There has been a fuss in the Imperial Castle since morning. The emperor was about to be assassinated with a deep reverence at the apex of the empire - the emperor Cagley had taken his life by instant healing magic. However, he is in a coma because of too much blood, and the poison painted on the blade.

The "Imperial Castle Conference", the top organization that moves the Empire, was held by Prime Minister Saakimiya in the absence of the Emperor, who is the host.

"-- the above is the situation in the field"

The ministers who had followed him in the morning had heard the Prime Minister's explanation with a blue face. A few absences are those who are leaving the Imperial Capital for their duties, but there is also an expedition flying to them.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... aiming for the life of His Majesty the Emperor's treasured emperor, etc...!! Forgive me!!"

The right minister in charge of internal affairs was the big man in Kowamote. When you shake up a grip that is as good as the child's face and slap it against the table, the thick ceiling table swings with the docin.

If it is the right minister who sits on the right side of the Chancellor, then it is the left minister who is on the left.

The Left Minister is also known as the "Military Secretary" and is at the apex of the Imperial Army. But behind that rugged title, the left minister was a little sprout-like man.

"Keep it down, well, keep it down. All we can do now is pray for His Majesty's healing..."

"Stupid! What to do with such weak hips! Still a marshal!

"Wait. The Left Minister's point that don't be rough is correct"

When the prime minister told him to do so, the right minister withdrew, and the left minister laid his hand on his chest as relieved.

Rounding his gaze, most of the participants are blushing in anger.

The members here are so-called "conservationists" and many aristocrats have been able to use them for the Empire since the founding of the country. Starting with the Chancellor, they are all human beings, but they had no discomfort whatsoever with serving the mangnome.

A Kingsguard leader appeared in the conference room. He's an old man with a little Kaisel beard.

"Madam Prime Minister, ministers, I have come to the report because a detailed examination has been carried out"

"Uhm. Go on."

"Ha."

The Kingsguard commander asked your Kingsguard to bring the dagger that became the murder weapon. Dagger, that's a vicious thing with about 30 centimeters across the blade. He is wet in blood and exposed to red and black flesh.

The interior was squatted.

"This is the weapon that became the murder weapon. Looks like the killer broke into the Emperor's bedroom and tried to stab this in His Majesty's neck. But the blow failed for some reason —— presumably because His Majesty noticed the assassination and was sent, but then His Majesty rang the bell and it appears that the killer escaped because the Kingsguard stepped into the bedroom"

The ministers who heard it say "what a despicable" or "did you let the killer get away with it".

One of the prime ministers approached the Kingsguard and grabbed the dagger over the gloves handed to him.

"... Mm. This seems to have a lot of gravity ahead of it."

"Ha. I can say it's a rare type of dagger. This may not be the case for special reasons, but simply because of the length of your body, the front is heavier than the pattern. We're currently investigating a blacksmith who deals with the shape of this hand."

"Hmm..."

When the Chancellor returns the dagger, contemplating,

"Commander of the Kingsguard, isn't it a little strange what you're saying!

The right minister said to bark.

"... and you said?

"Your Majesty rang the bell, and a Kingsguard who was in the hallway must have stepped in! If so, wouldn't there have been an assassin indoors!

"Yes, you're right in common sense. But it is the testimony of the close guards that there was no one but His Majesty."

"You ran out the window."

"No, the key to the window was hung."

"So it's not a mistake or an overlook!?"

"We don't think that's going to happen either. If this is one or two people, make some mistakes in the dark room. But just when the crime was committed, it was time for a watch shift, when four close guards stepped indoors. There's no way four of us can overlook it."

"Then where did the killer go!

Shin, and a quiet indoor.

The Kingsguard leader had a difficult face and said:

"... even with four Kingsguards, you can disappear... masters of secrecy, I'm thinking of a line. The man appeared to have been visiting His Majesty's former secretly last night as a 'guest'"

"What!? Chancellor, do you know about that?!?"

Asked, the Chancellor had to nod.

"If His Majesty hangs directly in his eyes, such a master of secrecy... even if there are four strong men of our legion, he may be able to disappear"

The Kingsguard leader continues to turn his harsh gaze to the Chancellor.

"The master is called The Silver Face."

The Chancellor, who cut up a rough meeting in havoc, hurried back to the office in the Imperial Castle.

It was huge, but the room was filled with paper smells, which were narrow and loaded with materials and letters. The secretaries are waiting for the prime minister to return and guide him to the reception table.

"How was it, the Imperial Castle Conference?"

"Very unlikely. Now they're going to make a move by saying 'The killer is Silver Face'. Have you captured the trend in Silver Face?

"That's what I've been missing since last night..."

"Damn. There's no defense for his behavior, either. No way Silverface made His Majesty the Emperor......? No, he has no reason to do things"

"Your Eminence, the customer is waiting for you"

One woman was drinking tea at the reception table, which was managed to be set, pushing through piles of booklets and books. The outfit was that of a civilian who was not worthy of the royal castle where the nobility walked wide. She herself, however, had no apparent concern for her outfit at all, and was tauntingly self-absorbed.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Renamout."

"--…… No"

After a unique time, the guest, Renamut, replied. The worried eyes are not directed at the Chancellor sitting across the street and I'm not sure where I'm looking.

"The secretaries told you what happened, didn't they?

Kokuri, and Renamut nodding.

"We are looking for Silver Face. It's painful to ask you in Rank S to do this..."

"--… No, it's no problem. I met him once..."

"With that said, Silverface had a face on the Adventurer Alliance."

"--but he is not the one who tried to kill His Majesty the Emperor"

That, to put it in a way close to assertiveness, the Chancellor was hacked.

"Do you have confirmation?

But Renamut shook his head to the side.

"--I just feel like that (...)"

"Right...... But Lord Renamout will win. At the very least, if His Majesty hears from you, I'll go ahead with the investigation... but I just have to pray and wait for all this. Lord Renamout, I'd like you to search for Silverface."

Kokuri, nodded and Renamut stood up.

And he didn't stand one footstep, and left as if there was no one there from the beginning.

"... Chancellor, no matter how much Lunamoot is a Rank S adventurer, isn't it just hard to find Master Silverface? Too many clues."

Make sure she walked away, the secretary said.

"That would be the same for knights and soldiers. It must be hard to find Silver Face no matter who you are looking for. If it is impossible for Lord Renamut, isn't it something no one in this world can do?

"Indeed."

"The problem is, it's not silver face. It means who did it. There can be no way that an assassin escapes with a single blow and a missed opponent. It's got to be about confirming the opponent's destiny first, rather than running away."

"Well when they say so... but they weren't there anymore when the Kingsguard stepped in, were they?

"Hmm. Then... I don't want to think about it"

The Chancellor snaps to make sure no one can hear him when he returns to his desk early.

"… a line called His Majesty's Do-it-Yourself (Match Pump). But then I don't know what the purpose is..."
