389 - - The 387th Sun.

After capturing Baron Messon, we parted from the guildmasters and left Marco, Kikka, Belle and the others in Mel's safekeeping. ...... It took a bit of work, but we were able to depart.

"I'll do my best, sis!"

The cause of this little hassle is extremely tense. Well, I only went to pick her up because she told me that she would sulk later if I left her at such an event, but I'm glad she's in a good mood, and I'm grateful for Sylphy's advice.

On that note, I sent a message to Gina and Sara to go to Mel's workshop if I was running late, and on Sylphy's advice I asked them to summon Vita to guard Gina and Sara instead of Dine.

I wondered how it would be to ask Vita, who hates conflicts, to guard them, but she said it would be no problem since there was no need to kill them and it would be easy enough to disable them without hurting them.

I used to think that Vita is not suitable for fighting, but now that I think about it, people can be immobilized by absorbing their vital energy such as strength. It means that Vita is the best spirit to neutralize the enemy without hurting them.

When I heard that story, I wished I had summoned them from the beginning and asked them to come with me to capture Gulli and his son, but they said they would prefer not to go to a place where a conflict is certain. Spirits are difficult to deal with.

I asked Nomos to come with me, but he said that if it's just for fun, I should give priority to sake islands and new sake, and I sometimes wonder what a contract spirit is. No, I'm sure he'll listen to me if I ask him properly. .......

"What is this?　Why am I flying?　You're dreaming!"

Ah, Baron de Messon, who had been knocked out, is awake. It's true that if you wake up and find yourself flying in the sky, you'll think you're dreaming, won't you?

"Yuta, can I knock him out for being so noisy?　Or is there something you want to tell me?"

Baron de Messon only wants to show Galli and his son, so there is no need to talk about it. To be frank, it would be nice if he could stay unconscious until the end.

"Yes, let him pass out."

"Hmm?　What the hell are you ugh ......"

Baron de Messon responded to my voice and was in the middle of saying something when Sylphy knocked him out and made him quiet. It seems that I am the only one in this place for Baron Messon, which is a good thing, because he would complain endlessly if I stayed awake.

Once it is quiet, we have a final meeting about our activities in King's Landing. I'm not supposed to have Dine in my mind, so there will have to be a slight change of plan, but it will be fine as long as it's not too loud.

Well, I've got homework from IF, and we'll be arriving at the capital soon, so there's not enough time. Let's ask Sylphy to fly a little slower.

I'll let Sylphie fly a little slower.

We arrived at a little distance from the residence of the Marquise de Galli. The surrounding houses are so big that I feel a little nervous at the thought of making a commotion in such a place. It might have been a mistake to have walked to the front of this house.

At first I thought of entering the royal city from the sky, but I thought that they would know it was me anyway, so there was no need to commit more criminal acts for nothing, so I presented my guild card and entered the royal city. I think I'm too much concerned about a minor offense when I'm going to attack a marquis's house.

It is interesting that Baron Messon was carried from the sky by Sylphy, which means that Baron Messon is the only trespasser. Well, they don't write their names at the gate, so they won't be found out, but it would be funny if they were.

"Sylphy, are Gulli and his son in the house?"

"Yes, I'm here. Besides Galli and his son, there are two others who seem to be under house arrest in a room with two big guys and a guard.

Well, I heard that there is a relative who is vying with Viscount Galli's brothers for the title. Maybe they're related to the family. I'm sure we can find out everything if we wake up Baron Messon, but he won't tell us everything and his family has a bad reputation, so we should invite them all by the way.

"Sylphie, can you bring all the important people and those who are being held captive?"

I don't have to ask, but it might be a hassle, so we should make sure it's okay.

"Yes, I don't mind, but if there are more people, it will take longer.

I guess they were worried about that, too....two people were supposed to be there, but there were six, which simply means it would take three times as long as it should.

"Well, we can't leave the bad ones behind halfway, so let's take them all.

It's also a pity that people assume you are a bad person just because of rumors, but if you haven't done anything wrong, you can just be afraid. Let's just agree that it's unfortunate that he had an idiot in his family.

"Okay. Shall we get started?"

"Yeah, let's get started. Let's hit the ground running.

As soon as he says the words, he heads for the gates of the Marquise de Galli's mansion. Since we're going to beat them to the punch, we should go in the front. It's the margin of the powerful.

In fact, it could be said that we are a fox that borrows the authority of a tiger (a great spirit), but let's just say that we can do the same thing with pioneering tools if we try hard enough, so the result is the same.

"Hey, Baron Messon!　What the hell do you think you're doing?

Seeing Baron de Messon, who is wrapped around a plant vine and knocked out, two of the gatekeepers point their spears at him. They knew I was the enemy even before we exchanged a word.

I pretend to chant, and Dine waves her right hand in the air, sending a water ball into the bodies of the two gatekeepers, blowing them away. Immediately, Dolly wraps the two fallen gatekeepers in vines.

Once again, we pretend to chant when we are in the public eye, but the real chanting is too painful when it is done too many times, so we have it dismissed.

"Okay, here we go!"

If lit a fire in his right hand, swung it around, and hit the gate with all his might. The moment his fist hits the gate, the fire spreads explosively and the gate bursts open with a roar.

Wow, the wreckage of the gate disappeared into dust before it hit the ground. The concept of this strike was to be flashy, but seeing such a flashy move right in front of my eyes made me very nervous about what was to follow.

"All right. Yuta, let's go!"

IF, you look like you're having a lot of fun. Well, iff is not allowed to play with other people, so I guess it can't be helped if he breaks things with a lot of flamboyance.

"Okay. I'll be right there.

"The wind has surrounded the house. No one can get in or out."

Good, so no one can escape and we won't be disturbed from the outside. Whoa! From the house by the gate, soldiers with weapons rushed out. That house was the private guardroom of the Marquise de Galli.

Where the hell do you think you are?

The soldiers came out, weapons at the ready, surrounding me and threatening me with their mouths. I immediately pretended to chant, and wind, water, and plants attacked the soldiers surrounding me at once, blowing them away one after another.

This must look like I'm controlling 3 attributes at once. Is the necromancer a monster! I'm glad if you think, "Oh, that's good," because that will raise the stock of the genie.

Dolly will catch the fallen soldiers with great dexterity, so I'll just leave them alone and move on. I pretend to chant as I skip past the soldiers. ...... I'm looking pretty cool right now, aren't I?

I feel good and go on, but the garden is so big that I feel jealous, so I ask Sylphy to fly low over it. There was a statue on the way that made me feel bad, but I felt a little better after If had neatly made it disappear.

"Boom!"

The inside of the mansion is in an uproar when If makes the big door of the mansion disappear.

"Sylphy, please!"

"I just have to show them around from one side to the other, don't I?"

"Yes, it's a pretty big house, so please be quick."

"Well, let's start this way first."

Follow Sylphy's lead through the house, storing everything you see, and the combatants in the house are captured by Sylphy and her team. The non-combatants are captured by Sylphy, who gently stuns them. But it's a big house with a lot of people and things working there.

**

"Is this all of it?"

"Yes, we've been to all the hidden rooms and everything. There's no one in the house anymore, and I think we've got most of the stuff."

Then we're all set. Let's go outside. Sylphy leads us to a hidden room where we find a lot of evidence of crimes, such as the diversion of military supplies.

The older brother's family has revealed the wrongdoings of the younger brother's family, and the younger brother's family has revealed the wrongdoings of the older brother's family, so at a glance, I think that the wrongdoings of the whole family are written.

It seems to me that we should just report this to the government and be done with it, but that would be too flashy, so let's make sure that it goes to the right place after the whole thing is over.

By the way, we have captured the Gulli family and their relatives, too, but we haven't stunned them, so they are a bit noisy. I was also surprised to see that Viscount Galli is surprisingly thin.

Maybe he lost weight because of the hardships he went through on his travels, but it seems that he could train his body but not his mind.

One thing I wonder is ...... I think he was the first squire of Viscount Galli, but for some reason he was tortured until he was torn to pieces and locked up in the dungeon. I wonder if it's a gang war?

We went outside, worried, and moved to a remote place, leaving the Gulli family apart and the employees captured by vines. The items collected in the villa are piled up next to each other.

As the military was privately owned, it was full of money and cash. I could have taken it, but the mere thought of it belonging to the Marquise de Galli made me feel bad, and the state would probably confiscate it later, so I decided to leave it behind. I went to the Galli's who were ranting and raving after having made all the preparations.

"Hey, who are you!　Untie me. To make an enemy of the Galli is to make an enemy of this country. You think you'll get out of here alive!"

It's not a rope, it's a vine. ...... Huh?　Does this guy not understand me?

"Well, don't you recognize me?"

"Oh?　What are you, an adventurer?　How would I know such a lowly adventurer?"

Viscount Galli says unpleasantly. He's forgotten what I look like, but he remembers the disrespect he's shown me! I don't know, I'm afraid of Viscount Galli's mentality.

"I'm the necromancer you tried to kidnap! Well, I'll have my revenge on you later, so shut up and watch."

Viscount Galli shouts when he finds out that I am the one he wants to kill. The Marquess of Galli and his people are also making a lot of noise.

It seems that these people don't fully understand their situation. They really seem to think that they can't be harmed. It's refreshing to be so self-centered ......?

"Yuta, it's about time."

If called out to me with an expression that said he couldn't wait. He was looking forward to what we were about to do. He was quite happy when I explained to him what we were going to do, so I guess he likes to do flashy things as well as fighting. He nods silently.

"Okay, Yuta, start chanting. Make it flashy!　I'm not going to use the same one over and over again. You've had time to think."

I wanted to end the ...... pretense of chanting without a break, but I guess I hadn't forgotten about my homework. Hmmm... I guess it's just one of those things that happens as long as we live, but it's sad to see the black history piling up. I stare at the house with determination.

"Great Spirit of Fire, show your power to me, your contractor, with your scorching power!　Fire!　Raging fire!　Abominable fire!　Red lotus!　Purgatory!　Burning!　Flaming sky!　Divine fire!　Before thy flame, all shall be burned to ashes ......"

The key is to make it sound like a potty mouth at the end. It's mostly just a bunch of kanji that make my kitchen heart tingle, but since the chant doesn't mean anything, I don't really care!

......oh ...... my heart is turning to ashes .......

When I started the shame play, If laughed and held his right hand above the head of the mansion. At first a torch-like fire flared up, and then the fire grew bigger and bigger as it swirled and rotated.

"Hey, what are you doing!

The Marquis de Galli notices the fire and starts to question us, but we ignore him as we are too busy trying to regain our peace of mind. The fire over the head of the villa grows without abating, and a small sun is born, shining brightly over the city.

...... Is this okay?　I don't feel the heat from such a big fire so close to me, so they are taking care of us, but it's still scary.

"Go away!"

If said that, he waved his right hand down and the miniature sun slowly set toward the mansion. Probably a very exciting scene for Flair to watch.

The Marquis de Galli's house is swallowed up by the small sun without a sound. It doesn't explode, and the fire doesn't spread. It just burns out in an instant or the house seems to simply disappear.

What kind of temperature would make such a thing possible?　If the fire doesn't spread, it means that the heat is completely blocked except for the part it touches, right?　I don't understand.

As I and the Marquise de Galli, whose house was being burned to the ground, watched in dismay, the sun extinguished the house without leaving a single piece, and it sank to the ground. I said "spectacularly," but it's too spectacular.

Thinking about it again, I've just ...... done something terrible, haven't I?　I have a lot of ideas for what to do next, but I think this is enough. I hope Sylphy and the others will be satisfied with this.　I want to go home.
