Enjoy!!
...****************...
“Food, Check! Appliances, Check! Other things I need to prepare.. Well, with this much, I guess it's okay?"
"Shisho, all this, to the train?" (Wolf)
"Yes, I'll hand it to you."
"I understand!" (Wolf)
I put the purchased food into the prepared carriage in front of the church.
I'll leave Tiez for a few days, and you can tell that my preparations are almost done?
This will be the first time I plan to spend a night away from home in this world.
Well, how to explain it, it reminds me of my childhood and makes me feel excited. Sure was!
In fact, it made me feel like I was doing a field trip. And I got this chance when I visited Marito.
“At Maya's request, Yugura religion, I was told that she wanted to borrow some of these knights as a guide.” (Marito)
"So that's it."
“It has been decided to give the role to Lady Ratzel, who is also close to Maya, and Lord Domitorkofkon, who is reliable.” (Marito)
"Well, I kind of understand that choice."
“That's why you have to go with them” (Marito)
"What do you mean?"
“I think I need to explain the details. The envoy from Yugura headquarters came here to inspect every branch. And that person wants to see and visit the church in every village.” (Marito)
"Hmmm…"
“And the messenger also plans to visit the village that does not have a church, listen to local stories, and say that the religion wants to build a church if requested.” (Marito)
“Once, So the messenger asked the royal knight to act as a bridge and guide, and chose Grandpa Kara, who was a veteran and had a good reputation in the village, and Illias, and, who was close to Maya, a Yugura. And, you want me to use this to look around, don't you?"
“Yes, what impresses me about you is that every time you give an opinion is the part where you realize the difference between this world and your home world. After all, you haven't visited anywhere other than this city right?” (Marito)
“This is the city I first noticed when I came down from the mountain. As for the Black Wolf Village.. Well, I can say that it is part of the culture of this Kingdom, I guess?”
“You're used to the appearance of the castle and the city, right? And if you look at the lives of the people who set up houses outside the castle with your own eyes, I think it will be easier to express your opinion in the future.” (Marito)
"That might be true.. But is it okay for me to leave even if I'm not a knight?"
“Don't worry about that. When I talked about the terms, I added that the Kingdom will send the Foreign Department Candidates to come and join for study.” (Marito)
"Thank you for not calling me Court Jester." (Marito)
That's why I'm at Maya's place with Illias and Wolfe right now.
“Oh, I didn't expect the Candidate to be you, son. It was really great..” (May)
“My journey is still long. That's why, I was told to learn the difference with the other world here, so that I can easily give a useful opinion.”
"So so. I think it's better than teaching a class. It seems like it's okay for Wolfe to come too.” (May)
"Wolfe will study diligently!" (Wolf)
"That's new spirit!"
"God!" (Wolf)
“Kakek Kara is preparing the train now, She will come soon.” (Illian)
"So, who's the emissary from the base?"
"That's me!"
And a young woman appeared.
“My name is Lacra Salf. Let's work well on this trip.” (Lacred)
"I'm Illias Ratzel." (Illian)
"Me, Wolfe!" (Wolf)
“Please treat me well on this trip. Hmm, how can I call you?”
“Call me Lacra, Shosho-sama.” (Lacred)
[TN: In the source, it says, ' ⁇ ' (Shosho), which roughly means State Department, so I originally wanted to translate it as official, but I guess I'll leave it as it is. and why '-sama'? added to someone you respect or if the person has an honorable standing.]
“But I'm still a Candidate. I'll be careful not to get in your way, and feel free to let me know if I do anything disrespectful.”
I shook hands with a smile, as I was excited to leave. Hey, Illias, don't make weird faces! Maya too!
“…. Even so, Shosho-sama has an unusual appearance. Black hair and black eyes.. Besides, the amount of Mana in your body is very small.. May I ask where you are from?” (Lacred)
“Unfortunately, I have moved from one place to another…. After parting ways with my parents, I started living alone, and that was Tiez, the first place I chose to settle in this continent. I was born with a small amount of Mana in my body, so I am not good at physical work, etc.”
“Yeah, very unfortunate... Hmm? Shosho-sama, it looks like you are possessed by a spirit.” (Lacred)
“Yes, I asked Maya to use Possession Magic so I could talk to people who speak different languages. Have you heard about the discovery of the settlement of the Black Wolf Tribe in Tiez recently?”
"Yes. That white haired girl is from there, right?” (Lacred)
"That's right. This kid has already learned the language here, but I still use this Possession Magic to interact with the other Black Wolves. It was my acquaintance, a merchant who found the village, and I was his collaborator.”
"Is that so? You're young, but you've done your best.” (Lacred)
“Isn't Lacra the same? It's such a blessing to work with such a beautiful person like you.”
"Well, fufufu." (Lacred)
It was nice chatting with Lacra. I've been seducing people for a long time, it's nostalgic. Hiya! you two, stop looking at me with that look! Learn from Wolfe!
“Let's start the discussion. Lacra will visit the village in turn with me, and you and Wolfe will make preparations.” (Illian)
"I understand!"
Illias and Lacra entered the back room. Now, let's go shopping.
"Son, how could you nonchalantly answer his question." (May)
“As I thought, you can't tell me all the details of your origin right?…. From your point of view, is there an answer that feels weird?”
"I don't think so, I don't feel any lies in your conversation." (May)
Right, I haven't mixed up any lies in the conversation just now. Since Lacra was a priest like Maya, I thought he might have the same power to detect lies as Maya, and I acted accordingly.
I don't know the specific theory, but I can guess the mechanism.
One of the hallmarks of these priests was that they had an excellent ability to discern Mana.
In the past, I once ate a bean that had a special Mana called Rye fruit, and Maya easily guessed it just by observing it from the outside.
If there was a way to detect a lie as an extension of that ability, that method might observe the fluctuations of one's Mana.
Everyone has some habits when they lie. If you're a skilled liar, you probably won't show it on the outside, but what about on the inside?
Awareness of lying can bring some movement to where the person is, and the pastor can observe it…. That's my theory of how it works.
If he says that he can see everything I think like some kind of psychic…. I'm sorry to say this, but I decided that the odds were very low.
The reason is Wolfe. The boy's past is terrible. However, when Maya came into contact with Wolfe, there was no reaction like she could see such a memory.
Maya, who was obviously fed up with the topic of Necromancy, should have made some sort of expression when she read Wolfe's feelings.
That's why I'm thinking of measures for the ability to detect lies based on this speculation.
If I lied, it would get caught in the censorship. At first glance, this seems like an impossible game, but it is not. I just have to distort the truth with another truth.
It's true that when I was in Japan, I moved around a lot. After starting to live alone in Japan, arguably the first place I chose to settle in this continent was Tiez.
