Beat the shoulder of the person standing behind the soldier in alignment.

"What, what is it?

The soldier with the shoulder slapped is odd.

The soldier is either a plain young man with brown hair and black eyes, wearing a uniform that is supposed to be paid to all imperial soldiers. Sometimes he was aligned with other soldiers and he just looks like a soldier.

But he's a phony. I can say with certainty.

"If you honestly give me the ring you stole, I might be able to just get myself restrained now. So give me the ring that's stuck in your chest pocket."

"What do you mean to me..."

Look to your colleagues around you for help.

The soldier sought was also baffled. He confidently said he'd lead us all the way under the bandits. I'm suddenly nominating one of the soldiers.

"Can I have a minute?

The captain who was giving instructions to the soldiers is approaching.

"If I believe your point, are you telling me he's a thief?

"To be exact, he's the one who stole the ring."

Get the pendulum out of your nose and show it to the captain.

"This is a magical tool that will show you where you are looking. Now I'm looking for the stolen ring, and I'm pointing to him."

"Hmm."

Teach what is never unfounded.

The captain, convinced by what I'm trying to say, sees the soldier's face.

"Who are you...?

"Huh..."

I think everyone is a soldier if he was dressed as a soldier among a large number of soldiers.

But if I get my attention as a heretic, they'll recognize my face as' someone ', not a soldier.

Soldiers who were supposed to be colleagues surrounded by the captain's words also check the other person's face firmly.

- Who is it?

There was a similar confusion in their faces as in the captain.

"Yes, Captain! What are you talking about?

"I remember the faces of all the soldiers. But I've never seen your face."

"I don't have a choice. I'm one of the soldiers who ran from the neighboring city for backup because I was understaffed at the party."

"That's what I've been hearing, but we've all met."

There were no suspicious soldiers in front of them either.

"There were dozens of people from other cities as well as the city where I was running to support them. I can't help but remember the faces of everyone."

Good Lord, but a soldier who shook his head when he said so.

As far as he's concerned, he wants to cut the story off appropriately.

Nor did the captain remember the faces of everyone who rushed for backup.

But you can't admit that.

"Then why don't you let me do a physical exam?

"What?"

"It's very likely in me that you have a ring. If you're gonna tell me you're innocent, why don't you take a physical exam and prove your innocence?

"Not if you're doing that! Thieves are still fleeing the capital. We should be searching for the Imperial City now!

The words of the soldiers are good too.

The captain is also confused about what to do when he hears the truth. He wants to go to the Imperial City if he can go looking for it too.

"I'm sorry, but let me look around you"

"Captain!?

"If you're a proud Imperial soldier, you'd rather be investigated and proven innocent than left suspicious."

"Does the captain believe a guy like this who doesn't know who he is?

"Oh."

Not only are the soldiers suspected by the captain who affirms them, but the other soldiers who were watching the noise are also surprised.

I don't even look like a nobleman who was at a party if I just wanted to see how he dressed. I was undertaking security for the venue. They were at the party. Looking at us. I'm not a suspicious person because I'm an invitee in that sense.

But all of a sudden he called out to stay where he was about to go inside the Imperial Capital and called one of the soldiers into suspicion that he was the killer.

Definitely a suspicious person.

"They are adventurers invited by His Majesty the Emperor"

Invitation of the Emperor.

The upset spreads knowing who the other person has a handover with.

"From His Majesty the Emperor. He's an adventurer, so he's never been to a party. I'm told to meditate on my eyes if there's anything wrong."

Apparently, this case will be included in "Some Things".

He also convinced the soldier who was watching over his accomplishments.

But the suspected soldier is not convinced.

"No matter how much the captain says, I'm not convinced of this kind of treatment."

"Then what if it's my order?

One woman in a dress comes out of the castle.

The moment you see a woman, a soldier salutes her, including a captain other than a soldier who is under suspicion.

Soldiers who were suspicious are not women either, but see soldiers saluting at the same time before rushing to salute them.

It was Mr. Marie, the emperor's sideroom, who came out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm in the middle of a job. Please take it easy."

Soldier to untie salute.

"Now do you know who I am?

……

Soldiers under suspicion cannot answer anything.

I don't know who the woman in front of me is.

I know it's a woman in quite a position since the soldiers saluted her, but I don't know the details.

I'm not going to answer honestly.

"You named yourself a soldier who ran to backup earlier. Soldiers who rush for backup are naturally greeting the captain who keeps the soldiers. And that's when I was present."

It's not just a side chamber.

Marie, who also has excellent administrative skills, also helps with various tasks.

"Well, at least why don't you know who I am when you're supposed to be introducing yourself?

A soldier leaves after a step.

"Then I'm good at remembering people's faces. I won't forget who I met once, and I can tell you the names of everyone who's here. But I can't tell you your name I've never met."

Having lived as a con artist, she has struggled to make sure that there are no setups.

That's what helps us live the social world.

He gave up because he couldn't argue any more.

"Whoa, that's it."

"Fuck."

Ira, who circled behind the soldier, strangles him with wings.

Soldier exposed to defenseless breasts.

The ring came out of the inside when I was allowed to stick my hand in the inner pocket of the jacket the pendulum is showing.

It's definitely Mr. Garland's ring that was stolen.

"I see. I disguise myself as a soldier and sneak into a party venue. Raid in the dark, stealing out the ring while the target is passing out. Afterwards, he escapes the party venue with no food on his face while his buddy catches his attention by exposing himself to a burglar"

It could have been noticed if we had just escaped from the place where the commotion had occurred.

But if the person you think is the killer in front of you shows up, everyone steals the ring. The killer thinks it's you. Chase the thief. Besides, the real killer disguised as a soldier can escape the party venue in the name of chasing after the thief.

Once you know the truth, it's not a godforsaken skill or anything.

"I never thought they'd see through the disguise, but they'd see through the position of the ring and get caught."

Have you noticed or start confessing?

"That's right. I'm the one who attacked Count Ament and took the ring. I thought anyone dressed as a soldier had to choose the right person."

But that gaze doesn't seem to be the same as you seem to be moving and looking for something and giving up.

"And it's you. I'm confident in my memory, too, so I tried to remember people in party venues, but I don't remember you."

"I guess so. I was there and I wasn't there."

Mr. Marie has been taking the place of Mr. Cattleya for a long time.

I didn't even realize Marie was at the party because the soldier hadn't even informed me of the fact.

"But let me just correct one thing"

The sight of fellow thieves lingers.

At the end of that gaze was one of the real soldiers.

"What I did was not" disguise, "it was" transformation. "

The figure of a fellow thief who was strangled with wings disappears.

He's also escaping Ira's hand and is about to fall forward.

"It's underfoot!

Marie, who I noticed earlier disappearing, absurds her voice.

A little mouse was waving at the place where his fellow thieves stood.
