"Oh? From another country? What's going on? Is it the work of spies from other countries?"

The woman looked surprised at the answer given by the man in black.

"No, it's not about that. Let's set that aside for now. Actually, I heard something very interesting, something that I think Fiose would also find intriguing."

"Me?"

"I obtained this information from the person in charge of the auction house, of course, under the condition that I hypnotized the person, so they won't have any memory of it, let alone remember what they said."

"Keeping no trace as always, so, what is it exactly? That piece of information that caught my interest."

"Apparently, the culprit is a foreign teenage boy wearing sunglasses."

"A foreign teenage boy? Could it be..."

The woman's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ah, I think it's most likely that boy. At first, I wasn't sure, after all, the description given was quite vague. But when Fiose mentioned that boy, I began to suspect, and now, the more I think about it, the more plausible it seems, carrying out such a crazy act of blowing up the auction house."

"Yes, something like that is probably only something a boy would do."

The woman sighed helplessly.

"And, guess what the boy used to blow up the place."

"Oh? Wasn't it a bomb?"

Just as the words were spoken, the next moment,

"No, a boy wouldn't do such a simple thing, and a bomb big enough to blow up the auction house wouldn't be able to be carried in, so what exactly..."

The woman shook her head.

"When I tell you, you will probably be shocked, because I was startled when I heard about it."

"So, what is it exactly?"

"It's actually quite simple, it was done using 100 explosive Jujutsu Papers, how about that? The answer is surprisingly simple."

"What?"

Everyone involuntarily gasped.

"100 Jujutsu Papers? This kind of thing..."

"Well, I know what Fiose is thinking, even with 100 Jujutsu Papers, it may not necessarily be enough to blow up the place. After all, no one has tried this method before, and although it sounds simple, in practice, there are many unimaginable difficulties involved. Considering it's not their home, they can't just do as they please."

"How to not be discovered by the other party, how to correctly choose the placement of the Jujutsu Papers, these are all considerations, and ultimately, they should be entering there for the first time, theoretically, it should be impossible for them to know the structure inside, without this most basic premise, there is simply no way to proceed."

"Well, as Fiose said, without knowing the structure, there's no way. In any case, this kind of thing isn't something an ordinary person can come up with, and even if they did, most people wouldn't be able to execute it. In other words, it's simply an impossible method, but the fact remains that that boy effortlessly accomplished it, and the now-ruined auction house stands as the best evidence, and now, I finally understand a bit."

"Oh? Understand?"

"I now understand just how dangerous the boy mentioned by Fiose is, with this kind of strategy, there's basically nothing he can't do, he's not only someone not to be underestimated, but this kind of talent, can only be described as dreadful."

"This is just..."

The little girl suddenly widened her eyes and said with a trembling voice.
