Moonlight illuminated the dark night outside the window, whereas the room was brightly lit by Floating Magic-powered lights. Herscherik and his men had made it back to his room without issue after leaving the orphanage and sneaking back into the castle through the hidden passage. Now, the three of them were openly displaying their distress with the current situation in their own ways.

“All of that work for nothing... It’s tough,” Herscherik muttered, crossing his legs on the sofa by the window. They hadn’t gained any useful information from the Oracle, and the only thing Herscherik had accomplished at the orphanage was reminding himself of how powerless he was.

“It doesn’t make sense that we still don’t have much to show for all our efforts,” Kuro agreed.

Even Kuro can’t get his hands on any more information. And we’ve still got no physical evidence... They were sure of the drug’s involvement this time around, as they were sure of what had happened two years ago, but they couldn’t follow up on any of their discoveries. The situation was extremely suspicious, considering the only missing records were all related to this drug. Herscherik assumed that someone very powerful had to be involved, but ultimately it was nothing more than an assumption. In fact, the only solid piece of evidence he had for the involvement of the same drug in the incidents two years ago and those occurring now was the tip provided to them by Roland, Oran’s father. Even that tip was given off the record, and Herscherik had only coincidentally come across it because he’d hired Oran, who happened to have had a run-in with this drug two years ago. That, and he’d happened to stumble across the madman with a sword in the castle town. As the incident in the castle town was currently under investigation, there was no way for Herscherik to check on its progress. There was a chance that it, too, would be swept under the rug just like everything else.

“Like it never even happened... Dammit!” Oran growled with frustration.

Herscherik let out a sigh. “Like it never even happened...” Speaking of, where did the money budgeted for the orphanages go? Setting aside funds for a just cause was pointless if that money was simply embezzled instead. Herscherik was outraged at the disarray of the nation’s finances all over again. If I were in charge, I’d set budgets according to past needs and performance, then I’d strictly audit everything, including expenses...

Just then, Herscherik was reminded of what the Oracle had told him. “Past and present. Expectations and reality. And the one in the midst of it all.” A bolt of inspiration. Herscherik leapt off of the sofa and dashed into his office. There, he rummaged through the mountains of paperwork to find the documents he was after and laid them out on his office desk.

“...I thought so.”

“Hersch?” Kuro called from beyond the open door. Both he and Oran had remained in the other room, puzzled by Herscherik’s sudden rush.

“Come in here, both of you! Hurry!” Herscherik waved them into the room and pointed at the documents.
