Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

Episode 276: I lied, but I didn't lie.

Moving to the best room in the dormitory, the party heard from Koltz all along.

Koltz has already stopped crying and is sitting on Yuma's lap talking to the best of us.

I give Koltz a painkiller that Kazuyoshi has bought in Japan, but there is sweat on my forehead.

After all, there seems to be postoperative pain.

"Well, Mr. Woodbell gave me gunpowder....."

Yiliang roared with a sharp expression.

Zirconia went to the scene to check it out, so we'll need to hear more about it later.

Woodbell was very close to Sylvester and a lot of soldiers.

"Yeah... maybe that's why oneechan taught me swordsmanship."

"Mr. Coltz, Mr. Woodbell said he was a Barber messenger. Why did you think that?

Barretta, who was listening next door, asked Cortz.

"Mr. Wood, he called this hill" The Skeleton Hill. "I would never call you that if you were from this country, so I don't know."

"Yes... Mr. Woodbell, you didn't tell me you were a Barber, did you?

"Yes, but...."

Did you feel that Koltz was not trusted, or you looked a little dissatisfied.

As for Valletta, there was no confirmation that Woodbell was either an Arcadian or a Barber.

"Ah, but Master Narsson said security was too tight to get close, and stealing gunpowder was a sub-task."

"... then there's a thick line between Barber and me."

Valletta nodded convincingly.

He probably tried to get close to Narson with the aim of assassinating him.

The Arcadian royal family and others would not have thought of assassinating Nalson, who commands the entire army during this duel.

Besides, the main domestic players watch the "Video of Hell."

I won't do that until I'm sure I'm going to hell.

"Um, Cortz. My arms are really..."

"I don't care about your arms."

Koltz lies down and says, "Good luck."

"That's not true. I don't care....."

"I told Isaac about Kazura. Kazura-sama, I'm sorry...."

"Mr. Koltz... I'm so worried..."

When you say "I don't care" about losing one arm, everyone's face becomes painful.

By then, Colz must have been worried about telling Isaac what was best.

"Mr. Koltz, that's fine. Corz is not at fault. [M] Mr. Isaac just did his job. Please don't hold back on me."

But you lied to me, Isaac.

Koltz looks up a little.

"I had to tell Kazura-sama the truth... and I was so scared that I couldn't tell her the truth all the time..."

When Kazuyoshi heard it, he remembered when Isaac and the others were to take him to Istria in the village.

Isaac unnaturally blocked Cortz from saying anything.

I'm sure Isaac prevented other villagers from blaming Corz for what he did there.

I don't know how Isaac got it out of Corz, but it's hard to hear it from Corz now.

"... why do adults lie?

Koltz stares at the best with tears.

"Isaac, Wood, Mel... and..."

Koltz said so and shut his mouth.

"Mel, sis?

"Mr. Kazura, this is Ms. Melfi, Ms. Wood's girlfriend."

Nina supplements everything from side to side.

"Is that her... that's a tough time right now..."

"Kazura-sama, promise me you won't do anything bad to your sister?

Corz stares straight at the best he can roar.

"Eh? What's so awful?

"... promise me. I won't lie to anyone anymore, and I won't cheat. So, please."

He becomes a confused face.

What Colts said so far could be something serious.

It's easy to nod here, but I don't know if I can hear Koltz's wishes.

"... Cortz. Sometimes when you do something bad, you get the punishment you deserve."

Ichira said, Corz's body trembled.

Apparently, he's upset.

"I want you to understand. If Melfi did anything wrong, I have to report it to Narsson. Depending on the content, you may be subject to the law, and I don't know if Cortz will do what he wants."

But it keeps getting better.

"If you know anything, please tell me. That's not a good thing to leave, is it?

"... yeah. I don't think so."

"Do you like Melphie?

Talk to Koltz in a tone that Ichira speaks.

Koltz nodded hard.

"If you like someone, no matter how bad they do, will Cortz protect you? You think that's the right thing to do?

……

Corz is lying.

I understand perfectly well that you are making a very cowardly remark.

But I thought we should never just pretend to lie to Cortz and tell him what Melphie did.

If you do that, Corz will no longer believe anything adults say.

Besides, we have to convince him to talk at a time when Corz is about to say it.

I think in one corner of my head that if Cortz had been a single adult with all sorts of experiences, he could have done something different to protect someone he likes.

At least I will.

"... I think it's a bad thing."

After a long silence, Corz snapped.

Raise your face and look at the best.

It's not the scary face I saw earlier, it's the expression of my readiness.

"... Mel, Miss Wood told me to steal Nina's radio."

"Eh!?

Everyone's face was stiff and Nina raised her voice in surprise.

"Eh, eh!? My radio is still here!? It's not stolen!?

Nina holds the radio on her waist and shows it to everyone.

Corz turned to Nina.

Mel, I stole Nina's room keys, and I stole her radio.

"Key?... ah!

Nina looks calm when she remembers a few days ago when she bumped into Melfi in the hallway.

The other daughters looked like, "No way."

"Mr. Cortz, are you absolutely certain that Mr. Melphie stole it?

Corz nodded immediately to the best question.

"Yeah, I saw Mel go into Nina's room."

"So you saw him take out the radio?

"No, it's not. Mr. Wood and Mel's sister were in the barracks dining room, and Mel's sister brought me a radio...."

"Mr. Koltz. Just take your time. Can you talk to me in turn? From the beginning of the day you met Melphie, in turn."

Valletta said to Corz with a gentle voice.

Koltz nodded and talked about the day's events.

Leaving the hidden Narrow Hall and entering the dining room for a drink.

The fact that Woodbell found me breathing when I noticed the best people walking outside.

Woodbell, who had a radio brought by Melfi, asked Colts about it.

After that, I followed Melfi and saw her go into Nina's room.

At the end of the conversation, there was silence in the room.

Maya is holding Nina's shoulder trembling with a blue face.

"Besides, Mr. Wood said it in Narrowhal. Mel's sister said," My boyfriend asked me to steal it so easily. "

"... I see."

Ichiyoshi squeaks with a sharp expression.

We can't just leave Melfi alone.

We have to report it to Narson, and she'll be trapped.

"Thank you. You talked to me a lot."

Ichira smiles and strokes Corz's head.

Colts looked up with anxiety.

"... Kazura-sama. I need to ask you something."

"Yeah, that's fine. Ask me anything."

Corz opened his mouth and looked at Nina and Barretta.

"... Kazura-sama, can we talk alone with Barretta?

"Yeah, I got it. Ladies and gentlemen, would you please stay out of the room for a moment?

"Yes, Nina, are you okay?

Maya looked at Nina worried.

……

"Because we're with you. It's okay."

Nina leaves the room so that the Mayans can support her.

Koltz's parents also left the room with him, and there were only three people in the room: Ichira, Valletta, and Koltz.

"What do you want to hear?

Koltz, who is sitting in a chair for a while, asks.

"... is it true that Kazura-sama is not God?

"... eh"

As soon as it solidifies, Corz turns to tears.

"I, Kazura-sama, was walking with Miss Lise and Barretta's sister, and I heard it from inside the dining room. You said," I'm just a human being. "

……

"Mr. Koltz, what do you think God is like?

Instead of being able to answer, Valletta talks to Corz.

Huh?

"You know the legend of Gracieol, don't you?

Uh-huh.

"What kind of story?

"Um... bring a lot of food to the people in the village who were in trouble because of the lack of food..."

Koltz talks about the legend of Gracieol.

When Valletta heard it silently, she crouched in front of Corz and gazed.

"That's right. Is there any difference between what Kazura did to you?

"Oh, the same thing... but, Kazura-sama, you said you were a human being.

"Yes, but what Kazura did to me is the same as what Gracieol did to me a long time ago. I think Kazura is like God to us."

……

Corz is thinking about it.

Valletta also understands that this is not the case.

"Indeed, Kazura says she's not a god. But for us, it's Mr. Gracieol himself, isn't it?

"Yeah."

Colts nodded.

It is true that Kazuyoshi actually saved the village, and it is the same as the legend that he has gained strength thanks to the food he received.

"Kazura-san has been doing everything he can for us. They've always acted like Graciaols to protect us."

"... is Kazura-sama lying for us?

"Yeah. If they find out the truth, they might resent us all. Even if you know that, you're going to become Gracieol-sama for us."

……

Corz shuts his mouth.

He looks serious and desperate.

Barretta glanced at the best.

"... Cortz, Valletta is right."

He said to Koltz with a squeeze.

"I'm really sorry I'm deceiving everyone. It's a very cowardly way of saying things, but it was the only way to do it."

"Mr. Koltz. It was I who told Mr. Kazura to lie to you, too, Mr. Gracieol. That was the only way to do it."

"... yeah"

Colts nodded and looked at the best.

"So, who is Kazura-sama?

"I came from a door that leads to another world, beyond the groves of Grisea Village. It's called Japan."

When Ichira answered, Koltz looked puzzled.

"Did you bring food or something from Japan to help us?

"Yeah, that's right."

"The sick soon got better, and we got stronger because we ate the food Kazura-sama brought us, right?

That's right.

"Well then, Kazura-sama, it's Gracieol-sama. You're not lying."

Huh?

Valletta looked surprised.

"I mean, it's just a legend. Kazura-sama, it's Gracieol-sama."

"No, I'm just a normal person. I just came from another world."

"It's Graciel who comes from another world and helps us all, isn't it? Kazura-sama, it's God."

It's a good way to make a gloomy expression.

Barretta nodded in her heart without thinking, "Certainly," as Colts pointed out.

I wonder if the definition of God will change so easily in one thought.

The word "being" is clearly defined in conjunction with the legend, as much as Gracieol in this world.

There is no mistake in Koltz's statement.

"Good... Kazura-sama, I wasn't a liar."

"Uhhhh... hmm?

Corz was relieved, and she roared well.

Valletta also had an unexpected unfolding, relieved face without lumps between the two.

"Ugh... Barretta, my arm hurts. I'm thrilled."

Corz frowned and saw his missing left arm.

"Oh, wait a minute. I'll give you the medicine now."

Barretta removes the chamomile oil bottle from her pocket and hangs a few drops on the handkerchief.

Colts smelled it for a few seconds and the pain was relieved and his face was calm.

Unlike lavender essential oils, this one doesn't seem to be blurred.

"You should get some rest today. I can use this room."

"Yeah."

So the conversation ended, and Ichira and Barretta sent Cortz to the guest room with her parents.
