8-21 Sir Envy 4
"I see, that was a disaster"
As Hans notes, Metes was attacked by someone and the residents seem to have gone missing. Only those who were in this hall seem to have managed to survive, wrapped in a special juncture that seems to detach consciousness from those who are hostile from the beginning.
Again, Sir Envy and the others still didn't seem to have figured out the situation, and they were rounding their eyes to the fact that there were so many holes in Metes' basement like ants' nest.
And he exchanged information briefly, and in a paragraph Sir Envy narrowed his eyes and asked Noah.
"By the way, after one of my men left the hall, he's missing... A slightly unusual woman with golden hair. Haven't you seen him or found any signs?
Everyone immediately realized it was probably about Matty, and it was when Iris tried to open his mouth.
"No, nothing"
Noah replied so briefly, Sir Envy staring into Noah's eyes for a while, but after a while he breathed and strayed away.
"Right...... Well, if you'd spent some time in the city of Metes, you'd be tired. Let's do this today and talk slowly tomorrow. I'll lend you some vacant rooms in the hall for away guests, so you're free to use them."
"It helps."
Then, from the door behind Takumi and the others, a noise called Kachiri opened the door alone.
"Show him around."
"Yes, sir."
When Sir Envy threw his gaze, Kyle responded politely with his head down and Takumi and the others left the room about behind Kyle.
Whoa, whoa.
"Mr. Noah, why did you lie?
Noah responded with a breath to Iris, who cut out the story so.
"I still don't trust you, and I'm too suspicious. Those two."
After Kyle showed me the beautiful little hall for guests, four people gathered in one room that Noah rented and sat in a circle on the carpet.
Incidentally, the room is soundproofed by magic items, and it has been confirmed that there are no hearing ears around for signs detection.
"And Lord Envy, that man's eyes. The last time you asked me if I had any information about Mr. Matty, I felt like I was here for a moment. Such eyes, seemingly to the depths of my heart. I'm glad I let the moonlight magic reside in my body so that I don't suffer mental interference."
"But I don't think I felt any particular unnatural magic or hostility from Sir Envy..."
As Kuido put it, it certainly didn't feel like Sir Envy had that much special or immense magic.
But Noah, on the contrary, that was what caused his distrust of Sir Envy.
"But do you all remember? Open the door to the hall and say what Kyle said at the beginning."
Takumi Dasan looked at each other and Takumi frowned.
"The one who said I'd show you to Lord Envy?
"Yeah, that's it."
"Is there something wrong?
"Sir Envy gave me instructions. There's no way Lord Envy in his room could have instructed Mr. Kyle in an instant."
"Is it possible that you were telling me to let people through if they came in advance?
Noah shook her head quietly to Takumi's question.
"There won't be anything like residents fleeing now after days of an incident, and I think it's hard to believe that they were giving such instructions."
"Right. Besides, I don't think a normal person would do anything to bring people into their homes, even their own rooms, who suddenly don't know what's going to happen. And those who stand on top of it without self-defense will not behave in such a reckless manner that they are not alert."
"Yes, and I think Lord Envy knows as much as we suspect ourselves."
Several groups of adventurers should have already visited the city before they could visit it. But so far, no surviving adventurers. Something about people wandering around the city isn't a big deal.
Besides, this Hall of Ser Envy stands out, so if you continue your exploration for a few days, you will probably be able to reach it.
But Lord Envy said that the survivors were those who were in this hall and did not touch anything about those who would have visited before.
And if Sir Envy is hiding behind us, why are we leaving ourselves alone?
The more I think about it, the more questions I get and the more bitter the air I get.
"Phew..."
When the three of them saw who spoke, Takumi was looking up at the ceiling with her hands on the floor where the carpet was laid.
"I don't know what I don't know if I think too much right now, and why don't you eat something for now?
After Iris and Noah looked like they had been emptied for a moment in that one word, I laughed small.
"Nha! We said we'd do something about the rice ourselves, and make the rice, Takumi!
"Heh heh, I'll help too. Yikes!
"Oh, I'll make you something soon, too. Don't lose your arm."
The four laugh at each other differently than the air just now.
I guess we can do this because we recognize each other's strengths and we're confident that we'll do something about whatever we're dealing with if we have to.
That's how the four of them chatted that day about the guiding principles that lay ahead.
