The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 111 (1/2)
“We thank you for , Periveil-dono,” said a man as he politely bowed his head
This er from the resistance, but the leader of the Reborn Sauron Duchy Arers
He had a well-featured face that seeitimate son of Duke Sauron who had fallen in battle, and ance about him
On previous occasions, there had been no s hi been captivated
“It’s no great matter; it’s a ti our rice, and a season where we don’t do any hunting There is still some time before the festival of Vida and Merrebeveil Everyone is surprisingly unoccupied However, the fact that the leader is here means that this is no trivialhuman was no ordinary person
Raynity of one who stood above others that ree with everything he said, though it wasn’t as strong as Vandalieu’s
Ray He possessed so that made others believe that
“Indeed, I don’t et to the matter at hand… but before that, just who are they?” Raymond asked with a confused expression
He was looking at Pauvina, as sitting next to Privel, and Vandalieu, as sitting in front of Pauvina
The people present here were thePeriveil, their husbands, Raymond and two other members of the Reborn Sauron Duchy Army
And then there was Privel, Pauvina and Vandalieu Naturally, the three of them were out of place… or rather, Pauvina stood out tremendously
Despite that, the Scylla were focused not on Pauvina, but on Vandalieu, who, in Raymond’s eyes, appeared to be an exquisite doll of undeterender
Raye sense of discoestured to the was out of the ordinary
“Come to think of it, this is the first time you’ve est daughter”
“My name is Privel Nice to meet you”
“The pleasure is aze shi+fted upwards from Vandalieu to Privel “And what about the one next to her, this –” He faltered as he wondered how he should refer to the enormous Pauvina
Considering her size, even if she was a titan, she should have been an adult But considering her face and the size proportions of her head and body, she appeared to be a girl of around ten years of age
“Nice to er sister”
“My name is Vandalieu I am Pauvina’s older brother”
“I-I see Nice to meet you”
Ray Pauvina’s voice sounded for her size, and the fact that Vandalieu, whom he had overlooked for the previously-mentioned reasons, had spoken at all
However, even after the pleasantries had been exchanged, thehere had not been solved
“Vandalieu-kun here is still s us investigate thean explanation that cleared this mystery completely
“That is… a onthe assistance of a Spiritualist is reassuring And for you to possess a Job as rare as the Spiritualist Job at such an age, you enius I am quite envious”
The Spiritualist Job was said to require talent from birth in order to acquire, and it was very powerful for use in solvingunnatural about so present here, even if he was a child
But Raymond continued to say, “However, there are very, very feho have the ability to acquire the Spiritualist Job I do not think that you would lie, but I cannot believe you right away”
“I think that is reasonable,” said Vandalieu
He had only ever ine that there were nefarious i that they were Spiritualists who could see spirits
And given Vandalieu’s appearance, even with Periveil’s introduction, Ray able to believe that he was a Spiritualist right away
“Now then, I will show you proof that I am a Spiritualist,” said Vandalieu
“Will you be showing us your Guild Card?” Raymond asked “I do not think that there would be any branches that would issue them in this territory –”
“No, more concrete proof than that,” Vandalieu replied “Visualization”
And then, in front of Vandalieu… or rather, by his side, Orbia’s spirit appeared
“A Ghost?!”
“Leader, please step back!”
Rayht of Orbia’s now-visible spirit, but Raymond held up a hand
“Calm yourselves,” he said, and then he turned to Orbia “Are you a spirit of one of the victims?”
“It’slike this,” said Orbia “Leader-san I’o today”
“Nice to e to say that, I suppose,” said Raymond “To think that the Spiritualist Job can show spirits to others using a skill… no, is it a spell? In any case, I am surprised that such a method exists”
“I was surprised, too,” said Orbia “So… has there been anything out of the ordinary lately? Like so cut off from them…”
“… No, I haven’t really heard any reports of that sort Does this have so to do with the incidents?” Raymond asked
“Yeah, but if there hasn’t been anything, then it’s fine”
Orbia seemed relieved, but Raymond had suddenly turned pale He remained calm on the surface, but Orbia’s question had clearly unsettled him
“Orbia-san doesn’t re about when she died other than the fact that the present she received fro, so she doesn’t knohat the criminal looks like,” said Privel “That’s e’ve decided that Van-kun should coes to find the spirits of the other victims”
“That’s why this case will be solved soon,” Periveil added “I’m sorry to have caused concern for you people who have come from outside”
“That is reassuring to hear As fellow believers of Vida, I wish for this case to be solved as quickly as possible,” said Raymond “Now then, our business is –”
As the leader of the Reborn Sauron Duchy Ar Periveil and the other Scylla to refuse the peace plan offered by the Empire’s army
The A its national God, would definitely not leave the Scylla race alone; it would certainly betray the Scylla one day The Scylla should form an alliance with the resistance while they still had the chance, join up with the Orbauether Ray this
Rayument had some persuasiveness to it This was not only due to his charis that he was actually in contact with people in the Orbau him
There were a few holes in his speech, but this was likely because he had intended to bla case
“I understand what you want to say But these are things that involve everyone in our territory I’ that I can decide onan immediate reply
“Of course But I have heard that the chiefs of all of the villages will be gathering for the winter birth festival If you could discuss our proposal at that tih,” said Ray on this matter
It was likely that he planned to visit the other villages to persuade the other chiefs in the same way before the winter birth festival came
It’s siht
“Now then, excusetime for us today” Ray Periveil’s offer of a meal
The Ghosts stationed outside watched Raye
Meanwhile, Vandalieu and the others gathered in the center of the roos
“Aren’t Raymond and his men innocent after all?” Periveil
“Yeah, I tried to lead hi, but he didn’t fall for it,” said Privel “I suppose he really doesn’t know?”
“But Raymond-san was definitely unsettled!” said Princess Levia
“He was? You’re quite perceptive, aren’t you, Princess Levia?” Vandalieu remarked
“Van, you have to look at people’s faces properly,” said Pauvina
“He was definitely unsettled, but I’m sure that’s because of me,” said Orbia “I mean, I’m a spirit, so I’m sure he was scared Yes, that must be it”
“That’s definitely not it,” everyone said in unison
“You didn’t have to all say it together!” Orbia said indignantly
It was possible that the criminal was a member of the resistance Vandalieu had already mentioned this to Privel, Orbia and the others
The Scylla had known Raymond and the Reborn Sauron Duchy Army for over a year Nor theht away, but…
“I had a dreaht It was surprising, but it seems that we should believe Vandalieu-kun?” Periveil had said
“Me too! I got some kind of protection like you, Mother, and apparently I should stick to Van-kun in return!”
“Me too, ot a divine protection and I seeration Even spirits can receive divine protections, huh?”
“Thank you, Merrebeveil,” Vandalieu murmured
It seemed that Merrebeveil had made immediate efforts Now that she didn’t need to suppress the Dements, she had been able to use some of her powers
As a result of Vandalieu acquiring the Tentacle King title, the other Scylla could also feel an ih they had already felt these to some extent before because of the ‘Holy Son of Vida’ title and the Insect User Job), so they had become unable to completely deny his words
But it wasn’t as if they had been brainwashed, nor had their previousthe way Ray his words directly made it seem impossible to believe that he was involved in such a fiendish murder case
In fact, Ray slip with the trap that Privel had set in her words
It was typical for the cri slip in mystery works
“But he knows so about the incidents,” said Vandalieu
“Have you noticed so, Your Majesty?!” Princess Levia said in shock
“Van, are you feeling alright?!” asked Pauvina
“… You don’t have to be so surprised,” said Vandalieu “First, Ray his speech It’s a significant case, so if he believed that the cri his men, it would have been fine to mention it, even if we have already come up ays to solve it Also, I felt his intent to kill me”
Danger Sense: Death, which detected any risk of dying, was constantly active Even while Vandalieu was listening to a hollow-sounding speech
Life is full of the unexpected, thought the ‘Liberating Princess Knight’ Iris Bearheart, the leader of the Sauron Liberation Front
“Get back, you bastards! Or you will never have this body!” she shouted
It was unexpected enough that sohter of a hueous title like ‘Princess Knight,’ but she would never have expected that she would end upa threat like this
“da such a foolish threat!”
“Don’t provoke her, you idiot! What’ll you do if so really happens to her body?!”
“Please calht-san Let’s talk; at this rate, you won’t be able to save any of your subordinates, either”
Iris was holding a teaspoon-sized knife to her own throat She was surrounded by over a dozen retreating, flustered people dressed entirely in black Iris’s co at their feet, covered in blood There were two un ones that had been burnt co from them
Yesterday, Iris and herhis illegal slaves out of the country, and sheltered the enslaved people at their base to allow them to rest
And then they had been attacked by these people ere covered in black clothing These people had broken through the guards with force, and several of them had flown in from the sky
At first, everyone thought that these were the companions of the slave trader that had been killed yesterday, or assassins sent by a cri business with
But they had ignored the former slaves that Iris had i Debis, the one who had personally killed the slaveto finish him off
And although they possessed the skill to defeat Iris’s coely became worse as they faced Iris
Debis had then seen an opportunity and slashed at one of black figures, who began screah the wooden door that they had broken And then Iris had intuitively realized: These were Vampires, and they were after her body
“Let’s see, at this rate, you people will be taking a few charred re his wrath, and then he will purge the lot of you, I suppose? Do you knohat effect this Chastity Protector has?” Iris asked them
The blade that was barely large enough to even be called a dagger, the one Iris was pressing against her own neck, was a Magic Item known as a Chastity Protector
