Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"Whatever you want."

"Eh?"

Regarding the negotiation time given by Sandra, Pest just nodded nonchalantly, which surprised Sandra herself.

It is not even noon yet, and there is still a long way to go before six in the afternoon, which gives them plenty of time to prepare, which is more advantageous for them.

It seems like the other party doesn't think they can win the game at all, so that's why they act so nonchalant, right?

Such contemptuous attitude made Sandra couldn't help but glare at their departing backs, but no matter what, they did buy more time.

Sandra also took Mandela away, preparing to stabilize the chaotic situation in the area first, integrate the existing forces and then make plans.

Thus, [No Name] and his group were the only ones left in the stage area again.

"that……"

After looking at each other, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand and suggested:

"It's almost noon now anyway, why don't we go have a meal first?"

"..."xn

Everyone's faces turned awkward. It was somewhat inappropriate to suggest eating in such a serious situation as the Demon King was about to attack. However, after Fujimaru Ritsuka mentioned it, they seemed to be feeling a little hungry.

——Then let’s eat first.

……

Fortunately, the area outside the stage didn't seem to have been attacked yet. But with the demon king coming, most of the shops on the street closed their doors, and the restaurants were no exception.

So they just found a quiet place nearby, took out the food they brought and had a picnic.

While eating, they also began to share the intelligence they had obtained.

The girl who was originally captured by Fujimaru Ritsuka was named Latin, the man who fought with Izayoi Sakamaki was named Weser, and the Giant Soldier destroyed by Fujimaru Ritsuka was named Shustrom by the Demon King.

As for the name of the demon king, it is unknown. We only know that his gift is called [Black Death Spot Demon King].

Apart from this name, the only other information we have is the fighting methods of the three opponents.

"Break the false heritage and establish the true heritage..."

Muttering the second victory condition, Kuro Rabbit asked Jin beside him:

"Master Ren, do you know the truth about this victory condition?"

"Feel sorry,"

Ren put down the sandwich in his hand and shook his head guiltily.

"I haven't figured out what it means yet. So far, the only conclusion I can draw is..."

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly interrupted Jin's speech, then looked at Holmes next to Fujimaru Ritsuka and said with a smile:

"Come to think of it, wasn't this guy summoned by Ritsuka specifically to help solve the puzzle?"

"So, what conclusions has this puzzle solver come to so far?"

Besides the mentality of watching the fun, what Izayoi Sakamaki said also had a bit of a test in it, right?

Because of his speech, everyone turned their attention to this mysterious helper whose name and identity were still unknown, with inquiry and curiosity in their eyes.

"--certainly."

Holmes shifted his gaze from the black contract document in his hand, looked up at the crowd, and chuckled:

"In fact, if the folk legend of "The Pied Piper of Hamel" and the related traditions that I know of are not too different from the records in the box garden, then-"

"I have got the whole truth of it."

"......?!!"

"Anyway, let me first state the conclusion -

The so-called "breaking the false heritage and establishing the true heritage" requires destroying all the wrong stained glass in the current area and finding the only stained glass that records the correct legend, that is, the stained glass that only depicts the flute player."

"This is the truth about the second victory condition."

"Besides that, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"..."

Black Rabbit, Kuroto Asuka and others could not help but look at each other in confusion at the answer Holmes gave them, not knowing whether it was true or false. Izayoi Sakamaki and Jin on the side had a thoughtful expression on their faces, and the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.

At the same time, even Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Holmes in surprise and said:

"Holmes kiss you, what's wrong with that? Didn't you always work as a riddle teller? This time you actually told the whole truth at once!"

Hearing this, Holmes smiled helplessly:

"I must clarify that this is a serious misunderstanding of me. I just don't like to speak out unsure speculations. As for the confirmed truth, I will of course announce it."

“Oh, really…?”

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka expressed doubt about his words. She stared into Holmes' eyes, but the other party responded with a standard smile without being moved.

“…Wait, wait a minute—!”

At this time, Kuon Asuka's voice of disbelief sounded, and not only Kuon Asuka, but other people in [No Name] also looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Holmes in surprise.

"Ritsuka, the name you called him just now was... Holmes? Could his full name be Sherlock Holmes?"

Hearing this, Holmes also began to introduce himself consciously, and chuckled:

"If you mean Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective novels, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, then that is definitely me."

“I…!?”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp and looked at each other in disbelief.

Even Izayoi Sakamaki, who was the first to attack, couldn't help but open her hands and scream:

“Hey, hey, hey, no matter what, it’s too much to invite such a big star, right?!”

In this small garden where billions of Asuras, gods and Buddhas gather, it is not uncommon for fictional characters from novels to appear.

For example, the demon king from the legend related to "The Pied Piper of Hamel" that they are facing now is an example.

However, the former's fame is nothing compared to the super detective in front of him who is almost known to everyone and famous all over the world!

Even the reclusive lady Kuon Asuka, who lived in the immediate post-war period, had read the Sherlock Holmes series, and in the era in which Izayoi Sakamaki lived, there were countless derivative works related to it.

What's more, even if they have not read "The Sherlock Holmes Collection", there are still many people who have heard of the name of Sherlock Holmes!

Holmes's mouth curled up slightly, and he was obviously very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka also smiled and said:

"Well, that's it anyway."

"Since Holmes himself gave the truth, there shouldn't be any problem."

Everyone nodded in complete agreement. After the name 'Sherlock Holmes' came out, their original doubts were completely dispelled.

——After all, that’s Sherlock Holmes!

At this time, Izayoi Sakamaki couldn't help but sigh:

"Compared to a real famous detective, there is indeed a visible gap between you and me?"

Through the information just now and the knowledge stored in his mind, he has actually deduced a lot of things, but there are still many things he can't figure out, let alone the truth.

However, the other party was able to deduce the complete truth in such a short time after being summoned. It is not an exaggeration to describe such reasoning ability as "terrifying".

"Well, great detective, could you please explain the whole story to us in detail?"
