Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 459: Confessions of Ortes
Ortez told Elle in detail about his own qualities and previous hassles, either because of the loneliness caused by the fact that he had been alone with problems since the Battle of Esta six years ago.
"... that's why I want to take their revenge. Avenge my brother Colin, who was a SS member, and my best friend Nemez, who died in Esta..."
Elle listened to Ortez's confession, pretending to be just a cat.
(... Hmm. I see... you mean this guy explored the case as this guy and eventually thought Lennon was suspicious...)
"... Look, give me arms like this Marutai. For the last six years, I've been working out so that whoever I'm dealing with can take their revenge on me."
That's what Ortes said and put all his strength into his arms.
Then both of those arms thrived as big as a mountain.
(... brilliant stuff. I thought you worked out pretty well. It's not just the arms, it's not the usual thickness around the neck. Besides, I can tell you that the leg muscles under my feet are more developed than ever. Probably quite skillful...)
Elle thought of Ortes' previous efforts and was just a little impressed.
(... but even though Lennon is a suspicious guy... what did he do in the Esta campaign?... From what I've heard, he left Esta to call for reinforcements before the Thousand Years Dragon showed up, although he was placed in Esta as a dead General Gorkos' Tabernacle... Hello! He attracted the dragon to Esta for a thousand years.... No, no, no, no, there's no way I can just attract a thousand-year-old dragon to a human. Unless that's what those dragon tears are for...)
Then Elle brought her neck once again, and thought to herself as the dumbest face she had ever shown.
Ortes also noticed how Elle was doing and peered into Elle's face wondering.
"... what's wrong with you? ……
But Elle thought about it in the same way that Ortez and the others didn't care.
And the time of silence passed for a while, and at last it was to be broken by loud voices.
"Ahhh!!! That! Oh, my God! Damn!!! Lennon used dragon tears to manipulate dragons for a thousand years!!! No, but how did you get dragon tears!? That was a substitute Lucifer made to play.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I'm sure it is!! It must be!!!"
Elle was loud enough to echo around, voicing her thoughts.
"... oh, you... talked..."
Ortez was surprised that the cat on his own lap suddenly spoke, stiffened with a flashing face.
"... yes, no... I'm so annoyed to talk..."
Then the inside of the embassy began to twitch.
"How about that! You shouted too loud. Wow! Let's just get out of here!
Elle quickly descended from Ortez's knee agile and split into the woods.
Along the way Elle looked back and said, lurking his voice towards Ortes.
"What are you confused about! I'll tell you more later! Once you get out of the woods!
Ortes finally swallowed the situation, even though he still couldn't hide his surprise, following Elle's instructions and rushing up and running out to the woods.
