Chapter 214 – Liana Lumenhark (4)
[Two days later. At noon. Then there will be a riot.]
Liana’s noble voice recorded in the pen resonated throughout the room.
‘… Her Highness she moved faster than expected.’
She thought that the timing of the riot would be delayed as she lost the approval rating of the commoners to me, but…
It seems that there was no particular setback in Liana’s plan for her.
‘Well, there’s no way Liana could make a plan that would be blocked so easily. …Because it was recorded about 5 hours ago, there are still about 34 hours left until the riot.’
Liana moves faster than she expected, but she should be able to deal with it as long as she knows the exact time the riot will start.
I let out a sigh of relief as I turned off the playback function.
Without this tape recorder, she would have lost her hands and would have been swept away by the riot.
As with Vivian, I always get a lot of help from the tools Tristia makes.
‘I’ll have to visit Tristia once the work is done.’
In the meantime, I’ve been so busy that I can’t help it, but I’ve neglected it too much.
In fact, not just Tristia, but Lucia, Bianca, Vivian, Lilith, Iris…
In addition to this, the neglected women’s team must be grinding their teeth.
‘…It must be very fast.’
After thinking about it for a while, I let out a wry smile.
It’s not too late to worry about things like that after everything has been resolved.
Now it was important how to stop the riots that were approaching.
I shook her head slightly to dispel her thoughts and thanked Mel Pisa.
“Thanks for your work. Melfisa. It really helped me a lot.”
“Oh… No. It is an honor to be able to help you.”
Mel Pisa blushed faintly at her honest thanks to her.
Mel Pisa’s face her did n’t quite capture her emotions her yet, but when she remembered the first time they met, her blushing her was a huge step forward for her.
“No. If it wasn’t for Melfisa… It’s hard to imagine.”
All I asked of Mel Pisa was to set up a tape recorder in her room if she were to leave her on her orders her.
It would have been nice if she had installed a wiretap that could listen in real time instead of a tape recorder, but since Liana was the opponent, that was impossible.
This was because, unlike a voice recorder, which had magical power built in quietly, wiretapping devices also had magical energy to transmit sound.
Of course, the movement is as minute as the electromagnetic waves from a smartphone, so you can’t feel the existence itself unless you’re sensitive enough…
‘Riana must have noticed.’
I gently suppressed the greed that lifted her head from her.
It was fortunate enough that the tape recorder went undetected.
“Melphisa, I’m sorry, but I have a favor to ask of you.”
“No. Young master. You don’t have to feel sorry for me. Just give orders.”
Mel Pisa responds by placing her hand on her left breast her.
It was really reassuring to answer without hesitation.
“First, inform Lucia of the current situation and seek her advice on how to staff her staff. Also, if Lucia orders something, she doesn’t have to report it to me, she just does it.”
“All right.”
At her command her, Mel Pisa ran out of her room with her head down.
From now on, Mel Pisa, like Marjan, will become Lucia’s limb her and help her her personnel.
In effect, she has delegated her full power to her to Lucia, but she can’t help it.
The reason I’ve been able to fight numbers with the princess so far is because I’ve been given enough time to think and review.
In a situation where every minute and every second is competing like now, only Lucia can see a place like Liana.
Of course, she doesn’t intend to sit around until the time of the riot, saying she handed everything over to Lucia.
On the contrary, since everything was settled, I had time to uncover important matters.
Reason for Liana’s suicide
I had to find out what caused it.
**
Creepy ─
“This is not it either.”
I roughly folded up the paper I had torn in half and threw it back.
Hundreds of wads of paper were already scattered on the floor, but I still couldn’t find an answer.
Frustrated, I lowered my head to check the shadow, but I didn’t feel the ‘sword’ calling me like before.
‘Are you saying that I showed everything I wanted to show?’
I thought it was filthy selfish, but when I thought it was something I left behind in the first playthrough, all I could do was lie down and spit on it.
“… Ha.”
I let out a long sigh.
No matter how much I turn my head, the answer doesn’t come out.
In her dream world, Liana said she definitely didn’t want to die.
In the end, it is certain that Riana’s suicide was made by someone’s coercion.
However…
‘Being an existence that can force Riana to die… ‘
I wondered if such a thing even existed.
In ‘Teacher Aka’, Liana Lumenhark was a kind of cheat key.
Throughout this worldview, there are beings stronger than Liana that can be counted on one hand.
If Liana had fought on this side, even the apostles wouldn’t have been much of a threat.
‘Creeping fear’ would have been easily subdued, and ‘her revived corruption’ would have been defeated soon after.
Ah, it won’t be as easy as the ‘Resurrected Corruption’ of this round, which was resurrected through my corpse in the first round, but…
Even so, 99 times out of 100 the ‘Revived Corruption’ will be defeated.
I don’t know if the rest of the game will be barely a draw.
‘… If that’s what makes Liana give up her fight and choose her death her…’
It doesn’t come to mind, but it’s nonsense.
‘Because the final boss has no will…’
The final boss is a kind of phenomenon.
Like rain, wind and lightning.
It has no will.
It just destroys the world.
‘…However.’
The world’s most famous detective said.
After excluding the impossible, what remains, no matter how hard it is to believe, is the truth.
When I was coming up with a hypothesis holding my forehead.
Jumping—!
“…Go…Gongja…It’s a big deal!”
Melfisa stormed into the room and shouted loudly.
‘…’
It was quite unpleasant to be interrupted in a situation where something seemed to be caught at the fingertips.
But if Melfisa’s face she showed embarrassment, it must have been an emergency.
And, as I expected, the words Melfisa uttered were horrific.
“The riot has begun!”
“…What?”
Before I could comprehend the situation, I heard a roar and shouts outside.
“Reclaim the rights stolen from the nobles!”
“All humans are equal in front of the Goddess!”
When I checked out the window, I saw a group of commoners scattering magic here and there and shouting slogans.
Seeing that, I clenched my fists.
‘There’s almost twelve hours until noon, so why all of a sudden!’
Could it be that he knew that the tape recorder was installed and used it against him to spread false information?
‘…No, it can’t be.’
The room where the princess stays is fenced so that no one can enter without her permission.
And aside from the princess, the only person allowed to enter was Melfisa.
Suspecting the existence of the tape recorder in this situation is the same as suspecting Melfisa of betrayal.
If Liana had noticed Melfisa’s betrayal, there would be no way Melfisa would be able to wander around like this.
‘Then how did you find out that I knew the time of the riot?’
Biting my lower lip in nervousness, I suddenly realized something and muttered in a low voice.
“… I didn’t know.”
Liana didn’t think her plan her had been leaked.
“…Just trusted me.”
Liana just trusted me.
If I execute the set plan at the set time, I will definitely move.
That’s why Liana pulled her plan abruptly.
Of course, as things started suddenly, the commoners wouldn’t show the perfect movements as planned…
‘…The problem is the same here.’
No matter how good Lucia’s ability was, there was not enough time to physically deploy personnel.
It must have been in the middle of deployment even now.
“Melphisa, how has Lucia’s staffing been?”
“That… That… Gongja… It’s still only halfway done.”
It’s good news out of bad news.
Even if the number of people deployed was half, it would be similar in terms of number of people, as the number of commoners was only 30% of the number of nobles.
‘… For now, we can only hope that Lucia will finish her staffing soon…’
Clenching her fists, I ordered Mel Pisa.
“I knew. I’ll go out and try to delay the riot as much as possible, while Melfisa goes back to Lucia.”
There was no need to give Lucia a separate order.
By now, Lucia would have been able to grasp the situation and move without saying anything.
All I can do is give Lucia time to complete her staffing her.
“That… Is a bunch. Young master. I cannot go to Miss Lucia.”
Anxiety ran through her body at Mel Pisa’s answer to her.
I shot at Melfisa with a slightly raised voice.
“Impossible, what do you mean!”
“The dormitory where Lucia is staying is currently surrounded by a barrier created by Her Highness the Princess. … Now, no one can enter or leave the dormitory without Her Highness’s permission her.”
It was a sudden declaration of checkmate.
