The sound of paper turning in the room of the inn sounds.

The morning after Avesta was attacked, we were checking the materials in the rented room.

"Apparently, no doubt about it."

"Yes."

What we're checking is information about the products and customers that Sendorf was dealing with.

Many adventurers had witnessed Sendorf changing into a ghost man. Besides, the adventurers were able to identify who they were just looking at because Avesta was also working extensively.

Sendorf is the leading mastermind in the present situation.

In this situation, the Merchant Alliance can no longer cooperate.

I was able to obtain permission to view the materials kept by the Merchant Guild, also with Paul's Mouthfeel, which served as a Lordship Agent, and temporarily borrowed them.

Thanks to you, I've figured it out.

Illis spreads the map around Avesta on the table. It is a map held in the Adventurer's Guild and clearly depicts the location of the village because it is a detailed map to the terrain of what demons appear around it.

Place red pawns in several villages.

"This is the village where the ghosts occurred."

An investigation had been conducted in the Adventurer's Guild, so we could know exactly what the damage was.

The information is accurate because testimony was obtained back from those who were even more ghostly.

"So, at least Sendolph is visiting all of this village"

No one would be suspicious if Sendorf was in business.

"A merchant originally from a Lejurus commercial country. After seeing the miracle performed by Tishua, the goddess, when she visited the Kingdom of Memphis around the time of her rush, she became blindly faithful. After the coup d 'état, business in the Kingdom of Memphis will be the focus of support."

There was nothing distrustful about doing less lucrative business because I was equally aware of it in the Merchant Guild.

But the truth is, the purpose was to visit many places without distrust.

"Sendorf used to open an outdoor shop and do business in this city as well. Not everyone who's changed into a ghost yet has had testimony, but more than half of them have had contact with Sendorf."

An unspecified number of people would come into contact if they were in business.

At that time, they did things that would turn into ghosts.

"Seems like I've heard from a lot of other people, but I'm under the impression that you're a casual person who's been personally available for consultation for a long time"

That's why I couldn't believe that Sendorf was taught to be the mastermind.

"The consultation details and advice to the consultation are fragmented. But there's only one thing in common."

"That's it, here..."

Sylvia drops her eyes on the material.

The material was well written down until what consultation was given and what advice was received.

- God has been forsaken. If you could have kept an eye on me now, things might have been different.

Apparently a lot of people were saved by that word.

Many who heard the word began to resent Tishua, the goddess, and the nobility who produced the result of expelling the 'witch'.

But some of them resented God himself for abandoning him.

"Those people that turned into ghosts"

Just a word of backup.

That alone makes me resent the existence that was the object of my quest for salvation.

"Nevertheless, in order to change into a ghost, it seems that there is no shortage of half-baked thoughts"

Enough hostility to harm others.

Fear that leads to death.

Jealous enough to plot a robbery.

By simultaneously delivering those thoughts to Tishua-like, a nucleus that can be called "filth” is formed.

"That's what makes ghosts born?

"It's just an inference now, though."

Melissa answers Ira, who doesn't seem to understand.

At the end of the day, we don't know the clear cause.

"If you knew for sure, you'd be Sendorf."

Only he came and went between ghosts and ordinary humans, keeping reason unlike Lauen, who had left hostility even when he became a ghost.

I don't know what's going on right now, but I'm likely to encounter it again.

"This is all you need to know about the cause of ghosts."

Future measures will be needed more than that.

"Thanks to the many people who were able to return to normal human beings, it was helpful to have someone who also remembered their memories while they were becoming ghosts"

The ghosts had no will of their own and were acting according to Sendorf's instructions.

I was wondering if some ghosts were being informed of what he was going to do from now on, but there were ghosts who were really being heard.

"I trusted him and told him, more of a willless ghost, so it feels like Pollo and his mouth slipped"

What I remember hearing was the son of a village chief who was destroyed by a boy.

I was listening to you whining about your upcoming plans. The ghost man at that time was completely under Sendolph's control. Even if she had been asked, she did not have to worry about the information being leaked, so she was alarmed that no measures would be taken.

"People in the kingdom of Memphis who expelled a large number of aristocrats and clerics, but they are nevertheless left to some extent to carry out minimal politics. And good nobles and clerics are still struggling."

What Melissa is saying is the current state of the Kingdom of Memphis.

Simply put, only good was left with evil eliminated. However, the incomplete administration lacked important know-how as a result of a shortage of staff and a lack of deep involvement in national politics.

The situation is causing local distress, leading to people's dissatisfaction.

It makes it easy to create ghosts.

"However, for Mr. Sendorf, it seems unforgivable that the rogue nobles have been eliminated and serious nobility has even been left behind"

I did nothing while in a position to inquire about injustice.

What was left after the people arose is synonymous with doing nothing as a nobleman.

It hasn't been completely purified yet.

"His destination is the King's Capital. The only reason we were making a scene in the province was to gather the strength to attack the King's capital."

It should have been easier to do the work because we didn't have the buzz... until we got here.

"Well, in that case the problem is…"

"My presence."

Even the city lords in the region knew Noel's face.

If you go to Wang Capital, which is the center, the majority of people should have Noel's face on them.

You shouldn't have taken Noel to a place like that.

"... you want to do something for yourself"

"Yeah, I'd like to go help if I could."

If that's Noel's will, I just have to respect it.

"We are certain we will find out when we take action in the King's Capital. So you don't have to think about anything to hide your identity. Although he was alive, he decided to rush to find out about the crisis in his hometown and let Mr. Noel live."

That would be the best we can do as things stand.

I don't know exactly what the enemy is going to do. Sometimes if you decide on details now, you can't move.

It will be ad hoc.

"Uh... sorry. Let this happen with all my strength."

"Never mind. It wasn't entirely unprofitable."

Toolboxes (item boxes) have lots of boxes filled with “dirt” in bulk.

The folks were all distracted by us moving flashy, and they weren't blind to cluttered fish demons like goblins and slimes. It wouldn't have been hard to recover if I had let them hold the container I summoned from the labyrinth.

He also keeps his slashed arms and legs.

I can [magic convert] it right now, but I'm in the middle of a commotion right now.

"I'm worried about usage, so [magic conversion] won't happen until I get home."
