Deduction Message
Today, (I was/we were) invited to a book launch party (which) gathers Great Britain’s prominent figures.
The glamorous party, is being held in a strange mansion referred to as “Ijinkan.”Western style residences built mostly for early
foreign settlers during the end of the Shogunate
and the Meiji era.
The party’s invited guests, men and women of all ages being mixed, there seems to be no common feature, but…
Whether for this mansion, or for the party, it seems like extreme (amounts of) money have been spent.
In the party, some large-scale event has been prepared, I heard.
Investigation Notes
We were invited today to a book launch party which gathers many prominent figures from Great Britain.
This glamorous party is taking place in a strange mansion whose architecture is inspired from the XIXth century’s style.
The party’s guests comprise men and women of all ages. They seem to have nothing in common, and yet…
It seems like a tremendous amount of money has been spent, both for this mansion and the party.
I heard that some kind of large-scale event has been planned for this party.

うわー、 Uwah, Woah,
those armours are very stylish too. | ||
これは This is a tapestry. This is a tapestry.
| ||

This mansion is quite reminiscent of a museum. | ||
おいしそうな料理が並んでいますね。 Tasty-looking cuisine is lining up. After all, it’s a party (which) gathers prominent figures from all across the UK. The food here smells so good…
I suppose it’s not too surprising since all the guests are celebrities. | ||

Why don’t you help yourself to some of these, Luke? | ||
そうですね、いただきます！ That’s so, thank you (for the meal just served)! Uwaah, (I) hesitate which food I should start with. Well, you don’t have to say it twice!

a new book. If you came anyway, you two must be quite dedicated. | |
あなたはファンじゃないんですか？ Aren’t you a fan? Are you not a fan of
Mr Murdoch’s novels? | ||
| 彼に招かれたから来たまでだ。 Just because he invited (me) I came. This kind of novelist’s amusement, as for a businessman it’s a waste of time though. I only came because he invited me.
For a businessman like me, this kind of party is a complete waste of time. | |
では失礼。 So goodbye. Now, if you’ll excuse me.
| ||
Rigel leaves. | ||
| パーティーが嫌いなら If (he) dislikes parties, why (he) came (I) wonder? I wonder why he bothered coming
if he dislikes parties so much. | |
リゲルさんはこのパーティーが About Rigel-san, this party doesn’t seem to suit his fancy. Perhaps it is this party specifically
that Mr Astrado isn’t enjoying… |

Is there a different reason why The glamorous party is held in a strange mansion referred to as “XIXth century style.” The guests invited to the party are a mixture of men and women, young and old, and seem to have nothing in common… Even for a party held in this mansion, it seems that a lot of money was spent. I heard that they have prepared some big event for the party. |
