My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Harold and his party steal the treasure sword Gram Gran from the Griffith family and return to the neighboring town. I managed to get back to the inn before dawn.

Temporarily take off your robe and enter your room with a face that doesn’t eat anything. When I was finally alone, I sat down on the bed and exhaled a lot.

In addition to the physical fatigue that went through the 10-hour round trip, the fact that he played the triple role of crimes of intrusion, robbery, and injury blames his conscience. And heavier the mental burden. Although many bad publicity has been disseminated, it is the first time that such a clear wrongdoing has been done.

It doesn’t feel good.

Look at the rectangular box leaning against the wall. The Little Qi is so beautiful that I don’t think it was in that miscellaneous warehouse.

At dawn, it looks shining brightly in the morning sun when it begins to be inserted thinly from the window of the room.

This sword will be the original work from now on … No, it will be one of the important factors that greatly influence the fate of this world.

What I suddenly missed was the idea of letting Liner take it back. As it is called a treasure sword, the performance of Gram Gran is high. If you get used to this from the beginning, Liner may become a considerable user in the future.

But once the sword is regained, Liner will probably act as if he were in the Knights. If this happens, the probability of being involved in an incident triggered by Justus or Justus’s own plan and unable to go through the process of resolving it will increase.

I wondered if it would be possible to guide the development as the original while returning the sword, but the period from the time this order was given to the time it was put into practice was too short. I didn’t have time to work out. Also, with the cooperation of Ell, Harold’s speech is almost impossible, such as avoiding the precondition of knowing the future of the original knowledge and rounding it so that the other party does not understand it.

And above all, I don’t know what my position will be if I fail the mission. We decided that it would be wise to take advantage of our current position, where we can control the location of Treasure Items and the pace at which they are collected to some extent, rather than making a big bet with such uncertainties.

That’s why I have no choice but to squeeze my stomach, whether it’s stealing or not. I just pray not to reveal that I am the principal of the black robe.

With that in mind, Harold fell asleep deeply at sunrise and gave himself up for a temporary rest.

◇

Elle and other members of Frieri waited for the time when the traffic of the people of Broche village began to flourish. I started to act. Each of them pretends to be a completely unrelated person and is scattered throughout the village, pretending to be a visitor to this town.

Information can be collected with considerable accuracy only in small villages.

Immediately after Ell started interacting with the villagers while playing a young man who happened to visit this town as a travel merchant. The expected information was caught.

Last night 《 Last night 》 A thief has entered Griffith’s house.

While the owner and his wife, who would be the customer, were having a well-end meeting at the storefront, such a topic came to Ell’s ear nearby. I knew it was a success because I hadn’t heard from Harold by this morning, but for the time being I was able to clear the first stage floor and it was a good start.

“Hey sister, is the story true now?” I try to talk to the shopper next door who would have done it.

A woman in her forties, called her sister, was willing to answer Ell’s question. Maybe he was itching to talk, or maybe he felt better about being called an older sister.

Thanks to her, her mouth turns fluently.

“That’s right. It seems to be a burglary,”

“It’s not calm in such a peaceful village. Hey, was the person at home a real man? “

” That’s why my husband and wife were cut off and hospitalized. Fortunately, it seems that I was only slightly injured. , I can’t hurt them. “

” Griffith-san, do you remember your arm? “

” Retired It’s been a while, but both are former adventurers. Even now, when a dangerous monster appears near me, who is the best in the village, he always takes the lead and exterminates me. “

“In other words, the robber is a person who is better than Mr. and Mrs. Griffith. It’s a pretty scary person.”

“That’s right. Take it all. I can’t sleep if I want to go home tonight. “

Well, the robbers have already left the village, so it’s useless to worry about it. However, it is a natural reaction for a villager who thinks this case is just a robbery. Especially if the means of self-defense are scarce.

But there was one more thing to check.

“What kind of person is that robber? If anyone has seen it, it would be better to let them know what kind of person they are and what kind of appearance they are.”

p>

“I didn’t hear it directly, but it seems that Griffith was a duo.”

A duo. That’s exactly what Harold had said in advance.

In the unlikely event of a battle, I disappear and order the two members of the Hoshiyomi tribe to stop. That was one of several arrangements.

The reason why Harold, a combat enthusiast, has withdrawn behind the scenes is to reduce the risk of being known to a third party as a gang of robbers with a high probability of having a known face. Let’s go. It’s obvious that Harold will be a hassle again.

Well, I don’t think that’s the case now.

I got the information I wanted for the time being. Another thing to look for is a boy named Liner and a girl named Colette that Harold said.

In Harold’s story, Liner is the only son of the Griffith and his wife mentioned earlier, and Colette is his childhood friend. Knowing that much may be acquaintance or a desire to involve them for some reason.

I’m curious about Ell, but when I heard it, I was told that it didn’t matter to you and I understood that it would be cut off, so I didn’t ask.

Harold’s name cannot be given directly to the Liners, but he is well known in a bad way. Eventually, there will be an opportunity to see the relationship.

It’s going to be a long relationship.

First of all, you need to get acquainted with Liner. If his parents were injured, he must be in the hospital as well.

But Harold glared that Liner and his childhood friend would soon follow them who stole the sword. If the prediction is correct, there isn’t much time to slow down.

Ell heads to her next destination, the hospital, ending the conversation with the woman in a natural way.

The hospital where Mr. and Mrs. Griffith are hospitalized was immediately known because there was only a small village of Broche. It was a small and slightly old facility that was more like a clinic than a hospital.

It seems that this is still the only medical institution in the village.

Ell visited the clinic with the reason “I’m about to run out of medicines I had stockpiled for emergencies along the way, so I’d like to replenish them.”

In the clinic, there is a waiting room with only one sofa, which is limited to three people, and an outpatient examination room and treatment room. And there are only a few beds for inpatients.

I thought this was the only medical institution in the village, but according to the nurse who had a chat during the waiting time, it was basically home medical treatment. .. It seems that only really serious patients are hospitalized.

“Even so, my turn doesn’t come at all”

I have a clue as to the reason, and I dare to talk about it there. Ell spilled to guide her.

“Maybe I have something to do after this?”

“No, especially this. I’m planning to stay for a few days. I don’t have any, but I thought I wouldn’t be called even though there were no other patients. “

” Ah, actually, there are people who have been hospitalized urgently now. “

p>

“Maybe Griffith-san?”

“Do you know that?”

“Because everyone in the village was all about the topic.”

“I see”

Ell’s words convinced the nurse. But he made a screaming voice.

I will keep the story that I heard from the shopper earlier that the griffith and his wife, who are former adventurers and have good skills, were injured when a hunter invaded. So I shake the topic as if I had just come up with it.

“But I heard that Mr. Griffith was slightly injured, but maybe he was hospitalized …”

“Oh, so much Don’t worry, it’s a real man. I’ll be discharged in a few days because the main thing is to stay in the hospital and watch the progress of the procedure. “

It’s related to the privacy of the patient. I thought it would be difficult because of that, but the nurse simply talked about the current condition of Mr. and Mrs. Griffith.

It is useless to have prepared a handicraft to extract information. Well, it’s okay because it will reduce the trouble.

“I was relieved to hear that. I was worried because everyone is talking about this story.”

“Because this is a small village. In many cases, other people’s major events become their own major events.”

“Well, but I can’t help but be worried if I think I might be attacked by a heroic robber. “

” That’s right. It’s a nuisance to come. “

Her argument is correct, but Harrison finds that value in the treasure sword. Well, Harold said that Justus is also biting into that principle of action.

It’s safe to say that Harrison’s feeling of commanding the Harolds is one of his plans. And Harold seems to be aware of the content of the scheme.

I will never tell you what it is, but given that Harold is quiet and devoted to this kind of work, it may cause a lot of trouble. Ell speculated that the situation was complete, although there was no clear evidence.

The key to unraveling the truth is probably the existence of the treasure sword. The real thing has never been seen by Ell, but its existence was known by knowledge.

Far below this earth, the depths of the crust.

It is said that a huge solid astral, which is the core of the continent, is sleeping there. A total of seven weapons were created by carving out and processing the astral body.

It is unclear whether the story is true or false, or how to reach such a deep underground. Even the existence of a solid astral body is an eye-opener, and it seems that what started with rumors has a tail fin over a long period of time, and eventually it has created an exaggerated anecdote.

The origin is probably the kind of falsehood that the blacksmith who struck the sword attached to increase the value of the sword and his fame. It is most reasonable and realistic to think so.

But if it involves the speculation of Justus and Harold, I can’t say so. Elle had already begun an investigation, thinking it would be worth a deeper look. Not only Ell himself, but also Giffelt’s organizational strength.

Depending on the result, you may be able to see what they are trying to do.

It’s not an act of betrayal to Harold, but it’s probably better to do it in secret. The probability that Ell is reluctant to search is higher.

Although the relationship of trust has not been established yet, it is necessary to improve the goodness on the surface so that the cooperative relationship can proceed smoothly.

“Oh, it looks like it’s finally over”

I raised my voice. In response, the door leading to the examination room opened.

The one who came out was a slightly fat man with gray hair. He looks like a person in his fifties.

And it was a red-haired boy and a blonde girl who appeared with him. Neither has a good look, but they are the two physiognomy I heard from Harold.

There is no doubt that this boy and girl are Liner and Collet. They are the ones who expect Harold to be the key person in this, and perhaps the future, “something”.

The role given to Ell is to support them from behind. So Ell smiled very naturally and refreshingly at the two who met each other in order to sneak into the bosom of the Liners.

“Hello. My name is El, a merchant-like traveler.”

This will eventually share my fate. It was the moment of the first encounter of a person.
