The Villainess Will Crush Her Destruction End Through Modern Firepower

…………………

─ ─ Villain warrant lady and cursed monster

As the season gradually headed into winter, I was on the run for a golden measure.

Almost three years of Destiny's High Ministry are coming. We have to make sure we have enough storage in case of that!

"I've been thinking about that for a long time, but isn't that pretty much a concern of yours?

"What are you talking about, Beth! I am firmly prepared for the future! If I lose in the Imperial Civil War, I'll have to flee to a third country to start over! It's not just the money we have right now, but we can't have a great first-rate company!

"Ha...... I don't know why you so naturally assume a civil war in an empire, and I don't think a magician like you would easily lose in the first place."

Think of Beth as someone else! Nobody knows how to win or lose a war!

"So, the money measure."

"Yes, he's a helping magician!

Beth and I are visiting the Alliance of Adventurers!

"... couldn't you come up with a better way?

"'Cause tell me what else you can do. I'm a student."

"You could have gotten a lot of money by publishing a book explaining your magic. Of course, it's limited to magic other than Lost Magic."

You had that hand!

But I've never written a paper before, even though I've read it. And I'm upset about writing a paper on reason.

"Fair enough. I have some friends I built here, and no problem!

"Isn't there only a problem………………"

If the Duchess Warrant was helping the sorcerer, that would be a problem. Yes.

"Mr. Petra! Long time no see!

"Ooh. Astrid. Is the cultural festival over yet?

"The cultural festival is over!

I haven't had a chance to show my face to the Adventurer Guild lately because it's a cultural festival or because of Adolf's suspicion of cheating.

But I'm free today! We're gonna make some money! Ooh!

"So, who's that blue and white over there?

"This is my classmate Beth! I'm going to be a magician today!

Mr. Petra asks, but I push Beth out and introduce her.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Elizabeth Louise von Donnersmarck, and I'm sure you'll be just as helpful this time as Mr. Astrid, thank you."

"Oh. Nice to meet you, Elizabeth."

Mr. Gertrude smiled as Beth greeted him like a nobleman.

"Is that it? Wasn't Donnersmarck a great rich house?

"Yeah. So my share of the reward is fine. I'm just here with Mr. Astrid."

Well, if I get paid to Beth, everyone's share will be reduced, and the truth is, I was talking about Beth having enough assets to not need a reward.

"That's slightly bad, but are you sure that's okay?

"I don't mind. Because I also wanted to take a tour of what it was like to be an adventurer. Of course I'm not going to pull your leg. If it's Blood Magic, I'll take care of it."

Beth nodded to confirm.

"Well, I'm going to finish my registration."

Beth told him so and headed to the counter.

"Your friend, you're unusual, Astrid"

"Well, not as good as I am."

I think Beth is in the common sense category.

"By the way, what quest are you on today?

"I'm looking for people. There were consecutive cases of travelers missing in a village, and the lord asked me to search for them. I hear the villagers are terribly upset too."

"Hmm. Looking for people isn't going to be a mess, is it?"

I may ask Fenrir to follow the smell if I have to, but I still don't tell Mr. Gertrude about Fenrir.

"Registration is over. Are you ready for the quest?

"Yeah. 'Cause I'm looking for people. They say it's less dangerous."

I tell Beth the details of the quest that Mr. Gertrude told me about.

"Is the traveler missing? That stinks."

Are you expecting something noisy?

"Well, maybe it's my fault. Never mind."

I'd care if you said that! I'm worried sick!

"So the village in question is far away?

"No. We're not that far away. About three hours in the carriage."

It's the weekend, so it'll be all right if we take three hours!

"So shall we go? Astrid needs help with fire as usual. Elizabeth, you ask for treatment if it was a Brad Magic entanglement or if the wounded came out."

"Roger!"

Thus it was decided to head towards solving our mysterious village disappearance case.

What a reward of 300,000 markups. It's expensive because the lords say merchants are now avoiding passing through their territory and are having trouble taking taxes.

But the quest is not particularly dangerous. Let's settle this for you!

…………………

…………………

The village in question was one surrounded by woods.

There were streets in the woods, and along the way there was the village.

"I come to greet the village chief. Petra and the others will be waiting."

"Aye."

Mr. Gertrude went first to see the head of this village.

"He said there's a missing persons case going on around here. People in the village can't get out of the village because they're scared. You're in trouble."

"Yeah. How did the travelers go missing? You'll need to investigate that."

Beth is like a detective drama woman detective. The whispering FBI, I guess?

"So, Beth's taking the victim's DNA!

"So no, you can't. Uh, what is it.........?

I tried to say something like a detective, but it didn't seem to make sense.

"What do you think I should do for now?

"We should trace the whereabouts of the missing persons. If I had a wolf's nose, it would be an instant."

"Fenrir, can I get it out?

"That's by last resort"

Huh. I think if we let Fenrill out, we'll solve it in one shot.

"Then what do you do?

"It would be one thing to follow footprints and other traces. But I don't seem suspicious about this village. Missing persons are awake concentrated around this village alone. And the streets here were maintained, and patrols were also carried out by soldiers of the Lords since the disappearances came out. And yet the missing are still out."

"You smell like tea, this village."

What Beth is saying is good.

If you say you were attacked by bandits in the streets, the soldiers on patrol will catch some signs. And this village is the starting point for the continuum of missing persons in all these well-kept streets.

This village is doomed and suspicious.

"Well, it's possible that some of them are involved in crime even if they don't go as far as the whole village. Still, this is just speculation. We have to get solid evidence."

Evidence. I can't use fingerprints or DNA or any of the latest scientific investigative methods, but what are we going to do?

"You kept me waiting. I've spoken to the village chief. The traveler seems to have left this village and then left along the street, but he doesn't know where he went after that. The villagers are horrible and they don't have access to the streets."

After a while, Mr. Gertrude came back and said that.

"So, you want to search the streets?

"Don't be. Let's find out if there's anything suspicious."

Thus we leave the suspicious village and go down the street.

"I don't see any abnormalities, especially when I say this..."

Mr. Petra searched the perimeter of the street seriously, but could not find any trace of the traveler. I was hoping it would be a minor residue, but there was nothing left. If the traveler doesn't find the luggage he had, there's no trace of blood.

"This is great work. Even though the streets are patrolled by lord soldiers, I don't think there are idiots who work here in a row for banditry."

"…… is it that village that is suspicious?"

It was when Mr Petra and Mr Gertrude tried to draw such conclusions.

"Ah! Something's falling in that bush over there!

Mr. Ernesta found something and raised his voice.

I went to see what it was and found out that it was a bloody cloth cut. And from that cloth cut, the traces of blood gradually lead to the depths of the forest.

"What do you think lies ahead?

"Definitely a corpse."

Mr. Petra responded to Mr. Gertrude's question with a light response.

"Proceed with caution. Traces of blood are old, but we don't know what's lurking."

Mr. Gertrude and his men chased traces of blood in battle formation.

"There it is. Corpse."

And we found the body.

It's a traveler's corpse and his body is choosen like a beast eaten him. The bones were torn apart and found to have been eaten to death by the beast.

"Are there wolves or bears around here? But it's weird if the beast did it."

"Oh. The wound is in a strange position, and neither the wolf nor the bear would want to steal the golden-eyed object in the first place"

Mr. Petra and Mr. Gertrude, who are grossly resistant, say so.

"I mean, do you mean the human work that made it look like the work of the beast?

"It looks like the beast really attacked me. This wound is not a knife or other wound. Definitely what the fangs of the beast decided. I don't think there are people who can kill like this."

Yeah? Sounds like human work, but beast work remains evidence?

"This isn't the first time I've seen a body like this, but even before, its identity was unknown. In the end, the killer was not caught and fled somewhere. But in the past, we were passive with one or two murders, whereas the murders here are serial."

"I mean, the killer may not have escaped yet."

I couldn't catch the killer because he was previously an exorcist and the killer was unknown, but this time, the situation is different?

Whoever does this awful thing has to be caught!

"Mr. Astrid. Can you come over here for a second?

"What is it, Beth?

Me and Beth head down the street, away from Mr. Gertrude and the others who are looking into the body for Beth to call me.

"Can you get Fenrill out? I think that solves one of the problems. All you have to do is put it on your face."

"Okay. Fenrill, come."

I slightly opened the gap in the space and called Fenrill.

"Hmm. Are you rubbing with the crap people?

"Crap people?

I tilt my neck when Fenrir tells me the most.

"Human defeats. Wolf damage. I mean, a werewolf."

"Wolf!

I knew the word "werewolf," but I'm surprised it really exists.

Well, it's a fantasy world of swords and magic, and is there about a werewolf? As far as I'm concerned, I hope it's as peaceful as cat ear girl. Even dog-eared boys are fine.

"Wolf. Poor people. You can't be a man, you can't be a wolf, you can't come halfway. They continue to be excluded from society, causing a crappy noise when they get lost. As a hunting prey, it's a fair match."

"Wolf, you're struggling..."

The werewolf, in other words, is excluded from being different from the human being even if he tries to blend into human society, and is alerted because there are human traces even if he tries to join the wolf herd.

Too pathetic.

"But you shouldn't look at werewolves sweetly. They exercise advanced blood magic and boast superhuman physical abilities. And unlike the wolves, it's cunning. If the werewolf is involved in this case, it will be difficult to solve it."

Beth said that with a contemplative expression.

"Isn't a werewolf sick or something? Infection from person to person?

"No. The werewolf is a race. It's just that every child born to a werewolf is a werewolf and every child conceived by a werewolf is a werewolf."

I'm a little relieved you won't get the infection. Japanese subculture often told me that werewolves get infected when they bite with zombies and vampires.

"But the question is, who is the werewolf? If all those villagers were werewolves, you wouldn't bother telling your lord there were missing persons, etc. We have to find the killer among the villagers."

"Right. Wolves are usually alone."

That should have been the case in the werewolf game.

"You can't be sure you're alone without looking at that villager's family composition. You'll need to look into that village roots first. There should have been a small church in that village. The Church records all sorts of things, so you can guess."

"I see!

Beth really feels like a female agent.

"Astrid, I checked the body, but it looks like more than one wolf or bear attacked me. Well, human-like beasts who steal hardware. This case stinks a lot. Maybe we should look into the village for once."

After a while, Mr. Gertrude and the others come back. I rush Fenrill into the space gap and block the space gap.

"Then let's go to that village church! You might find something out there!

"No. It wouldn't mean you went to church. No matter how many priests, I don't think they know who did it."

"Yes, no. I think there are a few things I can tell."

We can't tell you how we found out who did it, so we have no choice but to stay here. But it is certainly difficult to explain the need to go to church in a murder investigation.

"Mr. Gertrude. I had the chance to see the murder of this hand. According to that, the killer is definitely a werewolf. You can think of a werewolf lurking somewhere in that village."

That's what Beth told me! But there's nothing wrong with that.

"A werewolf... You've never worshipped the real thing, have you? I hear you're a pretty bad person. They tear apart human limbs with their bare hands at everything and run around like crazy at a speed that's not even in their eyes."

Wow. It looks like a troublesome monster. But I can fight with combat compatibility measures!

"The werewolf cleverly hides his identity on it. It won't be easy to find."

The werewolf seems to be confused by a human being. Looking for a werewolf would be a struggle.

Hmm. After all, do we have to investigate into the tunnels in the church?

So how do we find out who's the werewolf?

"Beth. How do you find a werewolf?

"The werewolf will resist if his identity is about to be revealed. So secretly, we have to use Blood Magic to find the killer. Fortunately, I do have the Blood Magic I need to distinguish between a werewolf and something that isn't."

"Ooh! With that, you'll soon find out who did it!

"But in this Blood Magic investigation, you have to stay in contact with the subject for long periods of time, which can be fatal when the person exposes their nature along the way."

"Ugh, hmm. Kind of dangerous..."

Wouldn't it be hard if it were that easy?

"Shouldn't we just shake it with the body just now? It shouldn't mean you didn't notice the body rolling about 45 minutes on foot from the village."

"Nice idea!

Let's rock the villagers from that corpse and see, and search for the guy who made the suspicious move!

"Then let's get back to the village quickly! We have to shake it up and let the blubber out!

"Right. Even if it takes too long, it doesn't affect students."

Mr. Petra also considers that I am a student. What a sweet man.

For one reason or another, we returned to a suspicious village.

"I found the body of someone who must be one of the missing persons. Looks like he was attacked by multiple beasts and died. But all the money had been taken from the body. That's 45 minutes from here, too. Have you seen any wolves or warcraft here lately?

"Speaking of which, I think there have been more wolves. I'm sure the traveler suffered the damage, and the heartless stole money from the body."

Mr. Gertrude tells me that the village chief looked so sad that his heart ached.

"Right. So, we're going to ask each and every one of the villagers about this, but you don't mind, do you?

"That is…………. I know some villagers are upset that something like that has happened near this peaceful village, so this is from me"

Suspicious. Dismantling. Suspicious.

"But the client's lord says he can do whatever it takes to investigate. Unfortunately, we have to ask you about this."

Mr. Gertrude said that to the village chief with perseverance that he thought it suspicious too.

"Then we turn to the villagers to hear their reaction to the incident. Astrid and Elizabeth, if you have anything to look into at the church, go there."

"Yes!"

Mr. Gertrude is comforting.

"Bye, Beth. We'll find out about the village in the church!

"Yeah. Let's do that. There has to be some kind of harvest."

So we went to the small church in the village.

"Hello! I just came to check something out!

The priest turned to me a little surprised that I greeted him with momentum.

"Are you looking into it? Like what?

"We would like to refer to the origins of the inhabitants of this village, the genealogical maps, etc. Is it possible?

"Is it a lineage diagram? The material in that hand was almost lost in a fire three years ago. I'm sorry I can't help you."

The fire burned my family tree! You don't have the materials to help you!

"Really? I mean, you're one of them. And here..."

I hear the anger of Mr. Petra and the others from the outside.

Isn't this yummy...?

"Before the time runs out, you should submit the dossier or show yourself, werewolf."

And Beth said something amazing to the priest.

Huh? Is the priest a werewolf, too?
