A week has passed since we welcomed Lilith, the first princess of the Human Kingdom.
We have had many discussions with her about the future.
Thanks to her, we have been able to get some valuable opinions here and there.
However, since she is staying here for a long time, she is going to be replaced by Lilith (fake) who is in her home country soon.
Thanks to the week-long reading of Yume's memories, we were able to obtain major clues that would lead us to the culprit behind the destruction of the village - but at the same time, it also brought up a lot of questions.
Ellie, the "forbidden witch" who read Yume's memories, came to the office with a blue face to report.
She conveyed shocking information.
A level 9,000 human race has destroyed my village!
Oh, only as far as my sister-hime's memory has confirmed.
Ellie's report made me involuntarily rise from my chair in my office and lean forward in surprise.
May, who was sharing the room with me, was also making a surprised expression with her eyes unusually wide.
She explains to me why Ellie determined that it was a "level 9000 race (human)" that attacked the village.
She explains, "When Princess Younger Sister was running away with her brother, she saw a figure floating in the sky at the edge of her field of vision.
The figure was in the sky and seemed to be attacking the village.
From its silhouette, it had no wings, horns, tail, or long ears, and it was not short. The figure was not tall, nor short, and had an extremely common body shape. Based on this, they determined that it was a human, not a beast, dragon, elf, dwarf, or demon race.
As for the level, it is difficult to explain, but I guessed their level through the eyes of my ...... sister princess."
According to Ellie, it is naturally difficult to gauge an opponent's competence through memory. It's like trying to identify the type of fish underwater without a lens.
You can't tell the details of the fish, but you can at least tell the size and color of the fish.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your computer is to use a computer that has been designed to work with your computer. But it's only a guess, and there's a good chance I'm wrong.
"............"
If Ellie, the "forbidden witch," was able to discern it from the residue of leaking magic, there is not that much chance that she is off.
I sit back in my chair in my office and ponder.
After a while, I open my mouth.
If Ellie's guess is correct, it raises a number of questions. ......
How did the race (human) get to the 9000 level?
How did a race (human) destroy a village of the same race (human)?
If you are a racial (human), you must know about racial (human) discrimination on earth, so why are you against the racial (human)?
If the 9000 level is correct, isn't he or she a "master"?
If he was a "master," why did he attack my village?
If the 9000 level is correct, why were Niichan and Yume able to escape?
Isn't it possible that another species attacked the village under the guise of being a race (human) and a "master"?
--I can't help but talk to myself.
I can say, "How does a 'race (human) get to the 9000s level~' is almost impossible on the ground, even for me, right?" And as for "Master," if the attacker was "Master," why did he destroy the village? Did they have to destroy the village of their origin for me, a potential "master" candidate? Does that mean 'Master' will be an enemy for us too ......?"
Moreover, if the 9000 level is correct, I don't understand the reason about how Niichan and Yume were able to escape.
If I were to try to destroy my home village, I could certainly annihilate it.
I was confident that there would be no survivors.
Despite this, Niichan and Yume escaped and survived.
Even though I had only seen them with a forbidden spell to search their memories, it was hard to believe that Ellie would be so far off the level of the magic power leaking out of her opponents.
For example, even if he was level 5000, it would not be difficult for him to kill all the villagers without missing a single one.
Or perhaps the villagers who attacked the village missed the two on purpose?
If so, why did he miss them? I don't know why.
......" We have an important clue to find out who destroyed the village, but we also have a lot of questions. Frankly, it's all a bit tangled up and my head hurts."
I'm sorry about that, too. ......
I'm sorry. I'm not blaming Ellie. I didn't mean it the way I said it.
I hurriedly called out to Ellie, who looked pale and bowed her head in heartfelt apology.
I did not intend to blame Ellie in the slightest.
Although I was pleased with the information, I never blamed her.
At any rate, thanks to Ellie, I was able to obtain clues as to who had destroyed my parents and my hometown. I will definitely avenge my parents and the villagers, as well as the former members of the "Gathering of Tribes. Absolutely. ......
I let my boiling desire to kill, anger, and vengeance overflow into the office without hesitation.
Since only May and Ellie, who are level 9999, are present, I am able to express my emotions. They are the only ones who can be exposed to my anger and break out in a cold sweat.
If there were ordinary people in the room, my heart would have stopped and I would have died.
Breaking the tense atmosphere, May makes a suggestion.
If so, how about the next target, Light-sama, how about the 'Dwarf species'?"
............"
I turn my gaze only to May and ask her.
She explains with her usual blank expression.
The information Ellie brought to us this time made it necessary for us to get more information about "Master". In addition, when I read the memories of Queen Lief VII, the Queen of the Elven Kingdom, it was suggested that there might be other beings besides Masta who are considered dangerous. Perhaps it is that existence that destroyed Master Light's homeland."
(Surely that's a possibility, or ......)
I nodded to May's point.
When Ellie read Leaf VII's memories, the leaders of each country were secretly exchanging information about "Master" at the meeting of the five races held once every four years in the Principality of Six. .
At the meeting, Lief VII said, "We can't dismiss the possibility that there is more than just the Master. I heard LEAF VII muttering, "We can't rule out the possibility that it's not the Master, so we have to kill him.
She continued her story.
She continued, "The species that have information about this existence are one of the three: dwarves, demons, or dragonutes. Or more than one of the three may have information. ...... and from the information I obtained during my meeting with Princess Lilith of the Human race, I have learned that the characteristics of the Dwarf species make it likely that they can be incorporated into our camp without a struggle as long as they are fed."
A trait that the dwarf species possesses ...... its insatiable appetite for knowledge.
They may be trying to take advantage of it.
The most important thing to remember is that the Dwarves have a great deal of knowledge about the world, and they are very eager to learn more about the world.
Hopefully, we may be able to get information easily without fighting with the Dwarf Kingdom.
Furthermore, if I can control the Dwarf Kingdom from behind the scenes or get them on my side, I can do whatever I want with Nano, the Dwarf species who betrayed me.
...... An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a traitor for a traitor, huh? Interesting. It might be fun to get the Dwarf Kingdom to betray Nanno.
I wonder how Nanno, a former "Horde Gathering," will look when he is betrayed and cut off by the nation to which he belongs.
I listened to May's suggestion and smiled with genuine amusement.
