Tearmoon Empire Story

Starting the next day, Maytantay Meer moved quickly with her assistant, Anne.

After all, last night, Yana and her siblings found out about Patty's relationship. If this meant that you would have taken care of your brother and sister, it would have confirmed that Patty would become a snake.

Anne's sniff is rough, too.

Of course, sympathy for the children is the crisis of the Special Primary Department that Meer started. If you don't get up here, the maid will be decommissioned, and you will follow me with a face full of enthusiasm.

Meir-sama, where are you headed?

"I see... mmmm, what's the matter..."

Meer roared as she framed her arms.

--I want to deceive you somehow, but it's dangerous to deceive St. Noel properly... "Ugh, we have to do something..."

"Princess Meir descended!

Geez, there's someone there to call out to.

In retrospect, there stood the leader boys of the imperial nobility's descendants.

"Oh, you are... indeed, Clemens, son of Viscount Chescutti."

Meer, I'll give you a smile.

Later, students who seemed to get into trouble said, "I know your name well!"... and meer in the style of inserting a nail...

"Her Royal Highness Princess Meir... my name..."

For some reason, Clemens, the boy, seemed touched and his eyes were urging. He immediately shook his head with a dazzling face,

"With that in mind, Your Highness, I heard a rumor that they stole valuable ritual items..."

--Oh, you're pretty earsy...

Meer, tongue inside. If only some of them knew about it, it wouldn't have been that much of a fuss, but who the hell is talking to me like that...

--Or maybe the bad rumors associated with the Special Elementary School are easy to spread...?

With a headache, Meer turned to Clemens. I thought he was only here to complain...

"Are you sure that... they did it?"

He said with a regretful look somewhere.

"I can't say anything about it." I may have no choice, but if I steal it, where will I hide it? Besides, I don't think I can sell it on this island of St. Noel. In other words, the silver ritual furniture can't be sold in Verga, right? "

Even if you stole it for money, the sacrifices wouldn't sell so easily. In that case, I can't say that they are suspicious... "

When he heard Meer's words, the boy instantly shook his head.

"... well, well, I can't trust you to do anything about the lowly folk grass..."

In spite of that indescribable thing, Meer unexpectedly smiles.

Clemens bowed in disgust and left the scene.

"... however, the students who were in direct contact with them are still servants, and the students who are merely thinking in the lettre of the 'Son of the Poor' are a problem." We have to do something about this. "

Such anxiety on the part of Meer was unfortunate.

From the next day onwards, there were successive complaints in the student association, and members such as Theon were forced to respond.

Meanwhile, Meer was looking for a way to break it down.

I found someone who could be a clue, and then Meer went after him. "That's..."

Julius, can I have a moment?

"Ah, Princess Meir... what is it?"

Meer spoke to Julius with a strange tilted neck.

“Can I talk to you for a second? Are you sure?"

"Yes, then... well, let's talk in the room."

Julius rolled his eyes behind Chirari and Meer. Perhaps he avoided a situation where he and Meer would be alone in the room. He is a very generous man.

Then, after Julius, Meer and Anne came to his room.

There was a room set aside for teachers in the special elementary school, and a large desk with a variety of thick books.

"Oh, is this a book to use for class?" You're very enthusiastically prepared, aren't you? "

“Yes, I can't help but be educated. Besides, they're all good kids."

Sit on a chair, as Julius recommended. And, waiting for it, Julius began to speak.

"So, is this about the theft?"

“Yes, that's right. How are the children doing?"

Asked, Julius nodded with anxiety,

"Everyone looks confused." I told you not to worry... "But honestly, what do you think, Mr. Meir? I don't think they did it, but...."

"Yes, of course I do." But not all of them. That's why I think I have to convince you. That's why I wanted to hear your opinion.... "

In response, Julius blinked his eyes in bewilderment.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Meir... it's not a rumor, it's something different."

"Rumor... yes, what kind of...?"

"Oh, no, I'm sorry." Never in a bad way... "However, people with noble identities usually think of the people as being inferior. I knew you'd be treating those children like criminals....."

"The people look down on me like that... oh, that's ridiculous."

That is the path to the platform. The people are by no means inferior, nor weak. I can't keep stepping on it forever. Meer knew it well enough to feel pain. Specifically, I felt painful around my neck like this.

"I'm sure you'll understand, Princess Meer, but... those girls will never steal anything." If so, is there anyone else who might be suspicious? When I looked at Mr. Rafina's condition, I felt like that.... "

"Suspicious person... well, that's right."

Indeed... Barbara, headed by a suspicious figure, is on this island right now. Such an incident occurs when she is on the island. Is that a coincidence?

"The point is, you just have to find out who did it." If only there were other murderers besides them. So... in some cases, you may have to pay for your sins. "

Meer swallows the raw saliva, gokuli, to Julius, who shines his glasses.

"That means... that you're going to produce a sacrifice, right?"

And Julius nodded profoundly,

"As you can see, Mr. Rafina, it seems that the person you are thinking of is guilty of a crime that was originally suspected." If that's the case... after adding the crime of stealing this time, what can I say? "

Certainly... rubbing my sins against the snake is something I don't think about either. I don't know, but...

"It's important to protect them. I think it would be good to consider it as one of the means to that end...."

For the sake of the children... it's hard for me to object when they say that. "If that's all I can do, maybe I can't help it..." I don't want to do anything terrible as a meer who knows what's going on with Barbara.

Like Rafina, it would be the same thing.

"Why don't you find out where the 'person you know' is locked up and if you can't really steal it?" If only you could ask me where I am..... "

"Oh, no, I can't do that." I'll leave it to Rafina-sama. ”

Sure enough, we can't let Barbara see the others. but......

--This is not a situation where you can choose the means...

Meer was deeply troubled.

After Julius' room, Meer went to the cathedral, thinking.

"I wish I could find the killer like this..."

And so, while crushing the lack of anything, he enters the cathedral.

The basilica of St. Noel's School was usually open to students.

Sometimes praying in the majestic cathedral, sometimes calming the mind, and reflecting on one's deeds were recommended by the Central Orthodox Church.

That day, however, there was not a single ordinary student there. Instead, there was......

Ah, Miss Meer.

Raffina, dressed in pure white holy clothes, and her servants appeared. Apparently, they were performing some kind of ritual.

"Oh, Rafina-sama, what the hell is this...?"

"I'm working on replacing the stolen artifact."

Having said that, Rafina took it out of the wooden box.

It was a silver platter with a white glow.

"Oh, that's right, isn't it?" Is it meant to keep bread on board? "

"Yes, there are many other uses, but in fact, it's just a platter of silver that I use for my communion." Even if it's a sacred object. "

Rafina shrugged her shoulders.

"I'd like to say that this is a favorable replacement, so I won't make a fuss..."

Rafina sighed with a troubled face. Meer smiles back,

"That's right..." "But this is just a big plate..." It's so big... nh? "

Suddenly, Meer felt uncomfortable. Surely... didn't Rafina say that at first? "Silver rituals were stolen..."

However, when Meer saw the actual object, he certainly didn't think it was a "sacrifice". Indeed, I thought it was a 'silver platter'.

What is that for...? "I heard a little while ago that it was a silver platter.

"I see, indeed, this is a big plate..." But I didn't say that, and I'm sure Rafina didn't say that either... "Then why did Patty say it was a big plate...?"

How did you know what was stolen was a plate? That is, that is...

Meer was... so blue.

--No way... Patty stole it... right? "No, but..."

It was then. Some came into the cathedral. "That's..."

"Excuse me. Oh, Meer, you're here."

"Well, Abel, you're back!"

Meer had a bright smile on her face.
