Episode Seven: Grounds for Denial of Proof of Absence

Sola asks Wang Metropolitan Guard about the candle burning cusp and dyed cloth.

"Were these two already discovered?

"Yeah, well..."

If you look at Wang Metropolitan Guard officers who answer badly with their teeth cut, they would have also made predictions that it was a fire using a time-limited firing device using candles and dyed cloth.

Looking back at Frieda, who looks strange without following the story, Sora briefly explains.

"If you have flammable material installed below with the candle lit, when the candle is shorter, it will ignite the flammable material below and burn all around you. After installation, the killer will have time to complete the alibi before the candle is shortened."

It's just a classic M.O., and I guess the Wang Metropolitan Guard that hit the investigation soon noticed.

"You can't justify Sania's absence."

Sora pounds her tongue.

Thania and the others who entered and left Frieda's house, the source of the fire, are suspected first, more than they know who planted the time-fire device.

Sora fingers the candle burning cuss at Frieda.

"Did Frieda always have candles in the house?

"Do you know who you're talking to? I'm a wizard. There is no way to use a candle. I don't even recognize your dyed cloth."

I guess, and Sola sees the dyed cloth by the candle.

There are only two clues right now: candles and dyed cloth.

Will the rest be enough to gather testimony from the demon dwellers?

"Gorge, gather your testimony. No one goes into a demon cave. Write down their traits."

Sola speaks up to Frieda, who first began acting to clear up Sania's charges.

"There's no place to stay when the house is in this condition, is there?

Frieda, who was in trouble when she saw the wreckage of our house, looks up all the time.

"Will you stay at the Mansion?

"No, I'll introduce you to the King's Inn. I know the one who's going to get confused, the one who's going to close his mouth to the mansion and threaten him."

"Your nobility is in trouble."

You missed Sania for a long time, and Sora smiles bitterly at Frieda.

"I'll see you when the charges are cleared. Frieda needs an escort, too. Gorge, get one of us out of the flames."

Sola leaves the fire scene and heads to the carriage.

I got a piece of paper from Lew's notebook and wrote a reference to the Inn I used in the Kleinsert family's inheritance disturbance.

"If you take this, you should be able to get me into the room even at this hour. Say hello to your host grandmother."

Passing the letter of introduction, Frieda sees the wizards hanging out at the entrance to the demon cave. Due to restricted access to the demon cave, it seems that those living in the neighborhood of Frieda's house have no beds to sleep on this evening.

Realizing what Frieda was trying to say, Sora shrugged her shoulder saying she had no choice.

"If it's just for tonight, let's make their share of the inn convenient. If you don't have enough room, you'll be in the same room, but I need an explanation from Frieda."

"Oh, you're fat. That's just the Lord of Sania."

Frieda graciously slapped Sora on the shoulder and thanked her, then ran beneath the inhabitants of the cave where she was standing.

Leaving the rest to Gorge, Sola boarded the carriage. A flamethrower sitting in your podium in exchange for a gorge in command of the scene gives instructions to the horse to move forward.

Llulu sitting opposite Sola cleans up his notebook with a difficult face and looks at Sola.

"It's pretty hard to catch the real killer."

"You won't be able to catch me. This is probably the work of the Eastern aristocrats, so they shouldn't even have legs on it."

In fact, the evidence is also a slice of candle and dyed cloth that has been accidentally inked and remains burnt, and will not be the first to have legs in this world where scientific investigation has not developed.

"Like taking fingerprints from a slice of dyed cloth?

"It'll help us identify the killer, but it doesn't make much sense because we haven't narrowed down the key suspects. Before that, I don't think you're gonna give us one of the few clues to dyeing cloth."

There was no way he was going to provide investigative material to Sora, the master of Sania, who is being treated as a suspect.

"You mean good luck?

"You're lucky when it comes to arresting the killer. We just have to move in the direction of clearing Sania's innocence."

It would be quicker if we could catch the real killer, but more than we can do that, we'll have to pack it from the outside, for example by making Sania's alibi.

"Let's start by looking at how to buy dyed cloth"

If the store where the dyed cloth was purchased, it is possible that he is looking at the killer's face. Conversely, you would also get testimony if you hadn't seen Sania.

The carriage enters the aristocratic district.

Sola checked the position of the moon through the window.

Lew opens his mouth as he gazes at the streets of the aristocratic city.

"Nevertheless, I wonder what the eastern people are thinking"

"I was thinking about it now, too. It's harder to imagine a motive to light Frieda's house to the point of arrest than Sania doesn't have. In other words, I think it is the purpose of the Eastern aristocracy..."

"The circumstantial evidence is in place, so there would be a possibility of arrest, wouldn't there?

"No, it's not a situation where you can get caught just by circumstantial evidence"

Sola denies Lulu's idea.

"In the present situation where the beast's shoulder is narrowed everywhere due to the workmanship of the new Ziyuz country, how would it look in the eyes of the beast man if he arrested Sania the beast man solely on circumstantial evidence?

"... Beastman oppression, is it?

Sola affirms Lulu's answer after thinking about it.

Sania, who is an Orc and wizard and even has the title of near the Count, stands out very prominently. In Count Sola territory there are also activities such as giving speeches at the orphanage in Zira, which is quite well known.

Therefore, there are many beasts to expect from Sania, and if we were to capture Sania in the current narrow-shoulder situation, the beasts would revolt greatly.

The rebellion of the beasts in the country can only be enough, as the Eastern nobility wants a war with the new Ziyuz state.

He was a lulu how convinced he was by Sola's explanation, but opens his mouth like he thought.

"Conversely, in the eastern part of the kingdom, the grievances of the beasts may be growing enough to repress them."

"I don't know how much of a new Jiyuz country there was, but I don't think it's going to explode that much at once..."

Sora thinks as she frowns.

Disgustingly for Sola, some aristocrats blatantly discriminate against beasts.

If the Eastern nobility had pursued a policy of discrimination against the Beasts since before the work of the new Jiyuz nation, then there is also the possibility of coming here and dissatisfaction exploding.

"I don't really want to think about it, but can't you deny the possibility? I will explore the situation in the east. Lulu, hit me on the purchase route for the dyed cloth."

Llulu nodded deeply at Sora's instruction.
