âSo.â
Now I knew that people couldnât speak fluently if they were annoyed.
The goggle-eyed knight looked at me, like a puppy that was exposed to rain.
âYou really donât know what I mean?â
âNo!â
Looking at the knight who answered immediately, my blood pressure increased substantially.
âDo you want to die? I should have told you earlier. Do you know I am listening to your words for hours? You did it deliberately, right?â
I had listened to his words for over 5 hours.
And it turned out that he didnât know about it.
âBut this is true. I have told you all I know. Except for these, I have nothing else to say.â
I really should have told him earlier.
Bullshit, it was my fault to listen to him without thinking about it.
I sat down dejectedly.
âAh...â
Well, I only had one question to ask the knight now.
âWhatâs your name?â
I had heard his name once before.
Although this time I had no chance to hear it.
âAruhan.â
âWhat about your surname? A knight always has an aristocratic surname, isnât it?â
âAh... I wonât tell you my surname.â
I had been thinking about beating him up so that he would tell me his surname.
And I could vent my anger by the way.
This time the mercenary nearby interjected.
âWell, donât inquire about other peopleâs private stories. You donât even know what it means when someone introduces himself with first name and surname.â
âI donât know.â
Really.
However, according to mercenaryâs words, it wouldnât be anything good.
I didnât have to inquire about other peopleâs wounds just for story.
So I give up asking the knightâs surname.
Now, let me learn some magic from magician.
Along with the existence of the doppelganger, I could threaten him to tell me some information.
However, I was startled when the magician turned around.
He got so old that I felt uncomfortable when I saw him.
The magician really looked like an onion.
There was a face of young woman under the face of man, and a doppelganger under that face.
The mercenary asked me.
âWhen will you tell us who is the doppelganger?â
This was a good question at the right time.
âI will tell you who is the doppelganger soon.â
My word drew their attention.
âSo...who is the doppelganger?â
âWait for a while. Letâs talk about magic first.â
I walked to the magician.
And I took him to the corner.
âCan you build a barrier that is able to block noises? If it can hide my figure, it will be better.â
âW...why? Why do you want that kind of thing?â
He spoke like a woman, as if it was normal for a man to speak in such a way.
Although he spoke with a low voice, it was different from the way a man spoke in vocalization and pronunciation.
If he was not the doppelganger, the truth must be that he was a female magician.
But I didnât have to show the doppelganger that hid in this womanâs body such incongruity.
So there were some questions.
âLetâs build the barrier first. Weâll talk about it later. â
Others glared at me and the magician, as if they wanted to burn a hole on us.
The doppelganger would feel pressure in this situation.
It wasnât a bad choice for the doppelganger to seperate me, who would reveal whom he is, from other people.
He would try to persuade me, or kill me first.
And I planned to coax the doppelganger properly (of course, using some force), and it was enough for me to get some information about magic.
âI... I reject!â
What?
âYou know who I am, donât you?â
The magician spoke sharply.
âYeah.â
As soon as I answered, the magicianâs face became ashen and he drew back hurriedly.
He shouted to the people behind me.
âHelp me!â
However, people just looked at him with an expression like âwhat is this old man doing?â
The magician made a gesture immediately.
The magician changed from an old man to a young woman quickly.
âThis is the real me!â
âUh... Doesnât she seem like the student of the Master of Maruathen Magic Tower?â
The mercenary muttered behind.
âYes! I came in with the appearance of my teacher!â
Before people understood what she said before, she shouted again.
âHelp me! The man tried to force me into a confined space while knowing who I am! â
What?
This situation......
âThis lascivious man......!â
What??? What man?
