Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

"Kuhaha! Oh, my God, miss. You're telling me to fight me with such a luxurious body?

You're taking secret drugs - perhaps something that looks like drugs - and exalting them. Miguel laughing high, Sophia jumped silently.

Sink your torso and approach as you glide over the ground. The moment I flipped myself, I wielded the dagger I had hidden under my skirt without pulling through. A tall metal noise sounded continuously.

"Ha, isn't it early inside? But you're weak!

He takes a series of two dagger swords and Miguel waves his sword all in return. Sophia recieved it with a dagger and jumped back a lot.

I saw it and I was slightly surprised.

Because Sophia tends to read the other person's mind and poke a gap there. Take Sophia's first blow like that at risk. Because I've never seen anyone like that before.

"... Sophia, are you okay?

"I'm fine. Because my heart is so messed up and hard to read, but that's all."

"Oh, so what?"

Sofia's melee power far outweighs mine. But that's because you can read the other person's mind with grace and poke a gap.

An opponent who loses reason, on the contrary, is probably hard to fight.

If it's just pure sword moves... it's still better than me. It may be dangerous to let Sophia, sealed of grace, fight alone.

What a thought. Sophia hung up on Miguel again.

Stuff like crawling on the ground and aim for foot health without mistake. That's exactly the same attack as earlier. That is prevented as a matter of course.

But Sophia doesn't stop there.

Cross your hand with a dagger and rondart about the ground. That's what gymnasts do before Baku spins - and they flip instantly and attack from behind Miguel.

"Let it be!

Miguel, looking back, uses the recoil to wave his long sword across the side. The blow tore apart Sophia, who was just about to strike.

- And Miguel would have thought. But I actually just tore up a space where no one else was. Sophia has already left the scene. As Miguel turned around, he went further.

"I told you Sophia was weak... but your uncle is too late"

Sophia flashed a dagger to the left and right faster than she could finish saying so. Miguel sprinkles blood from the tendons of both hands and feet, collapsing without a rinse.

..................... Yep. If it wasn't beneficial, it seemed like it was information from the past to say it a little higher than me. I don't know if I can handle Sophia's movements right now, even spiritual magic.

"Brother Lion, I didn't kill you properly. I was powerless."

"Oh, well, thank you"

Sophia says pale... but amputates tendons in both hands and feet. With medical technology in this world, I feel like I can never move properly again.

... Yes, no, considering I was mad, a relatively peaceful ending -

"Well, we're going to torture you."

- It seemed premature to think.

"No, no, no, because I'm not going to torture you. Or I won't let you!?

I rush in to see if you meant the line earlier. Somehow, it's so crazy to speak plainly cruel words.

But...

"Brother Lion, you can say that because you haven't read this man's mind."

Sophia speaks out in an unchallenged voice. I understood what that meant, and I lost my word.

Maybe what Sophia said ‘hurt me' wasn't just in physical terms.

I mean, I was shocked when they killed the villagers. And I'm sure I'm even more shocked by the fact that you're about to find out. So Sophia went mad enough to lose me.

... Let's settle down a little.

I'll disarm Miguel and his men first to hear more about it. Tie it up and arrange it in the corner of the room.

Then trying to figure out what was going on outside, Elsa just arrived.

"Elsa, what happened out there?

"Eighteen in total. It's all powerless by Mr. Alice. We're just gathering in front of the house."

"Right. Then help me out over there. This is where we're going to talk."

"Yes, sir."

Elsa returns with a grace. I saw it, and I turned back to Sofia.

"Sophia, tell me. What did you find out?"

"... I think it's better not to ask, huh?

"I guess so. But I just don't want Sophia to feel bad. You disqualify your brother from just being protected by your sister, don't you?

"Brother Lion...... ok.... As I was saying, all the inhabitants of this village have been killed. And that's to take the place of the inhabitants of this village and attack the guests who stayed there."

"Right..."

All the carriages that were thought to have gone missing without arriving in the boarding town had been attacked in this village. And the killer, Karina said, was not a kind family.

Because they themselves had already been killed.

"You, how do you know that much?

Miguel, who was listening, asked Sophia in a slight hurry.

"You don't know that. Sophia's just reading your mind."

"No way...... do you (,,) have the benefit of reading your mind too!?

"... Huh? You're trying to hide something. Is there anything I can do to get you to know me through this period? Let me tell you what it is."

I guess you're going to touch Miguel and read your mind. Sophia starts walking towards Miguel. But that look on Sophia's face suddenly turned to amazement.

"Brother, this man, I think he's poisoned!

"- Become!?

I run to Miguel when he tells me. Miguel was starting to suffer by blowing bubbles.

"Is that the side effect of the guy who said something about the secret drug earlier?

"Ugh. Apart from that, it looks like he had poison in his mouth."

"For self-harm."

The antidote - there's no way you have it. Just like you did to Mr. Elise, would you make it if I washed your stomach? I don't know, but it would be worth a try.

"Sophia, I'll get Alice, so Sophia can pull whatever information she can."

"Okay, I'll try as much as I can."

I'm gonna get Sophia's reply. No, no, I'm gonna pop out and call Alice. Then I went right back to my room... Miguel had already run out.

"Sophia, did you get any information? - Sophia? What's up, are you okay!?

There is sweat on Sophia's forehead as she sits down. Realizing that, I rushed over and held that luxurious body.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just got a little sick because I read the other guy's mind that's going crazy, so..."

"Right. I'm sorry, I can't."

The benefit of reading Sophia's mind is powerful, but it also has the disadvantage of the spirit being dragged away.

I shouldn't have asked you to read it easily. Turn to me regretting it that way, Sophia is powerless - but turns a gentle smile on me.

"It's okay, Lion, brother. Sophia is happy to help you, Lion. Besides, it was Sophia's fault that I didn't realize I was poisoning you."

"... no, Sophia's not bad"

From the time Sophia knocked him down until he restrained him, he didn't show a bare gesture of drinking poison. If so, it would have been before I had the poison in my mouth. If you noticed, it must have been too late.

"Unfortunately, I'll tell you what I know. Looks like Miguel was trying to steal technology."

"Technology? But all of our technology should be out there."

"Yeah. So I thought I'd explore what that means..."

I would say I didn't make it. Unfortunately, it is also something we have no choice in. I held Sophia up, "Get some rest in the carriage," he said.

"Wow...... a princess hug. Are you taking me to bed like this?

"... if that's all right, you can walk yourself, okay?

"Eh heh, I won't tell you anymore, so I hope you carry me in your princess's arms"

"Yes, yes, princess"

Sophia looks sweet, but that look is still bitter. Probably cares not to worry about me.

So I laugh and take Sophia to the carriage where she's parked outside.

"By the way... what do you do with your brother, Lion?

"I'll interrogate the others."

"Then I'll help Sophia too."

"No, I'll call you if I need you for the last time. So rest till then."

Until now, I had relied too much on Sofia's favor because it was convenient for interrogation. Unless it's an emergency, we should probably interrogate them normally and have them checked later.

That's why I sent Sophia to the carriage.

Then I gathered the captured men into the village square for questioning. Of course, I checked to see if he was in possession of the poison.

Under the pounding rain, I begin their interrogation.

"Now, who's your owner?

I ask the man who was with Miguel. He looked terribly frightened, either because he saw Miguel poisoned himself.

"Oh, I don't know anything"

"It's no use hiding it. You know there's a beneficent owner over here who reads his mind, right?

"That's... hey, you're the Count of Granchez, aren't you?

"Then what?

"I'll be honest with you, lighten up your sins"

"- You think that makes sense!?

Elsa, who was holding back beside him, roughed up her voice. It's rare to block my conversation - or maybe for the first time. I guess I can't get to my stomach by then.

I know exactly how that feels, and I feel the same way. But I dared to order Elsa to refrain. Once again, he returns his gaze to the interrogator.

"If you're going to be cooperative, promise me you'll have mercy"

"... wouldn't it be true?

"Oh. I keep my word. Granchez, I swear by the name of my lord."

"... ok. So, what do you want to hear?

I appreciate the honesty... but you don't seem to expect much. If this guy knew all sorts of things, he wouldn't leave a guy with such a light mouth and one Miguel would not commit poisoning himself.

That said, there must still be something to know. Let's start by asking if you're going to be honest with me, combined with what I mean by confirmation, from what I know.

"First...... right. What's your purpose? How did you hit the deal carriage?

"I don't. I was just following Miguel's husband."

"What do you mean you don't know? Aren't you guys one of them?

I think so and ask for more information. Apparently, they were just a bunch of slums, hired by Miguel to follow orders.

After all, Miguel seemed to be the only one connected to the mastermind.

"- So we were just moving as Miguel ordered. Nothing's wrong!

As in tune with that word, so does the rest of them. That's right, my voice goes up. Of course, I thought there was a reason for that - but until I finished listening, I would hold my fist and put up with it.

"You guys attacked the deal carriage, and you stole the rails, right?

"Oh, yeah. On Miguel's orders."

"So, what happened to the loot?

"We talked about not needing people anymore, so we ended them all. The carriage was dismantled, put on another carriage and carried out with the other loads. I don't know where I'm going."

"Right..."

I was ready at the time to kill all the villagers, but there's still no survival, is there? Sophia shouldn't want to say it. I really don't feel well.

"Hey. Now I've told you everything I know. You're gonna lighten up our sins, aren't you?

"Right...... just let me hear one more thing before then. How did you guys get this job? I don't know how much you got, but you knew it was over when they caught you, didn't you?

"That's because it was Granchez territory doing the job."

I have a terrible feeling about it. But you can't just not ask. I asked what that meant, being so annoyed by the grid.

Fulfilling...

"Because Granchez territory treats sinners sweeter than other territories"

The words told were words that make an unpleasant hunch a reality thing.

"Working evil here makes sin lighter. That's what you thought, huh?

"Oh. This one time. 'Cause you let the criminal slave go, didn't you?

"... right"

That's about Mr. Garrett and the others.

I have no regrets for letting them go. Because they had plenty of room for extenuating circumstances, and that was the result of rewarding them accordingly.

But where I should have tightened it, I should have. At the very least, it should have been declared to be a firm attitude towards felons who have no margin of circumstance.

This one... is the result of my sweetness.

I curse my shallowness and look up at the sky silently. The rain at the beginning of the descent gradually gained momentum, replacing it with soil and sand at some point.

"Hey, hey, I told you everything you told me! So lighten up your sins!

Roll up selfishness. Hearing a man like that, I pay for wet rain grains in my eyes. So slowly, I turned my gaze to the sinners.

"... right. As promised, have mercy"

You hear my words, and you get a relief look on everyone's face.

That's why I speak mercilessly towards them. "I will let you choose who you like, whether you will be crushed to death as a criminal slave, or accept a tranquil death" -.

"Hey, what are you talking about?

"In the territory I inspected, there was a shortage of personnel to dig the mine. If I were you, I'd have you working there till I died... but you guys were cooperative in my interrogation. That's why I'm telling you I'll let you choose a merciful death."

"Huh, don't be ridiculous! That's a different deal, isn't it?

"It's not. Given your sins, it's a broken response. Or what? You kept dozens of innocent people dead, and you thought that would all be forgiven?

"Well, that's... but the Granchez realm is sweet against sinners..."

"I don't know what you're mistaken about, but I'm not going to be sweet on criminals. I was just trying not to be outrageous just because I was a criminal."

The treatment of sinners in this world is a mess. Banditry and merciless robbery and murder like these guys that I had no choice but to live with, like Mr. Garrett.

There's no big difference in how you treat them after you catch them.

So I was just changing my mind depending on the circumstances. There is no shard in my intention to treat these guys who killed all villagers and merchants without any sin, just like Mr. Garrett and the others.

"Now choose. Here to die in peace, or choose a harder life than death."

... In the end, only three chose to die.

With that number of people, there would be no impediment to later interrogations. That's what I decided. I waved my long sword three times under the rain.

It was the first moment I killed a man with my own hands.

The sinners transported them to the nearby boarding town, where they ran a fast horse to the city of Mullet to request backup. Depositing the sinners with the knights who rushed the next day, we decided to return to the city of Mullet one foot away.

I captured the killer who was making a scene in the streets and got a lot closer to my goal. That said, I don't feel happy to let go. It's not just the rain that keeps falling that makes me feel heavy.

Even though he was a sinner, it was because he took all three lives with his own hands.

As the head of the Count family, indirectly taking the life of a sinner has never happened before. So I thought one day this would come.

But it's really sudden, and my senses when I wave my sword still don't go away.

"Brother Lion, are you okay?

"Honestly, it's a little spicy"

"... if it's hard, you don't have to. If your brother can't stand it, Sophia will take it from here on out."

For a moment I didn't know what you were talking about. But I opened my eyes when I understood that it was about the earlier acquittal.

"What are you talking about? You can't let that happen."

"Even Sophia doesn't want to kill people if she can. But that's why I have to kill you. Because it might be someone you care about who gets killed instead."

"It's..."

You may indeed be right. No, you were right. In this case, it would be no exaggeration to say that my sweetness has invited me.

And as a result, Karina's homeland was destroyed. It could be Liana or Tina's home town next. On the contrary, they have their own potential.

I do not know if it is right or permissible for a person to punish a person. But it was necessary to avoid repeating the tragedy. It doesn't matter if that's right or not.

... Oh, my God, it would be easier if I could break it off like that. At least, I'm not going to be able to break it off because it was necessary.

But... I ran an expedition and told Karina what was going on, and she seemed to be crying. When I think about her like that, I feel really sorry for her.

A tragedy I could have prevented if I had responded resolutely. So there's no reason to repeat it. More importantly, if I had a weak voice, Sophia would really take the place.

Alice or Claire. I'm sure it's the same.

So I tell myself that was necessary. Repeating that, Alice, sitting opposite Sophia, squeezed my hand tightly.

"... Alice?

"Lyon's not alone. So you don't have to suffer alone."

- Sophia's here.

Gyu, Sophia's hugging me. And Liana, who was sitting in the seat across the street, goes on modestly, "Wow, I'm here too".

"... thanks, guys"

My heart only lightened a little when I was told I didn't have to suffer alone. Besides... this is nothing compared to the sadness of losing someone dear.

- And, well, I just got a little back on my mind. That's how I came back in front of the mansion. Tina was soaking wet under the rain.

"... Tina? What the hell's going on in there?

"Dear Lion, Actually... Master Claire. Lady Claire..."

Squeeze in a voice that is about to be turned off by the rain.

What Tina told me was to put a chase on my spirit - it was an incredible word.
