Isekai Taneuma

Feng heard that Isaac had been stabbed during the party to celebrate the return of his true ancestor, Sophia chased after the rushing people. Isaac was supposed to have been at the party, so I thought he was in the hotel, but it was unexpectedly outside the hotel where he was stabbed. As soon as I walked through the gate, I found it.

Around the reception hall is a prime location close to the Imperial Palace, so large mansions are concentrated, but there was usually a house where the gendarmes were gathered in the quiet part of the luxury residential area. There were signs of water spraying along the empty side of the road, so it was probably the scene. Isaac was stabbed there and brought into the house in front of him.

As they approached, Permel and Diogenes were stopped by the gendarmerie in front of the house. As soon as they revealed their identity, they let me through, but the condition of Isaac that I heard at the time seemed unpleasant.

Guided by the servants of the Mansion, the hallway was sticky with blood, and the blood tracks continued everywhere. I couldn't get it out in front of the two priests, but I thought if I bled so much, I wouldn't be able to help anymore... I should tell you what to say, what to mourn for. As soon as I entered the room, Isaac's unusual figure jumped in.

"Dear Isaac!

The two priests rushed as if they were to be killed. The doctor tried to stop them, but immediately gave up and gave up. When he lifted his body, Isaac didn't see any reaction, and his sagging arm hit the ground. His face was pale and not very human. I thought it was too late to see the doctor, and he shook his head in silence.

"Feng-sama, please researcher!

Permel, who was holding Isaac in a daze, shouted at Feng as if he had noticed. Since the resection was magic to resurrect the priest, I thought it would not work for human Isaac, but I couldn't refuse it when I looked at him with a stubborn eye, and Feng cast a spell as he was asked.

But, needless to say, even if Feng cast a spell, Isaac didn't really react. Asked to do so again by those who could not accept failure, Feng repeatedly appealed to the reservoir... no matter how much Isaac would come back to life, and the two who gave up eventually collapsed without power.

The doctor stripped Isaac from the two and returned the remains to the beds with the servants of the house. When I was about to ask what happened, someone came in from the hallway, and it seemed that Waltstein and Guillaume had brought someone like a gendarmerie captain. When Feng met them lightly,

"May I ask what happened?

When Feng asked, the gendarmerie chief was still under investigation, so he could not talk to anyone else.

"Sir Hermes seems to have been at the party venue for the first time, but he has recently reunited with a nobleman from the Imperial Capital and is willing to go home to play. And when he was entertained at the aristocratic house, he said he would wake up drunk, refuse the transfer, and try to walk home to the hotel. The noble house in question was really close to your eyes and nose, so you thought it would be okay. Well, normally I'm fine....."

"You think he was stabbed there?

"Yeah."

Feng sighed. Isaac and I once walked the city together as we greeted the Empire nobles. Therefore, Feng himself knew that there was no problem with the security of this city. However, it is not normal to be stabbed in such a moment's gap.

"... Isaac was always being targeted? I wonder if there was a mix of extremists who didn't like Hermes and the Empire making up."

"No, that's not true. I was just unlucky to get stabbed....."

But the captain of the gendarmerie hastily denied it. By chance, I wonder if you got caught up in a passing magic case.

"No, that's not true. Probably a line of resentment."

"Why can you say that?

That's because the killer has already been caught.

Two priests who had been relieved until then jumped up to the captain's sleepy words.

"The killer is captured!? Where the hell are you?

At that time, the door of the room slowly opened and a small girl came in from outside. Wearing apron dresses like so-called made-to-measure clothes, she looks up at the surrounding adults anxiously. When I was young, I felt like I was one or two years younger than Feng, and I think I was probably the same age as Lucy. It was an atmosphere of a cute human girl everywhere, not a priest, but the only thing that caught my attention was that her front apron, which would probably have been white, was now dyed bright red.

"You did it!!

The moment I saw it, two angry priests jumped in without saying anything. Feng rushed to stop one, and the other, Waltstein, Guillaume and the Gendarmerie Captain, managed to stop him. I wonder if it is coming to my head so much. It seems like it will be shaken off if I relax a little bit. The Kempeitai Captain turned to those two, blushing his face.

"Wait, wait, wait! She's not the killer! The killer is in a separate room!!

"What!? Then what is this guy!!

"This kid is just a servant of the killer!

"I'm sure the whole clan will kill you! I will not forgive you even if you are a servant. Get out of my way, or I'll cut you off!

"Stop it!!

Feng shouted back in place of the Kempeitai captain, and the two priests swallowed their voices. Apparently, he didn't forget he saved his life. Feng tried to take the place anyway and embarrassed the two in a calm tone.

"First, calm down. Now that Ser Hermes has been killed, this is an international problem. Run with your emotions and don't make things any worse."

When they heard Feng's words, they quickly grew up after they whispered a small voice. Both of them have long served as supporters of Lord Hermes, so it seems that such a political feeling has been retained.

The girl approached the phoenix as she slipped through the sides of the two who stood up biting their teeth tightly.

"Ah, um... oh, oh, oh, oh, please! Please, please, help me with the lady! Dear brave man!"

Did you think you could rely on suppressing them, or did you say you were a brave man because you realized the identity of Feng? But there's nothing he can do about it.

"No, I'm not the one who decides..."

"But we don't have anybody to turn to anymore! If you abandon us, we can't live anymore. So, please... I don't know, it's a posterity!!

The maid followed me in tears. I don't want to pick up dogs and cats, so I can't tell you to leave it to me. I think Feng is in trouble.

"Anyway, first we have to talk to the killer. Captain Kempeitai, can I see the killer?

"Yes, actually, that's what I was going to do, and I was going to call you two... but if you're so excited, maybe we should just give you a little time."

The Captain of the gendarmerie seemed to have been careful with his immediate visit. The two of them said so in dismay.

"Don't underestimate me. As the brave have said, this is a national existential crisis. I was upset earlier, but I will never do that again. And so is Diogenes."

"Oh, I swear to God."

I swear by the two priests. At first, the gendarmerie captain looked at the two of them as if they were suspicious ghosts, but eventually he sighed as if he had given up.

Well then, let me show you. Actually, there were a few special circumstances, and I couldn't put the killer in jail, so I was in trouble. "

"What do you mean?

"You'll see... well, I'll tell you more about it later."

That said, the captain of the gendarmerie shook his shoulders and then took Feng and the others out of the room.

The house where Isaac was brought in was an aristocrat who had no ties to Hermes and was simply stabbed in front of the house, so it was as if the family had given it to him with good intentions. My husband was at the party and came back a little late to Feng and he was smiling at the tragedy of his bloody house.

On behalf of the two depressed priests, he lowered his head to such a pitiful master, then headed to the room where the killer was locked up. In front of the room, a gendarmerie sentry stood and saluted the captain who had arrived. Feng bowed to the gendarmes and nailed Permel and Diogenes and finally opened the door. Then there was a beautiful princess woman wearing a beautiful nightgown standing in the room.

No way. This guy? I thought for a moment, but when I saw the Gendarmerie Captain coming in and bowed respectfully, it was apparently the wife of this house. I wonder if she kept an eye on the killer so he wouldn't run away. Speaking of priests, I was impressed by the courage to be with someone who had just killed someone, but there was actually another reason why she was there.

"Um, where's the killer?

When the captain of the gendarmerie looked around the room and asked, the wife gently pointed towards the corner of the room. It was just a shadow of a sofa where I couldn't hide. Probably be careful not to get peeked out. Feng and the others had no choice but to step into the room and peek into the back of the sofa... there was an unexpected person sitting there.

It may not make sense to say the age of the priest, but there was a blonde woman who looked very young and had a long ear and a slightly hanging tip. She had blue eyes like clear glass and was as beautiful as a crop. To put it bluntly, it was like a woman of a priest everywhere… but there was a decisive difference in her.

She sat with her knees up in the middle of a gymnastics sitting routine, as if she were crouching in the corner of the room. But instead of holding her knees, she was holding her big stomach. She was a priest and a pregnant woman.

As the Phoenix approached, she rounded up her body like her mother, who protects her child, and embraced her belly. I'm sure it was originally a beautiful white robe, but my body was dirty and it turned bright red after showering with blood. The pupils peeking from the gap in his disturbed forehair glowed sharply like a bird of prey, caught Feng's face, and he was pushed by his might and almost retreated.

No one shall come near my child. The eyes insisted so strongly.

"Are you... Luna Dewey!?

Feng was losing to the force, and the two priests immediately behind him shouted such a voice.

"You know what?

"Ha, yes... she's an aristocrat of Hermes... and I'm sure you've met the brave one before. I was in the palace the day I summoned you."

"That day, in the palace... ahh!

The moment I heard the words, the scene of that day ran like a running lamp in Feng's head.

When Isaac summoned Feng and woke up in the basement of the palace, he saw the priests for the first time in his life among the hordes that were taken by the soldiers of the castle. When I fell in love with that beauty, Isaac told me that you should be breeding horses and have sex in the jungle. It was a color palette for my friends.

After all, Feng was not taken in by anyone, but her friends were desperately appealing to attract her attention....

She was a saint woman back then... which means that she has a child in her belly.

Her sharp eyes pierced the priests behind the phoenix. Killing them so long ago made them grow up as if they could be shot in the eye.

Subsequently, the captain of the gendarmerie told me more about the incident.

Her name was Luna Dewey, daughter of the fallen nobility of Hermes, a divine woman who had come to Isaac's castle with the ambition of rebuilding her home. She was then prompted by Isaac that having sex with a brave man might give birth to a divine, believing that she had intercourse with a brave man and became pregnant.

The priest was very pleased with her family because of the very rarity of pregnancy itself, but things changed when the Hermes War broke out, and she would be targeted for life. When Isaac XII came to power, those whom he gave to XI were confronted with solemnity, and the woman who had been with the brave was killed. For the new Lord Hermes, the blood of the brave was nasty.

Luna ran away from the palace with all her heart to help her beloved child, but was betrayed by a family that didn't want to lose its position, leaving only one servant, Alice. Thus the chief subordinate continued to flee all over Hermes, but he was finally captured by the Imperial Army, which had marched.

She was taken into custody and brought to the Imperial Capital.....

But then Isaac XII lost authority by defeating the Warrior Army, and when the War ended indestructibly with the appearance of the Demon King, she no longer needed to be chased.

In the first place, the Empire was trying to eradicate the descendants of the brave because they were in danger of becoming demon kings, and the children of the brave fellow had nothing to do with it from the beginning. Luna is suddenly acquitted, but she doesn't have a home to go home to anymore, and her subordinates are lost in the Imperial Capital....

That's when Isaac's rumors came into her ear.

Isaac, who had entered the Imperial Capital, had buoyed his former opponent with a big gesture. Furthermore, when I lowered my head to the emperor I hated so much and regained my title, I took advantage of the fact that I was protecting my true ancestor, Sofia, and the popularity in the Imperial Capital was the eel climb.

I can't forgive the fact that he's blowing hola, and he's holding his weight in his arms!

Unresponsibly angry, she was wandering about to kill Isaac in the hotel somehow. Of course, normally, that was impossible while the gendarmerie was on guard.....

Let's call it a god's prank, when Isaac came and went without a gift. And she stabbed him.

"In front of the vigilant gendarmerie, she was immediately taken into custody. After stabbing the victim, he didn't seem to escape in a state of alert, so he was imprisoned for the kindness of our home. Because... I was pregnant."

The Kempeitai Captain was talking to Feng's backs near the entrance to the room. I'm sure he won't be able to see the killer from his position, but he doesn't want to irritate me any more. As Feng and the others snooped into the corner of the room, like a rented cat, she stared at us with hateful eyes. There is no God in this world. Such an eye.

Feng and the others escaped from that gaze and left the sofa.

Why didn't you stop my husband?

When one of the priests sighs, the girl, the killer's servant,

"I tried to stop... but... but my body didn't move... and I couldn't stop the lady."

She cried loudly. If it was true, it might have been the servant's job to stop her, but she couldn't even speak to her husband at that time.

Feng thought so. Of course, I won't say it, but if I were in her position, could I not stop the master trying to avenge me...?

Luna Dewey has the right to kill Isaac. Anyway, it was all bullshit. And yet she's still trying to protect her belly child. And it's a child of Feng's former companions.

300 years ago, Sofia only called Feng, so if it was true, they wouldn't have had to be called into this world. But this time, Feng got involved and summoned to another world, and they scattered their lives.....

Feng told them to run away with him, but they didn't hear that he was going to have a child. Should I just pretend that I didn't know about them and abandon them?

Feng walked in front of her in the corner of the room, lowering her hips and staring into her eyes so that her hateful, simmering gaze came straight in front of her.

"Your belly child is probably not a saint. It was all Isaac's lies. Your position will not improve dramatically when you have given birth. [M] Maybe you'll be executed after giving birth to a child. [M] You still want to have a baby?

With such a sign of Feng's words, tears overflowed her eyes like a weir. Your shoulders are trembling and shaking like you're feeling high. Nevertheless, she never strayed from her sight and nodded as she glanced at Feng's eyes to challenge her. There seemed to be no lies there.

When Feng received the reply, he stood up again and looked back. The people in the room are staring at him anxiously. Feng first headed for Permel and Diogenes.

"... I want to help her. Can you help me?

"Are you insane!?

"You won't be able to unilaterally plead guilty to her. That's what you think now, isn't it?

When Diogenes put his arms together, he meditated silently in his eyes. My partner Permel blurred his face painfully.

"But no matter what the circumstances, there is no indication in the country that the killer of Sir Hermes will be set free. In order to overcome the anticipated confusion, poor thing, she'd better die."

And Alice the maid jumped out into the word, and stretched out her hands in front of them, and made her crown. It was pointless for her to do such a thing, but when she saw her body trembling like a small animal, she knew how determined she was.

Feng inherited her will.

"Still, I want to help. Anyway, you can take them back to the woods. Would you miss that?

"But...."

When Feng and the others were doing such an exchange, Waltstein, who was watching it beside him, interrupted with his hands raised to the feeling of fear.

"Ah, I'm sorry about the intake. I don't think I care about her punishment."

"What!?

Waltstein looks at Permel coolly.

"Don't get angry right away, priest. I know my husband's dying and excited... but what about his back? The Brave Leader recently sent a Messenger of Peace to this Empire. I was counting on it because Sir Hermes had improved his position in the Empire, but when he arrived, they wouldn't know what to do if he was dead."

That was a sharp opinion. Stagnation occurs between the people in the room. Waltstein went on.

"Because Eleven is dead, you're still going back to twelve? But now the Brave Leader won't shut up. It was the twelfth of them that recently invaded the Brave Realm. If he were to bloom back to Lord Hermes, there would be no peace talks."

Yes, he was a puppet of the Empire. There is no more Lord Orpheus who was manipulating him, but originally Sir Orpheus used him for his self-esteem. Once such a man regains power, he will have no choice but to justify himself. Then the relationship between Hermes and the Warriors will be broken, and neither the Empire nor the Warriors will be able to make peace. Worse still, the extremists used him to start another war.

Isaac didn't have any kids?

"Unfortunately, Isaac was still young...."

"Anyone who doesn't have to be XII at this time, is there anybody?

"There is a very old divided bypass, but we do not have a successor and the current master is a woman. Whether or not it will gain the support of the people....."

"... after all, does this world care about that too?

When I saw Terry the Hermes, I thought that in a world that is still mid-modern, blood lines are very important. Hermes currently had factions of XI and XII, and it was likely that a feminist sideline would start a feud between the factions, even if they were lords. To contain it, we need someone from the mainstream XI faction connected to Lord Hermes' veins, but Permel doesn't seem to have such a convenient person.

It was then that they were bothering their heirs. Diogenes suddenly said that he wasn't alone in the conversation and was still thinking about something while bracing his arms.

"There is only one way to fit round."

Nobody's opinion was gone, and silence dominated the scene. His voice resounded well. Feng asked suddenly.

"Is there such a way?

"Yes, brave man. You will be Lord of Hermes."

"... hah!?

Everyone on the spot shouted loudly to her sleeping ears. He looks as if he should not have gone to the captain of the gendarmerie to talk about robbing the throne.

"Don't be ridiculous! If you do that, it's gonna be a war.

Permel liked it, but Diogenes shook his head.

"No, definitely not. Hermes was originally the head office of the brave. If a brave man is to become a lord, many of his people will accept him without resistance. Besides, the brave ones are baptized by our protective spirits, no matter what. That would be a valid reason to rule the land of Hermes."

"Ah! I see!

In that words, Permel now raised her voice with a hopeful expression. Is baptism of the Guardian Spirit the encounter of Hermes Trismegistos in the Labyrinth? Indeed, after that encounter, Feng woke up to the power of the brave, but now he's struggling with it.

I mean, definitely not. I don't know how long my reason will last, but it's not like I'm talking about the country... when Feng thinks so and opens his mouth to refuse somehow, Diogenes is stuck like he can control it.

"I have seen the brave man's arm many times in this imperial capital. Compared to the late Isaac, I was impressed that you were so blessed with your mastery as a lord. You should be on top of people. Please help me and be my lord."

"Same on the right. Ever since Feng-sama saved my life, I wanted to repay you one day. Let me use this life for you from now on."

"Pull your ass out! I won't do it. There's something else I have to do."

When Feng desperately refuses, Waltstein rides in amusement.

"Well, that sounds interesting. If you're going to be Lord Hermes, I can lead the army. If there is peace, the brave army will be disbanded anyway."

"Use the Adventurer Alliance if you're short on staff. Just now, there is Leo in the Imperial Capital. And now there will be as many adventurers as there are going to be for you."

And Guillaume seems to have started calculating for the Adventurer Guild. He seemed to follow, but Feng was actually thinking of breaking up the party.

That's why I'm trying to say no... On the other hand, if I become Lord Hermes, can I dissolve the party naturally? And it was when the demon sent me.

A little girl approached in front of him.

"Oh, please, brave man. Please help my daughter!

Her small big eyes are desperately looking up at Feng. I'm sure you're scared in such a strange place. The body trembled little by little and was about to fall. Even so, this girl wants to help her husband.

Now I can't hide in the shadows of the sofa, Luna Dewey... her eyes weren't those of a very desperate person. I had that determination to have and raise a baby whatever it was.

It just occurred to me that the same mother recently encountered killing her newborn child in a large forest. I do not want to condemn the act of desecrating life. Feng was conceived in a test tube and was born from a surrogate mother. And her childhood friend refused her own life... how could it be different when she said it was the same life?

Feng sighed.

"Okay."

The reply brightened the faces of the two priests. I could say all of them just now, that my husband Isaac has just been killed....

"But until Hermes calms down, it's just a surrogate. If we let go of power now, if there is no peace, Hermes will be in great chaos. So I'll keep it for the first time. But when I settle down, I'll find a successor and give him the throne. There's something I have to do. Is that all right?

In Feng's words, the two priests sighed a little unfortunately, but raised their voice of joy as soon as they recovered. Waltstein, Guillaume, and the wife of the gendarmerie captain and landlord who happens to be together smile. And Alice, the maid girl, pulled herself out on the spot.

About six months have passed since my people died. From Luna's stomach size, I wonder if there are two to three months left until the lunar month. Perhaps you still have your own reason. In the meantime, we need to solve the Hermes problem and find a way to stop the demonization in parallel.

Can you really do such a clever imitation...?

But we'll have to do it. Anyway, I didn't know anything from the beginning.....

Feng, driven by anxiety, consolidated his determination to take a step forward into a new world. Peace, stabilize the hermes, and take away the sons of your people, and you will be cleansed from this world. Yes, hide it in your chest.
