Ohanabatake no Maousama

"Yes, why did you think so?" Kuders asked, and Adelia frowned as if she had remembered something disgusting.

"It's because of that abominable tick. When the investigator's evil knights were attacked earlier, the cotton clothes they wore ... they were ruthlessly devoured, even underwear. She had no injuries. "And she uttered her reasoning.

"That means ... it's a herbivorous creature, it doesn't eat meat. Is it not?" That's right, when you react to cannabis, you don't get boned. Kuders nodded greatly to Adelia's answer.

"No, no, it's designed to eat only plant-based things. Livestock who accidentally ingested cannabis won't be attacked." "And that blood-like thing "It's a kind of decomposed mite that has multiplied. It's almost like fertilizer or something." "Yes, exactly."

Adelia's expression was completely sunk, in contrast to Kuders, who seemed happy to have finally noticed.

――Why didn't you notice? In the first place, a politician's insight into Kudels would not be able to create such a clear and dangerous creature.

No, why couldn't you believe Kudels? Perhaps, if they did, the answer would have been earlier. Originally, her disciple had to believe in Kouders more than anyone.

Then Darten, who was listening to him beside him, snapped an innocent tongue. "Then, isn't the surrender still alive?"

Certainly, if that bone is not a substitute, that possibility arises. However, Adelia does not respond to the ridiculous words spilled from Darten's mouth. Apparently she also reached "the truth".

"Speaking of which, Darten seemed to have noticed the truth before Adelia, but how did he notice?" Kuders asked Darten, as if she recalled suddenly. Darten shrugged his rugged shoulders and uttered a boring answer.

"It's a skeleton, big brother. I didn't know at first, but I always felt awkward in the beginning. Maybe it's a woman's bone as far as I can see. It's a different pelvis than a man's bone. Like me, I have a habit of imagining how to fight it from my body? "

While sighing with your mouth, if you look closely you can see that the edge of the lips is glossy. It seems a bit boasting that he noticed before Adelia.

"Well, I thought nobody would notice if they were the same height. Wouldn't it be incomplete just to repair the dead and dead bones around there?" Admiral Kuders, who brought you in from outside to deceive it, was Adelia who spoke to Kuders, who sighed and repented. And she breaks down, saying why Kudels used his deputy to pretend to be dead.

"... so that no one in this village would be killed. You did this trouble for that. Leader Kudels." Kudels nodded.

"That's right. I didn't want anyone to be a murderer, because it would only be such unhappiness. Such a loveless development is not my favorite."

However, the hate of the villagers was so great that they could not help but kill the deputy under the ongoing recovery efforts. This may lead to revenge in the form of a riot soon. But how can you prevent it in a way that villagers are convinced?

So Kudels came up with an idea. -Let the deputy die. Yes, let's just be dead. Because the dead can't be killed anymore.

There is no better way to extinguish revenge from the people in this village. And if it is an accidental death, no one will be guilty.

So that night Kudels went alone. Shortly before, at a bar in the village, a carefree young man, called the hero, declared that he was going to get drunk and kill his substitute.

Yes, in fact, most of the villagers knew from the beginning how to enter the room that Adelia and the others had derived. Even when such a thing is shut down and it becomes secret, it is remembered how the deputy was hated.

And if a deputy arrived, it would be decided to stay in the guest house of the village mayor. In addition, the deputy always locks into the room immediately, leaving no one in his room while enjoying cannabis.

Then, if there is a way to invade it, you can surely kill the deputy. He was a very specific killer, but from Kuders's eyes it was evident that if he did, he would return. A wolf returning from the battlefield and a lively sheep cannot be talked about from the beginning.

Therefore, Kudels ambushed a young man who attempted to assassinate his substitute on the day of the incident, depriving him of his consciousness and mode of transportation. He jumped into the room as the chief screamed, replaced the stunned chief's wrapper with a white-bone corpse, and threw the guilty corpse into the puddle where the mite corpse melted. The reason why the molten liquid of the mites did not adhere to the floor or ceiling of the room was that it belonged to Kudels, and that he could freely change its shape like a slime. That was all that night.

"Oh? Big brother. What happened when you escaped from the room? How much could you fly with a single balloon for two large adults?"

After listening to Kuders' explanation, Darten whispered his head. When I say something like "Ah ...", Kudels shows off like nothing.

"I didn't have to fly on the way back. I could slow down the spring slowly. I just jumped with my full power and landed as far away as possible. Nobody was suspicious." There should be no trace at all.

"... What a skill" It may be impossible for humans to do this, but Kudels's strength apart from humans can do that. With a slight dizziness, Adelia suddenly reminded her to ask about the trigger of the project.

"Speaking of which, I'm wondering what really started this weird thing. I can't even imagine the trigger at all. If it's okay ... even when did you come up with your plan? "

Then Kudels began talking about something she couldn't imagine.

"It was quite a while ago. One of the servants of the slave house came from this territory. When I met her for the first time, she was taught me the wrongdoing of this deputy."

No way, Adelaia opened her eyes in an unexpected way, at a trading house where she used to sleep.

But did the deputy take his hostage and shut his mouth? How did Kuders hear about that?

Then he began to explain, as if nothing.
