When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 6: 3 Aiwass Moriarty_3

"...nothing much."

Aiwass smiled composedly, "Just, last night I had a very long dream... I dreamt that Yulia left me."

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt Yulia's body in his arms tense up sharply.

...Hmm?

A flicker of movement crossed Aiwass' mind.

As if to cover something up, Yulia suddenly asked, "Brother's wheelchair... how long must you use it?"

"Probably... about a year?"

As Aiwass spoke, he looked towards the old butler, "That's what the doctor said, isn't it?"

"Yes, Mr. Aiwass."

The old butler asked without hesitation, "So, you'll be taking a year off from school? After all, you have already taken three months off."

That was a lie.

For ordinary students, this was a mark of release from penalty, worthy of celebration; but for the proud Hayna, it felt like a slap on the face, burning and silencing her, leaving her mind blank.

Aiwass was giving her that feeling at this moment.

It was like waking from a dream upon seeing the report card—

"Yes, I want to participate in the investigation."

Aiwass suddenly became serious, "Since they kidnapped me once, there will be a second time. I can't rest easy leaving home until those cultists are cleansed; likewise, I can't sit idly at home waiting for an investigation result that I may not be able to accept—so I, too, want to join the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Hayna felt embarrassed. Undoubtedly, this was an implicit comment on the Supervisory Bureau's extremely slow investigative efficiency.

The Supervisory Bureau, very particular about "rules," must report everything to the higher-ups and follow standard procedures. These are the edicts of the knights in the Senate.

Because they can hardly uncover anything, they even have to request assistance from detectives. The "Sherlock" Hayna mentioned earlier is a detective who has recently become quite famous in the newspapers.

Sherlock graduated from Royal Law University years ago, but didn't choose to join the Supervisory Bureau, the Court of Law, or the Arbitration Hall. Now, he is a special counselor to the Supervisory Bureau, conducting investigations free from the myriad of regulations imposed by the bureau, and has successively cracked several major cases, his status now far surpassing that of his old classmates who entered the Supervisory Bureau after graduation.

"If Miss Hayna can't decide, feel free to report my words to your superior and ask for his opinion,"

Aiwass said calmly, with his hands crossed, "After all, according to the rules, you must submit all the content of this conversation to your superiors, mustn't you?"

For some reason, Aiwass at that moment reminded Hayna of an Inspector from the Supervisory Bureau.
