The lowest level of "The Abyss," the office.
As I sat in my seat in my office, I heard the report from May standing in front of me.
May asks me a question with her usual expression.
She asked me in her usual nonchalant manner, "Mr. Wright, I have a little bit of good news and a little bit of bad news to share with you.
If you're going to ......, start with the good news."
Awe.
The "slightly better report" is--
The headquarters of the Goddess cult is located in the Principality of Six.
For the safety of Mya, a saint of the "Giant Tower Church" who is enrolled at the Six Principality Magic Academy, and Priestess Quone, I had asked Aoyuki to monitor them, including the brave men of the Goddess Church, just in case.
I was worried that the heroes and the followers of the Goddess Church might go out of control and hurt Mya and the others.
Thanks to Aoyuki's help, he quickly caught wind that the heroes were going to ride into the Six Principality Academy and attack the Domas.
We immediately ran to the embassies of the Racial Kingdom, the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, the United Beastmen Kingdom, and the Majin Kingdom through a merchant who was in the area.
The embassy staff of each country hurriedly protested to the Church of the Goddess of Mercy.
As expected, the Church of the Goddess of Mercy could not ignore the protests from nations other than the Dragon People's Empire, and ran to the Six Principality Academy of Magic to stall the brave men.
From the perspective of the Church of the Goddess of Mercy, the goal of the heroes is to defeat the "Witch of the Giant Tower," who has been recognized as the Demon King. They do not want to wage an all-out war against the nations of the world.
As a result, they succeeded in stopping the heroes before they killed Domus, the professor of the school of magic, and the guards.
As a result, they had to call in the ambassador.
I responded with growing irritation.
The most Domus and the guards didn't get away unscathed, but ......
The brave men, drunk with the power they had been given, were able to beat up the Domas, resulting in many serious injuries such as shredded limbs, gutted stomachs, and blood loss, but it is fortunate that no one died.
Through Aoyuki's tamed messenger rats, we were able to confirm the battle of the "Underground Magic Experiment Station" - a one-sided overtaking.
As Mei said, the heroes tortured the Domas and the guards to satisfy their own sense of cruelty, perhaps because they were overwhelmingly stronger than the Domas and the guards.
Thanks to this, there were many seriously wounded, but not a single fatality.
Fortunately, the place where they were attacked was the Six Principality Magic Academy, where there were skilled healers and high-grade potions, so the wounds were treated immediately.
Of course, that was not all.
We were also there behind the scenes.
The amputated limbs, broken bones, and crushed eyeballs have all been regenerated thanks to the highly effective potions from Mr. Light's "Infinite Gacha" through the local merchants under our command. There are no aftereffects, and we expect to be able to work without problems from now on."
It's ironic that the heroes didn't kill them all at once, but tortured them so that they all survived. I'm not convinced, but ......"
I feel a strong sense of discomfort with their conduct.
Aside from the guards, there was a section of the Domas faculty that seemed to be enjoying the attack of the brave men in a way. ......
Well, well, it's Mr. Domas. ......
May's report causes me, too, who had been furrowing my brow in strong discomfort, to reveal a puzzled expression.
Domas, who had at first tried to persuade them to correct their mistaken path by reporting via Aoyuki's messenger,...... but after receiving the legendary weapon he had been told about in a story when he was a child, it seems that his researcher side came out.
'This is the "Spear of the Volcano" that the hero of the Holy Spear used to carry! A legendary weapon that contains the tremendous power of a volcano in its entirety! Indeed, the blade that pierces my body is extremely hot! Is this the attack of a legendary weapon?
Is this guy insane?"
The "hero of the Holy Spear," who had been tormenting Domus all this time, shouts in surprise as if he were looking a madman in the eye.
The name of the spear indicates that it specializes in the fire attribute, so the blade has a high heat. In other words, even though his internal organs were directly burned, his blood as a researcher seemed to be more excited than the pain, and Domas seemed to enjoy even the pain, making the brave men, including the "Brave Man of the Holy Spear," feel like a bunch of fools.
(He is the one who didn't hesitate to charge in and taste the heat of the "firewall" I put up with his own body in order to confirm the heat level of the firewall. ......)
Hearing that report, I couldn't help but agree with myself that 'he could do it.
After a light cough, I proceeded with my story.
I was attacked by a group of brave men, but fortunately, no one died," he said. So what's the bad news?
Mya, we still don't know where Quone is.
...... still difficult?"
I raised my eyebrows with a difficult look on my face.
Bad report" might be a bit of a misnomer.
I didn't think that a teacher would hesitate to immediately use a magic item that is valuable for transference on earth for the benefit of his students.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the best out of your own home is to be a good friend.
As expected, it is not possible to cancel a transition that moves in an instant, not even within a giant tower.
The brave side was taken by surprise thanks to this, and Mya and the others were able to escape. ......
The problem is that we lost Mya and the others on our side too.
You searched for them with SSR Clairvoyant, didn't you?
Of course. But we couldn't find them because they were already disguised. ......
May replies apologetically.
It's nothing for her to worry about.
The "SSR Clairvoyant" is a card that allows the user to discover and see distant objects that the user desires. However, it cannot see things whose conditions are unknown, unknown to the user, or too far away.
If the object is too much changed in appearance or too far away, it cannot be seen.
A woman can make a very different impression simply by changing her makeup, clothing, or hairstyle.
As a result, they may no longer be caught by the "SSR Clairvoyant".
It is not a convenient card that can definitely find lost items.
However, we can guess what they will do next.
Mya and her friends will probably go to "Giant Tower Town. If you find them, please protect them as a top priority.
Yes, sir."
May takes a bow as if to set an example.
Satisfied with her response, I give her the following instructions.
As for the brave men, we will capture them, extract information from them, and then kill them.
As we know from the case of Mya and the others, they consider us as the "Witch of the Giant Tower" - the "Demon King (enemy)" and are seriously trying to kill us.
Then there is no need to hesitate.
We just have to get the information out of their heads.
It doesn't matter if it's an outburst of the Goddess cult or if they are really the apostles of the Goddess. If they get in the way of me finding out the truth about my revenge, I will crush them without mercy.
May lets out a satisfied smile at my words and bows her head reverently in agreement.
She looked very satisfied and contented.
