The plain and unnoticed me is no more
Question No. 58 Zului
Summoner this time? I'm not a magician, a fighter, or a summoner. I'm just the innkeeper.
"Er...? As I checked earlier, I don't have any magic, so I can't be a Summoner...?
When I said that, I saw a white pig flying over Evan's back. And behind it, a small round form of white tiger, white bear, white deer with fairy feathers, like Levi, followed by a slightly delayed white lion with a silver hyena that clearly had a strange sense of size, passing by as if to appeal to his existence.
I felt like I saw something I shouldn't see, and aggressively focused my eyes on Evan.
"What's wrong? Something behind me?
Evan looked back and looked around, but apparently he didn't see any fairies. I was relieved and managed to deceive this scene.
"Nothing. It was just a bug flying. Rather, I have read in a book that summoning is a great thing for the great wizards of a long time ago, but I have never heard of anyone who can do it in this era. It was written that even the great magician could no longer treat the beast he summoned one day, and was dying. And the Spirit and the Holy Beast are the illusions that come out of the myth."
I didn't think of the contents of the book as facts, but I read it as a story, but many men take it as a historical fact and admire the activities of the great magicians left in the book.
A man with magic might have tried a summoning technique once by writing a magical team written in a book on the ground.
"Ah, yes... all the men who killed him have said something that bothers them. They say you woke up suddenly and defeated them with incredible strength and speed on your way to the hideout. On the verge of losing consciousness, Lana saw a big, silver-colored, horrible beast overlapping behind her. I didn't say anything, but I said it at the same time, so His Highness wondered if it was the Holy Beast you summoned....."
When I heard of the silver beast, I remembered what I had just seen.
I can't see you right now, but I still see a white lion with silver hyenas at the edge of my vision. Unlike Levi and the others, the wings on his back were bird-like wings.
And the body wasn't in a round shape like fairies, but it looked like a big, sloppy lion about a month old, but it had a splendid hyena, so it must be an adult.
Where did that lion come from? I have to ask Levi if it is a fairy that came with the flowers and trees I bought yesterday, or if it is something else, and if it returns to human form in the evening.
"Eh, Your Highness....?
"His Highness Frederick seems to have taken an interest in you while listening to the killers. But he doesn't come to downtown casually, so don't worry. The truth is, I was told to summon you to the royal palace, but Lana was not a criminal, so I refused to force you to do that."
Nice, Evan. Thank goodness for that. You would have taken me to the royal palace without hesitation.
"Speaking of which, it turns out that I was the owner of a grocery store along the street, but I let people who couldn't pay back their debts commit criminal acts. The travelling woman who stopped by the town has been targeted and some of them have already been sold. I confessed that I was going to sell you the day after the abduction. Nevertheless, who saved you? I looked around afterwards, but nobody was there. It's strange that it's not a place that happens to pass by."
I somehow had an idea what was going on at that time.
I'm sure the men who did this were telling the truth. I'm sure that lion helped me.
Perhaps he was possessed by my unconscious body at that time and started a fight.
I wonder if the killers witnessed the lion slipping out of my body with hazy eyes just for a moment on the verge of losing consciousness. It may have been the fairies who raised it somewhere.
Levi brought him here at this time, so the tiger, the bear and the deer must have been the vine procurers.
"Now that I've discovered that Lana is all a lie from the killers, I'm going to have to excuse myself. They will be severely punished for the remainder of their crimes and for carrying a stick that discredits the Duchess you know. Then, I think I heard the killer's man on the spot, but I want you to forget everything about the Virgin. It's better for you not to know. Never speak out."
"Yes, I understand."
Evan seems dissatisfied that he was able to catch the perpetrators of the raid he's been looking for. Even if we have all the witnesses, we can't plead guilty to Sandra, so maybe there's nothing we can do about it.
"Lana, will you forgive me for coming here for dinner again? When your heart sinks, you'll feel better eating what you've made. I don't come every day as before. Just once a week or once a month... no?
When I looked at Sin and Taki, I didn't have such a bad face right now. You didn't have to ask me that because I didn't tell you that.
"Isn't it Findley who said he won't be here anymore? If you think there's nothing wrong with you, feel free to do whatever you want."
Okay, I'll see you later.
Evan's expression became bright and he left the inn as it was.
"Are you angry?
Looking at Sin and Taki, and seeing how they reacted, they looked a little dazed, but they weren't angry.
"Besides, if the owner is okay, it's okay, right?
"Well, Lana was the one who had the nasty feeling, and if it's okay now, I won't say anything. Conversely, you can't say no if they say yes. I thought you were asking me a few questions."
"Ah, I told you, maybe he won't come very often. As one of the only customers, I serve food when I come to the store. That's all."
I regret my mistakes, I know I'm acting like him, and I hope you don't make the same mistake anymore. I'm not sure I can trust you yet, but if you want to earn your trust, you'll continue to do your best.
"Hey, Sin, Taki, by the way, did you see that? The fairies Levi was with."
"Yeah, the one I brought in yesterday."
"You said you brought a lot of them, but I can only see the four of them I just passed through."
"Not four, but five, right?
Didn't Sin and Taki see that lion?
