I got those kneeling old men to somehow stood up What I needed the most, at this moment, was an explanation

This was not a plan to escaped while I was confused Rather, they looked to be really afraid ofmy mana from before But Guta-san once said ” They returned to their previous state after a week even if they were being threatened by [Shadows] ” so they do not seeed ahen their life was threatened after going through that experience

So why? I glanced at the trelance, he shi+vered up into his clothes

” Erm… ”

I asked the one who stood at the front, thinking that he must had been the leader His shoulders jumped at my voice

” P, p, please forgive ! So, so, please, please spare our lives…! ”

He then proceeded to prostate once again as he howled in half- horrible to them With a wry expression on my face, I walked over to where he was It seeone to the brink of madness

” And why is that? ”

I had no idea what [O’ Messenger] was but since it see to put it into use Seeing the weird expression on my face, the old man trembled even harder

” I, I was tricked! That’s why… ”

” I see… Sigh… That’s horrible… So that’s it… ”

I responded emotionlessly as the old man rambled on with his excuses Like how they were threatened by the nobles into paying high taxes thus squeezing the to protected the the money they took Like how they were tricked by the E that Beastmen where beneath them And many more

Despite being the Emperor of a country that despised Beastly held no contempt towards them at all Back at Elzs when I introduced thetowards Hattuo for the reatly

Guta-san once said that he believed in efficiency instead, I think It didn’tas they could be used Guta-san, as born in a country with a deep-rooted conterew up in within the nobles who had been the worst, had not been led by that thinking

The old otten lost in all the confusion before, rushed right back up It looked like he was going to continue weaving excuses for himself

I looked down at the old man and said

” I won’t take your life …Raise your face up ”

” Yes! Yes! Thank you…?! ”

Thanking profusely, the old ht now, I had a superb smile on my face

…As ed on inside!

” I said it before, haven’t I? That I ae ”

Touching the cheek of the frozen old man, I smiled

” Please do not think that you would die so easily …You will pay for your sins, you pig ”

Releasing the fainted old man, I turned and walked out of the rooence Corps a tables were still all in full view With all these evidence, it would be easy getting a confession out of them

Leaving it to them, I left the room

” It went just as I expected ”

Guta-san said as he grinned,

although I had no idea why But first, let’s go back, Guta-san

Well then, after settling that disgusting church, Guta-san and I went back to the inn At thiscollecting evidence of all the bribery, gas that all the old men priests had done

I don’t really want to leave them there but Guta-san and I were people of positions Our job was to wait for the to do So even though I was doing the right thing, I still felt guilty about it

” Ah! I should have at least clean up the door crumbs…! ”
