Chapter 35 Genuine
When Frontier smashed the wall, all the students around heard the sound.
Everyone followed Frontier’s gaze and looked at Queenie. Queenie’s face and ears were all red.
“It will take a moment.”
“You, you, you, are you really crazy?!”
Quinier felt a cold wind blowing from the cracked wall. The feel of the wind let me know that the scene I was watching was real.
Meanwhile, more students flocked in and watched the confrontation between Quunier and Frontier. ‘What? What’s up?’ Whispers came from all over the place.
Queenie really wanted to die. Oh, so that’s why Frontier broke the wall? Are you going to jump over there?
“… … Frontier students.”
At that time, there was a person calling the frontier with a cold voice.
It was teacher Jane.
When Frontier turned around, Jane looked at Frontier as if her eyes could pierce through.
“Before you talk to the Queenie, you want to talk to me?”
“… … Oh, I’m very busy with work.”
It was the frontier who avoided Jane’s gaze, but Jane grabbed his shoulder and did not let go.
“Me too, just a moment.”
Jane laughed. Frontier laughed too.
Eventually, Frontier followed in Jane’s footsteps. Watching Frontier moving away, Queenie barely sighed.
To such a quinie, Frontier tilted his head and once again,
“Then see you after school. I’ll go to the senior’s classroom.”
“Okay, so turn it off!!”
It was the frontier who made a fuss in the hallway until the very end.
* * *
Damn, Jane was delayed more than I expected. No, it’s because of me.
I heard great nagging from Jane. Still, it was only taken into account in that the intention was a good deed. For the broken wall, the family will take care of the repair costs.
I went to Quinnier’s classroom after school and luckily he was waiting for me.
After confirming that I was there, my expression got worse all at once, but it doesn’t matter in the current situation.
“You were waiting. Fortunately, the.”
“Speak quickly. Because I am busy.”
“Not here. We move places.”
At my words, Queenie glanced at me. It was a suspicious look.
“Is it really that important? Enough to destroy my meek school life?”
“I came here to protect my former senior’s school life.”
I didn’t say anything wrong.
If what Gregory said was true, the Indus student hiding in Constell would be aiming for Quinier.
“… … Eh, I got it.”
Queenie stood up as if resigned.
“Where are you going?”
“Well, let’s go to the training room.”
“The training room? so far? There are just empty classrooms nearby.”
“I recently learned that ‘Whisper in the Wind’ isn’t perfect for security either.”
Soundproofing magic, whispering wind.
It’s not a clumsy thing that just reduces the sound, it completely blocks it, but it doesn’t completely block it as I thought it would. Just looking at Malia’s ‘sense sharing’ ability.
On the other hand, the training room itself has all considerations for training concentration, so the perfect treatment has already been completed when considering security.
“Hmm, okay, let’s see if it really matters.”
Although Quinnie was bothered, she obeyed.
… … of course.
I didn’t bother to talk about how to save travel because I’ll train in the training room after sending the Queenie away.
… … .
In the personal training room, I and Queenie sat facing each other at an appropriate distance.
I explained the situation to Quinier.
Among the many rumors, only the rumor of Quunier had a different smell.
Gregory linked all the rumors to Frontier so that as many students as possible were drawn to Frontier.
But the rumors about Quunier are heterogeneous. A malicious rumor directed only toward Quinier.
… … And because it is ‘true’, the quality is not good.
“That is, someone else?”
“yes. Amidst the buzz of rumors, someone had a chance.”
hmmm.
Queenie closed her eyes slightly and brought the tip of the fan to her lips. Those eyes slowly scanned from left to right. As if something was written in front of you.
I asked, looking at Quinier.
“Can anyone guess? Like Quinnier-senpai’s enemy.”
“… … If only my enemies were gathered, I would be able to fill Constell’s playground.”
what kind of life have you lived
Oh, come to think of it, I am no different.
“But wouldn’t there be a few among the students? The culprit is most likely a student at Constell.”
“I am a student… … .”
This time, Queenie’s head tilted.
“As a student, I don’t know. I always deal only with people from other families.”
It is certainly unlikely that Quinier would have made enemies with the other students. There probably won’t be time for that.
Then the enemy is also ‘Indus’. Are you aiming for the Quinnier family? purpose of money?
“… … By the way, Frontier.”
“Yes.”
“Actually, I’m a little suspicious of you too.”
Queenie glanced at me with those eyes. Like Queenie, those eyes had become the scale that discriminated me before I knew it.
“You did that to me before. ‘You don’t like people dying,’ he said.”
“… … that,”
“If you’re going to say, “Everyone hates that, are you really mad?” You used it to convince me. You knew it from the beginning.”
Doesn’t it go through that easily?
Of course, I know Quinnier’s ‘phobia of the corpse’. Since when and why?
However, as always, the phrase ‘trying through a game’ cannot be a reason.
However, if she recklessly lied to Queenie, it is easy for her, an informant and a merchant, to find out someday.
so that.
“It’s a secret.”
Unless I’m lying, that’s all I can say.
“… … What?”
Quinnier frowned.
“I can’t tell you.”
tuk-
Queenie put her fan on my chest.
It was a seemingly insignificant movement, but inside this fan, a blade capable of high-speed injection was built-in.
“Did I just say I was suspicious of you? What are you talking about?”
Quinnier has used a variety of means to obtain capitulation or confession from many people.
It includes even these death threats. This method is similar to Empress Philly.
I’m just worried that I’ll really die in front of Philly, but not in front of Quinier.
If the filly is gray, the quinie is white with black cellophane. It’s just wrapping up her kindness to the point of tears in a shell called evil.
So, from the point of view that, like me, I know that Quinnier is a formidable good man.
“Even so, I can’t tell you.”
Such threats are inevitably halved.
“… … great. Then answer only three things.”
And Queenie raised three fingers.
“one. Since when did you know my ‘weakness’?”
“It’s been a long time.”
Long before I entered this world.
“two. Did you hear about that weakness through ‘information’ or something?”
“no.”
I saw it myself.
“three. Have I ever shared my weaknesses with others? Or was there someone you knew when you found out about my weaknesses?”
“There is not.”
As long as anyone knows, that’s from the old world.
“… … .”
Queenie looked into my eyes. I was just telling the truth, so there was no heart pounding.
“Ok, fine.”
And Queenie took the debt.
The immediate test seemed to have passed.
“If not you, yes. There is a guy who can roughly predict.”
“Is that really true? Who are you?”
I leaned on information I didn’t expect.
If I can find the culprit quickly, I can’t ask for more. It would be better if I could catch the Indus tail.
“Oh, but before that.”
“before?”
Quinnier held out the fan again. This time it was in front of my nose.
“I have to pay back what I owe.”
“… … Are you in debt?”
When I asked, Queenie’s eyes lit up. It was a look that looked like, ‘Did you just forget it?’
“Have you forgotten?”
It was the correct look.
“Oh, what was it?”
“When the students being manipulated rushed into the auditorium! Don’t you remember when I used a mask to lure you in again?!”
oh
It was really indebted.
Many people helped to stop the students, but Quunier’s contribution was too clear and powerful.
More than anything,
“You know my weakness! You can’t do this!”
Yes. so that.
I nodded my head and said.
“sorry. I have been greatly blessed. Of course you have to repay it.”
“… … huh. okay. You know, get up right away. let’s go.”
“… … Where do you mean?”
“Where are you? it’s our house I have work to do.”
Saying that, Queenie shook her head and stood up.
I looked up at her and asked.
“Well, of course I’ll have to repay you, but I’ll do anything, can’t we do it a little later?”
For me, it is more important to find the culprit who mixed rumors.

No, isn’t that the case for Quunier as well?“no. Because the item arrived today. In the first place, I assumed that it was entrusted to you.”
what is this
So, isn’t it that they were going to use me from the beginning?
“And well, if I’m right, we can catch the culprit later.”
“Yes?”
“Anyway. You didn’t forget what happened at the museum, didn’t you?”
“… … ah.”
Are you talking about that fake picture?
Hopefully, the item has been brought in this time.
“Let’s use that power.”
Quinn looked at me and grinned.
It was the face of a ‘goblin’ that I had seen in a while.
* * *
Upon arriving at Quunier’s mansion, there was an unexpected hospitality.
“Welcome to the Viet family.”
“Ah yes. I apologize for the hospitality.”
I bowed my head to the man who looked like a butler.
The man grinned.
“I heard that you have very good emotions at a young age.”
“… … ah,”
I tried to say something, but Quunier, who was next to him, spoke confidently.
“okay. He is an appraiser who can determine the ‘genuine’ of any item at a glance.”
… … Right. Quinier introduced me as an appraiser.
Somehow, this welcome is understandable.
“Then come in. The owner has ordered many items.”
“Duchamp, you seem to have some kind of bone?”
“Is it possible?”
It seems that the butler’s name is Duchamp.
Quunier and Duchamp guided me through a light conversation with each other.
Indeed, there were a huge amount of all kinds of ornaments piled up at the place they arrived.
“The appraiser can sit over there. Our user will take care of placing the items on the shelf in front of you. Then you can proceed.”
The butler led me to a chair in the back. It was an old-fashioned chair somewhere, and a clean shelf was installed in front of it as the butler said.
If the item is placed on it, it will be at eye level with the person sitting in the chair. It was meticulous care.
“It must have been difficult on the way, would you like to take a break? Refreshments, tea and coffee are always available.”
“No, we start right away.”
I wanted to finish it quickly, so I sat down in the designated chair.
The butler nodded and called the servant.
“Well, the first item.”
The user carefully picked up his hand and placed an object on the shelf. It was a necklace. The studded jewel gave us a fair estimate of the price.
“The ruby embedded in the center is an item that has been processed flawlessly by the craftsman Brian,”
“It’s genuine.”
I interrupted the butler’s explanation and said.
As I said before, I want to finish it quickly.
“… … Genuine? Have you just started watching?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
At my words, the butler Duchon looked at me for a moment. His expression grew a little harsher, and he walked over to Quunier and whispered in a small whisper.
Upon hearing this, Quinier frowned. Quunier retorted, but as Duchon whispered with a more serious look, Quinier’s head tilted tiredly.
‘… … Oh, I’ll do some acting.’
It seemed like it was too late to finish it.
