“Gantez!　Gregory!　Listen …… This is not the thing!”

“Oops.”

Roland tried to pick up the Polar Light Storm Aurora Sword that he had dropped on the floor while making a desperate excuse, but Gregory was slightly quicker to kick it to the corner of the room.

Gantez then slammed his fist into Roland’s midsection as he leaned back to pick up his sword.

“Ugh ……!”

“Jesus Christ. You’re gonna get us all killed. You fucking idiot!”

Roland crumpled to the floor with no effort as Gantez’s left fist struck his chin in rapid succession.

“Ugh…….”

“Hey, what are we going to do about this mess? If we leave …… unattended, we’ll be in trouble too, won’t we?”

Raymond is already out of things.

I’m sure you’ll be able to find out what’s going on in the world.

“It’s a good idea to have a look at the following…… A reasonable choice would be to submit the bodies of the brave men and Raymond to the kingdom’s guards or to find someone from the Holy Kingdom. Or we could find someone from the Holy Kingdom to hand them over.”

In response to Gantez’s question, Gregory made what could be considered a safe suggestion.

“U…… s …… stop it! This was an accident caused by an altercation!”

“Shut up. I don’t think you’ll get that excuse.”

“Ouch…….”

Gantez holds Roland’s neck as he collapses in a cowering position, blocking him from moving.

Roland sobs pathetically in a crushed voice.

“…… Damn it, what a brave man. You’re a scumbag. …… Hey, what are you doing in this situation, Gregory!　Help me tie it up!”

Gantez yelled at Gregory, who was beginning to ransack Raymond’s room.

“Don’t be so angry, Gantez. It’s all about the future. It’s all about the future. …… It will be interesting to see what Raymond will be doing as a ‘Thief’. I have a pretty good idea of what he’s going to do.”

Gregory, who had been ransacking Raymond’s room for about ten minutes, was reading through the multiple letters and papers he had found in Raymond’s room.

Roland remained in his regime, held down by Gantez, looking up at him and pushing him silent. And his body was trembling from fear as he thought about the future.

”…… It seems that Raymond was in regular contact with the Holy Kingdom, sending information about Central City and magic goods magic items obtained from his adventures to the Holy Kingdom. I guess he’s a special knight of the Holy Kingdom.”

“…… Tokum Knight? I’ve never heard of that.”

These are the guys who go out and do all kinds of things in other countries. Information gathering. Treasure hunting. Recruiting. Recruiting saints. Eliminating enemies of the Order. And a whole bunch of other stuff. So he was working as an adventurer in King’s Landing while at the same time working for the Holy Kingdom.

The knowledge of the Holy Kingdom in this area was something that Roland didn’t know, not only Gantez but also Roland.

He is only an A-ranked ‘Thief’, so he seems to be a man who knows more advanced information than Brigitte and has a better head on his shoulders.

And in response to the unfamiliar word ‘special duty knight’, Roland looked up at Gregory and began to excuse himself, as if he had found a point of light.

“…… Raymond must have been a secret spy for the Holy Kingdom! Then go to …….”

“Of course this level of information gathering is silenced in each other’s countries. Would I be guilty of writing a detailed diary in a foreign country?”

Gregory shrugged and then continued.

” ‘ …… Well, it doesn’t matter. What’s worse is that the Holy Kingdom knows from the exchange of letters that Raymond belongs to the ‘Hazerushippu Blastwind’. …… his death will be exposed eventually, no matter how you do it.”

When Roland’s face heard that, he looked terribly pale.

If we can successfully hide the corpse, we can get away with it. The sweet idea of such things as these fogged up from Roland’s thoughts.

“…. What are you going to do, Gregory, do you want to pretend that Raymond died on your adventure?”

”There’s probably others from the Holy Kingdom in this city, right? I think they’re in frequent contact with each other. They’ll find out.”

“…… So you’re going to turn in this scum hero and break up the party. …… Gahahaha, you, if you’re handed over to the Holy Kingdom, I’m sure you’ll be sentenced to the extreme.”

“It’s …… no!　If …… the venerable heroic bloodline is going to be executed to the extreme, it won’t make the …… clan feel sorry for it!”

Gantez laughing at the downfall of his rival “Attacker” and Roland shouting in a way that was not appropriate.　

Gregory was thinking about something while the two of them were in the background.

…… hey, I just came up with a devious idea. How about we put the blame on you, Henry, the one-eyed spectacles?　You two disappeared together with the saint, didn’t you?

Gregory suddenly made an outrageous suggestion to them.

“Oh, come on, Gregory. …… You can’t cover up this stab wound, though.”

“That can wait. It’s important to note that he’s disappeared at just the right time. …… The Holy Knight has been killed. At the same time, mister glasses and the saintly girl packed up their belongings and disappeared. …… Who is objectively suspicious?”

Gregory continued.

“Neither I nor Gantez saw what happened in this room. …… After you murdered Raymond, you kidnapped the saint and escaped. That’s what I assumed, and that’s how it works.”

When Gregory finished, the room fell silent.

And it was Roland who first opened his mouth to Gregory’s suggestion.

“…… Gregory. Are you sure you can put the blame on Henry? What good would that do you?”

“After a bit of strong questioning, he might say I did it. …… but we’re going to have to go out on a limb too. It can’t be for free.”

“What is ……?”

”If it turns out that you’re the culprit, then Gantez should own the residence of the ‘Blasting Wind Blast Wind’. The party’s not going to use it since it’s like this anymore anyway, right?”

Gantez seemed to get on board with the suggestion. He grinned after clapping his fist.

“You’re saying that I’m going to get this dwelling place from …… me? If that’s the case, I’ll help you capture Henry.”

Gantez readily agreed. Looking at the lack of hesitation in this deviousness, he must be a habitual offender of evil deeds.

“I don’t mind the dwelling house. What about …… Gregory?”

“I…… I don’t care about that kind of thing, I want to have a saint. I’ve heard that the hero is very popular with the ladies. I’d like to see some of those fans.”

Gregory whispered with a thin smile, and Roland glared at him with a look of indignation.

“Don’t fuck with me …… and I’ll kill you if you mess with …… Elia.”

“I’m not trying to force you or anything like that. If the saint refuses your invitation, just turn some of your fan women around. …… Maybe the brave can win the heart of the saintly lady.”

Against Gregory’s demon whispering, a calculation was working in Roland’s head.

The Holy Knight Killer. If he was to be tried in the Holy Kingdom, he must be sentenced to death or life in prison. I don’t think I’ll be able to bear such a thing.

But if I cooperate with their plans, maybe I can survive.

This dwelling house can be given to Gantez, it was originally a 50-50 property of the members.

Elia will undoubtedly reject Gregory’s invitation. He is not a good type of person by any stretch of the imagination.

The fangirls who approach him are unimportant compared to Elia. You can offer them to Gregory as much as you want.

…… If Gregory does something funny to Elia, I’ll cut him down with the Polar Light Storm Aurora Storm. …… Raymond was killed by Henry. …… Okay.

I’m starting to feel that way.

If you’re punished in the Holy Kingdom for killing a holy knight, you’ll stain the bloodline of a venerable hero.

It’s a shame for the family. As a brave man, that much must be avoided at all costs.

“Okay, I’ll help you. Raymond must have been killed by Henry. His AWOL escape is proof of that. We’ll catch him and question him.”

Roland had a clear expression on his face, and looking up at them, he told them in an indifferent voice.

It was an extremely neutral expression that Roland, who had been blocked up for a while now, hadn’t shown in a while, as if he had opened up and if so, had lost his gauntlet.

“…… Can you predict where he and the saintly lady are headed? It won’t be that long yet.”

“I think he headed for Slay. Elia is very fond of that wolf, you know? I’m sure of it.”

Gregory responded to the name “Slay”.

Apparently, he had an idea.

“…… Slay?　…… Yeah, that’s more likely to be Runeside. I have information that I’ve seen former supporters of Hazerushippu Blastwind in Loonside.”

The three of them nodded silently at those words and left Raymond’s room in the Lord’s absence.
