Detective Barawa and the Jewel Resort Incident - Chapter 3: Cat Among the Pigeons - Episode 1

According to Detective Barawa's suspicions, the Phantom Thief is disguised as either the casino staff member, Ettore the butler, or Therese. Ettore is the first to be questioned, and as soon as his interrogation is over, monsters attack.

---

The great Detective Barawa points his finger first at the casino staff member, then to Ettore, and finally to Therese.

According to his deductions, one of them is actually Chat Noir in disguise.

Barawa: One of you is Chat Noir! Is it you, Mr. Employee? Is it you, the butler? Or maybe it's you, the duelist!

Casino Staff: ...

Ettore: ...

Therese: !

Vyrn: Wait a minute! This is a little crazy, don't ya think?

Lyria: Vyrn's right! How can you think that Therese is the Phantom Thief?

Barawa: I understand where you're coming from, but Chat Noir's disguises are crafty. Don't be taken in.

Sarya: I have a suggestion, Detective.

Barawa: What is it, Sarya? Go ahead.

Sarya: Why don't you question everyone to narrow down the suspects?

Barawa: Good idea. If the Phantom Thief has indeed disguised himself, he is sure to slip up eventually.

Barawa: Ettore, please tell us your version of events first.

Ettore: Me? Very well.

Ettore: I'd be pleased to get this whole business out of the way, so I can go and prepare tea for my lord.

Barawa: Thank you. My first and foremost priority is to clear you from suspicion.

Barawa: So what shall we ask first?

1. Who are you?
2. Why did you come to the casino?
3. Where were you at the time of the incident?
4. I don't have anything I want to ask...

Choose: Who are you?

Barawa: Ah yes, there might be hidden information we overlooked with regards to that. Good question, (Captain).

Ettore: I see. Well, let me introduce myself then.

Ettore: My name is Ettore. I work as Lord Vas's butler.

Ettore: I take care of all of his needs.

Barawa: What is your connection to Vas?

Ettore: Well, I first met Lord Vas over ten years ago.

Ettore: I've been happily serving him ever since.

Sarya: Over ten years ago, you say...

Ettore: Yes, twelve years ago to be precise. I started doing this job when I was only twenty-four years old.

Vas: That's right. I'm pretty sure the Phantom Thief wouldn't know personal information like that.

Choose: Why did you come to the casino?

Ettore: I accompany Lord Vas where ever he goes.
That includes the Jewel Resort.

Ettore: He would often come here to gamble in his free time.

Christina: That's true. There isn't a soul among the staff who doesn't know Vas.

Ettore: There are even times when Lord Vas is approached by Christina with delicate issues.

Christina: Stop, Ettore.

Christina: To be clear, it was Vas who approached me with his delicate issues.

Christina: But what we did then has nothing to do with Chat Noir.

Christina: So let's forget about that detail, shall we, little kittens?

Choose: Where were you at the time of the incident?

Sarya: The time of the incident... As in the time the rest of us were being chased into a different room by Chat Noir's monsters.

Ettore: The casino hall had filled with smoke and when it cleared, there were monsters everywhere.

Ettore: I ran, not because of a lack of experience fighting monsters, but because there were simply too many!

Ettore: I was so busy running for my life that before I knew it, I was lost!

Ettore: If Lord Vas had met with some unfortunate incident while I was away... I failed you, my lord.

Vas: Stop it, Ettore. All that matters is that you're safe.

Vas: If you were to endanger yourself in order to protect me, it would be too much to bear.

Ettore: Lord Vas... Such kind words... are wasted on me... Sob...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: I don't have anything I want to ask...

Barawa: Are we all done with questioning Ettore, (Captain)?

1. Finish questioning.
2. Interrogate further.

Choose: Interrogate further.

Barawa: So what shall we ask about next?

1. Who are you?
2. Why did you come to the casino?
3. Where were you at the time of the incident?
4. I don't have anything I want to ask...

Choose: Finish questioning.

Barawa: It seems like that's all we have to work with.

Sarya: Was anyone able to make any useful deductions?

Vyrn: Uh... Thinking's not my strong suit...

Barawa: Next up is...

Monsters: ...!

Lyria: Eek!

Vyrn: Whoa! What's going on?

Vyrn: Good timing though! I was getting bored!
