Magic Gems Gourmet

The following week (,,), I was not busy from the morning until the sun rose.

Silverado's eyes were sharp as he sat down on the throne, waiting for the words of a knight kneeling on a carpet.

Ain was next door, and a few townships looked away.

"I will report to you."

A knight with a knee gauges the situation and opens his mouth without changing his posture.

"Several adventurers have reported where a man called Visel fled.He took the life of a grand adventurer and headed northeast from here. "

Warren said when he heard that.

"Did it come true to tell you our message?"

"The adventurer who hired him said he was aware of the danger and retreated, but it was possible to throw words to surrender.However, Visel continued to run away laughing. "

"As expected. ----Your Majesty, the adventurer I asked you to do, but I've already found out what the relationship is."

"Well, the adventurer who reported it doesn't have a problem."

"Exactly. I've never had an interest in the man who committed the crime."

Well, it's not as suspicious as it seems.

I've been investigating Warren in addition.

That was enough for Silverado.

"Sir, I have something to worry about."

That's what the knight keeps saying.

"To the northeast, there are no signs of movement by water train.Riding carriages, boats.Adventurer reports he left the streets and went through the woods.... "

It's normal to run away.As long as you're an adventurer, of course.

Normally, people would have expected it and said, "What are you talking about?" But the people with faces here soon understood why the knights cared.

"I'll do it first."

Warren, who was silent, told the knight to leave the room.

He walked ahead of all those who remained in sight, and pushed his foot towards Silverado.

"I don't think the area around King's Landing is suitable for lurking."

"That's what I think too.Considering the terrain, there are few escape routes in the northeast. "

"Yes... I thought it might be better to proceed by sea, but there's no sign of it either.I've already looked into this, and I've banned the fishermen from riding adventurers for a while. "

Well then...

Before Silverado continued, Ain standing next to him opened his mouth.

"Uncrowded valley"

I said the name of the place where I was supposed to carry my feet.

"Perfect for temporary lurking."

"Looks like Ein is thinking the same thing as me."

"Ah. If you still have the monster who attacked Mr. Mutton, it would be no problem to hide somewhere dangerous.----That would be even easier if it were a somewhat skilled adventurer. "

That's what Warren said. Keep an eye on Silverado.

"I know. Warren will decide, but what's going on with him (Visel)?"

"The day before yesterday (,,), Lord Mutton woke up and told me."

"Hmm. Of course, if it were you, it would already be moving."

"Already on your mind.A man named Roy seems to have been staying in a town near the coastal city of Strom, but they also seem to have been carefully prepared.I was dispatching Lili due to illness, but it was after I left the hotel where I was staying. "

"If I hadn't heard from you, I'd have had a meeting with you right away to hide."

"Possibly. We've also received reports of adventurers and researchers traveling northwest from the middle of the continent.They're supposed to meet at the hideout. "

"... I haven't heard the rest of the report."

"Actually, I received this report a while ago."

I didn't take the trouble to delay the report.

We were talking about Visel at first, and we were just waiting for a chance to talk.

That's what it is now.

"Grandpa... Your Majesty."

"Nh, what's wrong?"

"In addition to Count Balt's concerns, I am concerned about monsters similar to the insects that attacked Mr. Mutton.I think he's still hiding other monsters. "

There was talk of two adventurers leading Named.

These are naturally without the permission of Ishtalica.

"And I want to ask Marco something."

Ha.

"I want to know how strong a monster like Gulm is."

"Sure, I thought the materials had arrived under Ayn-sama...."

"I want other information.I want to rely on Marco's experience. "

I see, Marco nodded.

What Ain wanted to know was not the information in the documents and drawings, but the information that Marco had had many experiences over the years.

"Fearing, I am a monster I have never met.If you're worried about the old information--Archie-sama. "

Nh, me?

"I thought Archer had seen Gulm before, but what do you think?"

"Yes, but I don't know because I was able to escape."

There was a faint smile on everyone's cheeks.

It is a powerful monster to be feared, but Archer is the demon king.

That's... no wonder I ran away.

"But I know it's stronger there."

"I wonder how strong it is... what do you think?"

Asked by Ain, Archer, who had been sleepy until now, relaxed her cheeks in a good mood.The face was so pathetic as not to have been the one who caused the war, and the girl who was likely to run around the flower fields looked good.

"Nh! I don't know!"

"... I see. Don't you understand?"

"I'm sure you're weaker than me!"

One thing is meant.

That's why Ain can kill you in one piece.

However, she adds that Marco can deal with it, and Chris and Lloyd can deal with it as well.

At the very least, it's the only way to get hurt.

"----I don't think you're hiding Gulm in a secluded valley."

Eh, why?

"I think I can control myself to some extent, but Gulm is a monster with a fever, so if the trees burn, it'll be a fire easily."

"On the contrary, it stands out."

"Nh. So anyway, there's only one place where the monster was.The owner is a pussy, so I'm sure he is.I can bet on oniichan's sword. "

"I understand the first half, but if you bet on yourself, you'll get angry."

Everyone laughed at the end of their mouth when choosing a word, sometimes releasing a smile that they couldn't bear.

Prime Minister Warren nodded, not seemingly wrong.

"In the meantime, I will dispatch a survey team to the valley without people.We will also try to surround them so that they cannot escape from the surroundings. "

"No, that's not enough."

"If it is a number of people, I will dispatch it so as not to miss it....."

"No, it's not."

With a strong tone, Silverado stood on the throne, went by a blank window, laid his hand on the glass, and looked down at the castle.

Eventually, with a clear anger voice.

"There is no killing without judgment.I will honor the moment and atone for my sins. "

His words are pointing.

"Whether or not there is room for commutation is not a matter of debate."

"Your Majesty, it seems that there was an error in my words, so please correct it."

He went to King's Landing to take Mutton's life, and after escaping, he took the life of an adventurer.

In addition to the monsters that could not normally be used, there are also shadows of monsters that can easily take the lives of many people.

In view of the planned escape, it is unlikely to reflect.

There was no argument that it was a small threat to Ishtalica.

So, what do we do?

The answer is, as Silverd said, to eliminate it.

"I will introduce a magic weapon.We will try to conduct the interrogation as much as possible, but if we cannot, we will organize the unit with the assumption that it will be handled securely. "

Everyone thinks that they should be interrogated, but it is a different question whether it will come true.

Above all, it is more important not to put the people at risk.

"The Attorney General (Duke of Forth) also said that the verdict does not make sense.As far as Lord Mutton knows, Visel has certainly committed murder to satisfy his own desires. "

"Yes, there are no circumstances to consider. No mercy is needed for the murder."

Silverd nods with satisfaction at Warren's voice and turns to everyone.

"Well then, except for Master Archer, Ain, and Warren."

Some people suddenly encountered the words, but without challenging others, everyone stayed behind.The three remaining men then went by Silverado's window and waited for his words, but Ain was the only one who stepped forward.

"I will."

I'll go.

I tried to tell Silverado.

But I was stretched out and restrained.

"I don't like it very much, but I'd like to ask Ain to lead me this time."

"Uh-oh, grandpa!?"

"Why are you surprised? I was just about to say it when I went there."

"Yes, I did!?But that's what my grandfather said...! "

In contrast to the astonishing Ain, Warren was convinced next door.

"Ein will interrogate you in the unlikely event."

I can do it with Shannon's power.

As long as they're alive, no exceptions.It doesn't matter if you're dying of a magic weapon.

I thought about this because I was worried about whether the mouths of the two people who fled thoroughly could be easily cracked, and it was also an indication that I wanted to hear the information as much as possible.

Increase the morale of the knights.

It was also a judgment because of Archer's words beforehand, but Silverado's mouth shrugged slightly.

"It takes five days for me to leave. Until then, the advance team will proceed with the investigation.Afterwards, I want you to transfer the command to Ain, who arrived, and start searching for the pair. "

"How can I go in five days?"

"I don't know what happens in five days, but I'm going to be away from the fairy child for a while.If you do, your smaller body will heal. "

"Ah, ahh... Sylvia said that too..."

Even a small body can fight, I wonder.

It shouldn't be too tight in the face of the investigation team.

"I'll go with you."

Here's what Archer said.He left the castle with that intention from the beginning and spoke without hesitation.

"Thank you from the rest. Thank you very much."

Silverado looks straight at Ain.

Ein, these two aren't just criminals.

"--- Yes"

"As you know, the royal family has to think about the worst and do everything in their power to avoid it.You know what happens in the worst case this time? "

The status quo is not yet so.

But if I let him go, I'll be there soon.

"It's easier to take a lot of lives."

By town, possibly by city.

This is what naming the name is, and the fact that it is kept secret is the ultimate punishment.

"I'd like to coordinate with the Kroner and the others right away, can I?"

"Don't be sudden."

"I don't mind. Actually, I'm starting to boil my stomach back even more than I'm showing my grandpa. ---Bye.

Ain managed to smile with a hard smile.

The slightly rough tone of voice is evidence that the shaking of the mind is close to its limit.

When Ain left, he lowered his head and stayed behind, but Silverd and Marco quietly waited for him.

Ain exhales in the hallway, "Phew..."

Would it be okay if I went?

And murmuring.

"I think it's okay. I think I've had dinner six times in the morning."

Krone, you've been waiting for me.

"Yes, I thought it would be more convenient if I stayed."

"As usual... even if you don't have to tell me, I know what you don't want to say."

When Ain walks out, she comes next door and walks out the same way.

Straighten your shoulders and head down the stairs.

But after confirming that no one had seen him, Krone held Ain's hand and stopped him, putting both hands on Ain's cheeks.

"I know exactly why you look like this.But I'm going to pay my respects, so I need to loosen it up a little bit. "

Ain't that right? Ain't that right? Ain't that right?

"... thank you for your help."

"Fufu, let me take care of you from now on."

The face that had been strong so far was loose, and my heart was calmed down.

Afterwards, Ain repaired the sympathy and headed down to Mutton, who said he was ill but looking well.
