Chapter 48 (1/2)
A few days after obtaining the cooperation of Grandpa Ganash――
I was toiling away at the daily excavation of the historical remains
The area of each layer shrunk as we dug deeper, and I thought that at this pace, it wouldn’t be long until we reached the depths of the historical remains
And then finally, I discovered a residential area-like floor inside the historic ruins
It probably wasn’t even 10 tatami mats in size
Weathered blankets were neatly folded and piled up on the sofa in front of the fireplace
There were leather-bound books were lined up on the bookshelves mounted on the wall
As for what the estate didn’t have, seeious-related books stood out
I collected 2, 3 volumes of noteworthy books and stored thee
However, I felt a little uneasy inside this room
It had a fantasy-like aura at first glance, but it felt so of what I know of Marquekt’s culture and civilisation
“……Melby, what do you think?”
“Hmm…… It seems a little unusual somehow?
We never caes we visited until now, right?
Master had knowledge of pluy that perished a long tio”
“When looking at the fireplace and furnishi+ngs and such, I think they appear to be at a sih”
“There’s a sense of dissonance even regarding those
Roughly speaking, they are certainly sihtly”
Although Melby and I were both puzzled, I examine the inside of the room
“……hm?”
I sahat looked like the cover of a book underneath the decaying blankets on the sofa
When I carefully moved the blankets away to have a look, it turned out to be a diary or notebook
I slowly open the notebook(?)
Then, what appeared inside made me speechless
“……What’s the matter, Ed? Why are you so silent?
They look like… letters, but they’re not ancient e of Marquekt today
This many wave-like letters, I wonder if you can even read them properly……?”
“……Alphabet……”
Right The notebook ritten using the alphabet from my former world
That said, it wasn’t English…… This is probably German
The English writing seelish proficiency
And, this is only a guess but the Ger probably had the same contents
As far as I was able to decipher, it doesn’t seem like there’s any difference in content between the Gerlish
Thus, I continued reading the English side
If English was their native language they would have just written in English, so the one rote these memoirs is probably German
In other words―― this means that there was a person who reincarnated in Marquekt from Germany
I continue reading the ist of it for Melby
As we advanced through the memoirs, both Melby and I became taciturn
Written there was a tale full of the deceit and weaknesses of a man who continued to trifle with lives in wickedness――
It seems the author of these memoirs, Helmut Heydrich, was born in east Germany
He was born at a tiht, it was Ger the interwar period of nazi domination
Mr Heydrich’s faed in a small factory business
Due to the munitions provided by the nazis, his family ell-off, and Mr Heydrich was able to advance to the engineering department at university
Then one day, he fell in love with a girl
He gnashed his teeth in disgrace for the first time in his life
The next day, he witnessed her taking a stroll with a young man
The man was a Jew
He gloated when he saw the Gestapo take that Jewish man away
He thought the nuisance had disappeared
However, a short tiirl was taken away by the Gestapo
In other words, the girl also carried the blood of a Jew
Froain
After losing the girl, Mr Heydrich involved hiend
He ht secretly be Jews and informed the Gestapo
He wanted to believe that his actions hadn’t been wrong
Hence, Mr Heydrich continued his activities as hitler’s hands and feet with a bloodcurdling vigour
And alongside his university graduation, he was assigned to be a technical officer in the Schutzstaffel
Even in the Schutzstaffel, he stood out conspicuously and was entrusted with one of the exter
He worked earnestly even there
As a technician, he would brainstor of those “lives that were unworthy of living” until late at night every day and implement them
They would dispose of those ould harm the health of the German nation, but when it had started to becoirl
Like Mr Heydrich, the girl had already reached the age to be called an adult
The girl-turned-woht train packed with people with no rooh they were objects and sent to the exterement
The woman remembered Mr Heydrich
In those eyes dwelled the desperate hope of someone who had found life in a fatal situation
Mr Heydrich rebuffed her fawning eyes with indifference
He watched withoutSchutzstaffel members pissed in the hole her corpse was thrown in as a prank
That night, he had a strange dream
In that dreauenues, an evil God of the underworld, conferred an ae to Mr Heydrich
The
――If you kill another five thousand innocent hurant a wish of yours
Having coht it was impossible
It wasn’t because he thought he couldn’t kill that many people
He firmly believed that in this world, there was a race whose birth itself was a sin
While thousands of deaths were caused under his responsibility, he had thought that he was righteous
However, even Mr Heydrich’s life as commandant came to an end at last
The Soviet arement
The central government ordered him to blow up and dispose of the extermination camp
Naturally, it was in order to destroy evidence
Mr Heydrich thought that he had done nothing to be asha pursued in post-war court-martial
He used the prisoners to proceed with the preparations to blow up the establishment
It had been difficult for the few Schutzstaffel members who remained in the camp to suppress the revolt
However, Mr Heydrich acco spirit
Nevertheless, it was already too late
The Soviet ar the destructive blast, immediately bombarded with tanks
The Soviet tank shells destroyed Mr Heydrich’s castle
The Schutzstaffel members subordinate to Mr Heydrich also fled, but they were soon cornered by the Soviet army and surrendered
During that, Heydrich, who had been issuing manifestos in the office until the end, died from the tank shells that flew into the office―― or should have
When he arose, Mr Heydrich found himself in an unfamiliar space
“So presence was there
――Evil God Monguenues
The evil God of the underworld that he thought had been a delusion brought on by a bout of iot about was there
The evil God told him
The evil God said that the number of innocents killed under Mr Heydrich’s supervision was ultimately 35, 409 people
And, he said that it was regrettable to let such evil go to waste
But Mr Heydrich did not understand
He objected to the evil God, saying that he was not evil
The evil God laughed
