Adler, take a look at this.
What is it?
Quite a few interesting things have been published in the weekly newspaper.
As I walked away from the hospital and went down the street, I heard the cheerful voice of Professor Moriarty.
Is that so
Dont be like that, just take a look.
I was quite a bit distressed by the incident that had just occurred, however, I had no choice but to stop walking when she thrust the newspaper right in front of my face.
There are a lot of strange events happening in London these days.
Then, the professor muttered under her breath while avoiding my gaze.
Are they as strange as what weve experienced over the past few months?
Theyre in a league of their own, but in my opinion, these incidents co infinitely close to their level.
I looked at her with a slightly annoyed expression, and she, noticing my mood, nudged the newspaper still close to my face and mumbled.
For example, in the eastern part of the city, rainbow-colored rain fell all day yesterday.
Rainbow-colored rain?
Thats not all. All across the ceteries in England, there have been simultaneous howling sounds, and there have been sightings of humans resembling wolves
Ah
Hearing those words, my head began to throb frantically.
Its beginning, isnt it?
Till the end of the first sesters sumr break in this world is practically just a tutorial period if you compare it to any traditional ga.
Since, starting from the second sester, precursors of bizarre phenona would start appearing at random, and from the second year onward, strange cases would burst forth almost on a daily basis.
And the more you fail to solve them, the more the world goes to hell.
The problem currently was that although it was just the end of the sumr break, events that would normally happen at the end of the second sester had already started occurring in real-ti.
For example, the incidents that Professor Moriarty just ntioned were a few of the original episodes in the ga, known as Rainbow Rain, Howling Cetary, and Reconstructed Wolf.
Of course, these incidents were devised by the story departnt, who colluded with the design team to shalessly insert my modeling of Isaac Adler into the official narrative as a worthless character, so their quality and the gimmicks that are utilized are at an utterly crude level.
To be frank, even the incompetent London tropolitan Police Force could solve these without Charlotte needing to step in.
However, that was not the issue at hand.
Rather than getting involved in cases that didnt require my supervision, I should be focusing on the grave fact that the appearance of cases that should only be occurring later down the storyline was now being rushed for so reason.
It must be because of the erosion
There was no such thing as an Erosion Rate in the ga system I had designed.
Certainly, the probabilities of being kidnapped, confined, or subjected to sothing censored by question marks were also not present in the ga system I had implented,
However, all of those were just possibilities that could be introduced at any ti, given the nature of the system that presents the current probabilities drawn from ones karma.
But from what Ive observed so far, this Erosion Rate seems to be a bit different from everything else in the ga system.
Every ti beings that shouldnt exist in this world appear before , the erosion rate increases
The first alien entity, a deviant to this worlds storyline, to reveal herself was Jill the Ripper, and of course, there was no setting established for her.
Then ca the Phantom Thief Lupin, whom the clueless story team tried to insert into the canonical story, prompting to foam from the mouth in anger and relegate her to a DLC story instead.
Honestly, I hated the idea of Lupin popping up in a ga based on the Sherlock Hols series so much that I wanted to remove her entirely, but it was already too late as the illustrations and modeling had been completed.
Hmm
Upon further reflection, the Erosion Rate that often pops up as a red warning before my eyes seems to be caused by characters who are not part of the Sherlock Hols series.
The rate increased exponentially with the appearance of fictional characters from other stories like Lupin or real-life figures like Jack the Ripper.
And it also slightly rose when the plausibility of the cases began to collapse.
What could be the reason for these non-existent characters suddenly appearing in the ga?
And if the Erosion Rate kept rising steadily, what on earth would happen to this world?
Whatever it is, judging by the hastening of these bizarre incidents, its plausible to deduce that its not going to end well for anyone.
Even though I ended up with this cursed body, these damned eyes that couldnt settle on anything, and was ignorant of many things in a world that I myself designed, I couldnt just sit back and do nothing.
As long as it was a world I created with my own hands, it was my responsibility to protect it.
To accomplish that, I needed to build the kingdom of cri at a pace that had to be several tis faster than what it was currently progressing at.
Only then would I be able to wage an all-out war against those unwelco invaders.
..
And, to do that, the most crucial person was
Isaac Adler.
As I was lost in deep thought, the very person, Professor Jane Moriarty, kept poking my cheek with her finger.
Why are you doing this?
Your pinkie ca loose.
Ah.
Please set it right again.
As I asked with a deliberately cold gaze and an equally frigid tone, she held up her pinkie and muttered with a bright smile on her face.
There.
Thank you.
It was a truly strange thing.
Ever since the incident from before, I found myself avoiding the professors gaze every ti I saw her.
Dont slyly hook two fingers.
Was it that obvious?
I found myself becoming irritable at her without even realizing it properly.
I shouldnt be like this.
I should just smile slyly, as I usually do, and wink at her a few tis.
All I had to do was occasionally whisper the words she wanted to hear from my mouth, an exceedingly simple task in usual tis.
..
However, just as I could no longer regard Charlotte as rely an object of admiration after the ivory box incident
Had I, in the end, fallen in love with the professor as well?
Im such a scumbag.
A sense of guilt began to creep into the depths of my conscience, but it was already fast too late for to do anything about this situation.
If I were to now say that I loved both of them
Either London would utterly vanish from the map of Britain, or I would be physically split in half and distributed to both parties; its one or the other, nothing else.
In other words, I must choose one of them, in the end.
.
Fortunately, having won the last wager, it seems that I could, at the very least, postpone the decision for so ti.
But I wouldnt be able to do that forever.
Eventually, the judgnt day would co, the day when I must choose one of them.
Perhaps at the Reichenbach Falls, thats the place where it would all end.
I couldnt foresee when such a mont might occur, however, I could guess the location.
Surely it wouldnt be a bad ending where I fall over the waterfall, caught between the two, right?
Perhaps, I really should devour London myself and take them both for myself.
As I pondered on and on, arriving at such a fanciful possibility, at that very mont
Clutch
Out of the blue, Professor Moriarty grabbed hold of my hand.
What is it
Ive been thinking about it for a while now.
An odious feeling crossed my mind, and I tried to shake off her hand. However, Professor Moriarty didnt let go of my hand no matter what.
But no matter how much I think about it, I truly believe that I love you.
What?
My eyes not changing color must either be due to my constitution or perhaps because my mana is far too strong for it to be tainted by you.
Her grey eyes began gazing at with a smothering intensity.
Despite everything, dont you too think its a bit too harsh to deny that I love you just because this pair of eyes of mine dont turn golden, dyed in your color?
Then, just love a bit more, I guess.
If you were to die, I wish to die with you; thats how much I love you, Adler.
At the words that blitzed out of her mouth, I beca montarily speechless, ultimately closing my mouth shut. And then, seeing keeping my silence, Professor Moriarty began to whisper in my ear.
Even though I want to hold you accountable for turning a nave person like , who knew only mathematics and murder, into this lovestruck fool, I simply cant prove my feelings.
And, after giving it a lot of thought, Ive co up with a very simple and clear solution.
Puzzled by her statent, filled with the brim with aningful suggestions, I soon decided to just listen to the rest of her words in silence.
Once this case is over, lets spend the night together, okay?
What?
Registering the following words that left Professor Moriartys mouth, I had to stop in my tracks, unable to continue my thoughts due to the shock.
.
.
.
.
.
What did you say?
After standing dazed on the quiet street for so ti, Adler managed a forced smile on his face and posed the question. And to such a question, Professor Moriarty responded with a calm expression on her face.
Im suggesting that we have intercourse, Adler.
.
If I receive your affection directly, perhaps my eyes will eventually turn golden, wont they?
Muttering to herself with clear excitent in her eyes, she started bobbing her head from side to side as she looked at Adler, who had simply frozen in place.
Why did I not think of this from the very beginning, it truly puzzles .
I dont understand why I overlooked the most certain, clear, and rational thod that leads directly to victory.
It seed that it wasnt just Charlotte who had realized the oversight.
What do you think, Adler?
Well
Since you have tainted my innocence with your ideology, isnt it ti to stain my body with your color as well?
Lets just calm down for a bi
However, as his previously stalled brain quickly started to race upon hearing her next words, he desperately tried to turn down the conclusion she had reached but
But if I were to beco pregnant, would you take responsibility?
