Chapter 16 Part1 (2/2)

[About that……]

Rafael was at a loss for words. Before he could ask questions, the boy disappeared. Before the latter used Teleportation magic, he said he had some errands to do, and he left after defeating the Elder Treant.

The achievements he had were tremendous.

When he appeared, the battle situation changed greatly, and he delivered the finis.h.i.+ng blow to the Elder Treant. He would surely be given a great reward if they knew where he was.

Rafael had already investigated him as he wanted to hear more from him. But.

[The name Chaos isn’t among the adventurers who partic.i.p.ated in this subjugation.]

His name was not amongst the adventurers in this subjugation. In order words, he came alone to that place.

[In other words, an adventurer who happened to know about this unknown monster, did not receive rewards and vanished into thin air…… Really, even if you want to make fun of us you should do it within bounds.]

Mocking laughter resounded all around Rafael.

The youth’s existence was truly questionable.

An Evil G.o.d that no one knew if it existed, and a mysterious person appearing, if one was to think about it normally, it was an absurd story that one would believe.

However, there was one who showed a different reaction from the rest.

[Sir Lilburn, do you recall the appearance of that boy?]

That person — King Wilfred displayed a complex expression and asked Rafael.

[…… Yes, a little….. He’s a young man in his mid-teens and he has the rarely seen black hair and black eyes.]

[Is that, so…..]

The king’s eyes were closed temporarily as he pondered. And as if he remembered something, he opened his eyes gently.

[Sir Lilburn.]

[Yes, Your Majesty.]

[The Elder Treant said something about ‘being sealed’?]

『Indeed. “While I was being sealed, these useless orcs stayed here and our strength is insufficient because of them.”』 (TL: If this is a quote, I’m not sure what I TLed the last time, cough, but I’m lazy to search the exact words, so I translated the thing again. Also, this is a THOUGHT quote.)

Rafael recalled on what he reported.

[Yes, there was something like that.]

[If that is the case, then there should be something that could come out if we investigate the past doc.u.ments. Immediately start investigating with this. And as a matter of a precaution, investigate the forest too. Also, find out who this Chaos person is.]

He gave instructions to one of the courtiers nearby.

[Sir Lilburn, until the veracity of this matter is confirmed, I will put you under house arrest.]

[…… Yes, Your Majesty.]

[We will confirm the details of the reorganization of the army in tomorrow’s meeting. Summarize the details of the damage and reorganization before then. We will adjourn here for the day.]

The courtiers nodded at King Wilfred’s words, and the latter hurriedly left the place. (TL: No idea why ‘hurriedly’ was used here. The LN version did not mention this adjective.)
