Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

600 The Uncertain Truth

Another week or so has passed since then.

But so far, Hildegard has not been able to get any new information.

Never even fought a demon before.

It was for that reason that I inadvertently exhaled my sigh.

"Mmmm... it feels so itchy..."

Whatever you think, this situation is strange.

What's wrong is that there hasn't been any movement in the past week.

There are no more people from all the villages that exist around the king's capital, and that's where it ends.

I don't know what it means to do that in the first place... but whatever it is, there is no use for the King's Capital.

That means someone is intentionally causing this situation, but you can't just come this far and not admit it.

Because nothing happened for a week and nothing can be found, we have no choice but to make that decision.

If you look around with that in mind, what's there is a sight that seems idle and seemingly long.

It is a sight I have become accustomed to seeing in many ways, but there is only one Hildegard there now, because Lars and Helen are in the midst of taking a break.

Though nothing has happened, it is not surprising when or what has happened among the obvious anomalies.

I become naturally and constantly concerned, and I am naturally tired if that is the case during 46: 00.

There are still strange stretches between the two of them, so it's all the more flattering.

But tension nerves are expensive, which makes it hard to notice such fatigue.

Maybe if we let it go, we'll keep trying till we're on the verge of falling.

Although that attitude is preferable, it would be problematic if it were just in the middle of an investigation.

For this reason, from time to time, they are forced to rest.

And when it comes to Lina...

"Hmmm... as usual, I can't find anything..."

And he just came back while I was saying it.

It would be a problem to say that you two are resting, but no one is keeping an eye on your surroundings.

Basically alternating, but this watch was Hildegard, and Lina was going to see what was going on around her.

But as you can see from that dialogue, I still couldn't find anything this time.

"If we don't find this far, we'll have no choice. Honestly, I'm giving up."

…… Then why are you still investigating?

"I can't find anything, but it's almost certain that something will happen. It's more about capturing the precursor than investigating."

"I see.... Is that it? But if so, why didn't you say so? When I look at the precursors, I think what I look at will change again."

"If you tell those two about it, you can see them trying harder, right? Conversely, in the case of the Lord, you don't have to tell him that, but if you need anything, you can feel it."

"Should I consider this to be trusted or thrown round... I feel like I can't say anything..."

"You just have to interpret the neighborhood the way the Lord likes it."

If, by the way, you say the answer, you're both right.

I trust you enough to believe that's possible, and that's why I throw round.

However, if I were to say one way or the other, for the sake of discernment, the reason would be greater -

"Mm-hmm... then you're going to think you're trusted. I thought I was watching a lot of things."

"What? You didn't find anything, did you?

"I didn't find it, but I thought of it, or I noticed it."

"Hmm? What are you doing?

"Isn't this a strange situation?

That was too much of a story now.

It is a matter of understanding.

But I guess that's not why.

It must have meant that she realized something she hadn't noticed before, and if she urged ahead with her gaze, Lina continued her words after one snort.

"We haven't fought a demon in a week."

"Um, right... is that it?

"It doesn't matter what you think, it's impossible. No, if you think about it, we haven't encountered any demons on the move since we joined the deans. Except for the whole shadow eater thing...... which is why it's extra weird. I can't believe how many walks outside the village you don't encounter with the whole demon thing..."

"............ I see. Sure, if you ask me."

As a matter of course, such things as demon-sheltered junctions are not something that can be laid so widely.

No, on the contrary, there are many places you can't put up in the first place, and basically if you're at village level, you should have more things you're not putting up.

It would be the same thing in the vicinity of the king's capital, but it wasn't actually tensioned.

If it is also outside the village, it goes without saying.

And demons are, for the most part, everywhere.

The only thing that doesn't exist is some territory that burns down from one end that emerges.

Of course, not here.

Indeed, the information conveyed as the starting point of this case is that there are fewer demons.

There's a good chance it's happening here.

But if the information is correct, it's only getting less.

Even if it is not as frequent as usual, it means that we have encountered demons.

Then it's not an unnatural story not to encounter a demon while traveling between the village and the village, or when you're investigating the area around the village.

"... well, it was too unusual to notice, but the situation itself is unlikely that only the villagers are gone while the village is beautiful in the first place"

"It is. It's not strange to think that it was the shadow eater... but it's impossible that there's not even any sign of a demon breaking in afterwards."

Demonic forms of thought are not very different from those of animals if people are not involved.

But because of this, it is unlikely that we will not go to a place that suddenly became a blank zone.

But if it's about three days, I don't know yet.

But even two weeks have passed since the investigation began.

Even so, it is inconceivable that we have not visited the whole thing yet, and if we did, there will always be traces of it.

The absence of it means that, even though it is unthinkable, it has not actually been visited.

If you think about it that way...... there is only one conclusion.

"There's no such thing as a demon around here."

"Yes. It's impossible if it's normal..."

- Power.

For once, on the contrary, every time I pass the back of my brain, it's something I've denied, but if there's even one, this situation comes with an explanation.

No, you can already say otherwise.

I was starting to think that might be the only thing these days... but apparently that's pretty much definitive.

Totally...

"It's no trouble, it's something I wouldn't want to think about if I could..."

"You are..."

Simply being able to manipulate demons is also a hassle, but honestly not so much in itself.

Whether manipulated or not, it is because demons cannot transcend the boundaries.

As a matter of fact, that is also a part of the use of power, so where power was used to manipulate demons, it is not something that can be managed.

Especially those stretched out on the King's Capital are powerful.

Depending on how it's done, the Wang Capital people may get somewhat confused, but still it won't be more than a hassle.

So what's really troublesome is that Hildegard may not be able to do everything he can to the other person who would have that power.

The dragon is not a demon, but it is also close if seen from the world, and the dragon man is no exception.

Because of this, you may not be manipulated, but there is a good chance of some interference.

In fact, Hildegard is somewhat affected by the demon-sheltering junction, and within the junction of the King's capital, his abilities fall by roughly 50%.

If that opponent were to get the same degree of interference, it would be quite a bad thing to be honest.

Most of all, depending on who you're dealing with, it wouldn't matter if Lina were here... Okay.

"I just found that out, though, and it doesn't seem like there's anything I can do right now..."

"So... I'll let you know, is that about it?

"Bye. I don't know what's going to happen, so Sophia said she didn't detect demons at the same time as the heat of power, but you should tell her to do it in this situation. That's going to capture the precursor as it is.... If I had detected it from the beginning, I might have noticed it right away, but I can't tell you that."

If there's a problem, one.

I mean, how do you explain that?

Because the people of this world should not know what power is.

Whether it's seven heavens or something, it's not going to change.

To Alexis, who is only the king of the emerging world, is an outrage.

I guess I'll have to explain there somehow though...... one question arises here.

- Lina obviously means she knows about power.

It goes with what the demon said earlier, otherwise Tsuji too often doesn't fit.

Because Lina's statement presupposes that, no matter what she thinks.

But how did you know that?

I also know Soma about power, or Hildegard taught me, but I just won't be talking to my sister though.

I don't even think there was such a time between teaching it in the first place and Soma disappearing.

That means Lina taught it from someone other than Soma, or from someone else.

"Well... whatever it is, it doesn't change what we do for now."

"It is. You do your best to investigate so your brother can come back in peace!

From what I've said and done, it just seems like the usual Lina - apparently, that's what makes it no mistake.

Hildegard's eyes narrowed and he gazed at Lina and exhaled his little breath.
