New seven heroes.

Within that time, Ligal died and Twa was captured for killing him.

Quinn is a super difficult labyrinth offense.

Parfait enters the battlefield.

I was contacted immediately and only Lucius and Elfi were able to rendezvous relatively quickly.

The two of them got a call from Yusuke. No or no, they came back.

And when I was about to hang out at night, the three of them were at Elphi's clinic.

After Twa had been taken, Yusuke regained his calm by taking the time he could say it was many times faster than a regular person, but longer for him.

It's a plus that I contacted you first.

If Kosuke is right, there is a possibility of danger to those close to the boy himself.

That's why I asked Plus if he could pick up Econa.

I also sent a message to Shiro to stay at the tavern today.

The majority of the guests in the tavern are visitors, and there are masters. I would put my faith in it more than I would in military police protection.

Then I contacted Lucius and Elfi and to this day...

Yusuke and Elfi sat back in their chairs, but Lucius stood with his back on the wall.

"............ I understand the story. So, Cro. Ligal's body..."

"I was driven away for survivor priority or something. He had a lot of wives."

Phew, my head is wrapped in something soft.

Elfi hugged me.

"You look terrible, you.... It's okay, you guys can help."

Yusuke enjoys crying again and turns her hand around her back.

"... thanks, Elfi"

Of course, I'm here to help.

"Lucius too, thank you"

A little later, Kosuke takes his hand off her.

"I'm calm now, Elfi."

"Oh, I was just hugging you because Atashi wants to hug you?

"... I shall apprentice you and try to be as normal as possible"

Say, force me to peel her off.

She sat deliberately with a glossy voice such as "Yan......"

"Lucius, I need to ask you something"

"Yes."

"It is understandable that D'Artra will make a leap towards catching the bad guy who killed Ligal. I can also understand catching a suspect who looks like a suspect if it's just Twa. But what's this speed? I knew Daltra was working fast originally. But this is an anomaly, no matter how much."

Lucius looked difficult, but answered without putting aside time to do so.

"... there are multiple possible reasons. First of all, the aspect of care for the people and soldiers. Ligal was the oldest of the seven heroes and had thick letters from the royal family and the military. That means that his name and merit are widespread to his subjects as well. In other words, he is like a living legend, but he has a different thickness of that legend than we do. If that were to have been assassinated, the impact would be immeasurable. I can't even hide it. His death will cause many of his subjects to think briefly that they will not lose the war. That's all he was doing as a hero. Briefly, Daltra wants to catch the killer and punish him as quickly as possible."

That's it, I get it.

When a case has happened, what needs to be done is to deal with it and resolve it.

Fixing things up and containing the harm done since capturing the culprit.

"But is it a smart choice to use Twa for that killer role? Ligal died as a victim, but this would expose Lyke followed by the heroic endless. Trust in domestic heroes will shake."

"Yeah, if it's normal time. But there is a way to avoid it. Crowe, you should be aware."

Yusuke thinks and realizes for a few seconds when told.

I hold my fist so much that my bones will crush it, I mouth it to spit it out.

"... It's a time of war now. So if we announce that Twa himself was an assassin of Arksbaona, we can stir up public opinion into anti-Arksbaona. Of course, there will still be a bashing for recognizing the enemy assassin as a hero, but it can also be described as an execution with the implication of dealing with it.... That's not all."

"Yep, the legendary" Black Hero "executes the national bandit who killed the" Hero of the Thunder, "and swallows it further by its" Swallow, "thus lowering the subordination and improving the morale of the soldiers. As the myth goes," Black Hero "swallows the power of his enemies and makes an appeal to use it for his people."

It was a story that made my chest sick.

But I can't deny it without a headache.

For example, people all over the world suffer from death.

That's where God shows up and says:

Sacrificing one particular person will save all mankind.

Is it evil then that humans all over the world wish for the death of one of them?

Kosuke, I don't think so.

Extreme stories, when you hang two and one on a scale, I think it's good to take two.

If you mean losing both by not choosing, then a person who can't choose doesn't have to be evil to be good.

When you carry the fate of your country, you must not be the only coward who has no choice.

If you can calculate the least amount of damage in terms of national interest, whether it is an act classified as good or bad or incapable of measuring, and yet you also deal with it, it should be judged necessary.

I don't care how uncomfortable Yusuke is.

If that decision is to support the country.

"... but you're going to miss the real killer. I don't even know what he's up to. If the killer's purpose is not to kill Ligal, but to kill a hero, we'll make another move after we kill Twa."

And that was well thought out.

In this case, it is designed to kill Ligal and make Twa suspicious.

If it was an offense from above that I even read Daltra's judgment, the killer would hide himself until Twa was executed.

Because you can let a second hero die without fighting.

"Yep. That's why we're back. Quinn strength is out of standard. You won't have to worry. There are always many pseudo-heroes near Parfait. I was wondering if even the owner of a status that could kill as many people as Ligal could cheaply get close. If the assassination of a hero is the goal, I or Elfi will be the next target. It's just, like Crowe just said, there's still time before it starts."

If Twa moves out before she's executed, she's going to prove her innocence.

So even if the real killer is trying to kill a hero, he should keep lurking until five days later.

"My orders to Elfi and I have also been revoked. I was wondering if I would take over the peace with Gibborne that Rigal was in charge of. … Anyway, finding the real killer within five days will lead to saving Twa"

That will be the only way.

"Well, it doesn't necessarily mean the killer's still in Wang Du, does it?

Elfi pinched his mouth.

"'Cause you are, aren't you? I also think Atashi is really more likely to be an Arksbaona assassin, but maybe he just wants to finally kill the traitor Ligal? If so, it feels like I'm lucky that Twa pushed me into that sin, and I don't think it's weird to go back to the country anymore."

Especially that question.

But Kosuke denies it.

"No, that's not it. Think about it, Elfi. If you were an Arksbaona assassin who could have killed Ligal, would you have left that body in the country where the Black Hero is?

Elfi glances, then laughs convincingly.

"Nah I see. So this is what this is all about, huh? This is an assassination plotted by someone who wants Crowe to prey on Ligal and Twa. Whoever did this is definitely out of his mind."

Her laughter was trembling.

Even her curious, I guess, is because it's a place she deems creepy.

That's right.

This case is not, for example, a crime committed by an Arksbaona assassin.

Too perfectly crafted to turn charges against Twa.

That's why Kosuke understands.

"It's hard to believe that the Arksbaona assassins broke into the King's Capital, which had not been attacked in a long time, to exceed the highest level of security. Ignoring that, it's odd you didn't recover Ligal's body. A crime that can only be committed by an insider, someone with the power to kill Ligal, even if he was drunk, and wearing a red costume. Find it."

"... that's eighty-nine twas. At least that's what I think, except for the Atasis."

"Does Crowe know who the killer is?

"Oh, this is a noble crime. If you're not an outside intruder, that's the only way. Yeah, I told you earlier, but I don't even know if you were really wearing a red costume. Maybe he made me testify of a lie. In that case, that would mean an influential house."

"...... but what benefit did the nobility find in making Cro stronger"

Yusuke laughs.

"Now I have the power in me for eight people, including Lyke. In doing so," Dawn "was made entirely. He ate himself. 'Black' is developing, but it's mine. If the bodies of Ligal and Twa are also to be preyed upon, 'Thunder' and 'Flame' will also be fully obtained. Benefits of the House of Lords? It's easy.

I want a child with me.

If you're weak, nobles today, you can acquire talent acquired, and I'm sure I want a stallion.

According to them, the act of killing a hero other than me is nothing more than enhancing the talent of a child born. "

Lucius and Elfi stop.

Yusuke had been attacked by a comatose exaltation.

Ligal, I'll find your vengeance.

Twa, I will definitely try to help you.

"The enemy is inside. Thank God."

I'll make you regret it.

Not only the deed, but even the fact that it was raw in this world.
