Apparently Mr Kaburagi knows who did it. But he refuses to tell me.
[HMPH.]

I certainly am not attempting to rush anything. The last thing I want to do is embarrass myself and proposition someone who isn't interested.

[greatdeduction]

...Ah.

[There's...a pause.]

I know of...who it was. That cursed you and I. [Hm.] I am quite surprised they didn't tell you.

[LIKE. HELLO??]

That's very good, then. And sometimes, its hard to tell, you know. Maybe one of these days, someone will proposition you.

[winebar]

Mr Kaburagi expressed he told them to speak with me, but apparently they were worried I would become angry with them.

[AND NOW HE'S JUST OFFENDED SINCE THEY APPARENTLY DID TALK TO SHOLMES??? RUDE!]

Who was it?
[Lets focus on this and not the ridiculous statement Sholmes made at the end there.]

[greatdeduction]

...Well, you are scary.

[Like. Look at you. And he just...sighs.]

It's Rex. He thought it would be funny at the time.

[winebar]

[THAT LITTLE GOBLIN.]

Have you properly reprimanded him or shall I have to do so myself?

[greatdeduction]

The man did apologize, and I did make it clear that the consequences of his actions were not at all funny. He did seem to understand, so I didn't take measures for some kind of proper punishment.

[winebar]

I cannot fathom why Mr Kaburagi came away with the impression that he was afraid to speak to me, I hazard that Mr Salazar attempts to annoy me nigh every time we have spoken.

[greatdeduction]

Well, its one thing to annoy, but he told me that when he saw the state I was in following that whole mess, he did feel guilty. That curse was far more of a transgression than simply saying something to get you to frown.

[winebar]

[Hmph.]

And what of the curse upon you and Mr Kaburagi?

[greatdeduction]

[He shrugs.]

I have not had anyone inform me of the owner of that particular curse, I'm afraid.

[winebar]

I see.

In any case, hopefully no one else has been given use of such a curse.

[greatdeduction]

Mm. There could be two more...but I can't be sure.

[Also reaching for that braid.]

Who did this for you?

[winebar]

Mr Kuninaga. For some reason everyone in the House this morning decided to do eachother's hair.

[greatdeduction]

Oh, grandfather does rather good work, I see. It's very flattering on you.

[Patting over it. It's nice!]

[winebar]

[A tinge of pink.]

I-It is only because I refused to keep the earlier more ridiculous styles he forced upon me. Why are you calling him grandfather?

[greatdeduction]

Because he's over a hundred years old, my dear fellow. He's a very old sword.

[winebar]

... What do you mean he's a sword?

[greatdeduction]

He's a sword! In his world, when an object exists for over one hundred years, they can develop a soul. He's the soul of a sword. I saw his memory.

[winebar]

I... see.
[That may as well be true.]

I suppose that explains why his sword has the same name.

[greatdeduction]

Yes, indeed! That's him.

So he's a grandfather. He's far older than you and I.

[winebar]

But he is not your grandfather, Sholmes.

[greatdeduction]

He is not, but its fun to call him that! He doesn't seem to mind.

[winebar]

He's a strange and stubborn man who cannot even follow simple instructions.

[greatdeduction]

See? You see he's just an old man. Don't give him a hard time.

[winebar]

I was assigned a room with miss Mikotoba, which was obviously untenable. I intended to sleep in the common area, but miss Sheba insisted I take her place in the room she was assigned with Mr Kuninaga while she shared with miss Mikotoba.

I insisted Mr Kuninaga stay on his side of the bed but he will not.
