Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

198 Anomalies And Anomalies

Hildegard still couldn't find a clue if he was to draw a close conclusion.

I couldn't force Lars and the others to do much, so I took a break and explored the whole village, but I couldn't find anything in particular called this.

Although I've explored further outside the village, I can't find anything on this again.

I thought you might have a somewhat lower chance of encountering demons, but that's something I knew from the start.

I had to decide that I got nothing new than not even knowing the connection to this case in the first place.

If that's just one place though, there may be no choice.

But...

"Hmm... well, that's what I knew at the very beginning, but I'm pretty sure this still seems to be some sort of anomaly. Besides, it's not a coincidence."

"Well, it's... someone, or something, but... intentionally, done, is it?

"No, that's not something else to be surprised at either. - That's the third one, right? I don't know if this happened by chance."

"Um, well, that's what I mean."

Yes, that's the third spot.

It turns out that at least three villages have become deserted in the same way.

It is not possible that this is a coincidence.

Moreover, there is a king's capital nearby, so the villages around it are quite a distance from each other.

Because there is basically no reason to create another village in close proximity.

If it were normal, it would take two days just to move.

The villagers so far away have disappeared neglectfully in at least three places.

No... for this minute, that's suspicious.

Rather than that, we should assume that that is not the case.

Worst of all... there seems to be a deep connection between the decline of demons and this, and you should even think that the surrounding villages are wiped out.

"For now, what we know for sure is that the number of demons does seem to be decreasing."

"Though it's just a physical sensation, you obviously didn't encounter it to the extent that you felt less. It's tough to think of this as a coincidence again... I don't care what you think. I think it's time for them to..."

"That being said, there's no choice but to be gone, is there? That doesn't mean you're not gonna do anything."

"Well, yeah... those people, until the minute, we don't work hard,"

"That's what's so heavy about the load... do we have to do it?"

While I say that, I know I'm actually willing to Lars.

Maybe you care about what happened before.

Helen has some of those things... but Hildegard didn't dare say anything.

It would be troublesome if we were to be unscrupulous with this, but nothing like that so far.

In the first place, I brought these things in assuming as well.

I need to keep my eyes open, but I wasn't going to say anything unless I tried to be impotent.

Now more than that, I turn my gaze to the sight in front of me.

Sometimes you don't see people, and what's spreading there is something to say, even a long idle sight, but of course not if you're saying that.

I narrowed my eyes as if trying to grab something there.

Naturally there's no way I can tell anything about that... but it's also true that I think there might be something here.

Again, I couldn't find anything, but only a few things were different.

It was something I discovered when I was looking inside a certain house.

There it is, one of the tables.

It was on top of that, the preparation of a meal.

It was as if I were going to say that only the inhabitants had disappeared when I was about to eat, and that was the sight there.

It's just that it was the only thing that was happening, but it could be some kind of clue.

Well, so far, as always, I haven't found anything more than that, and I don't know what happened in the end - for now, though I blurt out, one thing I've figured out.

That is… probably the person who has produced that report, above the kings and guilds, likely knew about it, including this.

Of course, given the rumor that the original information is rumoured, although it is possible that you do not, it is better to think that you do, because it fits all kinds of twitches.

The slight discomfort that I remember is also convincing.

Most of all, if you say one way or the other, the thought is still stronger.

From the first time I saw the village, I felt that way.

But I'm not going to blame you for that.

Rather, it would be a natural decision, including a round throw at Hildegard.

I can investigate other things like this because that's the only two or so of the Seven Kings in this country right now.

Did I not write in the report on this, just in case?

I can still handle demonic anomalies once they're known, but this is just not good, so...

Nevertheless, I can't stand a door in a person's mouth.

Probably even laying down a dictation about this, but it would be only a matter of time before it flows as a rumor among people.

"Hmm... if you think about it, it's still convincing."

In the first place, it was too early to investigate the demons.

The report says that the story first came out only about a week ago.

Normally, we should conduct a thorough investigation on our own before bringing it to Hildegard.

But the report didn't say that I did.

I was convinced at that time that you wanted to make a secret investigation... but if you couldn't take the time because of this, you just have to nod that you would be right.

In the villages around Wang capital, people disappear neglectfully.

If such rumors spread, the Wang Du would be a mayhem.

Do something about it… it is the real purpose of this investigation to make the confusion as small as possible.

"Oh my God... you're not responsible"

Whimpering, he glances at the two of them trying to get a clue from what's going on around them, exhaling sighs.

Exactly this, you can't tell both of us.

It's not Lars' word, but whatever it takes. This is too heavy a load for both of us.

I'd go back to college once if I could, and I'd just like to leave the two of you... then the problem is I'm running out of manpower this time.

But in this way, that might still be better.

- It was half serious, when I was starting to think about that.

"Eh... Lars, Helen, maybe we don't need to look for clues anymore."

"... Huh? What the hell...?

"... Huh!?

"What, Mr. Lars... Ah"

To Hildegard's words, Lars lagged for a moment, and a few more, and Helen also noticed.

At some point, there was a sign that there was only three of us in the village.

In this situation, I can't imagine all sorts of things, such as someone who shows up in a place like this alone.

Nevertheless, that would not necessarily be a bad thing, given only the current investigation.

Because, as Hildegard said earlier, you may no longer have to look for clues.

I had a clue, and if I could hear it, I'd be talking about it.

Hildegardo, who had first noticed its existence and had taken its place, had a cold sweat flowing on its back.

Hildegardo, who has either not been very good at combat or has left a large part of it in his previous life as a consideration, but still has the fighting ability to match his superiority.

But that's why, unnecessarily, I get it.

If it's probably a battle, this opponent...

"... um?

And Hildegard, who remained vigilant, but at that moment slightly eased his vigilance.

The opponent appeared unconstitutional… and even more so because it was what he found out.

"Is that...? Lina, honey...?

Yes, that was Lina, who shouldn't have seen herself here lately.

Helen groans half-heartedly at the unexpected appearance of the person, while the strength of the body slowly falls out.

Lars also let go of his hand from the pattern of the sword, exhaling a sigh.

"Ha... what the hell, don't surprise me"

"Ugh, yeah... surprised, huh?... Is that it? But, Lina, why, here, to..."

Helen's words were never uttered until the end.

Because Hildegard stepped out in front of the two of us, trying to block and shelter it.

I feel the gaze of doubt from both of us pierce my back of my head, but I can't afford to answer that.

Perhaps there is too much difference between the two of them to feel... but Lina has been making herself more murderous since the beginning.

Of course, this time of year.

"... Huh?

"- Become"

So Lina pulled out her sword and poked it at me, and I wasn't surprised.

I'm just worried about what's going on from here.

When I asked why, would you answer me?

Well, answer me, from what I've heard... it doesn't make sense to this one, except for the story.

With a sharp slaughter in his body, and a cold sweat, now what really happened, Hildegard throated with a curse.
