Chapter 25 (1/2)
――The next
“Kyaaaa-!”
Because of the sudden scream, Julia-kaasan jumped up and rushed out of the room in a hurry
I also run after her hurriedly
When I caught up within front of a certain room
――Yes, it’s the room where the men in black were locked in
Mo in front of the room
When I tried to take a look inside,
“You ar-kun! …well, even if I say this now”
Mom moved to the side and let me look inside
Inside, the twofrom their mouths
“When I took off the muzzles from their mouths, suddenly…”
The pale-faced servant said
“……poison, perhaps Most likely it was hidden in theirlike that This trick is frequently used by professional assassins”
As expected of a former adventurer, mom is very calm
Just to be sure, I try using [Appraise] on them
《 Corpse〔of Ranzack〕 Cause of death: Poison (Tajicalis)》
《 Corpse〔of Elope〕 Cause of death: Poison (Tajicalis)》
“…tajicalis?”
Moht what I unintentionally said out loud
“Certainly, judging froar-kun, where did you learn about poisons?”
“Uhm, ah…… well, in the study”
“…hmm, where there any books on poisons there?”
Mom tilts her head
That hen the village chief arrived
After the village chief took a good look at the situation in the room, he deeply lowered his head towards mom
“I am terribly sorry To think ould simply let the perpetrators die…”
“It can’t be helped If you didn’t give them any food then that would certainly lead to their deaths anyway”
As I was listening to the two of the much attention, I recalled the [Appraise] results of the two from the day before from the [Database]

〈Yatagarasu〉
He said that lately, now that the civil war in Sonorato ended, they started to flow into Santamana
Why are they abducting people in a place like this?
The answer to that was not found in the end
All night last night, I looked back at the sequence of events that happened and realized so very important
And that is,
――There is at least 1 personthat should be here
and that’s the problem
Let’s look back at the incident starting fros
First, the e and the others
Next, one of the uises hie and spreads the ru children
This is probably a planned diversionary tactic
However, the men in black also carried out an unplanned diversion
The case where the woodcutter of Riverette Village was put under a spell
Most likely, the woodcutter came across the men in black in the forest
Perhaps he saw the place (cave) of thethat would be disastrous for them
That being said if they killed the woodcutter it could’ve become an uproar
That’s why, one of the men in black put a spell on the woodcutter and sent him back, and as a bonus made him claim that is was 「the work of fairies」
This diversion was most likely an unplanned accident
But, as a precaution against such accidents, they stationed a person in the hideout who could uselike that
That one person is nowhere to be seen
The tho killed themselves (Ranzack and Elope) did not have any skills that they could’ve used to put a spell on the woodcutter
They say, to influence the h level of ic skills are needed
Theplace, I confir them, had mostly the same Status as Elope
Also, about the 「traveler」 that stopped by the village, we confirmed it with the innkeeper that neither of the two men in black who committed suicide was him
There is a chance that one of theplace was the one, but there is a strong possibility that the e =「traveler」
Therefore, there has to be at least one more person
That means we let an associate of the men in black escape
No, if we are talking possibilities, then it’s still possible that they had even e and weren’t at the cave at that time
If that’s the case, then it really hurts that we couldn’t get any information out of the men in black about that
Maybe I should’ve interrogated them myself, even if it would’ve been unreasonable
If it wasthe I can’t really claim
Although it ended with an undesired outcome, but now that there are no men in black here, Julia-kaasan doesn’t need to stay here anymore
And since there were a few kids ae, taking the opportunity we brought them with us
The fairies that helped with soothing the children, accoers, returned to the Fairy Village in the course of the
Aside from Melby, apparently the other fairies can’t really spend too e
Then, we traveled for a day after leaving Riverette Village
We reached Trenadette Village around the time the sun set
My personal hter of the chief of this village
Our party was heading towards the house of the village chief led by Steph
On the way, there was a scene where the parents of children we brought with us rushed over and hugged their children tightly
The children were understandably still scared, so they clung to their parents, weeping
When the touching reunion ended, we decided to have the to report what happened
“Well well, thank you for co, madam I hear you even rescued the children, so we really can’t thank you enough”
The village chief is an about 40 years-old looking merchant-like man
This is the first tiether like that in real life
“――Father!”
Steph said
“Hey, Steph You are so the House of Viscount Chrebl Mind the place”
“Okaay―…”
After getting rebuked in a soft tone, Steph looked like she started sulking a bit
“Mada helpful?”
“Yes, of course She is doing well as the observer…no, not that, as the personal ar-kun”
