＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 56

Credit (2)

Edsilla Police Headquarters bus stop. I am sitting on a bench and waiting for the bus.

“Wow, it was delicious.”

The boat was already full.

The National Police Agency cafeteria passed the test for cost-effectiveness. I think I ate 6-7 servings of pork cutlet, wheat noodles, and hamburger steak, but I only spent 20 ren.

“Oh, I’m full.”

This week’s swordsmanship class is an afternoon class, so there is plenty of time.

I was waiting for the bus, massaging my swollen belly, when suddenly I found myself at the very end of the bench.

So, on the edge furthest from me on this long bench.

Someone quietly approached and sat down.

A flower-like scent wafted.

“… … “What are you?”

It was Elise.

She said with her eyes fixed straight ahead.

“you. Do you know who Velen Dex is?”

Katabuta is bullshit. Where did I eat something wrong?

Anyway, Velen Dex is the guy who sunk his teeth into my side in Lecordak.

“uh. know.”

“You know?”

Elise asked back, squinting one eye.

“He’s a murderer who died yesterday. Belen Dex.”

“no. that… … “That’s true.”

Elise stopped speaking and shook her head.

“it’s okay. “It was my fault for asking you.”

Then he gets up right away.

Do you have something to say but don’t want to say it, or do you have to come even though you don’t have anything to say?

I calmly added to her as she was about to leave again as soon as she arrived.

“He is the real culprit.”

Elise’s small back stiffened. She asked back, only turning her face to the side.

“… … what?”

“The real culprit. The real culprit of the Noah Lucille incident.”

In other words, the master of sin committed by Noah Lucile. Also known as ‘Mirienae’s evil spirit’.

The scum psychopath who caught and killed 77 people in the city of Mirinae was already in prison.

Already 10 years ago, for the same but different murder charge.

“… … .”

Elise was dazed for a moment, then quickly shook off her face.

“Are you stupid? Belen Dex is a copycat of Noah Lucille. “He was a copycat, so Noah Lucille killed him himself.”

Umm. From the looks of it, it looks like he picked something up and ate it, no, it looks like he picked it up and ate it.

I asked back.

“so?”

“Then ask your brain. What I am saying is that you are wrong in saying that Noah Lucillo was framed. If Noah Lucillo was really framed in the first place, why would he kill the real culprit? Rather, it should be saved and corrected-”

“Because I have no intention of correcting it.”

“what… … .”

At that moment, Elise was speechless. I shrugged my shoulders and continued.

“Because it won’t be corrected. “Because 19 years is that long.”

His time doesn’t come back.

The 19 years that have already passed, the life lost and the future stolen will never return.

Unless you regress like me.

“You don’t know. “You haven’t even lived 19 years yet.”

“… … losing.”

Elise said something pretty cute. She glared at me with a frown and crossed her arms.

I told her that.

“But who on earth is the inmate in that quarantine area at that time? “The prosecutor kept asking me.”

For a moment, her body shook on the bench, but then she took on a somewhat overbearing expression.

“… … It’s a person who doesn’t exist. “Don’t think any more than that.”

Then he narrowed his eyes sharply and shot back.

“Because Petra is much more ruthless than you imagine. It means forget it.”

It’s almost semi-threatening.

“… … Oh yes. “Of course.”

I nodded my head. Elise quietly brushed her hair.

“Then disappear now.”

He tells me to go away, but he gets up first.

Did I really eat something wrong?

Anyway, Elise walked somewhere. There was a luxury sedan at the destination.

“What an ugly 19-year-old.”

Again, I hate Elise. The same goes for Petra.

There’s no way I would like these guys since they were directly or indirectly involved in my mother’s death.

Therefore, it is difficult for me to listen to Yael’s last will and request, ‘Destroy Petra, but protect Elise’, and it is still difficult to know what it means, but whatever.

Can not help it.

I am a person who tries to keep my promises. Especially if it is a promise made to a lifesaver.

So, I actually worked under Elise Petra, and it was because of that experience that I learned about Elise’s PTSD.

No matter how much you don’t want to do something, you still try hard.

Because you can’t live life only doing what you want to do.

Buuuuung—!

As I looked at Elise’s sedan leaving at that moment, I muttered quietly.

“you… … “We have to be more careful from now on.”

As Elise said, Petra is very ruthless. As such, there are many enemies.

Therefore, ahead of the election season, Elise will also be caught up in various incidents, including kidnapping and attempted assassination.

Future Elise, who went through all those events, grows up to be a monster worse than her father and mother, as well as the elders of her family, but Yael would not want that to happen… … .

“Ah, it’s coming now.”

A waiting bus appeared in the distance. I got up from the bench and stretched out my arms.

* * *

Inside the sedan heading back to the mansion. Elise is lost in thought as she looks out her car window.

She personally viewed the video of Lena Helder’s investigation of Sion Askal. This was thanks to Inspector Lenzette’s confidential and active cooperation.

However, during the statement, Sion did not say anything to the prosecutor. He remained ignorant despite the prosecutor’s persuasion.

It’s such a strange thing.

What he said at Recordak last night still lingers in my ears.

—I hate you. You, your damn family, everything. Much more than you think.

He was the first person to express such direct hostility towards him. It was the first time he had seen pure, vivid malice with his own eyes.

That’s why it’s puzzling.

If I had just said to Lena, ‘I saw the person in that photo,’ I could have made quite a big deal. Even if he didn’t know who Yael was, he could have gotten me into trouble.

Why on earth is that monkey… … .

“What’s going on?”

At that moment, the escort driver in the driver’s seat asked.

Berthe Kondorf. He is an elite knight of the third rank. He is also his father’s vassal.

“… … no.”

Elise roughly changed her words.

Of course, she is Petra’s only direct blood relative, and is the heir who will inherit everything in the future, but her parents’ vassals are still a burden.

“Is that so.”

The escort driver continued, concentrating on driving.

“A has now been transferred to a psychiatric ward, lady.”

A is for Jael. The family’s vassals, that is, the father’s closest associates, call Jael A.

This means that the name is not even spoken.

“So? “I’m going to go back to prison soon anyway.”

“yes. “It is true.”

Red light.

When the car stopped for a moment, the escort driver stretched his arm into the back seat and held out an object.

“miss.”

Looking at that, Elise was startled. She was ‘Cookie’, a rabbit doll.

“It was discovered inside the quarantine zone.”

“… … “I almost got into big trouble.”

“it’s okay. Since dolls are permitted items to be exported, I thought they belonged to guards or prisoners.”

Elise accepted the rabbit.

Cookies returned to my hands.

It’s strange and I’m sorry.

It was made with a lot of care, but maybe it was just used as a means to treat PTSD?

I keep losing it indiscriminately, and even though I lose it, it comes back on its own.

… … I won’t lose it anymore.

As Elise was repeating to herself, a thought suddenly passed through her mind like an electric current.

This cookie has an automatic recording function that is limited to 48 hours.

* * *

As soon as Elise returned home, she disassembled the cookies.

Anyway, the main body of the cookie is not doll clothes or cotton, but magic spells and magic core. As long as they are not damaged, a cookie will still be a cookie no matter what it looks like… … Anyway, that’s it.

Elise infused magical energy into Cookie’s magic core. Among the magic spells connected to the magic core, the part responsible for recording glowed blue.

─It’s okay. Since the doll was a permitted item to be taken out, I thought it was a prisoner’s item.

The voice of the escort driver, Berthe, was played. It was about 15 minutes ago.

Elise rewound time.

Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruenit – The magic core and magical magic flicker blue again, and thump-.

When I thought this was enough, I released my magic.

─Yael.

The voice at that moment is Elise herself, calling Yael. What amazing timing.

Elise was proud of herself and played the recording.

─Oh. You came. You came. My little brother.

I felt bad again.

Whenever I hear the word ‘younger brother’ I get goosebumps.

If a man who cut people up and laughed grimly in the midst of dismembering their internal organs called himself ‘younger brother’, everyone would probably hate the word itself.

─… … I shouldn’t have called you that.

Jijijik – There was a little noise, but Cookie was definitely recorded.

─Oh my. Is it wrong to call your younger brother your younger sibling? … .

Even if you listen to the conversation itself again, there is nothing special about it.

Nevertheless, Elise recorded the conversations on her laptop.

─Kaaaa!

─What a surprise!

This is the moment when Yael took advantage of the magic storm and surprised herself.

If you see the shaking sound coming out, did you think the cookie was dropped at this time?

─Good!

“… … delete.”

Elise’s face turned red and she omitted this part from the transcript.

Anyway, at this time, Elise left the quarantine area.

Therefore, from now on there will be only Zion Azkar and Jael.

─You must be sad, right?

Yael said. He spoke to Sion Askal as per his concerns.

What kind of useless words are these?

─What

Zion Askal answered in the recording. Elise was very nervous. She grabbed her smartphone just in case.

In some cases, you may have to pass it on to your father. Sion Askal may need to be cleaned up.

Since Jael’s sin was not just murder, if she revealed that ‘secret’ to Zion… … .

─It seems like you followed Elise, but you probably won’t be able to do it.

─What is that noise all of a sudden?

─What are you talking about?

However, the conversation flow is a little strange.

─Her ideal type is a tall man. You probably won’t make it.

“What… … .”

Elise frowned. Because she doesn’t have an ideal type to begin with. The problem is that it is not my ideal type.

But then.

Sion Askal’s answer was a little strange.

─It was unfortunate while listening.

“… … Unhappiness?”

─Ha! That’s honest.

“Are you honest?”

From this point on, you can’t hear much because of the wind and storm noise.

“… … eww.”

Elise trembled involuntarily. I don’t know why, but I got chills. Something about her makes the area around her neck feel strange and terrible… … .

She rewinded without saying a word.

─What are you talking about? Her ideal type is a tall man.

─It was unfortunate while listening.

─Ha! That’s honest.

It’s unfortunate to hear.

If you think about it, Sion Askal’s physique is not at a level that can be called ‘big’.

So, what does unhappiness mean… … .

I got goosebumps all over my body. Concentrated disgust, contempt, and hatred raged deep within the Danjeon.

No, probably not.

That can’t be possible.

He hates himself. He said so himself.

but.

If it’s just one chance, no, one hundred thousand times, that ‘I liked it so much that I started to hate it so much’ nonsense, then Sion Askal is a human being who deserves to die. He is a human being who must be killed.

Of course, this situation itself is familiar.

Elise Petra’s external appearance is flawless beauty, even in her own opinion, and she has lived the so-called ‘idol’s life’, receiving envy and jealousy from those of the same sex and love and admiration from the opposite sex.

Of course, there were a lot of stalkers, and there were also a lot of people who were obsessed with their attention.

However, this time the target is different.

If that monkey-like bastard dared to have even the slightest ugly dark intention towards me… … .

My lips are naturally chewed.

Wasn’t Solliet the poor, pitiful person he admired in the first place?

By any chance, are beautiful people the kind of idiots that everyone likes, regardless of gender or age?

Elise thought quietly and got up. Her anger and bitterness were suppressed.

Instead, he picked up one of the plush toys that filled his bed and dissected it. He injected Kuki’s magic core and magic spell into that body.

This time it was a rabbit again.

A little more white rabbit.

Elise nodded calmly and muttered.

“Cookie, resurrection.”
