Chapter 4

I-I ain't scared at all.

Me, the Great Detective? Chicken? Nah, no way.

Hellooo. Is anyone theeere?

Eeeeee...

Ah, who am I kidding? I'm terrified! If anyone's there, just come out already, pleeease.

Just what are you doing here at this time of night?

S-So you've revealed yourself, trespasser!

Trespasser? Surely you've just described yourself?

But, no matter. I shall dispose of you at once.

Wait, wait, wait! I'm a guest at this estate! I heard about the mysterious light prowling the corridors at night and came to investigate!

............

Don't you believe me?! Look, here's my invitation!

Heck, if anything, I should be the one asking YOU questions! I'm guessing you're one of the servants here, right?

Only temporarily.

You see, the master here and my master are good friends.

Upon hearing that this estate was short-staffed, my master sent me to help out with the night shifts.

Although the affairs of other estates have little to do with me, orders are orders.

Great, so this is all the master of the estate's fault.

If the master's own servants didn't even know I was coming along, I guess it makes sense that they wouldn't know about you either.

Would you mind letting me get back to work? I'd like to finish my patrol already so I can leave.

Um, sure. Sorry for interrupting your work.

Farewell, then.

All right. And with that, all the mysteries have been solved!
