Chapter 62 Report And Concerns Material
"From what I heard about the symptoms, it seems to be a mild tingling when taking a bath. So, I treated it on the spot. Of course, I also had the other two people show me their fingers."
"Okay."
I reported in detail to Privia-san, including the information gathered by Rosalier-san and the concerns I felt. Risleyria-san listened quietly to our exchange.
"They are twins, and the other girl also had similar dark spots. However, for some reason, the boy did not have any dark spots. To ensure fairness, I treated both of them in the same way."
"Okay, I think that's good."
"The first girl has been able to somewhat open up to me. She has made a promise to keep my Healing Attribute magic a secret from the other girl and the boy."
"Mhmm, I see."
"After that, the first girl told me that she has the ability called 'appraisal.'"
"Hohoo."
Privia-san showed interest as if leaning forward.
"Of course, through that appraisal, it was confirmed that the dark spots she had experienced herself was the dreadful element called 'Oso' and that the Oso poison had disappeared."
"Oh, that legendary skill. I can't believe there are people who actually have it."
So that was a legend. I didn't have it. I thought there might be a way to obtain it someday, but when I asked Maya-chan if it was 'exclusive for heroes,' it felt like a finishing blow. If they're heroes, Mahiru-chan and Asaya-kun must have it too, right?
I wonder what the conditions are. Do you need to have the light attribute? The holy attribute? Could it be age? If that's the case, it's an impossible game.
"With the ability of appraisal, she can confirm whether or not there is an invisible Oso. If I can continue to maintain a friendly relationship with her, she might help me with the investigation of Oso eventually. That's what I thought."
"If that could come true, it would be such a relief..."
I understand. I agree with that.
"Well, as I heard from Risleyria-san, there was a story that the 'magic tool in question may have stopped functioning due to the soaring price of magic stones.'"
"That's right."
"Yesterday, thanks to the investigation by Rosalier-san, we were able to obtain testimony that the magic tool is not operational, so I think it's almost certain."
"So it was true after all..."
Risleyria-san dropped her shoulders and looked down. It was the thing she was most concerned about.
"Yes. On a different note,"
"Do you mean?"
"The condition for summoning a hero was 'light attribute and holy attribute.'"
"I see."
"Privia-san also received a report from Risleyria-san that 'someone claiming to be a fallen clergy appeared.' Do you remember that day?"
"Of course, I do."
"That day is around the day after we were summoned."
"That's right."
"Considering the unimaginable situation of the two girls being affected by Oso poison in such a short period of time,"
"Wait a moment. ...The reason Daioraden summoned a hero?"
"Yes. The administrative officer with the hero told me, 'We want to investigate the cause of the Oso erosion together and find a solution, so we summoned someone with light and holy attributes.' But if..."
"That's right. You want to say, 'They may have been summoned as a sacrifice to be used to remove Oso from the water they drink.'"
"Yes."
"Well, we can't just brush it off with words like unpleasant."
"I agree. I heard that the boy and girl who became heroes are orphans. They said they'll be okay because the three of them grew up together like siblings. As for me, I lost my parents about ten years ago, and I don't have a lover or wife, so I don't have anyone left in that world."
"I see."
"But even so, if such foolish acts were done for such reasons, it cannot be forgiven."
"Absolutely, you're right."
"That's why I will continue to treat the people who were abandoned by that royal family. In the meantime, I will ask Rosalier-san to continue the investigation."
Did I finish explaining everything? It was too heavy for me to worry about alone. So, I'm sorry, but I thought I'd ask Privia-san and the others to carry it as well.
"So, what if? If you were to judge that the king is not worthy of being a king, what would you do?"
This is straightforward. She's asking with such an excited expression.
"Well, if I were to judge 'guilty,' what would Mother-Privia-san do?"
"Of course, I'd gladly support it."
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm serious."
Seriously? It's coming across just fine. Seriously.
"In that case, there's only one option."
"Should I ask?"
"Rosalier-san and I will infiltrate the royal castle and capture the king. Then, we will formally take over the country."
"Oh, I see. That sounds interesting. Why did you make that decision?"
"Yes. Risleyria-san, the people here in the castle town are said to be about 2000 in total, right?"
"Oh, I see."
Well, well. It seems like there's a bit of polite language mixed in here.
"We could take the townspeople and escape to Watterhill, but there are just too many of them. So, I thought it would be easier to take matters into our own hands and deal with the rulers who don't care about the citizens."
"You make a valid point. So, how many reinforcements do you need?"
"We don't need any."
"Hohoo?"
"Based on the feeling we got from infiltrating the 'Howri-something' mansion, Rosalier-san and I can handle it without being noticed. It will take some time, but I believe we can conquer it. Well, things might get messy along the way, but we can pretend it never happened later."
Wow, Rosalier-san, you have such a happy expression. Yeah, I trust you that much.
"Where does that confidence come from?"
"You saw it too, right, Privia-san? My 'ace in the hole'."
"Oh, yeah, that... I see. Ahahaha. An unstoppable invader, huh? No, there's no way we can defeat you."
Privia-san had a "well, well" expression, raising her hands and giving a wry smile. That's only half correct.
"I will absolutely not be killed. Even if I'm barely conscious, I can return to the battlefield right then and there. At the same time, I won't let Rosalier-san die. Well, even if I were to let her die, I'll make it disappear instantly. While doing that, kill one person, bind them, then revive them. I think I can manage anything with that cycle."
"I see. So, if you take over the country, will you ascend to the throne?"
"Absolutely not."
"As expected, it would be difficult to govern a place so remote."
"It's okay. If that time ever comes, I'll make Risleyria-san the queen."
"...Huh?"
She probably didn't expect the conversation to turn to her. She looks bewildered. It's amusing. It's hard to hold back laughter.
"You should just handle the country's management through the guild. With Ensgard as your backing, not much should go wrong, right?"
"W-Wait a minute. That's a bit too..."
"Ahahaha. That's a good idea. Yeah, I think Risleyria would make a good queen for sure."
"You're making it sound like it's already decided, aren't you?"
"Consider the situation. They've been neglecting the country's people and exposing them to danger for a long time. I honestly don't think that king has the qualifications to be a king. Even if he refuses to step down, you guys should forcefully remove him. Right?"
"That's right. First, we need to gather evidence. We can't act on just suspicions."
"True. Oh, right. Since it will take some time, come back over here too, okay?"
"Huh? But, it's a two-day journey by carriage--"
"It's okay. I'll introduce you to my 'ace in the hole'."
Hello everyone,

- An isekai work about the MC returning by death before being transported to another world along with his classmates. There's betrayal and conflict among them. Discover more here.
- Another fantasy project about an MC who is a magician with only enchanting spells. He is a member of a guild, reputed to be one of the strongest on the continent.

- Additionally, we have a worth-to-read project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and she asks him to join the war. But what does the MC say? He refuses. Is it because his pas love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past, or is he simply fed up? Discover the answers by clicking here.
We hope you enjoy reading these works!
