Chapter 16
The Four Palaces Begin to Worry

After leaving home, Amamiya Ren began to wander around the city, constantly setting down his "eyes" to confirm the capabilities of the bracelet.

"As expected, the eyes I've inserted have no distance limitations."

He took a bus from the terminal to the final stop, covering a straight-line distance of dozens of kilometers. Still, the "eyes" could be used.

Unlike the eyes that can move, the inserted ones are like coordinates. As long as they are not withdrawn, they will continue to function.

Moreover, they can be remotely recalled regardless of the distance whenever you want to retrieve them.

The "eyes" seemed to teleport back to the bracelet.

"As expected of the power of the Origin Castle, it possesses the spatial abilities of the Gate Path."

Looking at it this way, the little bracelet actually possesses some extraordinary qualities, but it can only be activated by a specific person.

In the middle of testing the bracelet's abilities, Amamiya Ren leisurely enjoyed lunch at a family restaurant.

"What should I write in my diary today?"

The content of the diary is still the focus, and daily output is related to the lottery.

However, today's content might not be that special.

He could try writing about an ordinary day, to see if the lottery items would be much different.

Suddenly, the "eyes" fluctuated.

Amamiya Ren turned his gaze towards them.

The "eyes" saw a man wearing a hat grabbing a little girl by the neck and walking into the school.

It was the weekend, so the school was empty.

Moreover, it was an elementary school, so even the security guard wasn't on duty outside. It was so easy for someone to break in.

"Kidnapping?"

This situation was obvious.

Amamiya Ren didn't say anything more. He put down his chopsticks, went to the public phone booth outside, and called the police.

It's best to avoid using your own phone for reporting incidents, as it can be easily traced.

【This is 110, how can I help you?】

"I saw a man with a baseball cap grabbing a little girl and walking into an empty school."

【…Please wait, are you sure?】

"The location is Nijibashi Elementary School, I think it's kidnapping. Because it's the weekend and the school is empty, the guard isn't on duty. In this situation, I think there's no other possibility besides kidnapping."

【Okay, thank you very much for your call, we will send someone immediately.】

"Be careful, he might have a knife."

【Okay, we'll inform them.】

Then Amamiya Ren hung up the phone, went back to the family restaurant, returned to his seat, and continued to enjoy his lunch.

The Metropolitan Police Department immediately contacted Inspector Megure Mōri, who was on patrol.

"Someone witnessed someone grabbing a child and going to Nijibashi Elementary School?"

Megure Mōri looked out of the car window. They were very close to Nijibashi Elementary School.

"Satō, turn off the siren, we're going to Nijibashi Elementary School. Inform the patrol team near Nijibashi Elementary School to come for support."

"Understood."

Satō Miwako, the female police officer driving in front, immediately turned off the siren and used the walkie-talkie to report the information to the surrounding patrol cars.

Amamiya Ren, who continued to eat lunch at the family restaurant, was still quite confident in the police's abilities.

In the anime "Detective Conan", the police are just a group of supporting characters who cooperate with the detective. However, in reality, the police who have graduated from a regular police academy are not bad in terms of quality.

With such a high crime rate in Mita City, if the police didn't have some personal qualities, they would have been transferred to the second line long ago.

"They arrived so quickly."

As expected, Amamiya Ren's "eyes" quickly noticed that seven or eight police officers were already entering the school.

"The elementary school isn't that big. There are only a few places where someone could hide, it shouldn't be too difficult to find them."

The "eyes" saw the police quickly locking down the school's warehouse.

Everyone moved carefully and quietly, five in front, two going to the back.

The five at the front directly kicked open the warehouse door and rushed in.

Within three minutes, two police officers escorted the handcuffed man out, and a female police officer followed behind, taking care of the crying little girl.

"Well, when they're not slacking off, the police's efficiency is quite high."

After confirming the situation, he withdrew the "eyes" there.

He also already had an idea for his diary entry.

"I'll write about today's good deed of helping the police catch a kidnapper."

Very ordinary and common content, but he's not sure what he'll draw today.

Regardless, it's just a test.

"I'll go home after lunch. Today's test is over."

He decided to continue enjoying his lunch.

As for the Shijō household's lunch today, it would be delayed because the Shijō residence welcomed several important guests.

The daughter of the Sanzen'in family.

The daughter of the Sajo family.

These two were heavyweights.

And the fact that these two daughters appeared in Shijō Kaguya's mansion at the same time was a big problem.

It's a question of circles.

So, when the actions of these two daughters were openly displayed, everyone in the Shijō family knew about it.

Even Shijō Kōki, who should have been the heir to the Shijō family, increased his attention to his youngest sister.

Because he was very clear that if Kaguya suddenly had a few close daughters supporting her, her position in the Shijō family would completely change.

But Shijō Kōki only had one question.

"How did Kaguya get in touch with the Sanzen'in family?"

Well, this was a question no one could answer.

At this moment, the three daughters of the Shijō house were sitting at the same table, with only two maids accompanying them.

“……”

Shijō Kaguya looked at the photo on the table. She had lost the chance to refute.

She knew why there was this photo, and she also knew the intentions of the two people in front of her.

"So, Ms. Sanzen'in and Ms. Sajo have the same experience as me?"

"No, only you and I have the same experience, I just came with Tohō because she's my friend."

"Friends?"

Although she had known that Sanzen'in and Sajo were very close, she didn't expect they were close enough to know each other's secrets.

"So, Ms. Sanzen'in, you're here to have a showdown with me?"
