Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru - Volume 2 - Chapter 1.1

Interlude 1 

"…Eh, what was that about?" 

Wait a sec, especially that last bit. 

I was starting to think that it was quite the old memory, but how did it end up as an embarrassing episode of me? Shouldn’t this be a video revealing the truth to Siesta’s death? She took the chance to trap and humiliate me instead… 

"Ah, that was the wrong footage." 

"You did that on purpose, didn’t you!?" 

Siesta appeared on the screen once again, and tilted her head with a stoic look. 

Seriously, stop teasing me after a year already…. 

…But in hindsight, that’s the mutual relationship Siesta and I established back then when we abruptly went on  the journe y. 

"Grr, why didn’t Ma'am choose me, but this hideous guy Kimizuka…" 

"Calm down Charl, how can you be jealous of the me from four years ago? And don’t insult me along the way." 

"Grr, why does it feel like those two promised to get married four years ago…" 

"Calm down Natsunagi, and I don’t know why you’re saying such words of jealousy." 

"Haa, Kimizuka-san, you really are like a kid. You don’t understand a maiden’s heart." 

"From you, the youngest of us here, Saikawa?" 

Oy, could everyone stop with the chain reaction of a ruckus just because someone messed up… I had no energy to retort…. 

"Now then, I shall officially inform you of the details pertaining to my death??but since we have an opportunity, I shall give the four of you a hint." 

Siesta started off with this. 

"Don’t misunderstand any detail. Be certain of who said what, and always be suspicious of the happenings before your eyes." 

I hope you will remember this, s o she said to the four of us.. 

"Be suspicious, of what happens …" 

Natsunagi muttered away, and looked towards me. 

"Eh, then maybe, this isn’t Kimizuka…?" 

"Don’t take after Siesta’s description that I had a forgettable face if she doesn’t see me. You don’t have to inherit that will of the detective." 

She definitely didn’t mean that with what she said.. 

"With that established, I shall continue with the footage." 

Siesta said on the screen, and the scene changed.. 

"You still remember this, don’t you, assistant?" 

Depicted was a street of London. 

And there were two people entering a brick building together??Siesta and I. 

"I remember it’s…" 

It was a year and so ago. This was the building where we stayed and worked at. As for what happened here?? 

"Now, let us begin." 

Siesta informed us of her intent to continue, 

"Henceforth, I shall explain the circumstances of my death."
