Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Hah... okay. Let's talk. Hulina was the one who cared.

Etha, who is known to hate nobility, doesn't look bad to Prithue either.

"Thank you!

"Son..."

A woman close to me speaks as if she heard me. [M] Hold it down. Hold it down, I...

"Lisa, tongue slapping? After a long time, it's not a fist..."

"Ok! Listen carefully!

"Good.

I'm so glad Etha's here...

"First of all, why do you think I gave you the wound medicine without showing my face?

"Er...."

I don't know if you really don't know, or if it's an act, but... it's a PritHugh that twists his neck with his index finger on his chin.

"I hate aristocrats, but I don't want to stand out more now than that. Even for free, it stands out about Etha and Hulina. It will attract the attention of many people if there is even a relationship with the aristocrats.

I told Hulina to lie down, but she knows my name. It's hard to believe that Hülina broke her promise, and it wasn't Hülina who gave me her name.

"Ugh..."

"I know you're an adventurer when you look at yourself, and if you ask the commercial guild who gave you the wound medicine... you'll soon know. I mean, look for me in a flashy outfit that reveals my hidden name, plus nobles and knights! He shouted my name out loud from the Adventurer Guild lobby.

You don't have to ask how prominent it is, do you?

"Ugh..."

"If there's anything I can tell you, why don't you ask me?

I don't think so. The knight there tried to pull out the sword, but he didn't stop. But it's not my fault. That's the answer.

"You bastard!

I moved to the front of Lisa, who tried to pull out the fine sword, and held her head down with my palm. Naturally, the sword can't come out of her sheath and her hands are shaking with pull.

"Huh?!

Lisa immediately jumps back, distance herself from me, and pulls out her sword.

"What?!

"Is this what you're looking for?

Karan!

Throw her sword in front of Lisa.

"Huh?!

"What's wrong? You have an interesting face.

I don't know what happened.

"You..."

"Stop it! Lisa!"

"P, Mr. Pritthue...?

"In addition to my own rudeness, her rudeness was caused by my immorality. If I am punished, I will be punished, so will you forgive me?

Prithue lowers his head.

"Mr. Pritthue?! For someone like this."

Lisa!

"Ugh...."

From the very beginning, Prithu was a nobleman who bowed his head to the civilian population without hesitation. The act has only the power to suppress my anger.

"I've done too much. Let's calm down once.

"Thank you very much.

"Prithue came to thank you. I did receive the offer.

I didn't give it to you in anticipation of anything else, and I'm sure the Commercial Guild will sell you some scratch medicine soon. I don't care.

The remarkable move we made this time is over. Don't worry, the noise will subside a little bit.

"Thank you very much.

"Is this good?

………

Prithue still has the face to say something.

"Is there anything else?

"... I know it's a lot, but I need your help.

"I refuse."

This...

Gong!

Pyaaa!

"Shut up, Lisa. It's time to be quiet or I'll hit you seriously.

They didn't mean it with that dull sound.

"Hmm...."

"... Sinya. Wouldn't it be nice if I just listened to you?

"Ah! Hey! Etha, give me a name!

"Dear Sinya...?

"It's okay, it's okay! Prithue is not a bad boy!

"Maybe... the Holy Knights...?

"That's very quick to hear. An idiot who sold a fight to the Holy Knights. That's this shinya.

The thumb is pointing at Etha.

"There's no need for idiots.

"I hear you're serious with the Knights of the Holy Order. That's why I didn't want to stand out.

"... I see... then, will you still listen to my request?!

"What do you mean?

"Recently, there have been many cases of residents disappearing in villages near Delsmark.

We were touring some villages to investigate, but the monsters attacked us along the way... "

"Lisa came back because she was injured. Does that mean..."

"Yes."

"... hah... Etha ate me up..."

"Kuhahaha!

You crazy master bitch.

"What? That? What are you talking about?

"I just accepted the investigation request.

"Really?!

Apparently, he didn't know Prithue either. Let me say it again. You crazy master bitch.

"Instead of receiving information from the Prithues who investigated the village earlier, it's Etha's story that we should move together as guards..."

"Kuhahaha! You're not going to do anything else for nothing, are you?!

"What happens if I drop off a request?

"I'll tell everyone about it! Kuhahahaha!

"A wild animal..."

"Don't say that! Actually, it shouldn't be that bad. And, judging from what I just said, I think I saw a connection with the Knights.

……

Etha smiles.

Master Kaidoo...

"Shit! I don't like it! I don't like it... but... okay! I'll take it!"

"Kuhahaha! Sinya's a good guy!

"Kh... solution..."

"Besides, was the Holy Knights still involved?

"I can't say for sure, but I think it's probably involved.

Something like this fell on the village we investigated.

What Prithue showed me was a thin, dirty white cloth cut.

"What is this?

"I think it's a piece of faithful clothing worn by the Knights of the Holy Order. I think it is almost certain because I use special fabrics.

It was a rubble underlay.

It is cheap to think that this alone is the work of the Holy Knights, but I wonder if it is enough possibilities.

"... there are still a lot of things I don't know, but do we have to hurry as soon as the villagers are gone... Is there a village where the disappearance took place that hasn't gone yet?

"Yes, there is only one. It is a village called Side Village west of Delsmark.

"Okay. I can't go... right away.

"We can leave anytime, right?

"... hah... Etha. You lied to me, so I asked you to do this.

"Well, let me ask you this! Lisa! Bring the others outside! Prithue, come here!

"Hmm?! What is it?!

Prithue is grabbed by the neck and taken to Etha.

"I'll be waiting outside the West Gate.

Twenty minutes to sneak out of sight of the Alliance and wait outside the West Gate.

Rattling...

Prithues in plain clothes appear in plain carriages.

"You're finally here.

"Kh... this is how I dress up to Mr. Prithu..."

"Lisa, I'm fine. It's more fun than that!

Prithue wearing civilian clothes.

"I can't hide my behavior... much better than before.

There is no need to advertise that the Prithues have come all the way here to investigate. I mean, if you do that, you'll be extra vigilant. It's the camouflage I need.

In the carriage, with the exception of Prithue and Lisa, there are two on the carrier, and one on the lord. I wonder if all women are taken into consideration.

"We're on!

Ride on the carriage and shout out the carriage.

"How long till we get there?

About two hours?

"Then let me hear all about it by then.

Yes!

Prithue sits back against me.

"First of all, why did Prithue embark on this investigation?

"Why don't you follow me? Dear!"

"What are you talking about now?

"That's right, Lisa. Doesn't matter what the title is?

"Gyumu... if that's what Prithu-sama says..."

So?

"It's a simple story. There are districts for us nobles to govern. I embarked on an investigation because of an incident in a district that I should rule.

"What damage has been done to districts other than the one controlled by Prithue?

"So far, there is no such thing.

"Are you aiming for Prithu...?

"I don't know… Everything was damaged within two hours of Delsmark. It can also be taken because of the distance involved.

"If you're looking for Prithu, I'll rust my sword!

Lisa ignored it for a while. Ignore.

"Within two hours, is there another village?

"Yes, two. It is the village of Lyakchi in northern Delsmark and the village of Chopoka in the south. Both are small villages.

"Do you know when they're going to target you next?

"I don't know. Everything is random except within two hours. After all, we already have some escorts in those two villages.

Then I asked a few questions, but there was no information that seemed to be particularly informative. While doing so, I arrived at the desired village of Side.

According to information, no one is visible in a village lined with wooden buildings, leaving only controversial traces, such as chips of ceramics, broken doors, and a large amount of blood on the ground after burning.

"One of them is on perimeter alert! The others will investigate the village!

Under Lisa's command, the knights begin to investigate the village.

Naturally, I'll join the investigation. I looked all the way through the village, but there were no clues like white cloth cuts.

………

"No clue?

"... no. That's not true.

I rub the soot on my fingers and return it to Lisa.

"Did you find anything?

"The roughness of this village. Don't you think that's weird?

"What's so weird?

Lisa was looking around, but she didn't notice anything in particular.

"... if I'm right, I need to look into it a little bit.

Turn your attention to the only uncharacterized window in your stats that lists the magical names you've learned.

"... Lisa. How many inhabitants of the village have been attacked?

"I see... about 200 people.

"Two hundred people... maybe it won't be good if we don't hit them sooner..."

"What? What does that have to do with anything?

"... I'll be back once.

"Ah! Oooh! Ignore me!

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Back then... in a dim room.

Guchuguchu...

"Uhh... ah..."

"... fuhihi. It's fun."

A moaning voice that echoes in the thin light, and an unpleasant sound that doesn't know whether it's a man or a woman.

"Death Knight...?!

"What? I'm busy right now.

"Well... there are people sniffing around about us..."

………

"Huh?!

A shadow called the Knight of Death slowly turns around and looks at a man wearing a faithful dress with gold embroidery, a strange eye with open pupils.

"Did you stop my hand for that?

"Wow, I...."

"After all... as it is, I don't have enough faith.

Hih...

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll guide you properly.

"Hyeeeee!!

Gushh!

"Fuhihi... this is so fun... now that my faith is again... fuhihi..."

Boo!

A pale light illuminates the dimly lit room.

"Ahhh... ohh..."

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

The day after the village survey was conducted with Prithue and the others. I decided to go to the Adventurers Guild and have a discussion with Etha. Prithue and Lisa were also present.

"Etha, I'm sorry I'm late.

"I don't mind. He said he had something to look into. I'm fine so I can wait half a day.

So... what do you know?

"First of all, in conclusion, this incident. It is likely to be more important than expected.

"... may I ask why you came to that conclusion?

"We went to Side Village yesterday and conducted an investigation.

As reported, only traces of the struggle remained, and no one was found, but there was one point of concern.

"What bothers you?

"There was a scorch in the trail of the struggle.

"What's so strange about that? There will be many thoughts about using fire magic or the resistance of villagers throwing fire.

"No, that doesn't explain it.

Almost everything in the village was wooden, but there was no sign of a fire.

"In fact, we saw it. There was a lot after burning, but there was no sign of burning even though it was not erased.

"... I'm sure it's suspicious, but is that a hint?

"I know magic that scorches things but doesn't burn.

Draw a magical formation with your fingertips.

A bluish flame bursts out of the magic formation.

"Fire magic...? No... what is that magic?

"The flame of resentment. That's the magic name. I tried it several times and found that the exact same burn marks remained where it was shot.

"It's magic I've never heard of...?

"I guess. It's not fire, it's dark magic.

"Dark magic?!

Etha rounds the eyes of those who don't have an eye patch.

"Ah, I'm not a demon.

"I don't think so!... but where the hell did you get that magic?

"The place I got is a hidden dungeon in a dark green forest.

"A hidden dungeon?

"It's a dungeon that doesn't open until you have something… Maybe you'll get this magic with a dungeon clear reward….

This is only speculation, but if the Rare item is the Rare Reward of the Underground Labyrinth of Grievance, and you eject the Magic Book of Grievance's Flames... it's not an inconceivable story.

This magic was used by the Dungeon Boss. Relevant.

"If I'm right, I know why the Knights of the Holy Order who came to Popol five years ago disappeared without reaching out to the city.

"Did you dive into a hidden dungeon...?

The jewel of vengeance, the key to entry, should be used by an overwhelmingly small number of people relative to the number of people who have acquired it.

Unusable item. Anyone who has done RPG should know what to do with it.

Sell. Money would be easier to use.

If the Knights of the Holy Order had acquired the mass-sold jewel of vengeance and realized in some way that it was the key...

"It's not impossible, is it?

"Sure, I can think of a connection between that and the disappearance of the inhabitants.

"I didn't know that either, so I've been looking into it for half a day. Let Prithue and Lisa help you.

"I can't believe I let you do that... a knight act!

"What did you do?

"Normally, do you think 200 people will arrive without rebellion or escape?

"It's hard to think about. That's why you said it was a strange case.

"At first, I thought about taking hostages... but that's not going to be easy.

But... what if it's all dead?

"No, of course I thought about it. He's already been killed, and he might have taken the body out for something... It's a small village. With a certain number, we can kill without letting anyone escape.

But if we take out that many bodies, we'll need a lot of transport. If there were so many carriages running, someone would stop looking at the boulders.

"What if you didn't need a carriage?

You mean manpower?

"No, it's not.

The magic of this flame of resentment... can turn a body into an undead and manipulate it.

Magic field on the status screen. I look at the explanation of the flames of resentment in it.

[Flame of resentment... beginner dark magic. Magic that brings out a pale flame. Creates a hot flame ball and releases it. You can undead and manipulate corpses.

After the confirmation work, the notation changed. What I checked when I created the scratch medicine prompted me to realize... that it could even change the magic notation...

"What?! Such magic?!

"This half-day. We went to the ghetto. It was a terrible sight. There was a body rolling over there.

"No way... Shinya! You!"

"I asked Lisa to help me retrieve the body and see how the flames of resentment worked.

The body was undead and moved as I instructed.

Baki!

Etha's fist hits my cheek and the taste of blood spreads into my mouth.

"Sister, calm down!

"Still human!

Etha shakes her fist without hiding her anger.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let go of the Holy Knights. I don't care what anyone says.

"You bastard!

Sister!

"Get off me, Lisa! You know how I feel! You're from the same ghetto!

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Eight years ago... a favela in Delsmark.

"Is it raining again today..."

"Sister....."

"Lisa."

Citrus and falling rain. Hold her shoulders so she can bury her under the rubble. My sister's tiny body, wet and cold in the rain, is severely lean.

Delsmark. City of the Beast tribe. Near its west gate, this place is home to slaves and poor people who are in need of food.

Even if the house collapses, there is no money to fix it, and more than 30% of the buildings have already turned into rubble.

"When it stops raining, I'll steal something from you. Can you hold it till then?

"... yeah..."

Lisa smiles powerlessly as she strokes her wet, dry hair.

We don't know our parents' faces. I was here alone when I noticed.

Maybe Lisa isn't her real sister. But even in my oldest memory, I was holding Lisa's hand. She said I'd protect her.

Every day he searches for food with the intention of dying, and eats a piece of bread stolen with muddy water, shared with his sister.

My sister is weak and collapses as soon as it rains or there is no food. Recently, it rained a lot, so I didn't open the store and I couldn't get any food.

"Sister... I'm sorry..."

"What are you talking about? You are my sister. I will protect you.

"Yeah... thank you..."

I'll put my hands wet with rain on your hot forehead.

"What do you think? Doesn't it feel good?"

"Fufu... feels so good..."

Lisa laughs helplessly.

"Lie down a little.

"But... my sister..."

"I'm fine. Come on."

When I support you, Lisa lies in the rubble.

Sister...

"What?

"Don't go anywhere...?

"Of course. There's no way I'm going anywhere without Lisa.

"Fufu... I love you so much..."

"... me too. Here, get some sleep.

"Mmm...."

That's what Lisa closed her eyes to. I can hear you breathing after a while.

Lisa grips my hand and sleeps with peace of mind.

I'll hang Lisa with a worn cloth.

I understand. If you don't eat anything like this, Lisa will die for sure.

I've seen a lot of them here. Some of them were close. But they're all dead. Just as weak as Lisa.

"Lisa... you will be protected by me. So... sorry.

Grab Lisa's hand slowly so she doesn't wake her up and leaves the rubble.

It rains cold on my head and shoulders.

Run across a pile of debris to the boulevard. The rain has fewer people and fewer places to get food.

"I will protect you!
