67 It Just Keeps Getting More Troublesome.
"Were you so light!?
"Yeah, I don't know. What do you say? That's just so... you didn't think, did you?
The voice of Ain's surprise echoes in Professor Oz's room. Ain was stunned when he was glancing at the first dossier as directed by Oz, coupled with an explanation from him and a surprising fact.
What we're looking at now was the Red Fox, a distribution of their past.
"... you can go all over the continent."
"This investigation took the most effort. I can't say I had a hard time though...... Anyway, it was a guild favor."
"Alliance, please?
"Yep. Actually..."
The method is mainly the use of guilds.
No matter how much it was for research, I couldn't exactly run around this vast continent of Ishtal. That's why I used the money and asked the Alliance.
Its contents are "Reference to the material handling history of past demons". Valuable materials brought into the guild are recorded in detail in their properties and characteristics. They thought the Red Fox was being treated as a precious demon and asked them to examine their past records.
"I see. That's certainly more efficient"
While impressed with the way Oz investigated, Ain looked again at the material.
As a result of that investigation, "distinctive" materials had been discovered in a number of places. That has also been confirmed in the King's Capital Guild of the past, besides magna and ist. And of course it was equally confirmed in the adventurer town of Baltic.... Other than that, I couldn't be surprised to see that the material had been confirmed even near the countryside.
"To be honest, I thought he was living a little more in hiding."
"I have an enjoyable personality, for better or worse. Looks like a lot of people were free for a long time to see if that was sneaky. … as if they were observing people and races to investigate"
"... for what reason?"
"There's no reason. Sometimes they were smart demons, but they were also knowledgeable. It was just a lot of playfulness mixed in that desire for knowledge. For example, yes... what happens if you implant a demonic brain into a person's body? Cruel things like that were also being looked into in the play half"
A wealth of knowledge + a lot of playfulness as well...... what emerged from it was often cruel if you try it from the other person. But by the mixing of those two feelings, perhaps the Red Fox's head had no guilt either.
"It's very helpful"
"That's good. So His Royal Highness Prince Wang is after him, the Red Fox who was the executive of the Demon King. The red fox she and I described might be something else."
"... because you were free, are you?
Oz nodded honestly at Ain's words.
"Yep. We conclude that the sense of fellowship was the only thing that some of us had."
Not all the Red Foxes shared the same consciousness and purpose, saying it was only one collective. That's what Oz concludes.
It was nice to find out something new, but if I knew all this was important, Ain's head got a little tired. Many thoughts come to mind.
From then on, until after noon, he was taught by Oz for several hours.
"This has been spoken too long. Forgive me, Your Royal Highness."
"No, not at all. It really helped."
Even though I had a few breaks along the way, I'm still tired of all these stories. Ein, the only person still healthy in the line was Katima.
"Do you still want to stay in Ist?
"Yep. About ten more days."
"Then it's just fine. Tell the gatekeeper. Be sure to always want something that you find puzzling or something you want to hear. So let's call it dissolution for once today. It won't work if you pack too much...... I'll be here anytime, so don't hesitate"
Did you notice how Ein and the others got tired? If you think about it, I'm sorry you bothered to make time for me. I felt that way Ain.
Dew the feelings you feel sorry for without hiding them, and honestly tell Oz how you feel.
"... I'm sorry. As Professor Oz said, I need some time to sort things out."
"Ha ha. That's natural. So I don't care... even we researchers sometimes think so. Isn't that right, Master Katima?
To Oz's words, Katima nodded 'Yes, of course'. I'm sorry, but let me spare you once today, and I'll come back later to talk to you.
"Then His Royal Highness the King. I look forward to seeing you again. … but don't forget, the fox has long been said to deceive people." Red Fox with Researcher Temperament "as well as" Red Fox Playing Innocent "… pay attention to both of them"
With the materials we received today, Ein and the others decided to return to the Inn once.
In the last word Oz said, I felt the weight from what I had studied for years. Roughly two types of red foxes, both of which are basically obnoxious creatures.
Say hello and thank you to Oz, Ain. One line leaves the room behind.
When I left the room behind and went out into the hallway, it was still warm because of the heating throughout the building. But as I walked out, the cool air outside soothed Ain's flaming head. I'm comfortable with the wind hitting my cheeks that's blowing just a little bit.
"Hmm, but that's great."
"What?
When I go outside, Katima, who was quiet inside, opens her mouth.
"I only described him as a Red Fox, who was a Demon King's man, and I immediately expected Professor Oz to be close from it, so I thought it would be great."
"Oh I see. I'm sure you do."
I didn't hide it from you, but I only described it as a demon king's men. But even from such little information, he predicted and made me guess, so it's a big deal.
"It's researcher temperament, and those who play innocently...... they're both equally troublesome"
At the end of the day, there's no difference between either of them having a negative impact. If you can do whatever you want with your interest, it's not even here.
"... hmm"
"What's wrong, Mr. Chris?"
Behind Ain and Katima talking about Professor Oz, Chris is kind of thinking, yeah, roaring.
"Oh, no, I'm sorry. I was just wondering..."
"I see. But I have a lot to worry about as well, so when I get back to the inn, we'll sort it out slowly."
"No, that's not what I meant... yeah. After all, it's nothing."
Wasn't it a big deal, Chris pulled back without continuing with the next word. Chris must be tired too, that's what I thought Ein smiled at her quietly and started walking down the road to the inn again.
"Hmmm... but it seems like Master Katima didn't explain that the red fox was a" woman "..."
The words Oz uttered, 'The Red Fox who was the executive of the Demon King. The red fox she and I described may be something else'. Chris couldn't get this dialogue out of his mind.
—— That's her question. That question she uttered in a small voice is dispelled by the cold wind blowing the ist.
