Chapter 50: Honest one

Part 1

“You said… You knew nothing about it?” (Sven)

“Yeah. It was bad luck. But well, you are safe, so everything is fine.” (Cry)

After hearing the situation, I gave my honest thought and Sven held his head.

After that agitated night, all the main members involved in the investigation of the 『White Wolves Den』 were gathered inside the Clan Master office in the Clan House.

There was Sven, the one who took command over there, his reliable party member, 『Iron Cross (Kurogane Juji)』, and a few Hunters from other Party. Gark-san and his right hand woman, Kaina-san. And a familiar researcher from the Empire’s 『Relic Investigations Division』.

The Clan Master Office also serves as a reception room, so it is spacious, but it was rather small when a large number of people gather there.

Maybe they went through something really awful, Sven and the other faces were portrayed with intense fatigue.

Looks like while we encounter a strange golem and received an attack by a group who was hidden in a burrow, they were also involved in some troubles.

Initially, their purpose was already annoying, as their request was to do an investigation, but I can at least give them my sympathy.

According to them, it seemed like I was hiding information and that create even more problems, but even if they say that it troubles me.

If I was really hiding some information, it couldn’t be helped if they were angry at me, but I really don’t know anything.

While watching the investigators frustratingly stomping their feet, I helplessly sighed on top of the sofa.

Is it because I am a Level 8 that I am often overrated? I am used to being complained to.

I am relatively incompetent. If I don’t train my body too much, even my memory will not be good. Moreover, my luck was the worse.

As a Hunter I don’t look for a fight, I am a respectable man (And this is not a quality to have as a Hunter).

Even if they told me that some strange Magic organization did some experiment, that is outside of my area of expertise.

Fortunately, no one died, so my only concern was one thing.

“That slime-like Phantom didn’t dissolve with Sytry’s potion, right?” (Cry)

“… Yes. There wasn’t any effect at all. Don’t kid with me!” (Sven) n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sven spat that to me.

I know more than anyone the effectiveness of Sytry’s potion. If her deadly potion didn’t work after being hit by it, it means that it was not Sytry’s slime.

The dreadful Phantom who attacked Sven and the other just looked a little like a slime, it was just a coincidence.

But where did Sytry’s Slime go…?

Gark-san, who was seated across the table and had been quietly listening up until now, raised his head with a vein popping up and said.

Contrary to his scowling expression, his tone was calm. But he can’t fool my eyes. Gark-san is seriously pissed.

“Cry. Sure, you are a… Capable man. And I don’t know how you got that information, and as a Hunter hiding his card is natural. So, I will not ask about it. But this time, this case should be handled by Zebrudia.” (Gark)

“Un, un… You are right…” (Cry)

Isn’t it fine to count on them…? Is what I want to say, but if I reply this way, the situation will probably get worse.

If it is not dangerous, I would like to cooperate, but there is nothing I can do.

Then, that researcher man, an old researcher I already met multiple times, crossed his arms and stared at me as if I was the cause of his parent’s death.

“Experiments on Mana Materials is one of the ten sins. Especially, 『Phantom』 related experiments are strictly prohibited in every country because of their danger. Empire citizens are obligated to cooperate with the investigation. Cry Andrich. Withholding information is a sin. It doesn’t change even if you are a Level 8.” (Researcher)

“… It is not like I am withholding information…” (Cry)

“… Perjury is the same. We have a Relic that is able to uncover lies. As you know, its result is absolute. Even with a godly fraudster, it is impossible to deceive it.” (Researcher)

“… It is fine for me. Please do it on me?” (Cry)

Well, I have been involved in a lot of things, so, I have some experience with proving my innocence with a Relic.

There is no pain and I have nothing to hide, so if they want to investigate my psyche, it doesn’t bother me at all.

To me who was undisturbed, the researcher scratched his thorny hair, without taking out the Relic. His eyelids were cramping.

“… Damn. That’s enough! How do you pass the Relic test! Always and every single time.” (Researcher)

Even if you say that…

Every single time, the Relic proves me right and they looked at me as if they saw a terrible nightmare. I am just not lying…
