The maneuver to lure out the monster, which might have taken over Bojek's body, was a simple one.


You will move your bedroom to the temple under the guise that Arnold's condition has deteriorated.Travel is done in secret, in the middle of the night, by a very small number of people.It was a plan to recruit Bojek into a small group of people and deliberately make time for Arnold and the two of us to grab their tails.

Just in case, the Arnold you're carrying is a fake - Mr. Zeke is posing as Arnold.The hair color and hairstyle are at least similar, but if you look at the face of the stone, you can see that it is a fake. Therefore, we decided to carry it in a coffin with an appropriate reason that we wanted to stretch the barrier when carrying it.If you don't actually open the lid, you won't see the face of the person inside.

The real Arnold, who replaced the fake Arnold-Sieg, was supposed to secretly transport me, Merzedes, and Leon to the private home of the village chief, Mr. Hagen.After the delivery is completed, stand by.You just have to wait for Zeke and the others to grab the monster's tail.

On the night of the operation, I took out a white (silk) cardigan from the back of the drawer and wore it.It is slightly cold at night. Besides, wearing this will be the "proof".

I watched sneakily as the fake Arnold was carried out of my room window.Make sure they're completely invisible and head to the back door of the private house where Arnold slept, the secret rendezvous point.

So I was waiting for Leon, who carried a large baggage on his back, and Merzedes, who looked just like usual.

It looks like you've gone.

Leon muttered in a small voice, carrying his luggage back.At that time, he noticed that he was tying a white (silk) cloth to his right arm.It's something I don't usually wear.

On the beat of his back, a cloth stretched out and hung on his luggage.From there, I could see Arnold's sleeping face as he was fast asleep.

― ― Yes, the real Arnold will carry Leon to Mr. Hagen's private home.

Leon-san, are you okay?

"It's heavier than I thought..."

Gugu, and Leon, who was caught between his eyebrows.Carrying a tall man on his own would be a great burden, but we have to ask him to do his best.

The three of us set off slowly.I was worried about Leon, who was out of breath, but I walked alongside Merzedes, who looked the same as usual.

Mr. Hagen's private home is not so far away.She called out to Leon, who was a few steps ahead, to encourage her.

We'll do our best in a few moments.

Leon managed to make his way through the steep, rough breath.We watched it from behind.

"Here we are..."

I eventually arrived in front of Mr. Hagen's private house.

The front door is not locked because we've already talked.When I opened the door, Leon wielded his last breath and walked down the long corridor.

"I'll put him in the guest bedroom."

Nodding to Leon's words, Merzedes and I settled down on the couch in the living room.

No conversation. The heart was gradually starting to get noisy.

Gachari heard the door open behind her.Looking back, Leon was standing there wiping the sweat off his forehead with his arms.

Well then, Laura, I'll move to the temple, please.

“Yes, thank you. Take care of yourself."

I smiled as I stroked my twitching cheek.Then Leon looked down at me with a serious expression and glanced at Merzades, who was sitting beside me.

"...... please take care of Senses as well"

It was a low, vigilant voice.

I nodded slowly, and Leon returned to his heels.After a few seconds, I heard a heavy door close in the distance.

The silence that fell again. The sound of the clock's hands echoes the burn.After checking the time, I took a few deep breaths to calm myself and called out to Mr. Merzedes.

“I'll keep an eye on Arnold, so take a break.”

Merzedes nodded with a vague expression.

I stood up from the sofa with a laugh.And just before leaving the living room, I kept my hand on the door knob and called out to her back as usual.

"Good night. Take a good night's rest."

"... good night"

I had a wonderful dream, and it didn't come back.

Arnold enters the sleeping room and sits near the wall with the chair in the center of the room.His heart was beating violently.

His hands trembled with tension. All this time I resented Arnold's sleeping face, which he slept without knowing anything about.

(It's okay, it's okay...)

Repeated deep breaths, fingertips quivering, gripped the “it” hidden under Arnold's pillow, hiding it in his right palm, and put on the glasses stored in his left pocket.

- Tricks, tricks, tricks, you can hear footsteps.I already knew the true nature of the footsteps.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer.And stopped in front of the door of this room.

I desperately suppressed my body, which was about to look back.Kee, the door opened small.

I leaned against the wall and looked like I was asleep from behind.Perhaps you were looking at it from the gap between the doors, and "it" completely opened the door.

Then, one or two steps, and I stepped into the room ─ ─ and the magic circle on the floor activated.

"--what!?"

The light emitted from the floor is very dazzling.However, I knew that the magic circle would glow beforehand, and I avoided being dazzled by the special glasses I wore earlier, which might be closer to sunglasses in terms of blocking the light.

Surprised, I threw the magic stone I had hidden in my right palm at the person whose eyes would have been crushed by the light.The moment it hit the human body, the magic stone changed into a shape similar to a rope, and the person caught in this trap was automatically tied up.

It took me a while!

Screaming, he was bound by a magic stone and looked up at me - Mr Merzedes.

No, it's not. To be exact, the monster that took over her body.

"Hey, you're the wrong person. Let go of me."

Ms. Merzedes - The monster smiled weakly and tried to escape.But I was convinced that this person in front of me was not the usual Mr. Merzedes.

Because she is not wearing the “thing of promise”.

"Then why aren't you wearing a white shawl?"

“How's it going?

Women distort their faces like they don't know what they mean.

I decided to sow on the wretched monster caught in the trap as I aimed.I'm sure they're coming from the waiting area to buy time for Leon to get here.

“The real Mercedes was going to wear a white shawl today.And you were supposed to give me a nice dream, a goodnight greeting. ”

--Yes, the person who had not been taken over by the monster was promised to wear something different from the clothes he normally wore tonight. For proof.

Not only that, but there was another promise between me and Mr. Merzedes.Tonight's goodnight greeting will be "rest well", while "have a nice dream".That was what I and Mr Merzedes said together.

White (Shiro) proves that he hasn't been taken over by a monster.

I am a white cardigan. Merzedes is a white shawl.It is a product to prove that I am white (silver), which I decided in advance through a letter meeting.--The meeting letter was burned down as soon as I read it.

"You were eavesdropping on our conversation, weren't you?The first plan is to let the monster help you move the fake Arnold and aim for his tail. "

I don't know where the monster that took over Bojek's body is listening.If we dump his body temporarily, we might be able to hide in the dark like a monster.Fearing that, we were trapped twice on the assumption that the operation was being stolen.

The first maneuver of verbal meeting and the second maneuver of written meeting.If I knew that the operation hadn't leaked to the monster, I was going to carry out the first operation as it was.

To see if the operation was leaking, we decided to wear the landmark white on the day.Except for Mr. Bojek, we decided that if one of the members of the operation who was not wearing white showed up that day, we would move to a second operation.

"When I heard that Merzedes and I were waiting on the side of the real Arnold, you told me that you wanted me to help you move Arnold, and you" switched "to Merzedes' body."

It must have been exactly what the monsters were after.I was going to take over Ms. Merzedes' body and target the real Arnold, a lethal guard.

- But for us, it was exactly what we wanted.I dared to ask Melzedez to send a message to Bojek, thinking that if the monsters had stolen the plan, they would have “switched.”

I thought that if I had her magic power, I would be able to suppress the movement of the monster to some extent.In fact, even though it was tied up by a magic stone, the monster was quietly kneeling on the ground and did not seem to be attacking.Merzedes must be resisting - just like Arnold used to be.

I used a letter for consultation on the second operation.Hand over the letter with a casual chat at hand and burn it as soon as you finish reading it.

I thought it would be extremely unlikely that a second operation would be leaked if I used the letter.In fact, the monsters didn't seem to know.

The second plan was very simple.Magically set up a trap in the guest bedroom where Arnold sleeps, and I throw a magic stone at him to capture him. That's all.

Incidentally, the chair I moved in had a stopper-like mechanism that prevented the room from working in a trap.By moving the chair outside the magic circle, the stopper was removed, and the next time the door was opened, the trap was activated.

"The Elves are a race with powerful magical powers."Among them, Ms. Merzedes' magic power was even stronger.... didn't you wonder how you could have taken over the body so easily? "

The monster finally understood the situation she was in, and Melzedez's beautiful face looking up was ugly and distorted.I would never do such a face if it was her.

"Because Mr. Merzedes didn't resist."Because that was our plan. "

Yes, Ms. Merzedes dared to hand over her body to the monster.It was all to grab the tail of the monster lurking inside Bojek.

─ ─ The door behind the tied-up monster opened forcefully.

It was Laura Sensé who thought of this double trap.

Leon-san!

The light emitted from the magic circle was quite strong, and the curtains were open on purpose, so I could see it from the outside.Seeing that light, Leon was convinced that the monster had fallen into a trap and rushed from the waiting area.

The only way for the monsters to move was to show them no more.That's why I dared to keep the others away from Arnold by my own powerless side.- Good, it worked.

The aim was perfect, Rock Sensen.

Leon's body was tied up even harder than Melzedez's.You can't hurt her body.

"Here, drink it."

Leon opened Merzedes' mouth with as gentle a touch as possible, and poured the prototype he had prepared into his mouth.There was no particular resistance, and the throat moved very quickly.

The next moment,

Giiiiiiiiiiii!

Unlike Merzedez's voice, her body slumps to the floor as she thinks a low scream shook her eardrums.I rushed over in a hurry and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Mr. Merzedes, are you all right?!"

Mumbling, Merzedes' body rises.Thinking of it, I lifted the restraint of the magic stone and smiled at me.I'm relieved that you're the usual Merzedes.

"Oh, my God! The prototype that Laura made is really amazing."

I didn't think the monster had taken over the body before.Ms. Merzedes stood up with no one's help when she scratched the hem of her clothes.It seems that there are no injuries in particular.

This second operation was what I said.After somehow succeeding, the door of the room opens as I bite my sense of relief and achievement.

It was Leannehard who came in.

I found it, Lord Merzedes.

"Oh, really? Good, you haven't been taken outside yet."

- Examples of what?

"I'll explain it to you later," Merzedes smiles in a good mood.

I don't know, but Leannehardt brought me the "good news".

Well then, let's go to the temple.

At Merzedes's suggestion, we left Leon and several Rustu people as Arnold's escort to the temple.

Visitors to the temple were awaited by Sieg, who disguised Arnold, the people of Rustu, who cleaned up after him, and Bojek, who lost consciousness.

"Even after you" switched "to Master Merzedes, you didn't completely liberate Master Bojek."It seemed like a puppet with almost no consciousness. "

According to Sieg's report, Bojek collapsed unconsciously in the same way that he gave a prototype to the monster that took over Merzedes' body in Hagen's private home.It seemed like the monsters were safely defeated.

After checking in on each other, Zeke repeatedly thanked us,

Laura-kun, I'm sorry to trouble you again. Thank you very much.

Suddenly, I was called from behind.Looking back, there was...

Mr. Ingrid!

Mr. Inglit with a large cane in his chest was smiling.

"Ah! The Inglés have retrieved it!"

Merzedes, who stood beside her, rushed over to Ingrid with a smile on his face.And then I said, "Examples of bumps" again.

"Um, for example..."

As I walked up, I asked.I told you earlier that you would teach me, so it shouldn't be a topic that I shouldn't be stepping in on.

As expected, Mr. Merzedes answered with a smile.

"This cane is an example of a bump."I think the monsters attacked the village because they wanted this. "

─ ─ Yes, Sieg said that the monster that attacked the Elf Village and took over Bojek's body had a purpose other than the Demon King's power sealed by Arnold.It seems that its original purpose is the big wand in front of us.

Do you think the monster entered because the wand was gone?

"That's right. The monsters disappeared suddenly after they left, so I thought maybe the monsters had manipulated someone in the village."

Suluru and Ingrid stroke the cane.In fact, it seemed as they had expected.I haven't heard where you found the staff, but it must have been hidden in Mr. Bojek's luggage.

"That's why the village chief asked the people of Rustu for protection... and for surveillance in an environment where they can't escape."

I see, that's what it was about.

The wand that disappeared must have been important to the Elf Village.That's why I wanted to leave all the villagers in an environment surrounded by the barrier and unable to easily disappear.I didn't want you to protect me, I wanted you to watch me.

But what was the wand I wanted to protect so far?The large red stone stuck to the tip is impressive, but the stone looks dark and cloudy.

Well, let's go deliver it to the village chief.

Inglés nods face to face with Merzedes.And I turned to the green eyes.

--Apparently, he was going to take me to the village chief.
