In this era, no country had real estate agencies or similar institutions. Anyone wishing to sell property could only list it with the government-established Real Estate Bureau. Likewise, anyone wanting to purchase property had to go to the Bureau.
The buyers and sellers often did not need to meet. Sellers simply submitted a price to the Bureau, and buyers could pay directly to the Bureau along with the required taxes to receive a property certificate.
Charlot Mecklenburg pondered ...

In other words, this era's approach to solving crimes was crude, lacking any semblance of professionalism.
It was said that the case-solving rate of the city patrol guards was less than three percent. Theft cases relied heavily on private detectives, while robberies, kidnappings, and murders were almost entirely handled through private bounties.
While it was better than having no law at all, it was only marginally so—a rough and unpleasant legal system.
The city patrol gua...

A well-preserved antique rapier from the Sherlock dynasty could fetch no less than 180 écu at auction, with some rare pieces selling for over 300 écu.
Because of this, many counterfeit Sherlock dynasty rapiers exist on the market. The magical rapier Charlot purchased was undoubtedly a replica.
The only reason he was willing to buy this counterfeit antique rapier was that it came with an authentic scabbard from the Sherlock dynasty.
Sherlock dynasty scabbards were even rare...

Charlot suppressed his nervousness and quickly found his office following Mrs. Pascal's directions.
It was a private office, quite spacious, with a large window offering a view of the street outside Kilmainham Prison. Though most of the space was occupied by filing cabinets, Charlot was still quite satisfied.
Working with filing cabinets was clearly much easier than working with colleagues—at least there would be no Nepotistic Office Politics to deal with.
"Filing cabinets...

Beyond the rack of firearms lay the display of cold weapons, primarily canes, rapiers, and daggers. Of these, canes were the most abundant because they doubled as everyday tools, making them the only weapon one could carry openly without raising suspicion.
The Imperial Army issued five standard types of canes. The battlefield cane, made of solid metal, was incredibly heavy and capable of shattering a skull with a single swing. It concealed a bayonet inside, intended for close combat.

This was the fundamental reason Charlot Mecklenburg dared to lie so boldly. To investigate an Imperial bureaucrat’s background required a thorough review of records. In the Fars Empire, where catalog indexing was not yet widespread, combing through records was a laborious task. No one could expose his lie on the spot.
Charlot also didn’t believe anyone would later bother sifting through the archives just to catch a “parasite” like him. Doing so would offend far too many people; ...

It is said that when the Pirate King's flag waved outside Minfoster, the largest port in the empire, one of the imperial navy's generals was so terrified that he wet his pants.
At the time, Minfoster Port had fewer than twenty warships docked for rest and maintenance, while the returning pirate fleet boasted over three hundred warships, their scale massive and their combat prowess formidable. They were capable of razing the empire's largest port in a single battle and, by marching swift...

Charlot Mecklenburg never imagined that he would be assigned to work at Kilmainham Prison, gain the appreciation of Miss Menielman, his senior, and even receive an unexpected promotion with a raise.
However, no matter how perfect the start, it could not alleviate the pressure deep within his heart.
The room gradually darkened. Charlot didn’t turn on any lights—there were no lights to turn on. Outside the window, the street was pitch-black with no streetlamps, a stark contrast to ...

Unmarried young ladies could only have their fingertips touched lightly by a gentleman’s forehead; married women, on the other hand, should receive a gentlemanly kiss on the back of the hand.
Charlot Mecklenburg had heard that this senior had once been engaged, but the engagement was annulled for reasons known to all. Now, still single, Charlot opted for a forehead touch to her fingertips—a gesture of refined courtesy befitting a gentleman.
Menielman lowered her voice and said...

Kilmainham Prison was located in the Marne District, separated from Val-de-Vas by two other districts.
The carriage moved at a leisurely pace. Charlot dozed lightly along the way until the driver’s cautious voice woke him. “Sir, we’ve arrived at Kilmainham Prison.”
Charlot stepped down from the carriage with a polite smile, bid the driver farewell, and hurried toward Kilmainham Prison. Handing his letter of introduction to the guard, he smiled and said, “This is an ident...

"If someone greets you, give them a warm hug. If it's a woman, compliment her appearance. If there's an unexpected situation, just laugh it off and say, 'What a lovely day it is today…'"
Charlot Mecklenburg kept repeating these mental affirmations to bolster his confidence, trying his best to remain calm and unhurried.
Roughly ten days ago, Charlot Mecklenburg was still Huang Haisheng—a high school math teacher born on Earth with a standard university education.
He had no i...

Day One After Transmigration!
Shocking!
Thankfully, I live alone. Hiding at home, I didn’t dare step outside.
Day Two After Transmigration!
Trembling with fear, I ventured out, cautiously trying to familiarize myself with the surroundings. I was careful not to speak to anyone.
Day Three After Transmigration!
I felt slightly less panicked today and even managed to eat a bit.
The food in this world is absolutely awf...
