After my meeting with Lilith, the First Princess of the Human Kingdom, I return to the "abyss.
The inspection team of the Kingdom of Humans has already returned after their inspection.
When they return, not the real Princess Lilith, but an imposter created by "UR, the Second Shadow (Double Shadow)" has returned.
The real Princess Lilith will continue to stay in the "Tower" and will have many discussions about the future.
Leaning back in my chair in the office, I let out a few words to Mei and Ellie.
I was a little surprised by Princess Lilith's request, but we are going to collide with other countries someday in order to learn the truth about some of our goals. In the process, we can help her a little by the way. Above all, I have had my own feelings about the treatment of humans. ......
Since he had experienced discrimination during the "Gathering of Tribes" period, he knew that the status of humans was not so good even from a common sense point of view.
However, I did not know that even the king of my country could not decide.
They are treated too badly.
It would not hurt to do a little bit to help improve the status of race (human) and reduce discrimination.
The problem is what Yume told me about his past. ......
Yesterday, I was finally reunited with my sister Yume.
I have already created an imposter of her with "UR, Double Shadow" and replaced her with the real one.
After that, he safely protected the real Yume to "The Abyss".
In her room, which she created for Yume, she told him about the destruction of the village.
It was about half a year after I left the village that the village was attacked.
According to Yume, it was about half a year after I left the village.
In the middle of the night, there was a loud explosion, which woke up all of us, including my father. When I went outside, I heard the sound of repeated explosions, and people were screaming all over the ...... place.
Yume's expression intensified as she recalled her painful past.
Els-nii hugged Yume for a long time until the explosions stopped. When it stopped, she ran away with me in her arms. But on the way, it was too dark to see, and I fell into the river--and when I came to, the princess saved me.
The river is one of the tributaries nearby, just outside the village.
It is fed by melted water from the snow-covered mountains, merges with the main stream, and flows directly to the sea.
The river passes near the Human Kingdom and the Principality of Six on its way, so did the oldest brother, Els niichan, and Yume survive as a result of being swept away?
But according to the story, Princess Lilith is 'helping Yume inside the capital. Furthermore, where did Els niichan, who would have been swept away with her, go?
And what about the mysterious explosions in the village?
Did someone, several people, or an army, etc. attack the village?
The mystery deepened, but we could not get any more directly from Yume.
She is 10 years old this year.
The incident happened about two and a half years ago.
As expected, it was so long ago that she does not remember any details, and she has probably actively forgotten some things due to painful memories.
For my part, I am just thankful that Yume is safe.
If she is safe, there is a good chance that our oldest brother, Els-ni-chan, is also alive.
In the meantime, in order to get more information, we are going to read Yume's memories tonight using Ellie's forbidden technique.
The forbidden art of reading her memories has helped me in many ways - I only have images of Kite, the "White Knights," the Elf Queen, and others who are in agony from the intense pain.
I raise myself from my seat in the office and tell Ellie, leaning forward.
I'm going to ask you to read Yume's memories tonight in order to get information about the attack on my hometown village and Els-ni-chan. ...... I'll ask you to make sure my sister doesn't suffer as much as possible, okay?"
Of course! I would never do anything to cause pain to Yume-sama, the Light God's sister princess. Light God, please don't worry.
Ellie assures me emphatically, but I can't shake my uneasiness.
She understands my feelings and softly explains to me about the forbidden art of memory reading.
The art of memory reading is like reading a book that contains your memories," she said.
In the case of Kite, "White Knights," and Queen Elf, the "book" was handled roughly in a way that was meant to hurt.
In order to save time, the pages were flipped, folded, shredded, and collected in one place, and pain was intentionally inflicted to stimulate the reader to obtain the desired information.
This time, however, they turn the pages carefully one by one, as if they were handling an old book that can be torn just by touching it, and even if there is information they want, they take their time so as not to irritate the person in question.
I promise you," he said, "that we will also use the Light God's (Shin-sama's) grace (gift) "Infinite Gacha" card in combination, and that my sister Princess will sleep deeply and not feel any pain at all! ...... just to be polite, it will likely take quite a bit of time to gather the information. ...... is that OK with you?"
Of course, I don't mind. I don't care how long it takes, I just want Yume to feel no pain or suffering. You can use the "Infinite Gacha" card, the "Abyss" and the "Giant Tower" personnel without any restrictions. Ellie, I'm counting on you, okay?"
Nnnn--!" Thank you, Lord Light! I will certainly do my best to meet your expectations!
Ellie was happy to hear me say "I'm counting on you," and she responded cheerfully, her body shaking with joy.
She was in a good mood, as if she were about to skip, and headed for Yume's room.
Ellie says it will take some time, but she will be able to read the memories painlessly.
I trusted her and watched Ellie's back.
Then, a week had passed since we welcomed Lilith, the first princess of the racial (human) kingdom.
Ellie, the "forbidden witch" who had read Yume's memories, appeared in her office with a blue face and gave a report.
She conveyed shocking information.
A level 9,000 human race has destroyed my village!
