Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru!

The sound of a door knocker announcing a visitor echoes the eight-key mansion in Imperial City.

Realizing the sound, Fermenia paused her study of witchcraft and headed to the front door.

After a while, the words conveyed from her back through the front door to Shuiming were, in a way, expected, for him, such as whether he had finally come.

"Lord Swimey. This is the Imperial Police."

On the arrival of the problem, Shuiming tells Fermenia, who seems to have a serious face, that she has settled down and said a word "OK".

Current Shuiming apparently played a role in focusing on recovery for a few days, and was in much better shape than before. It's still far from being in this condition, but it's still back to a level where there's no problem in carrying out everyday activities.

In order to recover the period that had not moved when it hit me, I thought, well, what would be a good place to start, this was about its arrow tip.

Are you troubled with me? Lefir, who was listening to Fermenia's report next door, also asks with a harsh look.

"Gendarmerie? What do you want to do, Swimei?

"Right... I'll see you first"

"But when I met him, I saw him. That's..."

"I know."

Informing him that it was not without thought, Shuiming heads to the gendarmerie who had made him wait at the front door. It can be a bad situation in some cases, but leaving it waiting doesn't start.

Speaking to the gendarmerie waiting at the edge of the front door, he turns around and shows a polite courtesy.

He was dressed in a neatly organized uniform and as clean as he seemed, in a crisp manner, and was also polite in his language.

"I'll see you first. I belong to the Third Gendarmerie of the Imperial State. You're Mr. Swimey Yakagi, aren't you?

"Yeah. What brings you here today?

To put it bluntly, Mr. Goatee would like us to accompany him from now on.

The gendarmerie replied so politely to Shuiming, who asked in vain. As I said, there are several signs outside the door. Perhaps they will also be taken to the gendarmerie's stuffing, where they will dig roots and dig leaves to hear about the situation at the time. Besides, Shuiming exchanges troubled gestures and arranges words.

"Even if they say so...... I'm sorry but I'm not feeling well yet, so why not come back later?

"That's... that's not how it works"

"Saying?

"Yes, if you do not respond to the request for appearance, you will be ordered from above to bring him in by force."

Compulsory is also noisy. But the gendarmerie, who speaks so, is also rubbing his temples with his fingers because he is in trouble. That probably makes me guess I'm not feeling well. Something like I can't even say it too strongly.

... more than the gendarmerie has forced him to say. In any case, the accompaniment is inescapable. Even if we spent some time here doing magic, other gendarmes will visit us again. If we don't do something about it, the situation will remain the same.

"We know the circumstances, too. Could you please?

Once again, the gendarmerie responds poorly. Then Lefir pulled the hem of his clothes, which he had refrained from behind the watering. As Shuiming brings her face closer, she says, turning her inner worries into a rugged face.

"... Suimei. I don't have a good feeling about this."

"Yeah, me too. But I think we're gonna have to follow you here."

"Are you sure?

I want to know what's going on at the scene of the search.

Yes, besides Liliana's whereabouts, that was something I wanted to grasp. Fermenia is still being interviewed, but we do not know the status of the Imperial investigation at this stage. Sometimes it was just fine because I was about to start moving.

That being said, Refill was still mumbling and pointing his mouth in an unconvincing manner.

It was Fermenia who moved to convince her like that. I'll leave you to it, and I'll get you out of here.

"Refile. I'll follow you. So don't worry."

Mizumi asks back.

"Are you sure?

"It's for Refill."

"... right"

Shuiming could only laugh bitterly at the answers that were not even nibbly and at Fermenia, who had turned his eyes to Zito.

Fermenia, who denounced Shui Ming with a glimpse, turns to Refile.

"I will be in charge of Lord Swimey. Lephire, wait here."

"... yeah, okay. Regards, Suimei."

I hear a sinking voice like I finally squeezed it out. Besides worrying, there must be some worries. Lefir also has an itchy tooth. Being smaller has forced me to withdraw from the rough events, and I can't even do what I've been able to do properly. A definite remorse seeped into her mouth, which seemed fuzzy only a few moments after she turned her back, as an expression of her insistence.

Shuiming left the house with Fermenia, caught in her lonely back like that.

Ming and Fermenia were taken out of the city by several gendarmes. It is an unsound situation where the front and back are sandwiched by the gendarmerie and taken (...), but since it is not a sinner or suspect, it is practically treated politely by them and so far has not been treated badly, etc.

According to Fermenia, the imperial military and gendarmerie have strict discipline in place, so for the most part the response to the opponent will also be in good physical shape.

Huh. I've heard that from Refile before when I just came to the Empire. The Imperial Army has strict discipline, so the quality of soldiers is higher than in other countries. Is it the strictness of German discipline that comes to mind when I hear that? Maybe this country is also running down the path of modernization as a military state, just like his country.

The imperial capital Philus Filia, even if it tries to make the city and take people's lives, is modern, unlike Metaire, the king's capital of Astel, and as far as we can hear, it is a great pluck from other countries, he says.

If industry develops as it does in the other world and as it does in the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, it could also be the second dance in the other world. If modernization progresses and humans in this world acquire science and technology, laws of physics, the mystical place will eventually be destroyed and the place of the Spirit will disappear. In that case, the mystery will follow a path of decline.

Humans are still in harmony with nature and mystery, but we do not know what will happen. Which is better is hard to put on, but...

"Lord Swimey. It's been a long time since the air's been out there."

"Hmm? Yeah, you do"

To the voice of Fermenia, Shuiming agrees so.

She's right, it's been a long time since Shuiming left for the city, too. I haven't even taken a walk outside to distract myself since I wore out my Astral Body, since I was almost asleep.

And the city I haven't seen in a long time even looked like it was floating somewhere.

The inhabitants of Imperial Capital are softly restless. Stealing the neighborhood at a milestone in behavior is a way of paying attention as if you were alert to something invisible, and your heart only mixes fright with the children who are running outside, making you look relaxed.

Fermenia, who tried to put such a feeling in his mouth, seemed to have guessed,

"Liliana Zandaik seems to have been nominated while Lord Suimei lay low, and this is how the Empire is doing all the time now"

"... I expected it, but you're making a scene."

The answer that Shuiming gave Fermenia was sinking back to back with the word "within expectation".

"It's now clear who the suspect is. It must have increased the sense that the danger was close."

"But even though I'm a soldier from the same country, I don't want to be frightened..."

"Liliana Zandaik was originally recognized as a subject of awe both inside the Empire because of her use of unidentified magic, her status as Imperial Twelve Yukie, and because she was placed in a peculiar position in the military. With that in mind, this change is also a natural flow."

"If you're a city person, you're finally here."

Fermenia nods. But to the affirmation sent, Mizumi can only produce a sigh now.

"You're a child... no, because you're a child"

Normally, it takes the right years to gain strength, but Liliana has a high power as a wizard, contrary to that. Being young and having that much power would have strongly fuelled people's awe. Plus, if there's any word or deed that intimidates that perimeter, it'll take a beating.

And Liliana has many enemies originally. Plus with this one, all the people in the city should be turned into enemies. I do not know what would happen if it appeared in public, because it is not easy to walk outside and this world is not nurtured by individual morality.

It could be hidden in a tall shadow, but that's not a good situation either. There is a verse from what the tall shadow said to Liliana that night that seems to be very suggestive. If we consider that it is being used, we will have to think together about being truncated.

Fu and Fermenia use magic to talk as Shuiming gazes at the distance around him. There is no change in the voice you hear. But the sound hasn't leaked around. It's whispering magic.

"... Lord Swimey cares about her a lot. I heard you exchanged words with Liliana Zandaik about a few times, how did you get there?

"Weird?

"No, that's not what I'm saying..."

"Fine. I know it's weird for me."

Shuiming turns when he makes a grin that's not so good, try to look up somewhere far away in the sky,

"... I don't know what to say. There's nothing I can do about it in this world, and I have to give it up, but where is it? I don't like that. If you don't give up, you do have a smile there, but you still don't like having to cry, do you?

"Lord Swimei..."

Yes. I just can't forgive you for having such thoughts in this world. that there is no salvation whatsoever and that there are thoughts that must disappear in tears. So my worries only increased. That girl, too, because she's tied up with such a smudge.

Shuiming rebukes in her head the words she heard that night.

- If no one needs you only by fighting.

Yes, that word in Liliana's mouth is nothing more than a mourning of her own misfortune. Those are the words of those who continue to be neglected by everyone and do not even have peace of mind in their presence as well as their place. That's why Mizumi can't leave her like that.

Fermenia asks as Shuiming thinks of Liliana's whereabouts.

"Is Lord Suimei's desire to return to the other world because he still has reason to fight in the other world as well?

"... what makes you think that?

"From the royal castle and from the actions and words of Lord Swimey since I got here, I just thought so."

"Well...... na"

So short, but vaguely answered, Shuiming looks around.

Then I noticed something.

"Speaking of which, will martial law not be laid?

The city looks unusual, but there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on residents walking around the city.

Cities of different worlds whose walls limit the size of the city have a good chance of becoming bowls with murderers, unlike modern times. Normally unnecessary outings are discouraged until a suspect is captured or encouraged to act in groups, but contrary, the city remains in a ostensibly normal state, moving vigorously, as usual, to the people and dwarves in commercial relations.

"As for that, Lord Brave in the name of the Salvation Church...... because there is also a parade of Lord Elliot. Now that the due date is approaching, there must be some trouble laying down martial law."

"I see..."

In the words of Fermenia, Shuiming had a point of view. If we lay martial law here, I suppose we see it as an obstacle to a later parade, and we haven't given that much notice.

If we were to stop residents' activities here, we could be feathers waving the opportunity to inspire folks in the corner on a stick, and with foreigners pouring in for a parade, there would be a blow to the revenues of the Imperial Capital. Then it would be a policy of meditating on the eyes for some things.

Just found out what caused the atmosphere, Shuiming asks the gendarmerie.

"Excuse me. May I ask where you're headed?

"It is the South Square of Philas Filia that will bring you here"

"South Square?

To the gendarmerie's answer, Shuiming frowns. I thought they'd take me to the gendarmerie's crawl for an extra investigation, but I don't see the intention of taking me to the square where I'm headed.

When the words overlap with the gendarmerie, the escort, the square, the word guillotine glimpses the back of your brain, but no way that would happen.

"How did you end up in the square?

Her Royal Highness Princess Graziella is waiting for you.

Mitsumi could only frown at the words of the gendarmerie. Uncertainty piled up another element of uncertainty. Naturally, there can't be a point.

Waiting means being summoned. However, so far, I have never been involved with such a frivolous person. Then why is such a person waiting for you? When Shuiming is surprised, he looks at me like Fermenia will supplement him.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Graziella is the third daughter of Emperor Nerferia. Once on the battlefield, it breaks the earth and breaks the enemy's scaffold, so much so that it is said to be the empire's most powerful wizard, a user of earthly attribute magic that it takes an alias with the Soil Unrest Emperor (Geo Marifiex)."

"I see... but the story is why the most powerful wizard in the empire calls me."

I can't find any relevance in this company with the princess. I don't know if it's a different case, but then I don't really know what to call it.

I uttered that question in quite a voice, but the gendarmerie does not answer it. Can't you tell me, or don't you know? I don't know which one, but he also gave a weak look,

"Her Royal Highness wants to hear from you."

"Of what?

"Mouth it from me..."

Can you do it? The core will mean that we have to wait until the caller speaks.

The question to the gendarmerie is temporarily stopped, Shuiming also uses whispering magic and asks Fermenia.

"Hey Fermenia. What kind of woman is that princess Graziella?

"As I said earlier, I am the empire's most powerful user of magic. You're a shapebreaker who does unscrupulous things, and you have a pretty tough personality."

"... Speaking of which, you were there when Trinity defeated Rajas, right?

"Yes, I was there too, so I exchanged a couple of words. He's a strong man to do nothing. Keep in mind that it can't be a glimmer."

"Right..."

Shuiming rubbed his jaw as he felt the presence of a storm in South Square, which was increasingly visible.

As Refile said, I don't have a bad feeling about it.
