Episode 16

The Lünhite defense battle has ended without a hitch, but post-war processing is still more troublesome than battle.

Most of the residents do not know what happened, but they seem to have noticed that there was a fight outside.

The power that is hostile to the Demon Army is, of course, human.

Of course, you have noticed that we killed humans in battle.

From our point of view, even in a legitimate war, there is no difference in civil sentiment that "monsters are killing humans." It's a little different from human war.

Well, what happened?

I see my men bury the war dead outside the walls. Yeah, a very good grave.

I just wanted to make one of the tombstones ... Not too much. Is this the difference between a werewolf and a human?

I'll talk to the town's masonry association later.

I joined hands with the enemy soldiers who were alive and fighting a while ago, and headed to the palace house.

Oops, let's get back to human form soon.

As soon as I returned to the palace house, an angry call calling me roared.

"Weid!"

It's Fern-Sister who comes to me while dragging the Gurney brothers.

It's probably been ten years since I saw her so angry. What happened

"Sit down, Weid!"

Oh, am I angry?

I don't know why, but I can't resist Fern.

As I was told, I sat on a chair and looked up at her.

"What happened?"

"What's wrong, what's wrong!"

Fern hits her desk. Gurney, clinging to his right hand, was swung around.

`` Weid-kun rushed into the enemy in the previous battle !? ''

"Oh, oh"

I nod.

Soon Fern's eyes glanced at me.

"Don't let the commander go into a fierce battle! If there's something about Waid, who will move the skeleton soldier?"

That's true. I had completely forgotten to take care of my soldiers.

Apparently, since she was reincarnated as a werewolf, she seems to be overexcited when fighting.

Despite having the memory of the previous life, this brain is the brain of a werewolf, so I wonder if adrenaline-like is in Davadova. Interesting.

"Are you listening?"

"Oh, yes, I'm listening!"

I stretch out my back and respond involuntarily with honorifics.

Fern-Sister came closer to me, dragging the mighty Gurney brothers left and right.

"You're no longer a neighborhood boy, aren't you? We're our boss."

"Oh ... sure."

It's completely my mistake.

Looking at my face, Fern-sister relaxes her speech.

"Take care, really. Weid is the only one. We don't know how to treat humans ..."

Certainly, if I am gone, no one will take over the current occupation policy. You can easily imagine what will happen.

So I bowed again to Fern-sister.

"I'm sorry, Fern. I was careless.

"Yeah, leave it to us to fight."

Fern-sister finally smiled.

It was a bright smile like the summer sun.

Anyway, the person in charge is troublesome ...

It seems that Sir Captain Fern's anger has subsided, and I will resume my work. There is something that has to be done in a hurry.

"Well ... that's the men caught in the basement?"

Then Gurney nodded.

"Oh, six in all. I was locked in a separate room as I was told."

"Thank you.

"It's Monza Corps."

Monza would definitely be fine. If I make a werewolf secret police, let him be the secretary. That's that type.

When I got up, I instructed them.

"Okay, I'll be interrogating. Don't put the keeper in the basement until then."

"Is that my turn?"

Fern grew greatly and showed a guts pose.

"I feel like I'm the next big thing after Weid-kun.

"I'll ask you."

Now, let's head to the basement.

"Oh, captain"

Monza, sitting on the steps of the basement, looked back at me.

"Do you question?"

"I'll do it. Ask the clerk."

"Ok"

We leave the lookout here to the other three and we'll start interrogating.

I pulled the oldest man out of the six and started interrogating in a room underground.

Is it a place of forties? The dress is neat and the fabric of the clothes is not luxurious but good.

"Name is?"

There is no reply.

That's fine if you don't want to say it. If you look like this, you should have a good life at Lünheit. If you ask someone, you know.

"Monza, do you know if you take this guy out to the city square and make it an exposed person?"

Monza seemed to understand my intentions and responded slowly, spinning the pen.

"Why don't you kill this person and ask the next person? Time is wasted."

"HM"

The man is expressionless, but smells of sweat slowly. The smell of fear.

I decided to scare a little more.

"If you kill him anyway, let's check out his family."

That's all I said, but the complexion of the man changes visibly. The smell of fear increased sharply.

I saw this scene in a movie I saw in my previous life. I didn't think I would end up doing it ...

After scaring me a lot, I told quietly.

"Was you going to kill the werewolf? If you don't answer, I'll kill you here."

This is not a threat. If you don't make concessions, ask the next one.

The man opens his mouth and closes again after expressing his distress. Then he opened his mouth again and replied,

"Chi ... no."

"So what was the purpose? If you don't answer, I'll kill you here."

The man also barely answers, after hesitation.

"I just went to see him ..."

"I'm terrible to lie. I'll kill you."

Monza mutters at the best time, and the man becomes frightened. I'm getting scared of Monza.

If Monza is a villain, I can play a good guy. It's just right time.

"Wait, Monza. They haven't done anything yet. If you're cooperative, there's no reason to kill."

"But I'm not cooperative ... how about killing him from his family?"

"Calm down, that's no reason"

I don't know how serious it is, but the man is scared by Monza's attitude. Probably there is a wife and child. That should be more important than your own life.

I said to the man, softening her expression.

"You went to look outside with a silver knife to cut the letter from, right?"

"Oh, oh"

The man nodded, nodding while looking at my complexion. That's what he said at the time of his detention.

I smile.

"Well, why wouldn't you give your name?-Is that really the case, will the Demon King kill or kill Lynhite citizens?"

If you still don't give yourself a name, you're doing something you can't give yourself. Just judge and punish.

He didn't seem stupid, and opened his heavy mouth.

"Kozun .... I'm Kozun of Lafort Shokai .... I'm a branch manager in Nishi-ku."

Speaking of Lafort firm, he is a leading member of the Chamber of Commerce. Hired store manager there?

Alright, so let's talk a little more.

Once you open your mouth, a human who has lost fear is fragile. Judgment of how much to keep silent is crazy.

"A shop in Nishi Ward is an imported grocery store with that yellow roof. Is it a conscientious and good shop, the caravans' dogs praised it?"

"Thank you ..."

Have a chat and loosen his heart little by little.

Behind me, Monza must have a nasty look. You can tell from the expression of a man.

"The Lafort Chamber of Commerce is a great helper in maintaining security at Lünheit. Thank you."

I imply that your employer is under my control. If you're a hired store manager, you won't turn to your employer.

I ask the man after giving enough pressure as ruler.

"Ask again, didn't you really intend to hit the werewolf?"

"No, not! I didn't mean that!"

The first silence seemed to blow away, and the man nodded in a hurry.

I smile.

"Then, the Demon Army does nothing to you, your family and your workplace."

Conversely, if you're doing anything, it's like threatening to kill your whole family, but that much intimidation would be acceptable. We are the rulers.

I keep this with a smile.

"In that case, let's get home right away. Just misunderstanding was really good."

I hit the shoulder of a man with a still scared face and decided to finish the interrogation.

Finally, let's stab only the nail.

"Yes, I'll return the silver knife. It's an important asset. Don't carry it too much so you don't lose it?"

The true meaning is, of course, "I don't wander with such things." The man nodded immediately, nodding.

This should have been a bit disciplined. If you are not disciplined, you will really kill next.

I'm reluctant, but I also got a villain on the board ...
