Chapter 196 – Wolf, Alexander, and Morbius (2)

Petunia’s face went white. Originally an elf with fair skin, now her face was as pale as that of a wax figure. Her eyes wandered back and forth, trying to turn her back on reality, her heart racing incessantly, trying to control her emotions.

“…No.”

It was a word she spat out at the end of her time of endurance.

Cried Petunia Titti, shaking her head as if to deny her reality.

“It can’t be like this!”

Tears welled up in her eyes. Elves and humans have different ecosystems, and there is no way to know about minor corruption in the human world if they have not met each other. Petunia Titi shouted at me with her eyes red, as if she really didn’t know the blatant infidelity of her co-workers.

“Are you trying to trick me? I know everything! I remember! Uh? It is true that Alexander identified a woman! Rumor has it that there is a saint who likes sex in our forest too! I heard she took some bribes too! But didn’t it have to end like that? Alexander, who was with me, wasn’t such a scumbag! Something’s wrong! There is a misunderstanding!”

It seemed that her standard of morality was lower than expected, so she recognized as saints those who took bribes.

However, Saint Alexander’s footsteps were stained with corruption to the extent that even her absurdly low standards of morality could not be met. In order to strengthen his and Wolf’s political power, more than 10 families were purged, dozens of women were taken away from those purged families to be used as toys, and the nobles who used the authority of the church to forgive sins were not enough to count ten fingers again. .

Cried Petunia Titi.

“Liars! It can’t be! Even though Alexander is a little fat and irritating! I mean, I wasn’t such a low-key person! He knows how to serve his comrades! He was the one who reliably protected us in front of us when we were in danger!”

Milia silently unfolded the other materials. Materials about Mobius overflowed next to Alexander. There was evidence that Mobius excluded all mages of a certain faction from their positions or deprived them of their mage qualifications and put them in prison.

There was also evidence that she persuaded the slaves to free them, then threw them into human experimentation and discarded them.

There was also a story about stealing the research achievements of small magic towers and forcibly shutting down the magic towers that protested against this. Petunia Titi shouted again.

“Mobius too. I mean he wasn’t like this. It’s all lies… ! It’s all lies!”

She had her face contorted with anger. Is it anger against us? Or is it her anger at her co-workers who are walking down the worst path of hers? A whirlwind of fierce emotions, unknown to us facing each other, raged.

“I don’t believe you.”

She exclaimed proudly. Even though his limbs were tightly tied, the speculation that came out was like that of a beast. Isabel, who had returned from her explanation, was so startled that she backed away, and she broke into a cold sweat as the mousetrap pulled out her weapon.

“They are my colleagues. They are my comrades whom I trusted while adventuring together. I mean, you guys are not the ones who can be slandered by manipulating documents.”

There was no such thing as tampering with paperwork. The vicious deeds that did not fit the name of Hero’s party were a collection of pure facts. No matter how much she shouted no, the fact that Alexander coveted women, that Mobius was tyrannical in the Mage Tower, and that Wolf slaughtered people to seize power did not change.

“Release this.”

Petunia Titi held out her sword to us. Even in her stance of hanging in the air, she steadfastly straightened her body and stretched out her hands towards us. She pulled the main chain firmly, as if she were about to break it, and a grotesque sound echoed through her whole body as her chain was swept away.

“Release it now!”

Petunia Titi’s face was more distorted than ever. Tears were flowing from her eyes. She knows the truth too. That the situation she came to this mansion was just a coincidence. It’s impossible for us to create fake documents for that situation.

Even if she heard her knowing through her ears, those evil rumors she pretended not to know were all true.

“If you do, what are you going to do?”

I asked. He leaned against her back and looked up at her. Tears fell from a height higher than me. She said to me, wiping away her tears.

“I, I will check. I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes. I’ll check it out myself! Release it now! Don’t play around with these papers, solve them right away!”

“Let it go, what if we are right?”

I asked her again. At those words, Petunia Titi hardened as if she were cast in plaster. Even though her body was stiff, the tears that flowed down wet the floor. She blinked her eyes and took a deep breath. For a moment she missed the heart of the matter.

What was important was not the denial of Hero and the others. Whose side would she be on after seeing the infidelity?

Will you betray the hero Wolf?

Or will you slaughter demons like a warrior?

“…Release me.”

Petunia Titti did not answer the important question. She looked me straight in the eyes of hers and once again communicated her own requirements. I rather thought that would be a better answer. If she had easily affirmed it, she might not have let go. Those who answer weighty questions casually are nothing but responsible liars.

Both Sophia and Milia were waiting for my decision. She loosened her fingers so she could unchain her at any moment, and Isabelle looked around her. Sophia watched me, her legs shaking, and Elena hid behind a mousetrap with a tense face.

“Good. I will release you.”

My answer rang, and Sophia collapsed, her legs giving out. Elena closed her eyes and hugged the mousetrap. Taffy came by my side, ready to protect me, and Milia untied her hand. Her facts, which held her tightly together, flickered out of thin air. Petunia Titi staggered back to the ground as her chains undid.

Taffy had the face of not trusting her petunia titi, but somehow I felt like I could trust her. She checked every part of her body and looked at us. They let each other go because they trusted each other, but in a strange structure where they doubted each other, Petunia Titti took her bow.

Her taffy spread her wings, and Milia pretended to be relaxed and moved behind her taffy. Petunia Titi tucked her bow behind her back and spread her hands out.

“…Really, are you letting go?”

“You want to check? Go check it out. See with your own eyes who should be gone.”

“…You’re letting me go because of that?”

There was one more reason to send it. In fact she said that she could use many different ways to make her her mate. Milia and I could work together to turn her into a servant, or we could brainwash her by turning her head into porridge.

But I didn’t want to. Is it because of the love and justice that we shouted like a joke? She must have had a wild idea because she believed in something that didn’t exist. When I looked at her objectively, I was about to let her go for her nonsensical reasons.

“…You were Fabian’s colleague. I saw you laying flowers at the funeral home.”

Petunia didn’t laugh when she heard the reason. Recalling that time, she nodded her head and let out a deep sigh.

“…You were there too.”

Petunia’s hand dropped. She turned her body as she brushed her own arm. Prowling like a wanderer in front of her door, she held on to her doorknob as if she had made up her mind. She said as she yanked the closed door.

“…I won’t tell anyone what happened here.”

And she opened the door She didn’t say that she would come back or where she was going. She slowly pushed the door open and left.

The door closed and her figure faded away.

I shared my gaze with my family and Milia. Now that the typhoon, Petunia Titi, had left, she was now in earnest to tidy up the house. As soon as the door closed, Milia sighed.

“Hey, Evan. I’m here as a guest Can’t we take a little rest on the bunk bed? I am too tired.”

“Don’t do that…”

Cranky!

Then, startled by the sudden crash, we looked back toward the front door.

Said Petunia Titty, clutching at the door with her embarrassed face.

“Ah, there… That. I didn’t break this on purpose to provoke you, it was shaken during the fight earlier, and it just fell off?”

“…Are you okay. Just go.”

As we waved her hand, Petunia Titi scrambled along, scratching her head, her face flushed red. They glanced at us, but we decided to just ignore it.
