84 [2-18] Im dead and cherry blossom viewing is alco... (2/2)

”That's not what I meant.

Tracy flapped her apron dress in exasperation.

...... You can't give that body back to its rightful owner, can you?

Tracy's gaze is so-called, and it's blatantly accusatory.

Rene accepted the accusation with open arms. Tracy's feelings are legitimate. I don't respect that at all.

Not by conventional means. I'm too stimulating, and once I'm inside, I'll be defiled as a vessel for the soul. If I leave, I'll die of consumption.

I'm sure there's a way to deal with it, but it's not worth the cost.

If you'd just gone straight for the target, you wouldn't have had to use your body, would you?

It would have been tough to break into a place where a holy beast was already on the loose and secretly poison it.

Currently, there are about twenty Holy Beasts spaced at random intervals throughout the city of Teiracaines.

It is likely that the holy beasts, which are sensitive to evil spirits, are placed in a row so that they can detect anything that appears anywhere.

This would make it difficult for jack-o'-lanterns and other spirit-based undead to take us by surprise. I had the feeling that my opponent was thinking about how to fight the undead army, or that he was reading my moves. It's an unpleasant trend.

Anyway, the inn where Viscount MacGregor was staying (where several other knights were also staying) was one of the waiting places for the Holy Beast. Rene, who was scouting the area with his magic, saw a tiger-shaped Holy Beast sitting like a figurine in the garden and blew up.

He needed a shell of a person who had not yet become undead.

In the time between getting a new body and turning it into an undead one. Rene is able to blend in with the human race, almost completely cutting off all signs of evil. This is an ability that Rene had already possessed. Ordinary spirits and undead can't do such a perfect job of blocking out evil. If Rene's body were to be examined with magic, his true identity would be revealed.

I'm sure you could force your way through and kill him and escape, but ...... that would interfere with your work. If the knight is slaughtered, the enemy will be wary.

I'm sure you'll be able to find some good bait in this city (Teirakainen) of all places. I want to kill him secretly without leaving any traces of my activities so as not to interfere with intelligence activities.

So you want to kill the Viscount to make it look like he's sick?

Yes.

That's why you gave me his body?

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Time efficiency, safety, success rate. This is the method he chose to balance them all.

In other words, in order to efficiently carry out the revenge project, Rene used an unrelated person.

René is aware that this is a terrible thing. However, he no longer has any remorse in his conscience.

If he commits too many atrocities, he will be driven by fear, so he tries to avoid unnecessary killing.

I'd like to keep the number of people I kill like this to a minimum.

”I see. ......

Tracy just nodded her head as if forcibly breaking her neck.

...... I'm going to get started.

”Have a good day.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

”Am I somehow contributing to the destruction of the world?

Yeah.

”Mue ......

Tracy, wearing a mousy aura.

I felt a rain cloud over my head.

And it's a launching pad for the invasion. We've got a good story, and we can't afford not to use it. When I told Evelisse about the plan over the air, she said, ”That sounds like fun! ”Oh, that's right.

Yeah, that's it.

...... Yeah, I'm only partially on board with helping out there.

It was complicated.

From now on, Tracy will be correcting injustice and unreasonableness. That's why Tracy said she was willing.

But it will ultimately benefit Rene, in this case.

”Call me if you need anything. Especially if you need magic. I'll help you as long as I don't reveal myself.

”Okay.

Tracy waved over her shoulder and walked away.

Operation ...... has begun.
