Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Okay, Mom

Kamohashi Ron did not refute Elliot's words at all. To him, this was completely natural.

Then he was silent for a long time and said, "Yes, it has changed me."

Elliot: "...Is that so?"

Kamohashi Ron looked like he had something else to ask, and even pondered it for a long time. In the end, he chose not to ask. Elliot, who was ready to answer any question from his beloved son, also fell into deep thought: "Ron, don't you have anything to ask?"

"No." Kamohashi Ron said confidently, as if it was a matter of course, and then he reached out directly, "So where's the stuff?"

"What?" Elliot teased him.

"What else could it be? You came here in person, so there must be some important information or a letter from Mom... Elmer will bring Mom's letter, so there must be important information, information about the M family?" Kamohashi Ron stretched out his hand.

"You're worthy of being my son, aren't you? But it's not just the M family's information, it's also Liar's," Elliot said. "I haven't investigated Milo's intentions yet, so I can't help you with that. You'll have to rely on yourself on this one."

"That's fine. I have access to information about Milo's true intentions," Kamohashi said. "It's pretty much a handful of scenarios anyway, and Liar's information isn't really necessary. They're basically just an organization full of undercover traitors. I've already had someone investigate the case involving them."

Elliot: "You've really grown a lot, Lun."

Kamohashi Ron remained silent, nor did he mention who he had asked to investigate. "So, you know where that pistol is, right?"

Elliot took the pistol from his pocket and said, "I took it directly from the former Director Jumonji."

"...There won't be your fingerprints on it, right?" Kamohashi Ron asked uncertainly. Although he felt that his biological father would not make such a childish mistake, what if?

"What are you thinking about, Lun, I won't make such a mistake easily." Elliot was a little speechless. He was also praised as a genius in the M family. He wouldn't let his beloved son doubt him like this, right?

"I'm afraid that you'll completely forget all this mess when you see me." Kamohashi Ron explained.

"That's certainly possible."

After all, Kamohashi Ron is his biological son, not an outsider.

After putting the pistol into the evidence bag and handing it to Professor Gurezili, Kamohashi Ron said he was going back to sleep and left. He even yawned very appropriately.

Looks really sleepy.

Gurezili told Kamohashi Rin to go to bed early. He and Isshiki Totomaru shared a room. Originally, Jumonji—well, actually, Elliot—had prepared two rooms, but Kamohashi Rin had said, "We're roommates, so there's no need for two, right?" Isshiki Totomaru even nodded, so Elliot gave them both a room.

Isshiki Todumaru was sleeping soundly. He didn't hear Kamohashi Ron coming in. He was probably sleeping very soundly. Kamohashi Ron didn't fall asleep immediately either, but just kept staring at Isshiki Todumaru's face.

Dudu, it’s really cute.

After staring for a long time, Kamohashi Ron finally picked up his phone and sent messages to certain people to ask about the situation.

Person A: "You're sending me messages in the middle of the night, Kamobashi, you're toxic!"

Kamo no Hashiro: "You're not sleeping anyway, so it doesn't matter, right?"

Person A: "I don't care. What on earth is worthy of you sending me a message in the middle of the night?!"

Kamonohashi: "Of course it's worth it. I didn't send a message to you alone, I sent it to a group of people. But you seem to be the only idiot who would respond in the middle of the night."

Person A: “…”

Although Kamohashi Ron said it was a mass message, in fact, Isshiki Totumaru's phone did not receive anything.

After all, there's no point in sending messages if we see each other all the time, and they're all sleeping, so I don't want to disturb them. The Metropolitan Police Department has a lot of paperwork, and the excellent police officers are also very busy.

After a while, the person Kamohashi had identified as "someone A" finally messaged him again: "I totally understand. This is the retribution for staying up late playing with your phone. So, what's going on with you? I'd like to state in advance that I don't have any information about your illness."

Kamobashi Ron: "You're a terrible undercover agent, I'll get someone else to help me get it later, and that's not what I'm asking."

Person A: "Then what are you asking?"

Kamonohashi: "Mello said he wants to challenge me to a duel later. Do you know where it's going to be? What's he planning to do?"

Person A: “…”

Person A: "You've definitely asked the right person."

Kamohashi Ron learned of Milo's entire plan from the undercover agent in the M family. After harassing a certain undercover agent, he started harassing another person who replied to his message?

What, he just said that only someone A paid attention to him? Alas, his memory is not very good and he completely forgot about this.

As for the other person, it’s mainly because he doesn’t dare not reply.

Communication Expert: “…”

Communication Expert: "Boss, I'm still eating pork chop rice in the Metropolitan Police Department. And you sent it back here. And what kind of a request is this? I go to M's house to steal information? Are you serious?! If I had that ability, would I still be thrown into the Metropolitan Police Department by you every day?"

Kamo no Hashiro: "There's an insider in the M family. Just tell me whether you'll do it or not. If not, I'll find someone else."

Communication expert: "What are the benefits? I won't do anything that has no benefits."

Kamo no Hashiro: "I'll give you the information I had about you before you lost your memory."

Communication expert: “!!!”

Communication Expert: "Wait a minute, how do you have this thing?! I don't even know who I was before I lost my memory."

Kamohashi Ron: "That's none of your business. You know, online streamers know a lot of people, so there might be someone who knows information about you before you lost your memory... I'm just kidding. Of course, I found this out through careful research. You should be thankful that Blue's chief is personally investigating for you."

Communication Expert: "In that case, I can try to break into M's house and get the information for you... But if I get caught, can you rescue me?"

Kamonohashi said: "Then there's a high probability that they can't be rescued. It's up to you to decide. I don't force you to get the information. If you think it's wrong, just withdraw. If you can still be caught with your IQ, you might as well be eating pork chop rice at the Metropolitan Police Department."

Communication Expert: “…”

Communication expert: "I'm going to report you for IQ discrimination!"

Kamonohashi's comment: "Generally speaking, what I say isn't discrimination, it's stating objective facts. And I see you're enjoying your Metropolitan Police Department pork chop rice."

Communication Expert: “I don’t!”

When Isshiki Totomaru woke up, he found that Kamobashi Ron couldn't stop yawning, so he asked with a little concern: "Ron, didn't you sleep well last night?"

It can be said that Kamohashi Ron, who had hardly slept, yawned and nodded, and then was strongly urged by Isshiki Totomaru to go back and have a good sleep. This was the last day at this observatory, so Kamohashi Ron couldn't help but say:

"Okay, Mom."

"Who's your mother?" Isshiki Totomaru complained to him, and then he still insisted that Kamohashi Rin go back to sleep, "Oh, by the way, there's also the matter of the live broadcast... Let's tell them that it will be broadcast later."

"You're starting to worry like a manager, Toto," said Kamohashi Ron.

"How come she's your manager now?" Isshiki Totsumaru was a little confused, but he continued what Kamonohashi had said, "You should have a good rest."

Isshiki Totomaru thought that Kamo no Hashirō was too tired from playing yesterday.

After sending Kamohashi Ron back to his room to sleep, Isshiki Todumaru began to ask Guruizi about Kamohashi Ron's past. In his words, "Because I don't know anything about Ron's past, I want to know what kind of person Ron is."

Gurezili: "Kamonohashi... I don't deny his ability as a detective, but I personally think it's too dangerous for him to hold a detective license. I can't accept a detective who kills a murderer."

"Teacher Gurezili, you're mistaken, aren't you? He's the detective who caused the murderer to commit suicide, not the detective who killed the murderer." Isshiki Totsumaru said, "At least on this point, I believe he would never harm an innocent person."

"You trust him too much, Officer Isshiki," Gurezili said. "That doesn't make sense."

"Logic is Ryou's responsibility! I just need to trust him." Isshiki Totsumaru retorted before realizing that his words seemed a bit harsh, "...I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. You're roommates who spend every day together, right? It's natural to trust your roommates more than strangers... But are you really just ordinary roommates?"

"We are friends."

"What a surprise," Gurezili said. "During his Blue days, Kamonohashi was the type who basically ignored everyone."

"Huh?"

"As soon as I woke up, I heard Mr. Gurezili talking about my past." Kamohashi Ron must have really rested well, and even stretched. "If you're curious, you can ask me."

"It seems like you've really changed a lot, Kamo no Hashi." Gu Ruizili said, "A very important person has appeared in your life."

"Well... sort of," Kamohashi Ron said, "It's not like I haven't made any progress in the past five years. Besides, Blue has been infiltrated by a criminal organization, and you guys don't react at all?"

"Hirsch is already investigating that matter," Gurezili replied, "but they haven't found out who it is yet."

"Teacher Hirsch is investigating? Is he a qualified professional?" Kamohashi Ron was a little surprised. "Oh, but if he performed the autopsy to confirm the cause of death in the Blood Internship Case, then just ignore what I said."

Gurezili: "It's just what you think, Kamo no Hashira theory."

Isshiki Totomaru: "Teacher Hirsch is...?"
