Chapter 2
England, Near Big Ben
Helloooo, England!
Our current location: the heart of London, Westminster Palace. We’re currently in front of Big Ben.
That’s Big Ben. It seems strangely larger than what I’ve seen from the archives.
Maybe it's that whooole 'weight of human history' thing that makes it feel that way.
I see.
Well, I don’t really get the logic behind it. Yoda said something about that before.
Through the passage of time, the building itself becomes more dignified. What an interesting phenomenon.
(Maybe it's because even if all living things were to die out, these inorganic objects would still remain in some form~ That may actually be kind of amazing!)
Alright, Nari! What’s the most efficient route to check out all the hot spots?
The British Museum, The London Eye, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, and the Kew Gardens. There’s soooo many places to see in England!
I would like to visit as many places as possible in order to write up a comprehensive travel report, but…
I know you have a travel plan, but we’re restricted on time. I recommend that we select a few tourist spots to visit.
Hmmm– We came all the way here, so I wanna see everything! We’ll make it a 24 hour, non-stop England sightseeing marathon~!
I apologize, but I cannot follow through with that. I believe I do not have enough battery life to sustain me for that long.
Battery! Androids have it rough, too!
Well then, let’s go as far as we can before time’s up. With charging breaks, of course!
Thank you for your consideration. Then let me search for the best route while factoring in the best times at each location, so please wait for a bit.
Yay! We’re finally getting to the good part!
Search complete. Narrowing down the list of candidates.
Mmm~ I kinda wanna check out one of those pub places too. Kidney pie♪ Fish and chips♪ Yorkshire pudding♪
Additional search items have been included. Re-examining routes that include pubs.
—Research result has been found. Then let’s go to the Westminster Hall over there.
Aye aye! Here’s where the real fun starts~!
Cooome to think of it, I’ve seen this view somewhere before. Where was it again…
Perhaps from the news, or a video production set in England.
Speaking of which, there’s a play featuring the work “Sherlock Holmes” by Conan Doyle.
Sherlock Holmes! I went back and reviewed eeeeverything about him just for this trip!
Then, shall we make our way to Baker Street? There seems to be a Holmes monument and a museum related to Holmes in that area.
Yippie–! Let’s go, let’s go–!
Then, let me make additional changes to the route—
Hmmumu?
The path we are heading to seems to be quite busy. There’s a crowd of people gathered at the back of the alleyway.
Ding! I smell a juicy mystery brewing!
Let’s go, Nari!
Ah…. Please wait for me, Yowa-sama.
To understand the situation, I have activated the translator application.
≪Hey… is that person alright?≫
≪I don’t know, maybe they’re completely wasted. With the way they’re just lying there… doesn’t seem too far-fetched to say they’re dead.≫
I knew it! It really is a case!!
It seems like an emergency.
‘Outta the way~~~!!!’ The great detective Netaro is on the scene~!!!!
Yowa-sama. The man whose clothes have been torn off is lying on the ground.
Is he alive!? Is he dead!?
There are signs of him breathing… I shall check whether he’s conscious or not.
Mm? There’s something written on the wall in ink behind that guy.
Rache… it seems to be in German. It means—
—Revenge…
Th-This is…!
The return of Sherlock Holmes’ series: A Study in Scarlet—!
