Chapter 195 Let'S Interrogate
"'Regenerate.' Okay, is this all right?"
"What happened to me?"
"Yeah. I treated the Oso (Dreadful element) poison, and then adjusted the cause of your wings not moving a little."
"Huh?"
She seem surprised. Yeah, I did it without any preamble.
"Hey, do you remember how to fly?"
"Yes, I do."
"Try moving them."
"Like this? ... Oh, it really doesn't hurt at all."
Jillietta-san muttered a spell as she moved her wings slowly and then, just like Failroud-san, she slowly hovered up to the ceiling.
"...This is a joke, right? I can fly, right?"
For the people of Arlheave, flying must have been something they had given up on at least once. That's why they are so surprised. They are happy. They are crying.
After floating for a while, Jillietta-san landed on the ground, looking like she remembered something. Maybe?
"I forgot, Senpai."
"What's wrong?"
"Let's interrogate."
"What?"
"Over there?"
We returned to the underground dungeon. Bergalide, who had woken up, was lying there. Maybe because he heard a sound, he seemed to be trying to look this way, but he was blindfolded. He couldn't see anything.
He's growling or something. Well, of course. It's been left alone for a while.
"Oh, he's still lying there."
"Yes, I completely forgot."
"It's okay. So, Senpai."
"What is it?"
"How far can we go?"
"Wow."
"Wow."
Both Failroud and I are a bit taken aback. Because Jillietta-san's eyes are serious.
Since the blindfold is either off by his own strength or by accident, Bergalide is looking and glaring at us.
"First, can you look at that over there, Jillietta-san?"
"Oh, that."
"Yes. It's black, right? Maybe that's..."
Yeah, that's the Oso poison I did.
"Yeah, exactly. I used a special magic, you know, intending for him to taste it too. So, first, it's probably best for him to warm up with hot water, right?"
"That's a good idea. Let him warm up well since it's cold."
"It's quite painful..."
It seems that it doesn't come out on the fingertips, but it does come out on the toes, so he seems to be mentally prepared to soak in hot water. I see, different species have different symptoms of Oso poison. Depending on the species, the symptoms of Oso poison will also differ.
With a very nice smile, steam rises from the bucket-like tub. Even if it's not boiling water, it might be a bit warm. But it must be great during this cold season, except for the black stain of the Oso poison.
"Let's see... Hmm. It's a little warm, but it's just the right temperature for a bath."
Failroud-san has a relaxed expression, looking comfortable with both hands placed.
"What's the point of you enjoying yourself, Senpai?"
"Oh, right. Well then, shall we begin?"
"Yes!"
Jillietta-san replied energetically. She looked extremely excited. She placed a bucket in front of Bergalide. As soon as she removed the gag, Failroud-san dipped Bergalide's hands into the bucket.
"Ahh, it's hot! Wh-what's with this heat? It hurts, it hurts!"
I see, so this is how it is with Oso poison and hot water. It's a good lesson. Good people should be cured quickly, yeah yeah.
"This guy threw trash into the reservoir where we bought drinking water."
Wow, that's mean. But it's quite a blow.
"There have been sightings of young women being kidnapped, no, actually many have gone missing."
"What's that about?"
"I d-didn't do such a thing—aaah!"
Failroud-san is massaging Bergalide's fingers in hot water. It could be considered a form of torture in a way.
"In fact, did you come here to kidnap Tatsuma-sama, who is here?"
"..."
Oh, he's silent. This is a pretty bad situation, isn't it? Like a kidnapping.
"Oh, well, setting that aside for now, what about the people who were kidnapped? Bergalide-san."
Just the sound of my voice made him scream in horror.
"Ah, are you staying silent? Well, I guess I can't help it."
I place both hands on Bergalide's wings to target a specific spot.
"Rev Regenerate, Middle Recover. Oh, the feathers disappeared nicely."
Quick treatment before pain and bleeding occur.
"Wow, this is amazing."
"... This is the first time I've seen magic that can do this."
"Failroud-san, you can take off the restraints and blindfold. He can't escape anymore."
"Yes, understood."
Bergalide probably didn't understand what I meant by 'can't escape'. So he quickly untied the restraints.
"You can never go back to your hometown again. Even though it seems so close."
Jillietta-san keeps saying things with a happy expression. I see, so he felt uncomfortable on his back.
"Ah, my wings..."
He's touching his back and waist in shock. Since I made them disappear and treated them immediately, there's hardly any blood. Yeah, I'm controlling it well.
"I thought this would be the best torture. Did I go too far?"
"No, he deserve this for what he has done."
"I see, but it's not enough yet. What happened to the people he kidnapped?"
Bergalide, who was on all fours, seemed shocked and might not have heard Jillietta-san's question. Wings seem really important to the Celestial Race.
"This guy is known in this town. Even if he runs away, people might throw stones at him. He can't fly."
"There have been reports of more than one young woman being kidnapped..."
"...Kill me."
"Huh?"
"What?"
"What?"
We couldn't believe our ears. Did he really just say that?
"It's not worth living to be humiliated like this.. Go ahead, kill me."
"Wait a minute, Bergalide-san."
"What?"
He's still being so bossy?
"Before that, can you answer our questions? What happened to the people you kidnapped?"
"――Cough."
Blood started coming out of Bergalide's mouth. I guess he was planning to escape.
"Ah..."
"What the..."
"How awful..."
"Hey, what's up? Trying to escape with your tail between your legs? Why are you looking so proud? There's no way you can escape, right? 'Full Recover,' huh?"
It's not just a loss, so it'll be fully healed with this. Look, he's starting to look despairing.
"You're amazing."
"I didn't think it would come to this."
Then Bergalide puts a hand on his waist. He takes out a knife from somewhere, stabs himself in the chest, then pulls it out and without hesitation, slashes his own throat.
Is this like seppuku over there? Maybe he's a noble or something, and he's been taught to choose death rather than show disgrace.
"Why are you so happy? Do you want me to say, 'You did great' or something?"
He's smirking at the mouth and eyes. But, you know, he's naive. Even that Rosalia-san broke, didn't she?
