72: Mythology Daiichi 5 - About Ellis

After the fire at the weaving cabin, they gathered in the central wing of Vabel for a meeting.

The girl is terribly saddened and all three of them are resting now.

Knowing and confirming this time, the men were making the gathering look stronger.

"It was Ellis who burned the weaving cabin. Definitely."

Acromeia affirmed.

I thought everyone might, but the first thing I said was Acromeia.

"Do you have proof that Ellis is here?"

Tritania puts her fingers together behind her head and asks, looking a little careless.

"Evidence? There's no evidence, but we know someone burned that cabin, enough proof. Because we're the only ones in this world."

Acromeia's decision was quick.

"Even Ellis makes up her mind?

"Aside from him, who would do that? It seems Ellis has always cared about the weaving cabin."

"No, I don't get it. Something triggered the fire and maybe the cabin burned. Fast to decide."

A careful crondor puts a one-cushion on making the decision to say Ellis is the killer.

"Hadefis, did Psima say anything?

And he turned to me and asked.

I was quietly watching where the meeting went, but that reminds me of what Pushma told me.

"Psima said... something was thrown into the cabin and it exploded and went on fire,"

"What?"

"If we can find it, we might know what's causing it."

That's all I suggested, and I reconsidered. Should we ask the girls a little more about what was going on then?

It's just that Acromeia puts her fingers together on her desk and says, "It's definitely Ellis at that point".

"Ellis is the one who can make“ things "that are used by small craftsmen who say so. Small explosives, that's what I'm good at."

"Though that may be..."

Utice gets a strange look.

"Why would Ellis do this? If it's Ellis, then what do we do with him..."

It's a confusing and hidden word.

That Utice is troubling me, so maybe this is quite complicated.

But Acromeia seemed to solidify her will.

"I've decided to do that. Catch Ellis and punish him"

"... Huh!?

To boulders. Everyone is surprised by this word and shows their own reaction.

Klondor asks Acromeia's words to wait a minute.

"Punishment... what are you going to do, Acromeia"

"Build a hut and lock it up. Until he reflects. In short, you're in jail."

"Imprisoned...?

"If we don't do that, he can always expect to see us sweet and act escalating. Pranks are no longer allowed in pranks. He's a coward. Aimed at the weak girl, I burned down the cabin. If I did poorly, the three of them could have died. Even prison is a sweet punishment."

"Well, that may be true, but it hasn't been decided yet that it's Ellis"

Acromeia looked at Klondor tightly sideways.

"... Klondor, you're sweet"

And out of sight.

"In this way, Ellis could be fleeing far, even while we were discussing it at length. This time it happened that you guys sensed the fire in the cabin and who might not have had to die, but if you heckled, it was also possible that Magiliva died. If that were the case, would you have said such a long story?"

"... it's..."

Klondor, who helped Magiliva, was stuck in words.

Sure, what Acromeia says makes sense.

But Utice said, "Let's calm down," and set the air on the field.

"I wonder if what Klondor is saying is to say, to be sure by assumption, it's early. Although Ellis does cause a lot of problems and some trouble, I don't think I needed to hurt a girl. 'Cause if we have an opinion... what did they do to Ellis?"

"It's not whether it's harmful or not. They're after the weak."

To Utice's words, Acromeia said forcefully. It's like saying that's normal.

Acromeia never hides her anger.

But it also seems calm somewhere.

A little silence was achieved.

"... I don't think there's much point in targeting girls this time either. Well, I don't know if Ellis is going to bring him to justice even though there's no evidence that he did it."

Tritania was partly convinced of what Acromeia said and said, "What do you think?," he asked me.

I didn't get it.

In this situation, where there is no country, no law, and few people judge, I did not expect a situation to come in which someone had to be tried.

"Anyway, don't you have to meet Ellis and listen...? Strange creatures are born, and they seem to roam, and it's dangerous to be alone."

"Strange creature?

"Oh. I saw it when I went into the investigation with Krondor.... hey."

Everyone cared about the "strange creature”.

When I threw him at Klondor, he said, "Oh, you had a big one," too.

"I just don't know what that is. It was like a shadow...... something big anyway. We need to investigate."

"... I do like that, too. But now it's Ellis. We have to find Ellis."

Acromeia went back and said what she should do in the future.

Surely, if this is an extension of the prank by Ellis, it's not acceptable.

Even me, it was hiccups, and I would have been terribly depressed if someone was dead.

But, for example, talk.

I wonder who among us has the right to judge someone for killing them.

Who will forgive it and who will blame it?

"... Magiliva?

It was when I was about to return from the central building where I was meeting to the deepest tower where I had my residence.

Magiliva was waiting for us to come out.

Magiliva was burning all over the place, and he was being cared for, but he's already standing tight.

But he looked worried somewhere.

"Magiliva. Are you okay now?

"Hey, shouldn't you be wandering around a lot?

"Don't you feel bad?

Klondor, Tritania, and Utis were speaking out loudly to care.

Maguiri Va said, "It's okay," and he has a temperamental attitude.

When he noticed me in the back, he stopped in like a hack.

"Thank you Hadefis. You must have helped Pushma and Demeteris, right?

"... even though I said I helped, those two had originally left the cabin..."

I didn't do anything brave, like Klondor.

Trying to say that, I kind of stuck with words.

"But Demetris and Pushma said it was nice of you to be here. Something I think so, too....... thank you so much"

She thanked me so much, and now she was going to ask Acromeia what was going on.

Klondor walked in there and gave an explanation, but Magiliva was so amused from the edge that she stood aside against Klondor.

I honestly thanked her, but I couldn't tell Klondor who helped me. I thought she seemed like her, but Klondor didn't seem to notice where she was.

The investigation of the burned weaving shed then proceeded and it was found that what was thrown in was like a black, round bomb.

It's a small metal shape that Ellis specializes in.

Ellis was captured hiding in a cave over the forest.

He was dragged back to Vabel, but he denied any involvement in this case.

"Don't be ridiculous! Where is the proof I did it!! You just want to get rid of me because I'm in the way!!

And when he had said so, he was put in the prison of Klondor.

Apparently, Acromeia was tightly interrogating him, but Ellis didn't try to admit to this case.

Plumping and not eating, he gradually goes weak.

But my eyes were glittering, and my hatred for us was growing day by day.

Now, when this happens, there's a question that comes to each of us that was just a child.

Is it true that that incident was committed by Ellis?

If I'm wrong, it's a hell of a thing. It would be a terrible thing to do to one of our only nine people.

It was when everyone was eating in a tingly atmosphere somewhere.

"Hey... let me get Ellis out for you"

The first person to say that was Pushma.

She couldn't seem to watch Ellis go weak.

"Ellis, it's really hard. What I was crying about in the corner of my room when I took my meal last time. That's pathetic."

"There is nothing more foolish than pity for sinners."

But Acromeia never accepted it.

Indeed, forgiving Ellis here creates problems for the future order.

Even if it's only nine people, there are some disagreements. A community is formed here.

In the future, when laying down various rules, this time will become a major criterion.

Therefore, there is no compromise even for Acromeia.

"Ellis is the killer and there's no mistake. There would have been a lot of bombs thrown into the loom cabin in the rock hole where he was. He may have been trying to intimidate us with that. He's dangerous."

"But what if I'm wrong, Acromeia? How can we take responsibility for Ellis? There's no law here, there's no judge. By what standards are we punishing him?"

Klondor was pale, but seemed to choose the words carefully.

Probably Klondor knows. You must be pretty sure in Ellis.

Indeed, there were a lot of metal weapons in the rock hole that Ellis was pulling on that he didn't know what the hell he was going to use for.

I knew I was very good at making things to say that, and just saying Ellis was in possession, I do have a bad feeling about it.

But gradually the opinion began to emerge that Ellis should be taken out of prison, and everyone began to be confused.

Arbitrary acromeia and the crondor that raises the issue.

A gentle psyma who wants you to forgive Ellis.

Which opinion is correct... I don't know that.

If you knew, you didn't come to this place.

I didn't like strife, I didn't like sadness, I came here for freedom, but freedom brought strife again.

After all, something must have gone wrong somewhere.

Ellis, in the end, did not admit to the matter of the weaving shed until the end.

And then he pushed through Krondor's created cage with some force and escaped.

The cage was made as if it had been devoured by a great beast.

It's hard to believe that Ellis was the only one who did this.

It may be said that the collapse was truly unlikely.

I left Vabel for a while to find Ellis.

The women put together their clothes and preserved food, and the boys explored Ellis' escaped footprints to meet on which side of the wilderness they should head through Vabel.

The next day we travel, the night of the day.

A strange black shadow appeared surrounding Vabel, where we live.

The first encounter with it was with Tritania.

I found something black and huge fluttering outside as he tried to pick up his things from the central building and into his building.

"Hey!! There's something out there!!

And then he came back to the central building in a hurry and let us know.

Me and Klondor immediately figured out what it was, but the others go look outside to make sure.

It was like a shadow, like some kind of beast.

Even though there is no reality, it only has a contour, and it screams like a corpse.

I thought it must have been something Krondor and I had seen before.

"What... that..."

"That's it. It's something I recently surrendered."

Everyone could not understand the shadow that existed there, and was stunned.

What the hell were they?

We don't know yet at this time.

"Hahahahahahaha!!! Hahahahahahaha!! I will kill all of you!!!

Somewhere, with an unstable laugh, Ellis' voice was heard.

Ellis set these guys up?

Shit, they all fled to the back of the central building, but they eventually broke down the building walls and found us.

When “they” found us, we were easily captured, torn, and swallowed.

There may have been some pain.

I heard screams from all over, I heard voices calling someone's name, and I heard voices asking for help.

It was as if the wild beast were going to feed on it.

At that point, we weren't at the top of this mayday pyramid of the food chain.

That's what I understand.

It really wasn't long.

When I was blinking, it was dark in front of me.

Now that I think about it, I guess that meant game over.

But when they say we're dead, they don't.

We didn't die, we just forced Mayday to start over.
