Episode 46: Cold and Sweet Voices
Lynn was running around the 90 tier.
To hit on Elios' friends and acquaintances and ask them if they know anything about the truth about his death.
Lynn was upset.
I still couldn't believe him.
I can't believe Ellios died talking normally until about a month ago.
Lynn rebuts the conversation she had earlier with Agulu while running.
"Mr. Ellios is dead? Oh, no. Why?
"Suddenly the association contacted me. He asked me to take Elios' artifacts. Looks like he used us to pick up the artifact."
"Artifacts? How could that be..."
"It's the practice of over 100 hierarchical magicians. It's not strange whenever you go over 100 hierarchical, so I'll designate a person to receive artifacts for times of need..., I can't believe Ellios would die so easily"
Agulu gives a desperate look like the end of the world has come.
Lynn looked at Sheila without knowing what to say.
She stayed on her knees the whole time. Not very much, but I didn't feel like speaking up or peeking into my face.
"Ask the association and they won't tell me anything. We don't know anything for ourselves. Ask the branch of the Association 100 hierarchy. That's a little tight. Shit. There's no way you can go. I can't believe you're on the 100th floor. They're not the only ones who forbid college students to come in."
Agr says abominably.
"Anyway, we're going to the association now to pick up Elios' artifacts. Not if you're having lunch. I'm sorry you're here."
Aggle gets up.
"No... that's not..."
Lynn just stood still.
After breaking up with Agulu, Theo called out that Lynn was walking with Tobotobo.
"Hey, Lynn."
"Ah, Theo."
Lynn replies with an indifferent voice.
"Hear that? Elios is dead."
"Theo. How do you know that?
"It's already rumored all over the college. The source of the information sounds like a nobleman. It sounds like it came from someone I know on the 100 tiers."
"… aristocracy"
Lynn remembered what Ellios was saying when he graduated. He was appealing for redress of inequalities between nobles and civilians.
"Theo, Mr. Ellios was saying. He wants to improve the status of civilians in the tower. Not only from the nobles, but also from the civilian class."
"Chip. Ellios' idiot. There are nobles on the top tier of the tower. You know what I mean when I think about it."
Lynn ran out.
"Hey Lynn. Where are you going?"
Theo calls it off, but Lynn runs away without worrying about it either.
(We need to find out. How did Mr. Ellios die)
Lynn ran around the 90 tier looking for the people who were there when Ellios graduated.
But whoever I asked, I didn't know anything more than what Agle or Theo were talking about.
When the number of people listening was about 10, Lynn finally realized she was only asking people in the civilian class.
(Right. What's with all the aristocracy in the upper echelons? That means you might know something if you ask someone in the aristocratic class who knows you in the upper tier. Speaking of the aristocratic class close to Mr. Ellios......)
That's what Lynn thought. There was a man of interest in the group that was just coming here.
"Mr. Kruga!
When Lynn stops calling, she turns around.
"Hmm? Lynn. Sorry, guys. Just go ahead."
Kruga makes the people around him go first. There were only two people in the hallway, Lynn and Kruga.
"Um. Mr. Kruga. About Mr. Ellios..."
As soon as he gives Elios' name, Kruga turns a blind eye by gently clouding his face.
"Sorry, Lynn. I'm not sure I know more than 100 levels, either. If that's the case, ask the others."
(Liar)
Lynn intuited.
Keep talking to Kruga, who tries to go ahead.
"Mr. Kruga! When Mr. Ellios graduated, you tried to say something and stop him, didn't you? What did you try to say then? I knew this could happen..."
"Ugh. I don't know. You're stuck!
Kruga shouted to let it go.
Soon afterwards, he looks hazy and awkward.
"Bad. You have a rough voice."
"... no. Excuse me for this one. I've been listening so hard."
Lynn said in an emotionless voice.
"Anyway, I don't know the details either. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now."
That's what Kruga says. He turns his heel back.
Lynn also heard Kruga snapping when she tried to walk away from the scene.
"I stopped. I didn't listen to him. I'm sorry."
Lynn came back to the 50th tier at twilight on the way.
The class I was supposed to take this afternoon was also soaked up and asked around various people, but in the end I never got any dizzying information.
(Ha. What should I do? I don't know anyone else who knows Mr. Ellios. Maybe the aristocracy knows something, but I can't believe I know the aristocracy...)
"Shall I tell you?
I hear a cold, but very sweet voice in Lynn's ear.
"... Yuven"
"Mr. Ellios, you're dead. Poor thing. My condolences. You admired Mr. Ellios and took care of him a lot. It will be hard. I can't believe this is the last time..."
"Yuven, do you know how Mr. Ellios died?
"Yes, of course. Everyone in the aristocracy knows that. Nobody told you?
"Tell me. What the hell is Mr. Ellios..."
Lynn asked with a sobering thought.
But Yuven had that zoggly mean grin of an example.
"No. Why should I teach you? You must be satisfied with the status quo. Then you don't need to know what's going on up there."
Lynn was stunned.
"No, don't say that, tell me"
"Lynn, I don't think I'm interested in you anymore. I have nothing more to talk to you about. That's the last time I'll bully you. Please feel free to be anxiously frightened."
