I lightly kicked the man on the ground .
I kicked him making him front face up . It’s just a corpse . Nothing has changed in particular .
『This is the cause of what changed him after all』
Eleanor said . I’m still holding the dark thing using the aura arm .
There is no doubt that this is the cause that made the man strange .
「Delfina, gather all of your subordinates here」
「What are you planning to do?」
「I’ll clean them up . It doesn’t matter what you’re going to do, but you won’t be at ease if things like this are around right?」
「……I understood」
Delfina made a very unwilling look, and left the room .
After a while, I’m called out to the building’s inner yard .
It’s a beautiful garden, said to be used for business discussion .
The design and minor details are different here and there, but it somehow made me reminiscent of the Japanese garden pavilion .
In there were many men and women, lined up properly although making some noise .
「We have kept you waiting」
「Everyone’s here huh」
「Yes . Please take care of us」
「Alright . Let’s do it, Eleanor」
『Oi, wait a second, you, don’t tell me……』
「Yeah」
I grinned, raising the corner of my lips .
「It’s too troublesome doing it one by one . I’ll do it all at once」
『As I’ve thought, huh . Really, you’re saying it so easily』
「I’m saying it because it’s you」
『I don’t need your obvious flattery』
Although she’s saying that, Eleanor doesn’t seem like she felt bad about it .
『Well then, let’s do it』
「Yeah」
I lightly placed my hand on Eleanor, took deep breaths, and concentrated my consciousness .
I gathered up the Demon Sword’s power from deep inside my body, and released it outside .
The buzzing noise increased .
It’s because I shot out the Demon Sword’s aura at once, filling the venue, and enveloped everyone .
I imagined . The power that I created during Xiphos’s time, a power that almost doesn’t have offensive powers, a power that would only grasp the evil or dark things from their body .
I covered all of Delfina’s subordinates with that, and “lifted” them up .
There are near a hundred people who gathered, and I was able to grasp dark things from three people .
After those ones who were lifted up collapsed to the ground, they did not move an inch .
On the other hand, those ones who did not know what is going on got more and more noisier .
Delfina came to my side .
「Thank you very much, Kakeru-sama」
After saying that, she looked at the thing I grabbed, and narrowed her eyebrows .
「To think that we were this infiltrated……if Kakeru-sama were not around, it would have been disastrous」
「Really? You look like you would’ve done something about it」
「I would have done something about it」
Delfina said with a serious face .
「It would have been impossible finding them beforehand . It would’ve been impossible to understand the cause of the event, and those three would’ve been confined or disposed of」
「I see」
Well, the measure would’ve been like that .
「And to think that it would have been resolved in this manner……I can only say that it is as expected of Kakeru-sama」
『Or rather, it’s my powers though』
Eleanor claimed inside of me .
「Even so……these three」
Looking at the three who have collapsed, Delfina’s eyebrows moved .
「Do you have something in mind?」
「Just one thing……it includes the man from earlier」
That guy who attacked Delfina huh .
「All of them, they are people who were in Malonei up until yesterday」
「Malonei……your town huh」
「Yes . These two are Delfina faction’s official . They are stationed in Malonei . The other one, I have sent her for a different case」josei
「What’s that, Delfina faction?」
「I have bought Malonei, but nominally, it is still Aegina Kingdom’s territory . That’s why, there are officials sent by the kingdom’s side who doesn’t have authority, and officials that I appointed who actually holds authority . The former is called Kingdom faction, and the latter is called Delfina faction」
「It has gotten complicated huh」
「That is one way to call it」
「Well, whatever . Anyways……in short, everyone has something to do with Malonei, huh」
「Yes . And, Neora’s father, he is currently in Malonei」
「Now that you mention it . What about that man who attacked you earlier?」
「On the day before yesterday, on another matter」
「I see」
If they’re all that similar, then there’s no mistaking it .
「Something’s happening in Malonei」
「Yes . Most probably, something that had started in Aegina」
「……」
I looked at the dark thing that I’m still holding .
This hasn’t started in Aegina, this thing was also in Comotoria . It had already appeared in Comotoria before Aegina .
Either way, there’s no proof that one in Aegina is the same thing that was in Comotoria .
『It’s the same thing』
Eleanor said with confidence . I also think so .
It’s not logic . This feeling passing through the Demon Sword saying that it’s the same thing .
That, those two are the same thing .
「How far is it from here?」
「Kakeru-sama, are you saying……?」
I nodded .
「I’ll go to Malonei」
In Malonei……in Aegina, something is happening .
Aura, Iris, Neora, and Delfina .
For the sake of my women, it looks like there’s a need for me to go in person and resolve it all at once .
