"Evasion... can you?

I'm worried about what your father said, too.

It's no good avoiding being involved while you don't know.

"Well, good luck"

Your father flaunted his shoulder when he saw Mr. Ginal smile bitterly.

"So, how did Ginal get here?

"That's why Ivy and the others are escorted."

"Even though those involved in the case said they almost secured it?

To your father's words, Mr. Ginal only stopped moving for a moment.

"That's all I said?

"Oh, that's what I heard"

To your father's words, Mr. Ginal drips.

"Bad. Looks a little tired. I almost secured it, but there's one important person on the loose. I'm a vigilante, but maybe they found out about the Druid, and that's why I'm here as an escort."

I only have a short time involved, but I know I'm not the kind of person who forgets important things.

Does that mean you're tired?

"Are you all right?

For some reason, Mr. Ginal, look at me still.

Leaning her neck, she strapped her shoulder to Mr. Ginal.

"Ivy, do you have any interesting skills or anything?

Interesting skills?

I don't know what that means, I see your father.

Your father, too, is shaking his head to the side.

"No, I don't have one. How so?

"I'm definitely tired, but I don't do anything to relax in my current state. Yet I forgot. Come to think of it, if it's in front of Ivy, it's going to relax somewhere, or calm down. No, I'm not blaming Ivy for my failure... what are you talking about, I... Bad."

Mr. Ginal leans his neck with his hands off his shoulders.

That really seems troubling and confusing to me, too.

"Tamer is my only skill."

"Right, bad. Maybe you're more tired than you think you are, huh? Really bad. With that said, how did you know about your skills?

I don't think there's any way to find out outside the church.

"I had it checked out at the church"

"Church? Does the Church know that maybe Ivy has no stars?

"Uh, yes. If you're from the church in the village of Latomi where I was born, you know."

With that said, what's going on with the village of Latomi?

After the villagers were captured, you never asked what the village was like.

"Ivy, don't blame the church guys and believe me. And the Druids."

The look on Mr. Ginal's face gets steeper and a little scary.

"I don't believe you, so no problem."

"What? Really?

With that said, your father never said anything about going to church.

Even though some adventurers wish you a safe journey.

"When I was a freshman adventurer, there was a lot going on. Since then, we've cut any relationship."

"But you had something to do with it to some extent, didn't you?

"Oh. You did have a little relationship. You got a problem with that?

"I do. It's information on the Druid that was said to be the guild's hidden balls. It's possible they were looking into it. If they find out you're involved in this case, they'll probably make contact."

"No way......"

"I have that 'no way'. Definitely ignore them even if they come in contact. We work as investigators, but we work in the back."

"Wait! That would be top secret."

"Yeah, but I don't think it's okay to be two people. I don't believe we're going to divulge any information."

Your father and I snort at Mr. Ginal's serious expression.

"Among the various pieces of information I learned in the back job were also many church-related and related things. Honestly, there was also enough information to distrust the royal family leaving the church. So I can tell you, don't get involved in the church. The people who belong there don't even think of people as people. If it's for our own good, they're the ones who kill the easy ones."

I didn't like it because it's where I was rejected myself, but it seems more dangerous than I imagined.

And I can't believe it's the "people who kill easy people".

"Okay."

Your father looked at me, so he nodded.

"Ginal"

"Hmm?"

"If the church were to target Ivy, do you think no stars would be the cause?

"Ah. I'm sorry to say this, but they're gathering the rare. It would be so rare to have no stars. You've always been safe."

Huh?

Was it that dangerous?

I've been trying to stay away since I was seen with contempt in the church, but I don't think I've ever been looked for.

"What happened to those who were gathered?

Mr. Ginal, who shakes his head sideways to your father's question.

"Unknown beyond that."

Well, I'm sure something bad is waiting for you.

Hmm?

Rare...... is that also a skill?

"Mr. Ginal. Even if you have rare skills, could you possibly be eye-catching?

Your father's skills are pretty rare, too, or he's going to definitely be used if he finds out.

"There will be. I've had a buzz with people working behind me wondering if what the church cares most about is their skills. Well, I don't know the truth."

When I look at your father, I look between my eyebrows and think of something.

Could it be something that comes to mind?

"Yes, did you find the previous Gilmouth?

Hmm? Previous Gilmouth?

Oh, you mean the case?

I suddenly changed my mind, so I didn't know.

"You suddenly changed your story. Well, fine. He wasn't in this village anymore. And then Tamer's Matori got him."

Tamer got caught.

In what Mr. Gilmouth said, it felt like he was with former Mr. Gilmouth, but how could he not run away?

"Looks like Matori's already in a crazy state"

Oh, you couldn't get away with it?

"Right. With that said, how'd it go with the three middle-aged adventurers in the letter?

"They're all ready to get caught, too, so it's okay. Looks like these three were either crazy Matori watchmen or caretakers. He was crazy to be alive because he had a caregiver."

A watchman? A caretaker?

He said those who went crazy in the magic formation would not go back to normal.

At the end of the day I heard that my body was weak and I would die.

Didn't you want Mr. Matori to die?

Were you even doing some important work?

Then why don't you activate the magic formation?

"... could that Tamer be..."

Your father sees Mr. Ginal clouding his words.

Mr. Ginal nodded with a strange look at the question.

What do you mean?

Is there anything important about Tamer's Mr. Matori?

She went crazy with the magic trick...

Oh, he said this village was definitely used to experiment with magic formations... that Mr. Matori was kept alive for experiments or something?

"Phew."

I want it off, but I feel like it's hitting me.

"Are you all right?

Your father looks at me worried.

"It's okay. I've been thinking a lot about it."

"Right."

Caress my head slowly, as your father's hands labor.

Plus, I just feel a little soothed.

"Thanks"

The reality of the church, the possibility of me being targeted... that's a lot of shock.

Besides, it feels like we solved the case, and we didn't.

But the case in this village is solved, right?

Hi, it's not refreshing.

"That's not refreshing."

"Right."

Father who agrees with my words.

With that said, a vigilante who might have noticed about your father escaped, didn't he?

I wonder what he's like.

"Um, Mr. Ginal. Do you know the name or look of the escaped vigilante?

I need to know what it looks like.

"His name is Chorsi. He's 31 years old, and he has a wife and a daughter."

You have a wife and a daughter?

How could someone like that do something that would betray the village?

"Looks like red brown short hair with light green eyes"

Thin green eyes on red tea hair.

"They have two moles at the base of the right thumb. I've never actually been in Chorsi either."

Two molluscs.

"Thank you"

"No, that doesn't seem very useful. I'll rendezvous with the captains later, so you should hear more. Well, it's best to be secured before then."

"Right."

"And then..., that's about it for now. The captain and Gilmouth said they would show their faces when they settled down. Perhaps this evening or maybe tomorrow."

The captain and Mr. Gilmouth seem busy.

From here, you can go see the two of us.

"Shall we go to the captains from us? Me and your father have plenty of time."

"No, let's stop that. Because some of the villagers might one day be connected to the church."

"I feel like it's already too late."

I can tell you that.

Frequently, Mr. Commander, you entered and left the house, didn't you?

"Ah, maybe. It would be like going to the captain's house now and announcing that he knows the case in detail. It's forbidden to enter except for those involved. Besides, before we search the village, we'll figure it out."

Will it?

Let's hope for the captains.
