Chapter 32: Prelude to Confrontation
– Screeeech...
“Ah, Holmes!”
As the tightly closed door to the basement was forced open, Watson, who had been restless outside, hurriedly moved in.
“The police have already been called. They’ll be arriving here shortly.”
“.........”
“By the way, are you really okay? That black aura around you...”
She had no choice but to stutter upon seeing Charlotte and Isaac Adler emerging from the very insides of the basement.
“What......”The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
Charlotte and Adler, covered in dust, avoided each other’s gaze and wiped their mouths off using their sleeves.
“...Holmes?”
Noticing the faint blush on their cheeks, Watson’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“...Ms. Holmes, this is a crime.”
In the midst of this, Adler, as he softly spoke those words, bowed his head and exited the room soon after.
“Don’t do it again next time.”
“”............””
And then, there was utter silence.
“So... you... umm, uh...”
Should she first ask why Adler was wiping his mouth as if he had rolled on the ground for a while?
Or should she first ask why a faint black smoke was still emanating from her partner’s body?
“Watson.”
“...Huh?”
Caught in such a dilemma and wearing a bewildered expression on her face, Watson snapped back to reality at Charlotte’s voice originating from in front of her.
“I have a question.”
“You, you do? For me?”
“...In terms of general knowledge, you’re more knowledgeable than I am after all.”
Surprisingly, Charlotte was seeking an answer from her.
“In all my life, I never thought that something like this would happen.”
Momentarily surprised by this fact, Watson soon approached Charlotte with a gentle smile on her face.
“So, what does our genius girl want to know?”
To that, Charlotte posed a question to Watson with a low and serious voice.
“How do you establish a Fait Accompli?”
“...What?”
Watson doubted her ears for a moment, but Charlotte inquired with her usual steady voice without a hint of fluster.
“How do you establish a Fait Accompli?”
“A, a Fait Accompli?”
Caught off guard by those words, Watson was about to ask back when Charlotte quietly touched her lips and muttered with a sigh.
“I couldn’t make further progress because I don’t have the relevant knowledge.”
“.........”
“I asked because I thought you might know.”
Her only rival in this world— Professor Jane Moriarty.
A criminal consultant and an investigative consultant— contrasting professions, a relationship of opposites. Yet, both geniuses possessed similar abilities, considered to be neck and neck by Isaac Adler.
Perhaps it was due to this peculiar relationship they shared...
...That the conclusion Charlotte reached in this case was almost identical to the one Professor Moriarty arrived at.
“Maybe you don’t know either?”
Regardless of what kind it was, she needed to create a Fait Accompli, a permanent bond holding the two, that Isaac Adler couldn’t escape from, and she had to do it as quickly as possible.
“...Are you high, perchance?”
“I quit a long time ago...”
That was the key to ending the enormous blood feud that enveloped London.
“...You’re insane.”
It was the moment the two geniuses, having simultaneously comprehended the same truth, began their direct confrontation.
“Sometimes you have to be insane to obtain what you desire.”

After leaving the basement, I wandered around the mansion for a while, but I was ultimately unable to discover the reason behind the increased erosion rate.
“Professor, you’ve been waiting for a while.”
“Mr. Adler.”
Having left the mansion without much gain, Professor Moriarty, who had been waiting outside, waved at me.
“What were you up to?”
“Professor, I...”
“Mr. Adler.”
Wearing an awkward smile, as if I had become the protagonist of a cheap romance novel, I was contemplating whom to choose when Professor Moriarty suddenly spoke up with a gleam in her eyes.
“I finally understand the complete rules of the game you’ve created.”
“Excuse me?”
With that, she grabbed both my arms and pinned me against the wall.
“Ultimately, the person who fully possesses you becomes the master of London.”
Held tightly and pinned against the carriage’s wall, Jane Moriarty leaned in toward me.
“Isn’t that right?”
Had I gone mad already?
“...I’m not sure.”
If not... why was my heart suddenly fluttering while looking at the smiling face of Professor Moriarty?
“I really don’t know.”
I was certain my favorite was Charlotte Holmes. Then... why?
“...Well then, let me enlighten you.”
Caught in an inexplicable mood with my expression growing increasingly numb, her tongue naturally penetrated into my mouth with practiced ease.
“Heup...”
With eyes shut tightly, the professor swirled her tongue inside my mouth for quite some time. Eventually, she pulled her head back and spoke again.
“Although I might not know how to love someone, I believe I can make you fall in love with me.”
“...Professor.”
“Don’t worry. My ambition is strong. A little bit of this is nothing if it’s for the sake of victory.”
With that said, she stole another kiss from my lips leaning in closer once more.
“...And Isaac, remember this.”
I flinched, thinking she was going for another kiss, but instead, she whispered softly into my ear.
“The curse upon me ensures that every crime I commit becomes a perfect crime.”
But the impact of that whisper was far greater than the previous kiss.
“Be prepared, anytime, anywhere.”
“.......”
“If things go awry, even I’m uncertain of what I might do.”
Warning!
– Probability of ???: 20% → 40%
Slowly, I was beginning to get a sense of what this probability was all about.
.
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, at that moment, in Lady Roylott’s room,
“...Ha.”
Even though Isaac Adler had thoroughly searched the place, for some reason, an unidentified black shadow still stood at the very heart of this whole case.
“Ha-ha.”
A moment later, the shadow reached for the securely locked safe.
“It even withstood an explosion. Not even breaking after all that.”
From that safe, the shadow effortlessly pulled out something wriggling like a snake and began to display a chilling smile on her face.
“I love you, Isaac Adler.”
Simultaneously, a message appeared in front of Adler, who was riding away from the mansion in a carriage with the professor.
??? feels an uncanny affection toward you!
Warning!
– Probability of Assassination: 33% → 40%
Warning!
Erosion Rate: 5% → 6%
“...Bloody hell...!”
“What’s the matter, Mr. Adler?”
The shadow, which had stood there for quite a while, quickly melted into the floor and hid its presence when the footsteps of the guards began to echo from the staircase.
“...I will definitely slaughter and kill you.”
The shadow spat out that single sentence in an ecstatic tone in its raspy voice.
