Isekai Tensei no Boukensha - 272 Chapter 18-14 Interrogation

“So, what happened to the octopus dungeon?”

There was talk of stopping the flow of the river once and then inspecting the inside, but after all, it seems that no one can be found to work underwater, so I will solidify the entrance with stone and clay to block it.

After returning from Segen, we came to visit the Royal Castle while reporting on the dungeon, but after finishing the report, Primera was captured by Maria and Isabella, and Luna and Aina were also taken to a girls’ party in Maria’s room.When I was left behind, Tedda caught me talking about the dungeons.Incidentally, Namitaro, the only one to swim around after discovering the dungeon, broke up in the river halfway on the route to the King’s City, saying that I would take care of the report.

Since Ceigen is the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, I thought it would be okay to block the entrance without consulting the king, but it seems that the Guild of Ceigen has been entrusted with a certain degree of judgment regarding the dungeon. In this case, based on the judgment that the “reason why the water level of the lake in the dungeon” had risen is urgent, it seems that once the entrance was blocked, the Guild of Ceigen decided, and the royal family also admitted it.

For the time being, the nobleman who was present at the scene of the report said that there was opposition to blocking, but blocking was temporary, and if there was no effect on the water level, the condition of restoring it was written in the report from the guild, and the opposition soon disappeared.

What’s going on inside the ecosystem?

“It’s basically like a lake,” Namitarou said.However, it doesn’t seem that the entrance to the lake is the bottom level of the dungeon, and if you don’t, it’s as deep as the dungeon of Segen.That’s why there must be other unidentified creatures besides octopus. ”

Large aquatic organisms found in octopuses and lakes are not found in nearby rivers because the entrance at the bottom of the river is too narrow to exit, and the river does not suit the nature of the dungeon creatures.However, if it is a mollusc, I don’t think it is strange even if it is found in the river depending on its size, but the octopus is basically a creature at the bottom, and if it is small, it may be eaten by carnivorous fish before reaching the entrance.

“But that octopus was pretty hard, wasn’t it?”No, rather than being hard, it’s because of the elasticity that you can’t chew it off… if you cut it thinly, you can’t keep it round, right? ”

While recalling the tactile feeling of the octopus that was eaten as a souvenir in the past, Tedda wondered whether the octopus could chew through the fish, even though it was carnivorous.

“No, it’s impossible if it’s the size I defeated before, but it wasn’t that big if it was about 2m.”Maybe even a human with strong teeth and confidence in the power of his chin can chew a thousand times with a raw round bite.Also, when it comes to large carnivorous fish, the teeth are sharp on top of the sturdy ones, and when they bite, they spin quickly.If Tedda gets bit in the arm, she’ll be ripped off in seconds. ”

Tedda smiled bitterly as she stroked her arms as she remembered the carnivorous fish she had seen before.

“Speaking of which, Mr. Temma.” Did you go to see the cows on your way home? ”

“No, I can usually take a break and extend my legs to the habitat, but I didn’t go because I was late because I had trouble on this trip.”Besides, originally, the area near the cow’s habitat deviates slightly from the road from Segen to the capital city. ”

“I see… when did you go near the habitat recently?”

“I don’t know… I wonder if it’s been almost a year?”I’ve been busy preparing for the wedding.So, what am I charged with? ”

Tedda’s story was a little unnatural, and the rest of the questions were completely interrogated.Tedda didn’t try to hide it either, so she couldn’t help but notice.

“Well… it looks like there’s been a recent increase in poaching of cattle living in the no-hunting zone.”Like, it’s not that we’ve actually been able to see where we’re poaching, but some of the nobility has been making noise because they’ve been observing in some places in the last few months, and they’ve been finding traces of people attacking them. ”

Some aristocrats are mainly reformers.Probably because the poachers are too skilled to grasp their identity, they have, fortunately, put me under suspicion as part of their harassment of the royalty.

“If I were to cross such a dangerous bridge in the first place, I would ask you to nominate me to use the King’s connections to thin things, or I would ask you to buy the thin things.”It’s easier that way.

“That’s right, and even if Temma had poached, there would be no trace of blood left, and there would be no escape from the wounded cow.”

I don’t know how to say that, but if you throw it into the dimension bag or let Surly catch it the moment you take it down, it won’t leave any traces of blood.And if the wounded ox flee, he shall not flee from Silomar and Solomon.I don’t want you to underestimate the appetite and sulkiness of my cannibals.

“I wanted to make that clear, so was Tedda the only person I talked to?”

“Yes, because I am the person in charge of the idea… and since your Majesty (…) and your Imperial Highness (…) interrogated you (…), there are a few people who want to exaggerate things.”

Certainly, neither I nor the kings will care, but there are definitely people who try to make a commotion by putting their beaks in there.So, it’s probably easiest and quickest for Tedda, who is the royal family’s closest relative and a close relative on paper (Amy’s relationship).

“I don’t go to the cow habitat very often, but if I get a chance to go, I’ll pay attention to the herd.”Well, it might be less effective. ”

“Please, even if the royal family were to ask the guild directly to look around, give information about the culprit, or give a bounty on capture, I think it would be a deterrent to the poachers.”

Along with that request, you’re going to spread a rumor that I feel like I care about poaching because I’m being questioned.

When I use my name, I feel like Caesar is behind it… but I also name the royal family, so I told you to hold on to it.By the way, why did you say Caesar? Tedda wondered if she could use my name on her own, but she probably wouldn’t use it after all. In the case of the king, she might be reluctant to say anything to Maria, so she wouldn’t use it.At that point, Caesar could say, “I used it because I needed it” or “Even if the royal family noticed that the rumor had been circulated, I could appeal that it was such a shy relationship.”

As dense as it may be, Caesar is the royal personality of the royal family, but Caesar is the one who can read the air of the royal family.Besides, compared to the king, Lyle, and Luna, there is nothing troublesome about it, so in a sense, it is the person who is the least tired.

Well then… it’ll still take some time before Primera is released, so why don’t you come to the kitchen while I’m at it?

When I left the room to bring souvenirs in the kitchen in time, Tedda was wondering.Well, you can’t leave me alone because the kings are pressing me to do my part.

“So, Temma, what’s your souvenir this time?”

“That’s fun later… but I think you can expect it.”

I took Tedda with a bitter smile and came to the kitchen, which was arguably the best facility in the Royal Castle.The cooks in the kitchen only raised their hands lightly and called out from a distance when I came in, but when they checked Tedda behind them, they stopped moving for a little while after being surprised, and immediately knelt on the floor and thanked the majesty.And the chef, who noticed something strange, was angry at me for getting my hands and clothes dirty.

The head chef of the Imperial Castle was expected to be a culinary skill by his predecessor, while the eldest son of the head chef was also a celebrity who sat as a deputy head chef.By the way, if you hear a yell in the kitchen, most of it is this parent-child quarrel.Also, the head chef’s wife is a caterer and helper cook in the cafeteria, and his younger son is a self-proclaimed cook.I’ve seen my wife many times, but I don’t know her son.

When I handed over half of the octopus I got from Namitarou before the head chef, I took the octopus to the back of the kitchen with excitement.Even though that octopus was a souvenir for Teddy and the others, as it was, it was about to be turned into a practice platform for the chef, so I chased it, and the chef quickly cut the tip of the octopus into small pieces and chewed it.

I don’t think it would taste good without sewing it, but the head chef confirms the taste with a serious expression.In this state, it is likely that my story will not be heard, so I told the wife how to process the octopus and that “the octopus is a souvenir to the kings”, and asked the chef not to run away.

“If you ask your wife, she won’t eat you up.”If the chef stole a souvenir from the royal family, his wife and son would be banished from the capital.Badly enough, it’s a family reunion. ”

“That’s right. There’s no such thing as a boulder, but normally the head chef can’t help but be condemned to death.”However, it seems that the whole family will be caught up in the banishment from the capital. ”

As Tedda said, the king will not be condemned to death for food grudges, and he will want to make it a problem even if he complains inside, but if he does so, he will be banished because he can’t show it to others.Well, even if you’re banished, that family will adapt anywhere.

So, Temma-san, where are we going next?

“I see… let’s go to the training ground.”There would be someone there to deal with them. ”

You can squander your time in the library, but if you focus on the book, you may be late noticing when the Primera is released and returning late.At that point, even if you were to concentrate and be liberated, someone would come and get you, because it would soon tell you that I was there.

When I went to the training ground with such a light thought… not only was Ding the first to capture me and force me to fight in the final of the individual martial arts tournament, but Lyle, who came from the middle of training with Din, was selected by the Guards and the Knights to fight one-on-one with the Knights opponents (five Knights from the Guards and five Knights from the Knights).In addition, the Guards were always selected (to be precise, they recommended it to themselves), so they let the Knights fight first, aiming at where I was tired.Well, when the opponent switched to the Guard, I used magic that I hadn’t used before, so I could finish the match earlier than when I fought the Knights.Chris, who was the first to lose in the Knights, complained about that, but it wasn’t a rule that said no magic in the first place, so I got on with it and made fun of it.So I’m sure you’ll come to complain later.You’re still looking at me with a grudge in your eyes.

By the way… shouldn’t Tedda disturb you?

Since I had consumed the whole schedule (which was set up on my own), I tried to find out what was happening to Tedda, who had been left alone, and was stroking Lyle at the end of the training ground.Since Tedda’s strength is higher than in the past and her physical strength is increasing, it feels like she is fighting well from the side. However, Lyall is giving advice to Tedda who seems to be close to the limit by breathing on her shoulder, so she is rolling with her palm.

“Good job, Tedda.”

Tedda finished stroking Lyle, so I called with the water, but she seemed too tired and didn’t respond.

“Oh! Temma is tired too!”Can I just leave Tedda alone…?What?… Okay, I’ll be right there.You need to keep in touch with them! ”

Unlike Tedda, Master Lyle came to me with the feeling of good exercise, but he immediately heard the report of the subordinate who ran and made a serious expression.

“Temma, there seems to be an emergency.I don’t know what that is, but I’m going to tell you a story, but I’ll be right back in the mansion.Maybe we should go talk to Temma. ”

I’m worried about how Lyle said it, but now that I hear it, I don’t think I can hear any more, so I decided to rendezvous with Primera and return to the Mansion.Besides, I think that someone close to me is involved in the report, so it is better to assume that someone will come to (…) versus (…).

I decided that, and when I asked Din to pick up Primera, Din ordered Chris to pick up Primera, and I made sure that Ryden was ready in the meantime.

When I came to the Imperial Castle, it was a carriage pulled by Leiden, but I decided to return to Leiden in two because it might be an emergency.I can’t give out the speed of running through the suburbs like a boulder, but I decided it was definitely faster than pulling the carriage back.Well, of course we have to be careful about contact accidents.

“Temma ~! A customer is coming!”

Just in front of the Mansion, Amur, who seemed to be waiting, opened the gate and informed the visitors.Since Amur, the daughter-in-law of the Viscount, has never waited at the gate before in her position at home, it may have become a matter of high urgency.

“Who’s coming?”

“The usual three idiots and the Marquis of Sammons.”

“Marquis Sammons? When that happens, did the House of Houston have an emergency?”

If the problem happened at the Duke of Sangha’s house, it would come only from his brother-in-law, Albert, and if it was the Marquis of Sammons, it would come only from the Marquis of Sammons, or the Marquis of Cain.

However, I thought that the fact that the three families came together was because of the follow-up of someone who was neither a relative nor the owner.And the idea changed into a certainty after entering the reception room.

Normally, the Marquis of Samons, who is the most senior of the four, should be the center, while Leon, who is neither the owner nor a relative, sits at the center.

Temma, there’s something I’d like to ask from the Houston Boundaries House.

It seems that Leon’s request is political, and Albert is a witness of the Otori family, and the Marquis of Samons is a witness of the Frontier House.

Leon, the royal castle was bumpy, but it’s definitely related to the fringe territory?

Yeah.

Oottori-sama, this is right now about the […] and […] peripheral territories, but if this continues, it will be a problem for the entire kingdom

Because of Leon’s stance, the Marquis of Sammons made corrections in a different tone and atmosphere.

Leon, what do you mean?

It was fine to ask the Marquis of Samons, but I decided to ask Leon because it was a favor of the House of Frontiers.

“The Empire has invaded the frontier province.”

The words came back.
