Souma sat on the chair from exhaustion while Astrea sat at the table in front of him while putting a cup filled with warm tea for him.
"Souma's good work, I'll pay you for just now so do it again in the next town."
"You're very relaxed Nee-san."
Souma sipped his tea then asked.
"So how now?"
"It's obvious I'm going to arrest those people and kill them, no. Maybe I'll leave one person for questioning."
"It's okay if you want to kill everything, I already know the mastermind of everything."
"You sure?"
"Most likely the person who did this came from the Alman kingdom, there Helief grass was well planted and except for an alchemist it would be difficult to know this grass could be used to kill."
The kingdom was famous for the Alchemists similar to Souma, unfortunately the techniques they used were made to fight as well as kill enemies.
"So right, our people are working with them."
"Given that the front lines are protected by the moon magician so that's the only possibility."
Astrea sighed softly.
"Thank God that one of the Sage witches is willing to help us, given that they should be cruel people."
"That's just a few days left."
"What does that mean?"
It was Souma's agreement against the moon magician, if his situation turned into a battle directly.
"So that's why Law went undercover and went to every village and town recruiting a lot of people for him."
"However the number of our enemies are four kingdoms, defeating more than half is also something incredible that witches do in just a week, moreover it is the duty of the royal army to protect this kingdom we cannot possibly make one person to continue fighting."
"You're right, then I'll go to bed and check the city later, if they show up I'll finish."
Souma only nodded when he saw Astrea's departure to his room, this was an empty house that the townspeople had given them to rest, so they could rest, tomorrow morning the city will start to improve and the two can return to continue their journey.
It was called early morning but Astrea had already come out of the window and jumped on the roof of the building with her legs reinforced with magic, he went around for a moment before standing gracefully on the flagpole in a perfect position.
He saw some people gathering under him as he gathered dry grasses arranged in a way that resembled cubes measuring 30 cm.
There were five people there who were ready to burn the grass, he pulled the knife on his waist before jumping down and slitting their throats quickly. Blood spurted into the air along with a slight cry of helplessness.
Astrea searched their bodies and found some items and opened their faces.
Astrea was a person who had been to noble houses as an attendant so she easily recognized anyone she met with just a single look.
"So then, you're the nobles."
Just as Astrea turned around someone jumped on it, the shadow sent out a slash from her sword that Astrea was holding without turning her body.
"Hoh, there's another one hiding.and it looks like you're stronger than these cockroaches."
"Astrea deputy commander of the Diamond kingdom's knights."
"I haven't heard of the post in a long time, now I'm just a little guild leader in a remote village, well, I quit my post because I wanted to relax a little bit but it ended up like this because of you guys, so can you tell me your identity right now."
