Scott Outpost
Eous brought H.S.O.S 6 back here.
Belle and Ray came to the door to greet them.
Belle looked at Hoshimi Miyabi's face, staring a bit blankly.
Although she knew they looked alike, this was just too similar!
Even that dazed feeling Aya has was there.
One could only say they were truly sisters!
Unfortunately, the two had already had a falling out.
Otherwise, they would definitely look great standing together!
"Investigator, is there something on my face? You've been staring at me."
Hoshimi Miyabi noticed Belle staring and asked in confusion, not understanding why.
"Section Chief Miyabi, it might be because we've met this investigator before."
"Remember? When we were chasing someone to Sixth Street and asking door-to-door, we seemed to have seen her there."
Harumasa looked at Belle with a smile, his thoughts unknown.
"I see. I wonder if this investigator has seen anyone who looks a lot like me."
Hoshimi Miyabi asked, but after she finished, Belle immediately denied it, saying she hadn't.
"By the way, Ray, did I pass my assessment?"
Belle pulled the topic back.
"Yes, you passed."
"Excellent, from today on, you are a qualified investigator."
"Here is your ID."
Saying that, Ray handed a card to Belle.
After receiving her identity card, Belle said her goodbyes and prepared to leave.
At the entrance, Wise was leaning against the van, waiting for Belle's arrival.
"Sister, did you get it?"
Wise asked; although he knew she definitely got it, he still wanted that sense of ceremony.
Hearing Wise's words, Belle giggled and displayed the identity card she just got in front of Wise. "Of course I got it. Brother, you actually didn't believe in your sister."
Seeing this, Wise smiled helplessly. "Let's go home. Aya must be getting anxious waiting at home."
Then the two got into the car and left Scott Outpost. Not long after they drove away, Yanagi, Soukakku, and Hoshimi Miyabi arrived there.
"Section Chief, it seems my guess was correct."
"They indeed have a connection with your sister."
Yanagi adjusted her glasses; it was now basically certain that these siblings were related to the Section Chief's sister.
That shout of "Aya" was identical to the male voice at the restaurant back then.
After Yanagi finished speaking, Harumasa drove over in an ordinary model SUV.
"Let's go, Section Chief."
"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to keep up."
Harumasa pointed at the car, signaling the others to get in quickly.
Seeing this, the others didn't hesitate at all and quickly got into the car.
Wise and Belle in front didn't notice anyone following them at all. Since they had disconnected from the H.D.D System after leaving the outpost, even if Fairy noticed, she couldn't warn them.

Sixth Street, Video Store
Hoshimi Aya was sitting on a stool by the door, humming an out-of-tune song.
The large iron gate of the garage had been opened early by Hoshimi Aya; she had already received Belle's message just now.
She opened the iron gate early so that Belle and the others could drive the car directly inside.
After a while, Belle and Wise drove back, pulling into the garage in one smooth motion.
Seeing this, Hoshimi Aya closed the iron gate. Just as she was about to go inside, she suddenly felt several gazes watching her and whipped her head around.
Hoshimi Aya:...
"It's really strange."
"Why does it always feel like someone is peeping at me lately?"
Hoshimi Aya looked at the normal street in confusion.
No one was looking at her!
It was like this before, and it's like this now.
Could it be a ghost?!"
Thinking of this, Hoshimi Aya quickly went inside.
"Belle, Wise, let's go buy some Bagua Mirrors and Talismans."
"I feel like I've encountered something dirty."
"Just now I clearly felt someone peeping at me, but when I looked back, no one was there."
"I've had this feeling for the past few days, but when I look back, no one is there."
Hoshimi Aya said while hugging Belle.
"Such a thing happened?"
"Let's go inside and ask Fairy. I remember it hacked all the nearby surveillance before."
Belle thought as she looked at Hoshimi Aya, who had pounced into her arms.
"This matter definitely needs to be checked, but Aya, why didn't you say anything when this happened before?"
Wise asked, looking at Hoshimi Aya in Belle's arms.
"Didn't I not suspect it before?"
"Besides, with my strength, how many people could avoid my detection?"
Hoshimi Aya fell silent.
She knew very well how powerful Fairy's abilities were in the game's plot.
So the first time she didn't suspect anything, thinking she just felt wrong, but the second time couldn't be an accident. Moreover, she felt the number of peeping gazes had increased.
"In any case, let's have Fairy check the nearby surveillance first."
Wise pondered, and then they entered the secret room to ask Fairy about the situation outside.
"There is nothing unusual in the outside surveillance, but it cannot be ruled out that the other party is in a blind spot."
Fairy pulled up the surveillance from before Hoshimi Aya entered the door; observing from multiple angles, there were no strange people.
"Nothing?"
"Could it really be some kind of ghost or monster?"
"I heard the Talismans from Mount Yun Kui are very effective. Let's find an opportunity to have Belle use her connections to get us a few."
"Better to have them than not."
Belle pondered.
"Yeah, that's all we can do for now."
"After all, they are surveillance blind spots. We'll fill them in once we have more money."
Wise thought to himself. There were indeed some places around their home without surveillance, and they were blind spots. It seemed this area needed to be strengthened.
