Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 423: Name Detective Again
"Mr. Orto, the magic you used earlier... that's fire magic. That's pretty high-end magic, too, isn't it?
…………
Orto is staring at us silently. Scary face. That's enough expression to feel insane.
"Dear Linos, how long is that fire magic LV?
"... I think it's called LV4"
Orto's eyes opened slightly. Apparently, it's a picture star. The big difference between fire magic LV4 and LV5 is whether you can compress magic. Orto had produced super-high temperatures of flames, but had not been able to control all their power. If I were to do it, I would attack with a compressed little super hot flame. Because if we do not, we risk involving King Elf. Unless the king has a high junction LV.
"LV4 means it's pretty hot, right?
"Right. Don't let the water evaporate in an instant."
"Good answer."
Sidi nodded loudly, not saying she got my will. And turn to Orto again. At the same time, he turned his back on Kurli. And then the soldiers who were around try to make a move...... stop. When I'm wondering what the hell is going on, I'm staring at a point where all of them have a gaze. Moving his gaze there, King Elf is raising his right hand and posing to stop something.
As he stood, he turned his gaze to us softly and nodded cocklessly. Apparently, he's urging us to continue our conversation. The atmosphere emanating from him feels angry. He seems puzzled and angry at the fact that his men may have killed his compatriots.
Orto is squeezing his right hand together with a look like he's eating up his teeth. Are you accumulating magic...... Magic detection doesn't work, so I can't know how it goes. But perhaps his magic is the best in LV4. Think of it, you can't break my bond. You can't attack with magic. Thinking about it made my mind a little easier.
"What to say in people's minutes! How far do you think you can take me? What the hell do you mean, I killed Leila?
Orto's words are cluttered. The expression is completely distorted. It's like saying I'm the killer already.
"You told me that Mr. Leila was killed when he was slammed in the side. That's exactly what only the killer knows. You know that..."
"Yes!"
When he shouted so, he grabbed the sword he was wearing on his hips and raised it high.
"If you doubt it, you should examine my sword! Does this sword have Leila's blood on it! You smell like abominable blood! You should check it out!
"No need"
"What!
"It's about you, smart, and careful. You didn't use that sword, did you?
"Nah..."
"If you use your sword to slash, the blood will splash and you will also return and bathe in blood. Oh, depending on how you do it, is there a way you don't? But with a sword, you can spill a blade saying what's wrong, and it smells like blood, so you can't hide it, can you? So much thought. You figured out a way to kill Mr. Leila without using your sword, didn't you?
…………
"You used pointy ice, didn't you?
Orto's body trembles in a freak.
"I killed Mr. Leila with an ice murder weapon, and soon melted that ice with your fire magic. This will succeed in obliterating the murder weapon, right?
"Nah... chi... chi..."
"You've thought about it. The easiest thing to hide evidence in this... With ice, if in your hands, you can erase it without a trace in just a few seconds. The question is, how did you make it...... Well, there will be a lot of people in the elves who can manipulate water magic. I just want that person to make it...... It's about you. If you ask someone else, you could be betrayed. So you'll procure your own ice murder weapon. Well, if I were you... I would use Tulara"
Orto's eyes are moving pimply. He has been completely consolidated since the beginning. Sidi looks at that with a cold smile on her face.
"Is it a drawing star? Apparently."
With that said, she turns back to King Elf and breaks her hips softly.
"I have a favor to ask of King Elf. My reasoning will be more than that. Master Orto, who is kept here. I know it's extremely likely that he was the one who killed Mr. Leila. It will be difficult to prove that the murder weapon that led to her death is probably obliterated...... But if you used Tulara, look into the junctions that are stretched in here. Outside the junction, there should be some tulara. In one of them, I think there are artificially cut marks. A few hours after Mr. Leila was killed...... Though it is extremely cold, I know that the cut marks will soon disappear."
King Elf was listening quietly to Sidi. And when I finished hearing that, I exhaled slowly.
"I'll lay it over you. This is hard to say... My husband has very good appraisal skills. Perhaps, then, but I know that all the elves who come in here will join forces to seal the magic of their husbands. I'm afraid you can disarm it. That way, I know I can find out who did it in my husband's power."
…………!?
…………!?
Suddenly, the room became noisy. At first glance, dozens of armed soldiers were breaking into the room. And at the end of the day, an elf in a brilliant costume appeared. This man is indeed the Queen of Elves. When she glanced at us, she snapped her jaw quickly. To signal that, I thought the soldiers were coming at us... but they stopped. Looking to the side, King Elf is posing to stop the soldiers. He keeps a stare at a point and doesn't make it slight.
"... my mother told me to kill us."
Meek squeaks in a small voice. She's looking straight at her mother trying to kill herself.
"This happened because the concubines came here. Tell me everything will stay the same without the concubines."
... how rational. There is more to it than that. Was that woman named Leila killed for that nagging thought? I'm not kidding. At the stage of trying to kill us, I'm completely insane... Is what you did in good faith something that goes so far behind your back?
"... Father, those men are the benefactors who helped the concubine. Tell me you won't allow me to take that benefactor's life."
... King Elf is decent. Normally, you think so, don't you?
"... my mother hates us."
Meek leans lonely. Nevertheless, I wouldn't even hate my real daughter that much......
It's my stepmother.
Siddie whines in a small voice. What's this all about?
"That's not Mr. Meek's birth mother."
"Why, can you say all that? Intuition?"
"Parents who hate my child are not here."
Siddie groans with a lonely look. That's right. My child is cute. Me, too, Eryl, Alilia, Ideas. I know it hurts when my kids get in my eyes, but it's a treasure. Whatever happens, I want to be on the side of the kids, not to mention not thinking about taking their lives, and not wanting to think about it. Thinking about it, I can also nod that the lady who is staring at us with her sharp eyes is her stepmother.
"... Mother, misfortune occurs because she engages with other races. Tell them we should get rid of the other species as soon as possible."
"The idea is wrong"
I accidentally got a voice.... Is that it? It's quieter now, isn't it?... that everyone is paying attention to me!? eh, what should I do??
