When the burning smell of black ashes in the burning building vibrated, everything was sorted out.
Thinking that I had passed away, I comforted two women who were weeping and captured all the fainting infidels.
The total number of members involved in this case was 10, of which 9 were captured, and the other was dead.
At first, due to Miru’s sudden action, additional personnel did not come to this building as well, but even this achievement was sufficient.
They are so secretive and work in the dark, so it was the second time to catch them, and finding them was extremely difficult.
Unless you raid meetings like this, the only way to find them is to find them out of the many citizens who wander around the streets…
However, it was almost impossible to catch it that way.
Even if there is a saying in my world that ‘contemplation is science’, it is like finding a needle in the middle of the desert to distinguish a fanatic group just by looking at their appearance.
Even more so, they are thoughtful and they do not neglect appearance management to the extent that ‘I am suspicious’ is written, so if they are determined and try to hide their identity, they will never be found.
Therefore, even finding one person is extremely difficult, and in the royal capital, the infidels themselves are on the second-class wanted list, so it was not easy to arrest them.
Therefore, even if one person died, it was a great achievement if there were about nine people, and if we interrogated this number of people, about one person could spit out useful things.
The country I’m in and the main stage of the game, the Ginaff Kingdom, is a country with good security due to its strong public power, and violent criminals who try to lightly ignore the human rights of others, such as infidels, can exercise their power while ignoring human rights equally.
In general, this country’s attitude towards criminals is easy to understand, recalling words such as eye for eye and tooth for tooth.
When interrogating infidels classified as violent crimes, they practice all sorts of unethical methods, so if they don’t kill themselves, some of them will vomit everything they know.
In a world where magic exists, such as feeding a confession made by an alchemist or using mental torture magic, torture methods could reach unimaginable levels.
“Huh… I’ve tied up this side as well, and now I just have to wait for the guards to come.”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, wiped his hands and looked around. Erina and Miru also performed their roles well, so they captured all heretics in a short time.
“Then why don’t you go out for a while? The smell of burns vibrates and makes me sick to my stomach.”
As if agreeing to Erina’s suggestion, Miru also covered her nose with her mouth, feeling a bit distressed.
Shall I do that?
There was still time left for the guards to come, and I had to face them and fill out some documents to be recognized for their achievements, so I had some spare time.
In the in-game screen, the screen goes black once, and it just jumps to the point where the guards arrived, but what I am facing is the stark reality, so there is no feeling of relief in this part.
Even if the infidels wake up, they disarm them so that they cannot escape, make sure that there are no elements that can bind them, and move around the place.
“By the way, brother, the whole building was burnt down… are you okay…?”
She speaks in a slightly light tone, as if reassuring Miru, who is worried with her slightly anxious eyes.
“It’s okay to say that a dead heretic committed an arson in battle, we just have to pretend to be victims.”
However, he frowned slightly at those words, not knowing why.
“Then it seems like something snobbish… Is that right…?”
He asks me in a slightly suspicious voice, but I shrug his shoulders and answer.
“What’s the matter? You can’t say we burned it and get caught up in a nuisance.”
“No, that’s right, but…”
Miru is a little nervous about what the problem is, and raises the index fingers of both sides and makes them clash.
“The father I knew wasn’t like this…”
“Yeah, what?”
I couldn’t hear him well because he was muttering to himself, but judging from the words he managed to capture, he probably said something a little disappointed about me.
“Uh… nothing!”
Personally, Miru’s attitude of showing disappointment was a bit difficult to understand.
From her point of view, it’s only been a day since I met her, and today is the second day, so why do they have such a sad face when they don’t know each other much?
I don’t know what her first impression of me was, but at least in her eyes I was perceived as a good person.
“By the way, I didn’t kill Yongke, but only burned the building.”
If the building was to be burned in an instant, it would have spit out fire with that much firepower, but unlike the ghastly buildings, the people were fine.
“It’s all~ there’s a way!”
Ahem! She puts her hands on her sides and smiles proudly.
It is now called a building… We came out of the ruins and breathed in the holy air, and when we came out, many people had gathered here.

No matter how sparsely populated and an alley that receives little attention from the public, if an arson incident like this occurs in broad daylight, you and I will flock together.I feel ashamed because I get the gazes of people who don’t know what’s going on…
pounding!
“Ugh?!”
Suddenly, my heart felt like it was beating loudly, and the pain came from the inside, not the outside.
“brother?!”
“Harold?!!”
I lost my center of gravity for a moment in the shuddering pain and staggered, and Erina accepted me as I was about to fall.
“Harold, why all of a sudden?! What’s wrong?!”
For some reason, my head spinning was similar to the agony I felt before I lost consciousness.
Starting from the heart that was struck by the knife, I felt a swaying sensation throughout my body.
As if infected with a giant parasite, it distorts the face with an unpleasant and nauseous feeling.
What is it… the wriggling that keeps beating inside me…
Even while thinking like this, it continues to grow and gives me a feeling of wanting to run away from the indescribable disgust…
“what…?”
That feeling soon disappeared like a lie.
From the beginning, I was in my normal state as if there was nothing inside, and the unpleasant feelings were quickly forgotten, making me think I was having a very brief dream.
“What the hell is happening, Harold! Is there something wrong with that dagger?!”
As Erina said, if I had to guess why I was doing this, I could only think of the dagger of that sinister energy that drove me to the brink of death.
However, he had no idea how or why he had just felt the pain.
“I thought so… I think I’m fine now…”
Still, you should be glad that it sank soon enough…
“Are you really okay, brother?”
Miru, who was more anxious and worried than Erina, leaned on me, but comforted me by stroking my head.
“Yes…”
As soon as my hair was rubbed against me, the negative emotions were shaken off, and then she savored my touch with a comfortable face.
“Herald, why can’t I?”
Then, perhaps jealous of Miru, Erina grabbed my wrist with her cloudy eyes when the bad switch was turned on.
“uh?”
“Why are you only taking care of this girl from a while ago? I’ve been closer to you, but shouldn’t I be rewarded for that?”
They continue to put psychological pressure on them without even giving them a chance to speak.
“Let me stroke your hair too.”
And then he desperately resists, trying to force my arm to his head.
However, it has been a long time since I was pushed by her by force, and no matter how much I tried, it was only delayed, but I couldn’t stop it.
“Now… Wait?! Do you have eyes for people?!”
As I said before, I’m getting the attention of many people right now, and I think this kind of behavior would feel a lot of shame, but Erina didn’t even care about that kind of gaze and tried to forcefully caress her.
Some of the women who looked a little older looked at Erina’s attitude and murmured words like, ‘Oh, you’re young~’ and ‘You’re old enough to be jealous of your boyfriend just looking at the air.’
In the midst of that, Erina’s hand was snatched and stroked without moving…
“I’ve been reported. I heard that heretics were captured in this place where the arson incident occurred, is that correct?
Thanks to the guards who arrived at a truly miraculous timing, they managed to escape the shame.
◆◆◆
“I’m here after completing the last ordeal, Mother.”
The guards came and we were able to sort everything out, and after filling out some paperwork, we got our bounty settled.
Then we returned to the Lovias family mansion to receive a paper like a certificate that we had arrested nine people and to present this as proof that we had passed the ordeal.
“Ah, no, I just got the news and confirmed it. You said you caught nine heretics? That’s enough.”
At those words, Erina burst into laughter, and a sense of relief and fulfillment rushed to me at the fact that everything was over.
“It took a lot of hard work to complete the three trials. To be honest, I still want my daughter to stay in the mansion… But once I spit it out, I can’t put it into words.”
Then he crosses his legs and blesses us with a light smile.
“It’s okay to go back to the daily life of adventure as before. If you need it, write a letter to me, as I can provide support as far as I can reach.”
At first, Mirina was seen as a bad person because of her bitter eyes and hard personality, but as she got along, she was a kind person who was completely different from her first impression.
After all, shouldn’t people be judged by their outward appearance… He still had sharp eyes, but he even seemed kind today.
“From the beginning, I wanted my daughter to stay in the mansion and do a womanly job, but I was afraid that the work of an adventurer would not be able to capture the heart of a duke, so I wouldn’t be able to get married.”
However, he is afraid to see it as a good thing, and he even says useless words that suddenly trigger Erina’s bad personality…
“In other words, the reason I stopped you was that you wouldn’t be able to get married. But even though you don’t have the power, you have brought a good husband who is strong enough to defeat Elbert, so this mother is satisfied.”
Then, with a bitter smile, he speaks in a bitter voice, as if voicing a hidden error.
“Maybe it would have been better not to give you any trials, I’m looking for a man to mate with my daughter.”
“As long as I’ve achieved my original purpose, I don’t care what you two do anymore.”
Then, he bows his head lightly and conveys his deepest condolences to his daughter and me.
“I’m sorry to have caused you unnecessary trouble, but if your skills are proven, you can leave with a more comfortable mind, so this decision was made.”
Unlike Mirina, who apologizes with a feeling of loss of self-confidence, Erina pats her mother’s shoulder and forgives.
“It’s okay, Mother, in the first place, I’m just grateful. You understand my relationship with Harold by evaluating my abilities despite my lack of power.”
It seems that the two mothers and daughters have already mistakenly thought that I and Erina were married… In the first trial, they said no because dating was prohibited.
It was just me alone, so it was as if the temperature around me and the mother and daughter were different.
“Khhhh… I’m sorry to disturb the atmosphere… As I said before, because of the law of our church, I’m still not allowed to date…”
I tried to tackle it, considering that I had not heard it and blurred the atmosphere… Nevertheless, Mirina and Erina’s smiles did not fade.
“Yeah, I guess, but isn’t that temporary? We’ll be able to get married soon, so I’m looking forward to it.”
The word of arbitration of not dating was a logic that did not work for the women who were already looking at the distant mountains.
“Well, it’s not official, but it’s a little early that the two of you decided to get married someday, but I’d like to ask you a favor.”
They clap their hands as if they have just come to mind, and try to convey one wish to us.
“What?”
I answered earlier than Erina, and my voice calmed down with the aura of ‘I will listen reluctantly…’.
“Aren’t you going to show me your grandchildren?”
He was so absurd at those words that for a moment, his mind went blank.
Yes Yes…? what…? I’m not wrong…?
Perhaps he noticed the scream in my heart, he captures the two of us in his eyes with a strangely energetic voice that doesn’t match the sharp image.
“It’s a ban on dating, not a ban on having children, right? Since the two are destined to get married anyway, don’t you plan on showing your grandchildren to this mother as soon as possible?”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
None at all! Never never!! In the first place, does that make sense now?!Mirina, who cannot reach such an intellectual point in my heart, continues to maintain a smile and imposes her wishes on us… no, on me.
“I wish the first grandchild would be a boy!”
In the end, the remarks I just made were the final blow, and the perception of Ms. Mirina that remained within me was completely reversed.
From a woman who is arrogant and sharp but with the elegance that comes out of it, to a strange person who suddenly encourages s*xual harassment…
While feeling disappointed at Mirina’s attitude, which changed to a light image in an instant, she was deeply lamenting…
ding…!
“?!!!”
At that moment, I was overwhelmed with goosebumps that I couldn’t handle, and my body shuddered.
The reason is very simple…
The creepy feeling that stings the back of my neck instills fear and fear in many ways.
I don’t want to go crazy because I’m afraid, but I can definitely feel it… The gaze looking at me with a sinister look…
Because of Mirina-san’s remarks, Erina now seems to have turned on a switch that shouldn’t be turned on…
“Harold~?”
“?!!”
The body stiffened into a stiff posture at one slurred word, and the breath that was approaching more and more eventually reached the skin.
“Did you hear what your mother said? I miss my grandson soon… So…”
Erina’s voice, whispering something sweet as if it tickles my ear, accelerates my heartbeat.
“Why don’t you stay at our mansion tonight too?”
As soon as I finished saying those words, my urgent voice came out like an automatic reflex.
“I’ll give it to you!!”
◆◆◆
Druck…
The pure white temple gate that opens every day
Harold and Miru separated from each other and headed straight to Morione’s temple.
“I was still waiting.”
As soon as Miru enters the audience, a relaxed voice greets her.
“……”
However, despite such a call from the goddess of fate, the heir of the Black Wyrm kept her mouth shut.
“Are you expecting what I’m going to say?”
Hearing those words, Miru reluctantly nodded her head and wrote an impression.
“ha…”
Upon recognizing Miru’s actions, his voice, which seemed somewhat relaxed and peaceful, suddenly changed and everything subsided.
“I said? You shouldn’t see him, I’ve been told countless times.”
Gradually, dissatisfaction is mixed with the voice, and this place also comes and goes with negative energy that does not match the atmosphere of the place.
“Really, how many times do I have to say it for you to understand? No, if I say it in the first place, you will listen?
Soon, the appearance of Morione, who seemed peaceful just a few minutes ago, suddenly changed.
“The more you try to meet your father, the sooner his downfall will come!”
“…..”
This time, despite Morione’s continued harsh words, as if he had fully admitted that he had done something wrong, he simply remained silent.
“Fortunately, other possibilities have come true, and if the worst future I envisioned has come true, he’s dead now.”
He is so stressed that he weeps with the force to tear his own head off.
“Like the worst case I’ve ever said, I almost met a meaningless end…!”
Morione sheds tears as if she was about to lose a loved one forever.
Perhaps the one who had the most anxiety about this incident was actually Morione.
He didn’t stop even though he could have prevented it enough, and he almost lost the person he would cherish more than anyone in the future, if not now.
“I apologize in advance for words that could hurt you, but listen carefully… Your existence just makes him unhappy…
It was not at a level I couldn’t understand the feeling of being so sad.
“……”
After those words, Morione also lost her words and remained silent for a while.
“after….”
But Morione, who managed to calm her heart soon, took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
“I’m sorry for being angry from the last time… But I also did it because I wanted him to be happy as a result…”
After hearing that, Miru spoke up for the first time.
“Maybe… how long until the day when tragedy strikes my father…?”
Without responding to Morione’s words, he only talks about the future.
Upon receiving Miru’s question, Morione clenched her chin with a profound expression on her face.
“Honestly… today the dagger that pierced Harold’s heart was pulled so much. As I said before, I almost ended my life there, but for some reason, I escaped death, but the dagger…”
It seemed like he was talking to Miru, but he was muttering to himself, wondering if he was desperately trying to calculate.
“Well….”
Eventually, he closes his eyes and uses his powers to see various futures.
“I figured it out.”
Soon after, Morionne opened her eyes and put her hands together with a calm face.
“What?!”
chuck!
When Miru hears her answer and asks urgently, Morione opens her index finger with a serious face and declares the date that Harold will fall and be abandoned by the goddess.
“one month”
