Memories from the past resurface in Elteel’s mind.
Not as Elteel-Sirius Flame, not as the 《Unlaw》 living in this city.
But as Sheila-Rubyvas, as memories of the eldest daughter of the Rubyvas territory’s ruling family.
Rubyvas was a land about three days by train from Balldlum, prosperous from metallurgy.
And Sheila was born and raised in such a city.
Being from a ruling family, she was wealthy, wanted for nothing, received education that commoners could never afford, and should have had happiness guaranteed.… Read more

TLNOTE : I’m really sorry! The timeline glitched, and Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 6 posted before Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 5 was fully posted. I’m fixing it now!
“Lonzder-san!?”
Elteel couldn’t fully process what had just happened.
The moment Whisper swung that strange rod, Lonzder was sent flying by an explosion. The blast was intense—she was embedded into the wall behind her, buried under rubble.
Not that it mattered. She wouldn’t die from something like that.… Read more

The pitch-black sewer was filled with silence.
About ten meters wide and three meters high, with sewage flowing through the center and narrow walkways on either side.
It was a place that maintenance workers visited only once every few weeks, and
“—Bwah!”
Lonzder pulled herself from the water surface onto the walkway.
“Hah… hah… hah…”
With her right hand gripping her jacket hooked on the edge, her upper body leaning out,
“There we go.”
“Cough, cough…!”… Read more

“So that’s why you were investigating the cemetery.”
“Right. Whisper was a bomber who operated from the graveyard. Even if the scent of gunpowder faded for most, you’d notice it. Wouldn’t you?”
“Well, yes, but… what if he changed his methods?”
“Then we’d just expand the investigation.”
Shrugging, Lonzder exhaled a plume of smoke.
“Detective work is a tedious pile of small observations. The excitement comes when they click together and reveal the truth—but getting there is mostly wasted effort.”… Read more

Detective Harrison Leonard’s office was located in the basement of the Balldlum Police Department.
Sandwiched between the morgue and the autopsy room, the placement felt like a deliberate slight—because it was. His role as the liaison between Cartesius and the police wasn’t publicly acknowledged, and his habit of butting into investigations outside his jurisdiction had earned him no favors among his colleagues.
Not that he cared.
Ever since getting involved with Unlaws years ago—or more precisely, since being recruited by Cartesius—he’d accepted the isolation.… Read more

“To cut to the chase, this time it’s not an investigation. It’s a fugitive capture. And not an [Unlaws]—just a regular human. Though we are allowed to kill them if necessary.”
“Hmm. That is unusual… no, stranger than that. Isn’t [Cartesius] supposed to be the shady organization managing [Unlaws]? Since when did they start doing the police’s dirty work?”
“I won’t deny the ‘shady’ part, but technically, they are a government body. I asked my sister about it, but she dodged the question.”… Read more

“Hyahaha! You got me, detective!”
The brown-skinned woman heard the shout from behind.
“Don’t forget! I’ll definitely—!”
“……Pathetic.”
Exhaling a plume of purple smoke, the woman spat the words dismissively.
The man being hauled away by the police was already part of her past.
“Magnificent work, Ms. Slaney.”
The next voice belonged to the lord of the Rubyvas territory.… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 1 Epilogue
Epilogue
In a windowless office, Norman faced two women.
Sphere Hamish.
She had the same hair and eye color as Norman, wearing glasses – the chief of the Cartesius Balldlum branch.
Behind her stood Iris Norton, a woman in a black suit with black hair. She was an intelligence officer who mainly scrutinized and collected information on the Unlaws within the city, also serving as Sphere’s secretary.
“Well then, how are you feeling?”… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 5
“Nooooooooooooormaaaaaannnnn!!”
As the black sky gradually whitened to welcome the morning, a scream rang out.
Who the five turned their gazes toward was Jim, in an appearance too gruesome to call merely covered in wounds.
His entire body was drenched in blood, with broken bones piercing through the flesh everywhere. His arms and legs pointed in strange directions, and his gait was unsteady.
“I saw it! What happened just now! That’s what I’ve been seeking!… Read more

Norman took a step forward. Pressed at the knee, Jim followed the same motion.
“You may be basically immortal, but it’s just basically. You can’t recover spilled blood. Your physical structure is still human.”
Another step forward.
“And there must be a limit to how much you can regenerate. The later wounds clearly took longer to heal compared to the first ones.”
That’s why Norman let himself get shot – to time how long it took the eye injury to heal.… Read more
