To the Collection of Gods, Hirono's death was not Lu Shu's fault, but was instead the responsibility of the Conservatives. Except the distress points said otherwise. In reality, Lu Shu had done it, so it was really, Lu Shu's fault…
Tonight, Lu Shu had not appeared in the case of Hirono's death. The battle between the Conservatives and the Jingoists, as well as the 'Ninth Heavenly King' causing havoc were two independent events in the eyes of the Collection of Gods. But they did not expect that Yaeko would stubbornly connect the two cases together. Even Lu Shu himself was very surprised. He had planned on packing up…
With Yaeko on his back, Lu Shu climbed up into the attic. He made sure to hide all the ladders in the attic. This was to prevent the Collection of Gods from discovering the attic after associating it with the ladders they would find otherwise.
