You're under arrest!

Souta wondered where are the people who lived in this mansion. He hasn't seen anyone else in this place. In fact, Souta hasn't encountered a single person.

The wife and the children were all gone.

"So, the question is, where are they?" Souta muttered as he rubbed his chin. He turned his head and looked outside through the window.

"Did the guards know that the duke's family was gone?"

Souta looked down at his sword and asked, "What is it? Did you guess the reason behind this?"

'Um... I'm not sure, but...' Saya said.

"But, what?" Souta looked at the sword with a questioning gaze.

'You have to see it for yourself. There's one place that you haven't checked yet. And that is the basement where the maid saw the duke's wife eating her roommate,' Saya said to him.

"Okay, I'll go there. Also just spit out what you have in mind," Souta nodded and sighed as he walked towards the door.
