My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop
Episode 399: Face-to-Face Inside a Residential District
Sakura and Noir dared to ride Algernon's invitation after getting lost for a little while.
Yeah, I bent my entry into a residential area that I kept refusing, because of an unexpected occurrence of an encounter with the daughter of an agnostic firekeeper, so it's hard to imagine I'm ready to lure her in and fit her into a trap.
Besides, since there is a public (snack) status of councillor in the bend, and the fact that we are here is conveyed to the administrator side, there was also the expectation that we would not have to be overly vigilant.
"It's painful to ask the young ladies out and seem to be able to serve lots of tea and sweets, but think they're just going to do the minimum step-by-step, so hang out with me."
While leading Algernon to the reception room, Sakura trifles to observe what's going on inside the wall.
Not only are tree dwellings common in Athlopolis, but there are also small warehouse-like buildings made of wood, similar to exterior walls.
It was also in sight that the men engaged in the loading of the luggage turned a vigilant eye on this one.
Is it suited to a second tier climate that can never be called warm, where everyone and everyone is wearing clothes that don't expose their skin, and yet even thick work gloves?
Because of that, I don't even get the certainty that I'm really human, not a demonic disguise, but at least I just think my face is human.
I went on to observe it even after entering the building, but there was nothing wrong with anyone else while I was walking down the hallway, let alone any sign of Bran showing up.
"While you can, you're moddly and evil."
As soon as he arrived in the reception room, Algernon poured the herbal tea available in the pot into three cups, urging Sakura and Noir to take one at a time.
After the two of them choose a cup, Algernon drinks up the remaining one contents at once, as if to indicate that it is not poisoned or otherwise.
"... hold on, give me..."
Now he slapped a ton of fingers around the cup that Noir had placed on the table, letting him create a magical stream like a simple magic formation.
"It's okay... not suspicious..."
"If that's what Lord Noir says."
After a thoughtful confirmation, Sakura also puts her mouth on the glass.
With Algernon grinning bitterly at the two vigilantes, he lowers his back to the chair across the street from the table.
Sakura cut the subject out of herself.
When I let this man grasp the pace of the conversation, he felt appropriately invisible without being able to ask what he wanted to hear.
"I read my father's diary left at the Duke of Kingswell's residence. According to this, you were able to control my father's rampant divine descent. What the hell means did you use?
"No diary?... Oh, no, you said, 'I lost it somewhere, so I'll have to look for it later' or something. Did you leave it at my parents' house? What this means is before the last dungeon entered…"
"Can you tell me?
Ask again without allowing derailment.
Algernon showed his troubled face and often thought about it before opening his mouth again.
"I'm sorry, I can't say more than an application of my skills. This is all classified. It also involves the backbone of my activities. I didn't tell Silanui how it worked."
"... right, I get it"
Sakura decided to cut any further pursuits.
Results are unlikely to be achieved when questioned, and it should be a harvest even if we were only able to elicit the statement that it is an application of Algernon's own skills.
Then Noir asks the next question.
"... Blanc, has been, uh, feeling...?
"No, that's it in the beginning... uh, what, you weren't cornered. You've been mentally weak for a long time. He's only gotten worse since the demon army showed up."
"Demon King Army... I knew it..."
"You either don't try to get out of here after, or you come about me going all the way out of town and trying to get out of town. Until then, I've been on the council with my help."
I guess there was some time lag between Bran, who vanished into the void in a summoning magic rampage, and the arrival of the defeated Demon King Army in Athlopolis.
The spirit of Blanc was still calm during that period, to the extent that Algernon was recognised by other councillors as a man who could obey, but the emergence of the Demon King's Army completely changed the situation.
"From what I've seen, the lady is Blanc's sister or something, isn't she? It's the mountains that make us meet, but then the person at the heart is in such a situation..."
"Dear Algernon!
All of a sudden, when I wondered if there was anger in the reception room, the girl I had just encountered stepped in anger as well.
"What do you mean by inviting outsiders in!
"Do it! Bad ladies, we're open for today!
In the form of being driven away by Algernon in a great panic, Sakura and Noir were also to jump out of their settlement there.
Apparently, in that, a relationship has been established between the councillors who represent human beings in Athlopolis and the people protected by them - a relationship that cannot be imagined from their previous reputation.
Sakura decided to look back at the clues obtained by the accidental visit, caring for the noir, whose breath rose because of her sudden run.
"Nevertheless, it was a strangely lifelike building. If you have the right number of people living in a large party… you may simply have a few tentative residents who are thoroughly cleaned and organized"
"Ha, ha, ha... residents, are... told, so much... so much, there wasn't, or...?
"I don't think the administrator will be the first to check the headcount. We should assume we've assigned a settlement after we've figured out how many people there are."
So it can be said that it is quite unlikely that the number of people who have applied to the administrator is in itself false.
Residents did have the number as applied for.
But the neighborhood has a sense of life - it feels like the air that humans live in is thin.
"And the herbal tea we got. He said it was a makeover placement, but the container is only one size for two or three people. If there's a lot of people living together, it's natural to have a lot more to make."
"... I mean, actually, somewhere else, living...?
"Maybe...... but that's also true if you tell me it was just before replenishing the make and put away, just cleaning up empty containers from time to time too...... ahhh!
Sakura scratched my black hair and looked up to heaven.
"It's grand in my head no matter how much I think about it. If you think it's suspicious, it looks suspicious, and if you don't think it's suspicious, it looks natural... It's a problem you can't solve by waving a sword...!
"And take it, it can't be... let's go back to everyone's... all kinds of opinions... I can ask, maybe..."
"... right. It is also called" like this ". It would be much better than having a head here."
I was originally just going to see how things went in the faraway winding, but I could get a bunch of unexpected harvests.
Sakura and Noir decided to go home first, breaking it off that reporting them would be a sufficient contribution.
