<Episode 18> I’ve seen it somewhere. Ignoring the tacky engravings on the back, I opened the note. The paper was dotted in a strange pattern that I could not read. What’s this? “It’s a cryptograph. Here, he left a message saying that it would be better if you learn to interpret these in advance.” I…

<Episode 17> Were they playing war? Children are naturally fond of battle. I was not surprised because I encountered it several times during the war. “What? I don’t like Andert. Then I’d have to die from the Great Wizard Mephisto. I’m Raphael!” However, my arms stopped in the air while planting. ‘I did die once,…

<Episode 16> Whoosh. There was a ghastly sandstorm. I stood alone in the middle of an endless wasteland. [Help me…] I dazedly looked around. The scenery that was empty in all directions was more familiar than unfamiliar. …Oh, this is the Southern Archipelago of the Empire. It’s Queen Island. My hometown that had fallen. There…

<Episode 15> This wretched fellow sometimes acts like a teacher in front of me. It’s unlike when the maid teaches me something – mostly because it seems he only does it to tease me. “You learned how to say hello, didn’t you? How about doing it again?” “…….” “Even a dog can repay kindness, but…

<Episode 14> I blinked quietly. The investigator seemed somewhat dissatisfied. It seemed that suspicions deepened in the gaze that was looking at me. “What did you do before coming to this city?” I think I answered that question very well. Though I had no intention of cooperating with the investigation, considering the head maid’s situation,…

<Episode 13>  I am proud in saying that I’ve met quite a variety of human figures throughout my life.  In particular, while spending my youth on the battlefield, I experienced various relationships that I otherwise could have never experienced on the Island.  But this was the first time that I…  ‘A master made up of…

<Episode 12>  Two people, not one, visited after the first assassin had come.  The behavior pattern was also a little different before, but it must have been because they must’ve been asked to deal with a higher-level threat than previously.  “Gulp.”  This was probably a real assassination.  The sharp edge of the dagger flew at…

<Episode 11> Rue is looking for Dian Cecht’s legacy.   The assassin-butler’s claims were made on reasonable evidence;  “A few days ago, my master asked me if I knew anything about Dian Cecht’s ‘eyes’. Besides, when I was cleaning his room a few days ago, I found a tourist guidebook for Midwinterre lying around – and…

<Episode 10>  A-ha.  I turned my head towards the pub’s door, asking a question.  “So they say.”  It was in a direction where no one was standing.  Shortly after the bartender questioned his eyes, the pub’s quiet door opened, revealing a person that hadn’t appeared yet.  Entering silently like a shadow, he was dressed in…

<Episode 9>  The only things left on the errand list is carrots and onions. And seeds to bloom.  Entering the market, I bought carrots and onions and asked the merchants about the merchant association.  At first, they seemed to be evasive, but when I mentioned what the old man in the alley had suffered, they…

<Episode 8>   The next morning.  When I came to the backyard to get the laundry, I was surprised by the view of the garden at first glance.  In two days’ time, the garden of Weatherwood’s mansion was getting pretty decent.  Except for that first time, no other worker has come since the first day, and…

<Episode 7>  I shook my head slowly.  In fact, it would be no surprise if I, a survivor of Queen Island who appeared suddenly after four years, was under state surveillance.  Weren’t there people who followed me after I refused to go to a refugee shelter? But they didn’t make any contact for a month,…

Episode 6  After that, he started cleaning up the small garden on his own even though no one asked him to clean it.  The head maid returned to the kitchen after asking him about various things. She seemed to have given up halfway because of his stinginess with the answers.  “Hmm.”  Standing inside the kitchen,…

<Episode 5>  At that time, a pathetic voice disturbed my thoughts.  “Spare me.”  “…….”  “I have failed my mission and failed to commit suicide, so I am a fugitive from now on. If you let me go like this, I will never appear in front of you again. I promise I won’t even talk about…

Episode 4  When I finished buying the goods and returned to the mansion, the maid led me to the kitchen.  “You are late.”  “First time.”  Today’s dinner was a vegetable stew.  While I peeled the potatoes, the maid cut up the carrots and onions and seasoned the stew.  I was touched when I sat at…

<Episode 3> “It looks like the sort of mansion the devil would walk out of.”   Even the bell was out of order, so I had to shake the bars of the main gate to call someone.  After shaking the door nonstop for about three minutes, a person came out of the front door.  A woman in…
