"Why... Impossible......!

The lord slowly stood up holding his head down.

"It didn't look like I used magic. If anything happens, there's a stone... a stone?

When the lord sees the stones scattered at my feet, he does his gaze at me,

"You! What is that stone!! So how | destroyed the product (stone) of my abilities!!

You... right. I see nature. You're running out of room.

"I didn't break it with this stone."

"Hey..."

I picked up pieces of stone scattered all over the floor stuffed with my fingers and thumbs and stretched out that arm towards the lord.

"This stone is always twisted, and if one stone breaks, the other stone emits light. It's used for simple signals and stuff when you're on some kind of operation."

"Signal......? Are you telling me you have other people?

"Well, you know what?"

"Impossible! I was watching you and your daughter come to this city alone! There can't be any other people!!

I laughed small at the words,

"Not necessarily. What you were watching, you were using some kind of magic on the linear, right? So, you were doing a certain range of surveillance around the linear, right?

"... what's wrong with that"

I knew it. And after I snorted.

"So you don't know what I'm doing in the blind position of Linea, do you?

"... you noticed from the beginning...!?

"No, this just happened by chance. Anyway, I didn't even know if the people who helped me would come first. Don't even tell me to not make you expect Linea to be weird, but I've been doing something wrong with Linea since before I went into the city, so just in case, I kept it a secret after I went into the city."

The story goes back to the day we left King's Capital.

I left my linea once and went back to my home and wrote a letter to Fall.

In the letter, he wrote what he had heard from Linnea and, if possible, wanted someone familiar with such an area to come to Gale Street, and about the rendezvous, he wrote that he wanted to be near the Gate of Gale Street in the early morning, that is, three days later, the morning after he was due to arrive in Gale Street.

I was worried that Fall had received a letter on his way to Gale Street, and that he was coming, and that's what happened when he got to Gale Street.

The day after I spent the night in Gale Street, when I picked up the morning, I wore a robe and went out of Gale Street with anxiety.

Though I looked around for a while, I couldn't find a shadow like that.

"I knew it was too sudden to ask..."

I was so grumbled and dismayed, but the group coming this way caught my eye, and I thought maybe I'd head that way.

But the group was all dressed like civilians, and it didn't seem like they were the people Fall came by.

"No......"

Again, I was discouraged and dropped, but a group representative called out to me.

"Excuse me. I'd like to ask you one question: Are you the owner of the letter?

"... Huh?

Apparently, these people are the cooperative units Fall sent over.

Apparently it was to avoid being suspicious that I was dressed as a civilian, and I said thank you to them.

It was a total of five people who came to me who were familiar with mental contamination magic, with brainwashing magic, with hypnotic magic, and with two clerics who I believe headed to my village to investigate.

I wondered why he even came to the clergy, but he also seems to be good at feeling evil, and he can use his powers even in places like this. Cleric strong.

In the meantime, I informed him of the situation at the moment and decided to dissolve it once and for all.

Because if you're not wearing the amulet Linea gave you, you could go crazy.

So I went home once, and after I couldn't do it and got 10 amulets from Linea, I joined them again and gave them two amulets apiece, including a spare one.

Now I can finally investigate the whole city, and I went into the city hoping they might find the cause if they were there and started investigating.

As a result, what a light find of cause. The cause is a stone statue in the center of the city. Inside, they say there's something causing it.

I didn't expect to find the blanket so soon. It's not even half an hour.

At the moment it took the city square street in the first place,

"This is it."

It can't be anywhere but here.

"That's it."

"Found it"

"In the Stone Statue......"

and i'm really too scared that everyone identified with their mouths in unison. How do you know that?

Boulder Do you mean experts in this field......

Anyway, thanks to their cooperation, we found an immediate cause, but we ran into a second problem.

Destroy this statue now or not. Even if you break it now, if you break it without grasping the identity of the mastermind, the mastermind may escape, and that's why it's dangerous to leave it like this.

We discussed it for a while, but in the end we did not decide what to do, and that day it was dissolved.

But the day after that, when my lord wrote to me to allow me to see them, I immediately turned to them.

Then I told him that the lord was suspicious and that I would be able to see him around noon tomorrow. Then,

"Then, if the lord turns out to be the mastermind during the sight, we will destroy the stone statue and risk it, but how about you defeat the mastermind...?

Then there's no escape to the mastermind, and you can destroy the stone statue. But...

"It's okay that I defeat the mastermind, but if the lord turns out to be the mastermind, how can I tell you that?

When I heard that, they laughed nicely,

"This is the only time you need to use this"

That's what they gave me, the disposable stone I used for the operation.

"If the lord decides it's a mastermind, destroy this stone. That way, this twisted stone of ours will emit light and give us instructions to destroy the statue."

"… it's a convenient stone"

"Yeah, it's convenient. … but be careful when using it individually, as sometimes there is a mixture of" cushion stones "that do not react even when crushed very rarely"

Apparently, some individuals have been called terrible for a long time.

But this time I was able to pull a brilliant hit stone and pass the instructions on to them.

They did their part right, and I have to do mine too.

"... Al."

From behind, I heard Linnea. against Linnea looking at me with a crying look on her face, I smiled,

"Become? I told you to believe me.

"... Yes!

Linea answered with a smile, even as she wept.
