Hikaru, who left the Merchant Guild in Toryland, hurried to find Nino.

Two pieces of information were obtained from the Merchant Guild.

One is that the loss of the right minister's leg and its cause is an accusation by the Count named Zepetta.

One is that emerging aristocrats have also come to participate in the Imperial Castle Conference, which was an old-fashioned castle.

"Hey, hey, Hikaru! Hey, too soon!

Just hearing these two pieces of information made it honest that Lavia and Paula were also "not sure".

"What are you in such a hurry!?"

"-- Things unfold faster than expected"

"Fast?"

"Probably targeted (...) the assassination of the emperor —— no, he's an emerging aristocrat"

"Duh, how could that be..."

"I'll explain later. And now I have Nino."

Nino was in business with a good merchant. We're both smiling, so I guess we're either familiar or we made a good deal.

"Nino!"

"Hmm? Oh, Mr. Hikaru. What's the matter, I told you to give me a tour of Toryland."

"Oh, come on, Mr. Nino, I don't think we've ever seen anything like this in the countryside."

"Indeed."

Haha, and the two merchants are laughing, but Hikaru grabbed Nino's arm.

"It's not about time. I want to return to the Imperial Capital."

"Yeah?

"Have you finished purchasing kownuts?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm just finishing up with you."

The merchant with the right width laughs and shows it.

"Our kownuts are good. Perfect. If you're going home today, do you want to load it up quickly?

"Oh, uh..."

"Load it up."

"Hey Mr. Hikaru!? If you leave now, it'll be night by the mountain! Then it's like telling a bandit to attack me!

"The bandits are fine, so load them up right away. Let's leave right away."

"Hey, hey, hey."

Hikaru pushed forcefully through and was to leave Toryland in a hurry within that day.

The room was rough. The furniture fell, the frames bent, the curtains were stained with wine and the liquor bottles and plates rolled.

All of them were luxury goods, but the owner of the room hit the table and broke them when he kicked the liquor bottle without even doing that.

"Son of a bitch! Those moneyguards...... I will never forgive you!!"

The right minister was desolate. That's nothing more than because he lost his leg overnight.

"Remain, well, suppressed, My Right Minister"

"Master Left, we will return you to your former position immediately."

His surroundings, the nobles, are gathered together to try to fix the mood of the right minister.

"But His Excellency the Chancellor is also a smaller vessel. The right minister says that if you're as much of a man as you are, women won't leave you alone."

"Yes, yes."

Infidelity with Mrs. Ron Borderline, which prompted the right minister to lose her legs, was like an open secret in an upstream society, so to speak. The only person I don't know is Uncle Borderline himself —— a condition like that.

It is only natural that if we put this on the table, neither the right minister nor Mrs. Borderline would be in a bad position, but there could not have been any nobleman or any other who could strongly say to the right minister in the Imperial Castle. For he was a heavy town of conservatives, both good and bad, and one pillar that supported the Empire.

"Why now Uncle Zepetta is -- whoa, it's also frustrating to treat such a trinket as an earl. I'm guessing Zepetta made accusations."

"I guess it still has something to do with His Majesty's attempted assassination."

"Ruri. But I can't do anything without proof..."

Balin, and the sound rang. The right minister stepped on a falling plate.

"... if you don't have proof, you can make him"

"And when you say —— hih!?"

Turning around, one of the troubled aristocrats raised his pity. But it would also mean that there is no choice. Because there was resentment in the eyes of the right minister until it was horrible.

"Eyes on your eyes. They made me feel so ashamed. I'm sorry if I have to multiply it and give it back to you!

The right minister barked.

That was not a loser howl, but an artillery that meant a declaration of war between nobles.

The carriage out of Toryland was all the way to the Imperial Capital.

It was Nino twisting her neck wondering how this happened.

"Go back quickly and deliver the coconut to the master of the" Full Pavilion "."

the word;

"We've got information that Rank S adventurer Renamut has exorcised bandits along the streets"

The word convinced me at the end. What Renamut is actually good. It's a mystery whether he could have handed over the soldiers turned into bandits, but it's true that he's crusaded, so it won't be a problem.

"So, Hikaru. You'll tell me what's going on, won't you?

Lavia, who couldn't even look around at the dull Tory Land, asks resentfully.

"Of course. In the meantime, I believe we need to return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible. From now on, there may be a big move"

"Big move......"

"It's a clash of nobles."

Hikaru is in the stance of doing things of his own accord, such as fighting between nobles, but this battle has begun with an assassination attempt on Kaglai. So I had a feeling it wouldn't just be something in the Imperial Castle.

I couldn't have that if I was going to wear it down to the general public because of nobility, and if I knew that and didn't stop it, I knew that I was going to sleep badly.

So I thought I'd do something about it as best I could.

"We talked about running into Renamout first, didn't we? So she said the emperor was about to be assassinated."

Hikaru and the others are walking beside the carriage. There are mountains of kownuts on the carrier, so there's no place to ride.

It has a refreshing citrus aroma.

"That was an assassination attempt."

"... what do you mean?

"Because there was no assassin in that bedroom after the Emperor."

…………

Lavia exchanged her gaze with Paula and slapped her neck.

"Look. The bearers of 'covert' abilities that don't get caught up in my 'magic detection' don't exist on this continent. You can bet on this. When I met Kagley in that room, naturally I ran Magic Detection, but there was no one in that room, and there was no magical trick."

"Yeah, so?

"I think Kagley slept right after that. It was pretty late. Then I saw him —— where he was bleeding. We'll be the first to suspect it."

"That's why Mr. Renamout came after me"

"Yes. If there is no gap for someone else to come into contact with, he would not have met anyone until Cagley was raided. It stays in our room when we leave. —— and that will prove that there are no assassins"

Lavia blinked her eyes. They haven't pinned it yet.

"In other words, there are only two possible possibilities: one is a suicide attempt by Kagley himself"

"Huh!? Suicide!?"

Surprised by the loud and noisy words, Nino turned this way.

And then Lavia made a terrible laugh.

"... Lavia, my voice is loud. For once, we're talking about confidentiality in this country."

"Oh, I'm sorry. But not too surprised."

"That's right, Master Hikaru. Don't waste it. Let me know first! It feels like the killer is being read a reasoning novel that he doesn't know until the end!

Paula blamed me too. "I'm sorry," Hikaru apologized.

As a matter of fact, deductive novels also exist in this world. But in this world where there is magic, authentic reasoning, dominated by clandestine tricks and other tricks, doesn't make much sense, and whoever killed them (Houdanit) prevails. Mainstream, I don't even have enough.

"Kagli doesn't have a motive to commit suicide, so this means Nashi. You're not even close enough to see us before you die."

"So, another possibility?

"Yes."

Hikaru nodded.

"Another possibility --"
