Chapter 19
The lared at Flamm who abruptly jumped into the conversation
Why would soo out of her way to listen to his conversation?
Though surprisingly, he saw Iira holding onto the girls’ shoulder
“Isn’t it okay? Ileft out by those guys ent to the church”
Flaht towards Iira, but the azes met, she scoffed and turned away at once
Apparently Iira was moved by their similar distaste toward Dain
“Well that’s true, but…”
The man looked at Flamm in the face as he thinks, but at last, he suy we sent to threaten the h they failed and turned into a believer insteadThey suck”, said Iira as if spitting out those words
It would seem like she really didn’t like their behavior
“I accidentally heard about Phil, but he was killed in a way that he turned into so that you can’t call a hu that looked like a beast, didn’t you”
“YeahHe grew some limbs and heads and his body swelled—rumors has it that countless eyeballs went into his body and then it started turning weirdI didn’t think it was true since it sounded too absurd, but now that I saw a corpse like that, I think I could believe it’s true now…”
“Countless eyeballs and growing lirotesqueness different than that of the spiral-faced beast in the research facility
But the fact that it happened to soe possibility that it’s an extension of the same research
Ten years has passed; it wouldn’t be strange if the shape the result of the research had changed
“Did they…did they continue their research in the capital…?”
“Do you know so?”
To Flamm’s unintentionalthat there’s an eighty or ninety percent chance that it’s the church’s doing”
Flamm only had a basis that could lead to her belief
She knew about the existence of the research facility, but whether it’s done by someone that has connections with the church is only a conjecture
“But Phil’s case didn’t go as far as to htIf it did, the news about such strange corpse would have reached e ruckus now?”
The man shook his head to Flamm’s question
“I don’t know that muchProbably because there’s a lot of it and it’s not hidden well since it’s found in a place with lots of pedestrian traffic”
“But then again, why did they get him at such a public place”
It’s unusually sloppy method for the church that wants to conceal their research
Even if they meant it as an experiment, one would think that they would’ve done itto where he is?”
She can’t start if she can’t see the body herself
The man unenthusiastically nodded and led the way
For souild unattended, but perhaps she didn’t think it matters since Dain and his boys are absent
In the end, she’s still as careless as always
The scene of the cri with curious onlookers, so even getting into a place where you can see the scene of the crih the crowd, a rotten sh…it stinks…This isn’t just because it’s the sluht her hand to cover herattention to what people around her think
The public hygiene of this place had been bad fro, but it doesn’t see that stinks in that place
As they reached the forefront of the crowd, not only does the stench intensified greatly, an unied before their eyes
“Geh…what the hell is that”
“That’s not hu about earlier but…unbelievable, isn’t it”
Several lu out of it were scattered around the street like grotesque objects of art
Advertise as if they’re alive
Which begs the question again; are they really corpses?
Even the guards that received the reports scratched their heads in confusion
The three was stunned by the sight, but a soldier co from behind them covered the lumps of flesh with cloths they pulled out from somewhere
Perhaps it was a decision to contain the situation, and without a doubt, it was an excellent decision
After all, it’s a sight too shocking for an ordinary citizen
“U…guh…”
There were no shortage of people who closed their mouths due to nausea just like Iira did
“Try not to throw up here, will you?” Flamm said, not because she orried
“…how can you be so cal at this”
“I’m still an adventurer after all”
“Can you even use that as an excuse? Uugh…”
It seenaled the h the crowds and exited the area
They stopped in a place where there were less people around
The expression of the three was dark, all for a different reasons
Perhaps because they went into a road where sunlight is sparse, the place felt even unnecessarily darker
“I don’t get itPhil was turned into such a shape like a monster but Dain-san went to the church instead…are we really going to be okay following hi to expand his influence to keep his power in the West District
Not only auild, and there were many merchants that they had established connections with
People look up to hiress, thus histhat only he enjoys, and sharing those benefits is perhaps a part of his intellectual leadershi+p
But that is not so that he can enjoy forever
Just like now; if there is another party with a stronger influence, it would s them up and dissolve their cohesiveness
Their development would stop, and if they betray the public expectation, they would collapse
And Dain is not stupid; he understands this himself
“Maybe they’ll turn into et that it’s scary, so I get why you’ll want to obey soainst the church ht have been an uphill battle…but it’s precisely because of that illogical plan that we’re here! Don’t they know that if we give up here our dreaonna be over just like that!?”
“Isn’t it clear that it’s over? Dain values his life sowith the other guys tooNo matter how important you can think of his dreams is, his life is more important in the end”, Iira said with a cold tone
That’s what is normal for anyone
But did they not follow Dain because he was not norreatest charm, one that made people admire him spontaneously
Flamm herself didn’t approve of Dain’swell
“I think it’s best to get out of the West district if you’re at loss of what to doWe won’t know if those eyeballs are going to coht…I think it’s best to wait out until the chaos caluess I’ll take some distance away from Dain tooI don’t want to accidentally kick the hornet’s nest and turn into that hideous monster”
It was a wise choice from Iira
Meanwhile, Flamm wasn’t such an outlaw that she would harm those ants to distance thereeable they are
However, if they are pulling any ainst her or the people around her, she wouldn’t hesitate to unsheathe her sword
Afterwards, Flauild, and she headed for her own home
As Flamm opened the door and exclai “welcome back”
It would see room, while Eterna is in her roohtly run up to her and welcomed her back, but Flamm understood why she didn’t the htly lonely
Ink was sitting on her laps, so she was unable to stand up
“Welcoize that I wasn’t able to welcoetically as she saw FlahtSo uh, what are you doing there?”
Flamm pointed at the wooden parts scattered on top of the table
Laid in front of the of a wooden frame and several parts inserted into it
“Puzzle~!” answered Ink innocently
That’s rightFor the blind girl, a puzzle is truly so that she can still play with
But it’s so before
“Eternsan had took out everything she could find inside this house, and she said Ink-san could enjoy this”
“Hee…She found so on the seat across Milkit and Ink
She knew that there were things left behind by the house’s previous owner in the storage rooh since it was filled with old items that are full of dust, they haven’t had the chance to look through them
However, it seeed to spend soh them
“What about those?” Flamm pointed at the ht that it was also an iteleo, but playing with it too long would bore her after all”
“Milkit is awesome you know! I had no idea what to do, but she could solve it quickly when I gave it to her!”
“Hee, you’re really good with your hands, aren’t you?”
“F-Far fro as you kno to do it, then it should be easy to solveI have played with this before after all”
Despite her humility, it ell known fact that her hands are dexterous
Her way of handling the kitchen knife is nothing short of nificent that one could think that she usually works as a chef
Not to mention, she could coht her very quickly
Her looks and her personality were perfect, and she was also briirl was oppressed until recently
Though since the person behind that irritation is not within her ar a resentained co of which, Sarah hasn’t come over yet, huh”
The house felt silent without everyone’s little boisterous nun
“Is she not supposed to come before dinner tie inforh”
“Ahaha, but I am really happy when she comes…which means, I’m rather upset with her now”
“Isn’t it difficult for you that you have to make a lot of food?”
“Of course notRather, I a the food I madeThe more the merrier”
It’s a textbook answer of a perfect housewife
Without a doubt, she is probably hiding an extreht her out of that cage with ht from the bottom of her heart
“Hey Flamm, if by any chance it turned out that I really ran away from the church in the West District, do I have to return as soon as possible?”
Ink as listening to the two’s exchange asked in a depressed tone
She must’ve had a reason for why she ran away fro to be worried about you?”
