Chapter 8 - What happened here?

Amazaki puts his hand on his chin and says

"Now what did I want to do, ahhh, to get rid of the bodies?"

"Normally, it was possible to dispose of the bodies in the river. All you had to do was tie them up with heavy cement and then throw them into the river. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a river near this place... Damn, how I miss Tokyo Bay. It was the solution to most of my problems with the yakuza."

As Amazaki remembers some of his past, he bursts out laughing

"Hahaha, yes, the Yakuza, it seems that they will not be able to take revenge now that you have come to this world, hahaha."

"Now let's get back to the heart of the matter. How will I dispose of the bodies and destroy evidence at the same time, above removing teeth and fingerprints and destroying the face to avoid identifying the body, but this is not the same world I was in. Can they do the same thing as in my previous world, or perhaps better?"

"Hmm... I think the best way to destroy all the evidence is complete burning, but how will I find the fire... Wait, didn't I hear something similar from that sound? I think it was a small fireball or something, but how will I use it?"

Indeed, how could someone who knew nothing about magic use it? What happened to him was nothing but an involuntary reaction that led to his understanding of that technique.

While he was concentrating and trying to understand and assimilate, information suddenly flowed into his mind, as if he was just remembering something he had been accustomed to doing for years.

Amazaki said in amazement

"This is just as weird as last time, so this is magic."

Then a small smile appeared on his face as he slowly raised his hand towards the two bodies while saying to himself

With a movement of his hand, a small fireball resembling a phoenix shoots towards the two bodies, growing bigger and bigger until that small phoenix becomes the size of a monster, colliding with the two bodies, causing a loud explosion that spreads to include a diameter of 200 meters.

"Boom"

The two corpses became mere charcoal, and you could hardly tell if they were human or animal

Amazaki said to himself in astonishment

"What... Isn't this destructive power a bit exaggerated... If I had not retreated quickly, I would have ended up with my own move, and it seems to be much stronger and faster than the one that man used before. Does this mean that he did not master it well or prevent himself from unleashing it completely, but it was He's in a state of anger, so I don't think he would stop himself in such a state. Does this mean that my ability does more than just grab? And does this ability only apply to humans?"

"Damn, I have a lot of questions to answer."

That malicious smile appeared again as he said to himself

"It seems that I will have to do many experiments in the future..."

A disgusting smell began to spread around

"Mmm... Damn, this smell is so disgusting. I better leave and find a hostel to stay tonight and maybe take a shower as well."

Of course, what do you expect from the smell of a burnt corpse? It should be perfume. Of course it would be disgusting. This is a disgusting smell that any normal person would start vomiting as soon as they smelled it.

In this way Amazaki left the place to look for an inn

............

"Is this the place!! "

A beautiful-faced, well-dressed girl with silver hair shining under the moonlight shouted at the old man

Is she an angel? This is what everyone who saw her will say, and yes, it is that fairy girl and the old man who accompanies her. They arrive at the place where Amazaki was just moments ago.

The old man answered with a look of despair on his face

"A..yes."

His old body won't stop shaking. What will happen when you learn that they are just bandits? This is the question on the old man's mind all the way here.

The girl responds confidently

"Okay, let's search carefully, maybe we will survive."

But that young lady suddenly realized that the place was full of black burns and a little blood spread around

"Wait, what are all these burns in this place? Was there a fight and it also seems to be of a high level as well and this… smell… ahhh… very disgusting hmmm…."

She notices two burnt piles a few meters away from her that look like a bag of charcoal

"What? Who are these two? Humans? animals? Monsters? A bag of burnt potatoes? Just what are they?

"And what happened here? Considering the condition of the two bodies, these burns are not from the fighting, but rather to get rid of evidence. That is, whoever did this does not want to be known, and he even killed his followers, or at least that is what I think because they are the ones who stole this jewel, and thus he will avoid any future suspicions." But of course everything I say now remains just an assumption."

The girl's features were mixed from frustration to anger. This was the only possible assumption for her

Don't believe in coincidences, and of course you won't believe that it was just a coincidence that Amazaki took her

Because all she can think about now is that this was either planned by one of the Five Families or even one of her traitorous family members who wanted her to fail.

She would not have thought or believed, even if she had been beaten, that it was just a coincidence that her subordinate was robbed by bandits, and by coincidence again, a crazy person (Amazaki) came and killed the thieves and burned them in a brutal way just to hide the evidence of their murder... Yes, all of these coincidences are for a brilliant planner like her. Impossible and crazy from the beginning

Because if Amazaki had happened to pass by first, the old man would not have been robbed because they would already be dead

Or what if Amazaki had not taken this path? The girl would have found the thieves here and recovered the jewel, but the matter would not be easy for the old man after that. Yes, everything that happened could be summed up by a very big coincidence.

As for the old man, when he saw all these brutal burns that caused these two people to die, he felt relieved and began to thank from the bottom of his heart for what had happened, and he considered it as if the gods had intervened to help him, because something as big as what happened now is something that he cannot be punished for because it is clear that the enemy was very strong and even If this proud young lady were here then she might not be able to defeat whoever caused this

But instead of saying gods, it would be more appropriate to say devil or monster, because such actions cannot be the work of anything other than demons and monsters.

As for the girl, she is still trying to search and comprehend what happened so that she can suddenly say to the old woman

"According to my analysis, there are only two theories I can think of to explain what happened."

"The first theory: A third party knew about the jewel and was powerful, even very powerful. He killed them, then stole the jewel and destroyed evidence of its existence."

The second theory: Those who stole the jewel did not want any rumor or news to leak that would lead to them, so they eliminated their followers and then burned them to avoid identifying their bodies and linking them to their family.

She sighed and said in frustration

"It looks like we're getting nowhere with this. We have to tell my old mother, she will know what to do."

The old man replied surprised

"What? Are you telling Her Majesty?"

"Yes, although I do not prefer this, I must send her a report, and the academy exam is scheduled for a week from now, so we will take advantage of this to investigate inside the kingdom, because the children of the five families will be there, so perhaps we will discover something about the missing jewel."
