Department?"

"What a coincidence, the commission we accepted was from your Spiritual Conjuring Department," Lanis smiled and spread out her hands.

"Before the storm subsides, I hope you'll allow us to investigate this workshop," El-Melloi II said, pointing out the window and looking at Hanano Hisiri. "What we find will be shared publicly. How about that?"

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Hanano Hishiri and Valletta looked at each other and turned to leave the hall.

Wales breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hanano Hishiri leave.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I will arrange rooms for you." After saying this, Wales looked at El-Melloi II and said, "Your Majesty, can you please come with me to the study for a while?"

"Okay." El-Melloi II agreed decisively.

After arranging rooms for the ladies, Wales called El-Melloi II and left alone.

The ladies who had not returned to their rooms but were wandering around continued their conversation.

"Let's continue our girls' meeting." Lanis supported her face and looked at Gray.

Although it is called a girls' gathering, it is more like a storytelling gathering.

Gray still felt a little uncomfortable as she sat down next to Lanis.

Ash also found a seat and continued to listen to the bizarre adventures of El-Melloi II.

"We were trapped in the barrier at that time. Oh, Miss Luvia was there too." Gray touched her cloak.

"Oh, so Luvia is also trapped in the barrier." Upon hearing this, Lanis smiled wickedly, as if she had already thought of how to tease Luvia later.

"Well... I finally came out under the guidance of my master." It seems better not to talk about the connection between Luvia and her master's magic circuit.

Thinking of the Peeling City, Gray couldn't help but touch Yade and whispered, "In that city, I used it for the first time..."

"By the way, we've talked so much, why don't you say something too, Jian?" As if she didn't hear Gray's last whisper, Lanis turned to look at Jian.

"If you want to find out about me, just tell me."

Anyway, what I'm talking about is the things in the Lostbelt. No matter how hard you try, you can't guess that I'm Morgan from the Lostbelt.

Ash took off the hat on his head and placed it on his lap. "Well...you may not know this, but I am a fairy."

This news was indeed so heavy that Gray and Lanis beside them showed surprised expressions, and Yade next to them was also repeating the word fairy.

"I was adopted by fairies from the Rain Clan when I was little. I lived there happily, but then..." Ash's nostalgic eyes grew sharp, and his hands on his legs slowly clenched, "Everything was ruined by another group of evil fairies."

"Ms. Ash..."

"Well~ Later I met a group of new friends and started a new journey." In order to break the heavy atmosphere, Ash smiled again.

Then comes the story of the savior.

"By the way, I've noticed that you're mostly talking about El-Melloi II, and rarely about your own affairs."

Jian pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting white light under the light. "You don't have any friends, do you? That's why there's nothing to talk about."

Lanis, who has been on the run since she was a child, "..."

Gray, who has changed into Arthur's face since childhood and is feared by the villagers, "..."

"Does Miss Jian have any friends?"

Ash, who met his allies only after becoming a savior, said, "...Gray, you've become mean too."

"It was clearly Miss Ash who started it first." Gray puffed up her cheeks and retorted unconvincedly.

"...Let's go around and take a look." Lannis changed the suffocating topic.

"Agree."

After saying that, Lanis and Ash stood up and walked around.

Gray looked at Lenise who began to explore around and advised, "Miss Lenise, it's not a good idea to explore around without permission."

"It's okay. Huaye said it's OK, didn't he?" Lanis dusted off her hands as she fumbled around. "Don't worry about safety. Jian is here."

"I might not necessarily do anything about it," Jian, who was reading a book he had gotten from somewhere, replied nonchalantly, "Be careful."

"Hey~ You were chatting so intimately just now, how heartless." Lanis smiled and moved closer to Ash. "Come to think of it, our famous detective looked very handsome when he introduced him just now."

"Hehe~ I understand a little bit about your fun." Ash and Lanis smiled at each other.

"By the way, aren't you curious about this workshop?"

"I was a little curious about this workshop before I came here." After glancing at the ground, Jian returned his attention to the book. "Once I got here, I immediately understood the secret of this workshop."

The souls of the deceased are used to create the artificial goblin 'Black Dog'. After analyzing it, I feel that the level is average. The utilization rate of humans is still a bit poor. It's too wasteful. The body is not utilized at all.

Is it because the Rain Witch's standards are too high that my standards have become more vicious after I transformed?

Suddenly, a tiny fluctuation of magic came from the study.

Hmm...are you starting to see that uncommunicative goblin already?

Oh, and that spot, huh? Why is he here?

He casually sent the book in his hand back to the study, turned around and said to Lanis who was groping around again, "Lanis, press the gem next to the fireplace. There is a gentleman waiting to open the door below."

"Is this the place?" Following Jian's instructions, he found the location of the mechanism and pressed it.

Rumble

"Wow."

"This is..."

Seeing the people below, Lanis and Gray exclaimed in unison.

The space under the fireplace opened up, revealing the stairs below and a burly man with a scar on his cheek sitting on the stairs, exuding a strong smell of blood and gunpowder.

"Oh, ladies, thank you for opening the door," said Shi Jie Li, whose hair and beard resembled a lion, as he walked into the room with a sneer. "If it weren't for the ladies, it would take a long detour from here to the exit."

Chapter 6 Fairy

After seeing what Wales showed him, El-Melloi II, who was thinking about something, followed Wales to the hall and found that an unfamiliar gentleman was talking with his adopted sister and students.
