The theater was engulfed in bewilderment and confusion.
“Aren’t they Amerians?”
“Was it a disguise? But why?”
It was because the woman’s brown skin, which had looked like Amer a while ago, turned white when the prince touched it.
The woman reflected on the screen was an ordinary, no, beautiful iron-blooded woman no matter where you looked.
“Then what is the author’s intention… … ?”
Everyone in the theater took it for granted that they were trying to get revenge on the Sangvis who destroyed their people. However, now that it has been revealed that they were not actually Amerians, that possibility is completely lost.
Then there is only one possibility left to think about.
A slander against the only remaining Amerians.
It was an attack on Mustafa, who had already been imprisoned and had begun to be interrogated.
“… … Didn’t you say it couldn’t be?”
Mustafa, who was being interrogated with both hands bound, opened his mouth.
“All Amerians have been annihilated except for me.”
“Ha, but isn’t there a possibility that it will remain? Then you and the insider of the knight academy… … .”
“The annihilation of the Amerians was done by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Do you think what’s left is acceptable?”
Mustafa muttered annoyedly and twisted his bound wrists. And when I gave strength, it was cut off at once and became a free body.
“What cannot exist does not exist.”
Showing his free hand, Mustafa declared. No one raised an objection to the statement borrowing the name of the emperor, and he mumbled and eventually agreed.
“… … .”
Mustafa turned his head to look at the corps commander, Alexei, behind him.
“I wanted to have my own people left, but it turned out to be a pity, Mustafa.”
Alexey gave a terribly sarcastic look at the cold eyes that seemed to ask what he was up to. Mustafa did not respond to Alexei’s words and quietly turned his head away.
Alexei looked at the screen quietly. At first glance, with a slight smile on his face, he seemed satisfied with the students who did an excellent job capturing the outsider.
‘If I’m going to wear a disguise, I’ll do it properly. How crude it is!’
Inside, I was pouring out terribly annoyed. At best, it was insane, but the fact that there was no return left was very unpleasant.
“… … Interesting.”
Everyone in the theater was preoccupied with different thoughts, so no one heard the emperor muttering in a very low voice.
* * *
Eugene’s water is endowed with the property of ‘Dispel’.
It is a nullification ability that the main character often possesses.
Even in the original work, this trait played a big part in the fact that Eugene, who had just come to realize magical powers, was able to play an active part in the knight academy.
Of course, after the middle of the work, there are not many characters who can easily be dispelled, so the light fades, but even so, it is undoubtedly a useful ability.
“It was wiped clean. Does that kid even have the ability to spray lotion?”
Because I was able to completely remove this woman’s disguise in one shot.
“… … Is it like that?”
It seems that Eugene has not yet noticed his ability. He slightly shook his head in denial.
In the original work, Eugene was passionate about developing magical powers, but now he is only doing swordsmanship, so he might not know. Maybe I inculcated a bad habit.
“With this, even the high-ranking people who are watching here must have come to know your true identity. Parabellum’s cousin.”
“It’s difficult to find out that you’re not Amerian.”
The woman answered, returning the gun to her waist as if she had abandoned her will to fight me. Since I had already figured out that I could kill myself if I wanted to, further fighting seemed pointless and judgmental.
“But there will be no sound. Because the high-pitched sound destroyed the transmission device.”
“… … indeed.”
It was because of Wiburn and Arianne.
‘Did you design all of that?’
Arianne might not know it, but Wiburn has connections in Parabellum. Suspicions arose that he might have staged this situation in advance.
No, maybe it was from the change of the rules of the Colosseum to the initiative of Parabellum. Currently, the impact they can have on Sangvis is enormous.
“What a big stir it would be if it was revealed that the person who killed four students belonged to Parabellum. I don’t know if everything will be purged and the end will come. Isn’t it?”
“Not everyone wants to suspect Parabellum. Even if I convey the conversation here, it won’t change much. Wouldn’t it be enough to just check it out?”
The woman calmly refuted my threat.
“… … I know that much. I was going to stir it up, but it doesn’t work.”
What the woman said was true. Right now, even the commander of the corps and the chancellor are friendly to Parabellum and do not want to be hostile to their power.
No matter how much I, the crown prince, raise questions, there is a high probability that nothing will change. It is natural that there are immediate interests and interests at stake.
“Well, I may be throwing away words, but I mean.”
The woman sighed and sat down. Then, as he touched his collarbone, which was almost black from being bruised blue, he let out an aya, ayaya, and a faint moan.
“… … Eugene. bring me fromm Tarius should know the location. No, just send Tarius. you are there.”
I started to get annoyed and approached the building and ordered Eugene, who was on guard.
“Isn’t Fromm a child with healing powers? You don’t have to be so kind.”
“Don’t be mistaken. Have you ever heard of overtreatment? It makes you feel what it feels like to grow up and rot while alive.”
“No, there is no need to bother.”
The woman shook her hand and said. It was calm enough to not feel the real sense that this side was threatening him. It seems as if there is no such thing as a sense of crisis.
“If it’s a story you want to hear, I’ll do what I can. If you delay bringing something like that, you won’t even hear what you want to hear?”
“… … .”
After a bit of thought, I winked at Tarius, who was looking nervously at me. You’ll need Fromm to heal Tarius’ injuries anyway, so you’ll need to bring him. Tarius nodded as if he understood my meaning and quickly left.
“Then let me ask you a question first. I don’t want to do anything nasty in front of everyone, so judge for yourself.”
“Be scared too. You say people have improved, but the cruel side is still the same.”
“I just learned to distinguish between those who should be treated cruelly and those who are not.”
I approached the woman. Then, just in case, he aimed at the loaded Beretragna.
“I’ll tell you a few things in particular about Parabellum, which you’ve been wanting to know so much.”
“… … It’s as if he’s eager to talk.”
The woman spoke first before I even asked a question. I’m annoyed at this situation where I don’t feel the initiative. I wanted to put a bullet in my thigh to break the habit, but I stopped because I didn’t want the story dragging on because of the pain.
“Parabellum, what is your purpose?”
“That’s a question that’s hard to answer simply.”
The woman sighed.
“There are so many things we are doing right now. But fundamentally, it exists for one purpose.”
“So I asked what it was.”
“Tell me without pressing. That is, recognizing our existence.”
I frowned at the appearance of a fairly abstract concept. It was far from seizing the real power of Iron Blood or trying to become a pioneer of a new era.
It was a goal like that of an adolescent child.
“Those who were not permitted to exist even though they were created by God. That is our Parabellum.”
“… … It’s ridiculous. Was it a trivial religious group, you guys?”
No, rather than puberty, it was middle school two. I was dumbfounded by the completely different nonsense from what I was expecting.
“It’s not like that. Well, it’s not like there aren’t some religiously minded idiots out there.”
The woman smiled and replied.
“Your existence is already in Sangvis Sangvis, so it’s not something we can ignore. Isn’t it recognized enough to get sick of it? I don’t understand. Your existence is already clear.”
“Ugh. It’s hard to explain… … . What should I say about this?”
The woman chose her words, raising her eyebrows as if in a rare embarrassment.
“We basically have no choice but to be secretive.”
“what?”
And again he said something incomprehensible.
“That is our limit. You can never be the main character.”
“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
“I’ve done that over and over again.”
The story doesn’t progress. Was the form of the question bad? I hope fromm will come soon.
“But it is different now. We are given a chance So, to make it come true, we can make any sacrifice.”
“Aren’t you just talking about catching floating clouds? I don’t want to hear such fanciful stories.”
“… … Then I will ask you a question here.”
“You don’t listen to people even if you die.”
Is the broken clavicle hurting so much that he is going into delirium? Although Eugene’s water magic possesses dispel, he is not good at healing and cannot even perform first aid. I wish I had Caspal.
“What magical power do you think I have?”
“Isn’t it like a disguise or transformation?”
Considering that it was canceled by dispel, it must be so. But the woman shook her head.
“no.”
“Then what? I have no intention of making jokes.”
“This may sound like a joke, but I have nothing.”
The woman looked up at me with a sad smile.
“I don’t have the right settings.”
It was a very meta comment that I never thought anyone would hear.
From noble mtl dot com
“… … setting? What do you mean? Tell me more.”
Embarrassed, I questioned the woman again. The woman chuckled.
“Then goodbye. My scenario seems to have ended here.”
And he stuck out his tongue in a teasing way. A small magic stone was placed on the tongue.
“My name is Anastasia. It was really nice to meet you. thank you.”
After speaking with a smile, the woman chewed on the magic stone with a loud sound——.
“Wait, what… … !”
Quaang!
just exploded
“… … Damn it.”
It wasn’t a big explosion. It was just enough to destroy one person’s body.
The smell of blood stung my nose. I wiped the blood and meat off my face and looked down at the woman.
There was a corpse with the upper half of the body missing.
“It’s really annoying until the end… … !!”
This is the moment when I thought I finally got a clue.
There was only one thing that was certain.
They were no longer to be accepted as mere characters.
