Audrey, Fuchsia, Maddelena…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The three people I knew left one by one…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Was the person who hurt Maddelena really Fuchsia?

That’s odd…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

What was the meaning behind what they just said?

From their tone, it seems like they know who actually hurt Maddelena…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

But Maddelena at the time said she didn’t see clearly who it was…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

They’re all Urbino, so why did Maddelena not try to clear Fuchsia of suspicion?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Who are they trying to defend? Or maybe they have other plans…

.

.

Shuffle

.

Shuffle

.

.

.

.

Or…

.

.

BOO!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

AAAAAAHHHH!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Bai-Bai Mo…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Hahaha,

Hey Michele, your reaction was hilarious...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So, why do you look so sad?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Why…

You already know why…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Because Maddelena is gone?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Indeed, you two got along pretty well…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It’s not just that,

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Audrey and Fuchsia are also gone.

Moreover, Fuchsia was also disqualified due to that “charge”...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Mhm, it’s really hard to accept,

I understand.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It’s not as simple as understanding or not!

.

.

.

.

Clench

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Tell me,

Was the person who hurt Maddelena really Fuchsia?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Hmmmm…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

…I can’t give you an answer to that.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

But as for what I told Fuchsia,

I said that I hoped she’d stay in Urbino.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That’s good to hear, thanks.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Hahaha! Why are you thanking me?

That being said…if you want to join Urbino, then you’re free to join anytime!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

How DARE you say such things to a PUS investigator!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sigh…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Then...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Is there a reason why Urbino members are leaving, one after another?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Pfft…

Hahahaha

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You’re very sharp, no wonder you’re a PUS investigator.

That being said...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

George Lee’s daughter is quite impressive.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

How do you know about my dad?…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Ah, I also did a bit of investigating on you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Even I was investigated…

Wait a second, also?

So you--

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That’s enough.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That’s unimportant.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As for the reason why Urbino members are leaving one after another…

I also want to find out why.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

But I have a pretty good guess…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Regardless, what’s happened can’t be undone.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It’s pretty hard to say,

But…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I also want to leave the assessment.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Wha-what!?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Haha, I just joined midway, and leaving so soon after arriving.

You’re probably wondering why I’m even here, right?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So why are you…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I’ve simply done everything I wanted to do here.

.

.

.

.

Rise

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I was intending on staying and observing for a bit, but…

As for what’s coming next, I’m leaving that to you and Celestia, Ms. Investigator.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Hold on, stop trying to be mysterious!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

What do you mean by what’s coming next-

.

.

PAT

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I’m not being mysterious.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

That being said,

It’s probably for the best that you don’t know…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

For the both of us.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

…Really, what are you so cautious about?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Everyone acts on their own sense of justice.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Therefore, people with opposing ideologies are bound to cause conflicts.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I don’t know what you want to protect the most.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Whether it’s PUS, or your father, or something else altogether…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You have to be wary.

 

Especially--

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Of the people around you.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The people around me…?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The fact that Maddelena was injured shows that,

In this assessment, there are people willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You got this,

Investigator Michele!
