Part 2

The room was more modest than she thought it would be.

There were no extravagant fixtures, and although it was wide, there wasn’t that big of a difference from a student dormitory room. The Headmaster’s desk was large, and difficult-looking books lined the wall of bookshelves.

The Headmaster sat down on an oak chair.

Putting both of her elbows on the desk, she put her fingers together.

「In regards to this recent incident, just how much have you investigated so far?」

「There were seven people at the end of the year, and three people today. It’s most likely a kidnapping, and the reason to think that is──there were neither any notes left behind, nor any friends that received any consultations that would cause them to run away……it’s because there were those kinds of rumors -ssu. Also, there were stories that they were seen going to the old school building -ssu kedo.」

The old school building that was currently not being used was securely locked. It wasn’t possible to enter it without a teacher’s permission.

「The State Knight gentlemen are investigating the old school building as well.」

「I believed that they were -su kedo.」

On the contrary, every nook and cranny of the academy’s premises should have been investigated.

However, they haven’t found anything.

Horun spoke.

「But, I haven’t examined anything yet.」

From behind, bloodlust!?

Horun turned around at that unpleasant presence.

「ッ!?」

The door to the Headmaster’s room was opened by someone.

To think they wouldn’t even knock!

She put herself on guard.
