672 Outside Edition Mr. Ginal and Father

"I didn't know I was going to join the church."

A bitter smile leaked from the voice that could be heard from behind.

When I'm not with Ivy, the Druid is... cold.

Yes, the warmth decreases and the impression of being cold becomes stronger.

Well, I feel uncomfortable because I know the old Druid, but there are some parts that I agree with.

Besides, the place is the church.

Are you happy?

"I don't feel it at all. You're now free to walk around the church."

"Yeah, we've taken it all."

After I came back from the woods, I finished it all at once.

I also know that prolonging it will increase the number of victims.

Where are those kids?

Druid's words remind me of a sentinel in the woods.

Because I had never been on the lookout.The two of them were following each other.

He said, "I was scared."

“It's okay, my friends sent it to my parents and explained it to me.”

I see.

There are only a few people inside the church today.

All those who were in the church were caught and locked in a certain place.

In a few days, they will be secretly transferred and slaves will fall without anyone knowing.

"Druid, you really don't listen to me."

A normal guy would say, "What happened to the church?"or" What's going to happen to the church?"and so on.

And yet, Druid never heard of it.

"It's something we don't need."

Well, that might be true.

This guy is really thorough with "necessary things" and "unnecessary things".

Well, I guess I could have survived by sticking my foot in the back.

I think you can ask me a few more questions.

That's what I'm trying to do.

"All church officials will be enslaved in a few days."

I see.

Normally, I'd say, "Why?"

In a few days, you'll fall into slavery in a way that's not a proper procedure.

And yet, you just ended the conversation.

I knew it, but I knew it.

"Instead of that, why did you call me here?"Wouldn't it be nice if you could tell me what the papers are? ”

"I need Druid's help with something else."

Druid leans his neck into the back of the church.

Refers to the hidden staircase found by a companion.

Underground?

Oh, I want you to see the magic circle underneath.

Everyone in the church is a magic circle responsible for falling into slavery in a few days.

Magic circle? I'm not familiar with it?

"Among the incidents that Druid was involved in a long time ago was the kidnapping of children, right?At that time, I want you to compare it to the magic circle I saw underground.The magic circle in that case disappeared before I could transcribe it. Please. "

There was a sudden disappearance of children without parents in the capital.

There are only 26 children who are right for the damage.

In fact, it's been said that there are more.

The vigilante was involved in the investigation, but the investigation was difficult to navigate with few clues.

One day, a loud noise came from a building.

The vigilante rushed to discover the remains of unconscious nobles and several children.

When the children were discovered to have disappeared, the case was solved at once.

The nobility interrogated him, and the building was underground, with children.

He testified that he had killed to satisfy his own desires.

The vigilante checked the basement and found the children.

But the children found were already dead.

All those involved in the abduction of the nobility and their children fell into slavery and the case was solved.

And, it's facing outward.

In fact, there was a magic circle in the basement, and there were repeated experiments with children.

When the vigilante went underground, the magic circle disappeared.

At first, it seemed that the aristocrats had wiped out the magic circle, but when I heard about the magic circle from the captured aristocrats, it turned out that the magic circle itself had been set to wipe out.

The aristocrat had an ally because of the use of a rather sophisticated magic array, and the investigation continues.

But somebody killed the nobleman, and we still don't know more.

A fellow investigating a magic circle found in the church told me it might be similar to a magic circle in an incident.

I felt a bit of fate when I heard about every case.

Sometimes it's a case I was involved in.

“That's right. I thought we were moving pretty carefully, but did you know I was involved?”

Yes, because Druid was also involved in the case.

It just doesn't say Druid's name in the report.

An eyewitness anxiously said, "Maybe."

But I was convinced it was Druid that was sighted.

I saw them near the sightings the day before.

"Someone happened to have witnessed it."But it's not in the report. "

I see.

I'm a little surprised that I don't care too much.

"I don't have to be surprised."

Huh?

Did you read my face?

"I knew it, but I don't think Druid deserved it."

I didn't think there was anyone besides Garrett and Fischer who could read my face.

After all, should I have invited you to join us then?

No, I won't.

I'm a little lost.

Well, even if I had invited Druid, my master's monsieur would have interrupted me.

"Hey..."

At that time, I was convinced that it was Druid, but I didn't look into it anymore because I predicted something.

In the basement... no, let's not.

"Four of them."

After all, was Druid asked to rescue the children?

It was pretty bad, both physically and mentally, but I took the time to get treatment from my client.

I see. Can you confirm the magic circle?

The only person who saw the magic circle in that incident is Druid.

Everyone else was killed.

"Oh, no problem."

Nodding to Druid's answer, he went down the stairs and stood in front of a single door.

I put my hand on the door handle and looked at Druid.

“You'd better put a cloth on your nose. Because the smell is amazing."

Why do all the church officials fall into slavery?

Usually, it's just the people who were involved in the underground magic circle.

But this time, everyone in the church decided to fall into slavery.

Because there were too many victims.

"All right, I'm ready."

When you see Druid put a cloth on his nose, he also puts a cloth on his own nose.

Exhale one breath and open the door.

The next moment, you can feel the bad smell even if you put the cloth on it.

In an instant, as I warped my face, I let out a small breath and entered the room.

the room had a desk and bookshelf, and there was a magic circle in the middle

And the cage in the corner of the room.

I don't even want to think about what it is for.

Is this magic circle written in blood?

Oh, how was it in the basement before?

"Blood was not used.... there are a few things that are different from before, but most of them are the same. "

You checked fast.

"Tell me a different place."

I slammed it into my head while listening to Druid's explanation.

I wish I could write it on paper here, but I don't want to remove the cloth from my nose.

Even if you're wearing a cloth, it smells terrible.

"Thank you. Three places."

I looked at the magic circle while checking the contents.

"How many children did the victim have?"

Druid looked around the room and finally turned his gaze to the cage.

“Forty-one, but not all of them.There must be others. "

As before, I'm sure we won't be able to get the full picture.

When I first came to this room, there were children who had died next to the magic circle.

It was either there or it was piled up in the corner like garbage.

Why can you do that?

I see. Shall we leave now?

When Druid's voice is answered, "I see," he leaves the room.

When you close the door, you breathe out.

It seems that the air in that room is tied to my body and I feel sick.

"I'm sorry. Let me get involved."

"No. You kept my people away because I was coming, didn't you?"

Exactly.

I've made sure my people don't know who knows who that magic circle is.

Well, some of you may have noticed, but you'll understand my intentions.

Until now, Druid had nothing to do with that magic circle.

Phew

When you enter that room, you will be attacked by helplessness.

“Druid, is the room above okay for the paperwork?”

Do you want to see the ciphertext before you decrypt it?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Go up to the second floor of the church and enter a luxurious room.

That's a bad hobby room.

Druid laughs as he says in amazement.

I know this room is costly, but I don't like it.

It was Bishop Ottmith's office.
