The man drew the Perdin Collard, but in the picture, he seemed to be afraid as he pointed towards something in the distance. And then he drew a picture showing a different body, a lady in an extravagant yet thin dress, laying dead on the ground with a different kind of crown beside her and the carpet below it was covered in blood.

This depicted another monarch, namely Perdé Reina, from another land called Feheg, who had been killed. Then he drew many pointing fingers around Collard, depicting that the people thought it was him that killed the innocent Perdé.

Before he could draw anymore, Jordan woke up. And quickly used levitation magic to aim knives on the intruder he never seemed to be familiar with. That's where Josephine came right in front of him and told Jordan to stop. He calmed down only after he saw the cotton mask on the man's face, hinting to him that he was from Earth.

So, he used his magic of linguistic telepathy to make the mask a device so that he could speak in English. And this is what he said...

" Who are you people? How was I able to speak English!? Is the baby a mage too? Wait... I need to focus... I never want any bloodshed, really! I just served the Perdin of this land and he was accused of killing the Perdé Reina of the Feheg Empire, but he was innocent because I was with him the entire time and so, he wanted me to recruit detectives and a whole army just in case the two countries went to war... "

Then he gave a sincere apology to Josephine and noticed that she had a bracelet which had the style known on Earth and frowned a bit before talking more.

" That's why I came to you, Mage Candeva, but I can see that you no longer exist, and you're a girl who was isekai'd into her. Am I right? Well, at least I hope you have what it takes to become a detective, and the baby along, too. It's a rule that every child that's a month old must be brought to Perdin to be blessed, no matter what the status is..."

" Even if it's a slave? "

" Yes, but being a slave has a disadvantage of having only a blessing from the Perdin himself and not the rest of the royal family. "

Jordan was confused in so many ways, but he decided to make it short or otherwise, the man will freak out.

" Royal Family!? I thought this place was futuristic! Do I have to go? Am I going to get close to the princess to solve the case like in the animes? "

" Jordan! Not everything is anime you know! "

" I just like it! You can't argue about that though, because we became one. "

The man who was tied up finally introduced himself as Zarel, but had changed his name into a common Teirkerian name as Xeigo. He meant no harm and so, Jordan let his guard down and put all of the kitchen knives into the cabinets they were stored in.

" I want it all in order, ok! Not a single one should be out of place: That one for the meat, that one for vegetables, that one for fruits, and... I think that one was for soft minerals and that one's my favourite, the Grinder of Teirkeria! "

After he had done so, she changed her appearance into the real Candeva, and went outside to inform others that she was leaving, and demonstrated a performance where she said everyone goodbye and left in a flying veihicle that looked like a motorbike.

But only Jordan what her real plan was, as she didn't want to continue as Candeva anymore and changed her appearance again as she introduced herself, this time, without forcing her voice to sound like hers, and everyone was delighted to have her.

" Now that I'm way better with my reputation, let's go meet Perdin Collard. "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Aikido?... Roy? "

Jordan found himself surrounded by his family in meadows filled with luminous grass and beautiful flowers. He pinched himself, but he could feel the pain. Aikido was hugging him, Roy was arguing with his dad and his mom was trying to calm them down. He cried tears of joy as Aikido left him to get some water from a picnic table, as glamorous as always.

- It was only a dream... Only a dream... -

" Jordan? Why are you crying for? You're OK? Right? "

Roy's voice boomed through the peace of the meadows, frightened a bit. But more than anything, he felt happy. He jumped in joy at the thought of not having Josephine at all and ran around the meadows like a maniac. The wind blew on his hair and he laughed out loud as the family kept watching him from a near distance.

He felt confused for a moment... He turned back, no one was saying a single word, not even Roy is scolding him for running.

He got closer to them and asked what was wrong, only to see that they somehow became inanimate. He presses pressure points, tickled on the spots that made them laugh the most, but all was in vain. He even tried taking Aikido's bow, Roy's katana, his mom's necklace and his dad's glasses.

But they all remained still, not a single word came out.

Fearing for the worst, he crept closer to them and grabbed them tightly, closing his eyes and praying. But when he opened it, he only had their skeletons in his hands. He then knew it, he knew it was a dream, but he couldn't take it in easily...

- it was a dream... All a dream... -

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Details, please... "

Jordan woke up to hear Josephine speaking with so much superiority in her tone. He remembers now, he has reincarnated as a slave of his cousin Josephine, who was reincarnated as a mage known to the lands as Candeva. But after performing a leave from the land, she reveals her true form and makes people call her with her real name as if she has just arrived at the land of Mirois.

Jordan is now 4 weeks old and was training non-stop to quickly start walking so that he could help her as an apprentice for the next 5 years to become her adoptive son (or just run away, if things work out according to plans). Soon enough, Josephine was summoned by the ruler of Mirois, Perdin Collard, to investigate the death of the Perdé Reina of the Feheg Empire.

" Yes, Retcher Josephine... "

The duo are now at the crime scene, where people had gathered to investigate as well, because the Perdin had announced to the public that anyone who found the real culprit would be awarded handsomely, from a huge sum of money to even having permanent land.

So all have made teams of their own, one would interrogate, one would survey, and one would make theories. Jordan and Josephine were looking around with the team that surveys the entire crime scene along with areas that might have connected to it.

- I'm glad that the linguistic telepathy finally worked out. I just hope that nothing happens between the two countries, Do you think? Jordan, Do you think that a war might break out because of this? -

She pets him like how his family used to do, and it made him feel comfortable, but there was something odd about her question, why would she worry so much over it and yet, she is at the crime scene also hoping to get the culprit and put the person into the light of justice. At least, that's what she says. She carries him around in a structure that seemed like a front carrier for Jordan to sit on.

Some of the depressed people actually smiled and chuckled after seeing the carrier because it looked so cute. But the situation isn't as adorable for Jordan, who is having a hard time getting more comfortable because the carrier wasn't made by a professional style and had made some splinters that passed through his homemade diapers and kept pricking him again and again. But he needed to focus, and so did Josephine.

- I'm not sure, Josephine, but one thing I'm sure of is that the two countries won't have a good relationship anymore, especially their Perdins that rule over them. -

- Where would we go if it did break out a war? -

- I think we were supposed to focus on the mission instead of something that may or may not happen so easily, so, if you're really that worried.... the only thing I could say would be 'the sooner we're done with this, the sooner I can have a good, long nap with some sweet dreams.' -

- You're seriously thinking about that now!? -

- Just talking about wars makes me feel nauseous, if I can't get a good nap I won't be useful at all. -

- You do make a point there... But still! You need to be a lot more serious than this! -

" Retcher Josephine? "

She turned around when someone called her name, and in her sight was an exquisite person with long, bushy hair and ominous golden eyes. And he had dark skin with a tunic that fitted his skin perfectly. She then blushes as she talks to him, but Jordan was busy thinking about how he had made the man speak English with linguistic telepathy, it's almost impossible because linguistic telepathy was supposed to be out of telepathy and not verbal communication.

- The mask was from Earth, so it helped as a device... So if I could make something that is connected to Earth, so if I make something with an item from Earth, that would help me speak and listen... -

The gentleman noticed Jordan's deep thinking and was shocked when he also noticed that he was so cute! He wanted to interact, so he bent down and pointed his index finger over to his hands to play with him just like how any normal baby would. But in Jordan's point of view, it looked like the man was about to attack him with something due to his nearsightedness. That's where Jordan realised it!

- The mask had been connected when I woke up and was about to attack him! So the mana must have connected with the mask and made it a temporary device for linguistic telepathy and instead turned it into a device of linguistic.... What should I call this kind of magic? What about... Linguistic Decode! That's good enough... -

But when the finger touched his nose, it was ice cold and made him cry in an instant, making a scene for themselves. But Josephine had taken it in a whole other way and looked around by a side eye, noticing that a stranger that isn't from any investigation team has entered the room of the crime scene.

" You're a genius, Jordan! "

She quickly ran over to the scene as the people were shocked to hear English out of her, because nobody is familiar with the language. But they soon forgot about it as soon as she came back from the scene with a man tied up in her hand. The man looked exactly like the black noble. And so, he admitted in the end that he's a friend to the real culprit.
