What happened to Sir Christo and the others?
In the room, there is a magic stone and a scythe lying. There’s also a mummy with two mutilated bodies.
I’m the only one left alive.
Now that the monster is dead, the trap will be disarmed. The door will open soon, so I’ll have to do a little work before that.
I put Christo’s mummy and sword near the magic stone and knelt down on the spot.
“Are you okay!”
The door opened with a bang and Regina walked in.
“Thank God! Are you okay, Lars? What happened to Christo–sama and the others?”
“Unfortunately, I’m the only one who survived.”
I looked down, making an expression to look sad. Ahead of me, laid the mummy of Christo.
“This is ……”
“It’s the result of a battle between the [Wraith]’s advanced species after they were locked in a room. Christo-sama was sucked alive by the [Energy Drain], but he fought back strongly and they were able to fight each other.”
“The advanced species …… such a powerful monster appeared?”
“Yes. Thanks to the efforts of Christo-sama, we were able to survive.”
“Well, he fought and died right as a Knight, didn’t he?”
He protected the weak, fought and died. I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the way I’ve presented the ideal Knight’s life as Regina sees it.
She is praying to the dead with tears in her eyes.
In this situation, there is little room for doubt, and furthermore, by creating a story to her liking, some discomfort will be ignored. People believe what’s good for them, you know. The image of Christo fighting valiantly must be floating around in her brain.
I don’t want Regina to imagine, who loves the ideal Knight, that the Knight couldn’t even fight against monsters.
“If this happens, we have no choice but to suspend our investigation.”
She finished her prayer, stood up and turned towards me.
“We can’t take the corpse with us, but we can take the swords that they used, as mementos. Do you mind if I take care of the luggage?”
I was glad that I wasn’t asked to bring everything back with me. I don’t want to carry three dead bodies.
If Regina testifies, Zelma will believe her, and for me, it’s better to just take the sword. I had no reason to refuse.
“Of course. I will also bring other items left behind by the monster.”
“I asked. In return, I will protect Lars on the way back.”
It would not be a problem if I said that, I do not need to be protected with this amount of luggage, but there was no need to hurt her pride by telling her that.
I followed the orders and retrieved the swords and the magic items and gold coins that they had stored in their pockets. Finally, I put away the drop items left behind by the monster and decided to follow Regina out of the Western-style house.
