Great Detective Coronet and The Tragedy of Yuu Translation Chapter 3

Chapter 3: The First Incident
Kamuri: Mufu~

Yuuko: It was delicious.

Kamuri: I'm satisfied.

Yuuko: Kamuri, you alright? You've eaten too much and you're walking unsteadily now.

Kamuri: I'm fine. I was promised that dessert will be delivered to my room later, so the party isn't over yet.

Yuuko: Eh!? You want to eat even more?

Kamuri: Mm, my limit has yet to be seen. See you then, my room is right here.

Yuuko: R-Right. Don't eat too much, you'll break your stomach.

(Transition)

Kamuri: Alright. I'll rest for a bit until my dessert comes.

(Knock, knock)

Hotaru: Kamuri-san. I've brought your dessert.

Kamuri: You're quick.

Hotaru: Here. Please enjoy your dessert.

Kamuri: I'm delighted. It looks delicious. Thanks for the dessert.

Kamuri: ...........(Munch, munch)

Hotaru: Um, Kamuri-san.

Kamuri: Mm.

Hotaru: Kamuri-san, you always come here during vacations right? Um, then what job do you do regularly?

Kamuri: My resume says here that I operate a sole proprietorship.

Hotaru: Sole proprietorship? What kind?

Kamuri: I can't say it in further detail.....but basically I accept requests and go to various towns.

Kamuri: And I eat the delicious foods there.

Hotaru: Accept requests, huh.

Hotaru: .....Um, by the way Kamuri-san. About the meunière back then, that was some brilliant analysis.

Kamuri: Really?

Hotaru: Yeah. Kei-san said it too, that you're like a detective.

Kamuri: ...........(Munch, munch)

Hotaru: ...........Um, Kamuri-san. Are you perhaps.......

Lamp: Everyone, there's a big problem! Please come down here right now!

Kamuri: It's Lamp's voice.

Hotaru: Somehow, I feel perplexed......

Kamuri: I'm heading down to have a look.

Hotaru: Ah, I'm going too.

(Transition)

Lamp: Something big has happened! The onyons for tomorrow breakfast has gone!

Hotaru: Eh. What happened?

Lamp: Yes. When Leine-san went to the grocery warehouse, I was intrigued too and I followed her........

Leine: When we opened the box that Cork left in the grocery warehouse, there isn't any onyons inside, but instead there were rocks.

Yuuko: Something strange is happening again......

Kirara: What if Cork mistakenly delivered rocks to us, instead of the onyons?

Leine: Cork is a very reliable person........So she wouldn't make such a mistake.

Kei: Then someone must've entered the warehouse and stole all the onyons......is this what that means?

Lamp: I cannot think of other reasons aside from this.......so everyone, this is a serious issue!

Yuuko: Yeah..... but who, and on what purpose would do such a thing?

Lamp: I don't know who that person is, but they're famous delicacies after all, so why would that person took them all for itself?

Kamuri: Until now, are there thieves around here?

Kirara: No, it's our first time. There isn't anyone living around here, and there's nothing on this mountain except this pension.

Leine: That's why, we haven't encountered a single thief, not even once.......

Match: Perhaps it's the work of some ghost.

Kamuri: A ghost.......

Match: Cause isn't there a hungry ghost that would appear in this pension?

Yuuko: But I just can't believe a ghost would.......

Lamp: That's right. This isn't because of some ghost, but it's the crime of a living person.

Lamp: However, rest assured! Just like the Great Detective Coronet, I'll solve this case in an elegant fashion!

Hotaru: .......Coronet?

Kamuri: ..............

Yuuko: Um, Great Detective Coronet......who is this person?

Kei: Eh, Yuuko doesn't know about this person? About the famous detective.

Lamp: By any chance Kei-san is also a fan as well!?

Kei: Yeah. If you're talking about the cases Coronet has solved, that much I'd know roughly.

Kirara: I've only heard the name. There are rumours that this person solved numerous complicated cases.

Lamp: You're right. The anecdotes following the cases which that person had involved in, has spread all across the streets in town.

Kei: Mm but, I know nothing about the Coronet in person.

Kei: Like where Coronet lives, how to contact Coronet, what does Coronet look like, and how old is Coronet.

Lamp: It's okay to remain these questions mysterious!

Lamp: I've been saying that person for a while, but actually there's a rumor about Coronet being a female.

Yuuko: Heeh. Then there's a possibility that her age is similar to mine.

Kamuri: ......

Lamp: Anyways! I'll be investigating this case!

Lamp: That's me, member of the Coronet Fan Club, with a single-digit membership number!

Leine: Now, now. Lamp-chan, calm down.

Leine: To make sure, I'll ask Cork as well. About the case or solving it, we can do them after that right?

Leine: ......More importantly, the problem now is the breakfast tomorrow. Our onyons has disappeared, what should we do...

Hotaru: I think we have no choice but to change the menu with dishes made from other ingredients........

Leine: Hmmmm. But I did say we'll have onyons for tomorrow after all......

Kirara: But I don't think there's anything we can do if they're lost.....

Leine: No, I've made up my mind. I'm heading into town and acquire some onyons from now on.

Hotaru: Ehhh! You're still heading out in the middle of the night? And also the sole path to town takes a few hours to go through!

Kirara: And moreover even if you go in town to obtain onyons, it'd still be....

Leine: During this time of the year, I think there'd be some in the morning markets, and I'll buy them.

Leine: But I'm not sure if they got those high quality onyons that Cork brought us.....

Lamp: Um Leine-san, you don't have to go that far.....

Leine: No, it's fine. Lamp-chan, and everyone else have been looking forward to them after all.

Leine: As the owner of this place, I can't afford to let everyone down.

Lamp: Leine-san.......

Leine: Kirara-chan, Hotaru-chan. I'll head out from now on.

Leine: Even though I won't be here tonight, I still ask you two to take good care of everyone.

Kirara: A-Alright.

Hotaru: The rain is still heavy outside. Leine-san, please be careful out there.

Leine: Okay. Thanks for your concerns. .......Then I'll be going.

(Heavy raining outside)
