Is that a good story for me to hear?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga looks at me a little wary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you ask me if it's okay for me to ask you, I'm not sure about .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've already been involved in this case, and I'm already involved in the problems between the magic circle and the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Isn't it too late?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga says "Aaah~" to my words and holds her head in her hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He had anticipated me to some extent, and had successfully avoided getting involved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What can I say?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sorry?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... is disgusting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm older than him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure if we're on equal footing or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The relationship between the royal family and the church goes back a long time. The reason for this is that the church and the royal family have been in a relationship for quite some time. I did some research and couldn't figure out the cause, but the royal family is trying to cut the power from the church. The church is trying to take everything away from the royal family. There was a time when I thought it was a struggle for supremacy, but the roots seem to run deeper.

He was so quick to get involved. 　What does the magic circle have to do with it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, are you ready for this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at Uliga and laughed at his bitter face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That face pisses me off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't help it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm glad to have a friend to talk to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know how many generations ago, some guys from the church tried to kill the king by brainwashing his brother with magic spells. But the information was so vague that I couldn't find out if it actually happened. I was stopped from the top halfway through. But the fact that they stopped me means that to some extent it must have been true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That was a close call.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was shaking because I was afraid that if I looked into anything else, I could be seriously erased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did the church bring the magic circle back to life?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I have no idea about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought so too, but then I found a magic circle in the basement of the royal castle. It was a very old one. It was so large that it was difficult to see the whole magic circle, and the writing was quite complicated, as I recall now. If I had been able to do a little more research, I might have learned something about the magic circle, but I ran away when I was about to be found.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You ran away?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, just barely."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I had been 10 seconds slower in my judgment, they would have found me and disposed of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After that, I casually tried to go to the place, but it looked too dangerous with the increased security, so I gave up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would have liked to have seen it again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looked old, but it was beautiful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Appas. I don't know how you survived all this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha. I was lucky. I used to be so young that I couldn't resist the demand to find out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I laughed and he let out a huge sigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So what are you going to do now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Well, if it's just the magic circle, but now that the church is involved, the king will have to give the orders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. That's a pain in the ass.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right, it's a pain in the ass when the king gives orders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The current king is very smart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think he would take such a time-consuming and difficult-to-achieve approach, but we'll have to wait and see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can you keep them under wraps?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It'll be fine. The cursed contract, if broken, will result in punishment for those who spoke it, those who heard it, and those who gave the orders. Unless the king is a fool, he won't bother to accept the curse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That cursed contract is a pretty horrible thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder why the Zinals used that contract.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's my question, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder why they had that many copies, but I also wonder why they used the cursed contract without hesitation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that they came to this village to celebrate their son becoming a high-ranking adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's kind of inexplicable, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is this about the ginals?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga asks over tea, nodding once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'You didn't find anything when you checked, did you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There was nothing suspicious."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga gives the same answer to my question as before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I nodded once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga nodded. Why did you believe my answer so easily?　Even if I had checked, wouldn't you usually be a little more skeptical?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'............ ah~

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?　Speak up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Maybe it's because Ivy says, "Mr. Zinal and the others are fine." Haha, I kind of believed her."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When you look me straight in the eye like that~.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga looks at my response as if to say, I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder who Ivy is. There's something powerful about her words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I bet she's not just a ...... pretty girl. She is more calm than she looks, plus she has good judgment. Sometimes she looks her age, but something feels off. I just don't think she's the enemy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a strange feeling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The discomfort is strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it had been the usual me, I would have doubted it first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if he was the one who saved my life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I can't feel that way at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know one thing: I won't let the royal family or the church find out about Ivy's existence. That's the one thing I know for sure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy is unaware of the power she possesses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy is not aware of the power she possesses, even though she has a rather precious slime and even the legendary Adandara, a higher level demon, in her service.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She is able to assess the situation and be alert, but somehow she doesn't realize that she has great power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't help but wonder why, but even if I told him, he wouldn't really understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And from the looks of the druid, she's been warned about a lot of things in the past.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She understands verbally, too, just not in the true sense of the word.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All this is no good unless she realizes it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's unusual for her to show her hand so easily."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga's words bring a bitter smile to my face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's true, about Sola and the others, and about Ciel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We were the ones who were in trouble because he talked so easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The next time I see him, I'll give him a heads up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They seem to understand, don't they?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They'll understand what we're saying, but that's probably all they'll do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, what was I talking about?　What were we talking about?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　......, that's right... about whether or not we can trust the ginnies?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think that's what we were talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe we should have a talk with Zinal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga is probably right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We need to know what they are really up to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if it is really for Zinal's son.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Appath. How much should I tell the druid and Ivy?　They're probably at home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My honest feeling is that I don't want to involve them anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But that would be a mistake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Every village and town has a church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if we warn people to stay away from that place without a second thought, we'll still need to explain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I can't tell you everything at .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are too many things I don't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uliga, just tell me what you know. I'll talk to the king and see what I can find out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you all right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll figure something out. I will tell the druids everything I know before I leave the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now, how do we get information out of the king?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll poke and prod him from other directions, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've been in touch with all my old acquaintances about this time, and here's a little ...... like the old days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't do anything dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm ...... okay with a little bit of that. We're able to make adjustments in that area."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the past, there were times when it was dangerous to overdo it, but thanks to the experience I've gained, I'm able to watch my opponents and know when to back off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This would be a good place to use that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Appas, you look like you're having a good time. You look like you did when you arrived at the Commander."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that so?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, the look you get when you're thinking about something bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think it's anything too bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's just a little poke in the eye, hinting at the past.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a painful thing to look back on when you're older and see the things you did when you were younger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Scary."
