On a flat, round stone, scattered with trees.
This must have been the original shrine.
Barely, the fundamental part kept the prototype.
From what I can tell, it looks like a temple not so big.
Probably only the size of my hips before.
Seeing the dust on the fragments or the dirt on them, it looks like they've been made wild for years.
The people of the village of Pagos knew about the existence of the temple...
Really, he didn't even think the devil was sealed there, so he must have left it.
"Nyah... did it break naturally?
"It's lame, and maybe that too"
Canade and Sola spilled that sentiment when they saw the ruins of the shattered temple.
But in contrast, Axe shakes his neck sideways.
"No, I guess not"
"Nha? Why?"
"Look at this guy."
Axe takes part of the broken temple.
That must be the frame of the temple.
The impact of exposure to rainstorms makes it worn out...
Some of them were cut clean in the middle.
"If it decayed naturally, it wouldn't scratch like this. Sword or axe...... must have been broken with a blade"
"Ooh."
"That's surprising. I can't believe Axe spotted that."
"Will you not say anything?!?
He seems vulnerable to mouth shots from girls, and Axe was a little teary-eyed.
"That's for sure?
"Come on, you're gonna say that to Rayne."
"It's just a confirmation. He said he had no other intention."
"... unfortunately, Axe is right"
As I follow, that's what Cell said.
In its hands, a stone is gripped like a jewel.
"What's that?
"The bond that kept this temple from demons... the end of..."
"What kind of a bond?
"There are demons around here. Looks like the junction was laid to protect you from it. Most of all, the storm couldn't shake and it seemed to be worn out..."
"I mean... there are boundaries, so normally, demons can't get their hands on it. Only people can destroy the temple...?
"That's what's gonna happen. Well, when the Demons came out, I might have been able to break the line... but I can't say,"
"Hmm..."
I found out that someone could have destroyed the shrine...
Who is that?
What the hell was the purpose?
Did you or didn't you not know about the devil?
Still, I don't know much.
"What else seems to be a clue?
"I don't see anything like that... how about a cell?
"You can't do this either. I can't find anything but the remains of a broken shrine."
"Oh well... Wasted my legs"
The temple could have been artificially destroyed, although we found out...
I don't have any information about the Devil at heart.
I was hoping that if I came here, I might know how to re-seal it or something, but thanks, it seemed empty.
"... no, it doesn't mean you're wasting your legs"
"Luna?"
"Rain, guys. Come here, I found something interesting. Oh, Nina waits there. Tina needs to see how Nina is doing."
Tania was making a call a little further away.
But... why is Nina leaving a message?
"? Uh... okay, yeah"
"I don't know, should I leave a message with Nina? Okaya."
The two seem to have no objection, waiting on the spot.
We moved a little further away... to the steep slope of the mountain.
Because the scaffolding is at stake, did Nina put you on standby?
I think so... but soon, I know it's a mistake.
"This is..."
"Raine and the others were checking the temple, weren't they? So me and Luna were looking around... and then we found this guy."
Ahead of Tania's gaze...... there was a human body, as caught on the slope of the mountain.
"Ugh, this is..."
"... that's terrible"
Axe and Cell face each other.
The two A-ranked men will not rarely meet a corpse.
That's enough for two of those people to put their faces on.
I kind of want you to guess.
"Uh-huh... this is... hey, that's tough..."
"Quite, you have something to come..."
I guess the body was left alone for days.
The bug was boiling... and it was damaged everywhere, whether it was by beasts or demons.
Look at that stuff, Canade and Sola blues their faces.
Tania spoke to those two, worried.
"Are you both okay? If you're tough, you should rest with Nina."
"Tania, you're so flat... wow"
"It's not like I'm fine at all. Just stop it. Patience. I really want to get out of here right now."
"... then I'll put up with it too. I can't just make Tania feel tough."
"Oh yeah... well, I hope you two want to... if you're tough, don't push it. All right? Beh, I'm not worried about anything, are I?
With all due respect, Tania seemed a little spared.
"Is that... a stab wound?
"Yeah, probably by the sword."
Axe and Cell were calmly observing the body.
They've already figured out the cause of death. Exactly.
Cell hands the chin and takes the thinking trick.
"How could there be a body here...?
"I don't know... it's hard to think of it as irrelevant."
"Yeah, right. It must be natural to assume that a body near an artificially destroyed shrine is somehow related."
"Hmm."
I'll sort out the information in my head, too.
What is the connection between the destroyed shrine and the bodies found in its vicinity?
"... witnesses, or something?
"Nha? What do you mean, Rain?"
Teach the strange Canade the possibilities that come to mind.
"No, there's nothing to be sure of... it would be too much to fall down here, wouldn't it? It's normal to think it has something to do with a broken shrine."
"Yeah, you are."
"So what was the connection? Did this man destroy the temple? But from what I've seen, I don't have a weapon, and I can't figure out how to break it and then commit suicide, or whatever. Then I was witnessing the crime scene, and I wondered if I could think that it was discovered and killed by a mouth seal..."
"I see... that's interesting"
The cell that was listening to me snorted deeply.
"It's just a guess, there's no basis for that, is there?
"Still, for once, the muscles are coming through. I don't think it's a problem to think of as one of the possibilities"
"Besides, that corpse is obviously another murder."
That's what Axe added.
"How do you know that?
"The stab wound was caused from the back. You wouldn't be such a hassle to kill yourself, would you?
"You see that..."
That's right, he's an A-rank adventurer.
I thought we had grown so much by being trained by Mr. Tin...
There's still something missing about the knowledge and experience of these adventurers.
I have to apprentice the two of you.
"Well... I guess this is where the investigation is"
Nothing more to look into.
For once, let's turn back to Pagos and organize the information there.
... Oh, my God.
"It's Rain. Shall we see the memories of the body?
Luna mentioned that.
"Speaking of which, could the two of you have used the magic of exploring memories? But is that something that can be used against a corpse?
"It's a little cumbersome, but there's nothing you can't do, okay? Together, we'll make it easier."
I was wrong again.
"Well, can you ask for it?
"I've been entrusted!
"I'll take care of it"
Sola and Luna strained, unfolded their wings, and began a magical chant.
Look at those two, Axe and Cell are amazed.
"Oh, he's really a spiritual..."
"I was listening to you... but you're telling the truth. I'm surprised."
With Axe and Cell's surprised gaze on them, the two cast their magic.
The light is sucked into the body.
"Mmm."
……
Luna raised an odd groan.
Sora controls her magic, quietly silent.
Somewhat...
They opened their eyes softly.
"How'd it go?
"That...... properly, I was able to search the memory of the body. So I could see the killer..."
"Yeah? Something's wrong with my teeth... what's going on?
"It's Rain. Listen, you're not surprised, are you? Whoever killed this man... and whoever destroyed the temple there was the same person. And he's... brave."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
