Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

681 Formerly The Strongest, We'Ll Figure Things Out.

The Somas, who left Ingrid in the basement, decided to continue their investigation without waiting there as it were.

Ingrid's not a kid either, because I thought I should do that more than anything else.

Nevertheless, in the end it is about listening, such as what somas without land exploration can do.

And it's also a matter of deciding what to ask.

In other words, has anything changed here lately?

It would be natural for you to look surprised when you put that in your mouth.

Anyway, I've already asked you the same thing once.

Instead of yesterday today, I am even asking those who have just heard about it, so it is the reaction that is natural.

However, it did not technically mean the exact same question.

I realized that the term "recent" alone differed in the period of time imagined by people, so I made sure to specify a clear period of time.

Even recently, in the last two years, I've decided.

As a result...

"Hmm..."

Tenth case since continuing the investigation.

Soma shrugged one as she looked at the door of the closed house.

Ingrid told me that this village, which is a crossing point on the way to the Holy City, does not do business, especially to visitors.

Although we may sell food, etc. if asked for, it basically means that even if we do it, we only provide sleeping beds.

Moreover, I will take the money at that time, but I will only take the minimum necessary.

Rather than being unwilling to do business, it seems to be the cause in the first place that you can't take it even if you want to take it because the whole country is poor.

Furthermore, because of such circumstances, the number of people who originally went to the Holy City is not so high.

In fact, I didn't see the traveler yesterday and today, basically visiting once every ten days or not, etc.

And this one was heard from the villagers, but because a number of them visited there yesterday, the next ones would not come for a while.

In any case, due to such circumstances, self-sufficiency is fundamental in this village.

The men plow the fields in order not to be strong enough to fight demons, and the women perform internal work, etc., at home.

If it wasn't for that reason that I lived alone with a man, it meant that if I visited the house, there would be someone there, and it was a girl about the same age as the Somas who came out of the house today to cope.

He is also one of those who asked earlier, and Soma recalls the reaction.

First, surprised, then looked surprised, adding the word during the two years, he leaned his neck strangely.

That is exactly the same reaction as in the nine cases so far, including the words of the response that followed.

The girl told me that nothing unusual had happened.

"Is this the tenth time? If you want more accuracy, you should ask everyone around at once... well, you wouldn't have to"

"... I see. Finally, I know what you want to do… No, I know what you were thinking."

"I don't think that's a big deal."

All Soma had in mind was just plausible.

It was a natural question, and enough material was gathered to dispel it.

All you have to do is make a final confirmation.

So it was the house that just came out this morning that Soma and the others headed next.

I mean, it's the village chief's house.

After knocking on the door for a while, the village chief who showed up had a surprise in his face.

"Oh, what's wrong? It's still early at noon... maybe you forgot something?

"No, I've only been able to ask the mayor a few questions."

"Hmmm...? What I want to ask... I hope this old man can help... well, if that's what you mean, here you go."

Having said that, it was the place I was guided with Ingrid yesterday.

The sofa is placed across from each other across from one desk, and the number is at least decorated with condiments, etc.

Though the village chief's house, given that the other rooms are qualitative, they should be the corresponding rooms.

Probably a room for customer service, and I thought it was necessary because of how Soma and the others were doing.

In fact, it was enough to be home away, but it's also enough to dare say no.

As the village chief sat on the couch, the Somas also sat opposite it.

It was the village chief who opened his mouth first.

"So what the hell do you want to ask Non...?

"Hmm, it's not like that, is it? I just want to know if anything's changed here lately."

"... it"

So the village chief looked puzzled, probably because this question had already been addressed to the village chief as well.

The reaction is slightly different from that of the other villagers because they are only slightly more face-to-face than the other villagers, and the meaning put in there is the same.

Though he understands it, Soma doesn't care to continue the words.

"If I may be more precise, the phrase will be added to this question over the last two years."

"In the last two years...?

And from there on forward, the village chief's reaction was the same as that of the other villagers.

And when I leaned my neck strangely...

"Hmm... Still, the answer to Nong doesn't change. Nothing in particular."

"Is that so..."

To that answer, Soma exhaled one breath.

But it's not a sigh, it's a relief.

as expected, rather because otherwise we would have been in trouble.

"I see... apparently it's a decision"

"So, there is."

"Decided, is it...? Um, is something wrong? I'm still a village chief and so on... I'd like to know if I can."

Soma shrugged her shoulders at the village chief, who said so and looked anxiously at her.

Because really, it's not a big deal.

"What, my whole life just remembered a few questions. If two different testimonies exist for one thing, what does that mean?"

In short, it was about what Ingrid and the village chiefs were saying being eaten differently.

Only Ingrid is testifying on one side, and all the villagers on the other.

Besides, we were talking and I realized that apparently Ingrid has even forgotten that he got a welcome yesterday.

On the contrary, there are even verses that I remember as something else.

I don't know what that means, but it's only true that it's very likely that Ingrid's testimony is wrong, even if we leave it at first.

"But, well, I thought,"

"Who decides to guarantee that one of us is right? You look like you at all..."

"I think they're saying something rude? Nothing. Is that normal?

It's not a question of choice on the form.

Where there were two choices, no one can guarantee that one of them is right.

The possibility that they're both wrong is quite possible.

"One moment, please. What does that mean? If Yayano and the others..."

"By the way, Lord Murakami, I could only ask you one more thing... remember how long ago it was before Ingrid's parents became demon-possessed?

"Yes? Suddenly what... yeah, no matter what I remember. It's been exactly two years since I've had it."

It seems that after coming that far, the village chief finally realized their mistake.

Soma shrugs her shoulders again as she opens her eyes to amazement.

Yes, there is no such thing as nothing unusual in two years.

Or, in the first place, I don't remember Soma limiting himself to a story in this village from the beginning.

It's no wonder some people think that, but still, it wouldn't be possible for them to all, etc.

And there's something going on all over the world, like every day, and here, one of the closest settlements to the Holy Capital, such information should come naturally in.

This is not another possibility, such as no one mentioning it.

But I didn't think that Soma was keeping his mouth shut.

I'm just wondering if that's true for 'em'.

"Well, from you, it must be the feeling that there was really nothing two years ago, or more recently. Whatever."

- Sword Reason, Dragon God Protection, Regular Battlefield, Sign Detection Class: Surprise Invalid.

- Sword Reason, God Killer, Dragon Killer, Dragon God Protection, Absolute Amputation, Massacre Sword: The Devil's Tail Knife.

Moments later, the wall behind him blew up with the roar, but something looming misted before it reached the Somas.

Soma, who pulled out his sword in a sitting position, shrugs like he was impressed by the ho.

Shortly afterwards, the front wall was smashed through, and the village chief... no, something 'owed' the village chief was escaping from it.

"Moving on to escape the moment you realize that the situation is unfavourable... that's not a bad judgment. Well, I wonder if it's honest to break someone else's."

"Not if I'm telling you, right? Let's get the hell out of here. I don't want to be buried alive or anything.... No, I don't think it's too bad to think I'm with you...?

"Don't give me that crap. Let's just get out of here. I'm more sorry to the village chief than to bury him alive."

Although there are still no signs that the house will collapse, there is no reason to hesitate to do so.

Because a hole just felt good in the rear, the Somas decided to head out of there quickly.

"Hmm... I thought there might be a pursuit, but it wasn't particularly true."

"Couldn't you... Or maybe they didn't think it was necessary, something like that"

As he went outside, Hildegard sighed out with those words as he looked around him, probably out of awe.

Soma agreed.

"If you think you can handle it to this extent, you've been licked for a long time."

"It's splendid to be able to say how strong you are, but I think you should be a little more calm. Well, I'm not going to let that happen when I surrender."

If you turned your gaze to your voice, did you go ahead or there was a village chief figure there?

And around it, there are several shadows, and those faces are all familiar.

The inhabitants of this village were there to surround the Somas.

"Hmm... Well, it's true that there are more people there..."

I'm not surprised by the sight.

Rather, when it is established that the village chief is alle, it is as expected.

I looked over and I could tell you that I didn't have anything more than I assumed.

So maybe it's a threat if you think about it normally.

"- What the hell is this...?

And, now that I was wondering what was going on, a new figure appeared on the spot.

Moving his gaze toward you, what he saw in his sight was Ingrid with a stunned look on his face.

I look at this one with a glimpse, but gradually the colour of convincing begins to float on its face.

"... well. This means... that's what this is all about. The whole village was possessed by demons?"

If you're going to draw a conclusion in the end, that's what happened.

Perhaps they had a demon in their possession before the Somas came here.

The only thing I've never found out is that I've been so well hidden.

Neither Soma nor Hildegard could have felt such signs at first.

Nevertheless, I have some thoughts about it, but for now it is only after returning to the Holy City.

More than that, now...

"Is it also because of what was wrong with everyone in the village? That's right... even if everyone in the village is nice to me..."

"Hmm... I'm sorry that I'm playing a little play, but can you keep it around? - I'm tired of watching monkey plays."

The moment I said it, Ingrid's movements stopped.

No... of 'Sole', should I say?

"Sole" puts a bigger stunned look on its face than earlier, and turns his gaze this way even though he doesn't know what he's talking about... but he realized that it doesn't make sense to do that.

"... how did you know?

The consternation remained intact, but with a grin on his mouth, Sole uttered such words.
