I was disturbed by the scattered necromancer front, but I was able to calm down after eventually realizing, "Ah, he's the one who's about to be involved..."

"Totally no more..."

Hikaru left the hotel after leaving his luggage in a private room. At the front desk, the cat is waving, "Come on. -"

The day is still high. It was the temple that headed for it.

"Assassination God" or "Hidden God" that appears in the "profession" of guild cards. How many gods are there in that subdivision? He wanted to dispel the simple question that There wasn't much in Roland's memory about this area.

By the way, Roland was a profession "Wide Noble Blood Redemption God: Knobless". Most of the noble children seem to be this. Instead, they suspect an infidel child by cheating if this profession doesn't come out.

It was a coincidence that we headed to the temple, but Hikaru will hear information that we cannot miss here.

The temple was in the center of the city.

It seems to be flourishing considerably, with more traffic and more stores as we head to the temple.

360 degrees, a circular construction that you can put in from anywhere.

It was a special construction combining wood and stone, plus steel. Does it feel like the frame is steel, but the foundation is stone, but the overall tone is wood......

It's shaped like a giant circus tent.

There were a number of windows, each of which was watermarked and carved by various gods.

The entrance is in eight directions. He doesn't seem to mind coming in from anywhere, and Hikaru goes in about a whole line.

"Ooh..."

As soon as we get in, there's a huge wall. There is a god there carved to rise half.

About 5 meters tall. High as looking up.

Side by side. He weaves a robe, has a pen on his right hand and a crystal ball on his left.

"Wisdom God."

The letter was written:

In front of it stands a preacher.

"-- Ladies and gentlemen, we are told that your soul card was created by researchers with the protection of this' god of wisdom '. Its protection is powerful, and we still haven't figured out how a soul card works. Unfortunately, however, the researcher said he left the world after building a soul card system--"

I see, and nods.

Hikaru also thought Soul Card Guild Card was a much more advanced mechanism.

Apparently, the "profession" of "wisdom god" has something to do with it.

"The more distracting," the preacher said, an old story.

Next to the "god of wisdom" is the "god of the sun", and next to it is the "god of martial arts".

Each of them has a preacher, but Hikaru noticed a weapon in the possession of the "martial arts god," a weapon carved by his side.

(swords, big swords, small swords, short spears, long spears, bows, throwing knives, shields, armor... 9 types)

There are also 9 "Armed Proficiency" skills on the Soulboard. It's a match.

It won't be a coincidence.

The preacher's commentary on "martial arts" is intended for so-called "martial arts artists," well, if you say so, "if you refine it properly, you'll also see martial arts. Good luck with that."

But the machos, like soldiers and adventurers, were listening seriously to preachers.

Hikaru didn't get the information he wanted to know, so he approached the preacher when the preacher's story came to a paragraph.

"Oh, no, boy. Anything you want to ask this preacher?

Is it unusual for a person who seems as powerless as Hikaru to wander off, and the preacher raises his hands and welcomes him?

"I'd like to ask you about nine different types of weapons."

"Ha. Is this about the Nine Ways of Martial Arts? Which martial arts are the boys working on?

"..." Wushu Jiudao "?

"Ha. Is that where it comes from? These are the nine types of weapons that are said to have been ordained by the martial arts gods in their quest for martial arts."

"The martial gods prescribed... the martial gods made it 'these nine kinds are royal roads, the others are outer roads'?

"I've never ruled out anything else, but maybe it's something similar. As the boy knows, which of these nine martial arts fields are open all over the city?

Yeah, well, yeah, I nodded appropriately like.

"This pond has the Raybrig Swordsmanship Dojo, known as Sword Saint, and the Long Spear, the best Dojo in the continent."

"... that, when dealing with other weapons, is not preferential in 'profession'?

"Ha. Are you talking about guild cards? I see. I have never heard of this preacher, who was an oligarchy and whose protectorate manifested itself in weapons other than the Nine Ways of Martial Arts."

"Okay. That's my last question, but what reason did Wushu choose those nine types?

Even then, the preacher said, "Ha ha,"

"There is no reason for what God does. It just has consequences."

Quite inclusive, Hikaru thought.

I went around the temple all the way.

There seemed to be only "one letter" or "two letters" gods worshipped here.

There were also billboards like Genesis mythology, but even the proviso "There are theories" about this, so speculation seems to tell us about the backbone system of this world - mythology.

(... but God exists, right? "Occupation" benefits me.)

That "profession" is "I worship this God! It seems to be a sign of intent." Instead of the guild card activating protection, the "voice" reaches God through the guild card. As a result, "covert" skills may be enhanced in the case of Hikaru.

(The guy who built this system... God, huh? Interested. My intellectual appetite grows)

It was when I tried to leave the temple with that in mind.

"-- Really? Are we done yet? --"

"--Sounds like it. We're sorry for your help--"

"--I wouldn't be convinced. That's not an investigation --"

Two men leave the temple as they speak.

The voice sounded familiar.

(It's the knight who was patrolling in Count Morgustadt's mansion!

I tail them by accident.

"-- it's too short-circuited to say that he's the killer because he's the first discoverer --"

"--Stupid, loud voice. What if someone else finds out --"

"-- soon to be known anyway. He's such a big killer --"

(... Huh? Did they catch the killer? From the current story —— you mean Count Morgustadt's killer, right?

The culprit is here in earnest.

(No, wait... you said "first discoverer" or something)

Count Morgustadt died, and the first appeared --.

(That girl)

Blue eyes on silver hair. Clearly white skin.

I was reminded by Hikaru that it was because he was wearing pajamas, like he was very thin.

(You mean that kid's a murderer? No.)

upset.

It's like taking my place, so to speak.

"-- which Michi Wangdu would be transferred. Our work is done --"

"--Don 't be ridiculous. Did you come to the temple for that? Are you going to make a confession--"

"--Not penance or anything like that. We just did our job --"

"--That's a joke--"

"Hikaru?

Speaking from behind, Hikaru jumped up about 5 cm.

He didn't use his "hidden" skills because he was walking in a crowded area.

"--Jill,"

A young grass coloured piece is tied with a leather string at the waist.

The scarf on the collar is beige and gorgeous.

I have a bright white bag in my hand.

Jill stood, dressed in private clothes.

"I didn't expect to see you here. Oh, could you possibly have tailed me about Hikaru? It's your fault!

"... you're the one who called me..."

"And I'm sorry I messed up. Oh, clerk. Atashi is a molassed peach parfait and Ganoderma tea!

"Whoa."

"Huh? That's okay, right? Anything to eat?

"... yeah"

Hikaru ordered water. They'll be 10 guillans.

Yes, they were coming to the cafe.

Jill called me earlier, and when I realized hah, I had lost sight of the two knights. Probably around the Count Morgustadt residence, but I wanted to hear a few more stories from you just now, if I could.

Hikaru spoke to Jill with the intention of listening. I intend to pay for the information.

Then Jill was brought to an open terrace cafe called "Recommended."

"Phew, phew, phew."

I'd love to go with a give-and-take, but for some reason, Jill was in a good mood.

(Well, if you're in a good mood, is it easy to listen...)

I think so, Hikaru.

For that, Jill's requested "Molassed Peach Parfait (120 Gillans)" and "Ganoderma Tea (30 Gillans)" are cheap... cheap... I'm sure...

"Well, I have two things to ask you"

"To?"

"Heh, it's not. I told you that beforehand, didn't I?

"Oh, wasn't that a pretext to invite Atashi to tea?

Hikaru closes his eyes and holds his temples with his thumb. I have a headache.

"... ha-ha, nah. You thought it was strange, didn't you? I can't believe Hikaru suddenly invited Atashi to tea."

"Why are you suddenly upset?"

"No to Bezu? Oh, clerk. Add this' Green Apple Pie 'too"

"It's an addition. It's an addition!

"Isn't it an information fee?

"Gu......"

90 guillans were to fly further.

"What do you want to hear?"

I'm clearly in a mood.

Hikaru, who has no idea how that mind moves, rethinks that Jill was such a man whose emotions were about to change.

"I'm talking about Unken —— he's the guild master, isn't he?

"Oh. Did he say that?

"He insisted on being a demolisher."

"Then you're a demolisher, aren't you? If Atashi says it anyway, he'll be pissed."

"I mean, I guess he's someone who has that much influence over Jill. I knew he was an Alliance Master."

"Also. That kind of rushing way of saying it, will you stop? I don't like it."

Hikaru shrugged his shoulders.

"So, Hikaru wanted to hear who the Alliance Master was?

"No... I'm not. From what I saw, it seemed like a pretty powerful guy. What kind of person is that?

"Mmm. I've heard from you again."

"I don't mind."

I drank the water they brought me. It was warm.

When I look at the clerk of the man who carried it, he looks at me and says, "I'm not bringing a beauty to you, you little brat."

Like adventurers, every man seems to be short-circuited. Hikaru sighed small.

"You know, Mr. Unken... he wasn't an adventurer."

"... what?

"Looks like he worked in a more public institution."

It was an unexpected answer.

I thought there was an Adventurer's Guild as an Adventurer's "Ascension" job, and I assumed it would tend to be even more so if I were that Guild Master.

I guess that's all the more true because we can dismantle animals.

"But after" Big Job, "you retired and started working for the Adventurer Guild —— something like that."

"No, no, who the hell are you? What kind of work have you been doing?

"... I don't really want to say this"

Jill pointed to one point on the menu table, saying. It said "twin tornado juice," costing 150 guillans.

"Okay, please..."

When this happens, it is regrettable that I paid for the accommodation three nights in advance.

Even 7,500 guillans from Unken should have been kept ahead of time.

It even said some fine precautions, but I also lost my temper to read them. I feel like I can drink whatever I want.

"Are you sure?

"There are no two words for a man"

"Yay, you're a man! Atashi, you wanted to try it once!

When Jill asked for an addition as a delight, the clerk earlier threw a gaze at all the shooting.

What the hell, not at all.

"So, Jill. Keep talking."

"Oh, yeah. This is absolutely useless, isn't it?

"Okay."

"Promise, huh? If I told you, I'd sneak up on Hikaru's guild card and punish you."

"I promise.... is that what you're doing?!? Don't ever do it!

"It's Mr. Unken, but I guess --"

Jill lurked her voice.

"... a secret detective under the King's command, or an assassin..."

"Yeah, so?

…………

"So?"

"... hey, I'm unresponsive!? Atashi, you said so nervously!

"No, that's how I imagined it too. But then again, I guess there's a reason Jill had that intuition."

"Yeah --"

Jill starts eating the "molassed peach parfait" that has been carried.

Should I say jelly peaches...... Apparently all of that is "honey".

I cut such molassed peaches into horns and soothe them with raw cream.

By the way, "Ganoderma Tea" was a light green tea. It just looks like green tea.

(You're too sweet... you can eat well)

I think Hikaru saw something incredible.

"--Mr. Unken came to the guild about 50 years ago."

"Oh, it's quite a year. Is that a man-norme?"

"Really? Then he finished his big job a little over 50 years ago."

"Hmm."

"A little over 50 years ago... there was a replacement in Quimbrand Empire, the neighbor of this Pawnsonian kingdom, right? At the time, the Emperor of the Empire was known as the 'Evil Emperor', the Balzad Emperor. Emperor Balzad... Wind rumors say 'assassinated'"

…………

"If this was all I had, I wouldn't have thought of Atashi, but Balzard said publicly that he would attack and destroy Pawnsonia. So, Pawnsonia was in a state of decline at the time due to the plague. It was definitely Pawnsonia who wanted to assassinate Balzard the most."

"... the circumstantial evidence is perfect"

"Yeah. So... I had an old document on my desk when I delivered it to Mr. Unken's room. That was... a thank you note from the king. Looks like he was out there a little bit letting it go, and the moment Atashi saw it for a second, he came back and couldn't ask about it. 'Did you see that?' made me look terribly scared."

"I see. You have a limited number of cases where the King would issue a thank you note. It is usually issued in the name of the Prime Minister, the heads of various organizations, or the nobility of the territory. If the king puts it out, it's common if you win a big war."

"It seems so!... How the hell does Hikaru know that?

"Once upon a time, I knew a nobleman."

"Heh..."

I'm not lying.

Jill didn't seem that interested there either.

(But... Jill's guess may not be off the hook. Roland's memory also contains information about his neighbors. You think the current emperor is a very fond figure and also has friendship with the kingdom of Pawnsonia? And the former emperor is an evil emperor)

"Then Unken means' hero of salvation '..."

"You know, it's amazing."

Jill finishes eating the molassed peach parfait followed by working on the "green apple pie".

"Mmm, yummy! I knew it was something sweet when you were stressed out!

"... I wish you were happy"

Hikaru thinks you'll never eat it yourself.

("Hero of the Redemption"... at that skill level? No, you're 151 if you were 50 years old. With that much knowledge and experience, can we go? You mean I still like the "assassination" style when I'm shaking my "covert" skills more than Unken —— but even the emperor can assassinate...)

I thought if I knew what Unken's position would be, I'd know my level, but I felt more like I didn't know.

"Well, there's one more thing I want to ask you"

"Mm-hmm. Ask me anything. Oh, you can't have Atashi's address or anything?

Jill was a question welcome mood to start eating and get in a better mood.

"... I won't ask you that"

"Huh? Aren't you gonna ask?

"Either you want me to hear it or you don't want me to hear it. —— Well, fine. I want to hear it."

Hikaru, lost in words, decided to go straight in.

"The killer who murdered Lord Morgustadt was caught. Right?
