30 029_ ● truth

Six days have passed since I stayed at the residence of the county of Abbas.

The perpetrators of the killing of Dolce are known.

He knew he was pulling a string behind him.

But we don't know if Lotten is involved.

Meanwhile, Bethe appeared when the sixth day was about to finish.

"Lord, here."

What Beze presented was a letter.

I guess I checked the contents and looked like a crushed worm.

I'm glad Canaan was already sleeping, but if I was awake I would have been worried at my look.

But all the pieces were hooked.

The next day, I ask Countess Abbas for a visit.

Earl, Ally, Rotten, Goliath, Dockum and Ziban gather in the office of Earl Abbas.

Earl and Ally are sitting in front of me sitting on the sofa of the reception set, Goliath standing behind Ivans's left, Rotten right behind, and Dockum standing a little far away from me with Ziban.

Ziban, standing with Dockum, is the number three of the Knights after Goliath and Lotten.

By the way, Canaan is behind me.

"Don't you know anything about Dolce, Sumeragi?"

"Think about that report."

"Is it true, Sumeragi?"

Answering Earl Abbas's question, Ally is about to stand up with her hand in front of her chest.

"First of all, let me swear I will never talk about my future."

"If you can tell the truth, let's swear!"

"I swear!"

When I see Goliath and Rotten, they say they swear.

And when he sees Dockum and Givenan, he nods with a grim expression.

I guess you don't think it's binding because it's a mouth promise.

"Let's see this."

I snap my finger.

Then the shadow emerges from the floor.

Goliath and Rotten tried to protect the Earl and Ally, but couldn't move because I pinpointed the killing.

"Now! Dolce !?"

"Dolce !?"

Earl and Ally stand up, apparently seeing Dolce, when they see the shadow Lord.

It is Dolce that appeared to us as the Earl and Ally say.

This is a call to the soul of Dolce, a trick that was made possible by Beze's success.

I also have a skill called Summon the Specter called Summon the Specter, but this skill cannot call the soul of Dolce.

You can call this [Death Summoning] by using a corpse, etc., but the original soul has not been established in the dead spirit at this time.

Therefore, memories and egos before dying become sparse dead spirits.

It is possible to call a monster without an ego or a monster that I have given an ego to, but [Demon Summoning] is inconvenient at times like this.

However, Bethe's [spirit absorption] can suck up dead human souls.

And the soul can be called as a ghost without substance.

"Calm down!"

When I collectively, they look surprised and look at my face.

"This is a summoned soul of Dolce"

"T, soul ......"

"Such a thing ..."

"Dolce's memory is fine. You can ask who killed Dolce, but before that ask a question I don't know to prove that this is Dolce's soul."

You will be asked to confirm that it is a real dolce first because it is troublesome even if it is said to be fake later.

"Can you talk ...?"

"Of course, it makes no sense otherwise."

Lotten asked instead of Earl and Ally, who were still stiff.

"My father, my sister, please forgive Dolce who was ahead."

""! ""

Dolce has a strong ego.

The memory is solid, and the memory is not a vague ghost.

"Mr. Hall, Alterias ... I have a question"

The two calmed down, staring at Dolce for a while with tears in their eyes, but regained themselves with Goliath's urging.

The two sitting back on the sofa ask Ghost Dolce that they only know their families.

And I start to cry.

"I never expected to see Dolce again!"

"I'm sorry I couldn't be killed instead, Dolce."

"I want my father and sister to be strong and live for a long time for me.

Earl holds his eyes down to Dolce with his head down, crying, and Allie holds his eyes down with a handkerchief.

"It's bad in the face of the family, but can we proceed?"

I have been watching for a while, but the sun goes down if I do not proceed with good talk.

And we're crying to Goliath and Rotten, are you going to be an escort?

Dokum and Ziban look pale because they saw ghosts or some other factor, and they are restless.

"I'm sorry, please proceed."

I think that the Earl who still has tears in his eyes, but has a firm voice is truly amazing.

I nodded small and turned to Dolce.

"Dolce, was Canaan here who killed you?"

My question is about Canaan, who was dropped on crime by false accusation.

Dolce turns his head sideways.

That's right. If Canaan was the culprit, he would say that Canaan was the culprit, not to mention the soul of Dolce.

"No, the three men killed me."

"Is that sure?"

The Earl nodded and asked Dolce back.

"No doubt, they were three unfamiliar men."

"Smeragi, where are these men now?"

"I know I'm a slum"

"Is there no doubt that the slum dweller killed Dolce?"

"That's it"

"Fear! Goliath, slum right now ---"

"They're not in the slum."

"Did you escape?"

The expression of the Earl should be angry or steep like a demon.

"Don't get so hot, don't you hear me?"

"Well, I'm sorry ... I ask for the continuation."

The Earl keeps his fist intact, but manages to remain calm.

Ally holds her hands tightly on her knees and shows her attitude not to miss my story.

I snap my fingers again, especially when the Earl calms down.

Then, three shades appear from the floor.

Earl, Ally, Goliath and Rotten are not familiar with the three.

However, Giban, one of whom has a dark blue face, is spurred with suspicious behavior by shedding large sweat from his forehead.

Dockum, who saw it, would know who these three were, and wouldn't hide his impatient expression.

"They killed Dolce, they are dead as you can see."

"" ""! ""

Except for Dockum and Zhibang.

Even Ali with a cute face is staring at them all with curses.

"You guys have Dolce!"

The Earl rises and tries to remove Goliath's sword.

I stop it with killing.

"That!"

Pinpoint killing is very convenient.

"I know I can't control my anger, but they're already dead, it doesn't make sense to cut them with a sword."

The sword cannot hurt the soul.

If you want to hurt your soul, it's difficult unless you have special weapons or sacred attribute magic.

"What Sumeragi says is right! But he can't control his anger."

"Then we're done here, because I've identified the three who killed Dolce."

"... Sumeragi-sama ... Is there any other person involved in the killing of Dolce?"

Allie has angry eyes, but calmly asks questions.

A strong daughter. And smart. Isn't he more noble than his father?

"Oh, they're just actors. There are others who have ordered."

"Now!"

"Please keep my father silent!"

Ally collects the Earl who tried to say something. I'm scared.

The count was surprised, but not only the count but also Goliath and Rotten.

It's no wonder that always-friendly Ally shouted his father out loud.

"Summeragi, please continue the story."

"Hey, is he here who ordered you?"

The three ghosts nodded.

In response to this, the Count and Goliath rush, but I stop with pinpoint killing.

"Point to that guy."

The three ghosts point to Givan, who has a blue face all at once.

""""eh!?""""

"Now! I don't know! This is his plot!"

While backing, Ziban shouts out that it was a plot I had set up.

Then she sends her gaze to Dockum for help.

Goliath and Rotten approach such a Givenan.

The two squeeze to the sword and the dock with their hands on the handle of the sword.

"Misunderstanding, that lie, I'm not doing anything!"

Goliath swings his sword by jumping one step closer to Ziban who rushes to the door of the room to escape.

"Gua!"

Givenan takes a sword over his shoulder.

"Did you kill !?"

"I'm hitting with a sheath"

Alli confirms Ziban's life and death, and Goliath responds while Zhiban's head explodes.

Dockum cast magic.

"Dockum! What are you doing?"

"While trying to catch Dolce as the main murderer, it seemed to me wrong."

Dockum, who had a blue face, seemed to consider Givan as an actor and run away.

It is a clear idea that there is no obvious evidence and no witness. My head turns unexpectedly.

You won't be punished if you kill by mistake in the middle of this slapstick, and if you do well you can get a reward.

But, am I here? Have you forgotten that there is me (to be exact, Bethe) who can call the soul even if you kill Ziban?

"I'm already helpless!"

Goliath tries to crawl into the dock, but Ally stops it.

Give everyone a little time to cool down once. That's annoying.

"Well, that knight is dead, do you want to hear more?"

As soon as everyone was calm, I approached the Earl.

The Earl tried to shake her head, but seemed to reconsider on the way and urges me to report.

"Yes, then ..."

Summon the soul of Ziban, which everyone has been preparing while calm. Beeze, really useful!

"What?"

Everyone except for Dockum was surprised.

I know I can summon a soul, so I'm not surprised.

And Dockum is so discouraged that he can hardly imagine from his reassured look.

Dockum is a dwarf who seems to be able to turn a little, but can only see shortly.

"Count, ask if you have any questions."

I dare not tell the truth.

The earliest judgment should be made by the Earl, because this is the uproar of the Earl's family.

After a short meditation, the Earl turned to the truth.

"Ziban, who instructed you to kill Dolce?"

"Yes, this is the dock."

Killing swells during the reception. Dockum shook his head backward and left and right and said "No."

Then he tries to escape like Ziban, but before that, Rotten stands in front of him and digs his fist into the dock tail of Dockum.

The body blow is determined beautifully, and the body of the dock is shaped like a dog.

And when he fell on the floor, Rotten did not catch the dock, so he fell into Moro from his face.

Dockum, who can't breathe and turns, raises a voice.

"Thank you!

The Earl looks down at Dockum, who is suffering with glances like filth.

Dockum stuns with a sad voice when he puts a kick on his face as if to hit him.

Lotten ties up the dock.

Have Dockum pay for the crime.

"I'm good at being restrained, but there are problems ..."

"It's a trial ..."

Lotten says there is a problem with guilty of Dockum, and the Earl responds with a wrinkle in the eyebrows.

In this world, neither good nor bad can be convicted without trial.

Canaan was found guilty of testimony without motivation, but in this case is the testimony of the ghost Dolce, the three ghost perpetrators, and the ghost Ziban.

I don't want to make a ghost in public, and I don't know if the ghost would testify if I could find Dockum guilty.

"If there is evidence ..."

The Earl mutters.

"Oh, there's evidence."

"What !? Is it true?"

I take the opened envelope from my pocket and place it in front of the Earl.

Needless to say, this is a letter from Count Fusel to Dockum.

Of course, the signature and the emblem have been confirmed in advance and have been determined to be genuine.

When the Earl reads the letter, he turns his face red and crumples it. Is that proof?

"Ore!"

The Earl screams and strikes the letter at the desk.

It is Allie who picked up the crumpled letter.

Allie reads the letter and is surprised with her hand on her mouth.

Goliath also looks through the letter.

Not reading the letter is Lotten, who was tying the dock.

"Goliath is ready for the war!"

"Hah!"

The Earl ordered Goliath to prepare for the war, but there was a call to stop it.

"Dad, please stop!"

Dolce.

"Why Dolce !?"

"If you fight, people will be unhappy! I don't want to see where people are unhappy about me!"

I think Dolce is too kind to stand on people. Well, I don't think I'll stand on people because I'm dead.

As the layman knows, the world of the aristocracy cannot be established if it is licked.

I don't think the Earl has left himself in anger and thoughts calmly, but I understand that even calmness could end up in a war.

While Dolce is desperately convincing the Earl, Rotten looks at the crumpled letter.

Rotten meditates in seconds after opening his eyes.

Then, gently place the letter on the desk and drop it back, and slowly pull out the sword and pull it against your neck.

A lot of blood then spurts out of Rotten's neck, of course.

"Rotten!"

Ally notices that Lotten is screaming and falls, shouting, but he knows that lots of blood has already spewed out of Lotten's neck and will not help.

"What!"

"Rotten!"

Earl and Dolce also stop discussing Lotten's incident.

Ally holding Lotten trying to say something desperately holds the wound in her neck.

Probably Rotten is apologizing. Or maybe you're grateful to the Earl and Ally for making it happen.

Even if you hold it down, blood will flow out.

As I mentioned earlier, it wouldn't normally help. But here I am.

Well, I do nothing.

When I signal Canaan with my gaze, Canaan activates the magic.

Warm light wraps around Lotten, and the complexion returns to a pale complexion.

This is the extra healing healing magic in Light Magic, which cures any injuries if not dead.

Since a normal magician or priest can't cast it, it's a magic that is so high that only few people can use it.

Now, Canaan can cast magic without any chanting, as I can, so I could put on heels before Rotten died.

Canaan, who survived the hell of powerrebe, could cast magic without chanting, which would have been impossible yesterday.

I think it's my charm to show hell though it's so powerful.

"Okay, I'm just fainted now. The wounds have healed completely."

When I say so, Arie thanks me and Canaan with a bloody appearance.

"Sumeragi, why is Rotten doing this?"

I ask the Earl's question and take out the second letter from my bosom.

The letter was addressed by Count Houser to his niece and Rotten's wife.

The text states that after Dolce's death, his niece's son, Rotten's son, was to be traced to the Earl.

Sophisticated Rotten may have realized his wife's involvement after reading in his first letter that Count Fusel was the true culprit who ordered the killing of Dolce.

Perhaps such a story had appeared at home.

No, no. I feel like I've peeped into the depths of a muddy aristocratic society.

In summary, the three perpetrators of the killing of Dolce are already dead and have no family, so they can do nothing.

Giban was instructing the perpetrators, who rubbed against Canaan for the killing of Dolce at Dockum's direction.

This initiative is not just done by Dockum and Ziban.

There were quite a few people who were weak by Dockum or bought by money or goods.

Earl Fuzel was pulling the string behind the dock.

The maid who poisoned me seemed threatened to kill me, who was investigating the killing of Dolce, due to her family being held by Earl Huzel.

If you think about it, the maid is probably a victim, but she was imprisoned because she was known to be poisoning me.

It's not my fault but I feel sick.

Dockum convinced Canaan of his sins because he was jealous of Canaan's talents, who began serving the Avas as a magician apprentice.

From my point of view, I couldn't understand where Canaan felt, who couldn't abandon her chanting, but she felt something as the same magician.

At the end of the day, Dockum seemed to want an aristocratic breed because talented young people such as Canaan would threaten their position.

Counting on it is Count Fusel.

Surprisingly, Dockum's power was followed by twenty knights and magicians.

Below the knight are those called servants.

There are at least 10 squires under the knight because there are quasi-knights who may soon become knights, knight apprentices who will soon be quasi-knights, and troops performing chores.

The same applies to magicians, but the number of magicians is so small that there are no five servants under one magician.

Approximately 20% of the Dokum's custody in the custody of Earl Abbas's family was caught.

This time, it is known that Hoosel led the killing of Dolce in an attempt to take over the Abbas family, with the aim of expanding its power and raising the ranks.

And there was no evidence of Dolce killing for Lotten.

Since Rotten was not involved in this case, there is no evidence of it.

In fact, Rotten's wife is close to the main culprit, after Earl Huzel, so it is likely that Rotten and his children will be subject to some punishment.

By the way, the three killers who committed the killing of Dolce were killed outside the town of Algria, and their bodies were eaten by monsters.

How he determined that corpse to be the perpetrators was due to Beze's success.

As mentioned earlier, Bethe has the skill of [spirit absorption].

This skill is a skill that sucks souls, but it is a skill that can suck souls regardless of whether they are living or dead.

As for the dead, there is almost certainly a soul near the corpse for about a month after death, but after that period the soul reincarnates and disappears from the place or becomes a demon (monster) Depending on the elapsed time, it will be difficult to find a soul because you will wander.

Fortunately, less than a month had passed since the Dolce murder, and Bethese, who was able to find and absorb the souls of Dolce himself and the three perpetrators, was able to share the memories of those souls.

Beeze, who had memorized the three actors, found that it was Ziban, not Dockum, who ordered them directly.

They didn't know about Dockum and didn't know who was behind them, so they had no choice but to pile up evidence.

Of course, they say they don't even know about their peers.

Well, Dockum wasn't stupid enough to make direct contact with the actors.

For the three actors, Dolce was killed and he was supposed to get money and leave the town, but Ziban betrayed that they were killed.

Since the three people were killed in the area where the demon comes out, after the killing, the monster would have disposed of the corpse.

I thought it was a fool to hit me intuitively, but Dockum was surprisingly cautious.

In this way, Dockum is intuitive, but to some extent it's a fool with planning.

Either way, it's a big idiot because he killed his father's son.
