I Favor the Villainess

"I've confirmed the ink on the Spirit Church, Ga., that's all I don't think the eagles will cooperate, Dace."

Frieda, who responded to the discussion for the first time, but she showed difficulty forming a cooperative relationship.

"Why not? Wouldn't there be more to you than the reconstruction of your country?

Filine posed a simple question.

That was a question that ignored their emotions too much.

Frieda silenced Filine with an invisible smile.

"Is it the Empire that destroyed my country in the first place, Desyo? I'm going to rebuild it, so working together is a big deal, sir?

"... my perception was wrong. I apologize."

Frieda is right about this.

It's nothing but a match pump to destroy it and allow it to rebuild.

"What is it, E, if you can open up the status quo and reach the grief of rebuilding your country, close your eyes to some things, Mass"

…… So... "

"Stop. The story is still over, Sen."

Frieda took control of the Philinee.

"Kotoha that you know the real name of the eagle, it's good that you also know about the eagle's position, Deska?

"Yep. Friedelinde-ur-Mérica. You're the Supreme Leader of the Old Religious Nation of America, the god of the present, aren't you?

"And now the United States is forming anti-government forces in association with Kiko and Dhana"

Using prior knowledge, Master Claire and I responded.

We have already explained that America is a faction of the Spirit Church, but what is different from the Cathedral, which is the mainstream, is where we worship one human being as the present god as the incarnation of the Spirit God.

And Frieda is the present god, the man.

"Where did you really hear that, Yara... Well, you're right, Dace. The eagle is the leader of the American alliance. If you're talking about eagles, the people will mostly listen to you, Deshaw."

"Then..."

"But the eagle's voice extends to the American people, Dace. Now the three sects are in a crisis of disintegration from a certain problem, Mars."

"The crisis of disintegration?

This is a development that wasn't in the original.

Although the alliance of the three sects had some troubles in Levolili, it should have come together as a single force without any problems.

Is this, then, the contents of some trouble?

"One of the believers in America was killed the other day, Masita. The killer has been found, Masen. If that's all, it could be a case unrelated to the alliance, and Mashitaga, it was a very important figure for America that was killed."

"So?"

As Lady Claire urged ahead, Frieda continued.

"The killer doesn't often think that America will be at the head of the alliance, it could be someone from two other countries, Mass. Of course, Kiko and Dana both deny it, but they should be able to pepper it, Masen."

"What do you want us to do?

I couldn't see where the story landed and I asked.

"Look for whoever killed the faithful, Kudasai. If that solves the misunderstanding, that's it, Yoshi. The Alliance will regain its alliance, and Kiko and Dana will cooperate if we can resolve the troika."

"Hey, wait a minute! Assuming the killer is a Kiko or Dana person, either way, a crack in the alliance could be lethal."

Master Lily is right.

Investigating and locating the killer doesn't always mean we can help.

"All you have to do then is give up on your bad luck, Masain."

"Oh no..."

"In any case, if it stays this way, the alliance of the three sects will be broken and mass. And you're in trouble, too, Deshaw? You can't, you're the original and you have to work hard, Deja?

I can't imagine from my usual light condition, but there is still a presence that unites a country.

Frieda's negotiations were skilful.

"Saa, what's up, Masuka?

Frieda asks.

"... ok. I'll undertake an investigation."

It was Filine who answered.

"But Dear Philine..."

"Either way, it's a problem that we can't leave alone. This is a homicide that took place within the Empire, regardless of whether or not the Friedas get their help. You can't ignore it."

That was a word that came out of a sense of responsibility as one who would be brought into the Imperial Chamber.

Even as she acts under the great purpose of changing the way the Empire works, she doesn't ignore the problems that lie beneath her feet either.

I thought that way was very beautiful.

Huh, it's not an affair!

"Ho? You think you have pity on the Empire to bow?

"Those who were killed lost their country because of an act of aggression by the Empire. Even if he was stripping his fangs against the Empire, I think it's only natural that he should be held responsible for his life and death."

……

To Filine's words, Frieda looked complicated.

He looked like that, like he was impressed, like he didn't want to admit it.

"Do you have any leads on doing the investigation?

I asked Frieda.

If it's a simple case where the killer will soon find out, Frieda and the others will have solved it.

Perhaps the case was not an easy one.

Then at least I want a clue.

"First, the victim is Arnault-Jansen. Imperial General Citizen Decita. Former American national, working as a merchant and Imacita"

Age is twenty-one.

He had the face of a table called a Competent Merchant, while he was a supply raiser for anti-government forces behind him.

The cause of death is stabbing by a knife.

"The suspects have been narrowed down to three, Mars. I haven't had direct contact with them yet, but it's this threesome day that seems motivated."

Frieda took the paper out of her desk drawer.

Perhaps it's investigative material.

"The first is Ahim-Balzer. Luxury Death, one of the most powerful in the Empire City"

Ahim, who will be sixty this year, apparently was Arnault's boss.

Ahim has one son who is seen as a trail, but Arnault seems to be too good to be told Arnault is more of a trail for the Chamber of Commerce than his son.

"The second is Ilsa-Grellman. Empire Clerk Death"

Irza is twenty-five years old.

He worked clerically at the Imperial City bureau, and he had work problems with Arnault before.

"The third person is Death, a person you both know well. Anna-Gessner. Student Death at the Academy"

"Anna is the suspect!?

Filine raised her voice of agitation.

Anna is one of Philine's few friends and has previously asked her how fond she is of Philine's offensive targets.

Anna says the victim was in a relationship between a man and a woman.

Recently, the farewell seemed to be lifting, and I have been witnessed arguing.

"This is how much information we can provide from eagles, Dace. We'll all look into it later, Kudasai."

"I understand."

"There's something else I'd like to ask you, Masuka?

In response to Frieda's query, I decided to ask him only one thing that had bothered me since gameplay.

"Frieda is the most important person for the god of the living, or the United States, right?

"Yes, Desne."

"Is it okay for someone like that to live alone in a place like this without even putting on an escort?

Normally, I would call myself one, two, or a cohabitant and put a guard there.

Well, we all pushed it this way because we knew it wasn't there.

"Oh, about that, Desca. Well...... eagles are strong descalators"

"Surely Frieda's White Soldier fighting power is a big deal. But I'm still careless."

"... I want to say, Masen. That story ends here, Dace."

There was something wrong with Frieda.

Because I couldn't seem to afford it any more than I did when I was swinging my dagger.

I'm curious, but you're not going to tell me anything more.

"Deja, good luck finding the killer, sir."

With the thought of pulling our hair behind us, we left the Frieda Mansion behind.
