Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

"It was a murder in a small rural area of southern America in the early 1900s."

Looking up at the dancing particles of light.

A meadow stained dull by winter.As he narrowed his eyes to the cool breeze blowing through, his brother spoke quietly.

"It's a small settlement that doesn't even appear on the map, with a population of just under seventy people.There was no police in the village, and the sheriff ran over from the neighboring city.The victim was shot in the head by an old farmer, a hunting gun.He was notorious for being hated in the village.It was obvious that it was another murder, and it was also obvious that the killer was in the village. "

"Yes, it is."

As she leaves her back in the chair set outside the cabin, the girl Moonflower hits her gavel to encourage her to move forward.

"Who was it?"

A small village with a population of less than 100.If the murder weapon was a hunting gun, we would have found all kinds of physical evidence soon.

The case should have been solved quickly.

However,

"The murderer has never been revealed, and the case is now a labyrinth."

"Yeah? Why?"

When asked, his brother turned his eyebrows into eight characters.

"I'm in the labyrinth.No one knows the truth.That's what you'll see when you search with your [power]. [M]... just... "

"Just?"

"As I said earlier, the victim's man was a hater.Anyway, they were buying grudges from a lot of people in the village.... one of the sheriffs who was working there made a hypothesis. "

"Hypothesis..."

"Yeah.... what if the villagers colluded to cover up the facts?"



Suppose they were sheltering the killer, testifying about an alibi that didn't exist, and keeping suspicion out of sight.

Suppose you set it up deliberately to prevent the investigation from proceeding.

"There's no such horrible story. I don't even know if the hypothesis is correct anymore.A man was wiped out by the village community.I'm not talking about maybe... "

A sighing brother looked at the dull sky with a troublesome expression.

"It can be said that the current guardians are also placed under extremely close circumstances.The state of Badalnois itself is regarded as an existence to be erased and tailored to sinners.What do you think? Did you see anything with your help? "

In response to the inquiry, Moonflower shook his neck weakly.

"... it's not as if I could see it."

Something bothering you?

"... Bergrette's 'sadness'. I feel a little regretful about the results.... besides, this girl... "

"What's wrong?"

"... yeah... I thought you were a smart kid... but you're not half as smart. So....."

"Ah, isn't that amazing? I'd like to measure her IQ once."

"............ yeah......"

I'm not sure. You should not say anything useless.

However, at the moment, there is a definite future.

(... Granshua... I mean, it's only certain that Kinzel won't end here)

”-This is how the Kingdom of Raindeal, by the hand of a man who calls himself Granshire-”

More than a glimpse, it's a confirmed future event.

"... all we can do now is pray for their good health.Well, that's a different story. "

Brilliant.

Located deep in the mountains, the place is now surrounded by pale spheres of light that dazzle the surroundings.Even though it was daytime, unnatural brightness illuminated the world.

"Seriously, we need to think about our next move."In any case, this place... "

Sadly, my brother speaks.

"It won't be long before it becomes what they call the 'original bamboo'."

The merchant Osib had been engaged in this work for twenty years.It is a mastery during mastery.

However, the human outlook can sometimes come off.

― ― The God Empire of Badarnois is at the border gate that leads to the South and the Neutral Zone.

"I can't get through!? Hey, what's going on!"

Osib shouted at the silver armored soldier who stood in front of the closed gate at the top of the opening.

"Nothing like this. They must have touched it."

A giant soldier returns a sharp glance without moving.

"Ugh...."

With this reaction, the experienced Oshib understood.Even if the soldier is the opponent, the young lady can push it out.But I can't do this kind of matchmaking.

I haven't crossed the outside world as a merchant for a long time.

I am confident in judging whether or not it is a negotiable partner and whether or not it is possible to break through with force.This time no.

Try not to change yourself. They don't pay bribes, and if they do a bad imitation, they could be slaughtered.These dealings will only work if an order is given by the Lord who believes.

"Ah, if you touch it, I'll pinch it in my ear.But are you serious? Such contents..... "

"Of course."

"But... as you can see, I'm a peddler.I don't like eating stalls. "

"I've already told you that. Any losses incurred during this period will be carefully summarized and charged to the Royal Palace later.If deemed legitimate, compensation will be paid. "

"Ah, I'll tell you that..."

"Do you have a serious family back home?"

"Hahn? I don't want to. Kakaa and the kids are all pinned down."

"Above all else. So if you're not in the dark business behind it, is there a problem?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Thank you for your understanding.I'm sorry, but I hope you'll cooperate for a while. "

This is what I mean when I say that Tsubaki won't move.It's too sticky to be pulled out with a sword.

"Damn it, it's probably too long to be 'a while'...!"

With malice, Osib returned to the bottom of the wagon that had been parked.

What do you think?

While stroking two Aima horses kicking snow with their front legs in a leisurely fashion, they look to the far south sky, where the journey will never come true.

(God damn it!)

Travelling to and from Badarnois in winter can be difficult, but if you can purchase items specific to the time, you will be able to spend more time there.

I bought it cheaply with a good bitch, and then I went back and sold it at a high price, but if I was scrutinized by a tough royal palace, I would definitely make less money than I expected first.I'm not a criminal or a fraud, but if officials know, they might complain.

Somehow, someone's prank, a brand-new blanket bought from Rain Deal, was dirty and I was beaten up with a complaint.I checked it out, but there were signs of someone breaking into the cargo bay, even though it wasn't stolen.

Therefore, I wanted to recover the damage.

(That's why I wanted to leave early...)

I can't help it.I guess I'll just have to make sure I don't get into a deficit.I must stay in this Badar Noisy for another month, as I have touched it.

(Come on, what's going on? This country)

That was the other day.

Suddenly, a ban on leaving Badarnois was promulgated.

The period is one month. In case of financial damage due to not being able to go out, a claim can be made to the Royal Palace after due process.

Five young people have been newly designated as criminals and measures have been taken to prevent them from fleeing the country.

In spite of all this, it is a powerful tactic of moderate rulers and the famous Omzolf.

As a matter of fact, if you are not a citizen of this country, you are not obliged to obey the exit ban honestly.The royal palace people don't notice the best when they sneak out.If this is summer, there is a gap.But at a time when everything is closed by ice and snow, there is no other way but to get in and out of the gate foolishly and honestly.We will not be forced to proceed from the snow fields around here, but we will almost certainly be in distress, and thus frozen to death.

Located in Badalnois, the White Peak Tianshan Briquel Peak stretches to the north and the Dunbird Sea stretches to the west, with access to other countries only to the east and south.

You can think of nothing else as long as the gate that manages it is closed.This is the south, but the east must have been sealed off as well.

(Anyway... what is it?)

There's something I've been worried about ever since I got here.

Huge closed border gates.Two pillars rising on either side of it.Is the height around ten meters?If you're an adult, it's about the thickness you can hold with your arms twisted.Lower than the surrounding walls, at first glance it's just an iron pole with no creeps.

(I don't think it happened when I entered the country......)

That means I've been doing my best to get up here lately.In this cold weather, in the snow, I went out of my way.

(A monument to be built...? Well, hey)

Well, it doesn't matter.

I sighed and looked aside, and noticed a bulletin board standing by the roadside.There is a thin snow-covered area with the same letter of arrangement that I saw at the inn.

(Hmm... I knew this girl was somewhere...)

Osib remembered that one of them had a sense of vision.

It's a beautiful girl who wakes up if there's no mistake in the painting.The name Bergrette Fiz Gartilloude must not sound familiar anywhere.

(Whatever.)

But if the goal is not to let the sinners escape, I want them to pass as much as people who know it's irrelevant.

(...... Haha, even if you're boy, you're not going to make it back.)

There's only one Osivu coming to this southern border gate right now.

In the first place, few people enter or leave Badalnois in the winter.Adventurers and mercenaries who are already staying will be even more fascinated by the bounty, and it won't be a problem if they don't get out for about a month.In the first place, if the bounty head is caught, the exit ban will be lifted.

"I don't care who it is, so please solve it quickly"

Cross the podium and turn back the path that led the horse.

If I could go back south like this, I would have made enough money for one bounty head.But I'm not stubborn.

Well, flexible thinking, which can be switched to this kind of thing, was also one of the characteristics of a skilled merchant ossib.
