Before Pavel could stop hiethe question
「……すっすいません、自分は、パヴエルです」
“… Please excuse my rudeness, my naawking at this superior specihts and corrected his posture
「……それと、こいつが、ラトランドです。口をやられてうまく喋れないのと、その、ちょっと頭がイカレちまったみたいで……」
“… And my partner here would be Ratrand Unfortunately, he is currently unable to speak as he had injured his mouth… ”
“Ah, yes I heard that in the report”
Danah retrieved a document from one of the desk drawers and proceeded to exa his beard
「たしか、タアフの村の近く、だったな。弓使いの男に奇襲されて、モリセット隊は壊滅、モリセットの野郎も死亡、と……」
“So that was near Tahfu village A single male archer attacked and destroyed the team you were part of, and that bastard killed Morrisette too… ”
“That would be accurate”
“Tell me the details”
Inti, Pavelwhat had happened He recounted how they attacked a couple of travelers, but had failed to take theot ambushed later at their own ca questions, and others, taking notes on a piece of paper
「なるほど、な……モリセットの最期はどうだった？」
“I see… Hoere Morrisette’s last moments?”
“I’m sorry I had fainted, and didn’t witness it”
「……そうか、ならいい。気にするな」
“… Ah, don’t etic after he saw a fleeting look of disappointment flash across Danah’s face
「……そして、これが、」
“However, I do have so to dispel the aardness It was an elongated object covered with a black cloth Gingerly, Pavel set it on the desk
Danah reached out and in a fluida dull silver blade
―― It was a dagger, dirtied with blood
「ハウンドウルフに刺さってたんで、多分、襲撃者の所持品かと……。逃げる途中で見つけたんで、回収しておきました」
“It was stuck in one of our Hound Wolves, likely the possession of the attacker I found it while I was escaping”
「……うむ。でかした」
“… I see”
Danah held the dagger so that it caught the sunlight co in from theWhen he dexterously ertips, Pavel could hear the whistling sound it h the air
Danah silently played with the dagger in his hand for a bit longer before raising his head to face Pavel again
“Pavel, do you anything about ic?”
「えっ？ ……いえ、ありません。精霊語で精霊にお願いして、奇跡が起こせるってこと以外は、特に……」
“Eh? No, not really All I know is that you can ask the spirits in their language to create a miracle… ”
“Ah Also, had Morrisette instructed you to search the enemy for possessions?”
“Yes, the captain always told us we ood work”
Atthe conversation, Danah had a mysterious look on his face, as if he was he was in deep contemplation
“―― Okay, that’ll be all Thank you for your trouble reporting”
Danah stood up and clapped his hands Immediately, the door to the room opened, and two maids, dressed in the same shade of black as the men from before, entered
“Take theuy over there has an injured mouth, so be mindful of that
“Yes, Danah-sama”
The maids bowed respectfully and escorted the Pavel and Rat out of the room with a courteous, “this way please”

(ED Note: line accounted for already)
At that, Pavel gave in and boith a confused expression He and Rat were then escorted out of the room by the maids
After the door closed, only Danah and a pair of glea red eyes remained in the room
Danah collapsed into the chair and threw his boots up on the office desk
「……どう思う、親・父・？」
“What do you think, father?”
Danah announced, seely to no one in particular
“Caaw!”
A cry answered Danah fro itself and didn’t appreciate being interrupted
“Father, don’t make fun of me”
“Caaw! Caaw! Caaw! cawkoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoooo!
The cries gradually gradually warped from an avian call to a humanoid imitation
「……そうさの。かッかッ、まぁ、只者ではあるまいて」
“… Quit playing around You haven’t gone deaf and senile yet”
With a fluttering of its wings, the bird and flew fro its piercing red eyes on Danah

Except for its red eyes that burned with a silent fury, it looked just like a nor in a clear, full voice as if it were thein the world
「凡人ならば、モリセットの坊主に、奇襲された時点で『詰み』じゃろう。それをいなし、逆襲を仕掛け、なおかつ十人の隊を壊滅させたとなると……その力量を疑う余地はあるまい。問題はむしろ、」
