Chapter 95: The Three Garridebs (2)
Im, Im sorry
Oh no, it doesnt even hurt that much.
As the girl with the haggard expression bowed her head in apology, Adler responded with a kind smile.
It seems you were famished. You ended up swallowing my fingers without even chewing them.
Ah
Her expression morphed into faint astonishment at his incredulous words.
Its okay, growing back a finger or two is as easy as pie for me.
Im, Im really, really sorry
Its fine; as long as youre no longer hungry.
However, as she saw Adler wrap his mangled hands with a bandage, the girls eyes darkened ever so slightly.
Buzzzzzzzt
I was attacked and almost half-eaten by you as soon as I entered this room. But, as you can see clearly, Im still quite alive, am I not?
Yes, yes?
I have a unique constitution. As long as Im not swallowed whole and digested till nothing of me is left, I am essentially immortal.
Pointing to the numerous teeth marks marring his body, he assured her of his survival and started administering first aid to his severed fingers. Meanwhile, the girl merely bowed her head in silence once she heard his piece.
Ooh, uuugh
Tears slowly began welling up in her eyes.
Huu, Uggghhh
Why are you crying again?
Adler couldnt help but scratch his head awkwardly, frowning as he saw her crying while making odd crying noises.
I almost killed someone again
Hmm.
I I am a monster.
His gaze shifted, silently taking in the layout of the desolate room, but soon turned back to her and he smiled as he spoke.
For a monster, youre quite beautiful.
Dont say things you dont mean.
However, the girl, a somber expression on her face, was quick to deny Adlers words.
How can a terrible monster who eats people be considered beautiful?
Wiping away the tears brimming in the corner of her eyes, she murmured with an expression drenched in endless guilt; her lips still able to taste the bitter, metallic tang of Adlers fresh blood.
Please reveal why you came to this place.
..
If you dont wish to respond, you can just leave. You wouldnt want to go through that terrible experience again now, would you?
Unknowingly, she bared her fangs at him and growled with a threatening voice.
By the way, if youre a doctor or a psychiatrist or something of the sort, Ill just tear you to shreds. Even more so if youre a hunter here to catch me.
What are you talking about?
Do you think I know nothing?
Her expression grew more and more sullen as more words leaked out of her mouth.
Youve been sent by my brother, havent you?
I already know everything. Even though you approached me with a smile at the start, you will eventually run away without lasting even a few days. So please, dont even bother and just leave.
Isaac Adler gazed at the girl with a serene calmness in his eyes.
Sorry, but Im neither a doctor nor a psychiatrist, or even this hunter of the occult, you speak of.
Then?
Kuhumm
He cleared his throat for a moment, and then, abruptly, spread his arms wide and opened his mouth with a cheerful expression.
Congratulations!
Caught off guard by his sudden demeanor, the girl widened her eyes and tilted her head in utter confusion.
What is this all of a sudden?
It may be sudden, but you are the rightful heir to a fortune left by a wealthy magnate.
What did you say?
To be precise, you have inherited a grand sum of 15 million dollars.
At those words, momentarily, a dazed look washed over her face.
Youre joking right now, arent you?
No, this is not a joke, young lady. I am only informing you of the absolute truth.
Adler, with narrowed eyes, began whispering to her in a soft tone.
Do you know of Alicia Hamilton Garrideb, the American magnate?
No, I havent heard that name before
Well, you havent been out of the house much, so its perfectly understandable.
Thank you for your hard work.
Several hours later
Ill come again tomorrow, so digest what youve already eaten.
There
Leaving the girl, who was drenched in blood and had eyes quivering with intensity, reaching out her hand toward him, Adler staggered out of the room.
How do you feel, Professor?
Exhaustion was evident on his face as he straightened his clothes and murmured under his breath in a low voice.
What do you mean?
Do you think I havent noticed your leering eyes all this time?
Mr. Adler, that is
As soon as the question was finished, Professor Moriarty hurriedly tried to explain
Pervert.
However, as Adler condemned her with a cold smile, the voice of the professor that resonated inside his head fell into a state of silence.
So, how did you find watching the scene of me being devoured?
A vicious and unruly wolf, I see.
A slightly disappointed look took over Adlers face once he heard the answer resonating inside his head.
However, it feels a bit different from the werewolves I know.
Hmm.
But as the professor murmured her doubts, a smile promptly returned to his face.
And the house is suspicious too. The structure of the mansion, the appearances of the servants there seems to be something hidden there.
Indeed, you are a queen worthy of my selection.
But, Mr. Adler Such things are not for us to uncover.
A slightly shy yet disgruntled voice echoed in his head.
Digging into the hidden backstories and secrets of a case is the job of a detective, not a criminal consultant. Arent we supposed to be concealing them?
Youre right, my adorable Miss Moriarty.
So what is your true nature? Your usual self, or when youre drunk?
But it would be too dull to just kidnap and murder that poor girl outside, wouldnt it?
Ignoring the professors disgruntled voice, Adlers eyes quietly shone.
So, its about time for our nemesis to appear.
You dont mean
Ive always preferred a stimulating love triangle over a bland and straightforward relationship, Professor.
Along with a message that shone golden in his hand, containing words that were all too familiar to them both.
When you sober up, lets have a serious conversation.
Im looking forward to it.
Despite the icy coldness in the voice that came through telepathy, Adler responded with a playful tone and unilaterally cut off the communication.
Until then, I guess Ill have to go on a detective date with Miss Holmes.

Please take care of yourself.
Hehe.

Meanwhile, at that same moment, at the lodging house at 221B Baker Street
Holmes, please, come to your senses.
Charlotte Holmes roommate, Rachel Watson, was arguing with her, sweating profusely throughout their verbal back and forth.
The book youve been reading is filled with sexual fantasies and delusions, inflated in a dangerous and provocative fashion.
.
Real love between a man and a woman isnt like that. Its not about lewd, pleasure-seeking acts; its about sharing pure love
Just get to the point, Watson.
Charlotte, unfazed by her roommates earnest voice, continued to flip through the coverless book as she asked the question.
Anyway, according to this, such acts could result in pregnancy, right?
That, well, yes, but thats not the point, is it?
In her hand, a message quietly glowed in golden.
A new mystery is upon us!
Thats an erotic novel banned as obscenity, Holmes!
Watsons plaintive voice echoed fruitlessly within the walls of the lodging house.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
