Chapter 342

(342) Omitted Information

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 doujins.h.i.+ 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 doujins.h.i.+ 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 n.o.body 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, n.o.body 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 doc.u.ments 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 circ.u.mstances . 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 wis.h.i.+ng 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 doc.u.ments 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 .
