The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

"I knew it was a heart. You've been dead for three hours."

Enrique flipped the body of the guard's young man, and said.

I'm not sure because of the blackness of the blood, but I see a hole in the back of the clothes.

"This way..."

and then begin to discern the body of the lady.

"The cause of death is the neck."

Subsequently, I bent the neck of the lady.

"From the front, he seemed pokey with his head and jaw"

It's bent in a weird direction, so I know the cervical fracture is the cause of death, but Enrique seems to be able to analyze it from the way he broke his neck to the way he broke it. I don't get it.

"The killer is a man. That's not a chick either, is it? Because neck breaks from the front require strength and height differences, we can't put them in our choices unless they're children"

"Right."

"This woman over here is a little warmer. Of course, he was killed a little later than a man."

The kind of people who kill people easily have Mr. Lily's personality.

When I wondered what kind of terrible eyes I was now in, my heart was in a hurry.

"Whole thing, where the hell did you make fun of them? We need to find Mr. Lily quickly."

"... right"

"Is Tileto still not coming? Where are you now?"

Even though Wang Sword's mobility and investigative skills are what he needs most right now.

"Yuri, please calm down. If you don't calm down here, you can't help Mr. Lily."

Myalo scorned me.

"Mr. Tileto is just on his way here right now with all his might. Even in a hurry, it doesn't mean she can come sooner."

"I know."

... Myalo is right.

Be cool.

Whether in a hurry, angry, or not, it's not something that can be hit by a kidnapper who doesn't know where he is.

First, it doesn't start without at least figuring out who the kidnappers are.

I tell my head, I try to tour my thoughts, but it didn't work.

Anger and agony get in the way, and even if I braid my thoughts, they fall apart from the edges.

I get frustrated with that.

- Damn it.

"Wait."

That's what Enrique said, he came before me.

When I suddenly thought I had one hand on my cheek, a different hand flew in.

Bachin! and the intense binta is teased.

"- Whoa, whoa, whoa."

I grabbed my chest pulp reflexively, and it seems like it's going to be dramatically high, but when I look at my face, it looks mean.

It feels very welcome.

When I could lose my temper to hit him, the rush was overwritten and strangely chilled.

What are you doing? I...

"Ugh... thanks. Calmed down."

Enrique's chest was let loose rampantly.

"Boring."

Ignore it. Ignore it.

"Okay - for one thing, is that about the information? There was one skilled assassin, a big man, who left three hours ago."

"... right. What about Mr. Enrique?

"I don't know if that's what you see here."

Me too, I was searching for a home until backup arrived, but I didn't have a single other clue.

I have no choice. Let's start here.

"I don't have too many clues... but let's think in an orderly fashion about how we can help Mr. Lily. First of all, what information do you need to help?

"I don't have a body or a lid, but if you know where Mr. Lily is, you can go help him, right? And then, if we can analyze the killer's identity and purpose, it's going to be a clue."

I don't know where he is, but if I know the identity of the killer, it's likely to lead to some kind of identification of where he's lurking.

"Then let's start with the killer's identity. Is that an individual or an organization?

"Lily was a beauty with a big chest, and she was a scholar, wasn't she? Aren't you suspicious of your colleagues or something?

Enrique said.

A colleague?

"If you're getting a lot of pay, hire a good man. Scholar-type men save money, and when they fall in love, there are many types that make them persevere."

Old man stalker.

Existence itself is well thought out, but I feel impossible.

If you want to satisfy your desire to keep Mr. Lily locked up at home by persuading her to fall in love, you should want to keep the investigation continuously difficult to navigate. To do this, you would want to take the form of disappearance.

Pinching murder in the process is superfluous. If the murder is exposed, it becomes a case.

Even though he was a person who didn't hate murder, it would be more convenient to hide them a little better about the two bodies.

Because you have a way of killing that doesn't bleed, you should dig the dirt and bury it. The guard was killed outside, and the lady could have broken her neck and killed her, so then she could have completely cleaned the house.

If that were the case, I wouldn't have even smelled blood, so I would have been considerably late in finding the body, too.

If Mr. Lily doesn't show up for work, people will come and get me wondering if something happened. In the hidden way of keeping it in storage, it's likely that the offense would have been exposed the next morning even if I hadn't come.

The killer, though highly skilled, was somehow cluttered about handling the body.

"I think it's unlimited probability. If we were to help abbreviate someone as important as Mr. Lily, whether it's an organization or an individual, we would thoroughly hunt them down and crush them. Given the aftermath, whatever amateur you don't know anything about, that's the job that Xuan wouldn't take on. Depends on the amount, but at least not for an amount that you can cover personally"

Myalo made a denial from another vector.

I guess it's true.

Unless you're a big shareholder like Mr. Lily, employees who just work don't have a gigantic fortune.

"So Mr. Lily's property is the robbery you're looking for?

Mr. Lily is a big rich man, so that's usually possible.

According to Enrique, it means a professional offense, but given Mr. Lilly's assets, it's not surprising that a sizable group of armed robbers are after him.

"If it were, I'd think the house would be rougher. If you can cover up so much after the vandalism, you can move to a housekeeper right away."

Enrique said. Sure, that would be it. The appearance of the house does not show that the rioters have broken in.

"Didn't you have to look for a home because Lily told you where the property was?

"'Cause that sounds like about as likely a sign of interrogation as it sounds... hmm"

Hard.

"Who's Lily, a Howe shareholder? That's why you're so rich. Was that stock here?

Enrique said.

That's the problem.

The Stock Corporation system is convenient in many ways in smooth start-ups and investments, so I started preparing as soon as I became regent, promulgating and enacting laws year after month. But it's too novel a mechanism, so I'm not yet familiar with the people.

In the first place, shares and share certificates are different in nature from currencies, and the company issuing them has the owner recorded and is linked to the individual.

Share certificates are a kind of certificate, and the loss of ownership, like currency, does not extinguish ownership.

Just because you stole some kind of certificate of qualification doesn't mean the thief can qualify, doesn't mean you can be the holder of shares because you stole stock certificates.

But robbers don't necessarily understand what's going on around there.

"Mr. Lily's share certificates are in the executive vault of Howe's Critical Goods Storage Office. You're only supposed to be in there with the board, and I don't think you made it to headquarters business hours in time. I'll lock the whole storage room tightly at night, so I don't need you to open it as much as an officer."

"So did you take him tomorrow to make him open that safe? Otherwise, there's no reason to take it, is there? If you're satisfied with the handheld property in this house, you'll be freed here, and if you don't like being witnessed, you'll be murdered with these two."

I was so freaked out by the way you said you couldn't put clothes on your teeth, but I guess you're right.

There's always a reason you didn't kill Lily and kidnapped her. Assuming it was a crime of theft, I can only think of as much as I took him for stock certificate purposes.

"... I can't throw away the line of robbery for the money, but don't feel compelled to mess with it"

Again, it's weird that the house is so tidy.

Besides, it's a little hard to think about how many people, or individuals, who do such great things, have committed crimes without doing much research on stock certificates.

The fact that you brought it back to offend Mr. Lily, not to mention inconceivable, would be a thin line.

I find it highly paradoxical that people loyal to their desire to do that did such a polite job of properly preserving the indoors.

"Honestly, I think so, too. But let's send soldiers to the company for once. If Lily shows up, we can easily protect her."

"Right. Please."

When Myalo placed the lamp he had at his nearby desk, he took the notebook out of his inner pocket, made a sagging note and then tore it.

"You were listening. Put them here as liaison personnel, then go to Howe and help them."

Copy that, sir.

A man of the knight's leadership brought by Myalo received a salute and assignment.

"Can we just let them all go?

"It's okay. We're supposed to be backing up soon."

That's good.

If the people who kidnapped Mr. Lily were that assholes, they were the ones Myalo left to. They will be captured for sure.

But reality doesn't go that conveniently.

Eighty-nine out of ten would be different.

"As the line is thin for individuals and thieves... suppose it's the offense of the people who were an organization, the possible forces are witches, crushed generals, clan states...?

The idea of the Rube family, too, came to mind for a moment, but just wouldn't have it.

Whatever it is, it's not too beneficial.

"Right...... is it the crime of a witch who resents us or the remnants of the generals?

"If that's the case, isn't it a little strange to go after Mr. Lily? Lily..."

Erm......

"My acquaintances, my friends, I'm in about my best friend's position even when I talk about it. If you look at them, you want to target your parents, your brothers, your children."

I feel that's a natural idea.

"I am a lifelong loner, and Yuri will only have relatives as close as Mr. Satsuki and Sham, and then His Majesty Shrika. Needless to say, His Majesty Shrika is most heavily guarded, and the other two are not as defenseless as Mr. Lily, as the Howe family is. Didn't you have those reasons?

"No, retaliation and vengeance are important elements of return of interest."

Over here for a week now, I kept a secret of what was supposed to happen today, and Mr. Lily kept a secret. As much as Sham didn't know, he definitely wouldn't have told anyone.

Neither the witch nor the general should have known that it was becoming a special relationship.

Besides, it's normal to think about it as one of your mistresses, even if you knew. After all, it's strange to go after Mr. Lily.

"No one thinks about compromising with friends because their daughter is difficult to kidnap because she wants to give them a taste of hell. I can't think of a line where resentment would have targeted Mr. Lily."

When I put it in my mouth again, I became more convinced that it was impossible. There is no such line.

"So... the rest of the possibilities are the crimes of the Klu nation. Pope territory, the Galilean Union?

"Have you broken into Shibyak with a handful of elites? It's going to be a pretty difficult operation, and Mr. Lily's not going to pin it on you. If they were, they'd be after me or Dr. Etha."

"Yuri-kun is pretty strong yourself, so it's hard to assassinate yourself, isn't it? I'm going out on my own, but when I can predict directions, I seem to be wearing escorts."

Exactly when I go to sleep, I sleep in a safe place, and if I go to a place where I've been scheduled for an inspection for a month, I put on an escort. They may also reroute on the same day.

The only time you do it on your own is when you act on your mind that day or if you only know where you're going and you can never prepare for a raid. Even then, I'm very careful with the tail.

"Also, Dr. Etha is a person in an extremely important role in the long run, but he's not the kind of person to dictate the victory or defeat of war right now, is he? Aren't you lowering your priorities?

"... well, you're wearing a good escort, and you're serious"

Dr. Etha is not even the type of person who moves actively west and east, so it's easy to escort him. I tend to cage indoors from scratch, and assassination will be difficult.

Besides, where I assassinated Dr. Etha, the eagle scriptures will not disappear, nor will I be able to print them. It would be a bitter decision for the papal realm, but it is sufficiently conceivable that we are tentatively lowering our priorities.

"But... are you Lily... she's definitely an important person, but the basic idea is Yuri gave out and Lily's role in making it happen... so right? I'm oblivious to the technical field, but it's like I'm definitely not the one who can't change it...?

"... hmm"

Lily is certainly not a genius (Gifted) given a brilliant talent by heaven like Sham.

But he has a rare talent that is extremely practical, in a different vector than Sham.

Besides, thanks to her years with Sham at the birch dorm, Lily grew up as a rare person who could understand the content of the science I speak of.

Such figures may increase in school education from now on, but there is none else at the moment.

I mean, Myalo's understanding is wrong. In fact, not only is Mr. Lily special to me, but she's also irreplaceable as a worker.

Nevertheless, what I'm saying makes sense, and I feel somewhat too eye-catching to target a generation of missions whether it's papal territory or not.

Normally, don't be honest with me or Myalo.

Whatever it is, you're at the heart of the state's function, and if you kill it, you can strike the state with a single shot and feed it the kind of blow that cracks it.

Combined with the damage done to the country as a result of testing the difficulty of assassinations and abbreviations, the subject of maximum expectations happened to be Mr. Lilly. Is that a story like that?

It is likely enough that such a conclusion would be drawn...... just too competent.

In the opposite position, even if Me and Myalo work so hard, it's hard to analyze the internal situation of the enemy country so accurately.

If I let an organization like Think Tank, which has considerable intelligence gathering capability, plan an operation like that, it may also give birth to such an operation, but it's nonsense for whatever it takes.

"But you probably just wanted the technology on this side, didn't you? That alone is not a significant achievement… it also explains why I abbreviated it without killing it. Lily knows everything about this side of the weapon from flare shells."

That certainly is.

But if you wanted technology, you could have targeted the rest of the tech department.

Those employees don't have a guarded mansion, and there's no way they're going to come to work to see if it's cheap or not right away.

Besides, the Shans know enough about their bad reviews to think it's too convenient to take them home safely and use them...

That's what Jacoba Tuni Chartre, who was the queen of Kirchina, was, but the case of pessimistic suicide on the way should actually be quite numerous.

If he dies before he draws out his knowledge, the operation itself would be a whole loss.

When that happens, in their subjectivity, there will be no more effect than the phenomenon that there is no longer one highly skilled technician from the Kingdom of Siyalta.

They know it's going to be hard for us to take action after this case and use the same tricks.

As the target of an operation that could be the first and last, it is, after all, inappropriate.

I don't know exactly what they value, but it's more natural to try to assassinate Myalo like one or eight or me...

... Even if I think about it for a moment, I don't see any motive on the part of Issue for targeting Mr. Lily as an enemy country offense. Though the motive comes to mind precisely, I don't see why you deliberately prioritized Mr. Lily from the list of high-value goals in order from me.

After all, is the offense of an enemy country thin...?

Hmmm... Mr. Lily has been a member of Howe since my early days, and you thought it would help with your analysis of me...?

Ah.

"... maybe you don't think Mr. Lily did it all?

It seems possible.

"Techniques. From the beginning, everything from invention to what"

"? Not Yuri?

"That's right. I'm assuming that Lily is a genius responsible for all of Howe's inventions, from where she generates ideas to practical applications... What do you say?

"... uh, that... could be possible. I don't normally believe Yuri is doing all the state affairs, all the war, all the invention."

What Mr. Lily made me started with asking for paper digits, and there are a variety of things, including a hexameter, a chronometer, a mechanical part of a lithographic print, a battle carriage or incendiary bullet, and so on.

But that doesn't mean Lily's involved in all of Howe's work.

A woman who was a liquor lover glassmaker was in charge of all the manufacturing of standard glass bottles, and Lily was not involved at all in the shipbuilding department from the start.

I also asked for the mechanical part of printing the lithograph to be worn and pressed onto the paper, but I asked the sham to develop the typeface alloy at the heart, and the manufacture of the typeface is also partitioned by another caster thanksgiving man.

However, it is true that Mr. Lilly undertakes many troublesome tasks as the core of the technical department.

If the enemy thinks someone other than me did it, there is only one person with that talent who will be working with us from the time of Howe's launch.

It's Mr. Lily. Sham has never been an employee of Howe.

If you think of all of this technology as a useful actor who commanded everything from idea to manufacture, you will think that the damage this one will take will be immeasurable by being gone.

Anyway, if we can stop a new recruit weapon that is tormenting us scatterly, at least in the future, and if everything goes well and we can bring them back, there's even a possibility that we can use that talent.

Then it's worth targeting enough.

"Chip, you're in."

Accelerated thinking gained momentum and accidentally struck me in the tongue.

"... uh, shit. It's a pain in the ass to death."

"Yuri? What's the matter, sir?

Myalo asks me worried.

"Enrique. Is Tileto here yet?

As I say, Enrique, who kept his back on the wall outside the mosquito net for a little while, took his pocket watch out of his pocket and looked at the time.

We should be there in three minutes.

Feelings are in a hurry, but should I wait for that?

"Yuri, can you explain it to me because it's easy?

"If that's what they were after, killing Mr. Lily here would have accomplished the majority, wouldn't it?

"Yes."

"The fact that you didn't kill him means taking him away and using his genius, he's after two birds with one stone. But that's just an accompanying goal (optional)."

"- Oh."

Myalo seemed to have guessed.

"The minimum condition for operational success would be (minimal success), which would only mean eliminating the genius that keeps producing new weapons from this country. It is reserved in a state that can be achieved at any time. If there is any danger of Mr. Lily being recaptured at all, we should try to accomplish it as soon as possible. When you think about the situation, it's not weird to stab someone in the stomach just because they call you off."
