Chapter 1: Act 4: Scene 5


 * Elluka: "No, no. Wait a minute. Don't just arbitrarily guess someone's a murderer."


 * Elluka once again opened her mouth in the middle of my story.


 * Narrator: (...... Am I wrong?)


 * Elluka: "As you can see, I am of the school of brains. I'm not very good at weilding a sword or knife...... Well, it wouldn't be impossible if I thought about doing it."


 * Narrator: (You're saying you've never killed someone?)


 * Elluka: "...... I'll leave that to your imagination. But, hypothetically, if I did try killing someone, I would probably employ some other means that didn't involve using a bladed instrument. Using my spells you're aready acquainted with or a poison...... see?"


 * Narrator: (Then how about the original owner of that bodythe woman named "Lukana"?)


 * Elluka: "She should've beem merely a tailor. I wonder if she had never carried a weapon in her entire life? --Well, Kayo does draw blod from her descendants, the Octos, a samurai family. Perhaps that blood suddenly awakened?"


 * That seemed a little unreasonable even as a hypothesis. It's not like you have strong command of martial arts just by possessing the blood of samurai.
 * That's something I know all too well.
 * Though Elluka repeatedly tapped her notebook with the tip of her brush, she then said.
 * Elluka: "First and foremost, it'd be the simple notion that "Kayo had been possessed by a demon". Humans possessed by Demons of Sin sometimes exhibit superhuman physical abilities. When I heard of the series of incidents Kayo had caused, that's what I immediately thought. Since I had still thought one of the Demons of Sin, the Demon of Envy, was in the scissors at the time."
 * Narrator: (...... But that's not the case)
 * Elluka: "That's why you being the one in the scissors completely overturned my hypothesis."
 * Narrator: (......)
 * Elluka: "But you see, by listening to your story, I've thought up a new theory."
 * Elluka was grinning.
 * Elluka: "I'll need to hear a little more of your story to finish it...... tentatively, the reason Kayo killed Mei, as far as I heard from your story, was that she was convinced Kai was her  husband, thought he was cheating on her with Mei, and killed her in a passionate fit of envy--that's my impression."
 * Narration: (...... That probably isn't enough, is it?)
 * Elluka: "There's some huge implications in the way you speak. (I think?) Well...... it's fine. Let's continue."
 * Elluka opened her notebook.
 * The narrator is unable to read the "foreing characters" written in it.
 * While she claimed she was just writing her story down, the narrator couldn't be sure that even that was the truth.
