Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Lesson 604: Public Executions
I know where the Black Dogs, including the Effe, are, but it won't be easy for them to believe us. It's going to take a while, but we'll just have to be patient and talk to the Eff.
If the Effe were a total enemy, I wouldn't mind dying, so I'm going to ask Heine and Pilte to read their blood memories... If only the Black Dogs were being manipulated and could fight together, there wouldn't be any more reliable people in the demon world.
If you kill Efraim here, you will be cut off from the road. If we can, it would be best if you believed we weren't enemies while pulling out the information so we don't have to.
"It's going to take a while."
"... yes, but even if it's a little bit, it should be moving forward."
"... I see."
I feel anxious, but I can't do anything in a hurry. That's why we're doing what we can. It's the same thing I always do.
Gah! Gah!
While listening to the sound of the chains echoing in the basement, Nil and I went up to the first floor.
"Did you hear anything?"
Back up, Heine calls out immediately. Apparently, he was awake.
I didn't feel that much time had passed, but it was already before noon. It seems that the time has passed before the experience.
"I've made some progress, but... it's still going to take a while."
I'll tell you more when I have all the pilates. Where are you two? "
“Right now, the two of you are going out to buy lunch.”
I wink and say hello.
I'm glad you two got along, but... it looks like Surakutan's been pretty rough.
If you do it too explicitly, isn't it counterproductive?
"Suratan is not full, so listen to me." I wouldn't do this if I really didn't want to.
If the two of you think it's okay, you can do it even more explicitly. "
"Oh, is that so..."
"Both Piltee and Suratan are really good at this kind of thing." I have to do something! "
”Oh, oh... your hands are soft...?”
If I do it, I'll clench my fist. I'm sure Surakutan won't be able to escape anymore... I don't think he's going to be able to escape, so maybe it's okay.
When I do that, Piltee and Surakitan come back.
However, there was no sign of any progress between the two of them, and it was confidential that Heine was tonguing in the shadows.
That said, first of all, I will pass on the information obtained from the EF to everyone.
"I see... the black dog is moving as our enemy because of the presence behind it. If you notice that, there is no reason for the black dog to fight us."
But then, shouldn't we have told you from the beginning that we weren't enemies? "
"Do you think we can say that and the black dog can easily believe it?"
"Ugh... I'm sure..."
"Besides, it is absolutely necessary to decide whether the black dog is an enemy or not."
If we say we're on the same side and get close, we're done. I know almost nothing about the situation in the demon world. "
"Not all the stories and reactions I heard from the Dark Elf woman named Efu are true, but it is necessary to take the time to proceed."
What we have been entrusted with by the Aravol lord is so heavy. You can never fail. ”
"That's right... I'm sorry..."
Mother?
"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to blame Suratan!"
"Well, well, that's an important project for Heine." I want you to be like that, too. "
"... yeah."
If we make one mistake here, and it becomes fatal, it will cause unimaginable damage. If it had the effect of greatly weakening the demon race, it would not only be harmful to the demon race, but would also cause too much damage in the subsequent battle against the Holy Knights.
Even if we fought together in a great alliance, without the help of the demons, we would probably not be able to defeat the Holy Knights.
Without greatly weakening the Demon Race, it was absolutely necessary to resolve the situation and obtain the cooperation of the Demon Race.
We've been asked to stand around so far, but from here on we have to be even more careful.
"That said, there's not much we can do right now." For the time being, there would be no problem if I focused on the Effe. Don't be so depressed. "
"That's right! Don't be distracted because I'm sorry?"
"Mother sometimes talks too harshly, so I've always told you to be careful..."
"I'm sorry!" Forgive me! "
Heine and Pilte sometimes turn their positions around like this. Proof of our good friendship. A smiling sight, I suppose.
And... it looks like Heine is trying to develop the relationship between the two of them, but the distance between Sura and Piltee may be unexpectedly close.
Well… Surakuta, I'm good to go, aren't I?
“Yeah, I think we're good. However, if there is dizziness, headache, or something abnormal in your body, please tell me immediately."
“Roger that. Then we'll go out to the city for lunch.”
"I see. Ah... but someone hasn't seen the Ef?"
"Then I'll ask Pure Tan to take a look at the slimes, so it's okay."
"You've got that hand, haven't you?"
"Fufufu. It's about time everyone realized how slime is." This evening, I was thinking about the slime. "
I don't need it!
”Ugh... Shinya-kun is still spicy today...”
Eat lunch and take a breath while avoiding the Sulatan Slime Festival.
"Speaking of which, how much of a disguise should I do?" I was told I should disguise myself... is that all right? "
By disguising myself, I'm going to carry a fake ring plus a weapon.
"Sinya-san... then you can't do it at all."
"Ugh?!"
Shinya-kun, let's at least hide our faces...
Heine and Surakutan sighed and pointed out...
Pilte and Nil also laughed bitterly.
Is that what you're going to do?
"You don't know how much you're doing and how much attention you're getting from people... maybe you're just like Shinya... but that's fine." I'll tell you what a disguise I am! "
Apparently, the mindset was extremely sweet.
For some reason, Heine caught fire, and I'm thoroughly disguised.
The weapons are straight swords, dusty clothes with unpleasant colors above and below, and coats that are too flashy and not too plain. I naturally changed the color of my hair and wrapped it up to a white cloth to cover half my face.
Yeah! Perfect!
”I-It's really necessary to go this far... is that really necessary?”
"What are you talking about?" This is a disguise that is as light as it can be. ”
"This is it..."
"Master."
Oh! Nil!
Nil transforms into a child figure and becomes small and disguised. No, I'm not at the level of disguise anymore...
Pilte, Slatan, and Heine, each in disguise, were not easily found out, and were finally ready to leave.
"The disguise is... so deep..."
“If I hadn't become a celebrity so far, I wouldn't have to worry about it, but I'm a city hero now. You can't fool the eyes of the masses in such a mischievous disguise. Do you understand me?"
"... yes..."
I don't normally know any disguise, and it seems that the way of thinking was too sweet.....
But... even though it's supposed to be the same, you did a good job of disguising it?
I thought so, and when I looked at the slack, my chest stretched out and I looked at her face.
I could tell from my prideful expression... I must have received guidance from around Pilate first.
I can't untie you...
"Master, it's about time."
Minnil says it with a serious face.
Nil, who always likes the word "beautiful", is cute when she looks like a child... this is a paternal instinct that can't be a maternal instinct...?
Master?
Nil looks up at me with a small leaning neck in the form of a child.
Ugh... it's cute.
I can't leave forever because I'm afraid.
"Oh, yeah. Let's go."
"Nil-chan, I'll give you a hug!"
"Huh?!"
He held up Nil, who was about to leave with a serious look on his face.
"Ah! You're a cunning mother!"
I almost said, "You're a cunning mother!"
Nil's childhood is so cute.
Originally I met Nil in a childhood, but now I feel more uncomfortable in a childhood. However, when Nil, who was originally a beauty, turned into a child, she had a different destructive power than Nil, who was an adult.
Don't get me wrong. I'm never Loricon. This is like fatherhood without motherhood. I mean... who are you excusing...
"It's my turn! Next time, I'll cuddle!" That's enough! "
"No, no! Um! I can walk alone!"
"Fufufu, you're so cute to be strong!"
That's enough! That's enough!
I don't know... what the hell is going on here...
Well, as long as Nil hides her shackles, she looks like a normal child, and as long as her parents hug her, there's nothing wrong with that... well... okay.
It's time to go.
Yes!
We can hold Nil and listen to Heine's high tension reply, and we leave the Mansion.
We're in an upscale neighborhood lined with aristocratic homes. Since there are not so many people coming and going, you will not be surrounded by people all of a sudden.
We're going from the east side of the city to the west.
Public executions take place in the middle of the city. It is the central square. It seems that the square is quite large, but if people come from the surrounding area in addition to the people in the city, there will be a number that will not fit into the boulder, but... there will be no more places.
As we head west, the number of people walking along the road gradually increases.
Looking at the people on the road, there are many people who are injured, and the magnitude of the damage suffered in this case is well understood. Naturally, there is resentment in their eyes, and I can see that they are waiting for Bourdon's execution now or later.
"It's heavy air..."
It's not like the parade...
As Pilte says, the whole city is covered in an unusual atmosphere, and there is a unique air flowing through it. I don't know whether it is best to describe the air as heavy, but it will not be light.
"I can't help but go to the central square."
That's right.
We headed straight west, near Central Square.
”Tsk... amazing number of people...”
Honestly, I didn't expect the numbers to gather so far. After all, it's an execution, a death sentence.
But there are people, people, people in the square.
I don't know how many people there are.
If you look closely, there are children inside.
Are you kidding me?! I'm sure it's because I'm Japanese. It seems that public executions are not uncommon in themselves, and for them, this is only one aspect of life.
Thanks to the disguise, we won't be particularly noticed, and we'll be able to get lost in the crowd...
"... there are too many people in the flowing rocks." You can't go in here. ”
I see... I don't know if I'm confident that I can get in here too...
"... then let's climb up."
Heine points his finger upwards.
On the roof, you can see the square.
That's right.
At times like these, a body with a high level of physical ability is really useful. We got into a no-person trail, and we were sitting on the roof.
"From above, it's even more amazing..."
The large square is filled with people, as if it were a single creature.
In the middle of the creature is a large wooden neck hanging stand.
I didn't know how to execute her, but I'm glad it wasn't Guillotine... We don't have much to do with either, but when the children in the square see it, Guillotine bleeds... no, it doesn't matter because she sees death in the end...
"We're not used to this kind of thing, so it feels really strange."
"That's right..."
It looks like it's about to start.
Pilte calls out to me and Slatan, showing the edge of the square with his index finger.
From the location shown, you can see a figure walking out on the only unmanned path that leads from the center square to the center of the central square in a mass of people filling the square.
"Is that...?"
The figure walking towards the center of the square is quite far away from our position, but I can only see that he has never seen it.
"Probably one of the people working for this city right now."
According to what I heard last night, the high nobles said that they had left Janoia, and they were second only to them. "
It looks like Kevin and Hanasa are also following me from behind.
As Surakitan said, behind those who were walking at the head, several people were moving together to the center of the square, among them Kevin and Hanatha.
Kevin-sama... your right hand and right leg are coming out at the same time...
"Haha. It's true. Ah. Hanasa said something to me.”
Even in this situation, Kevin and Hanatha still look the same, and our tensions ease a little.
"Silence!!"
The folk, who were rough, quietly heard the voice of the aristocratic man who rose to the central hanging platform.
The voice of the man who came up to the hanging platform reached us, and it seemed that the wind magic was delivering the voice to the entire square.
The aristocratic man, after seeing everyone calm down, falls back and another man comes forward instead.
"Ladies and gentlemen!! I know you have feelings for Boudon-Fjorde and you have something to say!" For now, please listen to me! "
It was a man of two tribes who came forward.
She wears something like a tuxedo, and she's pretty bitchy.
"I am just a... man... born and raised in this city called Karde."
I dress like this, but I'm an irresistible furniture craftsman, a man who doesn't make a lot of money, who doesn't get up. ”
I thought you were an aristocrat because you were dressed in good quality clothes, but it seems to be different.
"But... even so, I had a beloved wife and child, and I lived a poor but happy day."
I couldn't afford the luxury, but for me, it was just the presence of my wife, son, and daughter... that was all I was happy with. ”
The man is lowering his gaze with a rocket-like object hanging from his chest in his right hand.
"And yet!! overnight! Just overnight! My happiness has collapsed!"
………………
"My wife... my son... my daughter... uuuu..."
As the people listen to the voice of the man, the man remembers his family and weeps.
”Terrible... it looked terrible... I don't want to talk about it...”
There are many people here who are in the same situation as him.
There are many who weep in the same way in his words.
"Did my wife do something?! Did you do something like that to a young son or daughter who was less than ten years old?!"
In his story, he himself is a furniture maker who can't sell. Nevertheless, he was satisfied with the life.
Such a man would never have dyed his hands on a bad thing. On the contrary, he even looks like someone who cares about good every day.
I don't think such a man's wife, son, or daughter ever had to be killed. Not to mention that the child is not yet ten years old.
"If I can replace you, I will give my life right now!" So if my wife and kids are coming back, I won't hesitate!
But... neither my wife nor my children... are coming back!! "
Loud as a broken throat.
Listening to us makes me feel like I can squeeze my chest.
The people also raised their voices as if they were returning to the man's voice.
I don't know what you're talking about, but I know what you're talking about.
"It was the villainous bandits who took my wife and children!" But! No one else pulled it in! It was that Boudon-Fjorde!
Originally, the man who defended this city took the lives of our family and friends!!
Is this permissible?! No way!! I will never forgive that man!!! "
As the building swayed against the man's voice, the people raised their voices.
"Besides! That man was supposed to be the most repugnant Zalain!!" The man built it himself and sold it!
I also lost my dear friend to Zarain... his end was truly spectacular and painful...
Can I forgive this outrage?!
No! Definitely not!!
I will never forgive him!! "
Every time a man's voice echoes, the people in the square are enraged with enthusiasm. No… Maybe it's more murderous than hot.
From there, the man stepped back and the first aristocratic man came forward.
The man, quite the opposite of the man named Karde who had been angry before, exposed many of Bourdon's evil deeds.
In broad brackets, it's like attracting bandits, cultivating and trading Zalain, enslaving ordinary citizens, etcetera... To put it simply, a man who worked as many bad things as he could think of, and the damage was immeasurable.
Even so, he's a terrible villain because he says all the bad things haven't been revealed yet.
Of course, the eyes of the people listening to it are full of murderous intent, and it is strange that there is no riot.
"Kill me! Kill that scum quickly!!"
"Please clear my husband's mindlessness!"
By the time the aristocratic man pleaded guilty, the voice of the people continued to be heard saying, "Kill him quickly."
