L-N 4: Super Detective Luxia strikes again!

L-N 4: Super Detective Luxia strikes again!

''We, the proud citizens of Astra, will never succumb to the evil!''

'''' Oooh! ''''

''We, the proud humanity, will prevail!''

'''' Oooh! ''''

''Everybody! It's time for us to rise!''

'''' Oooh! ''''

A strange scene is unfolding in front of me.

''Do you have any idea about this?'' I ask the fiery girl standing beside me.

''Do I look like I know anything?'' She replies in an annoyed tone.

Scarlett really doesn't know anything, huh. So why is she grumbling... oh.

She came back to Heisenberg for family matters and missed out on the huge fight happening here, apparently. Pfft...

Either way, it seems I've also missed out on quite a few interesting events. Obviously, I've received news during my stay in Neveah, but I didn't expect it to be this influential.

No, I did expect it to be influential, just not in this way.

The instant I arrive at Astra, I see numerous speeches like this one happening across the city. It seems that they are motivated to get stronger after seeing the military doing heroic acts as the incident unfolds.

At least, that's how the media is interpreting this phenomenon.

Prying into people's minds, I realized that they idolize a person named Graham, the grandmaster guarding the city, and, of course, my cool boss, Aurora.

The latter, more so than the former.

Good for you, boss. You're a proper idol now.

Oh, there's one more thing. After seeing off the attendant of the imperial palace, who comes out to greet me, I learn that the emperor is about to announce the Holy Sword's holder. It's just a rumor at the moment, though.

A rumor that will spread quite quickly, I'm sure.

I think it might be an intentional rumor spread by the imperials themselves to avoid shocking the people too much since, y'know, the selection period hasn't even started yet.

Is it boss?

It fits her, being a light element holder and all.

No good. I'm too curious.

''Where are you going?''

''To my dorm.''

''I'll go with you.''

''Okay?''

Turning to the door, I loudly shout my slogan—

''Super Detective Luxia, marching!''

''Shut up, please...''

Criminal file number one: Kaiser Kassius Astra.

''Hahah, I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you properly, saintess.''

Translation: We can't be bothered to waste resources on such trivial matters when our city is still in chaos.

Sadly, it is right of him to think so. I long for a day when my influence is so strong that they will welcome me extravagantly, even if they are in shambles!

''About Silaerob? Hm... I think she is someone from whom we need to stay vigilant. Her intentions are unknown.''

Translation: Silaerob is an interesting young miss. She is definitely on the side of justice, and I am merely pretending to be ambiguous to test the heirs and the officials.

Mhm! That's a good mindset, old man! Boss is indeed a cute young miss, and she is not only cool but charming!

Criminal file number two: Killian Kassius Astra.

''Good day, saintess. I hope you had a fruitful trip.''

Translation: Saintess of Neveah... if I can make ties with her, I will definitely gain a significant advantage. Should I strike now that Neveah is weakened?

Yeah, um... I definitely didn't want to hear that. I won't marry you, idiot.

''Silaerob... I think we need foolproof measurements regarding this person. She is too strong and uncontrollable of a force not to contain.''

Translation: We need to put a leash on her as soon as possible.

I don't even need to translate that, huh... either way, you've already lost a lot of points for the throne, oh idiotic prince.

Criminal file number three: Sierra Alaina Astra.

''Saintess.''

Translation: Ah, it's the unhinged girl. So she's back.

It's the unhinged girl here~! Guess who's back? Back again?

''Silaerob again... no, Silaerob, right? I think she is... interesting.''

Translation: I want to meet Silaerob and engage in a deep conversation with her. I also want to peel off that mask so badly.

No, I'm serious. She's really thinking about having a 'deep' conversation with the boss. This person... she might even be a bigger fan of the boss than Claire.

Though, her love is kinda twisted.

What kind of love is it that makes her want to chain the other person up?

Oh, wait. Didn't I also think that about the boss the other day when Super Detective Luxia appeared...?

Eheheh... sorry, sorry...
