Even Regressors Don’t Know-2
The Heretic Questioner
They represent the will of the god of light and the temple, and are agents who represent and catch demons and figures of the unclean church.
The magic executioner that Leonardo had previously done was also a prototype of the Heretic Questioner, and was an expert and veteran in exterminating demons and demons.
The reason why they came to the Reinhardt family was because they were concerned about the occurrence of demons due to the vampire crisis and to find out who was behind them.
Originally, the magic executioners and professional wizards were supposed to come together the next morning, but for some reason, they arrived earlier than the scheduled time.
“Where is the saint?”
The heretic questioner who came was a typical structure of a team consisting of a total of two people, an experienced teacher and a disciple who cultivated strength under him.
However, the people who have come here are not typical.
‘…A mortician and a beheader…’
Gellerweed the undertaker and Charlian the beheader
As you can tell just by hearing their names, they were different from the regular Heretic Questioners.
The Undertaker Gallowed was a divine expert who had been catching demons without a break for 10 years in the short-lived job of the Heretic Questioner.
Sharlian the Beheader was his daughter, and was originally a paladin escort for Lumine.
After Ariasviel became a hero, he was converted from an escort to a Heretic Questioner, and was a talent called Rookie.
It wasn’t strange that a bigwig would come because the case was an incident, but even considering that, interrogators of considerable rank had arrived here.
“Saint Lumine is currently in the hospital room of Leonardo’s knight. He said he would just replenish it in case the potion runs out.”
Before Lumine went to Leonardo’s hospital room, he said that he would replenish holy water and potions in advance, and headed towards the locker in the hospital room.
This was Lumine’s own insurance in case Leonardo became seriously ill again or showed a phenomenon similar to runaway.
“…Are you taking the saint for that purpose?”
Sharlian opened her eyes like a sharp blue ax blade and glared at Reinhardt’s family.
What was visible in his eyes was not a cold emotion like coolness or cool-headedness. What I felt in the tone was a clear sense of displeasure.
‘…Lumine-sama…’
It was speculated that her attitude, who was Lumine’s former escort paladin, was due to her feelings.
“…Using the expression ‘purpose’ for a person is a bit jarring. Charlian Inquisitor.”
The lord, Gladio, noticed such malice, and did not easily overlook it. Because I couldn’t afford to care about personal feelings like that in a chaotic yard.
“I’m sorry. Since it doesn’t seem to fit the role of an adult, I end up using the expression “Purpose.”
It’s like an apology, but on the other hand, it was a sarcastic remark about Reinhardt’s behavior and scratching the inside.
Actually, the replenishment of the potion and holy water was done voluntarily by Lumine even though Reinhardt did not say it, but it was a fact that Charlian, who was full of jealousy, would not enter at all.
“…Come in first and let’s talk.”
At least that level of action was necessary for a smooth conversation.
***
Fortunately, there were no casualties on the side of the allies in the last incident.
The number of injured was well over 100, but in fact, that was a great deal.
Not other demons, but an enemy called Vampires, who were close to the worst enemy in terms of large armies, and an army that could endure like that at night was difficult to see even in the Royal Knights.
If the infection spreads even once, it could lead to a catastrophic massacre of all the people around.
“I’m glad. Are you sure there are no infected people among the wounded?”
“Yes, I am periodically injecting it with holy water in a sunny place, so even if I get infected, there is little risk of becoming a vampire.”
Thanks to the presence of Leo and Rios, who are capable of telepathy, we were able to organize the situation in perfect order and flexibly respond to tactics.
Thanks to the existence of the hero, the master of divine power, and the adults Arya and Lumine, there was no problem in dealing with vampires and ghouls.
Above all, thanks to Lumine, many victims were able to avoid becoming vampires and ghouls.
“What happened to the senate?”
“All were executed. Because he took off his human skin and chose the body of a blood demon, there was no other way than to kill him.”
All of the Senators became vampires, except for Jayron, who died of old age as much as he was seduced by suggestion.
The corpses of the senators who became vampires turned to ashes as soon as they were exposed to sunlight. Of course, Mary Lamia, her ringleader, was the same.
“…To be clear, we are not here to express our condolences over this unfortunate situation.”
Geller Weed, the mortician, brought out his words with a firm tone to draw a line from the beginning of the conversation.
“It is an unprecedented case for the family of Reinhardt, a warrior family, to use the family to become a vampire and attack. It must have been rare enough to appear in the history books.”
That was a disgraceful fact that everyone in Reinhardt knew.
During times of war, it was often tempting to take the wrong force out of desperation for the temptation of force or death.
However, it was unprecedented enough to say that this was the first time that the senators, who should have supported the family more than anyone else, raided the banquet of the main family and collateral branches in such shameful covetousness for strength and youth.
“That’s why we came here to do our job as Heretic Questioners. I will do a thorough investigation. Even if it means getting Reinhardt angry.”
“…I see.”
Gladio was making a bitter expression. Sighs came out in succession, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned downward, as if to materialize the difficulties he was experiencing.
“To make one thing clear on our side, we have no intention of forgetting or hiding this disgrace. Obviously, this situation happened because my judgment was set back, and it is something Reinhardt must remember and reflect on.”
Gladio comes to mind. He still didn’t quite believe it, to be honest.
A mercenary boy who came in as a squire when he was young is actually a regressor well over 90 years old,
He did not know that he was so pitiful and helpless to die,
Reinhardt’s mere collapse in the Senate’s political battle,
But don’t deny it. Because there was a possibility that the same thing would appear in another form by neglecting mistakes and the past.
“I beg you to investigate thoroughly. Even from now on, Reinhardt will change.”
Like that, Gladio, as the head of the house, made a request full of determination. It was no different from an oath not to show the same soft behavior as before his return.
“…Then bring Knight Leonardo.”
However, the Heretic Questioner Charlian spoke to the head of the house with a rough attitude, perhaps because that kind of feeling didn’t reach her.
“…Sorry, Knight Leonardo is seriously injured…”
“Is anyone here uninjured? He had already heard that he had recovered his sanity.”
This was clearly rude. Others suffered serious injuries as well, but Leonardo was the most serious.
Because the stomach itself was pierced and the internal organs were ruptured, it could have been an instant death.
I wonder if that’s all, Leonardo’s heart must be complicated now. He’s a fake, but he kills a being that looks just like his mother with his own hands, and he doesn’t know what his mother is like.
“Why do you say that? Charlene.”
Lumine also fired at Charlian, a former escort paladin, with a rare calm attitude. When Lumine, an adult, said that, Charlian also replied with a more relaxed attitude.
“…I think there must be an insider in this case.”
At her words of growing up, her whole body looked at her sharply. It was the same with her father, Gellerweed.
This is completely different from the conversation I had planned.
“…Calm down. That is still speculation.”
“…What does it have to do with the snitch and calling Knight Leonardo?”
The Reinhardt family, as well as Lumine, were offended by those words.
The difference was that the Reinhardt family, and especially Ariasviel, did not hide their hostility in their words and actions.
“Leonardo, of course, because he is the most likely candidate for snitch.”
With just one word, one sentence, the atmosphere in the Reinhardt family suddenly changed.
Just a moment ago, there was no gentleness to humbly accept the family’s shame and mistakes, and they were reacting hostilely to those who insulted their benefactor.
“Can you hear why…?”
“…Let me explain.”
As if he couldn’t help it, Gallowed began to explain. Maybe you’d better get out of luck now.
It would be nice to hear the opinions of the Reinhard family in the absence of Leonardo himself.
“I just want you to keep in mind that we want to keep all possibilities open.”
“…For something like that, it seems like you’re full of confidence.”
Aryaspil looked at Charlian and said. Charlian responded to him without avoiding Ariasviel’s eyes.
“Does Hero Ariaspil believe in the knight Leonardo?”
“Yes, there is no reason for that, and I am not the kind of person to do that.”
Above all, it was a fact that had already been proven by regression, and also proven by his conduct and efficiency thus far.
There was no benefit gained from becoming a demon or a warlock or colluding with one another. Rather, the thread was large.
“…If you find the reason, it will come out. That would be a blank look.”
But to the Heretic Questioner, it was a fact that they didn’t even know exactly, and couldn’t.
Because there was no way to find out, no clear justification.
“Leonardo Knight has been training at the Mage Tower for the past four years, performing various magics and making many achievements.”
That was true.
The creation of unique magic, which is already proof of the archmage, was proof of practice,
Because contributing to finding all of the sage’s legacy was proof of achievement.
Even that was part and parcel of Leonardo’s work.
However, as the words came from the Heretic Questioner’s mouth, it was clear that they weren’t meant to be praised.
“…Does that matter?”
“Isn’t that strange? Some of them are bizarrely talented and have many achievements.”
I did more than that.
Because it was natural.
The sage himself, called the godfather of magic, was openly helping, and Leonardo had the peculiarity of being a regressor in the first place.
That level should be strange, but it was realistic.
“And the Mage Tower is one of the groups with the most Warlocks. So…”
“That’s pretty offensive. Then, since I learned magic at the Mage Tower, can I become a warlock?”
Rios kept her slit eyes open and, like her axe eye earlier, Rios held her spirit down with her eyes.
Those words were an insult to the wizards of the Mage Tower and to the god of pure love.
“…It’s just speculation. But there are plenty of possibilities. There is a possibility that he was instigated by a black magician rather than being himself.”
Saying that, Charlian silently looked at Lumine. The fact that he, who was no different from her own idol, was being dragged around by her warrior like that, was actually an unpleasant reality for her.
Even so, he now had to work as a heretic inquisitor. That way she’ll be more likely to come back to him.
“Above all, I already know that the knight Leonardo attacked you out of control.”
“…That’s because I was hit by a ritual circle and a magic eye…”
“Then he is a person who is lacking as a knight of the brave. If he was a holy paladin, he could have endured enough.”
It was an exhilarating statement.
If there is a human who can cut his mother and still keep her sanity, it would be an antisocial psychopath.
In addition, Mary Lamia’s Mystic Eye manifests mental contamination that even an ordinary paladin cannot withstand.
Perhaps these people would have suffered if it had not been for Reinhardt’s blood.
“… First of all, calm down. I didn’t come here for this.”
Gellerweed sighed and tried to sort things out. In this situation, the relationship only got worse.
“First of all, we will wait until the mage from the Mage Tower arrives. It doesn’t seem like you’re in a situation to meet Knight Leonardo right now.”
“…I’m glad you’re aware. Let me show you to your room.”
Clearing his boiling anger, Gladio opened his mouth.
“…Please make a reasonable judgment based on clear evidence, rather than guessing based on what you see.”
“…Always trying to do that.”
So they headed to the assigned room according to the guidance of the attendant.
The reason the Reinhardt family held back their anger was not because they were not angry at Leonardo’s insult. However, if they vent their anger here, their suspicions will surely be negatively aggravated.
That’s why proving their thoughts exactly wrong was the way to receive an apology more surely than when the wizards came.
But.
Grab… Plop… Clink!!!
“Ainnim!!”
The situation was bad for me to use that method. More than anything else, they brought it on themselves.
“It’s okay.”
Ain kept his expressionless face despite falling over and pieces of hot soup and bowls falling on top of him.
Rather than that, what the girl was looking at was Leonardo’s overturned meal. Even if there was no pain, it was a pity that the warm soup and milk my father had prepared for me when I was hungry were spilled.
“I’m sorry.”
The Heretic Questioners said that and went their own way. He just apologized to Ain who fell down and left.
“Isn’t that too much…!? Even if Ain-nim suddenly appeared…! The child fell over…!!”
“Baby?”
At the words of the maid who hurriedly raised Ain, the undertaker Geller Weed opened his cold eyes and said. It was a completely different gaze from Reinhardt’s home.
“A child is used for humans, and before that, for living things.”
In an tone as if despising the existence of demihumans.
“Does Reinhardt allow a familiar to imitate a human? I don’t understand. There is no reason to think that you are a child to a pseudo-spirit that is not even human.”
Galawid, the Heretic Questioner, had such a concept. Originally, to the Heretic Questioner, it was a discriminatory remark that could have come out because he was obsessed with the old idea that non-human races are heretical.
“That makes sense.”
Kwaaang…!!
A gust of wind rages. A storm of divinity and aura so strong that they shuddered momentarily.
“Very striking words.”
Ain’s mother was there.
“I really want to get hit, so I only choose crazy words.”
The hero, Ariaspil, said so.
“I also respect the elderly only for people.”
The blade of the holy sword glowed with a sad blue color depending on the day.
“Do you want to be like the senate?”
Iraa’s eyes were more than that.
