Isekai Sagishi no Consulting

Lesson 346: Scope of Assumption

After being invited to the reception room of Wishato's museum and adhered to it, the discussion finally began.

If you don't follow these troublesome steps, repeating the unnecessary, useless, and unnatural mounting forever is characteristic of the magnificent accessories that stick to the face.

It was a really crappy time, but I had no choice but to give up thinking that it was a necessary step to proceed smoothly.

Well, once again.

Wishato opens his mouth.

The intention is to show that you are in charge of the discussion.

Miz Clairemona said earlier that it wasn't a frog, but I was wondering if you could tell me the rationale for that.

Wishat asks Estella even though I said I would explain.

I know what I'm doing, so I can't help it. I don't know if it's a good idea.....

It's a waste of time to get involved with this kind of guy.

Well, maybe it's Osan's sincere wish to hear Estella's beautiful voice.

Let me talk to Estella for a second.

Estella, it's pattern three on route B.

─ ─ and gave a signal.

It's one of several patterns. I've talked to Estella about how to deal with this.

Unlike Beckmann, Estella was able to apply a lot of things because she was good at it.

Do it well.

Reading my instructions, Estella gets a small nod.

“Mr. Wishart, have you noticed the low temperatures in the last few days?”

Temperature?

Wishato looked back and exchanged gazes with the butler.

What, you didn't leave the museum?

It's pretty cold out there, isn't it?

Morning and evening cooling is quite a thing.

"Well, that might be true." What is that? "

“The last few days have been much colder than usual. In my district, there were people who pulled out their jackets during the heavy snowfall."

Oh, that's me.

You're wearing a thick jacket when you go to the bathroom at night. It's cold.

“What's that supposed to mean?”

“Do you know how many days ago this low temperature started?”

"I don't know anything about that. I don't understand the intent of the question. Shall I ask you to refrain from making sloppy remarks?"

"Excuse me. Incidentally, the low temperatures have persisted since soon after the beginning of the year".

Ward 42 is cold in the mornings and evenings due to its autumn-like climate throughout the year.

However, this year's cooling was well beyond the level of "there".

"It was related to the sighting of a person who looked like a frog."

Cold?

The Wishato side probably had several patterns in mind.

Assuming what kind of excuse we are going to give, if I came like this, I would have simulated how to cut back.

If you say, "I was wrong," you say, "Prove it."

"I searched thoroughly, but I couldn't find it," and I said, "Continue the investigation until you find it."

I wonder if he was hungry enough to prevent the harbor construction from resuming.

"It's been cold lately."

As expected, I wasn't prepared for anything unexpected.

Maybe you want to correct the trajectory and pull it back into your [assumption]... but I won't let you.

“Before I go into the findings, is Mr. Wishato aware of the boiling point of the water?”

"...... Are you fuming?"

“Yes, the temperature at which the water boils.”

"The blacksmith will be the one who cares about such things."

Well, you don't have to worry about the boiling point if you're living normally.

If you keep it hot, it will eventually boil.

Some may measure the time to boil, but none may measure the temperature.

So, do you recognize the water vapor in the air and the molecules in the water?

"What the hell are you talking about?" Are you going to line up the things you don't understand and wrap them in smoke? "

Wishat's irritation intensifies the tone.

"No, it's just a confirmation." I need it to explain this disturbance. "

In contrast to the frustrated Wishat, Estella maintains a plain expression.

You don't stir the other person, you don't provoke them, you just explain events that are commonplace, and you keep saying words with a face that explains things that are commonplace, like, "If you hit a rain, you get wet."

“These are things that professionals on the road have studied professionally as knowledge they need, so you don't have to know. I didn't know anything about it until this investigation.”

It is clearly communicated that there is no intention to make a fool out of it, and it is understood that "there are people who have such knowledge".

“At Sea Fishing Guilds, we pay great attention to the temperature of the water. When the water temperature drops, the sea freezes, causing obstacles to navigation, and when the sea surface temperature rises, the mirage rises and distorts the view. If the temperature drops, it may be swallowed up by a deep fog. We live on land, but that's what happens on a daily basis.”

Explain that there are such cases, and let them know that those cases are "unknown to unrelated people at all".

"And this time, the stage in question was on the [sea], which had been blocked by a rock wall for a long time."

So whether something a little unbelievable happens or something like that, just because you don't know, it's normal for the Wishats to know.

“From here on out, it's going to be a professional story, so I'm going to let Yashiro, who knows more than I do, explain it to him.”

"Ohh!"

That's how you baton me here.

There, I told stories about molecules, atmospheric pressure, boiling points, and water vapor that I told people in the 42nd arrondissement in the city gate square.

"You could have brought in the equipment, but you suspect that the equipment I brought in is a trick, don't you?" Then I thought it was the same whether I showed it or not, so I skipped it. "

If you don't believe me anyway, it's no use doing it.

We must save ourselves from wasted labor.

"In short, when the atmospheric pressure rises in the confined space, the boiling point decreases, and when it is released, the atmospheric pressure and boiling point return, and water vapor is generated at once. That's what happens."

And, I'll explain it to you, and then I'll return the baton to Estella.

It's a different story, but during the heavy snowfall last year, we witnessed a strange phenomenon in District 42.

Estella then explained the revelations of the Brocken phenomenon that occurred during the heavy snowfall period.

Be kind and polite.

"The shadows of myself appearing in the Maja, which covered my sight, were shaking suspiciously and making movements that were unlikely to be human." I think this will be testified to by those in the 42nd ward if they can confirm it. I don't know how many people have seen it, but the children of the church and Sister Bertina have witnessed it with us, so they will be sure to testify. ”

Listen to us and Wishat will send his gaze to the butler.

The butler nodded tinyly, but Wishato nodded with satisfaction.

You must have given me some kind of instruction.

The waiter who made us tea quietly left the room.

“We stepped deep into the wetlands to investigate. No abnormalities were found in the wetlands, and there was no sign of the frog escaping.”

So far, Estella and I have told the truth.

It has been cold since the beginning of the year, and recently it has become even colder.

In the sea, phenomena such as freezing of the sea, seeing a mirage, and standing fog occur.

The frog was seen on the sea beyond the cliff that had been closed for a long time.

Raising the atmospheric pressure in a confined space lowers the boiling point.

The temperature of the liquid rises when air is pumped into the bottle filled with liquid and the air pressure is increased.

· In the experiment conducted in the square in front of the city gate, water vapor stood in the bottle in an instant.

Brocken phenomenon occurred in 42 wards during heavy snowfall.

The shadow of the person in the mirror shows the movement away from humans.

No particular changes were observed in the wetland area.

Estella and I alternated on a few facts.

There is not a single lie concerning this matter, and the frog shall not be made a frog, even if the judgment of the Spirit shall be made.

"And we concluded that the witness testimony was' mistaken '."

Avoid the lie by separating the lines between me and Estella.

You don't have to tell such dangerous lies about the 'Brocken phenomenon in the cave'.

All you have to do is line up the facts gently and let the other person "think" about it.

"It's unbelievable."

With his arms together, Wishat leans against the back of the sofa.

Specifically?

Just now, Estella is on the pursuit.

No matter how frivolous the story is, when people ask me "where is it", I get a little mouth-watering.

The 'little' creates a gap in the mind.

The mouthful of yourself affects your heart more than you can imagine.

"Huh? You think I can beat you?" The impatience of ", although slight, gives rise.

"Is it really a phenomenon that Bro... somehow happens?"

"It happened. No, it happened. I am the witness. Ask Sister Bertina and the kids if I'm not enough.”

Name a person who will never tell a lie.

Before that, Estella could make her testimony credible by making a clear statement.

Even if the [Judgment of the Spirit] were to be made at this time, Estella would be safe.

Because the Brocken phenomenon is in fact an event that happens.

So the shadow the carpenter saw wasn't a frog?

“I made a holistic judgment and came to a conclusion like that.”

We don't say "yes" here.

In light of everything, Estella and I made the decision to "lie about it".

Then he drew the conclusion that "it was a mistake" and made it public.

Estella's words, "I have concluded so," are not a lie.

“But is there any evidence that it wasn't a frog?”

“So, can Mr. Wishato prove that there are no frogs in this cinema?”

What's the matter!?

When people are cut back from unexpected directions, they stop thinking.

That's the right time to fold it over.

"Is there any evidence that there are no frogs in this building?"

"There can't be such a thing in my building!"

“I've heard that it's not common sense or reason, but 'proof' that can be presented.”

There's nothing I don't have!

"Yes, sir."

Then use the other person's words to block the objection.

"As Mr. Wishato said, there's nothing I can't show you. If you are not convinced by this, please provide evidence that there was a frog in that cave. That way, I'll acknowledge the insufficiency of our investigation and make up for it as much as I can.”

You can't prove what you don't have.

If you still insist that there is, give me proof.

It is also infinitely closer to impossible.

Above all, such an effort is in vain.

“We conducted various investigations and verifications, judged multilaterally, and drew only one conclusion. It's the same level of nonsense that says," I can't deny the possibility that a frog who has fled from the wetlands by climbing a cliff might be secretly living in this cosy building. "

I can say as many words as I like, "Possibly," "Maybe," "I can't say without it."

And you don't have to hang out all the time.

"But such a story... who the hell would believe it?"

And just as Wishato was trying to persist, all of Natalia's hourglass sand fell.

Norbert-sama ahhhhhh!

And with the right timing, Beckman's voice echoed throughout the hall.

The voice of Beckmann suddenly resounded, and Wishart was frustrated and rattled his tongue.

"That parrot..."

Murmuring, she turned to the butler Wishart, who stood behind her.

"Shut him up."

Haha

Briefly, the butler Wishart leaves the room.

We're all alone in the reception room with Wishat.

Well, there might be soldiers behind the door, so I wouldn't attack Wishat just because he was alone.

More than that, there's work to be done.

Speaking of Norbert,

When I muttered, Wishato clearly looked uncomfortable.

"I've heard that name somewhere."

When I turned my attention to Estella, I said, "Did you know that? I tilted my neck with a face like that.

This is also an act.

If everyone knew the minor name of Norbert who came out of nowhere, they might think, "There's something wrong with him."

I just remembered when I heard your name, and that's the kind of atmosphere that matters.

From Estella, disguised as a wind she doesn't remember, she turns her gaze to Natalia.

“I remember the name of the pedestrian who was expelled from the country for stealing from a noble residence.”

Natalia is a great waiter, so it's only natural to remember.

Then, listening to Natalia's story, "Ah, there was such an incident," Estella just remembered.

And all that are here remembered the name of Norbert.

"Huh? I think that noble residence..."

"Yes, this way."

Natalia answers Estella's questions and forces Wishat into the conversation.

Listening to Natalia's answer, Estella strangely turned to Wishat.

“Why would anyone cry out in the name of someone who has been banished?”

"That's what I want to hear."

You pretend to have been banished, and you're actually hiding it?

"Don't talk too much, civilian!"

When I put in the tea, Wishato yells at me with a terrific swordscreen.

I greeted it with a slightly 'welcome' smile.

Ufufu

"Are you making fun of me!?"

Oops, did you make a mistake with the "little" key?

Well, that's fine.

I'll continue with a smile on my face.

Well, there's no benefit in keeping a thief in hiding.

"Yes, it would."

"No, wait, there is one, isn't there?"

I don't know.

Oh, be careful.

I'm hiding it because it has its advantages.

I can't say with my own mouth, "I don't have any advantages."

In a way, I can't use my favorite "I don't know" strategy in this matter.

It's a bargaining material with Baochrea. You're not going to do this without your knowledge, are you?

Surprisingly, you're in a dungeon in this building, right?

Cool!

"Oh, don't deny it."

"What are you trying to say?"

If Wishat Mansion is full of secrets and mysteries, you'll have plenty of room to spare ~

"It's not the equals who do what they can."

Huh!? After all, it's like a dungeon!

"-Oh!?"

Norbert is not there.

It appears that Wishato was busy directing you, and did not deny the existence of the dungeon.

I see, there's a dungeon in this building.

There's no dungeon in Estella's museum, right?

“No, I don't have a reason to keep anyone in my cell.”

"No, there will be. If you let me out, I'll let you know a secret that I don't want to know."

Let's just get rid of it.

Natalia interrupts the conversation and says something horrible.

Well, that's usually the case.

“I will instantly block Estella's mouth if she learns of an abnormal hobby that others should never know, which is so dangerous that she can't keep up with common sense.”

"I don't have such a dangerous hobby!"

"Huh!? You don't mind if I say [that]?"

And don't fabricate an atmosphere that seems to have something in it!

"What are you talking about!?"

Wishato reveals his irritation to Estella and Natalia.

I didn't even know it was bait.

"I've shown you something ugly."

Estella shrugs her shoulders as she turns a troubled smile on her frustrated whiskers.

My waiter was too loyal to me.

"It doesn't look like much."

The waiter who plays the Lord doesn't seem to have any loyalty fragments.

Besides, in public, in a place like this.

But...

"Really? At least I think it's more important than your butler."

"My deacon has such an unforgettable play of character."

It's not just play, is it?

"... what?"

Wishato's expression grew steeper, and a vigorous smile spread across Estella's face in proportion.

“Who was the one making the noise outside? You said" that parrot ", so you know the other person, right?"

"Hmm... what is that?"

"I don't think anyone who calls a thief who has been banished is an aristocrat of a higher rank than us... I don't think even the aristocrats who are in a lower position than us are."

"He's not an aristocrat." There's no way. "

So, you're a commoner, but you're also related to a thief. On the contrary, you're a helpless person like a thief's minion, right?

"Yes, it is."

"... fufu"

Something's wrong!

Wishato rages at Estella, who deliberately laughed at her nose.

Make a big noise by hitting the table.

Still, Estella leaned against the sofa with a smile in her mouth, looking down at Wishato.

“So why haven't you finished yet?”

After knowing everything, Estella incites Wishato with a deliberate, "unintelligible ~", and a "how" smile that the nobility seems to do well.

You've done a good job, and so has this guy. It's getting more and more aristocratic.

"There are remnants of thieves who have already been disposed of, and they are making noise around the museum with no unexpected difficulties, right?" Is there anything so disgraceful about it? It's like saying "I'm lying" when you say "I've given you a disciplinary sanction", right? I don't understand the meaning of letting you say it. "

With your back rested, lift your jaw and face back.

"What do you think of Natalia?"

"Perhaps the butler here is incompetent." You've failed to train your soldiers to improve their proficiency, so you can't catch one of the bandits. The Lord we serve is equal to God to our servants. I can't think of letting that poor, mainly lascivious worker go wild, and I will definitely make him dead in at least five days. No matter how far you can escape, it's fine. ”

Without changing any expressions, Natalia gave a faint explanation as if to speak naturally.

Whether he's the one who tried to escape from the country in a carriage, I think he's going to be defeated within five days.

“I know, and I'm sure you'll make it.”

Thank you very much.

"That's why--"

Estella turns her smile towards Wishat.

At that moment, the smile turned into a mockery.

"--Your butler is incompetent, isn't he?"

"You..."

Wishato bit his back teeth.

At the same time that blue streaks appeared on Wishato's forehead, the curtains at the back were slightly shaken.

Oh, there's a way in and out of there, too.

Needless to say.

Looks like Natalia noticed the same thing as me, so she opened her mouth before it happened.

"If an unwanted soldier enters this room, it will be considered a declaration of war." I'm sure I don't have to say it. ”

I was going to say it, but I guess I couldn't help but say it as a good waiter.

Beyond those curtains are soldiers who must be responsible for the capture of those who have worked disrespectfully on Wishato.

But if we send a soldier to Estella, it will be nothing but a declaration of war.

I don't care how much Estella claims to be the target, but if you put a soldier in this room where Estella is, it won't work.

It's like a naked Osan getting into a women's vehicle and saying, "I didn't mean to be an idiot."

... no, isn't that a bit different?

But it's similar in the sense of being fully armed.

"No, you're full of motivation!" It's like that. "

“I'm not going to do that.”

Even if I don't intend to, depending on the future development, I may be forced to do so - this is a response that leaves room for improvement.

Well, I made a declaration beforehand.

If you step in, I'll crush you with force.

Remember your liver, the soldiers you're holding back.

Because of your shortcomings, Wishato's head will be exposed.

Norbert-sama!

As usual, Beckmann's cries were heard.

... it's about time.

”Nevertheless, that's a sweet voice.”

Such a murmur was a signal to Estella.

It's about time you set it up.

"Really, I can't bear to hear it." If that person is related to the nobleman above you and you can't do anything about it, you'll just have to eat your teeth and be patient... isn't that right? "

Wishato himself testified earlier that he was not an aristocrat.

I'm caught in the bait.

It seems that the shaver that is hiding its form and cleverly attacking it will struggle... but it seems that you also know the nature of the other party.

Wishart confessed to knowing that he was a parrot.

"Still, being left alone depends on whether the servants are all incompetent or not."

Estella explained why she mocked Wishat with a smile on her face.

Wishato's face is bumpy with blood vessels.

Wow, my face is red and black.

It looks like hot air is blowing out of my nose.

If we turn the turbine around, it'll generate electricity, right?

Angry Hair Generator. Plump.

Stirring up all sorts of important keywords here.

"If not... is there any reason why I can't get rid of it?"

Watch Wishat's face closely while listening to Estella's voice.

“For example, if you really hid Norbert and you plot something and you can't get rid of the thief who is making a scene outside?”

The reddish-black dyed Wishat's complexion returned to its original state.

There is one thing it means.

"This guy, you know something," he realized, and began to calmly seek a response in his head.

But at the same time, it was enough information to convince me that Norbert was alive somewhere in this building.

Did you guys get something in your mouth?

An unguarded gaze will turn to us like a probe.

What the hell is that?

"Blindness is synonymous with admission, Miz Clairemona."

"Now, let me interpret you as' yes' when you go out."...... So, what's a "thing"? "

"Shit!... it's Beckman."

"Beku, man..."

It's good.

When Beckman's name came up, I told him to repeat it slowly.

So it sounded questionable to the opponent's ears.

So, you keep saying this.

Is that the name of the bandit outside?

Then he said, "Huh? Don't you know?" and a little impatience sprouts, followed by an impatience to chase the other person's unknown information.

"... well, I've been bothered by that person for a long time."

If you do that, you won't have to make excuses.

Somehow I want to hide the fact that he's Norbert's valet and knows himself.

It doesn't matter whether you hide it or not, but in a state of impatience, a psychology emerges that wants to keep a little disadvantageous information secret.

The cheating man accidentally leaked information he didn't know about her, resembling a psychology that he was trying to fix in a hurry.

What awaits us first is "Dotsubo".

If that's the case, you can clearly tell me that you're not here.

"Even if I tell you, I don't trust him."

"You're lying to the lord?" That's an outrageous rumor. "

“Absolutely. It's almost impossible to persuade an uneducated person.”

There's no one there, so there's no way to explain it anymore.

"That's right. I don't know, he's low."

“Anyone with general intelligence and reason should understand that such rhetoric is a shameful puzzle.”

"Some people can't do that." It's a waste of time to talk. "

Sure.

Saying that, Estella laughs with a smile.

Well then, since there were no frogs in the cave, I'll start construction tomorrow.

What's the matter!?

Earlier, Beckmann's disturbances brought an end to the argument that had become a yaya.

"There is no one who is not there, so there is no way to explain anything further." The only people who don't know that are the ones who have the lowest degree, right? "

"Guu..."

"Besides, it's an outrageous rhetoric to accuse a lord of lying, and it's almost impossible to persuade such an uneducated person, isn't it?"

"... you..."

"But Mr. Wishart, who has general intelligence and reason, understands that such rhetoric is a terrible habit, right?"

Just now, Estella's statement, which she agreed with in Norinori, returned to herself and she couldn't even make a sound.

If I get into trouble here, it's like declaring that I'm on the same level as the bandits who make noise outside.

"Oh, thank goodness, Mr. Wishart is a sensible and educated man." Thanks to you, we were able to finish the discussion smoothly. ”

Say, Estella stands up.

Well, let's go.

"Wait, Miz Clairemona! We haven't talked yet..."

and there will be a change in the situation outside.

"Whoa!? What is it?! I just don't want you to return Norbert... it hurts, hurts, hurts! I want you to stop being violent! Ugh, I'm going to sue you! The lord of this district sued me for assault, and I was punished without a trace... ahhhhhhh! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, no kidding... wait, wait! You have to wait! Calm down! If we settle down and discuss, we'll definitely get to know each other! Falling... wow! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Your arm's coming off... your wrist won't bend over!?"

Giggle, giggle, noisy, only Beckmann's screams echoed through the room.

Huh? Did you catch him?

Hee, otherwise it's pretty good, isn't it?

Hmm. Of course.

When we praised him, Wishato loosened his mouth.

Oh, my God, you look so honest.

Well, it's not that hard, if we've really caught them.

Well, now that I've explained, let's go home blurry.

That's right.

That's why I'm telling you to wait!

When Estella and I stood up together, Wishat spoke up again.

Well, of course it does.

However, Wishato didn't have many options left.

The worst thing that can be done is to postpone the discussion of the unknown phenomenon of the Brocken phenomenon, "Is it really possible?"

Therefore, if you say, "Please confirm it to Sister Beltina," you cannot pursue it any further.

In fact, they say they don't believe it until they see it with their own eyes, but they say, "So, the Sisters of the Church are giving false testimony? You can cut him back."

And then I said, "Doesn't that mean that you're going to call the church a liar?", "Is it a declaration of war against the Church?" But you can stir him up.

If you want, I can invite you to church with me now.

Just now there is Sophie in the church in District 42.

Church leaders, extremist sisters.

He'll seriously bring out the Morningstar if he's corrupted by Bertina, and it'll work well as a threat.

Come on, Wishat.

Do a futile mischief.

That's just what I expected.

I have imagined a number of situations and planned countermeasures for them all.

So far, I've been able to stay within my expectations.

There were no hidden spheres that exceeded our expectations, and there were no developments that would screw us down.

Under unexpected circumstances, I didn't have to go forward.

If anything surpasses my imagination, I would shut Estella up and talk to her... but I thought that would be the case, so I told Estella, "Don't talk to me as much as you can"...

I was able to carry it exactly as I expected, and almost Estella finished talking.

Wishato's timidity and caution are not enough to cut his head off.

I didn't expect this man to join the fourth-class nobility and try to get the Baokuria and All-Bloom royalties around the table.

There is a complete lack of actors.

Dear Sir, only desire is doubled, and Ottom is like an ordinary person, this one was dancing on the palm of a cunning nobleman.

You think that you are taking the royalty of the two kingdoms into your hands, and you think that you are so powerful and valuable.

In the event of an emergency, he does not know that he will be lightly cut off by both sides, and he continues to maintain a noble attitude towards the other party with the authority of others.

It's funny. It's disgraceful.

And it's really dangerous.

The fact that he's doing the All-Bloom gatekeeper keeps my spine cold.

The only thing that was unexpected was that Wishat, Temae, was more incompetent than I expected.

It's no longer worth talking about.

Wishato's raised voice reaches me and Estella's back as we turn back to the exit.

"Wait. We're not done yet."

From there, my predictions began to unfold.

"Okkan-sama!"

Butler Wishato rushed into the room, making a frightening noise to block Wishato's words.

Natalia seemed to be in a mess that she would never do.

"...... I don't know if you're really caught, Beckmann"

Estella whispered to me, but I couldn't.

Beckmann has the ability to deliver voices up to a kilometer away.

Making the most of that ability, Beckmann was asked to play a play by himself while hiding far away from this hall.

Yes. The line I just got captured is a one-person play that I learned beforehand.

The time and intensity were perfect.

Well, I'm sick and tired of hearing it for the second time.

Is Estella the third time? Including the first time I spoke.

Anyway, no matter how much we looked around the building, we wouldn't have been able to find Beckman.

So, what happened?

Y-yeah, the museum is surrounded by someone!

What are you talking about!?

Wishato glared at us with an impatient expression.

... but it's water to my ears.

Why is the building under siege? Who the hell are you?

"... what do you mean?"

"Don't ask me."

When Estella asks me, I don't have the skill to answer.

I'm not expecting anything like that.

What the hell is going on here?

I turned to the window to see what was happening.

... Damn it! There wasn't a window here.

"Why don't you come out?"

"Wait! You must be the one who guided us!" This is a declaration of war! "

I'll go out of my way to crush the temele, you idiot.

What are you talking about!?

An exciting Wishat.

But the truth is, we didn't call in any soldiers.

Estella, let's go.

Yeah.

Well then, I'll take the lead.

"I'm telling you to wait!"

Butler Wishato rushes over, but ignores it and jumps out of the reception room.

He stopped me from going to the soldier in front of my room.

"I'm going that way!" I'm going to enter the museum! "

Immediately after that, the soldiers turned their attention to the voice heard from outside the museum.

In the meantime, Natalia clears the way by pushing the soldiers out.

Estella and I jumped out on the road.

It was a pure white world that went out and jumped into sight.

"This is..."

A white breath is exhaled from Estella's murmured mouth.

It's pretty cold.

It was like returning to a snowy season.

Master Estella!

Natalia turns around with a huge momentum in front of us standing outside the front door.

Immediately thereafter, a black figure passed in front of Natalia with a tremendous momentum.

It's a move that doesn't seem very human.

... what was that?

"Hey! Didn't the bandits come here just now!?"

Light is approaching from beyond the dense fog that covers the line of sight.

Approaching as close as a meter, he finally realized that it was a soldier wearing armor.

A pair of soldiers patrolling in pairs, a soldier with a spear and a soldier with a light, lined up in front and back.

The light belongs to Cantera, the soldier.

"Hmm? You guys..."

A soldier who realizes we're the ones standing in front of the doorway holds a spear.

You guys gave me a guide!?

"No one's coming here until you guys get here."

Tell a lie!

Try the 'Spirit Referee'.

"Oh, I'll call you back!" Judgment of the Spirit!

Soldiers who didn't suspect that we had recruited our people to attack this building must have been pretty smart.

Without any hesitation, he sent me a [Spirit Referee].

My whole body is enveloped in light.

At that moment, countless figures emerge in the deep and dark fog.

Something suddenly glowed in the fog, and the soldiers outside were gathered.

Countless soldiers gathered around me, and I noticed the strange thing and spoke up.

"Hey, what is this!?"

The soldiers glanced around.

Wolves, turn your face blue.

Several soldiers gathered to surround me, emitting light.

Behind them, countless figures emerged, wobbling and shaking.

"... this is..."

I could hear Wishat's voice behind me.

Nice timing.

"This is the Brocken phenomenon."

I'll look back and point to the fog.

If you emit such a dazzling light in a deep fog that blocks your sight, it's only natural that the shadow of someone standing between the light and the fog should rise.

Then, due to the thickness of the fog and the situation of the fog swaying by the wind, the raised shadow shakes spookily, and in an instant, it moves far away, and in the next moment, it shows an unpredictable movement that is approaching before your eyes.

Wishato and the soldier continue to stare at the dancing shadows in the dense fog, if the brain has not finished processing the phenomenon that happened in front of them.

While I was doing this, the light that enveloped me disappeared.

"It's getting pretty cold today." On these days, the water vapor in the air becomes a droplet and becomes a deep mist. If you receive a strong light on a day like this, you can naturally get a shadow. The shadow is reflected on the unstable fog made of water vapor, so the shadow is easily changed by the wind and so on. I just explained that it is not a lie, so can you understand this? "

I asked Wishato, who stared at the thick fog in a daze.

Please be careful not to do this.

"Such a thing... I've never seen anything like this before..."

"Taaaaaa, the carpenters are also mistaken." No one could believe this was happening. "

Every soldier gathered in front of the door is stunned by what happened in front of them.

"The figure this soldier chased is his own shadow. The guy in the back was illuminating Cantera. You were making a move that you didn't think was human, weren't you?"

"Oh... yes. It's such a fast-moving creature... I thought it was coming close to my eyes... but I ran away again..."

You must be having a heart attack after witnessing an unbelievable phenomenon.

Soldier A, who answered my enemies' questions honestly.

Wishart couldn't argue with the words of his own soldiers.

"The figure behind you just now disappeared in an instant." Do you think it's possible for so many people to disappear in such a short amount of time without anyone finding them and without warning? ”

Ask the butler Wishart to provoke you.

But deacon Wishato didn't reply.

Well, that's fine.

"If you still say that the frog was in the cave, I'll touch the lords of the whole region." "A large number of suspicious figures appeared in Wishato's premises that were not very human, and suddenly disappeared.... that was a frog, wasn't it?"

Converting the unknown into convenient malice is a good way for Kramer to do things that he doesn't want to solve.

There are many things to say.

But they can't do anything when their tricks come back to them. Of course, you will not be able to cope, you will not be able to argue or react.

Because you know best that you can't do that.

“Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?" Mr. Wishart, who caused a large number of frogs on the premises. "

"...... I think that's enough for today's meeting." Let's get you out of here. "

"Yes, that's right, Estella."

"Well, I'll start construction tomorrow." No, I'm really glad I cleared up the misunderstanding. "

Laughing softly, Estella offered her right hand.

Staring at it hatefully and without shaking hands, Wishato returned to the hall.

Finally, the butler Wishato is about to shoot us, and the doors of the museum are roughly shut.

It feels disgusting.

Let's go home.

That's right.

"Now, I'll take the lead." Please watch your step. "

I slowly walked out of Natalia's head in the thick fog that I couldn't see a meter before.

"... I'm interrupting."

"Oh, oh... oh"

Natalia clears the way with a cold murderous intent on a dazed soldier.

Take a few steps and stop suddenly.

And look back and say to the soldier.

"Leave a message to the lord of the cinema.“ Thank you for the minimal hospitality from pick-up to drop-off. ”And then --" Let us never forget that we have executed the "Judgment of the Spirit". "

Wishato didn't do it, but in Wishato's museum, where Wishato called me, the soldier Wishato hired exercised the "Spirit Referee" against me, a guest.

It is judged as a failure of Wishato.

Wishato was rude to Estella without overthrowing her.

I wasn't expecting to get that far.

With that in mind, I leave Wishart's building behind.

And when I left the building, I was picked up by a carriage.

It's a carriage that Malle lent me.

This will take you back to the Murul House, from where you'll use the New Road to get back to District 42.

Along the way, Magda and Rebecca stood at the promised point.

It was a terrible fog, but the ruler picked them up without overlooking them.

And they drive the carriage safely on the road.

This is also as planned, as expected.

This time, 80% is assumed.

It was unexpected that the [Judgment of Spirits] was put on.

But more than that, the most unexpected thing--

"What is this fog!?"

This fog!

Why!?

No, it's been raining all this time, and I told Natalia it's going to be cold today, but it's going to be so foggy!?

And it's past noon, right now!?

If it's early in the morning behind the mountains, it's still early!

"Ufufu! You can't see anything!" A lot of interesting things happen when you come to District 42! "

"It's not the 42nd arrondissement's fault, Mr. Rebecca." I've never experienced such a heavy fog before in my life, even though it's not a snowy season. ”

"... even during the heavy snowfall, this is the first time the fog has ever fallen so far"

But, I wonder if it wasn't possible to demonstrate the Brocken phenomenon before it was too late.

"Well, maybe so..."

Estella leans back against the seat.

I don't think Yashiro set it up, did he?

"Idiot. Can you manipulate the weather at your convenience?"

If I could do that, I would have done it at the briefing in District 42.

"I was really surprised..."

"That's right. Until midway, as expected by Master Yashiro, I was laughing with my nose, saying," Pupupu, this guy is so vain, but he's actually stupid, "but my liver was cold after all."

"Great, Natalia. Your heart doesn't seep fragments out of your body."

Natalia seemed to be making a fool of Wishat just like me.

But you used to turn this situation around, didn't you, Yashiro?

As soon as I saw the fog, I knew why I was making so much noise outside.

Well, I can understand that kind of thing.

It was the second time.

Seeing a mysterious figure, someone jumps in, even during the snowy season.

Humans are immune for the second time.

"I'm relieved that things can't swallow up." While listening to the explanation of Yashiro, I knew it was "Ah, that's it".

"When the [Spirit Judgment] was imposed on Yashiro-sama, I couldn't keep calm."

Ah, me too. That was in a hurry.

"I'm not lying to you, so whatever you do, it's okay."

"... I think your heart is absolutely hairy"

"Write to Demilie and tell her you envy her."

"Oh, no."

Estella seemed so nervous that she sank into her seat.

"...... Yashiro, did you get the [Spirit Referee]?"

The sleeve was pulled out, and the expressionless half-eyes were looking up from next to it.

"Hmm? Yeah, kind of." It wasn't a big deal, but-- "

"... I'm going to crush you."

"Wait, Magda! It's foggy today, come again!"

"... I'm fine. Even if I lose my sight, the sound and smell can tell where my prey is."

Well, what an assassin skill you have.

With this fog, Magda might be able to assassinate a soldier, but that would give the opponent some room to argue that she had an enemy.

This time, it is only preferable to have a situation where "there was no one but a creepy figure was dancing".

Now no one will think of the figures seen in the cave as frogs.

That is very convenient.

... Actually, I think the person I saw was a frog.

So, even though it's a coincidence, I'm glad that the most troublesome Wishat thinks it's all because of the Brocken phenomenon.

I don't think we should go too far in this matter.

If even Wishato, who is clearly hostile, blames the events in the cave on the Brocken phenomenon, no one will doubt it anymore.

Even if the same phenomenon doesn't happen again, they think, "It must have happened to be a rare condition where the conditions overlapped."

And he that hath spoken lies, saying, That was a frog, and hath spoken the judgment of the Spirit unto Estella, shall not appear.

Probably.

If you want that peace of mind, I'll treat you as rude as a soldier.

The assassination of that soldier won't do us any good.

Rather, we should be glad that that short-circuiting soldier inserted the Brocken phenomenon more clearly into their heads.

I'll look at it with all my might, as if I had been subjected to a definite [Spirit Referee].

"Thank you for being angry."

"... if you like palm trees, Magda is fine too"

I'll stroke Magda's head.

At the same time, rub the base of your ears with your foot.

"...... Mufu!"

"Hmph! My knight, I was worried about my knight too!" I was mad at you! "

"Yes, yes, and thanks to Rebecca."

"Mm-hmm, bye."

Stroke the heads of the two children on both sides to keep them in a good mood.

I'm a caring professional, aren't I?

"... for professional toddlers"

"Hey, stop, Estella."

If I get such a dishonorable title, I will go to the penance room the moment I return to the 42nd ward.

On such a cold day, the confessional can normally die.

Unexpectedly, we carried out our mission safely and returned to Sector 42.
