……

Naturally, Paddo also joined the investigation team, and together they returned to the amusement park to find the fairy Airi.

However, the three of them searched for several rounds but couldn't find any trace of the fairy Ellie.

Just as Mei was frowning, the great magician Velvet jumped out again and pulled out her secret weapon—

Consciousness collector.

"In short, this hat allows you to enter someone else's mind and view their memories."

"Through it, we can check everyone's alibi, and of course, prove our innocence."

“Consciousness extractor…” Mei is currently in a very sensitive stage.

She still didn't fully trust Velvi, so naturally she was unwilling to use such props of unknown origin.

So she refused very decisively.

However, at this moment, Paddo stepped forward again, indicating that she could be the test subject for this prop.

This shows that Pado also maintains absolute trust in the other heroes.

However, the players didn't notice this detail.

Mei was also somewhat surprised by Pado's decisiveness.

"So, Ms. Mei, are you really going to betray the trust that I and Little Paddo have placed in you?"

Meiyi: "..."

Now that things have come to this, she has no other choice.

"ok, I get it"

Then, following Virvi's instructions, Mei put the hat on Pado's head.

At the same time, Mei noticed the mischievous smile on Wilvi's lips.

Unfortunately, what's done is done, and Mei didn't have much time to think about it.

Because the scene before her eyes had become Pado's recent memories.

Among them are scenes from before Mei and Paddo met.

There are also things that happened before Mei entered the deepest part.

These memories are Pado's soliloquy and her complaints about the complicated situation at the time.

"Seriously, can't we all just sit down and have a proper chat?"

"I know... we're not the type to have a proper conversation, and we all have complicated pasts."

"But...why must we keep fighting? We're partners who've even faced death together...shouldn't we be considered partners? Canned food?"

"Aim~"

"Don't worry about comforting me, Canned Food. I finally found a place to stay, and I'm not going to just stand by and watch my companions fight amongst themselves."

"After all, even if I only come in last place, I'm still one of the thirteen heroes recognized by Sister Ellie."

"Wow...it's like a dream~ Even an orphan like me from Twilight Street is being called 'Hero' by everyone."

"Canned food, what do you think... if my mom and dad were still alive?"

Will they be proud of me?

……

Although this monologue by Pado doesn't contain any particularly important clues.

But it also made the players... unable to help but chuckle.

After all, they had all learned about Pado's past from the files.

Before joining the Firemoth, she had always lived a life of constant wandering.

From her few words, it's clear that Pado is very satisfied with her life in this paradise.

She also cares about these companions.

This must be the paradise she dreamed of.

There's sunshine, afternoon naps, and business opportunities.

There are companions who have faced death together, and... Mei, this unfortunate... generous guest...

A monologue, coupled with cheerful background music, brought a smile to the players' faces.

They were all happy for Pado's current happy life.

When Mei in the game saw these memories, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Although, in Pado's eyes, she was a "sucker"...

"Let's keep looking ahead..."

She looked all the way down and finally saw the night before Kevin disappeared.

Seeing this, Mei also became serious.

But as Mei watched, she became somewhat speechless...

"Ninety-six, ninety-seven..."

"I never imagined there were so many treasures hidden here. I'll ask Mei-nee to take me treasure hunting again tomorrow!"

Meiyi: "..."

This cat... actually counted its treasures all night long...

She didn't fall into a deep sleep until dawn, still holding her "treasures".

"We can sell the mechanical parts to Sister Wilvie, the pretty trinkets to Sister Alice, and as for these strange decorations, we can just trick Amo and the others into buying them."

"Hehe...we're rich now!"

Meiyi: "..."

"This really suits Pato's personality..."

Just as Mei was about to leave, Pado's sleep-talking suddenly came over.

"...This must be kept from Sister Aili."

"Hmm... that's right, and Mei-nee too, otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have let me off the hook..."

These two sentences concerned both Airi and herself, causing Mei to frown and feel a little nervous...

However, Pado never revealed a single word about it again after that.

Before Mei could think any further, the memory extractor pulled her consciousness back.

When she woke up again, she found that Pado and Vivi were quietly watching her.

The great magician, Velvet, spoke first: "It seems this side is over too. So, dear audience, what did you see?"

Paddy asked nervously, "Mei-nee, you must have seen it, right? I didn't see Kevin at all the day he had the accident."

Meiyi: "..."

She didn't answer, but just stared at Pato quietly.

Pado: "..."

She turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, avoiding eye contact with Mei, clearly feeling guilty.

"Don't...don't look at me like that, Mei-nee, it's making me nervous."

"I really didn't do anything..."

Mei: "...I saw your memories from the night Kevin disappeared."

You spent the entire night sorting through the goods that everyone had collected, and only went to sleep with them as dawn approached.

"Hehe... I'm quite excited because I found a lot of good stuff while treasure hunting~" Pado chuckled foolishly.

"But wouldn't that prove my innocence?"

"See, I told you long ago that I'm innocent. Now, can I join you in the investigation?"

However, Mei continued to stare coldly at her: "But..."

"Tell me before you fall asleep that you're going to do something behind my and Alicia's back."

"Pado, are you hiding something from us?"

These words piqued Virvi's interest.

"I didn't expect Little Paddo to be so well-behaved after all~"

In fact, Vilvi still believed in Pado.

However... she was simply very curious about Pado's secret.

At this point, Pado did indeed become a little hesitant.

"It's just... a little business..."
