"Why did the raid find out......?

Eike listens to my words.

"Yes. That way, do you have any idea?

"There isn't. Until I met with Mr. Mathias, I didn't even let the opening come out of a case made of grated misrils. If it's possible, that's about the fact that information leaked in the Wang capital and the person with that information reached the labyrinth city sooner than I did..."

That's what Eike says, he takes the paper delivered to me by the king.

"No, I don't think so. It was delivered in secret, which means that existence itself is treated as top secret, right?

"Exactly."

"If there's a guy who can steal this information, that means he's pretty close to the center of the kingdom.... I don't think such a guy would take a risk for such a dwarf"

If he's intelligent enough to dive into the heart of the kingdom, he'll understand that cage castles to that extent are futile.

So if it was the man in the king's capital who breathed information into the lord, the lord would have chosen to flee rather than stand up.

I even lost power, though I doubt very much who will get it by deliberately utilizing such an idiot.

"Sure...... If so, what do you know?

This room is luxurious for a hidden room.

There are chairs and desks that seem expensive, as well as fireplaces.

Perhaps until now it has also been used for secret meetings.

"This is it."

That's what I said, pulling one letter out of the fireplace.

There are slight burnt marks on the corners, but the contents can be read.

"Letters...... right. Contents…"

"Apparently, as expected"

That said, I spread the letter that came out of the fireplace.

Among them was the decision to execute the lord and the assassin who would execute it, who would arrive today or tomorrow.

And the last line says to burn this letter when you finish reading it.

Perhaps the sender of the letter did not want to be informed of the existence of this letter.

Unfortunately, the lord didn't even seem to know how to burn things, though the sender's consideration was wasted.

"I see... but where the hell did it leak from..."

Indeed, this letter does not bear the name of the sender.

However... there was more than enough information to identify the killer.

"I think it's more right to say they stole the letter than to say where it leaked from"

That said, I observe a magical reaction to a burning letter.

Yeah, definitely.

"Stolen? What's in the Mithril case?

"If there is no magic cure, you can look at it magically and easily."

"... does that mean Master Matthias?

"I can do it too... not this time. First of all, you're definitely a demon. … From this letter, I feel the magic of the Demon Clan"

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna activate detective magic again.

... Again, it's the demonic power of the Demons.

"... No way, you were giving instructions to the lord, you mean the Demons!?

Eike asks me.

If it's a national secret, you also know that there have been demons in the heart of the country before, and you're worried this time around.

But happiness or unhappiness, the anticipation is off.

Until now, the Demons have betrayed my expectations diagonally, but I can confidently say all this time.

Demons shouldn't be that stupid.

"If that's the case, we should have gotten some more decent hands on the other side."

"I mean...?

"The Demons were near the Labyrinth City for other reasons, and then they helped the Lords, right? Naturally, there is only one reason to come to the Labyrinth City…"

That's what I'm referring to, the ground.

Precisely the labyrinth beneath it.

"Apparently, the Demons need help with the labyrinth."
