BXBX NOVEL Chapter 342
Translator: Tseirp
What did she mean by ‘buy Milky’s book’?
I had only journeyed with her for a short period of time .
But I knew the kind of doujinshi that she likes .
“Ichino-sama, is there really any meaning in purchasing Milky-san’s book? Perhaps it is an intentional mislead by Miri-sama or even Daijiro-sama?”
Carol asked .
Miri certainly – – gave off the vibe that she didn’t want me to chase after her .
But I shook my head .
“I don’t know about Daijiro-san but there is no possibility of that if this message is from Miri . That girl won’t do such a cowardly act for this kind of situation . ”
I could understand Milky’s genre of doujinshi by interacting with her for just less than a day . I lived with Miri for 12 years on Earth – – I had been her brother all that duration . Although I never realized that she was a reincarnation of the Demon Lord, I knew her choice of actions .
“Jofre, Elize . Were there anyone there?”
I asked Jofre and Elize after they came back from the room at the back .
“There was nobody in the office at the back . ”
“Yup, I wonder where did the three of them go?”
It wasn’t just Daijiro-san, Miri, and Milk, nobody was there?
I certainly don’t sense any presence from our surroundings .
In that case, they probably aren’t in this town?
But only Milky’s book remained here?
“Ichino-sama, I will search for clues of Daijiro-sama’s destination in the office at the back . ”
“Okay, thanks . By the way, Haru – – what are Jofre and Elize doing?”
“It looks as though they are feeding Centaur Rare Medals . ”
That’s right, the small gold medals that Jofre were holding – – were Rare Medals .
It was a drop item by unique monsters in dungeons and feeding it to monsters will have the effect of making them stronger .
Jofre unsparingly offered multiple of such Rare Medals to Centaur .
Even though one Rare Medal cost one gold coin or 100,000 sense – – equivalent to 1million yen .
Perhaps Centaur obediently exited My World because it wanted to eat Rare Medals?
“Hey, Haru . Are Rare Medals tasty?”
“Sorry . I like tough food but I don’t know about the taste of metal . ”
“I guess that’s a given . ”
I nodded and looked at Centaur .
If the already strong Centaur became even stronger, I might even lose to it .
“Ichino-sama, I’m back . ”
Carol returned from the office at the back .
“That was quick, Carol . ”
“The room called the office was empty . There were no documents or even a single piece of paper . ”
Then obviously it would be quick . Since there was nothing to investigate at all .
“But this was dropped . ”
Carol showed me 30 short strands of hair .
I see, Hair Examination?
A drowning person would cling to straws but I guess I cling to hairs .
And so I took out a notebook and performed Hair Examination .
That said, the information I received from Hair Examination was random . In the first place, I was not even confident that it was from somebody involved . It might even be the hair of a pizza delivery middle-aged man – – if there were any pizza delivery in this world .
Nevertheless, I still activated Hair Examination .
As expected, I didn’t get any good information .
Incidentally, there was just one strand of hair that I could not apply Hair Examination on . I wondered why but then Haru’s Counterfeit Appraisal reacted to it . In other words, I was convinced that it was that . It was amazing how it looked exactly like real hair though .
And then – –
“Hn? Something amazing came up . ”
I commented as I looked at the words recorded in the notebook .
【Individual number: 2531・5231・8989・1192・2960
Curse: 42
Hair Lifespan: 0】
“The hair lifespan is 0 …”
I was able to verify something . Hair Lifespan was not the age when the person loses all hair but the number of years left until hair loss .
In other words, my hair lifespan of 72 meant that it won’t fall off until I reach 92 years old .
“Erm, Master . What does this curse 42 mean?”
“ … No idea . Well, until I can determine who the hair came from, I can’t deduce anything from it . ”
And then, I appraised a long brown hair .
【Individual number: 3193・2918・3213・2951・3502】
The first 8 digits of the individual number were the same as mine .
Such a coincidence shouldn’t be possible in ordinary circumstances . Most probably the first 8 digits were influenced by parental genes .
Thinking about it that way, that hair was definitely Miri’s .
【Stress: 82】
…… She was overflowing with stress .
Well, that couldn’t be helped since she could not move about freely .
【Desire: 52】
… Desire – – what was she wishing for?
If I could decipher this, I might be able to understand Miri’s thoughts .
But in the end, this Hair Examination only gave me a string of numbers .
Without any knowledge of the meaning behind the numbers, there was nothing I could do .
I could not get any appraisal results that could be used as a reference with the other strands of hairs .
As expected, I have to understand the meaning of the numbers .
“If only I could understand the results of these hair appraisals . ”
“Ichino-sama . Suzuki-dono’s home may have a book regarding the appraisal results?”
“ – – That’s true!”
Now that she mentioned it, that guy studied to become a Magic Investigation Lab Member .
In that case, he might have documents regarding Hair Examination .
On an unrelated note, why was she referring to him as Suzuki-dono?
Well, she found out that he was a Baron so I guess that way of addressing him was appropriate .
“Carol will gather information on Daijiro-sama, Miri-sama, and Milky-san in this town so Ichino-sama and Haru-san can wait in Suzuki-dono’s home . ”
“Ah, we’ll do just that . Sorry for having you do this every time . Thanks . ”
After thanking her, Carol came closer to me and said soft enough that only I could hear her .
“If you want to thank me, please do so in bed tonight . ”
“Buhh . ”
What a thing to say .
Carol was a carnivore after all .
