A spotless cloudless, midnight nightfall in the sky.

Everyone is already asleep and awake at this hour, whether it's a night shift official, a salaried man who drinks late and goes home with a thousand feet, or a bad guy playing around at night.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

"hehe........"

About an anomaly roaming the night.

"Wonderful...... is this, freedom......"

Its shadow, smiling invincibly in the alley at night, shivers its body to bite off the joy, staring pleasantly at what is in front of it.

"Gu.... haha....."

"Ahhh......."

In front of me, there were two men moaning like they were going to suffer.

The hands have their own necks, and the men have their own necks tightened.

But even though it's painful enough to give you a groan, there's no way for that hand to loosen.

It's like someone you can't see is forcing you to do it.

The shadow just stares at it with excitement, as if watching a show.

Very, I don't see how I can help.

Eventually, the men also disappeared moaning about whether it was the limit or not, falling and lying on the ground batang.

The fallen men don't even move with Pickle. He's dead.

The shadow looking down at the men who stopped moving gradually looked up at the sky with pleasure and a full grin with satisfaction.

"I didn't know. I can't believe I'm so liberated that I'm not tied to anything!

My voice rises from the exaltation and echoes just a little in the quiet midnight city.

"I've never been in a place like that again. Well, what shall we do next...."

Together in his head, the shadow leaves the scene with an evil grin and ideas about the future.

The moon shining at midnight was lighting up the city so eerily that it heralded what was to come.

―――――――――――――――――

Especially irreplaceable morning time.

A few weeks after school started, my habits had changed from holiday to normal.

"Hey, Night Rabbit."

"Oh, dear."

I was a little drowsy and I greeted my mother back as she looked asleep and sat in the chair.

Sitting in a chair, Xia Lian had already had breakfast in front of her.

"Oh, dear."

"As usual, slow"

"This is normal"

Summer Lotus told me that over breakfast, but as far as I'm concerned, I just feel like Summer Lotus is fast.

I think this has improved enough.

That's how when I was having breakfast too, I got some news on TV that bothered me.

"Recently, the bodies of two dead men were found in an alley on OO Street. According to police research, the body shows signs of strangulation on its own, and I see that it may have been some other killing that made it look like a suicide- '

What a heavy story in the morning, but that's certainly a weird one.

Normally strangling yourself is unconscious and loose in nature and power along the way.

Unless you rope and hang yourself, it's nearly impossible to commit suicide.

"Oh, another noisy story. Besides, it's not close enough from here."

"Out of the way, the killer was close by."

My mother, who came out of the kitchen, says with a disgusting face, and Xia Lian tells a joke.

(Dead body or.......)

While watching the news, I was slightly concerned, but soon I didn't care and set my sights back on breakfast.

Eventually, after breakfast, when I was about to make my way to school, my phone ringtone suddenly rang.

Master, I'm calling you.

Mel told me that when I saw the screen on my phone, it was labeled "Tetsuji Ishida" there.

You're an old man. You don't seem busy calling in the morning.

I had a slight bad feeling, and I answered the phone reluctantly, hesitating to answer.

"Oops, Night Rabbit. Long time no see, my uncle's here to make a morning call - - '

"If you don't need me, I'll hang up."

One day to a similar development. I take my phone off my ear, and when I get in the position of hanging up the phone, the old man says, 'Oh yeah!! Wait, wait!!' And the voice lifts up.

Can't you make a proper phone call at all?

I sigh at the tense old man in the morning and I have no choice but to put my phone back in my ear.

"What are you doing all of a sudden? This is my school now."

You'll be all right in a minute. I need your help again. "

That again.

Well, most of the time I hear from the old man, that's the request, so it's natural.

"Let me ask you something, what kind of cooperation?

"Don't be surprised to hear it, we're looking for a killer this time"

That's what my old man tells me, and I have a slightly unexpected look.

Surprised. This is your first time looking for a killer.

Usually, the requests from the old man were mostly missing or important references in the case, and I never looked for a murderer.

Is that what a direct killer is this time? Is it so stuck in the feathers?

"That's unusual. I can't believe the old man asked me to do that."

"Normally, I'm going to refrain from doing that around here, but I don't think there's anything I can do about it."

The old man says a little sorry.

"Nightingale, have you seen the news?

"I was just watching"

"What I'm talking about is the one that happened on O.O. Street."

○ ○ Street. That's the case where the suspicious body I was looking at in the living room was found earlier.

"I've been investigating a lot of things, but there are too many things that really don't fall on me. No trauma, except for marks strangled with the hands of the neck, and not a single spot like stabbed with a blade.

Besides, the marks on its neck were undoubtedly strangled by the victim with his own hands and were, strangely enough, firmly gripped to the end without any signs of loosening.

In the first place, there's not even a certain motive for suicide.

Don't you think this is weird? It's like someone manipulated him. '

"Well, you sure do....."

Talked to me for a long time and I agree with the old man even though I think about it.

You can't strangle yourself and suffer, you can't loosen your hands.

I guess the old man wants to say something's wrong there.

"Hey, Night Rabbit. Maybe what... who else has that ability besides you?

That would be the answer only an old man who knows about skills can get to.

That's what the old man asked me, but I didn't know anything about it.

If you have skills besides me, that's about as good as the Heavenly House.

As far as I can remember, I've never seen a guy with special skills on this planet.

"No, I don't particularly remember you."

'Well, I wish I knew something....'

You were expecting a little, and my old man seems sorry for my reply.

I don't know about a guy with skills, but first of all, how do you get skills?

I've been through a lot of thinking, and it seemed like time was running out.

"Night Rabbit! Time to go or you'll be late!!

I heard my mother calling me from downstairs.

I can hear my mother, and when I look at the clock, it's been a long time since I've had breakfast.

Is this the time already?

"It's time for me to call you when I'm done."

'Uh, are you going to help me?

You didn't think it would be easy to admit this, the old man says surprisingly.

"Assuming there's someone with skills, there's nothing you can do about it on your own, old man"

"Nightingale, you're a guy..."

"Instead, I'll be extravagant again."

Did the old man impress you that I was cooperative, and he was happy to say, 'All right! I'll give you anything you want!' and respond generously.

Do you feel unnecessarily happy because I would be reluctant? You're doing well in the morning.

(Even so, have modern skills.....)

Hang up the phone and I'll think deep with the bar standing for a while.

Unlike [cooking] and [jujitsu], the skills I have are special.

Skills that go beyond what humans can do are not normally lived and obtained.

If you got skills from God like me and the Heavenly House, can you do that on your own anyway?

I thought about it for a little while but didn't get an answer.

(In the first place, you don't even know if it exists...)

I was thinking about it on the assumption that I was there earlier, but sometimes it's an old man's mistake.

It's too soon to decide that.

Unfortunately, the story comes after school.

While I was worried inside, I went to school with my bag.

――――――――――――――――――――

"There is. How to Get Skills on Earth"

School lunch break.

As usual, I was having lunch with Leena and I asked Leena somehow and she gave me an unexpected answer.

"Huh? Do you have one?

"No, I'm not exactly getting it, I'm getting it."

I wonder what the hell that means, and I urge Leena to continue.

"What's this all about?

"Humans, it's something that everyone has all sorts of talents. That almost ends a lifetime without blooming, but very rarely, there are those whose blossoms it blossoms by a certain strong shock.

Metron deliberately brought it to you, but it happens naturally. "

"Is that why you have skills"

There really was a guy with skills.

"For example, in the case here, there's a record of people who were shot by lightning and survived, or a strong shock of losing their parents in front of them, and they woke up to their skills.

They're called "psychics" here. "

Psychic. I hear it on TV and stuff a lot, but I thought they were all fake.

Was that true?

I heard this in silence all the way up until earlier. I didn't even think "heh."

"Still, it's one in hundreds of millions odds," Leena added, "but we could confirm that skill development exists.

Now you're a little more likely to have the hypothesis the old man was saying.

"Well, I wonder if that's possible too"

"I don't think so."

Are you interested, or are you having fun talking to Leena about your skills?

So does Summer Lotus, but does she want skills or not?

You're getting a lot of trouble inside.

Leaving room for the two of you that look like fun, I shrug inside as I look up into the sky.

Now if the guy in that case is real, it's really not going to get out of the hands of the old guys.

(You got sweet, me too.....)

Usually, you don't want to do it before you help.

I take a peaceful lunch break, aware of my own changes.
