Frowning and holding his chin with one hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled.
"Think about it, the person here who is most likely to know the answer is you."
"...I always feel that this guy is a bit unreliable. Generally speaking, detectives will state their speculations as facts?"
Lawrence stood aside and glanced at Da Vinci speechlessly.
"Well... Sherlock Holmes is almost like this. After all, his speculations are often very close to the truth."
"Actually, I rarely do this, Mrs. Lawrence, but the current situation is really special."
Holmes shook his head helplessly and glanced at Lawrence.
"People other than Miss Fujimaru can also think about it. Let me give you a hint. Think about whether there is such a person."
"That is to say - the situation is very similar to Musashi, but he is not Fujimaru Ritsuka's person."
Holmes held up a finger.
"Suppose that multiple moving singular points appear in a world at the same time, then that world will become a complete positional domain, right?"
"All exceptions, anomalies, and supernormal things are likely to happen. So - if you follow this clue, who can you think of?"
"In other words, in this world now, is there still a being like Musashi-chan who can travel through different worlds?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her head, looked at Holmes, and said thoughtfully.
"Hey!? Isn't my ability a privilege?"
Musashi's eyes widened.
"...If you follow this clue to investigate, it will be very convenient to find the details."
Zuo Cun nodded.
"Then - let's first think about what is superfluous in this world."
"A few of our servants, those heroic swordsmen, Musashi and this little girl."
Muramasa replied.
"Any more?"
"There's one more."
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately thought of that "extra" guy.
"The master of the heroic swordsman is...the magician."
"Although it is still unclear what its true identity is, if there is any superfluous existence in this world, it can only be a sorcerer."
"It seems that you have already thought of who it is, that's good."
Holmes breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Think about it... the time when the sorcerer and those heroic swordsmen appeared was almost exactly when weird things started to be witnessed in various places in the lower headquarters."
Fuma Kotaro analyzed seriously.
"And when those heroic swordsmen act, they also act with a swagger and a group of weird actions. Even the moon in the sky will become as bloody as it is now."
"We didn't pay attention to this before. Instead, we simply ignored the details. It seems...it was the magician who brought these weird things."
"Okay, I have a question now."
Holmes was so calm that he sounded a little unusual in his voice.
"Will the weird things you talk about help that sorcerer?"
"The weird ones will obey the orders of the heroic swordsman, and the heroic swordsman is the minion of the sorcerer."
Musashi nodded.
"That's right."
Holmes glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"The culprit of all the abnormalities that occur in this world is what you call the sorcerer, right? If you say that, I will understand it."
"Huh? Is there any difference with Mr. Holmes's guess?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked a little strangely.
There was nothing wrong with Holmes' tone, but there was a certain degree of... hesitation in the logic of what he said.
"Ah, in fact, according to my original speculation, Miyamoto Musashi should also be able to control those weird things, but as you can see, she seems to be unable to do this, so... the difference is,
It’s most likely caused by [output].”
"In other words, as a person who can travel through the world at will like Musashi, the magician is probably more powerful."
"You mean, that guy is probably my kind and more used to traveling than me?"
Musashi's expression became a little serious and serious.
"Exactly."
Holmes raised his pipe and lit it.
But his current expression is actually a little annoyed.
"Hey, this is the troublesome part without being on the scene... It actually requires speculation and hypothesis, hypothesis and estimation to piece together the incomplete truth... Generally speaking, as long as
I don’t want to say anything that is incomplete or questionable.”
"But as I just said, the situation is critical now, and there is no room for so much hesitation... Really! Forget it if it is related to that guy Moriarty, I didn't expect that I can't
Don’t explain the various circumstances of the matter in detail before you are fully sure!”
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Holmes."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's true thanks.
The girl's voice was indeed soothing. The annoyed expression on Holmes' face suddenly disappeared, and he sighed.
"However, I still have a piece of advice to tell you. What I just said does not represent everything I think in my heart. Do you understand?"
"Does that mean you still have a lot of assumptions and conjectures that you haven't told us?"
"That's right."
Holmes nodded and shrugged.
"I don't want to give you too many preconceived impressions, so for now, I'll just keep silent."
Lawrence and Da Vinci looked at each other.
"Genius, you are really in trouble..."
"Feel the same..."
Matthew stood aside and blinked.
Is it really appropriate for these words to be spoken by Miss Lawrence and Leonardo da Vinci themselves?
...
"All in all, that's pretty much the information."
After listening to Holmes' long speech, Fujimaru Ritsuka seized the next few moments to report to Chaldea what he and others had experienced so far in this world and what they were going to do next.
Already.
"Hmm...is that what you mean?"
Da Vinci sorted out the information about Fujimaru Ritsuka and blinked.
"If your city of disgust and dirt over there is activated, will the world on our side also be affected?"
"That's why you are in that place now, trying to find out the man behind the scenes, the sorcerer in your mouth, to solve all the problems?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.
"The situation is indeed serious...but actually I still find it a bit difficult to understand. If it was really Ritsuka's dream, something that didn't exist would have an impact on us. This kind of thing...
