Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

"Please put this on. Put this string on your ear."

The doctor who received the mask and the assistant woman put on the mask while being properly taught.

"I see, this is useful. Is there no knot?"

"If this happens, blood or pus won't get into your mouth. Never deviate."

"Mm-hmm. Looks like it's easy to wash."

"We'll make the same thing later."

The doctor and assistant woman stroke their mask with impression.

"And what is the water she just put in her hand? It smells strange."

"It's a disinfectant that kills the germs that you have."

"Bacteria? What is it?

The doctor leans his neck with a neat face.

"Uh, uh... to put it mildly, it's an invisible little creature. Wounds get worse when they're filthy, that's why."

"Hmm. But how do you know it's 'there' even though it's invisible?

"Um... it doesn't look normal, but there's a way to see it if you use tools. I don't know what to explain...."

"Um, Kazura-sama...."

Nina whispered to Kazuyoshi that she was having trouble explaining.

Fortunately, she turned to Nina.

"Ah, yes. What is it, sir?

"Well, there's something I want to talk to you about. Zirconia, come here."

Nina nodded and Zirconia walked away from everyone.

She moved to the wall and Nina opened her mouth.

"It's about your injury... it's like fighting a soldier on your side. I think it was probably you who killed that soldier."

"Eh!?

Kazuyoshi opened her eyes in surprise.

"What about the other soldier?

Zirconia asks Nina with a serious look.

"A soldier named Woodbell was found dead in Narrowhal. The dagger that was stuck in Koltz's arm was like that of a soldier."

Nina offers Zirconia something wrapped in a white cloth.

Zirconia received it and opened the cloth.

A dagger with Corz's blood stuck to the blade appears and Zirconia takes it.

"... do you have any proof that the soldier stabbed you?

"When Cortz regained consciousness earlier, he said, 'Mr. Wood, I'm sorry.' Also, there were signs of a struggle in Nabondo, and two swords fell."

"Yes, Cortz. Who was the first to find you?

"It's Maya. He happened to pass by the Naritado Hall and said he found blood flowing out from under the door. So, when I opened it, there were the bodies of Mr. Cortz and Mr. Woodbell inside, and we were called by Maya."

Where's the body?

"It should still be in Narutado. The soldiers gathered tried to get it out, but I thought it better not to move it. I asked him to leave, and the guard who was in the dormitory came to me."

Zirconia nodded in Nina's explanation, placing her hand on her shoulder.

Nina shrugged her shoulders.

"Well done. Well done."

"Ha, yes! Thank you!

Nina thanked him for his stroke.

Zirconia turned to the best.

"Mr. Kazura, I'm going to take a look at the scene now."

"I'll go, too. I wonder what that means."

"No, Kazura, stay with the barretta. If we get what we need during surgery, we can only get Kazura-san."

"Ah... I see. I understand."

As soon as he nodded, Zirconia said, "Well then," and headed for the exit.

As I was leaving the building and headed for Naritado, I encountered Lise, who ran from the front.

Mother!

Lize rushes to Zirconia.

"Was your mother here?"

"Yes, I just happened to see Mr. Kazura."

I see. So you know about your injury. "

"Yeah, Barretta's in surgery right now. I cut off my left arm."

Eh?

Zirconia's face turned pale.

"Barretta's going to have surgery... and cut it off... can you do something about it without cutting it off?

"I can't. If you leave me alone, I'll definitely die. Kazura-san didn't say anything, and the medicine doesn't seem to help."

"Really...."

Liese lay her eyes down with a dark face.

"There's Valletta and Kazura inside. Help him."

"Yes, where's your mother going?

"It's Nabondo. It seems like it could be a case, so I need to see it."

"I see. Your mother doesn't have a radio, does she?

"Yeah, I gave it to Celeste... so where is Celeste?

Zirconia listens when she notices an invisible ceremony.

"I'm wirelessly contacting Isteria. Don't let your parents know you've been found."

Lizzie removes her radio and hands it over to Zirconia.

"Please take this. If anything happens, please let me know."

"Yeah, I'll be back as soon as I check the scene."

"Ah, about that, Your Highness, I have a message for your mother."

"From His Highness?

Zirconia has a neat face on a name that was completely unconscious.

I realized now that I had never seen him since I returned to the fort.

"Yes, 'I hope you will join me in mourning the soldiers who died in battle, as long as my hands are free.'" Your father is with you. "

"Yes, I understand. I'll be on my way as soon as we're done."

"Yes... Your Highness has been on the battlefield since the end of the battle."

"Did you help rescue the wounded?

"No...."

Lizzie's sad expression made her lie down.

"It looks like they were saying the last words to soldiers who were seriously wounded and could no longer be saved. That's all I could do... and I should have done it myself."

"... I see."

"Yes... I was wrong about Your Highness. Your Highness is a fine man."

Lize raised her face.

"I'm sorry I got caught. Bye."

Zirconia headed to Nakando after seeing Lise enter the hospital.

After a while, I saw a crowd in front of Nabondo.

It appears that several of the guards are holding the gathering of soldiers and servants.

"Hey, is it true Wood is dead!?

"How was it!? Are you really Mr. Wood!? Answer me!

Soldiers and servants with worried faces ask, but the guard keeps his mouth shut with a sharp expression.

Then one of the guards noticed Zirconia and waved.

"Dear Zirconia!

Those who were gathered turned around and made their way.

Zirconia rushed to him.

"What's the situation?

"This way."

Zirconia enters the Narbone Hall with the Guards.

Inside, several Melee guards were gathered by the wall.

There is also a Captain Kintetsu and he seems to be talking to some of his friends.

Woodbell's body lay on the floor, spreading a terrible amount of blood.

"Is he Woodbell?

The nearby guards salute Zirconia as she approaches.

On behalf of him, Sergeant Kintetsu opened his mouth.

"Yes, just strange traces and testimonies, I wonder what happened...."

"Weird?

In reply, Sergeant Kintetsu gave Zirconia a small cloth bag.

"There was a powder bag in this man's pocket. According to an interview, he was transporting gunpowder to a cannon unit, but someone saw him running inside the fort in Rata."

Sergeant Kintetsu looks at the two daggers lying on the floor.

"There were also signs of a fierce battle here. I wonder if the injured boy was hit by the other guy."

"... you don't know who you're dealing with, do you?

"Yes, but it was unnatural that the boy wasn't killed."

Zirconia receives the powder bag and crouches in front of the sword.

I wonder if they bumped into each other with a lot of force, but several parts of the blade were largely missing.

Found another blood stain around Woodbell's body and stood up and walked.

Blood ran all the way to the middle of the room.

--She also had a deep cut on her nose.

Zirconia reminds me of Corz.

Zero blood on the floor and a powder bag in Woodbell's pocket.

Then, the blade of the sword spilled and Corz was injured.

We have enough circumstantial evidence.

Zirconia was convinced that it was Corz who killed Woodbell when the surgery was over and Corz was able to speak.

The Near Guards don't think a seven-year-old can leave such a trail of battle.

This should be used well.

"... you guys find out what Woodbell's background is and what he's been doing."

"Yes, sir. It's possible that Woodbell was one of our enemies."

"Maybe. I know you do, but you don't have to say anything else.

"Of course. However, it is possible that the opponent who fought him is still inside the fort. I need you to investigate."

"That's okay. I know who you're dealing with."

Zirconia answered and he looked surprised.

"Oh, my God. Who is it?

Zirconia nods at him and leaves the Near Guards.

"It's Cortz. He is blessed by Kazura-san... Gracior. I have the power of adult facial defeat."

"Hmm, what... just like the villagers in Grisea are so powerful?

"Yeah, it's the same for kids. I was given the same power."

Zirconia pulls out Woodbell's dagger wrapped in cloth and pinches the blade with his finger

As it stood, I pushed down the grip.

The blade, which is supposed to be baked and has a considerable hardness, is crooked from the root part.

Sergeant Kintetsu didn't think of it, but he shouted, "Nuah."

"Su, that's amazing. I didn't know you had so much power, Zirconia...."

"Look, there's no need to say anything else about this. With that in mind, make up your mind who killed Woodbell. Those men, the soldiers and the servants, they must have been quite impressed, huh?

Zirconia remembers the noise in front of Nakando earlier.

"It seems so. Sure... it's true that he did it on his own by mistake, but it's not going to be good if the story about the boy killing him spreads."

"Yeah. Even if Woodbell turns out to be in the dark, you should have the option to lie down. It's okay to fight an invading foe and die in honor."

Zirconia looks at the entrance to the underground passage that leads to the western warehouse.

The passage used to escape when he was a prisoner of the Barber army.

"I wonder if the wounded enemy interlocutor who fought Woodbell was struggling to get out of that underground passage?

Well, that's a good idea.

Sergeant Kintetsu nodded impressed.

"Now, when we have the details after the investigation, we will report to you. What about the crowds outside?

"Bring out Woodbell's body, clean it up, and show it to him. If you are asked anything, you can answer it during the investigation. I'll take care of the rest."

Ha!

Zirconia headed for the exit, leaving the salute of Sergeant Kintetsu on the spot.

As Zirconia went outside, more people were gathering than before.

Among them was a servant woman who was pouring tears into the guards.

It's Woodbell's girlfriend, Melfi.

"Let me through! Let me see Wood!

Melfi crawls into the Guards in desperate shapes.

As the wisdom approached, the soldiers and servants around them stopped making noise and watched their interaction.

"I told you it was off-limits! Get out of here!"

Don't be ridiculous! Wood is mine... Zirconia!

Melfi notices Zirconia coming out and pushes his guards towards him.

The guards hurried to hold Melfi down.

"Here, here! All right, come on!

"Dear Zirconia! I'm glad Wood's safe!?

Stop it, you idiot!

Melfi was thrown off by a guard, screaming and falling to the ground.

Those who were watching the sight turned their eyes to the guard, who obviously blamed him, but did not speak out.

Zirconia walks to Merfi silently.

He crouched down on his knees and gazed at her.

"What's your name?

Me, it's Melfi Stett.

You didn't think you could talk to me, Melfi answers with a mixed look of fear and surprise.

"Melfi. A friend of Woodbell's?

"... I'm a lover."

Melfi answers with a crying expression.

Zirconia glanced slightly at it.

"Yes... you there"

Zirconia turned to the guard who had just thrown Melfi out.

Ha!

"Once you get Woodbell's body out of here, let her see you. I'll get you a private room."

"Yes, sir."

"... eh?

Melphie was stunned by Zirconia's interaction.

"Ah, the body... that's not... that's right..."

Melphie repeats like rumors.

Zirconia glanced at her and stood up and walked towards the north gate.
