When you arrive at the general guild, open the menu and check the time.
"It's 7:26. If you accept it, you can do it a little slowly."
I closed the menu and lined up at the adventure department counter, but ...
"Ah, isn't it wrong with Elleina?"
For some reason, a general guild employee comes next to me and calls my name.
Maybe ... Do you want to talk about the exam in the reception room?
"Yes. Maybe there is something to talk about about the D rank promotion exam?"
The staff of the general guild starts talking after making a relieved face.
"Yes, it is"
The expectation was correct.
"There is Mr. Aid in the reception room, so please listen to him in detail."
"Is that so? I understand."
"Then I will guide you to the reception room, so please follow me."
"Yes"
I reply without thinking and follow the female staff member. And when the staff stood in front of the reception room, she slammed the door! Knock.
"I brought Mr. Elleina."
"Okay, let me through!"
When I heard the words of Instructor Aid heard from the other side of the door, the staff opened the door and entered the reception room with me.
"Good morning. Aid instructor"
"Oh, good morning. You can even talk. Sit on the sofa."
"Oh, yes"
I sit on the sofa after replying so, but is the explanation of the exam good in this way? I would think.
"I'm sorry at once ... Your D rank promotion test that was scheduled to be held today has been cancelled."
"Eh !? Is it canceled?"
Why is the exam canceled?
"Yes, I can't afford to test because I was driven out by the response to the zombie horde the day before yesterday.
Moreover, he seems to want manpower for the investigation, so the more staff members come from the surrounding towns, the more he puts effort into the investigation. "
It was so important. Hmm? Isn't this really bad if it gets caught?
"That's why your D rank promotion test is canceled, and we will report to you as soon as the date and time are decided."
"... I understand. Aid instructor"
That's right ~~~, I was enthusiastic to accept it, but it was canceled ...
Instructor Aid was staring at me with a bitter smile.
"Well, I know I'm sorry, but don't you think it's an opportunity to extend the date and time of the exam?"
"Hmm ..."
"Don't you think you can plan better?"
Let's think about things. However, it's a pity that everything I prepared this time was carried over to the next. The number of people who feel that feeling is higher than that of others ... But if you switch your feelings, you may not feel so depressed.
"... That's exactly what Aid instructor says. It might be more correct to think that there is more time to prepare than ever before."
"So don't be so discouraged."
"Yes, thank you Aid instructor."
Yeah, thanks to Aid instructor.
"Did you understand ... OK! My requirements are over, so you can come in!"
eh! ?? Who is Instructor Aid talking to?
When I think about that, the door opens without knocking, and someone I know enters the room.
"Good morning El-chan"
"Mr. Lizrina !? Why are you here?"
"That's why I came here because you have a story."
There is also Guell! ??
"Thank you Elleina the day before yesterday, because you didn't let me get raped by the orcs."
"Nyauu !?"
Why is there also Murina?
"She really has a pretty reaction."
"Hinyuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!?"
"Kora Kora Keith, don't make fun of Elleina."
Keith! And there's even the Duke of Baldeck! ??
"Mi, Minyashan ... Do, Dooshute ... This, here?"
Slurred speech doesn't turn around, but I have to ask why everyone is here.
Guell starts talking while staring at me.
"Well, I came to the General Guild because I have something to ask Elleina."
"Straw ... Wow, what do you want to ask me?"
Guell nodded when I heard that.
"Yes. I want to ask you about the day before yesterday when zombies were mass-killed in the meadow."
"Oh! Yes, I understand. What do you want to hear?"
I don't think it's true, but ... it's not like that. Really not? It's okay! ??
"Are you the one who defeated the hordes of zombies the day before yesterday?"
"It's wrong"
My face seemed to be strong for a moment, but I answered Guell and others while pretending to be calm.
"... Is that so? Is it different?"
"······Yes"
It doesn't seem to be out. Maybe these guys were killed by me? I think I'm listening by speculation.
But this time the Duke of Baldeck speaks to me.
"Actually, Elleina, I investigated your behavior at that time."
What! ?? The Duke of Baldeck was doing that without my knowledge! !! This is really dangerous! !!
"Well, is that so?"
"The day before yesterday you left the inn at 4 pm after enjoying a meal with the Guells? What did you go out for?"
Mazu! I noticed that it was fitted while I was doing it now! ??
Cross-examine after calling me to the reception room of the general guild. In fact, Keith is standing in front of the window and Murina is standing in front of the door, always looking at me and I can't escape. If you run away, you will definitely be suspicious! !!
Yeah, that's what it says! The Duke of Baldeck came here yesterday because he didn't come to the inn where I was staying and tried to hear the truth because he wanted to hear the truth by calling out strangely or via the general guild. like. I thought I would run away somewhere, so I took him to the reception room on the day of my D-rank promotion test and carried out a siege like this! !!
"Well ... I went to the grassland at night for training."
"Well, training? By the way, the inn manager had a strange feeling to go to the meadow at night. When he came back, he had a pretty tired face." Was it? "
What! ?? Did you ask that grandmother before I knew it! !!
"I went out and trained with my usual equipment."
"And you know that the hordes of zombies were lying down in the west, right?"
"I know that too."
"Then, why did you come out from the west gate to the meadow?"
"Well, that's a coincidence, because I went home as soon as I trained."
Calm down, if you get upset or angry here, you'll be suspicious! Be calm.
"... I see, I understand."
I surpassed it! ...?
"Aid, bring the crystal of truth here."
"I understand. Chairman Baldeck"
When I saw Instructor Aid get up from the sofa and go out of the reception room, I have to do something in earnest! !! ?? I started thinking about how to make it on the spot.
"... Ah ~, Duke of Baldeck"
"Hmm? What's wrong with Elleina?"
"I'm honest, so I don't think I need to go that far ..."
"Well, is that so? Can you say that even if you hear the story of Guell, who was the first to investigate?"
Guell's story?
What am i saying While he looks like he said, Guell ignores it and starts talking.
"The night before yesterday, there was something noisy in the west, so please investigate someone. When the royal palace was contacted, we, the Second Knights, hurriedly organized an investigation team and headed west. "
Then, what was in the UAV at that time ... Guells?
"When I went to the scene, a horde of zombies was rolling. I was really surprised when I saw the scene."
"Really"
"Oh, and when I surveyed the site, I found three things."
"First, most of the zombies were wounds that were either part of the body or blown off the whole body, but only some zombies were different."
"No. What is it?"
"It had a hole-like scar. I was familiar with the scar."
"Isn't the wound like that hole an arrow?"
"No. It wasn't like being shot by an arrow. I'll keep talking."
Chi! ?? I didn't distort the story! !!
"The second is that there was someone's footprint. The footprint was a shoe mark, but it had a mysterious pattern. Ordinary footprints wouldn't have any pattern, but Elleina's shoes are different. Right? "
"Ah!?"
I inadvertently saw my combat boots. And the Guells who were watching such a situation became convinced.
"Third, there was a faint smell of you in the zombie colony, so I started wondering if you had defeated the zombie colony. So Elleina ... Can you answer honestly? "
Yeah, it's dangerous ... I'm completely out of control! ??
"U, Uuu ~~~~~~ ..."
What should I do ... How can I escape from this place? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !! ??
Liz Lina sits next to me as I hold my head and look down.
"Hey El-chan. We're friends ~~~?"
"Eh !? Uh, yeah"
When did you become friends? I nodded reflexively, though.
"I believe in El-chan."
Liz Lina holds my hand with a smile.
Stop it, Liz Lina! I believe it. Don't stare at my face with a 100% smile after saying that! !! I feel guilty about the words I just said! !! ??
When I feel that, Aid comes in after the sound of knocking on the door.
"Excuse me. Chairman Baldeck, I brought the Crystal of Truth."
"Well, put it here."
"I understand"
Aid puts the crystal of truth on the table after replying, and for some reason she smiles at me with a disgusting smile.
"Now Elleina. Put your hands on this. After that, all you have to do is answer our questions honestly."
Aid says with a smile while pointing her finger at the crystal of truth, so hate it! I would think. Because I'm turning my triumphant face! !! No matter who thinks it, it's awkward! !! This face is absolutely felt! !!
Huh! Sweet aid. You turn to say you've won completely, but I still have the last trump card! !!
"... I have the right to remain silent."
decided! You can't interrogate with this! !!
"" "" "You don't have the right to remain silent, so put your hand on it !!" ""
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah !!?"
This is an ant, oh oh oh oh! !! ??
After this, I became a squirrel who answered honestly.
