“It would be easy if the sister was simply the culprit. Hearing about that would make it easier to write the report on this case later.”
Handling the ‘Unlaws’ incident is his job, but writing the report is part of the job too.
At the Cartesius Balldlum branch, Norman’s sister Sphera Hamish is the director, overseeing administration, liaising with nobles, covering up incidents, and giving overall instructions.
The scientist Jim Adamworth researches the abilities of ‘Unlaws’.… Read more

The abnormality of the ‘Unlaws’ can be applied in various ways and its range of uses expands through training.
However, to do so requires stabilizing the core fundamentals of the abnormality itself.
For example—a name.
By giving it a name and treating it as such, the abnormality stabilizes. The ‘Unlaws’ researchers said so, and it was Norman’s own rule of experience. To redefine oneself as outside of this world.
If you don’t understand it, at least give it a name.… Read more

The woman wished that no one would come.
She did not want to show her appearance to anyone.
She sat gasping in some unknown back alley.
She could hardly utter a word properly.
If someone approached, she would hurt them.
More than anything, she did not want to see that person.
The one who took her in after she had fled, unable to stay at home.
That’s why, even though she couldn’t meet them.… Read more

“Good for you, then. Even though it’s modified for your recoil tolerance, it still takes a toll on your body,” she comments.
“Plus, I’d have to file a report on the purpose and rounds used,” he adds.
“Yeah, and I’m the one who always writes those reports. So, what’s the second thing?”
“I learned a lot about your… taste in underwear, Norman.”
“…”
“And… there. It’s finished.”
Shizuku stands with a light bounce,
moving to pick up the violin from the bed.… Read more

[—-Monster!]
Mary screamed. Rejection. Resentment. You’re different. So we can’t be together.
[Monster!]
She screamed. Don’t come. Don’t approach. Don’t get involved.
The lingering echoes of the woman who was once most special to him howled in resonance.
The instant of being rejected and killing her with his own hands replayed over and over.
“—-Ah—Aah—-Aaaaah—–“
Something cracked within Alfred Curtis.
Each time the world turned upside down, the crack grew larger, creaking, shaking, breaking.… Read more

“You have your own ability, right? That’s what we want to know.”
“——”
“Tell us, Alfred. Unlike Mary, I’m familiar with Unlaws, and I even know some. Shizuku here too. We won’t reject you just for being different.”
“———”
His expression is like he’s laughing, or crying.
Like clinging to a cliff, having given up, only to have a hand reach out to save him.
“…Haa”
Alfred doesn’t notice Shizuku exhale with a vague smile beside the puzzled Norman.… Read more

“…Well, no, four of the five were servants, so it wouldn’t be that strange for them to see her in sleepwear. And the other was a doctor, so that’s not weird either.”
“You should think a bit more about a woman’s heart.”
Shizuku smiled wryly as she brought the remaining chips to her mouth.
“It’s important. A woman only shows that side of herself to someone special.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.… Read more

Shizuku exhaled, shaking her silver hair.
Her unusual ability often leads her to be called upon for inexplicable murder cases.
Because once she witnesses the vision, the culprit immediately becomes clear.
Sometimes seemingly impossible murders were simply the result of the perpetrator going to incredible lengths.
But this time…
“We couldn’t see the culprit, could we?”
“No, we couldn’t.”
Indeed, the vision did not reveal the culprit.
And ‘Visions’ cannot perceive other ‘Unlaws.’… Read more

“It’s about this brilliant detective who solves crimes with the help of his assistant who gets dragged along for the ride.”
“Hmm…pfft…”
Looking down, she gave a slight, crooked smile
unbefitting a girl her age.
“In that case, wouldn’t you be the assistant, Norman?”
“…Fair point.”
“Pfft…kukuku…”
The clearly amusing thought sent her petite shoulders shaking with repressed laughter.
“…You know, the thing that stuck with me about that novel was how the eccentric genius detective’s helper would grumble complaints, but still indulge and go along with him.”… Read more

“Hey, hello there.”
A young girl was trembling in the corner of a dark room.
Her parents, who were supposed to be there, had long since fled, leaving her all alone.
It wasn’t just her parents.
The neighbors, the residents next door too.
They had nearly died because of her.
That’s why the girl was trembling.
Wondering what had gone wrong.
If she had done something bad.… Read more
