At the Northern Fort

Mastermind (3)

"Shinny-san!

"Cromwell!?"

Me and Captain Sarrell shouted at the same time. Mr. Nildo immediately steps away from the door and stands with the other four to shelter Captain Sarrell.

But they're all upset with their eyes open to surprise.

"Have you finished your wickedness?

Mr Branch Leader said quietly.

There was no appearance of happiness in getting to the mastermind, rather it seemed that Captain Sarrell was sorry to be here.

"What does mastery mean?

To Captain Sarrell, who puts his jaw up to be prestigious, the chief of the branch did not put his emotions on the table and returned them calmly.

"You want to kick me down, Captain Sarrell"

"... wanting to kick it off, etc., is bad listening. You must have just fallen because you made the mistake of being grabbed by the Spirit."

"I didn't get caught"

It was the captain with the scary face who broke in there.

The captain also seems to regret the presence of Captain Sarrell here and the fact that all the blackened men were knights.

Behind Mr. Branch Leader and Mr. Branch Leader, Teena refrains, but there is no sign of the Ship-Eyed Knight and Kicks.

"The Son of the Spirit followed these five men by himself. It's a shame I expected the black men to be knights."

When the captain stared at him, Mr. Wance and the five of them shriveled and stepped back.

"Pfft...?

"A trap?

The five muttered orally, but seemingly did not find it incredible. Because there was a part of me and Kugarg that didn't really let me walk through the city alone, or I'm biting my back teeth when I hear the word ''.

In that context, Mr Jörg rebutted:

"Captain, I don't know what you're mistaken for, but it's of course separate from those blackened men and us. We let them escape, but the Spirit Sons were able to protect them safely. That's all."

"But the three of you can wear your clothes from your dresses. I've been watching."

"Me too."

There's still evidence in the back room.

When Kgarg and I put it in turn, Mr. Jörg looked at me like a ghost.

I'm sorry.

But I can't get through any more excuses.

Me and Kugarg were watching it all, and I was listening.

"Ha ha... the young spirits seem to make a lot of mistakes too. You must be confused by the horror of being kidnapped by black men."

Mr Wance said, out of words, that we could not trust our words.

But at that time, it was Heililith who pinched the word from behind.

"So how's my testimony? Not trustworthy?

At some point Heililith was standing on the fireplace behind this room, back in colourful body tone.

When did you come inside?

Captain Sarrell and his sub-captains, who were facing each other near the door, also turned their gaze toward Heililith.

"... Spirit of the Wind? Why are you here?"

Captain Sarrell wrinkled between his eyebrows as he doubted my eyes.

Haililith makes me try to wink lightly.

"It's been a while, Sarrell! I'm so sad you planned the kidnapping of the Spirit."

Mr. Wance also says in confusion.

"Spirit of the Wind......? How could the Spirit of the Wind..."

"Isn't it strange that you helped a pretty spiritual junior? I've been following you guys the whole time, so you can tell right away if you're lying. You should admit your sins."

Mr. Branch Leader opened his mouth waiting for Haililith to finish.

"We still have witnesses. These are the five men you hired for money. They're capturing us because they've attacked us trying to leave the city of Chedas. Though they hid half their faces, they see the faces of the blackened men up close, and they hear their voices. If I bring him here to meet you, you'll realize he's got the same face, the same voice. That's where Grail and Kicks are taking those five now. In the meantime, they'll come this way. You guys keep hanging up on me till then?

The five of them pulled their lips together and shut up. I guess it's because I can't say anything back.

It was Captain Sarrell who raised his voice to confusion in that.

"Wait a minute, Cromwell. What are you talking about? My good men kidnapped the child of the Spirit? I mean, are you trying to tell me this is a subordinate thing? What a fool..."

Mr. Branch Leader lifted a single eyebrow.

"... how can you be so upset? Aren't you the mastermind in this case?

"I'm the mastermind!? It's a misunderstanding! I don't know why."

"But..."

"Cromwell! So you're trying to fall for me!? Because you heard I was after your cauldron!?"

"No, sir."

Whenever the excited captain Sarrell and the calming captain of the support alternated, I turned to you in turn, too.

I thought Captain Sarrell was pretending he didn't know to escape sin by himself alone, but isn't it the same when he sees this confusion?

Mr Branch Leader is also a little confused.

"But without the permission of Captain Sarrell, the superior officer, these five men who belong to the Knights cannot even leave the King's Capital"

"Let me organize the story. I did allow these five to leave the king's capital. But that's to get Cromwell and the captain to pick him up."

Captain Sarrell said as he fixed his uneven glasses.

"Take us? Why would you give such instructions?

"Why?

So when he intensified his discourse, Captain Sarrell stared sharply at the captain.

"There's this big drinking regiment leader! Drink and walk with the excuse that it's probably an inspection in all the cities you go through! Because I expected you wouldn't be able to come back even though you said you were accumulating work! If you have four days, you can go and come back. You have five or six days to go."

Captain Sarrell glanced at me and the captain turned in a cold sweat direction. If it wasn't for me or Kugarg with me, maybe he was really going to drink and walk.

"I see, so"

Listening to the conversation between Captain Branch and Captain Sarrell, the captain shrugged his big body down and blurted, "You should have taken a breath once in a while......"

"And today, we're ahead of schedule. Two people, Jörg and Gordon, ran into my office. The child of the Spirit that Cromwell and the others were carrying has been abducted. But here's what I keep reporting. Five of us tracked down the killer instead of the Cromwells and said he had safely recaptured the Son of the Spirit. And this is where I was led."

One arm wide apart, Captain Sarrell explained.

"Although the killer let him go, isn't this the Azito of that killer? Wasn't the Spirit child imprisoned here?

Captain Sarrell was asking the chief of the branch, but the chief of the branch silently refers to the five Wangs with his gaze.

Captain Sarrell followed that gaze and turned to his own men.

"What's going on, you guys? I consider you all very good men. There's no way you guys could do such a stupid thing. Wouldn't you? If you deny it, I'll do everything in my power to protect you. Hey, please..."

Deny it, Captain Sarrell's eyes said.

But the five of them just shut up and nag.

Seeing Captain Sarrell's trembling fist, I thought he really didn't know anything.

I'm not involved in any of the kidnappings you made up. Everything these five did on their own.

I was just wondering if giving Heililith information about me and Kugarg was also a little bit of an action by the wise Captain Sarrell after calculating everything, but that seemed like a misunderstanding, too. It's really just a coincidence that Heililith has been involved.

We wanted to catch the mastermind in this case, but there was no such thing as a mastermind anywhere in the first place.

"You guys..."

Captain Sarrell pressed me against Mr. Branch Leader and suddenly yelled and scattered, stuffed by five people who said nothing.

"What have you done to me! What the hell are you doing? Now my ratings will fall to the ground! It's all your fault!
