My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Chapter 3

I’ve got some important information, but it’s still far from solving the problem. We need to devise concrete measures to help Clara and Collet.

For the time being, Kazuki was thinking of having them leave the territory of Stokes and move to the village of Broche, where the Liner family of the original protagonist lives.

This should be the highest probability that Colette and Liner will meet while Clara is still alive. Broche village is by no means large as long as the original is played, and Liner’s remarks during the game show that all the children in the village were acquainted with each other.

The question is whether Colette and Liner can be as closely related as the original.

It is difficult to create a situation where Colette lives with the Liner family if Clara is alive.

Then I wonder if I can somehow put Collet in a childhood friend position.

Umm … I can’t come up with a good idea even if I groan. It was none other than Norman who appeared at such a dead end.

“Excuse me”

Looking at Norman who bows his head with exactly the same movement as a few hours ago, Kazuki is truly trained. I was impressed that the butler who was pulled out was different.

If there is a difference from the previous one, is it a bundle of paper held in both arms?

“Harold, if you’re feeling …”

“Don’t let me say it over and over, no problem. What? “

” Map of the area around the Stokes territory and information about nearby settlements located inside and outside the territory “

( Norman’s ability!)

I suppressed the joyful voice that could lead to the collapse of the character. Well, it may be translated into a suspicious word whether it is a compliment such as “Well, I’ll do it a little” when it is issued.

Still, Norman seems to have gathered a mountain of information in just a few hours. I decided to ignore the question of what happened to my work in the meantime.

“It’s a big deal. So how are you going to save that servant?”

“… very much It’s hard to say, but I think it’s ideal to move out of Stokes territory. “

This was a big bet for Norman.

Getting out of the territory means reducing the labor force and the number of people paying taxes. You might not care if you’re going to kill it from the beginning, but I didn’t think Harold thought so.

But therefore you may find it unpleasant that the labor force and tax revenues belong to other aristocrats.

It’s a noble face.

“Yes. Where is the candidate town?”

“Well, that’s here …”

However, Norman was wary of Harold’s response to nothing, and Norman was overwhelmed.

Harold is listening to Norman and reading the materials brought in. That attitude is serious.

Rather, as if he was enthusiastic about Norman’s suggestion, he immediately began to consider solutions to potential problems.

“There are many things that you have to prepare when you move out of the territory. Can you easily go back and forth between the territories of other aristocrats in the first place?”

“If you are an individual, there are no particular restrictions. However, if you are sent out without having anything in an unfamiliar land, your life will be short. Do you need the minimum supplies?”

Then you need to use a small wagon. Of course, it’s the Stokes wagon.

And when it comes to carriages of aristocrats and merchants, a pass is required to pass.

“I need something, and if my daughter is with me, I have to use a carriage. I have to do something about my pass,” it’s a very troublesome story.

Contrary to the words, I can’t take my eyes off the material.

And Norman was surprised that Harold had a natural grasp of Clara and her family. I used to think that I was just as indifferent as my parents.

(Hello … no, that’s right. Harold really thinks about the people at this age)

So, did you say that the person who suggested that she help her should also challenge herself?

If you think so, everything will fall into your mind.

Isn’t it because she was about to be slaughtered and isolated in a safe place even for a while?

The reason why one person is not reluctant to transfer labor and tax revenue, which has almost no actual profit, is because he really wants to save her.

Considering the future, it is safest for Clara to escape to a land beyond the reach of the Stokes family. Then the proposal cannot be rejected.

He was working to help her from the beginning. It was natural to ask myself seriously for the help I had inadvertently offered.

Norman’s chest is filled with hot things. At the same time, I was ashamed of myself who had doubts about Harold.

Don’t be suspicious of a boy who is so eager to find a way to save one servant.

If he is serious, he must be serious. When I think so, the tone naturally gets hot.

“In this town, we will always need manpower at the harvest festival in the coming season …”

“Compared to the Stokes territory” Prices are high. If there is no environment where stable income can be obtained … “

Harold makes an accurate point based on the materials in response to his opinion. Its thinking ability, vision, and knowledge are not that of 10 years old.

It’s no wonder that it’s possible because the contents are college students, but for Norman who doesn’t know it, Kazuki 《 rp> Harold >> didn’t seem like a child prodigy.

Norman has no good feelings for the Stokes family if he says honest thoughts.

The current head and his wife are pure-blooded and a mass of elected thinking. He looks down on people other than purebred aristocrats and does not consider the people to be humans.

But his two sons were different.

Without being bound by easy prejudice, he has an important ethical sense as a person and can see things comparable to adults.

Isn’t this boy the light of hope to change the Stokes home? Harold was shining with such expectations.

“–That’s it”

After all, the heated discussion ended more than two hours after the start. It was around that time. Outside the window, the sky is already dyed in madder red.

By exchanging opinions with Norman, I was able to notice some small details that I couldn’t even see.

With this, the prospect of relocating the two to Broche is generally clear.

What I am wondering is when to set the date of the decision. As far as I played the original, I didn’t feel a big number of days before Harold killed Clara.

The shortest is the night of the day, and the longest is the day after next.

The original will not be affected unless there is a big delay, but I would like to do it within 3 days including today in terms of insurance. I also want to avoid being too impatient and suspicious of my parents.

However, it is not realistic from now on. Then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

“Norman”

“Ha”

“The decision is tomorrow night . I’ll do something about the pass card. You should be ready by then. “

” I understand “

I’m worried. At the end, Kazuki chose to go the next day.

Harold’s personality probably killed Clara on that day, tonight. This is because I wanted to make the situation as close as possible.

Seeing off Norman leaving, while bathing in the west sun in a room alone, I will simulate the actions and lines from now on until tomorrow night many times.

A one-shot game where failure is absolutely unacceptable. After all, he carries the life of a person.

I couldn’t have been nervous.

Kazuki repeats the simulation with all his might to shake off the tension.

It’s dinner time, until the immersive consciousness is brought back to reality.

Is it worth it?

Supper started and I was able to easily cut out a lie to deceive my father.

“Yes, dad. I have a request.”

“What’s wrong? Harold”

” It seems that a blacksmith has recently opened a store in Reize, and the sword there is amazing. I also want a swing of it. “

” Hmm, then Do you want the merchant to buy some of them there? “

” It will take time. I want it right now. “

” Harold is really brave. In the future, he will be a set up Sect aristocrat like you. “
