In a Different World with a Smartphone

The meeting was suspended and I asked Chancellor Shubain not to let anyone out of the castle.

There is no sign of a dispute in the room. As far as Nanquan Hou, who is dead from swallowing hot water and spitting blood rolling on the floor, the line of poisoning is thick.

"[Search: Toxic]"

The reaction of the poison is sensed from the liquid stained in the carpet by [SEARCH]. I knew it.

On the table was a basin, and on it was a water drain of sudden sushi and setou objects with hot water.

"Who's got this tea?

"It seems that the Chancellor made it available to all the rooms before we entered the meeting. They didn't lock it until after the meeting, so I think anyone could have gotten into this room during the meeting."

King Ferzen answers that. So, was it possible for anyone to commit the crime? It is not possible for the person who was present at the meeting, but it is possible that his subordinate executed it. Of course I could have made the Chancellor prepare this tea.

By the way, the soldiers at the guard were looking right in front of this room after the meeting was interrupted.

You were in front of the door and you didn't hear the sound of a fall in the room? I thought, there was also an example dragon in the ceiling of this room. You didn't hear it because of me.

Let's get Flora from The Alchemy Building to analyze the remaining tea later. I might be able to get some clues about what poison it is.

"But why would Nanquan Hou have to be killed? Excuse me for saying this, but I can still tell from the Chancellor's Palace and the King's Brother's Palace..."

King Ferzen twists his neck. Sure. Is that a threat? This is what happens when you turn to your teeth, like.

"Oh, you know, that's it..."

Um, the waitress, who was reluctantly in the hallway, called out to us who was roaring.

"Actually, this room was supposed to be used by the Chancellor."

"What?

"The Chancellor prepared a large room for Nanquan Hou over there facing south, but Nanquan Hou asked me to change it to Chancellor because the room over here is smaller and calmer..."

A female wage points to the door of the room across the hallway and on the other side.

Sure, this room is facing north, and the sun doesn't plug in much. Have you prepared a south-facing room for your guests, Hou Nanquan and Hou Donghai, and a north-facing room for yourself?

"Does that mean... if it's true, the Chancellor could have died?

People freeze around in the eight words.

I aimed to poison the Chancellor, but Nanquan Hou asked me to change the room, so he sacrificed instead... Is it more natural to think so? If there's no reason for Nanquan Hou to personally target me, though.

From the Wang Brotherhood, all humans on the Chancellor's side are enemies, and it's not strange that Nanquan Hou is targeted. But in this situation, don't go after the Chancellor, normal.

The room is about eight tatami in size with a desk and sofa, a large closet and a window on the north side. Next to the door was a bell string down calling for a servant.

I'll try to open the closet but nothing's in it. Well, this place is like a playhouse or a break room.

I thought maybe I could revive Hou Nanquan with the [Lisa collection] of light attributes now called resuscitation magic.

The [Lisa Collection] is an extreme magic that requires immense magic and vitality, within an hour of death, yet no damage to the body.

Because the caller is quite likely to die as well, they are almost never used unless they are flesh parents, or lovers, etc.

Those who apply it also have to be high level surgeons enough to use extreme magic, and worst of all, it means they both die. For that reason, they have no record that they have only come back to life as much as they count in history. You think you'll cut your chances of success by 20%?

I thought I might be able to use it without risk, but according to Sister Hana Love's story, in my case, magic is still good, but unless I give it too much vitality and I'm not a family member, it will degenerate its existence.

"Freezing the melted ice doll again won't make you look like a doll again," said Sister Flower Love.

"I pray that the soul of this man will be summoned to heaven without straying. God, please let him sleep in peace."

I offer my condolences to the Nanquan Hou, where the Pope lies. Dead souls do not go to the divine world where God is. Go to heaven beneath it.

So the soul is purified and reborn into a new body. Apparently too dirty a soul can only be a beast... I just hope this guy isn't.

For once, I looked in my pocket or whatever clue I had.

Nothing particularly dizzying. Pipes and matches the fountain pen and pocket watch, as well as a case containing tobacco leaves and dampers. Is this all you have?

Let Flora take a look at the body of Hou Nanquan later.

"Kings, hey"

Turning around, cherry blossoms are inviting you from the hallway. What the fuck?

Leave the scene and head for the cherry blossoms in the hallway. Is Yae with you?

"What's wrong?

"Yeah. You know, sometimes I've been hearing a lot lately"

"What?"

Sometimes you can hear me better? What the hell?

"Sometimes people talk about people who are very far away. When I asked my sister-in-law, she said it was the king's fault."

"Eh ⁉ What do you mean ⁉"

"Cherry Blossom Hall, have you woken up to 'family traits'? Envy......"

Yae looks surprised, but wait a minute. What do you mean "family traits"?

"Is that it? Didn't the Winter Night Hall hear from Sister-in-law Hana? Did Lord Yumina wake up?

"Yumina?... Oh, the power of example created by kinship"

Those who are becoming dependent upon the "love of God" wake up to special abilities. In Yumina's case, she gained the power of predicting the future. Though I only seem to know the future a few seconds away.

In the case of cherry blossoms, did you hear it? Speaking of which, Sakura used to sing songs with Brother Songsuke. Drunken flowers are often accompanied by a banquet. Maybe there's also "God's love" over there.

In the case of Hachi, I often have a blade sister, but Hilda is with me. No way. They're dispersed?

"So, yeah. I just heard something fall from this room on the carpet. Goto. So I was kind of pointing my consciousness that way..."

"Huh? But that room is [silence] but... oh well"

Because it's the power of kinship. It's the power of God. [Silence] It's not something you can prevent. Goto would be the sound of hot water swallowing falling off.

"Probably. So, after that, it just sounded interrupted, but I heard something rattling and windows opening."

"Wait a minute. Isn't that weird?

"Yeah. That's why I called you"

What's this all about? If you drank poison and swallowed hot water, it's odd that it sounds after you die. In this case, there was someone else in the room besides Nanquan Hou.

The poison is slow-effect, and after Nanquan Hou, who drank it, moved all the way through the room, the poison turned and died... could it be,? If you're poisoning me for the purpose of killing me, I think I'll make it an instant one.

"What about mishearing the sounds of the other rooms?

"Mm-hmm. I don't have [teleport] unattributed magic on Dada. Confident in the spatial recognition capabilities of the coordinate axes"

Right. I also use [Teleport], so I know very well.

But there are a lot of questions. If you took the hand of poisoning to kill Nanquan Hou in the first place, would the killer bother to take you to the scene? No, unless you have the wrong purpose of wanting to see you suffer and die.

I also feel like it shouldn't be poisoning me if I'm going out the other way. I don't think Nanquan Hou is strong enough to flatter you. A single knife is likely to kill me.

No, no, no, no, no, if there was a killer in the room in the first place, the theory that he was "mistakenly killed with the Chancellor" doesn't make sense. I guess that means I've been after Nanquan Hou since the beginning.

"Uh-huh..."

A famous detective in burly hair scratches his head with pleasure.... I don't know!

I went back to the crime scene room and opened the window attached to the north side. It is a courtyard there, planted with several tall trees. There is no one around.

"The window isn't locked. If you run away, it's from here."

Over the window and out into the courtyard. I don't see anything that looks like a footprint. I flew to a tree and ran off to branch... I can't do that. There are five meters from the window to the branch. I can handle it.

"The soil is soft. I'll leave as much footprints..."

If there was a killer, how'd you get out? Oh, with metastatic magic... that room had metastatic suppression magic props, right? If you can fly like me, you can get away with it.

Oh, so I'm the killer? I see. That was a blind spot.

........................ haa. Don't be stupid. I need to find something. Second, I notice something falling under the window.

"... what, wood chips"

It was about two centimeters of fine wood chips. I wonder if it's missing from the window frame.

With that in mind, Yae ran this way.

"Winter Night Hall! Tokai Hou and Nishimori Hou!

When we hurried back to the conference room to Hachi's words, Tokai Hou and Nishimori Hou were staring at each other.

Chancellor Shubain and Wang's brother Ganossa were not there, but sitting beside the two with arms wrapped around their faces like Hou Kitayama chewed up a bitter worm.

"That's a big mistake, too! Why should we kill Nanquan Hou!

"The killer would not have targeted the Nanquan Hou, but the Chancellor. He was sacrificed because the room was replaced just before. Who's disturbing the Chancellor? I'm sure you can tell without telling me."

"We didn't kill him! Such a despicable imitation...!

"Hou Nishimori may be, but what about the others?

Kitayama Marquis, who was arming himself to the word, stared at Giroli and Tokai Marquis.

"... the Hou of the Tokai. Is that what you're talking about?

"We don't choose the means to win. Isn't Hoku Kitayama doing it well?

"I'm not denying it. The north was bordered by Eurons. A little alarm took his life and he was in constant danger of being targeted. You can't choose what to do in that situation. It's been a lot easier since His Majesty the Duke crushed Euron."

Hou Hou Kitayama grins niggardly as he turns his gaze towards this way. I mean, is it still misunderstood here?

"I'm telling you, I didn't crush Euron. Even though we had any chance of rebuilding the country, that country ran all the way to our own interests. You deserve the country's collapse."

"... Isn't it His Majesty the Duke who erased the Heavenly Capital Shenhai?

Tokai Hou is turning his gaze here. That's not true either.

"That's what Frase did. Somehow the Eurons said, 'If the Duke hadn't been there, no crystal monster would have appeared. There was no battle, and it wouldn't have happened,' but if I hadn't been there, there wouldn't have been any Eurons left to kill."

"... I see. The people of Euron should be thankful. That's His Majesty the Duke. Excellent."

Tokai Hou claps his hands and applauds.

Mm. I don't know, I feel thorns in the words of the Tokai Marquis. I didn't feel that way when you showed me earlier. Were you also a Euron person to your relatives?

"If His Majesty the Duke already knows who did this assassination, don't you?

"No, that's just... Well, I'm looking into it, but it's not like there's a chance of suicide yet."

Don't be impotent. Too few clues.

Tokai Hou removes his glasses and stares at Nishimori Hou as he wipes it with a handkerchief out of his nose.

"With all due respect to Nanquan Hou, I'm glad the Chancellor didn't get poisoned. If the Chancellor had died, we would have been crushed in no time where Prince Quo was."

"... you've really turned us into killers."

"I didn't say you were the killer. Some of the same factions haven't been informed of anything."

As the two began to stare at each other again, the door opened and Chancellor Shubain and Wang's brother Ganossa showed up.

"I explained the circumstances to the ministers of Nanquan Hou. I'm sorry, but I've got a room for you guys to stay here for a while."

"Master Ganossa, are you okay?

Hou Kitayama asks for Ganossa in the words of the Prime Minister. If you ask me, the royal castle is the home of the prime minister. It will also be inevitable to be vigilant.

"I don't mind. There is no dark place behind us. Soon the suspicions will be clear."

Without cowardice, Wang brother Ganossa answers that. Are you sure you're not the killer, or do you think there's no way you can find any evidence...

I don't know anything at the moment. It's not the crime of the people here, it's the result of some ministers running wild on their own.

"Then I'll show you to your room. I'm sorry, Your Majesty King Ferzen. I'll show you the sire's room soon..."

"Before that. May I?

Pope Ramish raises his hand. Oh?

"I ask your conscience in the name of God. You didn't kill Nanquan Hou, did you, directly or indirectly? Could you clearly declare 'I didn't kill you'?

Naturally everyone replied "I did not kill" to this question under the Pope.

The Chancellor will take my brother Wang and the Marquises out of the room. We were the only ones in the conference room, and the soldiers who showed up took us to a spacious room in the back of the Imperial Castle.

Look at the ceiling of the newly guided room, but there is also a dragon here. But just in case.

"[Silence]"

Bring the magic of blocking the sound to the room. This will never leak the conversation in this room. Well, if someone was hiding in this room from the beginning, I'd hear it, but there's no sign of it, so it'll be fine.

I turn to the Pope. [M]

"So, how was it? You used the Devil's Eye earlier, didn't you?

"Yes, there was only one person lying to an earlier question"

The question is, "Have you killed Nanquan Hou, whether directly or indirectly?" limited. That means he's lying, which means he himself admits he "killed Nanquan Hou".

"So who was lying?

His Holiness slowly opens his mouth to the Eight Words.

"Yes, it was Torren Hanoi who was lying."
