Volume 2 Chapter 7 (1/2)

Night of Entreaty

Getting here, took a long long time

And fro downhill

The feelings in the sigh I let out, had no strength in them at all

Leaking of infor of duicians

In the end, testing of military weapons in battle

The only reason I have not exposed the uncountable number of crimes, is that there were too many hidden backers

Even if I arrest them, expose them, assassinate the

And when I continued patiently searching for the root of it all———I reached an unexpected person

I do not know if the setting was like that froe in characters due to fate speeding up

Either way, the results are different from what I remember

So I had kept searching for a side character I did not know about

And

“Foolish, Count Hedrix”

Theon the floor quietly looked up at ‘Origa’

Seeing as if he looks slightly absent-ht that in my heart, but there is no particular need to confirm that

Since every person in this estate has been put to sleep with drugs, even if the count was acting and was looking for a chance to call for help, none would come

The bookshelf that started burning a little behind me released a burnt smell

The copper hair reflected in the full-length ainst the as illuminated by the fire and its colour stood out

Child of fire, Lady of the inferno, an appearance worthy of those nae

I had been in a slight rush since it would not be long before I caught up in age to the ‘Origa’ I had seenthat I could deal with this man before that

“The Count was slack in dealing with fire and the whole estate burned late at night Regretfully, everyone as in the estate was caught in the blaze ……that report will reach the capital tomorrow”

Crackling, the fla the roo

There was also the choice of using ic to burn the estate all at once, but since there’s no resistance, there is no need to forcefully burn it down

There is the ti burns down naturally and not a single person inside survives———but that cannot be helped

If there is no trace that a’ i that the count’s household died in a fire

There soft-hearted and direct friend would probably suspect it, but he won’t have any proof

“Now then, it will take a while until the fire spreads through the building, until then, since I have ti……ah, you cannot speak like this Please wait a little”

After I untied the leather strap, he coughed a little but obediently re on the floor

Magic aside, it is a commonly known fact that I have barely learnt any martial arts

Even if he is affected by the drug, is a renowned soldier like hiirl?

As I thought, thisme from the start?

The Count looked around the rooh

“………”

“Do you have so you want to ask? Since it is your last chance, I will answer anything”

“Drugged The people in the estate”

“It was a sleeping drug Since it was not poison, they should all die in their sleep without suffering”

“I see”

Seeing the Count let out a breath as if he had given up, but was also relieved, I felt suspicious

I do not kno many were involved with his actions

That is why, I dealt with all that had contact with him

Men, wouards, even an infant with no sense of self

Even though I had said that I had no intention of letting a single one of them leave the estate alive, the count was too calm

“Why did you knoasthat would serve as proof”

“……unnaturally so But, because there was no definite evidence, I chose the option to burn”

The proof that Keika finally found after a year was clearly insufficient and would be crushed if brought out in public

The roots are too deep and neither ht it

Since if it was known that I found the count that is only a branch, the faint amount of evidence around him would be hidden immediately

Then I ht as well burn it all

“Next, a question from me Why did you let me catch your tail?”

“If you truly wanted to hide, there was no way I could find you I do not know the reason you, who is skilled with information, invited me here”

He should have known that if I found hiht now

When I investigated him, I immediately found out that he is a man that loves his family

I cannot understand why such a man would put his and his family’s life on the line not to draw me into a trap, but to just lure me out

Was he cut off? Or does he want to make a deal?

Nowill happen if I do not listen to what he has to say

‘Can you tellhis silence for a while, his low voice echoed through the room

“All for the country”

In the eyes of the aze, was resolve

“Because there are ‘ic And everyone rejects progress”

He has said that the cause is ‘Origa’

The ift, the protector of the country

And that person, I, a the development of the country

“Look at the other countries The continue studying and developing to y Then what about our country Restrained by bloodlines, rejecting growth, declining It’s fine since you are here now, but if you fall then our country will be ruined… considering that, I moved to eliminate you”

“To obtain the future?”

I do not feel like denying that thinking

This country is coic and develops too slowly, it cannot catch up to the technology of the surrounding countries

In a situation where the country’s econoic, with the decline of the ician bloodlines, it is clear that ruin awaits in the future

For those that consider that future in that situation, a gifted child ofbut an obstruction

Those that rely on a sy, excludes other opinions and give up on growth

Considering the fact that the total nu the best fire ician, this country only has a future of decline

Actions with that in mind———even if, that is only on the surface, there would be many ould sympathize

“I had thought you were surely part of the rejection faction though, but fro”

“……no I hate ht in their heart Magicians are,”

Thinking about the next words that were cut off as he choked on the smoke, a smile spilled from my warped lips

‘Magicians are not human’

I have already understood that that is the recognition ofaround the world

Creatures that are different existences fro power

The growing trend of re the

I do not knohen or who ht somewhere in their heart

That is exactly why

“That really was not a plan that could be started by the intentions of one or two people”

While a soldier kills one, a ician kills ten

But without ic, their body is exactly the same as a normal human’s

If cut down, they will easily die

The developicians is not possible without the cooperation of this country that knows all aboutto shi+ft towards the inclination to eliicians

Yes, this is not just about the extre of classified information by an aristocrat

“That icians powerless It looks like it is still at an experimental phase, but plans to put it into use have been made”

“……yeah There were many times you fell into a situation where you had to release your fire with your full strength There was no lack of opportunities to improve it”

In these few years

Every tiicians sacrificed increases

Even if I h the situation, the difficulty keeps increasing at yet another battlefield

And weapons thatto spread through the battlefield———in the past three years, the situation has got to a point where even inter to become ineffective

“I siicians is an act of sanity though———his majesty must really hate us”

“Well, that does not h”

The increase in developer sister’s, mother’s death, was just too obvious
