why am I writing down everything

Morning, Misane. Was worried you'd never wake up. How are you faring?

Good.

Hm. Right, first time overseas for you, Misane.

Hmph! Don't fret it. Not as bad as you'd think.

...

I'm not keen on him... Always so frivolous, I can't get a hold.

Then what's the meaning of all this friendliness between you two as of late?!

A father knows, Misane... You've been going to town outside of work plenty.

State your reasons!!!

That grown man who still wears a BitPhone like rabbit ears?!

That's when it comes to criminals!! Unacceptable... I will not accept...

Nngh! ...Right. Let's depart at once.


...

Let's hope. I'll throw you overboard if you do anything amiss.

We're off.


Did you get our bags sorted?

Hm. ...Did you hear a loud sound earlier?

Hrm. I'll bet it's the very same guy who was making a ruckus in the grand hall.

Yeah. Said he was a magazine writer or editor... He was doing an interview and it turned into an argument, so he was going around taking out his anger.

The guards got him quick, though. Sheesh... It's still not pleasant.

...

Just had a bad feeling...

Right... Misane, don't leave your room unless there's something important. And keep the door locked tight.

Don't let anyone but me inside. Especially that rabbit-eared...


Hah, well... Not much choice on the open sea. Shouldn't be that rusty, I hope. ...Hrm. Already dead. The cause of death was a fast-acting poison... Time of death was 21 minutes, 58 seconds ago. The room is a mess, but... no visible wounds on the body.

... Yes... There's a small quantity on the surface which matches the poison detected in the victim's body. I'm also curious about this memo pad. ...There's a name written on it. "Natsukage"...

What?

Alright. Let's compare with the passengers' fingerprint data.

Oh? ...You all right?

Well, be careful.


Sorry to bother you. We just figured we needed to talk.

I am Toukai Mikoto. As my daughter there told you, I'm with the police. State your names and professions.

Understood. ...And it's Natsukage who found the victim.

True, she is my daughter. But while still an apprentice, her conjectural and reasoning abilities are superb. Don't underestimate her.

...You know him?

The Master Program isn't perfect. A skilled enough engineer can falsify that data.

You're trying to do the questioning yourself... Are you sure about that?

You have no right to call me "dad"!!

... ...Sure, fine. If you're at a loss for anything, ask me. This is the information we have at present. You should skim through it.


I didn't give you permission to enter the crime scene!!

I won't recognize it!!!

There aren't any surveillance cameras around the room. ...Hmph, talk about insecure.

I'm going then. I'll call them to my room, Room 103. Come when you've got the info.


...Then please calm down, sir.


...Pardon me. Misane, new evidence.

While you were talking, Nanashi told me to check the scene again, so I did. And this is what I found. Behind a curtain in the corner... A crumpled page from a memo pad.

..."Natsukage," "Yoh." That is your name, isn't it?


...Can I have a second? I talked to the workers. It does seem it was another worker who brought the cake.

However, something they said did interest me. ...The one who ordered the sponge cake, and took it to the room, was Ms. Miumi.


Go ahead.


...Looks to me like you've got it all together.


Pardon me, Misane. Now that that's done, I need the materi... YOU!!!!! Why are you in Misane's room?!?!?!

Step away!!!! Don't get within a 5-meter radius of Misane!!! No, don't even get in her line of sight!!!!!

And do NOT call me "dad"!!!!!!
