Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

Then after a while......

"... mmm...?

Shaking his head to the side, the old man wakes up.

I didn't unexpectedly burst out of nowhere, and after checking closely the surrounding sights, I looked at each of our faces and sighed.

"... you're not going to giant?

Unexpectedly, he asked, the old man shook his head to the side,

"I don't know how long it's been since I passed out... but you've been taking care of something. Otherwise, I have my life. I can't explain. I won't waste it."

I said that.

You seem to be well aware of the situation, and I can tell you it's a boulder.

"Don't talk fast and help. But let me explain... Giant cannot be done without permission. And you can lie to us. What do you say?"

That's what Lorraine told me, and the old man thought I'd just give it a try,

"... Ngu...!

And I invested in places I wasn't sure where.

We don't really know what the principle is that alien energy activates, but when we do giant, or some giant... I wonder where that might have triggered it.

Well, it could be just a routine and it doesn't make much sense.

But anyway, you seem to understand that what we're saying is right.

The old man, again, sighed,

"... it sure doesn't seem possible. I'm no different from the old people around here. Wouldn't you mind lifting this restraint for me?

Say that.

To the old man, Lorraine is restrained by witchcraft, which inhibits his behavior, but the old man says untie it.

But Augley says to this.

"Looks like I'm returning your word, Grandpa. You're not half as strong as you are. If you take that off, you're still gonna bust out, right? I can't take it off."

In fact, I guess the old man tried to say it for it.

"... at all. I don't care if you're a little alarmed."

And sniffled is proof of that.

I'm really a grandfather with no alarm or gap, but let's just say I find out that there doesn't seem to be anything he can do in this state on the boulder either.

Then the old man stares at us and says:

"So? That's how you took my life. Do you have something to ask me? Why don't you just ask?"

It's such a disgraceful thing to say that you don't know which one is being caught, but you don't even know how it feels to reopen it if you can't do anything with it so far in complete captivity.

"... you're an old man in crazy shape. Well, fine. Then let me ask you straight in. Why did you aim at us? Including Goblin and Sai Lane."

"Let's hear it really straight... but we can't talk... oh, this is impossible. I can't shut up. The reason is simple. Lord, you've been invited to the Second Princess, haven't you? That's it."

The old man seems to have tried a little hard, but he couldn't because he said, "Why don't you shut up?"

Speak honestly.

When a magic contract supposedly tells a question without lying and silence and cannot penetrate it again, it seems that it feels rather strange to try to force it to remain silent.

I've never been hit, but I don't want to tell you, but it feels like my mouth is turning.

I'd like to go through it about once, but that would be when they put me in a pretty dangerous position, and I'd like to give you a break.

Still, is that the reason?

"... ha. Again? But... to that extent? To be honest, all we've been doing is talking a little bit and drinking tea. That's not enough for a monster like you to have any number of lives."

I may not be wrong if I skip all the details and explain.

Speaking of questions, I don't really need to give this old man any information, and if I tell him one thing, he's an old man who's going to guess.

I guess this is the way to put it, with as little information as possible to give.

But the old man says.

"I know what it's like to be blurry, but I generally understand the conversation you have with the Second Princess. Didn't I tell you about the Wang Wand? And of course, about Your Majesty's capacity..."

"What are you talking about?

"It's no use. By and large, we wouldn't have come here if we didn't know that... Daita, you've been named the transporter of the remanufactured Wang Wand, right? That's all I can do. But that princess used to find adventurers like this. The blind ones were suppressed..."

Exactly what I told you, but it's subtly off.

It's true that the princess went to ask for the making of the Wang Wand, but she doesn't seem to know that she was conditioned and hasn't ended up asking for it, nor does she know about us, or about what the prophecy was told.

But yet, how do you know?

I don't think there were any magic props like eavesdropping...

I'm looking into the boulder, I think.

You'll notice with Lorraine.

Lorraine seemed to have somehow speculated on this and asks the old man.

"... did you even hire an occupier? That's pretty accurate too..."

"Well, you know better. Looks like a hundred shots. In fact, I got a look at my past to try, but I figured this out pretty fine, too. Well, still, there was a deviation... but anyway, it's clear that your lords are dangerous people. We had a deal to kill you."

The prophecy that High Elf told the princess. As you can see from all this, there are occupiers who can see the future and the past.

Besides, he's the one who actually hits it.

However, they are often treated as petitioners because it is difficult to discern inside about its authenticity.

That would mean that the old man's employer succeeded in hiring an occupier who was not a pettener.

It's a lucky thing.

However, what I don't know about the important part in the end... why not?

Even the fortune teller would have liked to know there, and I think he divined...

Well, can't you even think about it?

It's just that it's not an old story.

I don't have the power of fortune about the gods intervening, you know.

This time, the High Elf prophecy is involved.

I mean, it's a holy tree.

That seems to be close to God, and that's probably why I could only divine it in half.

Lorraine asked, and most importantly.

"So, who is the man who did this to you after all?
