Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Then, I quickly caught up with Karen, who ran away.

Because in front of the exit, I was waiting with Jean.

"... sorry for the disturbance"

I noticed this one, and Karen still kept her head down with her blue face.

Red hair swayed clumped together by strings.

"It's okay. Never mind."

"Mm-hmm. I'm hungry, so I wanted to get out of the castle. Rather thankful."

"You were eating a lot of bread earlier."

I rub my reddish eyes and Karen laughs at our exchange.

It's a painful grin that I can see being strong.

"Mr. Elfi seems hungry, and we'll grab a light lunch in Imperial City, then we'll go home"

I nodded to Karen, who behaved like a jerk, and received my weapon and my luggage, and then we followed Emperor Castle.

◆

Then two hours later.

We had lunch and bought something that might help. We left the capital.

I can see the Great Castle Gate going far away.

"Elfi, it's about Olivia... have you noticed?"

"Whatever. He's a little cunning, but he's not that good."

This guy would have noticed.

"I don't like a series of events and listening to you, but I can predict. I was able to get information from that woman in conversation."

"If so, will you just grab the tail after that"

You can board him directly into his mansion, but you only need to crush one concern before you do.

As long as it's done, I can handle it.

…………

After a conversation with Elfi, turn your gaze to Karen.

Over time, it seems to have settled down somewhat.

From the outside, Karen probably just got twenty.

It will still be hard, but I have kept calm since then.

Even though he was called to Imperial Capital on behalf of the Lord, and said he had just been covered for the important role he had been given until then.

You noticed your gaze, Karen opened her mouth as she leaned down.

"You just asked me to, but you've shown me all the ugly places..."

"You don't have to worry about it. It's always ugly."

"I can't solve it, Io."

I only smile for a moment, and once again Karen casts a shadow on her expression.

And with a mocking look on his face, he tried to keep the word going.

"Olivia Eliestille, don't take the word for it truly"

"Uh...?"

Surprise strikes me in the face that leaves a shadow on the gash.

"Gash is... Mr. Gash is not irresponsible. He was a kind man who didn't like to fight, but couldn't leave people in need alone."

"... Mr. Io"

"There's no such thing as a grudge about that woman, and you don't have to worry about it."

A woman who only thinks about using people as food doesn't deserve to make fun of Gash.

"So Mr. Cullen doesn't mind, just think about the territory and wait. We'll take care of this as requested."

Round your red eyes, Karen is looking at this one.

between seconds, and she slapped both cheeks flat in the hand,

"... ok. I'll do what I can right now."

Karen, who regained her blood color, nodded forcefully.

Same as Gash, this guy is strong.

But...

"... no"

I shook my head and tried not to think ahead.

◆

Then a few hours later.

We're back in Rayford territory.

The sun is completely down, and I hear bugs beeping from the outside.

After dinner, Karen headed to her room to sort out the paperwork.

Me and Elfi also work in Gash's library reading after packing and exchanging opinions in our own rooms.

I didn't have as much information as I was looking for, but there were a lot of books about "heroic amatsu".

What has Gash been doing since I was gone?

"Isn't it dark?"

As I was reading the book, a servant brought me a magic grant magic item to light.

At that time, I visited something that bothered me.

"There's a village in Rahm around here, isn't there? What is happening now?"

It's one of the villages I took care of when I came to the Empire.

I'm not going, but I was wondering what was going on.

After the servant clouded his face...

"Nearly thirty years ago, it was destroyed by the Demons"

"-, yes... what is it"

"Everyone on the spot was murdered... and my husband was moaning"

"Then..."

Speak a few names of the villages you took care of.

Each time the servant shook his head and said it was destroyed by the demons.

"... I see"

The servant looked like that at first and walked out of the room.

Me and Elfi will be the only ones in the dusty study again.

"... are you okay, Iori?"

"I don't care. It's about when you were flushed and had a sweet ideal."

"Flushed...?"

"Oh."

I saw many villages, including the village of Rahm.

There were many people who were damaged and suffering from the war.

If I couldn't abandon those people, I admired Lucifina for fighting at the expense of herself.

"I was doing that kind of" acting "thing. I was just being put on Lucifina and screaming about saving it or peace. … it's time to go back to your room"

I'm not in the mood for pleasure, but it's not like I care more now.

Revenge is more important now, so I can't afford to be distracted.

It's time to finish the conversation and try to get up.

"- Are you sure?"

Elfi's gaze was pointing straight at us, and his body was stretched.

"... that's right. I'm the hero. What did I tell you because my people affected me?"

Live flushed, fight flushed, be flushed and have an ideal.

I just get flushed.

That's why they didn't flush it out and swore to make their own decisions.

I'll make sure I get my revenge done.

"... right"

Elfi also stood up, showing some hooking reaction.

Beat the bread and clothes, dust them off.

…………

Turn off the lights, we're out of the room.

◆

"... sorry"

In front of the room, Jean stood.

And when I looked at him, he lowered his head.

"What apology...?"

"I've been rude ever since I got help from demons in the woods,"

... That's sudden.

For those of us who are surprised, Jean said.

"Olivia Eliestille is dangerous"

She said she had been harassing Gash with something before she occupied the labyrinth.

Spread bad reviews or try to acquire servants.

"I've told you before to show up and follow yourself"

Since such an incident, Jean had been on alert to all those approaching Karen.

Because I thought Olivia might be hiring me.

Since Gash went missing, more importantly, Jean has been careful to protect Karen.

So he was very vigilant with us, too.

I thought you were selling thanks and trying to take something away from the Rayfords.

"Why did you tell us that?"

"I heard what you said to Karen in the carriage... and I thought you could trust me."

Keep your head down, Jean's begging us.

My husband and Karen are very kind people.

He wants me to save those two somehow.

I'll take care of it.

Nod, acknowledge it.

I don't need to be told.

"Thank you……!"

"So, didn't you come here for something?

Pointing it out, Jean coughed up, as I recall.

"Master Karen is calling for you both. You want to explain everything."

"Description?"

As Elfi leaned her neck, Jean had told her to do as she had decided.

- It's about the day your husband disappeared.

◆

I had received a full explanation on the day I was requested.

But I've never crossed the line for more information.

Jean led me to the room where Karen was.

It's a big room with dinner.

"I'm sorry I called you"

Upon completion of the guidance, Jean left the room.

Then Karen urged me, and I took my seat.

"More information about Mr. Gash's disappearance, right?"

"Yes."

Karen spoke again about the situation at the time.

Gash went to check on the junction and disappeared as it was.

Looks like they took a few servants at that time, but no one said they realized the gash had disappeared.

I also came up with the opinion that you have entered the labyrinth, but you cannot enter the labyrinth unless you break the line.

There were no signs anywhere of unraveling the labyrinth.

Neither are the inhabitants close to the labyrinth, where the boundaries are stretched.

No inhabitants seemed to have seen Gash and the others.

"Mr. Gash is somewhere, not a labyrinth."

"... I searched the realm for it, but couldn't find it anywhere"

Where is Gash?

How the hell did you disappear?

Is this where the mystery is?

"The servant who was there at that time, -"

Butin, and.

The lights in the room abruptly went out.

Until then, the illuminated room is abruptly covered in darkness.

"... is it out of magic?"

So groaning, at the same time as Karen takes a seat.

- Elphi.

"Oh!"

Karen, I intercepted the signs of the assault at the same time as Elfi.

When I throw a knife I've missed, I feel the response of the blade poking at the meat.

At the same time, Elfi shot the demon eye in a different direction.

――――

I heard something devouring the Devil's Eye fall to the ground as hard as I could.

This one also punches a knife in a row and seals the opponent's movement.

"What is it!?"

Then it opened for a few seconds and Jean jumped into the room.

I have a light in my hand, and that illuminates the room that was covered in darkness.

"... Hih"

Inside the room, two serpents were rolling.

It is a demon that can easily swallow each person, with a patterned speckle on the purple epidermis.

"…" Acid Snake "?

Acid Strike The serpent is a dangerous demon that spits out gastric fluid that even dissolves iron in drools.

It lives in an empire, but it doesn't exist anywhere near here.

"Oh, it was a dangerous place... How could such a demon..."

Karen is blue-faced and losing her hips.

Jean has the same look.

"... it's up to you, Iori"

"Oh."

I had predictions from the start, but now I'm clear.

- Olivia Eliestille can manipulate demons.

And one more thing.

There is someone in this mansion who leads to Olivia.
