The Reincarnation Room
The Butei Killer

Seeing Aria's actions like that, Ryan became a little unnerved. "Beauty …"

Ryan honestly did not think Aria could avoid the lunge of this bullet. In fact, at first Ryan wanted to use the speed he had to carry Aria's run..

However, Ryan has not had time to move, Aria suddenly immediately backflip without seeing the direction of the bullet.

If the target is another Butei, then they will definitely die, unless Ryan saves them. This is because the shot made by the perpetrator is completely unexpected.

In fact, Aria was completely unaware of this shot. However, as a descendant of Sherlock Holmes, he could feel the distress approaching him.

This is one of the Special Abilities passed down in the Holmes family, Intuition.

"So so .. although Aria did not inherit the Reasoning Deduction ability that should be possessed by every descendant of the Holmes family, but she inherited the Intuition Ability from her great-grandfather.”.

As Ryan was muttering to himself while continuing to pay attention to Aria, Aria suddenly shouted to him. “Ryan!”

Aria then raised the muzzle of her gun towards a large tank. "Look over there!"

Hearing this, Ryan immediately followed the muzzle of Aria's gun and looked up at the large tank on the deck.

There, a black shadow turned around and disappeared from Ryan's sight.

"Ryan, you saw it, right?!" Aria continued to look towards the tank seriously.

Ryan slightly raised his lips and said, "Most likely, the figure in the shadow is the Butei Killer itself!"

“In other words, the serial killer who never showed his true identity, finally began to move directly.” Ryan said it without a doubt.

Afterwards, Ryan and Aria immediately ran towards the cabin while avoiding the machine gun fire mounted on the speedboat.

~***~

Under the reflection of the moonlight, a Tanker Ship was traveling at high speed splitting the ocean.

The ship was none other than the Ocean Cradle Tanker Ship, which had now been targeted by the Butei Killer bomb.

The ship sailed aimlessly and was getting further and further away from Academy Island.

Around the Ocean Cradle Tanker Ship, several speedboats carrying machine guns continued to follow and surround the ship.

This is very similar to the bus incident a few days ago. Only, this time the target of the bomb is no longer on a bus, but a tanker.

Near a tank located on the deck of a tanker, a young girl was sitting on a parapet facing the sea. He seemed to be wiggling his little legs while humming.

The sound of the waves became the accompaniment of the song he sang.

The young girl was like expressing her joy through the singing she offered to the ocean.

This very melodious-sounding chant echoed on the deck and made the atmosphere around him carefree.

Not long after, the rear door of the cabin located near a tank opened wide and made a loud noise.

From the door, Ryan and Aria rushed out and stopped behind a girl sitting on the guardrail against the cabin door.

The girl seemed to not care about the arrival of the two of them and continued to shake her little legs while singing, singing,

Looking at the girl, Ryan and Aria showed different reactions.

"You ... you ..." Aria was very surprised by what she saw.

“This is impossible! How can you be Butei Killer?!” ryan shouted while clenching his hands. Ryan was the one who was most surprised once he saw the real figure of the Butei Killer.

Hearing Ryan's cry filled with disbelief, the girl finally stopped her singing. He then said as if he were talking to himself.

"There's a refreshing ocean scent."

"There's sweet champagne."

"There's a man I love."

"And there are also enemies that I want to defeat."

After saying all that, the young girl stood right above the guardrail. He turned to face Ryan and Aria.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Olmes."

As if wanting to cheer, a cold sea breeze struck down and made the girl's golden hair flutter.

This caused Butei's female uniform whose edges had been modified into pleated lace like the princess's dress to wiggle.

Under the moonlight, the cute beautiful face of the girl was becoming clearer. Ryan was very familiar with the girl.

Looking at the girl, Aria muttered. "Mine Riko …"

After saying goodbye to Ryan four days ago, Riko never showed up again at school.

Looking at the various expressions Ryan and Aria presented, Riko smiled with a grin. Riko's eyes looked filled with emotion and also vengeance.

But, a moment later, the evil smile turned into an ordinary smile, as if the grinning smile had never existed.

"Jang jang, Mine Riko is here .." said Riko in a cheerful tone.

"However, this time, I allow you specifically to know my full name. Especially you, Olmes."

Olmes is the French way of referring to Holmes. And Riko who uses this French pronunciation, signifies that she is from France.

"Full name?" Aria was a little confused by Riko's words.

"Yes, that's right, my full name."

Riko then raised the fringe of her skirt as if she was saluting. "Mine Riko Lupin IV, this is my full name."

"Lupin?" Aria's eyes were wide.

Ryan and Aria certainly know about Lupin's name. More precisely, Arsene Lupin, the master thief who had actively stolen more than 100 years ago.

As an accomplished thief, he is better known for his intelligence, thoughtful thinking, romance, and his family's immense wealth.

Arsene Lupin often steals the property of those who amass wealth by illegal means. He then used some of the stolen property to save the poor.

Due to his high success rate in stealing, he earned the nickname Phantom Thief.

This led to Arsene Lupin becoming one of the famous figures of France.

It was no wonder that Aria reacted to this name.

Moreover, more than a hundred years ago, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes from Great Britain had faced head-to-head with the French Phantom Thief, Arsene Lupin and ended in a draw.

This is one of the famous events mentioned in Butei High School textbooks.

And today, Riko claims to have himself the name Lupin, and calls himself the fourth generation Lupin.

"you ..." Aria came to Riko and said loudly, "Are you the great-grandson of Arsene Lupin?!"

"Haha!" Riko suddenly laughed out loud.

That's no ordinary laugh. Although this laugh looked unusually sweet, it was not a laugh that a high school student should have, but rather a laugh that a mercenary would normally make.

"That's right, great-grandson Sherlock Olmes! I'm the great-grandson of Arsene Lupin!"

"More than 100 years ago, our great-grandfather faced each other and ended up in balance!"

"And a hundred years later, their descendants finally met!"

"So, fourth Olmes, you must die here!"

"This will be the day that, I, Mine Riko Lupin IV, will defeat you!"
