Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

286 Former Strongest, I Hear The Circumstances From The Holy Knight

A slight silence filled the scene.

But it was simply because he was thinking.

Ingrid looks serious everywhere.

You don't look like you're lying or joking, you don't look like you're bluffing.

But...

"Hmm... You said you've saved a village before, right?

When Soma said so, Ingrid had a surprising look on his face.

If you want to put it into words, why, and so on.

That doesn't mean why we're talking about it now.

Why did you think of that?

And that face stays put, turning into a bitter laugh.

"... how did you know?

"Ingrid and I are still shallow, but you don't look like the kind of person who does that for any reason. If so, will we have to connect with it?

"I see... Speaking of which, you said something like that that had something to do with this one. I mean... isn't that what this is about?

"... you must be a little too sharp"

Ingrid's bitterness deepens even further, as does the air he was straining at any rate.

With all the breath I just told him to do, the answer was spewed out of his mouth as I expected.

"... that day, my parents were possessed by the devil. I don't know what caused it, and I don't know if it's there in the first place. In the first place, that's what I heard later. It seems that the remnants of the devil were felt from the two bodies, which coincides with the fact that the devil possesses appeared well at times. However, it was sometimes because of the early days as well, before it was still well known. And because of that, it just seemed like our parents had gone crazy all of a sudden."

"So, is that why..."

"Happy or unhappy, he seems to have been a weak demon. Even I could have kept it down at the time."

"Hmm..."

I recall hearing stories of the Virgin not being able to deal with her in time in her early days.

No wonder one of them was Ingrid's parents.

It's just...

"I don't know what else to do."

"Right. Even if it's weak, the devil is the devil. If you leave them alone, you won't know what they saw in this village."

"Right. I'm sure it is. But that's it. And it's also true that I killed my parents with this hand."

"Hmm... I don't feel I need to think separately there... no, speaking of which, did you later find out it was the devil?

"That won't matter. Master Eleonora explained to me that he was a demon, but the reaction of everyone in the village didn't change."

"Mmmm..."

A roaring Hildegard sends his gaze over here.

Soma nodded small at it because she understands what she's trying to say.

But dare not respond to it, but turn your gaze toward Ingrid.

"So now you're being abused, is that it?

"No... you didn't get that far. It was sophisticated and smoked, something like that. Well, that was two years ago. I was also an adult, and I was good enough to say I was the only one in this village. I guess you couldn't have ruled me out for when something happened, and you simply couldn't have done that much evil if you wanted me to get back at you."

"Still, were you smoked? I think it would be normal if I were to retaliate somewhat... but that doesn't look like it?

"... right, now that I think back on it, it's like you didn't think about that with wonder. Well, probably because I was taking care of you here more than that. I still don't think it's particularly resentful. Or, as I said earlier, I take that for granted. But there's no way I can think of revenge."

Ingrid, who said so, wasn't even telling himself, but actually seemed convinced.

Then there's a reason I can say something from Soma.

Hildegard has turned his gaze to say something again, but he still never responded to it.

I just shrug my shoulders.

And just at that time, I heard a voice saying dinner was ready.

I'm pretty hungry because I missed lunch today.

Besides, I just got a paragraph to talk about.

To tell the story further, Soma and the others stood up from the spot and headed for dinner, thinking that the first step would be to fill their bellies.

At the end of the day, I decided to rest early after dinner.

Because each one of us got nothing more than an array to talk about, and we decided that we should act early tomorrow rather than waste time.

The village chief seems to be fast asleep, and the house is completely quiet.

And in the meantime, Soma and Hildegard were gathered in the room given to Soma.

It's not a colorful story, it's to continue the earlier story.

There is nothing more to talk about than an array, which means only with Ingrid.

Talking just the two of us... what we had to talk about existed.

"Well... what do you think that means?

"Well, in the end, let's just say it's the same conclusion we talked about earlier."

"So, there is. I mean, there's something wrong with either the inhabitants of this village or Ingrid..."

It is certain that one of them is strange.

Or both.

Whatever it is, it's not meshing.

According to what Soma and the others heard, the villagers even said they were grateful, rather than smoking about Ingrid.

He was doing something like a caution stick because his arm stood up... and above all, I heard stories about how sorry I was to see him that way, etc.

Well, I didn't even know exactly what that meant, but I somehow found out what Ingrid said because I was listening to it.

But that also means that the villagers are telling the truth.

The same could be said about the handling of Ingrid in this House.

Ingrid's failure to treat village chiefs with particular exceptions would mean that some Ingrids think that village chiefs treated themselves in the same way as other villagers.

But in fact, the room that was no longer used two years ago remains the same.

Besides, just a little but I looked inside and the room looked in good shape.

Considering all that was welcome and all that, it didn't seem very good for the treatment of people who were fumigated.

Above all, at least Soma didn't look like the villagers were lying.

This would mean that Ingrid is perceived incorrectly… but the problem is that it did not seem very so from what Ingrid looked like.

And the difference was that it couldn't be just a little mistake.

So much so that I think there might be a problem with either or both perceptions.

If you dare to limit which is stranger, you should still say Ingrid.

There are differences in numbers, and there are cases of perception of oneself in the Holy Capital.

But I can't say for sure there, because I heard a demon show up here two years ago.

Sometimes that dagger was falling into such a place, or Ingrid feeling something against this village.

Though Soma is not so familiar with the devil, Hildegard said the extent to which this village would change the perception of all the inhabitants would be easy.

In short, it is possible that the devil is doing something in this village.

I don't know what it means to do that.

But there's a chance you just don't understand.

Or it could be that it's the only thing that looks superficial, and there's actually a bigger problem, and so on.

I mean, you know...

"Well, it doesn't change what you do."

"Bye. I didn't know exactly what to look into anyway. I've been doing a lot of research, and I've only been doing two more things."

Of course I should say, Ingrid was wrong in the first place.

But as such, the investigation will need to continue.

Thinking about it is if you look into it and you don't find anything.

At least we shouldn't think about it now, and it's not what happens when we think about it.

Whatever it is, there seems to be a lot to do.

Thought about what I'd done since I woke up tomorrow morning, and first of all, Soma exhaled one thing.
