Chapter 53 (2/2)
“What, whatto ask of me……?”
For the first tiht at Eduart’s eyes
Eduart also stared right back at Louis’ teary eyes
“There was a man
He was on the sarade as me, but he was not very friendly
I hate that guy, and that guy should also hate me
If he was asked of what he knows, he would hardly tell the truth”
Louis listened to the words of Eduart without interrupting the story
Elric’s expression became dark as he looked down
“But, there is so definite”
“What is it?”
“He was never a man who takes care of his family
Further that shouldn’t be possible
Even if it contained infants in it”
“Massacre……that, perhaps, you’re referring to the incident of Lucanrant last year, that incident?”
Towards Louis’ question, Eduart confirmed it
“I didn’t knohere he is And I didn’t knohether he is alive or dead
But, Louis, you are still here and alive”
“Eduart……”
“To be honest, I despise you In particular, I still hold grudge about Erica’s incident
However, you shouldn’t be such a tragic person
There should be soe of your ambitiousness and patriotism
Tell me about the one who incited you
It’s not too late yet
If it’s not too late, I’d like you to return to this side”
Eduart stood before Louis as on his knees and lowered his back
When they were facing each other at the same eye level across the iron bars, Eduart offered his hand
Louis tried to grab the offered hand with his tre hand
“Eduart……please……, please help me……help me……”
On the verge of touching hands, Louis hand dropped suddenly
Louis stood up in a wobblypulled up by invisible threads
“Just kidding~”
A vacant smile showed on Louis’ face
At the sudden change, Eduart and the other two had a wand each at the ready
“Eduart Aurelia, your delusion is also large, huh
Help me
Nevertheless, at the end you were persuaded by my sob story
Such a cheap play, it will not be popular even in the theater for general public these days”
Louis spread his hands next to his face, and swung his body in a dancing-like -like movements that made him appear like a jester
His expression still reid in the shape of a ss
“Oi, Eduart, this is—”
“Klaus-kun, is this a mental manipulation?”
“No Neither Glaht nor analytical Dweomer reacts
The other sensing spells are the same
There is no ic that we had cast”
After he exclaimed that, Klaus put in additional spell cards
A nu spells were expanded and a more detailed analysis would be added
However, all of them showed that Louis had not received any mental manipulation
“Hahaha Of course
Did you think that I was a poor victi manipulated by someone?
That’s why, please help me
What a foolish bunch
Everything is done by my oill”
“Louis, you sound as if there are tills mixed with each other”
“H about?
I was just speaking norh?
Please help me”
“Elric, it may be useless, but just in case, please make a Protective Circle”
“U-understood……!”
Elric cast spells and expanded spell cards to surround Louis
However, Klaus looked at it and raised a voice to stop him
“No! Don’t use that spell!
Replace the control of the sensing ic, Actorius!”
“Y-yes……!”
Elric abandoned the spell that he was casting, and recast the sensing ic
The perforic switched to Elric
After this, the accuracy of the observation result slightly decreased
Klaus deployed a Protective Circle that differs in detail from Elric’s on the whole room
Louis was looking at the three of the
“Tch! Is it really not mental manipulation?”
“What if we use a spell of mental defense specialization……no, Klaus-kun, continue this way
Even if only to prevent mental manipulations after this, this is sufficient”
“As expected, Harvan’s noble son What an excellent child
There is no mental manipulation involved in this, I knew this better than anyone else
Help me
You are the purest one, the one with the aps
If there is no scary guardian, I will strike you Help
Like what I did to Auguste, I will take my time and torment you little by little”
“You bastard……!”
In response to Klaus’ anger, the ical power supplied to the Protective Circle temporarily increased
Surplus ical power overflowed from the spell cards, it beca
Klaus concentrated his consciousness to supress his eic
“Things like legitimacy comes later
It was not because the Founder King Guillau
It was because he was a conqueror, that there is the legend that he was chosen by God
I am the same Someone
After I becaend like that
No shi+p was, it’s fine as long as I win”
“You will sell your own country to the eneantia?”
“That’s right Help
To begin with, even today’s Ignitia is allying with enemy countries
Help me, h e l
The barbarians of Lucanrant, the exclusionism of Harvan
And the country of madmen, Aurelia”
Klaus noticed so and trembled
Several factors, including fear and distress, a the recorded Louis’ emotional components, had disappeared at some point
“Good job interfering with my plan, Eduart
But, you know that clashi+ng with me is a mistake on your part”
Louis lifted his right hand and pointed his finger at Eduart
“I will predict it, Eduart Aurelia
Six years after this, your sister—Erica Aurelia will have a horrid death more than anyone else
At that time, you will be the same as me”
Louis showed a particularly distorted smile
Suddenly, power faded out of Louis’ body and he fell to the floor
Observation results showed that Louis was completely unconscious
“Elric, summon Charles and a doctor!
Klaus-kun, cast a powerful dispeller that you know!”
Eduart barked out his orders
The other two started to move with a snap
Almost at the same time with Elric ran to the door, Eduart also destroyed the iron bars with Disintegrate
Klaus used Break Enchante in Louis
Because Elric had left, the observation by sensing ic had stopped
The Ignitia’s secretary entered in exchange for Elric
Eduart extracted
While briefly explaining the situation to the secretary, Eduart examined Louis
Klaus used Arcane Disjunction
It beca stopped

Place: Karkinos · Ignitia’s territory 〈City of Reconquest〉, Margrave Ode-Ignitia’s residence
Klaus Harvan was sitting in a simple, small room
Eduart Aurelia entered the room and locked the door
Eduart took a seat in front of Klaus across the table
“What Eduart, are you also going to record my testimony?”
“Just to be sure I don’t doubt you”
“What about……well, I don’t mind which one it was
To be honest, I don’t know exactly who I meant”
Klaus shook his head
Deep wrinkles were engraved between his eyebrows
“Klaus-kun I think that it was a much too severe incident for you who is only a 10-years-old to be involved with……”
“While you were talking with Actorius, I have calmed down a bit
Your concern is unappreciated To begin with, it feels unpleasant that you are being thoughtful to me”
“That’s it, I’m hurt
……Now then, from your perception, hoas Louis like?”
“It is as the recording footage said I don’t know anything except that”
“I want a frank opinion about what you think
Perhaps, you ht be aware of what I overlooked
If not, then it is still anize known information”
Eduart put a sealed aical characters that looked like a live charcoal—a Historia Electrum on the table
Klaus looked into the amber for a while and checked the recorded information
“As expected, there is no trace that he was being ic”
“Other than that?”
“The guy whoevil-like personality”
“What is your basis to think so?”
Klaus presented the information recorded
the information recorded in the amber to Eduart
“Soer than ordinary humans
Fro, they should have been almost the same condition as in normal times”
“What kind of emotions were they?”
“Love, nostalgia, loneliness, regret, and sorrow
It is similar to the pattern immediately after the death of a close relative
Considering what Louis did, I also feel that the story didn’t mesh well”
“It is a sufficient trigger for a person to break alone”
Klaus thought deeply at the words of Eduart
Eduart finished checking the record and handed the aain
Klausthe amber in his hand
“When did Louis’ parents died?”
“It was four years ago Both of them at once
It was an unfortunate accident
Charles and Louis wouldn’t have been prepared to do anything”
“……I see”
Klaus and Eduart fell silent
After a while, Klaus opened his
“However, as four years already passed……”
“Is it unnatural?”
“……How should I know? I have never lost my immediate family
I merely know about the mental state that can be derived from the combination of the emotional components from a lecture
I don’t know anything about raw eic”
Klaus cut his words and looked at the palm of his hand
“No, there was a ht that I have lost an important person
Although that person was barely saved at the last minute
If I had lost that person, I—”
Klaus looked at Eduart
“Right, didn’t Louis say so similar?”
“The prediction……huh……”
“Is Erica okay?”
“If Louis really had sonition ability, it seems to fluctuate so as not let us pick his mistake”
“That’s true, but……”
Klaus seeony
Eduart looked at Klaus and shrugged his shoulders
“To tell the truth, I cannot keep my composure either
When I heard Louis’ words, I was very frightened that I felt like all the blood in my whole body froze”
“Even you felt like that, huh”
“Hahaha, Klaus-kun, what do you think I am?”
Klaus kept silent while supporting a dark expression
“I am the weak one in my heart
For this reason, I can iine how Louis was corrupted
‘If I were Louis, what is thefor me?’
And at the same time, ‘ould I do if I my mind broke?’”
“Wait From the way you said it, it sounds as if Louis’ circumstances were set up by someone”
“Aah, I believe that it was coed
Charles as on bad terraduated from the school and returned to his home
The death of his parents that occurred shortly thereafter, the inheritance of Charles
It was at the sauste were supposed to hatch
At this ti, if one or two uncertain factors occurred at the same time……”
The smile disappeared from Eduart’s face and he turned serious
Klaus caught Eduart’s challenging gaze head on
“You, do you laugh when you did too good?”
“I cannot laugh, I cannot laugh at all
With someone who had corrupt and kill others is on the loose
……I could have lost my sister at a critical time”
“That’s right Everyone can be in the same position as Louis
Just a few ears will cause destiny to roll in a completely different direction”
Eduart finished his words
Klaus kept thinking silently
After a while, Klaus remembered the existence of amber in his hand and put it on the table
Eduart took the amber from the table and operated it
The playback of Historia Electrued to indicate sealing
Eduart put the amber, and took out two keys from his pocket and placed them in front of Klaus
“I’ on you, so I will entrust this to you”
“What are these keys?”
“The light of stars will gather in one place When all the lights have disappeared froht……maybe”
“Where is the place?”
“You will knohen the time comes”
“When?”
“For example, when I died and couldn’t protect Erica”
Klaus stood up kicking the chair
Eduart made an unfathomable smile on his face
“Eduart, you……!”
“It’s only in case of an eency I will not entrust my precious little sister so easily to you”
Eduart rose quietly and turned his back to Klaus
“……Now then, I have kept talking with you this long
We have to consult with Sir Charles on how to deal with Louis who didn’t wake up like this”
“Wait, Eduart”
Eduart as stopped looked back at him
Klaus took out one envelope from the inner pocket of his robe
“Don’t say to anyone that I handed this to you
It is supposed to only be shown to the people of Harvan”
“What’s inside?”
“A copy of the spell that I found out when Louis fainted just now
I couldn’t see the ic that caused his coma
However, in case of ic, most of them could be analyzed
Look at the name of the performer”
Eduart opened the folded parchment and closed it immediately
“Cain Grendell……the na of Cascadia”
“Don’t say that nauarantee your life”
“Do you think it’s real?”
“Who knows Whether it’s genuine or fake, he was supposed to be killed and buried secretly”
“This, why me?”
“It’s not for your sake I just don’t want to see the sad face of Erica So, it’s for my own sake”
Eduart put the envelope in the inner pocket of his outer jacket carefully
“Thank you This will help”
“Be careful, Eduart
It see to his skills”
“Klaus-kun, you also need to be sufficiently careful
The curse on the necklace that lured you siblings to the extreerous place……the performer was also called Cain”
Klaus opened his eyes wide and glared at the void
The ed by his shaken emotion became a blue spark and scattered
“Thank you, Eduart For telling me this”
Eduart returned an icy sainst the invisible enemy
Eduart turned his heel and left the room
The Historia Electrum ended normally
