===<noinclude>The Parakeet's Hint </noinclude>Part 5===

"Hey, so you think it was Sei-sama after all?"

Yumi asked a steaming hot Yoshino-san as she came out of the bathroom.

"I don't know. But no matter how much you think about it, you won't be able to solve it here. Unless Sei-sama appears right now before our eyes."

They had talked about this for a long time while walking back after that scene. And after returning to the hotel. And at the dinner table. Whenever their faces met, the topic of conversation unfailingly was "Is Sei-sama in Italy or not?" The explored every clue, but clues were just clues. There was no way that a great detective would appear and expose the truth like in the solution of a mystery novel.

"Ah, me too, please."

Yumi saw the label of a small bottle in Yoshino-san's hand, so Yoshino-san held offered one in the palm of her hand.  It was stomach medicine to help digestion.

Every night a different restaurant, yet they all conspired to serve a mountain of meat. Japanese were originally an agrarian people. Even with their youth, they could not digest so much meat at one time.

"Also, we need to pack again? I just realized. Am I forgetting anything?"

Tomorrow morning, they vacate this hotel and head for their final destination: Venice. She hadn't forgotten anything. The problem was that the souvenirs that she bought today were crammed into her bag. Because it was stationery, it should not be folded or crushed.

"When we get back to Japan, we'll figure it out."

Saying this, Yoshino-san, washed the medicine down her throat with water from a plastic bottle.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

Just like the meat, tonight's discussion topic seemed to cause indigestion.
