"So there is really nothing to do now."

After leaving the Wanderer Alliance and enjoying coffee in the coffee shop, Manda and I started wandering aimlessly.

"I have to admit that even if time is tight, there are times when we have to wait."

"Yeah, why do we always encounter some unexpected things? In the final analysis, it is still bad luck..."

The hourly bell sounded.

It's already afternoon.

"The weather is quite good today."

"Yes, it's cloudless..."

The breeze blows on my face and the sunshine is warm, a rare winter day suitable for going out.

This is winter, a scene similar to spring but completely different. It can be called the spring color in winter.

"Where to go next?"

"I don't know either."

We all sat down on a bench by the roadside.

Manda's body fell backward slightly, closing her eyes to relax.

"The weather is so nice~~"

"Yeah, it would be better if I could lie on the bed and sleep..."

"It makes people not want to think about anything..."

"People don't want to go anywhere..."

"Winter is the best~~"

We continued talking sentence after sentence.

This kind of atmosphere has never appeared before, at least when I was with Manda.

"..."

"..."

"It always feels like...we are very much like we are dating."

"...Please don't say it, it will make me want to die."

"Okay~~"

"..."

"..."

"...Hey, Gu...old man? That's your name, right?"

"I actually know."

"Isn't it common sense to know other people's names?"

Manda opened her eyes and looked at me lightly.

"Indeed..."

"So, what's the name of the person in Miss Harriman's room?"

"...Eh?"

"Don't act stupid. You definitely know that she is the 'very beautiful person' that Mr. Hammons mentioned. Wasn't she with Miss Harriman on the night of the crime?"

"Why did you switch to this topic all of a sudden..."

Actually, it’s not that sudden.

This guy must have thought about it for a long time before deciding to ask me.

"What are you asking me for?"

"I told you, there's no point in pretending to be stupid."

There was a little dissatisfaction in Manda's casual tone.

"Didn't Mr. Hammons say that? That person always comes to the attic to see Miss Harriman. Even a resident of the attic will know her. As the owner of the attic, Mr. Wyatt must also know it, right? And you are here

I met Mr. Wyatt not long ago, didn't I?"

"Well..."

"I don't think Mr. Wyatt has any reason to withhold this information, what do you think?"

"Uh...what you said is absolutely true."

Under the sudden torture, I didn’t know how to answer.

"That person was not among the four suspects you provided me...so you did it on purpose, right?"

Manda was still pressing forward step by step, although her tone was still so calm that it didn't look like her... No, it looked very much like her during the interrogation.

"...Sorry."

Being cornered, I had no choice but to apologize.

"Oh, you..."

Manda sighed helplessly.

Speaking of which...this guy seems to be the person who has heard my apology the most times.

You are truly worthy of being a police officer - the only emotion I can think of is this.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, how should I put it..."

"Don't let it pass by."

"Well..."

I can't think of any other way to deal with it except to deal with it.

"That person is your friend?"

"...No, I'm not familiar with her."

"...Tell me everything you know."

How is that possible...

"...Her name is Snow, and she is a wanderer. That's all I know."

But I couldn't stand Manda's constant glare, so I still told some information about snow.

"Eh - Is that so? You are not familiar with her but you still know her name and identity? You are indeed the one."

Is it my imagination...Manda's tone seems to have become sinister.

"Well..."

"Not only did you have contact with Miss Harriman, but you were also in Miss Harriman's room on the night of the crime. There is no doubt that she is the biggest suspect, but you are unwilling to say anything about her?"<

/p>

"..."

"Speaking of which, whether you are hiding the truth or not, now that I have discovered her, I will definitely investigate to the end."

"You are wasting your time by doing this."

"It doesn't matter."

Manda said coldly.

"Since even you are unwilling to tell me the truth."

"...You are really willful at a time like this."

"You are the one who is willful, because this is a murder case...and you are covering up a suspect."

......

The next day, I met the lord.

Everything happened very suddenly.

I remember... the place was in a large open-air market. I don't know why I went to that place.

The only thing I'm sure of is that I'm definitely not going to buy anything.

After all, I have no money.

The lord was alone at the time, and I didn't see any guards around him. Plus, he was wearing a hat, so I didn't recognize him at first.
