Chapter 77
Alright, then lets begin the 3,998th meeting of the Peoples Army Supreme Council~!
With the awfully careless scarlet-haired girls announcement complete, a giant clapped his hands.
Eh~, then first, there was a magic that erased the imperial capital, but I only know that I dont understand it at all!
Oi oi, whatre you sayin?
The giant unintentionally retorted, but the girl simply waved her hand.
It wasnt space-time magic or genesis, neither was it a fusion of fire and wind magic of course. In short, its a magic that doesnt exist in this world!
Her words had concrete to explain with, but they held a certain persuasiveness.
Whatre you sayin?
Therefore, I dont understand it! To begin with, magic didnt exist in Thors world right?
The giant warrior, Thor, scratched his head.
I was more into sports, wasnt too good with physics or chemistry
They didnt understand the meaning of his words, but everyone understood what he was trying to say.
To put it simply, Thor was slow in the head.
How about we change topics? Its about the hero though.
A young man with a huge staff spoke. There was a certain bitterness in his vague smile.
By the grace of water dragon Ranas power, he was deported to another world. Additionally, he was together with a high elf child.
A high elf!? Isnt that Corfus successor!?
Isnt that bad!?
Matching the young girl, Ferna spoke up as well.
The young man holding the cane, Yamato, made a slight nod.
From there, they spoke about various things; thing like the nations of Lemdria, Istria, and Labra. They also talked about various regions.
All of them were in the direction of stabilization. Towards being able to concentrate mankinds power for the Millennium.
The primary nations that would fight against the Demon Kings forces appeared to me Istria, Lemdria, Casalia, and now Ogress.
Ferna gave her report regarding Ogress queen.
To put it short, that girl is a frightening person.
What did she mean? Everyones gazes seemed to be asking that.
First of all, her Dragon Eyes. Most humans wouldnt be able to oppose her.
That was probably true. Even among abilities that held power in their gazereferred to as magical eyesthey were in a considerably powerful group. If activated imprudently, it could end with the other partys death with a simple glare.
And then there was her personal combat capabilities, those were also frightening. Even Ferna didnt believe that she could win against her.
I cant be certain because of affinities, but the only person among us that might win against her would be Yamato-san.
The leader of the secret society, Black Cat: Yamato.
As a matter of course, the executives knew his hidden ability.
Although she obviously knew the other executives hidden abilities, she still said that Ria was probably stronger than them.
Being able to survive Thermonuclear Darkness Exploding Hell, as well as Destruction of Heaven and Earth, shes a lively one isnt she? Rather, she isnt even a person at this point.
Even using Meteor Shower looks useless?
Azelford asked. If that was also useless, she really wouldnt be killable through magic.
That is a tactical grade magic, so it would be best to avoid that as long as possible.
The mages went silent. As for magic beyond that, there was the supreme magic of the space-time category, but no one there could use it.
So then theres no choice but for me to fight up close huh
Thor groaned. It was a certain victory for him as far as pure melee combat was concerned, most enemies would be silenced.
After that, everyone present talked about Rias capability in policy making and her military talent before adjourning.
It was only later that Ferna realized that she had forgot to speak of the thing concerning HAlt, but that was a story for later.
Fear assailed the city of Cornada.
A serial killer struck those who returned home late at night.
The street side prostitutes were sacrificed first.
Facing their tragic corpses, their intestines removed, Carlas revival magic was powerless.
The serial killer turned towards burglary.
Shops with poor reputations and the like were occasionally broken into by citizens as well, but the way the person did it was cruel.
Not a single person was left alive, everyone was killed.
Once too much time passes after a death, Carlas revival magic loses its effect.
And then, noble residences were finally broken into.
There were nobles that stood against the current administration among them as well, but because they were fortunately able to discover some in time, Carla was able to revive several of the people.
They said that the one to attack them was a tall man.
From start to end, they were all killed before anyone realized what had happened.
The nobles were killed particularly deliberately. They werent able to be revived even with Carlas magical power.
Carla-san, is she alright?
Carla had been so exhausted the past few days that Serge unintentionally muttered that.
Her mental exhaustion was extreme as well, but she had simply used too much magical power on revival magic.
She made sure to take days off to recover under usual circumstances, but even if she was able to save many lives, she had overworked herself.
Carla wasnt able to get the memories of seeing families mourn right in front of her out of her head.
In truth, this matter wouldnt have much of an effect on their administration even if they left it alone.
The nobles that were killed belonged to the faction that opposed Ogress reign, so they should have been even somewhat thankful for it, but they couldnt leave it alone. Not when it came to thinking about the publics peace.
Above all, Carla would never leave these sorts of things alone.
Still though, what in the world is his purpose here?
That was Serges primary question. Seeing the officials that were being murdered, even if it was likely from a party that wished to see Conadas rule stabilize, he could never imaging doing such a thing.
If it was something like an act coming from the demon tribe, why would they go this far? At the very least, Asuka wouldnt do something like this.
And well, thats whats been happening.
As for who Serge was blabbing into the sky to, it was Ria. It was a space-time magic called Far Speech.
It came with the disadvantage that the only person that could get in touch with Ria was Serge, but it still allowed him to report to her on a days events. It was simply an excellent magic.
Thinking about it normally, it might just be chaotic human nature, but
It was difficult to imagine that that was the case at this point. Most of those who were being killed were ex-Cordovan nobles and their children.
Well, please contact me immediately if you think of something. Ill come back as soon as I get a chance, too. Dont let Carla do too much!
Even if you say that its Carla-san were talking about.
Carla-san is it. Youve gotten pretty close, have you?
Her voice suddenly turning cold, Serge thought up an explanation in a panic.
Thats, uh, she said since I call Nee-chan Nee-chan, I should call Carla-san that too!
Hmm
When Ria gave her tentative consent to it, a voice called out for Serge. He was in Cornadas imperial court, inside a room that was given to him.
Serge-sama! Another horrible murder occurred! Carla-sama has already left for it!
Serge raised his hand to respond to the court lady, answering Ria.
Since thats how it is, Ill do something one way or another. Cya.
Who in the world would do something like that? It was possible in the case of the demon tribe, but that wasnt how Rei or Asuka did things.
Fio, I need to leave for a little.
Saying that, Ria strode out of her office.
