Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"Whatever you want."

"Eh?"

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

It's not even noon now, and there's still a long way to go until six in the afternoon. The preparation time given to them is quite generous, which is more beneficial to them.

The opponent doesn't seem to think they can win the game at all, so they act so indifferent, right?

Such a contemptuous attitude towards them made Sandora couldn't help but glare at each other's leaving figures, but in any case, they did gain more time.

Shandora also left with Mandela, preparing to stabilize the chaotic situation in the area and integrate the existing forces before making plans.

As a result, only [No Name] and his group were left in the stage area again.

"that……"

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

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

"..."×n

Everyone looked embarrassed. It was somewhat inappropriate to ask for a meal when the Demon King was so serious about the attack. However, after Fujimaru Ritsuka mentioned it, they seemed to feel a little hungry.

——Then let’s eat first.

…

Fortunately, there doesn't appear to be an attack outside of the stage area. But when the devil attacks, most shops on the street have closed their doors, and restaurants are no exception.

So they just found a clean place nearby and took out the food they brought for a picnic.

While eating, they also began to share the information they had obtained——

The girl who was originally captured by Ritsuka Fujimaru was named La Ting, the man who fought against Izayoi was named Weser, and the giant soldier destroyed by Ritsuka Fujimaru was named Shutrom by the demon king.

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

Apart from these names, the only information left is the fighting methods of the three opponents.

"Break the hypocritical inheritance and establish a real inheritance..."

Murmuring the second victory condition, Black Rabbit asked Jin on the side:

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

"Feel sorry,"

Ren put down the sandwich in his hand, shook his head guiltily and said:

"I haven't deciphered the meaning yet. So far, the only conclusion I can draw is..."

"Wait a moment."

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

"Speaking of which, wasn't this little brother specially summoned by Ritsuka to be a helper in solving puzzles?"

"So, has this puzzle expert come to any conclusions so far?"

Izayoi's words, in addition to the mentality of watching the fun, also have a bit of a test, right?

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

"--certainly."

Holmes moved his eyes away from the black contract document in his hand, looked up at the crowd, and chuckled:

"Actually, if the folk legend "The Piper of Hamel" and the related inheritance that I know are not too different from the records in the Little Garden, then——"

"I've got the full truth of it."

"...?!!"×n

“Anyway, let’s talk about the conclusion first——

The so-called 'break the false inheritance and establish the real inheritance' means 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 painted the flute player. "

"That's the truth about the second victory condition."

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

"..."

Regarding the answer directly thrown out by Holmes, Black Rabbit, Kuon Asuka and others couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing whether it was true or false. On the side, Kaikai Izayoi and Jin had a thoughtful expression on their faces, and the atmosphere was like this for a while. fell into silence.

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

"What's wrong with Holmes kissing you? Haven't you been the Riddler before? This time you told all the truth at once!"

Hearing this, Holmes smiled helplessly and said:

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

"Hey, really...?"

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka expressed doubts about his remarks. She stared closely into Holmes's eyes, and the other party responded with a standard smile unmoved.

"…Wait, wait a minute—!"

At this time, Kuon Asuka's incredible voice sounded, and not only Kuon Asuka, but also everyone else in [No Name] looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Holmes in surprise.

"Ritsuka, the name you called him just now was...Fu, Sherlock Holmes? Could the other person's full name be - Sherlock Holmes?"

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

“If you’re referring to Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective novels, Sherlock Holmes, that’s me.”

"I...!?"

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and looked at each other in disbelief.

Even Kaikai Izayoi, who was the first to attack, could not help but spread his hands and exclaimed:

"Hey, hey, no matter what, it's too exaggerated to even invite such a super big name -?!"

In this small garden where hundreds of millions of Asura gods and Buddhas gather, it is not unusual for fictional characters in novels to appear.

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

However, the popularity of the former is nothing compared to the super detective who is known to almost everyone and is famous all over the world!

Even Kuon Asuka, a purdah lady who lived just after the war, had read the "Sherlock Holmes" series, and in the era of Izayoi, there were countless related derivative works.

What's more, even if they haven't read "Sherlock Holmes", there are also many people who have heard of Sherlock Holmes!

The corners of Holmes' mouth curled up slightly, obviously very satisfied with everyone's reaction. Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka also smiled and said:

"Well, that's it anyway."

"Since it was Holmes himself who told 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 is Sherlock Holmes!

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

"Compared with a real detective, is there really a visible gap?"

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 that he cannot figure out, let alone the truth.

However, the other party was able to deduce the complete truth in such a short period of time not long after being summoned. Such reasoning ability could not be described as 'terrifying'.

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