[Prank of the Gods] Memory countdown

Compared to Kusanagi Yui and others who were frightened by the screams but didn't know why, Sawai Morixia was the person closest to the scene.

——The murder scene.

She was originally the victim who was caught by mistake and then taken to the garden for a picnic, but a certain cat who came and settled down soon indulged in enjoying the surrounding and care of many girls.

——In fact, the snacks brought by these girls actually included shredded squid. The stupid cat who has no resistance to fish almost surrendered immediately╮╭

→_→Please despise her to your heart's content, it doesn't matter.

In short, the stupid cat who turned her resistance into enjoyment really relaxed completely, so when the scream sounded close at hand, she was immediately blocked by the shredded squid, and her throat was almost suffocated. Make a tragedy!

——No, no, don't get me wrong, that's not what she meant by the murder scene.

When she followed the screaming girl's voice—in fact, she didn't spend too much effort at all, all the girls who saw what happened consciously backed away, and let the place out of the way. A huge open area.

The flowers in the garden are lush and dense, like satin and brocade.

And on the ground of a certain flourishing flower bush, there is faintly dark dried blood stains, walking along the trace of blood, within a short while, you can see the broken limbs buried deep in the bushes.

In front of her was an arm that had begun to rot, and further in her line of sight, it was still covered by flowers, it was not difficult to guess that it was the body of the owner of this arm.

——So, the murder scene mentioned just now is not an exaggeration, but a real encounter, a murder case.

Having said that, although it is often said that seeing a black cat will cause unfortunate things to happen, but she is obviously covered in white hair, why did these girls encounter such a bad thing?

What if they have a psychological shadow on the cat and don't invite her to eat shredded squid?

╯︵┻━┻ You still think about this kind of thing at this time, stupid cat, your nerves are really connected to a different dimension!

******

After all, it was a big event, and Toth arrived at the scene soon.

In this campus ruled by the power of Zeus, it is unimaginable that a murder case happened strangely.

The most unbelievable thing is the tragic death of the corpse.

Sawai Morixia only took a rough look at first, but after Toth arrived and quickly arranged for the gods to maintain discipline and appease the personnel, she followed Toth to further investigate the corpse.

Judging from the remaining fragments of the school uniform on the body, he should also be a student in the school—of course, this is the academy built by Zeus, and it is impossible for other people to break in, so the possibility that the deceased is an outsider can be completely ruled out .

However, due to the rotten relationship, the deceased has been changed beyond recognition, and there is no way to determine his identity for a while.

In addition, there were countless scratches all over the body of the deceased, as if scratched by extremely sharp objects. The most terrifying thing was that there was a huge gash from the neck to the abdomen of the deceased, which was a true portrayal of disembowelment. !And in the opening, all the internal organs of the deceased disappeared!

"The wounds on the deceased's severed arm and stomach are extremely irregular, as if they were directly torn open by hand. No, it is not accurate to say that it is a hand. It should be claws... and the wounds on the deceased also resemble the murderer's wounds. Claw marks that stop the dead from fleeing and imprisoning him."

"That is to say, the murderer who committed this case is a guy with sharp claws, most likely, a beast."

Listening to Toth's deduction, Sawai Morixia suddenly remembered the day after he bled all over his body.

At that time, she was attracted by the strange smell in the air, and found that the bloody smell in the garden was still strong and had not dissipated. At that time, she thought it was because she had bled too much, so it hadn't dissipated after a night. Thinking about it now , maybe the corpse was already here at that time.

——What carelessness!

If her guess is correct, that is to say, this male corpse has been in the garden for at least two or three days!

******

"Matsuura!"

There was a sudden exclamation from the crowd blocked by the gods, followed by a boy who broke through the barrier and rushed in, and ran to the side of the deceased. , Knelt down when his feet softened.

"Matsuura!"

Sawai Morixia stared at the heartbroken boy and scratched his head thoughtfully.

She thought this boy looked familiar... Where had she seen him?

Subconsciously, her eyes drifted to the girl Yui, Sawai Morixia stared, and suddenly realized when she had seen this crying boy!

He was one of the duo who confessed to Yui, the guy who encouraged the other to confess!

So, could this dead person be...

Sawai Morixia swallowed his saliva, and carefully looked at the vague appearance of the deceased boy's figure again.

Looking at it this way, it does look a bit like...

"You knew the dead man?"

On the side, Totella picked up the boy who was crying bitterly and went straight to interrogation.

"Well, his name is Matsuura Daishi, and he is my good friend."

Toth frowned and asked, "In that case, why didn't you notify the school of his disappearance for several days?" Since you are a good friend, don't you have this level of concern?

"In fact, Matsuura failed to confess his confession not long ago, and he has been in a low mood. Recently, he said that he wanted to go out alone to relax, and he asked for leave from school..." The boy choked again in sadness, and then tried to calm down and continued. , "I was just worried that he might be Matsuura, so I rushed in to confirm, but I couldn't believe it, it could really be him..."

As soon as the words were finished, the boy's tears couldn't stop and began to flow again.

That's right, for him, not only was the deceased a good friend, so he was particularly sad, but he might also be more afraid of the tragedy of his friend's death.

But... I really didn't expect that the boy who died tragically... was really the one who confessed to the girl back then.

******

"...Although such a vicious incident happened in the school, it is precisely because of this that we cannot be crushed. The booth work of the cultural festival continues, and the program is also prepared as usual. We must use the fullest attitude and the most positive enthusiasm Get through this difficult time with the most tenacious perseverance!"

"The above are the original words of Zeus."

"But Mr. Toth, there was a murder in the school, could it be—"

Kusanagi Yui was about to speak, but was stunned by Toth's cold gaze, and was speechless for a while.

Toth turned his eyes slightly, and said, "You don't need to intervene in the murder, the school will handle it by itself, and you don't have to worry about it in the future."

"But--"

Another cold gaze shot at the person who spoke: "Apollo, as the president of the student council, you should take the lead in performing your duties as a student, instead of taking the lead in disobeying the teacher."

"……Yes."

******

"Is it difficult?"

In the library, Sawai Morixia looked at Toth, who had been in one motion for several hours, and couldn't help asking.

You have been staring at the report of the deceased, almost burning holes in the paper, did you see anything?

Listening to her question, Toth finally raised his head and gave her some attention, but the gaze that looked at her was a bit deep.

"...is my face blooming?"

"Okay, I'm not kidding, may I ask what happened to Totsang?"

——Looking at her with such a strange gaze really makes me feel panicked no matter what.

"Have you ever thought about what it means if the murderer is a beast?"

Inexplicably such a sentence, Sawai Morixia decisively shook his head to express that he did not understand.

"How many beasts with sharp claws are there in this school? Although Anubis looks like a canine, he doesn't have sharp claws."

"—In this school, you are the only one who truly possesses the sharp weapon of claws."

【In this school, you are the only one who truly possesses the sharp weapon of sharp claws. 】

Although he didn't want to admit it, Sawai Morixia understood that what Toth said was indeed true.

She's the only guy in this school who actually has claws.

If she can't find an alibi for the time of the murder, she will definitely become the first suspect.

——So, where should she find an alibi?

******

"Miss Cat."

There was a call from behind, Sawai Morixia stopped, looked at the person coming and tilted his head: "Badr, why are you here?"

"Although Mr. Toth said that, he is really worried about this case."

"Eh?"

"The place where the crime happened is at the school. The victim's death is so miserable. If the murderer is not caught as soon as possible, I can't rest assured."

In particular, as long as the thought of the scene where the murderer poked his tentacles towards Yui-san, he couldn't calm down.

"Sure, the murderer must be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible!"

"Well, that's right." Her reputation and innocence are at stake, and she can't let that guy get away with it!

"Badr, let's see if there are any clues left at the scene together!"

"no problem!"

Badr and Sawai Morixia, who quickly concluded the alliance treaty, soon separated to explore the scene.

And Sawai Morixia, who searched the left part of the garden, returned to the original place without finding anything. Seeing that Bader was also searching other places, he also left the garden and wanted to try his luck in a nearby place to see if there would be any murderer left behind. under the clues.

Sawai Morixia was fascinated by finding it, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Bader's whereabouts. The distance between the two gradually opened up, and soon they disappeared within the sight range of each other.

——so much so that when Sawai Morixia realized that it was getting late and wanted to go back with Badr, he was no longer to be seen.

Guessing that Bader had found a farther area, Sawai Morixia recalled the approximate location where he left before, and searched all the way there.

The further he walked, the more frightened Sakai Morixia felt.

The breath in the air seemed to convey danger, she bowed her body vigilantly, and walked forward little by little.

——However, all the guards collapsed when they saw Baldr who fell on the ground not far away.

"Badr!"

Just as she was about to run close to Bader, Sawai Morixia's hair all stood on end in reflex, and she instinctively turned around to fight, but what remained in her pupils was only the sky full of colorful colors.

——In the end, what happened...

Consciousness began to drift away, and eventually all of them were exhausted, completely turning into darkness.

——Wake up again, and what greeted Sawai Morixia was turned upside down.

Loud and noisy voices.

Badr, who was seriously injured and unconscious.

as well as.

On her paws, there was blood so clear and sticky that it made her panic.
