152. Confession alone is suspicious.
It was like the Duke of Kernel who captured Mi Mirsha.
The earless Duke of Kernel knew of Theodore's escape and moved people under the Duke's command to conduct a search.
I searched for a possible hideout in Theodore and found Mi Mirsha wandering nearby.
After questioning him suspiciously, he confessed that he had helped Theodore escape.
... Isn't it a little tough to arrest someone on the basis of a confession?
Nevertheless, Mi Mirsha's captivity has been accepted by the people of this country only because the Duke of Kernel has served the country for many years.
If I were the Duke of Kernel, I wouldn't make the wrong decision first.
Seems trusted by years of track record.
In addition, because Mi Mirsha herself has confessed completely to the crime, it seems that there is no one who can speak out and speak out against others.
It seems that we are in the process of extracting information from Mi Mirsha and hunting down Theodore.
"But there are many times when it doesn't fall into your heart."
Murmur in the carriage.
From the bottom of your buttocks, a vibration of rattling and wheels moving through the ground is transmitted.
My destination is Mi Mirsha's captured prison.
Now, if I could name myself Queen, I could have a conversation with Mi Mirsha, even though I was under surveillance.
This is my intuition, but Mi Mirsha will not commit such a sin.
I wish my intuition was wrong, but it would have been worse if it had hit me.
After interrogating Mi Mirsha, no useful information can be obtained, and Theodore may be able to escape.
Mi Mirsha sat down in one of the randomly lined cells in the prison where she arrived.
Surveillance officers are staring at the entrance to the blocks lined up in the cell block, the key to escape.
Mi Mirsha's cell is not ten meters away, and the coroner's ears are clear.
Whisper to her and she'll find out soon enough.
"Dear Mi Mirsha, it's Leticia. Can you tell me a story?"
"... Mr. Leticia?"
Mi Mirsha raised her head loosely.
But as soon as he recognized the coroner, he lay face down again.
... suspicious.
If you are truly caught confessing by your own will, your attitude feels a little unnatural.
Ask the warden behind you and secretly activate the magic.
The magical excitation light was emitted from the coroner in a blind spot, so he shouldn't have found out.
Sometimes the country has a small population of magicians, and countermeasures against magicians are monkeys.
In the Kingdom of Eltoria, which had a large population of magicians and inevitably sophisticated countermeasures for magicians, it was a way of doing things first.
The next time I see His Majesty, I will tell him to proceed with the magician countermeasure.
"Dear Mi Mirsha, I'm fine. Whatever you say now, surveillance won't ask."
"... hey? Such an inconvenient thing..."
"Yes, it's magic. I'm manipulating the indoor air movement to keep my voice from leaking.Even now, surveillance officers won't blame us for that evidence, will they? "
"Ah...."
Mi Mirsha also seemed to understand.
I trembled and looked as if I was going to cry.
"Only sound can be blocked, so don't move too much.And the sound-blocking surveillance officer is aware that we are facing each other silently.If we prolong our relationship, we will be suspicious, so please be brief. "
"Ha, ha..."
Mi Mirsha stopped nodding reflectively and desperately began to think.
"... I was taken hostage by the two tail foxes of my companion beast and forced to confess a lie."
"How did you get two tail foxes taken hostage?"
"I don't know. I was stunned and put in this cell while I was unconscious."
He was abducted by force and forced to confess.
I was expecting that...
Even so, I was a little concerned about whether it would be a confession, as the other person thought.
"It's cruel, but even if you confess, two tail foxes won't come back.And why did you decide to confess so quickly? "
"... for Lee Riena."
"Lee Riena's? What is that?"
I kept my mouth shut.
The surveillance officer is looking at us with a strange look.
Time Limit. They've been talking too long.
"I'm sorry, I'm going."
"Ah, wait..."
Exercise the magic to neutralize the sound insulation magic and turn your back to the cell as if nothing had happened.
I couldn't talk to Mi Mirsha at all.
So deceptively, I left the building set up in the cell.
Rendezvous with Lucian and board the carriage, and direct him to the next destination.
"Head north to the Imperial Palace, I Riena."
Mi Mirsha said just before the sound insulation magic went out.
"Please rely on Lee Riena to help us with two tail foxes," he said.
I couldn't hear more about it because I ran out of time, so I decided to hurry back to Yi Riena first.
"... but why did Mi Mirsha also say two tail foxes?If I had given you a name on purpose in that limited time, it would have made sense...? "
As I thought about it, I eventually arrived at the northern detachment.
When the visitor announces the visit, the visitor is immediately sent to the reception room to find out if he or she is also looking for information.
Lee Riena sat on the bench with a two-tailed fox with five tails.
I will lie down and explain my interaction with Mi Mirsha.
On the verge of Mi Mirsha being captured by the Duke of Kernel, the man under me happened to be hearing Mi Mirsha's appeal.
"... yes, that's what she said."
Lee Liena-sama lay down her eyes surrounded by long lashes and thought for a while.
"... rely on your concubine and two tail foxes.I'm sure that's what she's going to say. "
"... do you believe me?"
Unfortunately, even though it was an explanation of all the suspicions, it was completely unbelievable and I applauded it.
Surprised, I Liena lifted the edge of her loose and fluffy lips.
"Don't you think it's normal to rely on a two-tailed fox?That's enough, and concubines are meant to see people. "
Lifting her fingertips loosely, Lee Riena pointed to the two-tailed fox.
"Would you please stroke this child?"
"Hah...?"
I can't read the purpose, but I have no choice but to rebound, so I will follow it for now.
Bury your fingertips on the back of the golden tea of the two-tailed fox and enjoy the smooth feel of fur.
... at a time like this, my heart is just a little healed.
Well-maintained fur feels comfortable to stroke.
If I shake my cheeks, I'll sleep instead of a pillow.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
"... eh?"
What the hell was that voice?
I feel like I heard a strange little boy's voice echoing from the inside of my head.
Looking around, there was only me, I Riena, and Lucien in the room.
It's me. This way. You're stroking me.
A voice that reaches into your brain again.
I looked down silently at the two-tailed fox shaking its five-tails.
"... the fox spoke...?"
It's not a fox, it's a two-butt fox.You didn't even know that?
Even when you raise your voice, it resonates directly with the voice of your head.
If you keep doing it three times, there's no mistake.
The strange voice certainly sounds like a two-tailed fox.
"Fufu, isn't that amazing?"
I watched Leena giggle at me when I was stunned.
"A very small part of a two-tailed fox, with a large number of tails, has the power to deliver a voice to people's hearts."
As I explained, I stared at the tail of the two-tailed fox.
"Could you talk to me again?"
Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good!
"Yes, thank you."
When the two-tailed fox spoke, it was faint, but the tail was glowing.
That is magical light.
The animals that use magic in this world are collectively referred to as phantom beasts.
I thought it was just a fox-like animal with a lot of tails...
"You were a two-tailed fox, a phantom beast...."
"That's right. This is the secret of most secrets that the Snowfox don't even know."
"I guess..."
If all of the Snow Fox tribes knew, they would have already leaked information from somewhere, lost their secrets and everything.
Earlier, I Riena said that only a limited number of the two tail foxes, the child with a large number of tails, had a magical power.
I'm sure that the two Tail Fox individuals, with their mysterious powers, have been gathered by the upper echelons of the Snow Fox clan to keep the information from leaking.
"Of course Mi Mirsha knew about the power of the two-tailed fox, right?"
"I knew it. That's why I told you to rely on a two-tailed fox."
"... what do you mean?"
"Do you remember the number of tails of the two-tailed fox Mi Mirsha had with him?"
When I visited my separation, Mi Mirsha had two tail foxes with him. Fu
Remember how many golden tea tails were swaying.
"Three, I remember."
"Nice answer. I remember that a lot.Like her two-tailed fox, a three-tailed child can't deliver a voice to people...Two tail foxes together, it's possible to deliver a voice. "
That should be a good, pretty good clue.
We'll make contact with Mi Mirsche's two tail foxes and have them share the names and characteristics of the kidnappers with Leona's two tail foxes.
"I think what you're thinking is probably right.And I'm sure Mi Mirsha's two tailed foxes aren't caught.Two tailed foxes are smart and quick creatures.Don't you just feel danger and hide somewhere? "
"That kind of thing....."
It can't be. I couldn't say it all.
Rather, the possibility is well conceived.
Mi Mirsha was suddenly trapped and must have been quite confused and frightened.
At that time, I might be terribly upset and believe that the two tail foxes of the accompanying beast were also caught together.
After confessing, it was a later festival to realize the possibility of being deceived.
Truth, I can't get the confidence that the two tail foxes aren't caught, so I can't resist.
... I mean, when you organize.
Mi Mirsha believed that the Duke of Kernel had taken two tail foxes hostage.
In addition, if Mi Mirsha hesitated to make a false confession, she would have been threatened with exhaustion by the same faction, Lee Riena.
...... Nevertheless, I think it's too early to confess, but in a state of sudden capture and panic, you may have no choice but to believe it.
"... then we'll have to find proof of the real killer to save Mi Mirsha from now on."
Although forced, it is difficult to overturn a confession once made.
Because it is difficult to prove that you were forced to.
That is why, in order to claim Mi Mirsha's innocence, we must secure the true culprit and corroborating evidence.
The key is the location of Mi Mirsha's two tailed foxes.
We must find and protect him before the Duke of Kernel does.
"I'd like to start searching for the two-tailed fox.Can you help me? "
That's what I told Lee Riena.
