Souen no historia

The sky was cloudier. It was a disgusting weather, as it was about to rain. In the meantime, many people were heartbroken by grief in a city house called [Aquapos].

There was a majestic carriage in front of the front door of the mansion, and a coffin was about to be carried in the carriage by adults.

There were many children around the carriage and tears were shed with the appearance that no one could believe it.

"Grandpa...."

Saudi and Joyo, who were among the attendees, heard Trundee murmuring next to them. He was staring at the coffin with his vain eyes open.

Yes, Sir Narios is in that coffin. After being carried to the church and kept for a few days for prayer, a grave buried in the earth is built.

The children cling to the coffin, disturbing the adults. Adults did not try to pull it off, but waited for the children to calm down until they felt comfortable.

There are no inhabitants here who do not know Lord Narios. Sir Narios, who walked around the city every day, always greeted him.

He also took the lead in various events for the vibrancy of the city and ran orphanages for children. That's why they all relied on Lord Narios, treating him as if he were the father of the city.

A sudden obituary of such a person. Everyone couldn't help but accept the fact that it was too early to die.

A few days after Sauji and Yoyo stopped by to celebrate the opening of the store in Trente, they suddenly came into the obituary and laughed at it as a joke. Because until the other day, they had met Lord Narios and watched him in good health.

There was no mention of having a disease, and Yoyo was concerned about his health and occasionally looked at his body with the magic of "rhythm".

However, I thought it would be better to check with the person, and when Soji looked into it, the facts were cruel.

They say a carriage was attacked by a thief on the way home from [Dolback], where everything is located, to [Aquapos], where the Mansion is located. It seems to have been an instant event.

The attackers stripped him of his body beautifully, leaving Ser Narios and his valet with a pair of underwear. They found a nearby traveler being attacked and rushed to help, but it was already too late.

The bandits recently arrived in [Dorkia], a group called the Golden Bandits. They are putting the reform of the world on the slogan, targeting mainly the wealthy.

They say they are rising in mourning over this world of rich and poor, but what they are doing is nothing but self-inflicted robbery and murder.

There are indeed many aristocracy in this world. Some people despise civilians and treat them as slaves. And there's the fact that they're producing bandits.

However, Sir Narios is a personality located on the opposite side of such a person. There is a widespread diagram that he has been subjected to a constant quest for peace and pleasure.

Accepting the fact that they were killed by mistake is not something that the inhabitants of this city can accept. How central he was to the city is understandable at a glance at the number of participants and their expressions.

Everyone is weeping with sorrow. I know very well how great Lord Narios was.

Saudge feels the pain of tightening his chest when he thinks of the face of his often laughing uncle, Sir Narios.

Why should such a good man be killed?

Yoyo's expression looks faint, but she's known each other for a long time, and her chest must be filled with rage.

And it's a trante. He is showing a dark expression as if he had expressed the despair of the world. My eyes are bright red and swollen after crying already.

The coffin was finally put in a carriage and taken to the church. Everyone stood there for a while in a dazed state.

Quicky and Shiny at her knees pull on Sausage's clothes.

"Dad... come on, where are you going? Why aren't we all leaving?

"Shiny...."

Soji bent and gazed at her.

"My uncle, who gave me this hair decoration, is going to heaven."

Teen-ku?

"That's right. The good guys are going someday."

"Nhhhhhhhhhhh?

"Yeah, I'm sure someday."

Soji gently strokes her head, and she laughs with a pleasant smile. But at that time,

"...... no"

Saudge said aggressively, "Huh?" She leaked her voice and looked at Trunte. His body was then shaking and biting his teeth.

"I won't forgive you... I won't forgive you... definitely"

"... Mr. Trante...?

It was a sausage that was unusually swollen from Trente, but I suddenly thought Trente had turned his heel back and left with Sta somewhere.

Though Sage stood up to stop him, and Joseph said unto him, Leave him alone, and he stopped him.

"But, miss. Mr. Trunte... something was wrong."

"I can't help getting excited because my dear grandfather was murdered."

"I see...."

Though I thought it was just a lethal attempt, Yoyo breathed softly with his eyes down.

"I'm more curious than that."

Huh?

Sir Narios was murdered.

"Situation of murder...?

"Yeah, it's not that far between [Dolback] and [Aquapos]. The road is also flat. There's almost no place to hide."

I didn't know what Yoyo was trying to say, and Sausage frowned and listened.

"Previously on Golden Bandit, there were no settlements around here, and it was normal to hide in a swarm of woods and mountains."

As Yoyo said, the places they attacked were limited to the less popular ones. It's probably because you're afraid people will come together poorly. That's why they prefer forests, valleys, mountains, etc.

"Yet this time it's a promising meadow. As a result, travelers are watching. Why?"

"... does the young lady mean anything?

"Yes, there must be some reason for normal cover. I'm not sure if it's an internal factor or an external factor, but I don't hear about the internal division...."

"No way, miss. Someone used them to attack Lord Narios?

"... do you think too much?

"That's...."

Honestly, I don't know. However, Yoyo has a point. You'd be surprised if the way you've been protected suddenly changed. There is no doubt that some intent is involved.

There's one more thing.

"What is it?

"I checked, Sir Narios was attacked and Golden Bandit fled east."

"There is a city called Acatole in the east. This is crazy."

"... why did the city go in a certain direction, even though it was supposed to attack people and usually avoid the city?

Killing people quickly turns out to be information. And the security of the city has been tightened even more, and when I see people like Golden Bandit, I'm sure they'll move on to captivity. That's why the bandits would have avoided the city and headed for a place where they could hide.

"Didn't you make it look like you were heading for the city and stray to the sidewalk?

"The grasslands are just spreading to the east. If you want to escape, you should head for the western forest or the northern mountain from the beginning. And yet he dares to risk his life to get to the city. The reason is....."

Yoyo silently entered the carriage without saying a word, and returned to Crowtail's Mansion. Of course Soji was with him, but it was hard to talk to Yoyo, who had been thinking about it for a long time, and silence continued until he arrived at the Mansion.

The next day, Soji was worried about Trunte and visited the shop he ran, but there was nobody in the shop and all the magic items disappeared as if they were to be withdrawn.

"... Mr. Trante"

Though Saugh he felt disturbed, he went back to the mansion to convey this to Yoyo as soon as possible.

And soon afterwards. Information came in that the city of [Akator] was wrapped in flames.
