In order to enter the basement with the treatment of Tsudhari, the door must be approached in possession of the special key provided by Tsudhari. There are two keys available. One is Solid, the other is owned by me.

Without this key, visiting places with basement entrances is a mechanism that you cannot even be aware of. Conversely, as long as we have this key, it's just an entrance into the basement.

The door to the floor that leads to the basement is burned by the fire earlier, and I don't really want to touch it, so I step on it with my shoes for a few knocks. After a while, the solide crawled out at the same time as the inner one moved.

Sounds terrible, Solid.

"They just set fire to the mansion. So, Real, how well do you know what's going on out there?

Solide glances around and exhales as if frightened. If the mansion I've lived in so far burned all beautifully, I guess there's something about it.

"The Toryn army has been withdrawn. Smyths was captured, and Landsle and the others just said they were under house arrest in the name of questioning."

"Did Smyths give you the bolt? I thought you weren't that stupid."

"It's the people of Yugra's stars. He can grasp those who are hostile to him and those who are not, with a sense of distance as a person. If we suddenly show ourselves, we recognize ourselves as enemies, and we have to react."

"What do you mean, that man, he got in directly and set fire to it? That's pretty thoughtful."

Solide is laughing, but this time he's making more of an accomplishment over there. This is a losing situation. More than anything else I should be concerned about......

"Weren't the people of Yugra's stars influenced by your power?

"That's for sure. Then again, it is true that we firmly embedded the curse wedge. It's shallow, though, and has a lot of spiritual rejuvenation. I mean, you've been doing this for a long time."

Due to the character of the man, he shouldn't have taken the means like this one, but in fact, it looks like this. I even wonder if that man has different contents than he has in the present and past.

"More than Smyths has been captured, the information on this place will leak in not so far away. Even if you don't have to worry about being discovered, this perimeter will always be under surveillance"

"Considering the number of droppers in there and the food, you can do better in a month. Well, I'm going outside."

"I return to Serende once and bring Tsudzari. If you lose your place in a boulder, you won't be able to protect the droppers. Anything you can't use for combat will have to be spent in the basement for a while."

As long as Tsudzari is present, he can move to Serende's stronghold while stirring up the pursuit of the chase, just as he did in Serraes before this. I don't mean to take those who are not in deep into HQ, but I wouldn't have a choice in this state.

"The only drop kid who's going to be a combat personnel is Comija already... well, I'm sure we'll figure that out."

"You're in charge of this land. So I have nothing to say about dealing with those who can fight. I just want you to avoid using those who can't fight for some purpose."

"It's okay there. 'Cause they're worth as much as the average person who lives in Toryn, right? Then I'll just use the latter."

Burning down the stronghold led Solid to shackles coming off in reverse. If it becomes a battle without choice of means, it will involve those around it. You'll be able to keep your enemy's consciousness pointed at you until you bring in Tsudhari, if the solids will break out.

"I know it's no use saying it, but don't push me too hard until I get back. After I ask Tsudhari to evacuate the fallen child, I can fight with you."

"Hands in hand with you will give you far more prospects of winning. I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad to hear that, but that's real, unlistenable advice. I'm not gonna wait, and I'm not gonna loosen my hands. Because you do, don't you? Who's going to be my enemy next?

Solide, unlike me, isn't moving for a purpose, it's moving for a purpose in itself. Now I have enemies in front of me who should wield their power. How can I be stopped from fulfilling my duty as someone who has gained strength as a fallen child?

"- What is so far different from the movement of the people of Yugra's stars? It's about standing around after analyzing it."

"That's about it, well, let me ask you something. It could be the last time."

Is this the result I left to Solide? Do I have to do the math to crush him? Oh, I guess I'll have to. I didn't try to bend Solide's will. So until the end it has to be pierced.

Until now, I have been a friend of yours who has cautiously proceeded one hand at a time, but this time the expansion will be very progressing.

First, I asked General Odusse to help me gather Tryn army soldiers for the prosecution of Solid who broke out in town and boarded the Horsteal Chamber of Commerce. Multiplying that disturbance with me, Lord Ekdoyk, and three of your friends, investigating the inside at once was the first thing I heard.

But in the past, the Horsteal Chamber of Commerce has a proven track record of leaving the investigation by the Toryn army, and I and Lord Ekdoik have said that they are taking some measures...

"I guess there was no damage to the Toryn army at the time? No problem then."

And, get ready for the day. I couldn't move that far to protect your friend, but Lord Ekdoyk has investigated the mansion as best he can. As a result, there were no achievements such as finding solids or other droppers.

But your friend's purpose was separate, and the barrel filled with the demon sealing stone shards he had prepared, among which was a massive mixture of flammable demon stone shards. According to the soldiers, magic cannot be used because there is actually a magic seal stone, so we have to believe that it is a magic seal stone. Even if there were a slightly different color shard mixed in there, you would have misunderstood it as dirty.

And after investigating the last room, I stacked a book on the bed that was in one room, and placed a burning demonic stone on top of it and set it on fire by a time difference. The scattered demonic stones ignited one after the other, and the mansion burned all instantly.

"I didn't expect you to burn every mansion and try to broil it out."

"But only one dropper was actually caught at the Holsteal Chamber of Commerce. Solid could not be discovered…"

Solid had already escaped. Perhaps you were detecting the movement of the Toryn army as soon as possible. But then I have no idea where I ran off to. Shouldn't we still have continued our investigation a little more carefully and aimed at when Solid is sure to be there?

"Are you dissatisfied with the way your countrymen do it?

"... it would be a lie if I told you not to. It bothered me a lot to think that your friend had carefully prepared the plan once and for all..."

"I can agree with that, but my countrymen are getting solid results. I don't even feel like I'm worried about something."

While the two of us are talking, interrogation of a dropper named Smythos is about to begin in a cell in Toryn's garrison. Smythos is restrained in both arms with chains stretching from the wall, biting the appliance in his mouth so that he cannot harm himself. It's only natural that the interrogation...

"Well, Smythos. Let's make that goal clear about what we're going to talk about first. What I want to know is where Solid and the other droppers are. I don't know if you escaped or hid well, but you must have something on your mind. You'll tell me, won't you?

"Are you stupid? How do you expect me to answer that?

"Hmm? 'Cause, look, are you Solid or Real, you're asking about' me 'from around there? Then I can't keep the secrets that you have. It would be better if you just spit out the information. I wonder if you think so."

"Well, I hear he's dangerous. So there's no way you're going to give me information."

Your friend is talking with a flamboyant look on his face. From those who know your regular friends, that's probably the only chill you'll get. But I guess it's only reflected in the interrogation of amateurs who don't feel any hegemony from Smyths.

"Then I'll mildly imitate you like interrogation... but you don't like this because you have additions and subtractions. Okay."

"Light or heavy for interrogation -"

"Let's talk step by step. First of all, I've analyzed you. Your left hand, the poisoner, right? That's why it's unnatural to say that the poison prepared by the other person hardly works. Does that mean your talent as a dropper is immune to poison or something?

……

"Your character, it's provocative, isn't it? I know it's a vanity in one way or another, but that kind of race tends to have sent frightened routines in the past. Have you been blinded to that talent by a nobleman or something? With you, we can experiment with all kinds of drugs, right?

Smyths is desperately trying not to break his expression, but you can see I'm upset even watching it later.

"Next, let's talk about what 'I' thinks about the phase ahead. What" I "want to do is eliminate the enemy, and then stop the good things that are planned around Reality, well, that much. Aside from the latter, the elimination of the former enemy has several implications. For example, if you betray Reality and become an informant, you will no longer be an enemy. We'll have surveillance in the future, but that's all. Of course, if you stay like this, you must be eliminated as an enemy."

"... so what are you saying?"

"It just doesn't mean I hate you as much as I want to kill you. I also say that you are not that thoughtful. [M] So I can also feel a little drawn to torturing and enjoying it or making it comforting"

"Oh, you're so sweet."

"That's why I'm going to crush you as a tool."

"- Ngu!?

Your friend shoved the retrieved leather water bottle into Smythos' mouth and poured in the contents. Smyths spit it out right away, but he growls bitterly.

"Oh, no, no, no, it's poison. This!? Ugh, uh-huh."

"Wow, you're really poison tolerant. Awesome. But, well, I knew it was what I imagined. Even if you don't die of poison, you suffer from poison. How convenient."

"... what does that mean?"

"This poison is not poison to kill. Poison to make you suffer, an invention that makes you suffer easily without killing a prisoner for these interrogations. You could die eventually, but you'd have to suffer enough to encourage confession, wouldn't you? That said, as long as you keep trying with sinners. I don't think about how I'm going to torment you or that kind of bad taste. You just have to suffer the way you feel. That's all we need to find out."

Your friend laughed and lined up on the desk where leather water bottles and parchment paper were available, writing something on parchment paper to cross noses.

"This time we've got a couple of poisons that encourage vomiting. Did you just eat your meal? Well, I'll get it ready later, okay?

"-Ma, wait, it's a deal, I want to take a deal!

"Yeah, fine. Then I'll ask you the same question you asked me earlier at the same time tomorrow. I've already decided to use you as an experimental tool today, so I won't hear anything about you until tomorrow."

"Become -"

"Oh, Ekdoyk, you sure you didn't put any torture equipment in this garrison that forced you to drink water? If you do, could you bring some? I'd like to give them the same amount, if possible."

Your friend laughed and looked back at us. Your friend stays smiling flamboyantly from start to finish, as if he enjoys this situation......

"Okay, I'll take a look. Just stay away from the prisoners until we get back."

"I won't be back by the time I finish writing my first observation record."

Lord Ekdoyk pressed nearby guards to stop your friend from approaching the prisoner, and he was to join me in finding out if he had the tools he had been told.

"But your countrymen are boulders. Smyths was already trying to take the deal. It will be only a matter of time before we can extract the information."

"Lord Ekdoyk!? Are you being sane?!? Your friend was imitating that!?

Lord Ekdoyk looked pokan and then began to explain with a face like he noticed something.

"That's just a pill. Thanks to the abundance of Itoera butterfly larvae, it's a substitute I don't want to drink more than a half-breed poison."

"... eh, drugs?

"I helped you get ready this morning, I assure you. None of those pills contain anything harmful to your body. However, it does not weigh the ingredients of medicines famous for being very bitter or unsavory. It would be a fresh experience from Smyths, who used to be a laboratory for drugs and poisons, because no matter how resistant they are to poison, there's nothing you can do about it."

"Duh, how could you do that..."

"To interrogate Smyths, right? My countrymen identified Smyths as a poisonous, immune dropper from an early age, and tried to make threats with hatred."

"Hatter...... is that it?

If you ask me, there's no way your friend can formulate poison to torment people in a short period of time. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"It's an act since I brought my past stories to Smyths beforehand and strengthened my aversion to poison. I still don't think the way my countrymen do things actually helps."

"... does Lord Ekdoyk not look unusual to your current friend?

"Hmm? That's natural, isn't it? My compatriots are now a few years old."

"No, that's not what I meant... like this, like someone else..."

"As for character, I guess so. But the way we do it doesn't make that much difference from our usual compatriots, does it?

That shouldn't be... that? Looks like your regular friends are doing pretty bad things in retrospect too...... Then why am I so far...?

"I'm not the only one who has anxiety about your friend, I also have Lord Lachra and Lord Harkdock"

"... well, no, but the Hark Dock... Hmm"

Instead, isn't it me who's strange, Lord Ekdoyk? Only Lord Ekdoyk seems to be oblivious to your friend's changes.

"Even a verse that comes to mind?

"There is... I'm sorry. I don't think this is what I'm supposed to talk about."

"Huh!?

imitate the way that Lord Ekdoik teases you!? There's Lord Ekdoyk blushing Lord 'Aye' by saying Zubazuba what he always wants to say!?

"You look so unexpected... I'm sorry, but I think Mix and the others should know for themselves."

"But you are!? Leaving no more of your friend's anomalies worries your brother and Lord Ratzel."

"No, I don't think maybe Marito or Ilyas would worry that much, huh?

"Huh..."

What does Lord Ekdoyk know and I don't? Does that mean that your brother or Sir Ratzel will also notice immediately from what we are talking about?
