Chapter One Hundred ElevenA Missed Encounter Before long, the lecturer, a woman with high cheekbones, stepped onto the half-height wooden platform at the front of the small hall and projected her voice. “Good morning, kind and merciful ladies. I am Seviera Hedda. Today, I will share with you my experience in arranging household expenditures. This is divided into three parts. First, how a family with an annual income of around one hundred pounds should balance spending on food, housing, clothing,…-

Chapter One Hundred TenConfirmation After thinking for a short while, Klein decided to go home first and confirm one thing. Besides, he believed that if the Misfortune Puppet’s actions the previous night had not been specifically intended to show him the pattern on the paper, then when the Captain and the others conducted their follow-up inspection, they would certainly discover clues. Whether or not he reported it would not affect the overall situation. If the opposite were true, then the…

Chapter One Hundred NineDeduction The sound of rapidly approaching footsteps entered Klein’s ears from afar, making him, who stood at the duty-room entrance, feel considerably more settled. “What happened?” Leonard was the first to arrive, revolver in hand, his voice low and grave. Seeing that he nearly could not stop himself in time, Klein immediately remembered something Rozanne had once mentioned: three years ago, when Leonard had first become a Sleepless and had not yet adapted to the…

Chapter One Hundred EightLate Night In the small hours of the morning, beneath the earth, where ventilation was good yet silence ran deep, yellow gaslight, protected by glass, shone steadily without flickering over empty, peaceful corridors. Klein sat inside the duty room, casually flipping through the newspapers, magazines, and books piled before him. At the same time, he kept a small portion of his attention on the outside, guarding against anyone rushing toward Chanis Gate. His coat and top hat…

Chapter One Hundred SevenFors “A writer?” Audrey observed Glaint’s reaction and asked in an apparently casual tone. This belonged to normal conversation, so she did not avoid Anne, the personal maid accompanying her. Glaint straightened his posture and laughed. “Yes. I believe you should have read her work: Stormwind Mountain Villa, which has received wide praise over the past two months.” “I like that book, especially the calm Miss Sissy,” Audrey answered with a gentle…

Chapter One Hundred SixKlein the Painter After eight o’clock, inside the Moretti family dining room. Looking at the plate with only a shallow layer of soup left at the bottom, Benson raised a hand to cover his mouth and let out a satisfied burp. “Although this is already the third time I have eaten it, I still find it more than delicious. The sweet tartness of the tomatoes and the resilient texture and very special freshness of the oxtail have fused together perfectly. Klein, what a pity.…

Chapter One Hundred FiveSpirit Channeling Klein unscrewed the cap of the small metal vial, brought it near his nose, and smelled a slightly irritating scent that nevertheless refreshed his mind. This was Holy Night Powder, made from herbs such as deep-sleep flowers, dragonblood grass, crimson sandalwood, and mint. Because its preparation was simple, after Klein replenished his materials at the underground market, he had found a chance to mix a bottle on the spot. Now it came perfectly in handy. He…

Chapter One Hundred FourMr. Z One pocket. Two pockets. Three pockets… Klein quickly searched out a bloodstained leather wallet, a Deweyville Library borrowing card, two brass-colored keys hanging together, an empty pipe with nothing stuffed inside, a sheathed dagger, and several sheets of letter paper folded with meticulous neatness. After setting everything except the letters aside on the ground, he straightened and, while he was at it, cast a couple of glances at the wallet, confirming that it…

Chapter One Hundred ThreeA Man Who Heeds His Heart “Residence: Number 19, Howes Street area?” As he memorized the information, Klein keenly grasped a detail. “Mm. Welch’s residence was in the Howes Street area. The Divination Club is in the Howes Street area. This cloth merchant named Sirius Arapis also lives in the Howes Street area… “Viewed this way, it is not strange at all that Welch knew Hynas Vincent. He might even have met him through Sirius Arapis…” All at once, Klein…

Chapter One Hundred TwoThe Cloth Merchant The more Klein thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Otherwise, who would borrow those particular journals for no reason? “Mm. Ancient relics on the main peak of the Hornacis is such an obscure field. Apart from corresponding lecturers and associate professors, ordinary enthusiasts probably have not even heard of it. Even the original owner, a university graduate from the history department, only learned of it from the Antigonus family…
