Early the next morning, Lachra came to her home.

To hear the story, I heard from Mezis abruptly. The content is to explain the situation to King Tayz and ask him to stand around and cooperate in the search for the book on it.

At first I leaned my neck toward a sudden change in the movement of Judaism, but the reason is clear as I hear more from Lachra about the circumstances.

What a foolish and honest way to report to your boss in Mejs that you requested help from someone who is a candidate for the script.

I understand you stopped talking, but you didn't stop talking here. Well, more than I know about this relationship, I have to get through it.

By the way, from what I've heard from Lachra, there's about a day's deviation between reports and instructions. It would be good to see that a different person from the one giving instructions to Lachra instructed him to make this decision.

It will be Pope Eupalo when it comes to the Archbishop known as Ukka, the one who can give instructions to that Ukka, who is currently giving instructions to Lakla.

Now we see the standing of those who are instructing Yugra and strictly Lachra. They only understand the book to the extent that it contains information on necromancy. It would be good to see it as a natural form to think so.

But at the same time, trouble comes up. The book currently exists in Castle Tays.

Ultimately, it was a flow of people saying that they would discover the book at the Lachra juncture and return the book with a trading venue. In the meantime, it was an arithmetic that could be decoded, but when this happens, it bothers me.

Instead of being asked to cooperate directly, you have to choose whether to reveal the existence of the book and return it immediately or hide its existence. It is possible to hide it through, but then the timing of returning it becomes difficult.

And it will also deceive Mejs, who has honestly brought negotiations. Tayz doesn't want to sell a fight to Mezis about anything. I want to make sure the book is dangerous.

And even at this stage, the dangers of books are considerable. That's already through the shit.

I can't help but worry about it by myself. Marito is in charge of the final decision. Marito must take a responsible choice. Things happened, so I quickly headed to the castle by myself.

"As far as I'm concerned, when I asked you to cooperate, I thought you were being asked to cooperate from above."

"If you ask me, I will."

"How long is it going to take to decipher it?

"Right. I want two more days to read the full story."

"That's true even from the amount left. Is just a rough decipher enough for a day?

"Well, I think I can go"

"It's not like I want to completely decipher the necromancy method. Let's just know what's written."

Then decide to receive a request for cooperation from Lachra. And I'll return it at a later date with my body that I found the book I kept in the treasure trove. and so on.

Lachra will use those who do not know the circumstances from discerning lies to tell them so. Lachra sometimes asks remarkable questions, so it just helped that one day she was scared that she wouldn't have a rundown.

"I just have something to worry about"

"Shall I guess? You mean the other searchers, right?

"Oh, I asked Lachra somehow, but she said she didn't know. Well, you understand that it's not good to explain to Lachra who chose Lachra."

"But there's no explanation for that, is there? Is it simply her, or are you going to leave her lying down because her presence has not been made public"

"Don't think of the latter. If it's someone who can move in secrecy, it's likely that people like the dark parts of the country. If they were sending darkness into another country, then frankly confessing would not avoid friction between the two countries."

"I'd like to cut you out that you're supposed to be from this side, but I don't want to be too strong than I have the key book hidden."

"I'm pretty sure you prioritized the discovery of the book and its relationship with Tayz over clearing your suspicions about Mr. Marya, though. If you could just disappear on your own, you wouldn't even have to put a finger on it."

That's a paragraph for now. Return the book to Mezis after roughly deciphering it. Consider dealing with the threat at a later date.

You didn't even have to advise Gazen not to leave for the night.

He has a life, too, and he should just withdraw it. That's why I break up with Marito and head to the alley.

"Gazen, are you there?

"Oh, my God, I haven't run out of money yet."

Gazen was reading the book drinking the liquor he gave him yesterday with his little one. You taste it and drink it. I recommend Gods, and I don't know what it feels like. But I don't.

Is the book Gazen is reading… an agricultural related book from the title?

"No, it was yesterday, but I think I'm gonna end up worried."

"Right. But when they told me to give it back, I spent it there."

"Is that the book? I'm not gonna ask you to give it back to me more than you did unilaterally."

"You're generous and helpful."

"Are you willing to grow that book, even crops?

"Bring the proper dirt from the outside, and pile it up in a box and think it might be a small field."

A vegetable garden at the planter, or you can make food and it won't be bad. I'd recommend it to Wolfe, too, or it looks good for education.

"Drill a hole in the bottom and pack the light stone away. Better drainage and less root rot"

"Well, you know that."

"I used to know someone who grew plants on the road. That's when I heard about it."

"Plants don't say a word, and they don't avoid people. It'll be just fine for guys like me."

"I'm sure he's not complaining, but if you don't take good care of him, he'll wither without saying anything."

"Right. I guess I'll have to put my eyes on that. I'll pick up some stones, just like you told me."

Gazen stands up loosely and walks away softly. Planter in the alley? Complaints may also come from all the food I make.

Perhaps it would be better to think about the landscape and advise various things without creating friction with the surrounding area even as a gazen.

"Make it with my money. If it's quite abundant, give it a try."

"Just a little bit. Hehe."

Finish lunch after splitting with Gazen and rendezvous with Lachra. It seems that Marito acted quickly while this one was stopping by, and a messenger had already arrived at Lachra to convey his acceptance of the cooperation.

You'll be fine explaining it to Ilyas as well, beyond asking the country to search for the book.

"─ So Lachra was coming to Tayz following a book that Docola allegedly stole"

"I see. Is that why you were guiding us around the walls or climbing mountains together?"

"You didn't explain to Ilias because Lachra had stopped you once. When it comes to confidentiality, it's confidential."

"I'm sorry. But there were a lot of circumstances here too..."

"No, it's enough to know why. Surely for Yuglas, the fact that he kept a book on necromancy would be a story to lay low"

"By the way, as for why I knew that first, when I went around the village -"

"Wow!? Whoa!? Whoa!?

"Ugh!

Explain Ilyas' relationship with Lachra without covering it up. How I was enchanted by magic is also polite.

But only talk about Marito holding the book. Because this is information that Lachra doesn't even know. The only thing we share is the same amount of information as Lachra.

"Dear mistress, you promised to keep it a secret..."

"Don't tell Ilyas about the deterioration of the relationship and the breakdown of Lachra's physique. You don't have to weigh it."

"Ugh..."

"Oh well. Well, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."

"Mr. Ilias is so sweet......! In exchange..."

"Someone reported it up there foolishly and honestly, so I guess it's a feather involving the country."

"Dumb, reporting contact consultation is important. Yikes!?

After listening to the whole story, Ilias starts thinking. I guess it reminds me of Docola. Then naturally that topic will come up.

"Surely Docola didn't tell you to say goodbye and look into the base?

There he is. Ilias is a brain muscle but not a birdhead. He is also a talented type who has mastered magic all the way. And what I notice is also the type that I immediately say.

It's not that I don't have the flexibility to hang out with you if you keep your mouth shut in advance.

It's just that I can't help but think about letting Ilias lie or hide things.

"Oh. The day after that, a search of each location has been conducted and stolen valuables have been recovered. It would have been more likely to be kept in the castle."

"Did you know it was likely in the castle and you were connecting it from the outside..."

"Well, if the owners aren't there, they'll be flowing from the country to the city. Should I have asked you to board the castle because it's most likely?

"It's... hmm"

"To the boulder. I'll stop that."

"Right."

"It looks like we'll be finishing our treasure trove investigation tomorrow, so let's just get the boundaries ready today"

I can't say that would be in vain. Let's hope it's bad where you're motivated but not too stuffed with extra roots.

"... well, speaking of which, why did Docora say goodbye to Master Kanji?

"That's because he cornered Docola. And Docola recognized him."

"What!?

Something extra... I thought it would be a hassle, and he said he was on the ground that he had something to do with Docola.

"I was just lucky enough to read where I was going. It must have been Ilias who killed Dokola's undead from the woods."

"Yes, it is."

"If that's still the case, I wish you'd told me."

Tasteless. I don't know how I excused it...... I have to answer without sharing a lie. Oh, here's the thing, huh?

"I hate to stand out. I have a cooperative relationship with Lachra, but I didn't want Mejs to know much about this trait. So it is true that I wanted to cooperate on the ground that I was involved in the Docora crusade. Sorry."

"Really...... no, never mind. I don't have to hide what I've been asked in my position, so I can't help but think about it."

"It would help if you could say that."

Lachra returns to Mr. Marya's church and goes into preparing the tools to tie the line. I will then have this one and Wolfe kept.

To get back to work, Ilyas travels to the castle together to finish deciphering the book. I'm only telling Marito because he's calling me.

"No, I have to apologize to Ilyas."

"To me?

"Well, as a matter of position, I'm a cohabitant protected by Ilias. You could have talked to me about it."

"I guess Lachra was stopping you? I've missed you, but it's better than letting you break your promise."

"You were feeling lonely."

"Yes, no, what do you say. I was guessing they had a common secret, but you call it alienation from not being added..."

"I miss you."

"Yeah, shut up! Besides, I cared about Wolfe as well!

Wolfe has a pretty sharp spot, too. I just wondered if you cared about Ilias in Wolfe's case. It makes me anxious when I see those close to me troubled. That's what Wolfe is.

Decryption work will then resume with Marito. Change the policy and explain what is written in the big mess. And proceeded with the method of digging into the details of what Marito and Sir Ragdo had pointed out.

Still, however, it took time, the sun set, and work in the castle overnight. Ask Ilyas to pick up Wolfe and finish dinner at the castle.

"Speaking of which, you've never eaten in these ways. Working all night is fresh and good!

"I had strength all night when I was a minor, but it's hard..."

"You don't seem fit, do you?"

"It's not just physical strength. And the spirit. Concentration isn't meant to last a night."

Nevertheless, this one is just a matter of reading, understanding is on your own.

It is Marito, and Lord Ragdo, who actually understands and remembers it in his head. Yeah, well, so is Dark Department.

The work continues through the night, devouring valuables that could be decorated on the forehead by Gods and Cyra, a night meal made by Sir Ragdo.

--------------------------------------

"Mm-hmm. Hmm. Hmm."

Walk through the city at night to cross noses. I feel good today. You deserve to be in a good mood on the day when what you think goes well.

"Ah, no more booze... well, if you hold it for two days, it's superior"

Squeeze the empty leather bag. It was delicious. That kid, I wonder if you could bring it back.

I can't even buy it with the money I have on hand, but the liquor I get is extraordinary.

And some of them liked it. He's a stranger. He always turns a blind eye to me...

Give me booze, give me money, and I'll talk to you as one opponent. He would have given me the information if I'd just given him the money, but the way he handled it without a house is a good place for you, too.

"When you have delicious vegetables... do you want to increase your thanksgiving?"

Enjoy the spicy leftover liquor aftertaste with your eyes closed and proceed.

The back alley is my garden, so I can walk even as I meditate my eyes. What comes into my ears is the words of people who hear it at night but slightly.

Yeah, that couple over there is boring again. You're fighting. Are you in custody today for cutting vegetables? Keep rolling.

Is the old lady from the other house talking to herself? My grandson will be here in a few days. Go back to sleep.

What I hear from here is... what, don't hear a voice you can't hear.

Open your eyes and see the house where you heard your voice. My grandfather here should have died six months ago. It's a strange story to have people inside.

Reminds me of the word that kid said. I didn't know he was coming from the outside. Is that them?

Even I weigh myself down to using an empty house, but you're kidding me.

There's a window at the end of my gaze. Go ahead with your legs. Take a peek inside.... What, those guys?

There's more than one man with his whole body covered in black robes, talking about something. Shit, it's better not to get involved. Step away from the window and gently distance yourself from the empty house.

I don't know what's wrong, but can I get some money if I tick that kid?

Right, he'll surely give you money. That would make my vegetable-making plans go well.

What, suddenly my vision...

"Whoa, did you kill him?

"I was peeking at the house. It would be scum without a house because of the outfit and the smell."

"Uh, break the neck bone clean. I don't know if you're gonna find out."

"Look what he's holding. It's booze."

"Uh, well, then let me get up like this... somthing!

"Do you have a guy who can make noise!

"Bad, bad. But this is gonna look like an accident, right? Then withdraw."

--------------------------------------

It's totally morning. The decryption has finally been completed to the extent that it would be okay to return it. I was given permission to go home.

Had I not told Ilias that I would have stayed in the castle, I would have made an unwanted misunderstanding by now. Illias has a tough gaze when he hasn't been regenerating or something lately. I'm worried Wolfe will imitate you. Really.

Rumor like that and I'll see Ilyas somehow. There seems to be someone beside it.

My body sticks out of the alley, but it looks familiar outfit, was it the guard? I think it was a knight apprentice being coached by the Ragdo squad or something.

... That's different from the usual Ilias. Is something wrong?

"Ilias, you look disgusting, but something happened?

"You. No, don't look at the sight in the morning..."

"What happened?

Two guards come out of the alley. It is a stretcher hung with a cloth that is held in both hands.

Unnatural exuberance, I guess someone is being put on board. Someone died, and I'm sorry to see the body in the morning.

The corpse being placed on the stretcher is covered in cloth in its entirety, and its appearance is invisible.

Well, I don't want to see it. But I missed my gaze, and I found something falling by the alley, and I lost my word.

It's a leather bag for liquor, something I've seen recently. Run over to the stretcher and ignore the guard's stop and lift the cloth.

"Hey, what..."

There was the remains of Gazen, who lived until yesterday and showed a sarcastic laugh.

"... Gazen, no"

"- You know him?

"... oh man I don't have a house living in the back alley around here"

It wasn't a deep relationship. I'm not even saying we're close. But I'm not saying it's someone else at all.

I know his liquor preferences. I know what he was trying to do. Even though......

─ ─ What a shame, that's the only feeling I get.

"Looks like I fell over from drinking too much. Strike your head hard on the wall..."

"Right..."

I've been drinking since daylight. The wonder is... no, wait. It was only yesterday that I gave him this booze.

Pick up the falling leather bag. It's empty. The smell inside... is definitely the liquor I gave you.

The liquor I had prepared at the mercy of Gods, but this is a rare liquor in Tays. It is unlikely that I bought more.

Between yesterday evening and last night, this is the only booze Gazen has had. And I know this liquor isn't that strong because I tried it.

How was the gazen you saw yesterday? I did drink, but that foothold...

Enter the alley where Gazen would have fallen and find the wall where he seems to have hit his head.

There are traces of blood. I guess that's a lot of blood. This is definitely where Gazen died...... but...... Look around and notice how different it is.

"Ilyas, where does Gazen carry you?

"There's already a lot of outbound traffic. I don't really want to impress people. Take it to the church of Marya for a moment."

"Well, we weren't friends we didn't know. Do you mind if I follow you?"

"Oh, oh."

Gazen's body is transported to Mr. Marya's church.

─ ─ Would it be better if we were here? Whisper in a whisper in Ilias' ear.

"Could you examine his body in detail? There's something suspicious."

"What do you mean?

"This man could have been killed"

"What?

"First of all, the liquor the man was drinking was something he had luxuriously enjoyed yesterday. I spent more than a day drinking that, and I don't see how I've drunk anything else. I was also drinking at yesterday's stage, but the footprint was solid. Second place I fell, but I didn't see anything like it. It's not like falling without your footsteps fluttering."

"That's... that would bother you, but it's not like there's a chance you might have fallen by chance"

"Yeah, but I'm smashing my head to death. So much so that it leaves a solid blood trail on the wall. I wasn't injuring my hand while I left it tumbling with that momentum. Even though if you are conscious, you will protect your body with your hands."

"... ok. Let's do a little research."

That's how Ilyas goes to the place where Gazen's body is kept and begins to examine the body. Stare at that from behind. Eventually, Ilias speaks with a rugged face.

"I have a broken neck bone... but this wasn't caused by a hard bump to the head. It's probably directly broken."

"... right, okay"

The speculation was realistic. Then we have to act.

Turn your heels back and leave the room. Look at that. Illias is coming after me, too.

"Wait a minute. Where are you going?"

"Castle. I could talk to Marito."

"- Won't you talk to me?

Stop your legs and look back at Ilias. A straight gaze is pointed.

For a little while, think silently. Matters to be faced from now on and the existence and position to say Ilias.

The way I told her this is not a good fit. If you are, you should let her go.

But that's not ambiguous. It must be done with firm will.

"It's gonna stink. I don't want Ilias, the knight, involved."

"I'm already involved"

"... I don't want Ilyas to carry the burden of hiding from others"

"If I tell you to shut up and watch me carry it, I say no. Let them bear it together."

"... you'll definitely regret it if you get involved"

"If it's time for you to regret it, I'll regret it with you."

Damn, handsome or you. Don't give me an instant answer without my hair on.

Well then... don't let it peel.

"You really think it's worth it? I'm not making myself clear."

"The value to you is up to me. Don't make your own decisions."

Scratch your head. No. I'm prepared to make you give this up. That's what I'm prepared to say I'll never be involved with Ilias again.

But can you... No...

"If you really want to get involved, I'd say let me give in and see... but they're going to kill you for seconds - and no, first of all, don't pull out your sword in no time. It's a metaphor, wait."

"Mm, I'm sorry. But why don't you just give up?"

"That's what I'm trying to say... I can't help it. I won't take responsibility."

"I'm fine. I'll make sure you take it."

"Will you stay out of this?!?

This is my fallacy that I left to my emotions to show me moving. Here's the bad one.

I made fun of it, and I can't even take it back. At least there's nothing we can do here.

I know what's going on, and if Marito tells me too, I might break it. I'll take him. There won't be anyone else.

"Let's go. We need to make our way to Lachra before they send us any use."

"Oh, oh."

--------------------------------------

His condition changed after I saw the death of the man who said Gazen.

I remember this, very similar to the atmosphere he had at the time he cornered Docola.

But it was darker and darker than what he had felt before.

It switched completely when I examined the body as he told me and told him that the man who said Gazen was likely killed.

He's changed...... no, he's not. I see the side he's been hiding from us.

By being with me and Wolfe, I was mistaken that his standing was walking over to this side.

He is in both. He's the one on both sides.

At the time of the bandit crusade, it was not difficult to hold his reins from the standpoint of saying he was protecting him.

But it is His Majesty who holds his reins now. I do not know how His Majesty will lead him. But His Majesty is king and not knight. I don't know which side to give priority to.

You must not leave him alone. That's my instinct as a knight I thought many times when I was dealing with him.

That's why the words came out aggressively.

"─ Will you talk to me?

He looks back and looks at me. Oh, those eyes. I can't have those eyes, I don't like them. I don't want you to see the world with those eyes.

"It's gonna stink. I don't want Ilias, the knight, involved."

He throws words at me to keep me away.

"I'm already involved"

You must not pull it off. I can be sure that if I'm allowed to distance myself from him here, I'll never be able to come near him again. So put what you think into immediate words.

I can see he's frustrated. I guess I've already stepped in and crossed the good realm.

"... I don't want Ilyas to carry the burden of hiding things from others"

"If I tell you to shut up and watch you carry it, I say no. Let them bear it together."

It makes me anxious that my previous relationship will end.

"... you'll definitely regret it if you get involved"

"If it's time for you to regret it, I'll regret it with you."

I feel terrified that he will be limited. If they repeat any more words of rejection, they're going to give up.

... but suddenly the quality of his words changed.

"You really think it's worth it? It's not clear."

Using my position as a weapon, his own weakness he was trying to pull away from.

He's shaking, too. You must not pull it off. Slap him with words.

"The value to you is up to me. Don't make your own decisions."

I feel poison coming out of him. Oh, good. I'm back to my usual him. It shows me in that mind.

I pull the sword out quickly because he told me to try to give myself up. Yeah, they were metaphors.

He seems to have given up on pushing me away. Good, I could beat him.... Since when the hell did you think it was a battle... mmm.
