673 Outside the office. Father and Mr. Ginal.

The room that followed Jinnal was a very bad room.

I'd like to say that if I had spent some money, I would have done a little more.

No, Bishop Ottmith should have polished his senses before he put the money on it.

"Sit down."

Following Jinnal's gaze, there was a three-seater sofa.

It's made of monster leather, so it's going to cost a lot of money.

There was a figurine in the middle of the sofa that I had never seen before.

There's probably a real jewel in the eye.

Only that part is shining.

That's very, very creepy.

You're gonna sit next to that?

"No, it's okay to stay standing."

If you sit down, you'll be cursed.

"Oh, that's right. Well, that's right."

Jinnal also looks at the creepy figurine on the sofa with a subtle expression.

Then why did you tell me to sit next to him?

More than that, you could have cracked all the codes, right?

In order to receive it, Jinnal drops by the desk where he is standing.

On the desk, there were a few documents.

Ah...

And there was a miniature version of the same figurine as the sofa.

In addition, this time the figurine is scattered with jewels on the body part.

The fact that this is also on the desk means that you liked this shape.

Bishop Ottmith's sense of humor may not have made sense.

"Here it is."

Receive a few documents from Ginar.

Look at the top document.

"I've seen a lot of codes, but this is the first time. I have no idea."

I've done a lot of work, and I've seen quite a few codes, but I've never used only numbers.

"I'm new to that code, too."Probably made up a new one when he realized that the encryption that was used mostly in the church had been deciphered. ”

I see.

But Ginar's organization is also terrifying.

You said it took longer than usual to decipher this code, didn't you?

That's all we need, isn't it?

Several times, I felt its existence in the work behind the scenes, but I didn't think it was an amazing organization.

Sometimes I tried to find out, but I was right to stop.

Read the second document.

"A girl between the ages of 9 and 11 who fled the village of Latmi.Death in the village of Latme. The girl could have been the key.It is possible that he is alive.Once we know it exists, we'll be dead.If you're dead, find the next key. "

As soon as I read the content, I knew that my cold emotions had boiled.

“Calm down, that's Ivy, isn't it?”

Silently nods to Ginar's words.

The village of Latmi is the village where Ivy was born.

Dead in the village of Ratme, Captain Ogt thought about Ivy's future.

There can be no deficiency in the documents he has produced.

And yet, you're still alive.

Perhaps the one who fled Ratmi saw Ivy, or the astrologer the church is capturing.

"You mean Ivy, after all." Do you have any idea what the key is? "

Keys?... keys...

"I can't think of anything." This means the church is looking for Ivy. "

“Yes, but I'm not sure I'm still alive.”

Certainly, I don't think he's alive.

But I'm sure you're looking for it.

There is heavy air flowing into the room.

"Does Ginar have any idea what the key is?"

When I saw him, I noticed a slight movement in his expression.

You know something, don't you?

"Druid and I are going crazy."

Exhaling a sigh, I saw Jinnal sitting deep in the chair.

I want to know everything there is to know about Ivy.

No, I need to know.

"I didn't do anything in the report because I wasn't directly involved, but I don't know, okay?"

Yeah.

“Eighty years ago, a boy disappeared from the town of All.The Vigilante and the Adventurer's Guild searched, but they couldn't find it. "

Eighty years ago, before the law decided that children existed in a village or town, not just their parents.

And you moved to the Adventurer's Guild, not just the Vigilante?

"Were you a child of the nobility?"

"No, he was the second son of a merchant. He was 12 years old."

And yet, you did a big search?

"He was a very special child."

Special?

“The report said, 'I knew so much that I didn't think I was 12 years old, and I was very committed to the development of the town of All.'”

Knowledge?

A lot of people looked for it because it is an indispensable child for the development of the town.

"The child was found two months later in the village of Khatada, but all his memories were gone."

You don't remember?

"However, when I saw the adventurer who was close to my child in Oar Town, I seemed to have lost consciousness by holding my arm and shouting," Protect the key and hide the next key. "The next time I woke up, I didn't even remember what I said. "

Protect the keys?

Do you want to hide the next key?

So?

"That's all."

Is that all?

"Yes, that's all. It's just that our old colleagues involved in the case must have felt something."I gave instructions to the entire organization to find and protect the keys.However, I still don't know how to find the key. "

That's some pretty half-hearted instruction.

Didn't the people who gave you the instructions leave anything else?

"Yeah, they killed me right after I gave you the instructions."

Huh? Did they kill you?

"I can't believe Ivy has a key."

Ginar sighs heavily.

“What are you going to do with Ivy?”

From what I'm saying, is it okay to hide your protection?

Are you going to lock him up somewhere?

"If you don't have that look on your face, Ivy won't do anything."

I take my hand to Jinnal's word, and I take it to my face.

“It's not safe in the organization either.I swear to you, even if you protect me, you'll never be imprisoned because you have your environment in place. "

Even if Jinnal thinks so, he can't defy the organization's judgment.

I have to be careful.

Is there a traitor who can't be said to be safe?

"I'm sure there is." Because if you become a large organization, you will create a place where you can't see well. "

Well, I guess so.

And it shall be because of the treacherous, that he that gave the commandment was slain.

"I'll talk to Ivy."

"What? You're just making me nervous, aren't you?"

Ginar rises from his chair in a hurry.

It may certainly only give rise to anxiety.

But it's better to know than to be targeted.

Be cautious if you know you're being targeted.

There are things that can be prevented.

"Ivy is not just a protected child.I know how to protect myself, and I know how to fight. "

“Well, you should understand that you're being targeted.”

Ginar sits back in his chair and exhales for a long time.

From now on, I want you to go to Okanko Village with Garth and the others as planned.

"I'm not going to change that."

Ivy and I are getting ready for it.

"Thank you. When I go to the Okanko Village, I have a companion named Abar."Leave the Garths to Abal.And the day I deciphered the top of the paperwork, I told Galit to go to the King's City.If we go to King's Landing, we might be able to find out a little more about the keys.I'll tell Abal the results of the investigation, so he can tell me. "

What, are you already moving?

"Are you going to tell them on top of the organization?"

Well, I'll tell you what.

"No, I won't."

"... is that okay?"

Is that permissible?

"I told you that the organization is not safe, right?Besides, the people at the top said it was up to my judgment. "

"That's very trustworthy."

"Ahhhhh"

What, that disgusting look?

"Along with trust, you've got more troubles.So, is it good or bad? "

I laughed at Jinal's really tired expression.

For now, don't ask me to go to Okanko Village.

"All right."

Ivy is being targeted.

I'll tell Ciel and Sora.
