Chapter 256: The true identity of the mastermind

When I logged into the game, Sephone asked me to cook her a meal, which I obliged and of course I ate it with Lily and the others who had joined in.

I'm not going to say anything else.

"I'm very satisfied...oops, I thought humans were supposed to say itadakimasu"

"Ah, thank you very much. You really know your stuff"

"Of course! No other subspecies knows Freetia as well as I do"

When I spoke to her, she told me that she had been peeking at the ground with her shadow summoning. Then I realized something important.

"Do you know almost everything about Freetia?"

"Umm! What? Anything you want to know, I can tell you"

"Do you know the demon that attacked Princess Sylphy Freetia?"

If she knows everything, there's a good chance.

"I didn't see the scene of the crime, but I did see who slipped through the barrier and entered the Princess' room. I'm almost certain of it since the disease started that day"

She didn't see the crime scene, but I'm pretty sure it was him.

"Can you tell me what he looks like? I'd like to know his name, if possible"

Now, what's the big one?

"I don't know her name, but she was a nice-bodied woman"

Yes. That alone will hit all nightmare species. But Sephone gave me another hint.

She's a Zoroastrian demon, one of the Seven Devas of Vendidad. She is an evil god of iniquity and deceit, a breeding ground for rotting corpses and a source of impurity for the world.

"Druj. Or should I call it Druj Nasu?"

Ose fell silent. Silence is good, right?

I left Ose's room and found Princess Sarah.

"Did you find out who did it?"

"Yes. Do you know a demon called Druj or Druj Nasu?"

"I'm sorry. I have no idea...but the library or the Beastmaster's Guild might have something"

Then I'll go check it out.

"Can I get rid of this demon?"

"Yes. Please"

This Ose is the demon that tried to kill Princess Sylphy. It's only right that Freetia dispose of him. It's a waste of experience, though.

I headed to the Beastmasters Guild and found Nephi-san there. I heard that Aura-san and the others were headed for the reconstruction of Fast Town.

"Druj...I'm sorry. I've never heard of it. I'll look into it myself"

"I'm sorry. You had a long vacation..."

"Huhu. Don't worry about it. I have to keep an eye on Grandmaster to make sure he doesn't escape"

It's hard work, Nephi-san. Now, I'm heading to the library for the first time in a while. Since I'm here, I'm going to check out some stuff.
