Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
16-9: Someone Who Silenced Behind the Incident
"Good night, Your Highness…"
"The Royal Capital seems to be busy, has anything happened…?"
As the night grew darker, I visited the royal palace as Shiro…
"Is Shiro the same, so you've already noticed it…"
"It's a shame, a rebellion has taken place in Duke Bishtal's territory…"
Ahh, about it…
Come to think of it, the one who attacked the Duke family's airship…
According to the King, they immediately contacted Bishtal Dukedom in an emergency once the airship was attacked, but they never got any reply at all…
So, when the neighboring nobles went to the Dukedom to investigate, the eldest son of Duke Bishtal declared that he had established the Bishtal Kingdom, and expelled the nobles who were investigating…
That's pretty quick considering it hasn't even been a few days…
They might use those birdkin or tamed flying-type monsters to investigate…
Thus, Duke Bishtal who was informed, appealed to the King to deploy the national military and then among the soldiers on standby, three knight orders that had been scheduled for training, were deployed…
It seemed that the third knight regiment of the order knight was famous for their fast marching speed would be dispatched tomorrow, whereas the second and sixth regiments would be dispatched five days later…
Advanced units, birdkin and wyvern rider, already departed first…
"Ara, it sounds rough…"
I answered with indifference…
I'm sorry but, I don't intend to participate in any disputes between humans…
"Having a conflict between humans during the Demon Lord Season like this is due to my lack of virtue…"
It reminds me, it is said that conflicts between humans during this season are mostly non-existent…
The western part of the continent seemed to be going to war as well, it seemed like otherworldly humans were also fond of war…
The king lowered his head apologizing for his failure…
There was no need for him to apologize to me, but I guess it was unavoidable since he mistook me for being an ancient King…
I saw a blue marker from the Prime Minister, so I made the King raise his head…
I received an analysis report from the slime section I collected earlier from the Prime Minister…
The results have come out even though it has not been half a day, yes…
The people of the Royal Research Institute are very capable…
I look at the documents lightly…
According to the summary, the slime seems to act as a concentrate and carrier of the Fiend Drug…
However, as the director said, they concluded that although these slime-eating normal creatures might die under the influence of the Fiend Drug, the chances were low for them to turn into monsters…
For the sake of proving the test, it seemed like they were going to catch some slime and rat from a nearby underground tunnel and let them precede each other like my code in a suburban experimental building…
Some holy knights will stand guard during the experiment, so it will be safe…
Since the investigative report on the director and secretary had been put together with the analysis report, I peeked at it out of curiosity…
This…?
I felt sorry for the carelessness of the secretary when she said that she had the wrong paperwork, but apparently, there was something behind it…
The Prime Minister added things that were not in the document…
"It looks like there are those demon lord worshippers behind the case…"
It seems like the secretary's girlfriend, a knight, is involved with an organization similar to the Wings of Liberty from before, she has been manipulating documents to earn money by selling them through illegal channels…
Quite a number of Fiend Drugs that were taken from the Royal Research Institute before being disposed of, fell into the hands of the organization…
There was a high possibility that the Fiend Drug found in the trading city was taken from the Royal Research Institute…
From the story I had heard in the Labyrinth City back then, the Wind of Liberty hiding in the Royal Capital was different from the Wings of Liberty of the Capital Duchy, than the demon lord worshipper, was, they're jovial occult associations…
Later, suspicious are the remnants of the Wings of Liberty that originated in the Capital of Duchy, or the operators of the Light of Liberty that held influence in the western part of the continent…
I checked both their locations on the map and informed the Prime Minister…
"the location…?"
"Yes, I told my subordinates to check on her…"
He probably wouldn't believe it if I said that I just checked it now, so I made it that way…
The King and Prime Minister praised, “As expected of”, but I ignored it because I was concentrating, looking for additional information…
The rest is not a big deal from their level, but there is a level half magician from the 40s with scouting skills among the Light of Liberty people, so we have to be careful…
Light of Liberty also had a mage with Summoning Magic skill and a tamer with taming skill who were all around level 30s…
Looking at their skills, they might know the truth behind the case…
"You must be careful with these three men, understand…"
"Especially against the scouts, you guys should not just send in an ordinary army, but someone with high combat ability on par with the Shiga Eight Sword…"
"As you wish…"
The Prime Minister is very grateful for my advice…
I can capture them as Kuro, but the Nobles mansion they are hiding seems to have guests living in it, it seems like it is troublesome…
Let's leave it to the Prime Minister…
The scout seemed to be running away, so I marked it…
The topic was diverted due to the talk of the demon lord worshiper, but there was little to bother me about the origin of the knights who smuggled the Fiend Drug…
He seemed to be a distant relative of the alleged mastermind behind the Prohibited Medicine Making Fiend Drug in the Labyrinth City back then, Marquis Kelten…
According to the Prime Minister, Marquis Kelten was examined by an inquisitor to deny the alleged Rebellion from the Fiend Drug manufacturing incident, and was found not guilty, so they did not pay attention to this information. …
The fact that the inquisitor at that time was someone from a house who was involved with the rebellion in the current Bishtal Dukedom, worries me a little, but this is not a conspiracy theory, no, each incident is certainly related…
When I moved Echigoya's camp, I got regular contact from Hero Hayato in the Weasel Empire, but the one who did so was a woman named Nono who was on guard at home…
"Then, Hayato and the others have gone deep into the labyrinth chasing after the demon lord…?"
"That's right. Hayato will defeat the demon lord this time…"
A runaway demon lord, that was rare…
So far, the demon lords are all fighting maniacs who revive even after death…
"If she's okay, then it's okay…"
"I'm going to install a communication device, so you can call if something happens to Hayato…"
"Thank you, Hero Shiro…"
"Un, bye…"
It seemed like Hayato had a good relationship with this demon lord, Hayato and his comrades probably would not let them off guard, so they would be able to conquer him for sure…
If they still can't defeat the demon lord after the auction after the royal conference is over, I'll go help them find the demon lord under the pretext of a new magic trial…
I placed an antenna that increased the reception of communication magic devices on the roof of Echigoya with Magic Hand, and installed the main part of the communication magic device on the Tifaliza office bookshelf…
There wasn't enough power to keep it operating all day, so I've put an ultra-compact magic furnace power with Philosopher stone behind the main section…
Tifaliza who lifted her face from the document asked me with a transparent expression that could not be read…
"Kuro sama, what device is it…?"
"Ahh, I'll explain it nowD" xDevice here…"
I locked the transmission function, and made it so it can only receive…
"If any communication comes from the other side, press the number three on the magic tool for the emergency use I have given you…"
"Sure…"
A magic tool for emergency use Signal Rod is a tool to transmit short-range signals by utilizing Signal magic…
The short transmission distance was unlike the large type model I had installed in the labyrinth mansion…
Unable to contact me when I was not in the Royal Capital, the signal would probably not reach the underground and the forbidden library…
The Echigoya Mansion has a large type model like the one in the labyrinth mansion, but recharging will be troublesome after you use it, so I ordered them to use the phone-sized Signal Rod normally…
The next morning, I went to attend the breakfast invitation by Duke Oyugock, but for some reason, the location was not in the Duke's mansion, but in the dining room at the corner of the royal palace…
I had a bad feeling about this, so I checked the Duke's current position…
Just like I wanted…
After a while, a palace attendant told me that the Duke would arrive, so I waited by the door to greet him…
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Miss Secilia…"
"No, I just arrived too…"
Is this a conversation between lovers!
So I wanted to retaliate, but I changed my consciousness on the person behind Duke…
"So you're Miss Secilia, really young…"
I lifted my dress slightly and bowed to the King…
This dress is the one I use most often, which is a dress with a golden part on the chest and red around it, as well as white stockings and gloves…
I just met the King as Shiro last night, so it feels weird to meet him normally as the King…
It reminded me, The Duke also said Young when we first met…
The treasurer entered after the King placed the white box on the table and left…
The only people left in this room are me, the King and the Duke…
"As suggested you are very beautiful and graceful…"
"As well as your dress that adds to the impression of elegance, it can make men queue up to be able to be with you…"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty…"
The king complimented me too much with praise like he was going to match his son to me…
Hoho, it will happen, but I will follow through…
"Open the box…"
I followed the King's orders, opened the box and took out the Fake Holy Sword Claiomh Solais…
I pretended to have a normal surprised expression…
"Here, may…"
He might not think me and Shiro were the same person, but since he brought this, it meant...
"Miss Secilia, do you want to use this holy sword…?"
Against the words of the King that I had anticipated, I retorted after a short pause…
"These swords, to me..."
"No, this sword is not worthy of me"
I made a regretful expression and shook my head…
Perhaps no one could see it as fake if I used it, but I would end up automatically logging into Shiga Eight Sword for sure…
"It's too presumptuous for me, but I'm sure the same Heim or the same Bauen of the Shiga Eight Sword can perfectly use the power of this holy sword…"
The king turned his gaze towards the Duke after my reply…
"It's boring, the same answer you predicted, yeah…"
"Young people today are not ambitious, but it should be right on this issue…"
"You, even Nina and Leon recommend it…"
Leon is the first name of Baron Muno…
Geez, I hope they tell me in advance if they're planning something…
When breakfast began, the conversation finally touched on this matter…
"Did the Shiga Eight Sword not sound interesting to you…?"
"No, that's not the case…"
I can't answer “ya” for that question…
"Nina told me your purpose is to travel the world, right…?"
"Yes, the world is vast, after all…"
Unlike Earth, there are many places I already know and no Google Map or Road View can make you feel like you have explored the world…
This world is only a small part of the world out there…
Moreover, thanks to level 311, I was able to have a safe trip…
The King and Duke nodded seriously after looking at me somehow…
"I understand that you don't want to be Shiga Eight Sword…"
"I'll tell them to get you off the candidate list…"
I completely understand, but since it seems like I've escaped troublesome things, I'm happy…
He asked an even stranger question in the end…
"Do you enjoy air travel from the labyrinth city…?"
"Yes, it's a little chaotic and dramatic, but I can enjoy a variety of unlikely scenery from the ground…"
The king seemed satisfied with my answer, he nodded deeply and allowed me to leave…
In the end, they never said anything about this issue and just said, “Enjoy the kingdom” conference that worries me…
Judging from the flow of the conversation, it doesn't seem to be anything bad, I guess I'll wait until the royal conference...
If it's something that's not good for me, I guess I can use the personal connection of the Secilia or the influence of Shiro…
By the way, the breakfast menu is soft rolls, half-cooked fried eggs, fresh salads, and thick roast…
There is no soup, but there are some fresh juices from citrus fruits…
Every dish is amazing even though they look as plain as they are from some hotels…
As expected of the King's chef…
I'll make it and let everyone eat it when I get back…
After breakfast, I heard from Echigoya that the smuggling knight had died of poisoning in prison…
However, I was unable to understand the purpose of the people who caused this chain of events…
If they try to overthrow the kingdom, they do a bad job, if they do terror, the places they go to are incomprehensible…
In prisons, in fountains, in the city center, and on the Noble Streets…
I wonder if there's anything I've missed...
