    Episode 359: Interrogation (1)

    Lyranne Vivian the Screaming Witch.

    She slowly came down to the ground and screamed as soon as her feet touched the ground.

    “Necrapetto! Are you crazy? “Why did you just send it!”

    The hysterical voice made her frown as her man who was just beginning to grow flesh on her bones said.

    “Still I’m older…”

    “under! Is now the time to ask such questions? Just say something. Why did they just send those kites away! “If the leader finds out about this he won’t leave me alone!”

    Vivien shouted nervously and pointed with her index finger. There only the magic circle that had lost its light and became blurred remained.

    Her man responded as if he was annoyed.

    “Huh why should I get scolded? “It’s an unreasonable request to ask a necromancer to engage in close combat and Vivien must have been watching as well right?”

    The woman who was shooting at her also flinched at her reaction which was more sensitive than expected.

    But was there something she really wanted to discuss?

    “…But you didn’t even use Call of the Underworld!”

    Vivien stretched out holding on to the core equipment of a corpse collector.

    but….

    “Why should I use that?”

    Her man could only react as if he were amazed by her.

    “Well if I had used that the lighthouse keeper wouldn’t have been arrested!”

    It wasn’t wrong.

    It is true that if she had used the Staff of the Underworld which was the highest number among the Double Numbers she would have been able to make the man who was running like a tank escape from the battlefield.

    but….

    “If you use that one of you must die to return. But to use that on someone who has no information? In a situation where I can survive 100% if I just leave it alone?”

    “…You also had a new ability this time.”

    “If that becomes known outside the royal family will prepare my strategy in advance but who wants it? If I am in a dangerous situation and have to rely on that ability and this happens will Vivien save me? yes?”

    “….”

    “Please stay in line. “The reason you didn’t use magic isn’t much different from mine.”

    When her man began to argue in earnest Vivian had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

    Because every single word was correct.

    In fact the reason she didn’t persistently stop that monster earlier was the same.

    Because there was insufficient information.

    She used magic and got it back as is so it was awkward to use bigger magic.

    “Oh I’m so annoyed….”

    In the end everyone was responsible for the defeat.

    Even though we belong to one group and work together the essence does not change.

    There is no one here noble enough to sacrifice themselves for someone else. Being more sensitive to his own profits and losses than to the risks of his colleagues.

    “…Is everyone okay?”

    As Vivian pursed his lips and held back his anger the Blood Knight returned and joined the group.

    Nogu who had one of his arms blown off looked the most miserable of the three.

    but….

    “If my grandfather had done well it would have been okay.”

    Vivian changed his target to him as if he didn’t care about such things.

    “…?”

    “Instead of stopping that monster we should have aimed for the rear!”

    She wasn’t just saying it to find fault she was really thinking that way and saying it.

    “Why do something useless if you can’t stop it anyway…?”

    If she had instead targeted the enemy instead of stopping the man things would have been different.

    Wasn’t that the monster who had defended his comrades by receiving his various attacks with his bare body and had left his position for the first time?

    “If you kill Blood Spirit one of the Seven Powers that alone is a sufficient achievement and there is nothing more to say about the Gold Wizard. “Not only was she one of the targets of this surprise attack but if she died the teleportation magic would have been neutralized.”

    The blood knight’s judgment was a misjudgment.

    The man next to her who heard such blunt words let out an exclamation as if he was truly impressed.

    “Wow… you’re blaming your grandfather here? She was a lot more trashy than you thought huh? “You can’t believe you said that to the person who was trying to protect us.”

    “…Why can’t you even talk to yourself? “It’s not wrong.”

    “Well that’s true. Fish sit.”

    Soon her man nodded and glanced at her blood knight.

    She instantly became prey for the wildcats but surprisingly the old knight did not make any excuses.

    He just mumbles in a dry voice.

    “Hurry up and contact the leader. “You missed the Gold Wizard.”

    “…Can’t Grandpa do it?”

    In response to Vivian’s question the blood knight answered her with a cold gaze and eventually she lowered her head.

    She missed the target.

    But that wasn’t enough and the lighthouse keeper who was treated as a valuable resource even within Orculis suffered.

    Nevertheless I just watched them leave by teleportation.

    I feel like if I step forward I will be the only one who will suffer losses.

    “….”

    How can you say something like that?

    Her body collector stopped her in her car as she was hesitating.

    “I know how you feel but please contact me first. Even if you are not a gold wizard there is information that must be conveyed.”

    “…Are you talking about that monster?”

    “There’s that too but….”

    The man who had been speechless at her soon spoke to her.

    “Anyway just tell it. “I don’t know why she was here…”

    “….”

    “Amelia Lane Wales said she had found the woman.”

    ***

    “Arua Raven cast the level 4 space magic [Multiple Teleportation].”

    When the light from the activated magic circle faded the first thing seen was the iron bars.

    “Stay still. “It’s not a mistake.”

    “…What do you mean?”

    “It’s a facility that each warship has. “When space movement-type abilities are used to prepare for intruders they are guided in this direction.”

    Ah something like that was installed.

    But I think teleport guidance is an effect I’ve heard a lot about…

    “I am Arua Raven vice-captain of the 3rd Magic Army. This is my ID. During the battle with the criminals of Orculis I returned through teleportation magic.”

    Soon Raven revealed her identity to the soldier waiting outside the cage and soon after identity verification was completed the cage was opened.

    but….

    Chukkakeong-!

    What is it? Why are you going out and closing it on your own?

    “…What are you doing?”

    When I asked again without having the brains to use an honorific Raven avoided my eyes and spoke to the soldier.

    “We will keep them here for a while so keep a close eye on them.”

    “yes.”

    Uh… I never even thought of this development?

    While my mind was turning white without my knowledge Erwen who was next to me clung to the iron bars and shook them.

    “…I will kill you!!”

    Also the situation was a bit too bad to say that I had lost control due to habit.

    I feel like I’m losing control too.

    For some reason it reminds me of the guild basement and makes me want to immediately destroy the iron bars.

    but….

    “I understand how you feel but please remain calm. “It’s impossible to escape by force anyway.”

    “…what?

    “No. 399 A cage of silence. “Not only are your supernatural abilities sealed within it but you cannot use magic divine power or even Aurors.”

    Ha for some reason my spine felt cold.

    After confirming that the skill did not work even if I recited the command I sighed and let go of the iron bar.

    “Here… this is a potion. “Please heal your wounds.”

    Soon Raven handed over several bottles of potions through the bars gave a few instructions to the soldier and left.

    If I had to summarize the important things it would be like this.

    Be courteous.

    But whatever happens don’t open the cage.

    And if there is an emergency situation where the enemy invades here they will be released so that we can deal with it.

    “…You got hit. Tersia don’t waste your energy and come here.”

    “what? “Now that woman has us locked up here how on earth—!”

    “Then what else can we do?”

    “….”

    “Erwen is right. Just calm down and come here.”

    “……yes.”

    I quickly regained my composure and spoke and Erwen also broke her stubbornness and headed next to me.

    “First of all… it would be better to use potions first.”

    It seemed like it would take a long time for him to heal through natural regeneration alone so with the help of Amelia and Erwen he sprayed potions all over his body to stop the bleeding.

    And how long has it been?

    “…Are you okay?”

    “…Okay I’m used to it now.”

    To be honest I felt like I was going to fall.

    Now the only pain resistance I have left is the ’30’ attached to Bayon’s essence.

    But what can I do? I have to treat the wound.

    “Hey… can you give me some water?”

    “Ah… ah I understand!”

    Soon Erwen spoke to the soldier as if making a request and the soldier panted and brought water.

    Raven’s request to treat her politely was also a good one but it seems that it was difficult to treat her because of Erwen’s status.

    “Hey… are you okay?”

    Oh you were just worried about me.

    “It seemed like there was more sweat than blood….”

    “It’s okay don’t worry.”

    This always happens whenever I take a potion.

    I drank the water that the kind-hearted soldier gave me in one go and then stood close to the iron bar located on the other side of the entrance.

    That’s because the conversation we’re about to have is confidential.

    “Anyway the treatment is over so let’s talk. Come here both of you. “Lower your voice.”

    “Do you think your face is too close?”

    “What’s the problem? “It’s just to have a conversation.”

    “…Then me too….”

    “Hmm I guess fairies have good hearing?”

    “What does this have to do with you?”

    “I just meant that—”

    Ugh why are they like this again?

    “Both of you stop it. “Because now is not the time.”

    “yes….”

    I hurriedly summarized the story before it got lost again and started the conversation.

    The first thing that needed to be discussed was this.

    “Why do you think Raven did something like that?”

    Why did Raven imprison us here?

    The two people who were bickering easily reached a consensus on this point.

    “I guess you realized your identity.”

    “Yes that’s all there is to it. “That woman probably knows that you are her evil spirit…. She doesn’t even know how many times her life has been saved.”

    Does this guy have life running in his blood now?

    She didn’t know but she was worried about the condition of Erwen’s teeth so she listed the next most likely number out of her mouth.

    “What are the odds that Emily did that because she knew your identity?”

    “Well I guess that doesn’t make sense either. “Because there was that woman on that island at that time.”

    Raven and Amelia are acquaintances.

    We fought together on Farune Island and know about Amelia’s [Power of the Abyss] and [Self-Replication] and [Sura Pavilion].

    But you use a dagger as your main weapon?

    Even if more than two years had passed and her face was covered Raven would have noticed.

    “Sure… this woman might be making us suspect that we might be their third party. Ha I knew it would be like this too.”

    “Wait a minute what did you know?”

    “What can I do? “You’re just going to hold him back.”

    “You’re good at talking even though you can’t even take care of your own head.”

    “what…?”

    No why is the story like this again?

    I quickly changed the topic of conversation.

    “Okay Emily are you okay? “There is a high possibility that Noark recognized you as well.”

    “That… you probably recognized it. “The Blood Knight may not recognize me since I haven’t had much contact with him but at least that corpse collector would have recognized me.”

    Ugh somehow I feel sorry.

    She said that after washing her identity she completely disappeared. This person has now become an enemy of both the royal family and Noark.

    “Don’t worry too much. It’s something I decided to do anyway. “I will leave when it gets to the point of causing you harm.”

    “Still do you still have a last conscience?”

    “Unlike you he must be rational.”

    Oh again and again.

    If we make a mistake now all three of us could go wrong.

    Is Erwen going to be okay even in the worst case scenario?

    I am a target for elimination by the royal family and Amelia may be accused of being Noark Sejac but she is not.

    Even in the worst case scenario she will seek refuge in the fairy clan.

    “…Then what are we going to do next?”

    I answered Amelia’s question after taking a moment to gather her thoughts.

    “Well first of all I have no choice but to wait.”

    There is not much you can do when you are locked in a cage.

    After Raven returns it is best to consider the situation and respond appropriately.

    thus….

    “mister?”

    I got up after finishing the conversation.

    He then approached the corpse whose face was covered with the cloth he had received from the soldier earlier along with water.

    I don’t know what will happen in the future…

    It would be better to do what you can.

    “…What are you trying to do?”

    “Check the loot.”

    “…what? In the current situation?”

    Well then is there anything I can do differently?

    I shrugged my shoulders crouched down and started looting corpses in earnest.

    ‘I couldn’t pick up the ten rings the necklace and the cane because I dropped them when I was grabbing them earlier…’

    It seemed like I would be able to open the subspace later when I got out of the cage.

    Because magic tools don’t work inside this cage.

    ‘Hey how much is this anyway?’

    The more difficult the situation the more you need to know how to smile even at small things.

    It was impossible to estimate exactly how much income he earned but one thing was clear.

    If you sell all of this you will be able to roughly pay off your debt.

    Well the problem is whether I can get away with this without any trouble.
