Unmotivated Hero’s Tale (WN)

"Hmm, has Turmenia moved?"

A room in the presidential residence.

So Tomiel glances at the report and asks the man in front of him.

Then Cruson, the director of the second intelligence department, who bows his head deeply, uttered the name of the person not mentioned in the report.

"Yes, I have also been contacted by Cardinal Zamran to tell you directly to the President"

"Well, from Lord Zamran... by the way, is this information available to the people on the Unitarian Religious Front?

"Of course I haven't been told. The people in the council will be wary of the man."

A meeting composed exclusively of cardinals called the Upper Council.

It was famous that the facades named there were more hostile to the Cardinal, who said that he was the only one who existed outside the country.

That's why Tomiel shakes his neck wide and vertically just because he's convinced.

"I see. Then you're just like me. That man is a drama for our Clemea Church. So the perception is in agreement with the crowd."

"Yes, but behind that man lies the Archbishop. You shouldn't fail to be vigilant."

"I don't know why you want to be so paranoid... to be honest, I don't feel like it at all"

Shaking his neck to the left and right, Tomiel mouths like a shudder.

But Cruson, a devout Cremean believer, listened to what he said.

"The President…"

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's a silence, forget it. The day is approaching when sorrow will be fulfilled, and my heart seems to be floating."

Tomiel rushes to undo his own remarks, mouthing excuses in a bitter mix of laughter.

While Crewson stared at him with such cold eyes, he did not hunt him down on that topic any more.

"Well in any case, the day I kept wishing is about to come. It is the day when the reformists dare to throw themselves and their achievements appear, hiding their faith in Cremea. I know how you feel about the President."

"Mm-hmm. Speaking of the deception of free competition and the like, he took power from Feliam, who was unwilling to correct inequality, and finally came this far. Born free and equal. Now is the time to wipe out the existence of a magician who can destroy that national philosophy."

"Ruri. And if this is done, the president is going to be elected the only cardinal in the land. We, the Orthodox Cremean followers of the former Archbishop, intend to take our side so that all the president's ideas can be fulfilled."

Following Tomiel's remarks, Cruson tells him that there is a strong push for it.

Then, just saying that he had received the will, Tomiel declared herself exalted while holding his fist.

"Feliam, and Kettis. Together, they take this opportunity to eliminate those who were the Lord of the West."

"Ha, we're already getting ready... just in case, there's one thing I'd like to keep in your ear"

That's what I said, and Crewson gets a sinister look.

Though Tomiel, on the other hand, was uncomfortable with the look on the face of the chief of intelligence, he didn't even show a bare gesture of particular concern, prompting him to go ahead.

"Well, what do you want to keep in your ear? What the hell is that?

"Yes. Did the President know that rumors have been spreading in Milanir the other day that must not be overheard?

"I've never heard a rumor that I'd be particularly concerned about..."

Tomiel, who had no idea, tilts his neck gently.

Then, heading to him like that, Cruson uttered an overview of the rumors as he lurked his voice.

"The rumor is that the man in charge of King Kayla's escort, the masked man, is not the man who is currently missing."

"The man? Who the hell is that? Mr. Cruson, I wonder if you could teach me without wasting time."

"A man who is being bragged as a hero of the Redemption, etc. Yui Istarz."

As soon as the name emanates from Crewson's mouth, Tomiel opens his eyes to a startling look.

"Yu, you said it was Yui Istarz!? Silly, wasn't that man assassinated by the Empire?

"That's just one hypothesis that was dispersed from the sudden disappearance of footprints in the empire. In the first place, there is no reason for the Empire to assassinate that man who holds the source of the demonic stone Lemuriak."

Against Tomiel, Crewson shakes his head to the left and right to deny his statement as it is.

But in response to the words of the Director of the Second Intelligence Department, Tomiel, while acknowledging what was reasonable, could not honestly nod as it was.

"Um, sure it is... but if the masked man is really that hero, why are you following King Kayla or something like that?

"I guess it doesn't mean money...... Somehow his man has that Lemuriak. If so, there may be some kind of intimacy between Clarice and the Rhindle"

When Crewson said so with a harrowing look on his face, Tomiel came to the thought of the existence of one odd military training, which took place before this Western meeting began.

"Intimate? If that is true, then the meaning of that bizarre military training, which took place during the Rhindle coup, passes. I see. So you're saying it was training from the beginning to curb the House of Lords, which is in conflict with the Clarice royal family"

"Yeah, it sure fits."

Turning to Tomiel, who shut up with a crease between his eyebrows, Cruson nods and shows his understanding of the view.

"Oh. It's just that this interpretation is only a story if that masked man is really Yui Istarz. At the end of the day, do you have any proof that the rumor is true?

"So far, the conclusive evidence is still... just reports of identical rumors from multiple sources around the city. According to another piece of information I'm grasping, there's been a call from an old man in the case that a masked man came to keep the Oriental sword."

In any previous regime, the Great Sage has remained completely spared.

It was none other than Tomiel who allowed him to be interviewed under surveillance. And therefore, this information seemed to them to point to just one fact.

"... it is true that Yui Istarz's skill was the sword of the Orient."

"Yes, that's what I hear."

He has Oriental-specific dark hair and has an Oriental opposite knife at his waist.

It was too famous, a characteristic of Yui Istarz.

Tomiel therefore decides that, although he does not know how he is showing the spread, the rumors that show the spread are highly probable.

"Mr. Cruson. Are the guys in First Intelligence, or Kettys, grabbing this information?

"I don't know. But it's a rumor that's beginning to spread throughout the city. No wonder they're grabbing it. Besides, there's a good chance they're sending spies to that extremely sloppy woman."

I had a deeper understanding of how easy it was to get into Fox's place, and that's how Crewson was sending his men in than anyone else.

And in response to his remarks like that, Tomiel gives his consent with a bitter look on his face.

"I guess...... that could be extremely troublesome if Rhindle and Clarice were to consign confidentially and have that man behind them. Mr. Crewson, I need you to follow the lead on Clarice and the Rhindles as soon as possible. Especially for masked men."

"Yes, sir."

"Mm-hmm. I wish it was a rumor with no roots or leaves. But... assuming it's that guy."

That's what I said, and various rumors allegedly involving Yui Istarz filled Tomiel's brain.

And there's only one answer he derived.

"If he is to be Yui Istarz, any means may be used. Quickly... yes, quickly destroy the man."
