224 Countdown to the end

"The Samurai's Dead"

It was us who received the report, but Sarovara would have also faded to this event.

"Killing a handkerchief," "a sinner who doesn't break his mouth harms himself," is a development that comes to mind for everyone. Situationally, I'm sorry I didn't apologize.

Moreover, King Sarovara has promised an honest response to Irfena and my protests. So a valuable clue to do it all was a samurai.

I can't complain about this even if I'm blamed. I wasn't expecting it because the court magician was alle, but it's a problem nonetheless.

... but.

That's not all I think.

"I'm so... I'm so sorry! Even though these things were expected, they would let you die, etc. It is clear that there is a fallacy in our country. Let's not scold you."

……

It is the knight of that escort who droops his head deeply and deeply in front of you and apologizes. He's so apologetic all over his body that it's so obvious to everyone's eyes that he thinks he's sincerely sorry.

Yeah, as for Sarovara, that's the natural response. I know that, right?

I just want to say this.

'Why are you here to apologize...?' And!

This man, the king's trusted knight, would mean Kingsguard or something. That's the position I should be in as well.

In other words, I am not in a position to assume responsibility for the management of sinners, even if they are mistaken. I didn't keep an eye on the jail where the samurai was put, absolutely.

Still, bringing this guy over means.

"Well, why are you here to apologize?

On behalf of the Marquis of Leckbari, who remained silent - and other Irfena forces do not speak because they are treated as escorts - when I opened my mouth, the knight raised his face with a suspicious look.

Whoa... you asked me to question you too! Is it usual to be pushed into these roles!?

"Coming to apologize is the person in charge about the samurai, or someone in a position to hang from the Marquis of Leckbari. Why is it irrelevant... the way you say it is subtle, but you're coming, not them?

"I thought it was impeccable in my capacity. My parents are Duke's."

"Hey."

I felt the voices of the hearts and minds of the Irfena forces overlapped in the position of the knight who had been told to rush. The knight doesn't notice us like that and groans, "But it's certainly rude to be like a knight..." etc.

He said he had power, but was he the son of the Duke's house? Well, it's enough to be a knight, so I think I have some brothers upstairs.

……

This was chosen because his father, the Duke, earns the king's trust.

Probably on King Sarovara's side with a handful of dukes at home. Did you put it on me out of a sense of responsibility and... vigilance?

I don't know if the knight himself knew the back, but with a little thought, he was a very convincing candidate. Yeah, I'm starting to see why you became my escort!

Since this man is a very legitimate knight on top of the Duke's, I guess he stepped on it that my safety would be guaranteed as long as he was protected.

Conversely, it was a circumstance where I would be able to activate a crime of disrespect if I were to break out.

Oh, somehow the ticks and gaze pierce me from the Irfena momentum...... "Have you done disrespect? Do you mean. That's people I don't understand.

Yeah, I'm just messing around!

But it's okay! Because I'm also the benefactor of this man's life!

I intend to activate the bounty I have sold. Due to the character of this knight, that would offset me enough.

It's just... I get a headache about new possibilities.

It would also be likely enough that the samurai harmed herself when this happened. Anyway, if it's just me being treated like a civilian, this knight is about to be killed with a scroll.

If the person who taught the samurai the existence of the trap had taught them that 'chanting will never help'... the development of our survival should be unexpected.

Then I'm convinced why you saw us and were stunned or panicked. Not only was I safe, but even the knight who was a witness.

Samurai sold fights to the Duke's house as well. In the future, it will not only be the samurai, whose accomplices will also be admired by the Duke's family, which is the home of the knight. Same goes for those who shelter samurai.

The helpers will never show up, this. It crosses the boundaries of sympathy and shelter. Were the samurai isolated and helpless without jokes?

Even if the samurai were aristocrats, they just aren't in the same capacity as the Dukes and Marquises. It would be rare for a lady in such a position to be a samurai.

There is no future in Sarovara, even if we manage to protest from Ilfena. Well, despair, too.

Above all, this could also have been a candidate for the mastermind (tentative) First Princess. If that's the case, it's too scary, that guy. How far were you calculating and working out a plan?

"Oh... uh, that's not what I meant. I was wondering if it would be more important for the person responsible to come along with a description of the situation than you promised to" respond honestly ". You obviously have nothing to do with samurai surveillance."

Slightly swimming his gaze but telling him, the knight looked like a bad one. Yeah? Was that what this guy thought, too?

"As a matter of fact..." You wouldn't be in a bad mood, Lord Mage, "he said. Well, I was pushed."

For the reasons told, a raw warm gaze was concentrated from the Irfena forces to the knights. Everyone's eyes say this...... 'It's too poor to draw lots'.

To my escort, to accompany me to the trap, and finally to report the death of a samurai... I would be too sorry, this man.

"That's the problem with the guy who pushed it. Bring it in, that idiot."

If you exhale and I just laugh warmly, "I can't help it."

"Ho, I didn't expect you to transfer responsibility"

Marquis Leckbari summed it up in a word with Bassari. The knight fades unexpectedly.

I'm laughing, us. Yeah, I'm smiling. Smile.... I just lost faith and fondness for Sarovara.

Ha... I was still sweet. If the court magician had been arraigned, there could have been a lot of them, even knights.

In the first place, if the aristocratic class in this country, there is a good chance that all the parents "interests > loyalty." Exactly. The Knights chief would be decent, but how trustworthy underneath is suspicious.

Well, it could have been pushed because this knight is a duke family person who has the king's trust.

He may have simply pushed an unpleasant role for reasons such as being in the way of a power struggle, being too serious and annoying. If we bump into frustration, that's what the guys who pushed us will think.

The knight has been frightened, but I was not willing to be angry with this knight. As far as the Marquis Leckbari is concerned, the Marquis doesn't seem angry either. You mean you tested the integrity of a knight?

"Yes, yes, I'm not angry with you. This is obviously Sarovara's fault, but we're not stupid enough to give you an eight."

Saying so, the knight looked at us unexpectedly. I'm not sure what they said, and it's a mixed look.

"If I show my anger toward you, it's because that's what the idiots who pushed the unpleasant part do. We're not nice enough to be used to harass you to that extent."

"A man from a country called the kingdom of the mighty should not be exploited as incompetent!

Me laughing at the bitter Marquis of Leckbari, teasing. He said the Irfenas agree with us, and they never pinched his mouth.

Was it an unexpected development, the knight gets a frightened look. But I instantly corrected my face again.

"Still, it is we, Sarovara, who should apologize. Thank you for your concern!

"You're serious."

"I can't be with you, Mizuki."

If you squeak, the Marquis of Leckbari puts an immediate penetration in. It's annoying, Master Raccoon.

Turning to Zito, Marquis Leckbari looks at me with a frightened look.... Seems I meant it, I just don't want the raccoon to tell me hey.

I exhaled one thing and clasped my shoulders. This doesn't change the situation. Until 'change'!

"Well, that's enough silly talk. It was stranger that that samurai wasn't murdered, so honestly, it's an anticipated development, isn't it? Late or early? I just think that's the difference"

"Oh, that's, well..."

The knight naturally thought of that, too, and he has a bad tooth cut. It's more surprising that he was alive. Sarovara, who let him die while understanding it, will also have an affair, but it is a possibility that 'nothing could have happened now'.

For example... the slow-acting poison used by the kidnappers, etc. Because if the samurai had already been drunk to some extent, it could also be said that it was simply too late for the effects to appear.

This is what Dr. Gordon told me. Because of the less developed health care, something called lethality seems ambiguous. Because of personal differences, it is rare for some people to see the effect? Some species are perfectly fine, like the balls, so I'm convinced.

It's totally for long-term planning because the time of death will vary depending on your physique and magic amount in the first place, and then the amount you consume - if you mix it with tea, the amount of poison that seeps out will be unknown -.

Based on those points, you were the assassins, weren't you? Think so. Something unlikely to be suspected of being the killer if we have had a few drinks together.

As far as the knights are concerned, make it 'murder' or 'self-harm'. Think it's normal poison. Yes. I chose death because I knew I could not give thanks... because I could also interpret it that way.

There are convenient magic such as detoxification and healing. That's the harm. I can't believe it's too commonplace to use magic and that medical technology hasn't advanced much.

That is very difficult in this world, even though in the original world it is natural to identify the cause of death and poison. Even if doctors came to this world, it would be suspicious if they could be accepted by people accustomed to magic.

Well, anyway. It's nearly impossible to reach the killer if you think realistically and leave it there. It is possible that the samurai's statement and circumstantial 'the executor is dead, so this is the end'.

Q: Then what can I do to avoid it?

A: Expose about the kidnapping and give information about the poison.

You don't have to be hiding more about the kidnapping than you have a mastermind star. I have a role to play in exposing the King as a 'personal story'.

Let's talk about it, including that. We've come so far, we have to settle this before the king can help us... there's no point in coming to Sarovara! I don't have a souvenir for the Demon King! Everybody's not convinced!

Either that or I think the ratings from other countries will go down on me. As far as I want to build a nice bond of congruence of interests in the future, I can't have a little of that.

"You came all the way here to report me, shall I give you a souvenir? It's up to you to bring your conversation with me to life. … my discretion, but there is also a topic that I would like to keep in your Lord's ear."

Sit down, and I urge the knight with my gaze. Neither Marquis Leckbari nor anyone says anything. It's my personal conversation from here on out.

The knight seemed somewhat lost, but eventually took his seat, as he was told. I guess the conversation we had at that mining site and the rest of that became an appreciation for me. At least they stepped on it that it was worth getting a 'souvenir'.

"From here on out is a conversation between me and you. Unless the Irfenas pinch their mouths, think they're gone."

To the abrupt offer, the knight looked at me like a little, then turned his gaze to the Irfena forces. They smile and remain silent.

The knight is not foolish enough not to draw that silence is the will of permission.

…… Got it. But is it ok for the Wizard Master to have information spoken?

Nodding, the knight guides me. Did you not think that such discretion would be tolerated in his position?

Well, technically, I'm not allowed to either. 'I'm just going to have to forgive you' because we're going to get results eventually.

"It's okay because if it leads to results, they'll consider it.... Something that doesn't kill people with sermons. It's also about showing me around."

Pompous, he added, the knight grinned slightly after his eyes opened gently.

"His Highness Elshon, is it? I have never met you in person, but I have heard rumors. But...... that rumor didn't seem very correct. Someone like you puts so much trust into it. Excellence must have a tough, gentle side to it, listening to rumors."

An instant stops at the unexpected demon king's assessment.

"This is the place, but I want to apologize. Forgive me for watching your guardian with cloudy eyes."

That said, the figure of the knight bowing his head was honesty itself.

Was the Irfena force also surprised by this, with slight signs of upset? I learned that I had never been dealt with in this way before in their attitude.

This knight does not know the intimidation of the Demon King. That's why until then if I said it was a word, but still I would have heard all sorts of noisy rumors. Still, I didn't expect these words to come out.

Knight... I'm on your side now.

Previous words and deeds go hand in hand with a growing fondness for knights. A statement of determination in my heart. I do not accept objections. It's a super valuable talent, this guy.

... Speaking of which, I didn't even feel like I looked down on Master Frog. He seemed sorry for that warcraft, too, and I guess he can handle it honestly, regardless of race.

I have no plans for hostility with King Sarovara either, so I have no problems where I personally take sides. I mean, I'd like this knight if I were to give him information. There are also reasons why it is easy to give information because there is no strange bias.

The only thing I doubt is if someone else plays it, if the first part of the message game is cocky, then it won't last.

"Thank you. A lot of things are said because of the magic of being born, but the Demon King is just showing me around."

"Again, you are"

"Yeah. Because if you're a magician, it's normal to think in the direction you use it, but that guy only really considers it a last resort"

Smile and say thank you, and the knight exhales in relief to see if he felt anything. Perhaps, but you found out the correctness of your views.

Well, should we get down to business?

"There is another reason why we have an understanding of the death of a samurai. It's..."

That being said, my words were suddenly to be blocked by the opening of doors and the appearance of new figures.

It's a man about twenty years old who's staring at this one, and... isn't he a knight from his outfit?

Approaching me, the knight turned a stern eye on the intruder. But the intruder looks at me regardless.

"Yours... it's your fault! She's dead because...!

Understand that this intruder is a person close to a samurai in words spun with a caged voice of resentment.

It's enough to launch a raid on a spot like this. You should see it as being semi-frequent in the death of a samurai and acting as an emotion.

"Oh, until I had a natural response?

If I told him to incite it, the intruder's face would have been distorted to cry. Hmm? Do you understand that it's an eight hit? I guess that just means my emotions couldn't be helped......

And I deepen my grin. Is this intruder the first princess's money, or is it an unexpected event even for her?

Either way, we got another chance for things to move. That's everything.

"In the first place, I don't remember letting you in."

"Annoying!"

I grinned deeper and deeper in reply to being well returned. Expect new possibilities, aware that even that will incite intruders.

Maybe... his words and actions will lead to a decision. Besides, some knights now have the king's trust.

All the witnesses on Sarovara's side are likely to dance well, as are the intruders in a state of excitement.

... because now the Irfena forces are at my disposal and nobody moves. silent permission and should receive it.

Come on, Mr. Intruder? What do you bring to us?
