Chapter 3 Case Closed, Yes, Let’s Talk About the Old Days
Part 1
Well, last night was a very serious incident.
The culprit in the serial disappearances was, to my surprise, the head librarian of the school.
I witnessed the head librarian kidnapping nee-san and Alexia and tying them up in a mysterious fog. What a bad hobby.
He was a pervert——.
However, he could not stop himself from committing the crime even though he was conflicted about himself as a pervert.
Each person has their own purpose in life. But when that purpose is rejected by society, one must make a choice.
Do you go through with it or do you kill yourself?
I was the former and he was also the former.
The fact that the culprit in a series of disappearances is a pervert is not very “Eminence in Shadow,” but, well, it’s the truth, so it can’t be helped.
People from the Knights come and go at the school in the morning. It is probably an investigation of the head librarian’s case.
“Hmm? That is……”
There was a dark-haired female student who was stumbling around, looking down, as she passed the Knights.
“It’s nee-san.”
It would be a trouble to be found, so I would normally hide, but that doesn’t seem to be necessary.
By the looks of her, she won’t even notice me.
“Fuhn fuhn fuhn ~”
I hummed random tunes as I basked in the pleasant morning light.
I am a student mob you can find everywhere.
What should my reaction be when I find out what happened to the head librarian? Should I be exaggeratedly surprised like a mob, or should I tremble in fear ……?
While thinking about this, I passed nee-san.
“Wait.”
At that moment, I was grabbed by the neck.
“Y-Yaa, nee-san, did you notice me?”
When I turned around, there was nee-san staring at me.
“Of course. Anything else you want to say?”
“G-Good morning?”
“Good morning, Sid. Anything else?”
“Nothing else …… though.”
I thought for a moment and said so. I couldn’t think of anything to talk to nee-san about.
“I’m depressed.”
“He~e.”
“I was slumping my shoulders and looking listless.”
“Aa~.”
“If you’re my little brother, you should have something to say to your big sister who’s feeling down.”
“Hm~m.”
I thought about it for three seconds.
“You don’t look well. What’s wrong?”
“…… You just barely passed.”
“So I barely passed?”
“Be more worried. And even guess at what’s going on.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“Well, you seem to want to know, so I’ll tell you.”
“I never said I wanted to know……”
“——You want to know, right?”
“I seriously want to know!”
I answered while being strangled by nee-san.
“It’s too noisy in here, so let’s change places.”
“Etto, what about class?”
“School’s cancelled for the day.”
She said and looked back at the school building.
“The head librarian is dead.”
She muttered in a meaningful way. I decided to be surprised like a mob.
