Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

--That was a long time ago when I was working on Zen , which has been a routine.

A servant brought the package when one fell into meditation in the middle of the room, as usual, and kept thinking nothing.

It is unusual these days for employees other than Noah to work directly.Ever since Noah came to the Mansion, everything about herself had to go through Noah - that much haste?

The resulting package was, however, an envelope.

Ask the servant who brought it what it is.

"What is this?

"I don't know. I want you to give it to Mr. Arcs."

"... to me?

"Yes"

"What kind of guy brought this?

"Um, I wonder if you were feeling well...."

The words of the servant are not guided.Does that mean they didn't name anyone and didn't confirm it?Even though I don't feel like I'm doing my job right... I guess I didn't have to worry so much because there's no one to blame.

"You didn't name him, did you?

"Yes"

Ask for confirmation and the affirmation will come back.

But the envelope. Probably a letter or something.So far, there's only my uncle who sends things like that.

"... where is Risha now?

…… Miss Risha?The young lady has been out since this afternoon.... "

"... I see.Okay, that's enough, thank you. "

Thanking him, the servant left the room in a respectful manner.

Look at the back of the envelope.Again, there is nothing to describe.

For a moment, I thought it was a letter from an official who deposited evidence with Risha, but I deny it immediately.If the opponent is that official, this should be a delivery to Risha.

Because I gave it to Risha, it is reasonable to ask Risha to return it.

However, it is strange that if it is a letter from me that has nothing to do with the matter, the person who brought it will not be named.

A bad feeling swells up deep inside your stomach.

It's the worst of all possibilities.

Is this a bad story?

Sit at a desk, prepare a paper knife, and hurry to open the envelope.

As you can see, there is a letter inside.

And there was still something there that I expected.

--Bring what your sister left to the designated place.Don't tell your parents.If I tell them, I'll kill them both.

"Ah, shit!!

Bang, bang on the desk.

Only Risha knows that she has the evidence.Nevertheless, he was given a letter against himself.And then the word "kill." This is not the official who gave the evidence to Risha on the 19th of July.

Then the sender is the source of the evidence of wrongdoing.

There is only the Marquis of Khaw Gaston.

But...

"Killing both of them... did someone else get involved?

The letter did mention both of them.

Maybe someone who was accompanying him ate the collateral.

Looking at the letter in the room and roaring, the door was knocked.

Eventually, the voice that came through the door...

"Mr. Arcs, are you sure?

"Noah. Oh, that's fine."

With permission, Noah Ingwyn opens the door and appears.

When entering, the scent is like a fluffy citrus.

Beauty with short bobbed indigo hair and golden monocles.Dressed as usual in a morning-coat, it's still a pleasant start today.

Noah greets graciously and asks questions.

"Sherry just left the room, did anything happen?

You just saw the servant who brought the package.

"... this is it."

"Letters, deliveries?

Noah nods to the question and throws the delivered letter.

As soon as Noah read the letter, he turned to us.

"Arch-sama, what is this...?

"When Risha went to the club, she said it was evidence of the Marquis's wrongdoing and brought it here."

Explain the matter to Noah while pulling out the hidden evidence.

That Risha took the evidence.

In addition, I kept it.

Noah looked reluctant when she heard the whole story.

"... did you keep such an important thing to yourself?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't think they'd find out."

I thought if the officials came to get it, it would have no effect, but I didn't think the Marquis would sniff it out first.

"I have a lot to say, but we'll talk about it later."

Ah.

"It turns out that something happened to the servant first."

"... I see.I suppose so.Damn it..... "

My back teeth rang.

I didn't want Risha involved and put in danger.I'm not sure if I got caught and broke my mouth, or if the Marquis's conjecture was too good, but I didn't just want to complain, but I wanted to punch him.

"It is true that Risha-sama has been seized.Do you want to report it to your parents?

"No, wait a minute."

"But, Mr. Arcs. This killing is out of the threat range."

"Yeah, that's what I think."

Noah's right. I don't suppose he's going to do anything like kill the Vicomte's daughter.

Even if we do, we need to prepare before we plot against House Rayseft.

Not if we destroy all the evidence.

"I think it's something I need to tell someone."

"Oh, so first, I want you to tell my uncle."

Crave has more power than his father Joshua.If Crave tells his parents what to do in the event of an emergency, and more importantly, there is a possibility of noise in the Mansion.That way, they could do something.

... the fact that you're in a hostage situation means that the Marquis is in a bit of a hurry.I have one of the books in my hand.I'm sure it's quite important.

"--Besides that.Noah, I'm going to answer the call. "

"I don't think those people will keep their promises."

"I wonder. Once you've got the evidence, you'll catch me."

"You understand that, and you accept?

"No, I'm not taking any evidence."

It's not like we don't have any ideas either.

"So, how do we do that?

"The point is, I'm going to pretend to be caught and get out with Risha and the others.You don't even think I can use magic. "

Even in the Kingdom, which is a magical advanced country, magic begins to be learned from the age of 12 to 14.

It is not common to think that a child of about ten years old can use magic.As a son of a militarist, I might be wary.It will stay as long as you can use magic.

"But we may not be able to pull it together."

"Oh, that's why I need Noah to move on while I'm earning time.I want you to visit the Marquis immediately and find out where Risha is.Noah can do it, right?

"Even if you say you can't, do you want me to do it?

"Of course."

"Ha, my stomach is starting to hurt."

"Illusions, illusions. So, once we know where Leisha is..."

"Please ask Mr. Crave to move."

"That's what it is. At least you won't be able to get in without knowing where you are."

I broke into the Marquis Mansion, and it was a barren shell, but that would be a terrible thing to do.

That's why we need you to look into it, and we need to create the time.

... there are only a few options available to me right now.

Either way, we have to rely on someone with the power we deserve.

--But is that how it ends?

…………

Such a word gushed down your head.

To be sure, my top priority now is to help Risha.

However, even if that is achieved, there is no doubt that the results will remain.

The first thing to think about is what will settle this case.

You're just saving Risha from the Marquis?

Until the Marquis's wrongdoing is revealed?

No, I'm sure that's not the end of the story.

…………

"Mr. Arks?

The matter will first go back to the beginning of the matter.

Apart from the back-office books, other miscellaneous evidence of wrongdoing can easily be crushed by a nobleman like the Marquis of Gaston.

The officials who were collecting this - probably from the DA, but what were they trying to do with all that useless stuff?

It is only natural that charges should be laid, and the Marquis is the man in charge of the centre of the country.

It would be difficult to plead guilty without so much.

With this level of evidence, it is far from fatal, both in the back of the books and in combination.

Nevertheless, I acted at this time.

Whether the official was incompetent or thinking that he had abandoned the opportunity even though more important evidence might be available.

Besides that. I don't know anything about the official knowing that 'Risha is Joshua Rayseft's daughter'.

--I feel like there's something stupid around the room that I don't know.

Is this an alarm that something is moving underwater, or is it just an illusion of assumption?

Either way, I'm not sure.

"... Noah. There is something else I would like you to look into.Can I ask you to do the same?

"Do you still have it?You're a rough master. "

"I think it's better than my uncle."

"From now on, you'll be caring."

That's what Noah said, and she exhales in astonishment.This exchange has been the norm lately.

Whatever he says, he does it right.
