Chapter 28 (1/2)
On the way back from the Adventurer’s Guild, we bumped into Alfred-tousan
He was eating a skewer and talking with one of the stall owners on the main street
“Al-kun!”
“Hey, Julia Have you finished your business?”
“Yes, what about you?”
“I’ve finished s, so I waited here for you two”
Because this was the way from the Adventurer’s Guild to the Viscount Chrebl estate, there was no chance of us passing by each other
“The ated
It’s not really so to shooht?”
“Of course, let’s go,” said Mum
I also nod vigorously
After Dad confirmed our responses,
“Well, shopkeeper-san, I’ll be going now”
“Oh, you have such a beautiful wife, I’ain”
The two exchanged their farewells and we left
We headed towards Fauno City’s guardroohts were
As you go around the peri at the back is the guardroom
“I’ in”
With a carefree attitude unbecouardroom
“We have been waiting, Milord”
A young, honest-looking knight responded to Dad
“It is this way”
The knight guided us to the baseuardroom, where the cells are located
Inside a cell on a plain looking bed was a es and rope
Since the
“We used an anaesthetic to slacken his jaw, so there’s no need to worry about hiue,” said Dad
Thehis voice
When he attacked us, he earing a mask that covered the lower half of his face, but now his full face is exposed
He looked tough and strong-willed, but had an average face
He glanced at us, who had stopped outside his cell
Err……as his naain?
[Appraisal]
《Lucretio:〈Yatagarasu〉Seventh Squad, Squad Leader Level:33》
Ah, yes, Lucretio
“Yo, how are you feeling, assassin-kun?”
Dad asked
He looked scary despite the smile he had on
“assassin……? What are you talking about I’m just a kidnapper”
“H a co children around Riverette Village?”
“……Don’t know them”
“So you insist that you orking alone?”
“……That’s right”
He’s clearly lying
However, it seems like it will be difficult to make him tell the truth
Then Melby suddenly revealed herself
“I will also help”
“Eh-……?”
I’m surprised by the sudden proposal
“These guys spread ruht?
“Y, yeah……”
“Then they are enemies of mine as well”
“You say you will help, but how?”
“I can just use [Fairy’s Eye]
Since I will know for sure when he is lying, we can try asking him some questions”
At Melby’s words, Dad nods
“That will help I leave him to you, Melby-san”
Dad used -san for Melby’s name
Since Pioneer Elves ht that elves were descended from the faeries’ masters, but it doesn’t seem to be that simple of a story
As a side note, when Melby asked to take ave his consent
Dad added the condition that Julia-kaasan or himself were to accompany me, but I saw no harm in it
Ah, but being seen chiseling away at the barrier for ages wouldn’t be that good though……
Anyway, Dad is going to interrogate the Man in Black ― Lucretio now
“You are a ht?”
“… I’ve been trying to tell you that’s wrong”
“That’s a lie”
At Melby’s words, Dad and Mum look at each other and nod
By the way, Lucretio can’t see Melby
“I wonder what position in <yatagarasu> you have…”
“……Like I said, I don’t know any <yatagarasu>”
“He’s lying”
“You, as an underling of <yatagarasu>, don’t hold much information”
“……That’s because I don’t know any <yatagarasu>”
“Lie”
“In <yatagarasu>, you had a position where you were able to put together quite a few subordinates”
“……You’re wrong”
“Lie”
“You know the kidnappers who took the children at Riverette Village”
“I’ I don’t know”
“Lie”
“You were in a position where you could lead the kidnappers at Riverette Village”
“Wrong”
“Truth”
“Okay……so you worked separately from the kidnappers”
“……”
Lucretio closed his itation
His , probably due to the anaesthetic’s paralysis
“You knew about the kidnappers’ failure, and were ordered to hunt us, who knew the circumstances, down”
“……k, Wrong!”
“Lie”
“The Archbishop of <yatagarasu> gave you the order Archbishop Gluto his name makes my mouth feel tainted He does the work of the devil, he’s not even a perso–”
“You’re wrong! Wrong wrong wrong!Archbishop-sama is a holy person!”
“First half, lie The second half was the truth”
“You finally showed your true colours You’re a ht?”
“……What about it?”
“Truth”
“Then let’s have you spit out everything <yatagarasu>’s structure, personnel deploy else; if it’s confidential infor is fine ”
“Who would say those things Even if you torture me, I won’t tell you”
“Well, well, you’re pretty professional aren’t you? A filthy assassin orshi+ps The Evil God in high regard and goes around killing innocents is……”
Dad said as if he was boasting about his own faults, laughing as if he werethe assassin
Of course, this should be for the purpose of provoking Lucretio so he spills the beans
“We are proud ers! What do you know!
If we don’t defeat the devil, this world will fall to ruin!
Filthy!?
To not even look at the sacred duty bestowed by Founder-sas like you are the filthy ones!
Release me from my admonitions!
I will ainst the devil, the holy Evil God, Monguenues-sama! ”
Lucretio snapped at Dad’s provocation
If he snaps at this level of provocation, he will never get good at fighting games
But……it cauenues, huh
