.
-Miu’s POV-
The three of them argue without backing down. Teijo family is the head of the Kempeitai, or the military police, which protects public order. The Kanna family, I think, is the head of the military. And the Aguni family is the owner of the land here? If only Munin were here, too bad.
It rings a bell that he’s connected to the Chimera. They used it as a subordinate organization. But they didn’t manage it well.
While I felt my good feeling toward Duke Aguni fell into a negative one, I also guessed that maybe Duke Aguni was not involved in the children’s sacrifices.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy is this? They’re using the children’s life to earn a fraction of 10 million yen is too much of a disadvantage than an advantage for the duke. If that got exposed, the duke’s name would surely fall to the ground. By knowing this, there is no way they would appeal for ownership of this land.
Perhaps Aguni Enraku is just letting its subordinate organizations manage the dungeon in secret. Chimera maybe was out of control. It happens all the time. It’s a template.
Enraku thinks that the degree to which he’s secretly managed the dungeon isn’t a problem even if people found out. If I had found out that the Chimera was using children as bait to scam money. I would never have come here.
Man, I’ve already killed all the witnesses. If they find out about this later, they will do their best to cover it up. I saved your life. I’m sure they were involved, and I wish I could get some retribution for it, but I can’t right now.
On the flip side, I also think that children’s lives are no longer in danger. If they’re going to remain ignorant, it is best to stay out of the children’s lives. If they kill witnesses, they don’t want to send assassins to return fire and make people think that the duke’s family is involved. It’s because the duke wants people to think the magician who conquered this dungeon is behind it.
If the duke sends an assassin, it would be a contradiction in terms. Even if they get found out, they would probably claim that the Chimera organization had somehow taken up residence here. It’s a slum, so it’s a real possibility.
Unless people prove that the duke gets connected to the Chimera, and they sacrifice the children, they will not make a move. People will look for who invaded the dungeon. I don’t doubt that the other nobles will look for them.
And I understood what these people wanted.
They want the queen ant’s corpse. It’s the carcass of a level 52 boss monster. It’s a much better material than a monster in the same level range. It would be worth more than level 60 if it were an ordinary monster.
“Are they asking for ownership of that corpse?”
I tug at Yamiyo’s hem, and when I ask in a whisper, she nods back.
“Yes. I’ve never seen that thing’s tremendous magical power.”
I gulped and swallowed, and Yamiyo trembled a little and answered. Looking at the terrifying mass of magical power, Yamiyo was scared because she must have a high ability to perceive magical power. It has tremendous magical power, so I also hold her hand and tremble.
“Ummm, yes. It has great magic power, isn’t it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI didn’t feel it at all. It was not a second surprise.
But it looks nothing more than the charred corpse of an insect. Can I use it for the windshield of a gunship? For now, that’s it. Anyway, there it is. Please give me an effect. It feels like it’s filled with magical power. It was in the game, so I wonder if I could do the same in real life. I can’t sense mana, so even if people told me I have magical powers, I don’t understand it.
I don’t understand why they brought their children to the slums. Did they bring their heirs as an ordinary war force?
The three old men show a sword-swallowing atmosphere, their words, and actions are rough, but they don’t seem to start fighting. Hmmm, this is no battle.
They are in a bad position if they butt heads with each other. If this were only subordinates, there would have been a clash, but it would be unfashionable for the heads of high-ranking noble families to clash. They must have been expecting this and were planning to let their children experience it.
I see. Show them the slums, show them the struggle between high-ranking aristocrats, and also show them to the other party. I don’t know what their purpose is, but that’s about it.
Miu, the beautiful detective girl, knows exactly what I’m talking about.
Well, then, I’m going to accomplish some of my goals. Sorry, but I’m going to have to take advantage of you. I’ll take that queen ant material as a thank you, okay?
