205 4. Consultation

"... I don't have the manpower."

Within the castle of the race (human) kingdom, Lilith, the first princess of the race kingdom, sighs while sitting in her room.

Currently, she was secretly investigating how many interlocutors were inside the race kingdom, but her trusted allies were only slow because they were fake.

Even the maid chief Nono, who had served Lilith for many years and Lilith admired her like her real sister, was in the middle of the Magus kingdom.

I can't trust others lightly enough to be the closest thing to me.

However, it is also true that fake Yume made with the "UR, second shadow (double shadow)" card is fundamentally insufficient.

…………

Lilith closed her eyes and thought.

And after a little while, when I open my eyes, I murmur the conclusions I drew.

"... it would still be right to rely on Master Wright here."

When Lilith opens the desk drawer, she takes out a card called "SR, Remarks."

She murmurs with her card in her hand as she gets used to it.

"Um, sure... 'SR, Reminder', release (release)"

When the card disappeared, it was made clear to the light that stayed at the bottom of the "Naraka" while in the castle of the race (human) kingdom.

Lilith, the First Princess of the Race Kingdom, contacted me on the "SR, Sentiment" card and asked me to discuss it.

I decided to have her pick me up at a convenient date and time to discuss the details at a later date.

On the same day, Lilith appeared in the office on the fourth floor of the Giant Tower on time as promised.

Now that she is visiting this place, the fake lilith made of "UR, the second shadow (Double Shadow)," which is a replacement in the castle of the race (Human) kingdom, has no problem because it is so mellow that it is impossible for parents to discern it.

We sat face to face on the sofa, sandwiching the tea that May had brewed.

Lilith didn't get to the point right away, and she shaken a light chat to warm up the scene.

"Thank you for your time today."

"No, if you're talking about Lilith, who is obliged to help Yume, I'll make you as much time as I can."

"I'm really glad you said that. Speaking of which, how's Yume? I don't miss Yume at the castle... because I see her face every day with Yume made of cards, but I'm worried because I haven't met her personally..."

"Thank you for caring. Yume misses Lilith too, so one day, if I had time, I'd say hello."

"Thank you very much in that case. I haven't seen real Yume in a long time, and I want to have a lot of fun talking."

Lilith and I have a crappy conversation with Nico.

After confirming that the venue was warm enough, Lilith talked about the consultation.

She lowers her eyebrows and tells her what's going on.

"... actually, there was a problem. There is no one I can trust but the user of the card that Wright gave me. However, fake Yume (her) alone is fundamentally insufficient, and it takes too long to identify... So, please do me a favor in order to get manpower, but could you please give me the card again for the future of race?

Lilith asks with a deeply sorry voice.

He really came to consult me as a measure of hardship. [M]

Listening to her, I lower my eyebrows in trouble. [M]

"I see... I don't have enough time to investigate, so I want to create a trusted subordinate with" UR, Second Shadow (Double Shadow). "

"Yes, I know it's a rare magic item but...."

Lilith didn't mislead herself and honestly talked about the consultation.

I like the attitude, but I can't shake a sleeve without it.

"I'm really glad you relied on me... but it's hard to supply more 'UR, second shadow (double shadow)' to the boulder. Lilith is obliged, so first of all," UR, the second shadow (Double Shadow) "is rare, and we don't have it."

"!? Is that so? Rather, I can't believe you accommodated such a precious magic item... How can I thank you again?"

Lilith lowered her head in a hurry when she heard my reply. [M]

In fact, I can still afford a few cards, but they rarely appear. I can't afford to use it like hot water for her, just because I owe her a lot of money.

So I propose to Lilith I'm afraid of.

"It is impossible to accommodate the" UR, second shadow (double shadow) "in the boulder, but there is a human card that has not yet been revealed, so you can give it to me. So why don't you spend a little time switching people?

No matter how many races (human kingdoms) we are aiming for the next queen, we will not take office tomorrow or later. We still have a few years before the Duke of Six meeting.

I don't need a little time, but I don't have to be close to Lilith to someone I can trust inside: "How about taking away the people I showed off the cards? I'm proposing."

Unlike "UR, Second Shadow (Double Shadow)", many humanoid cards like Mohikans have been generated, but not all of them are displayed.

That's because it doesn't make much sense to reveal everything, and it's cumbersome to maintain and control.

Therefore, only the necessary number of people is shown, and it is in a state of surplus.

I'm giving the cards to Lilith and suggesting that she take the time to replace them.

Honestly, this is actually a realistic way to get around.

Lilith raised her head and thought.

A few seconds later, I replied immediately.

"Thank you very much. As Wright said, I will take the time to replace them with people I can trust little by little as a practical means."

"I'm glad to hear your opinion."

I appreciate Lilith's quick and honest acceptance of this suggestion.

With that in mind, Lilith and I began to talk more specifically about how to change personnel.

However, all of that specific discussion will be in vain.

The cause was the war that followed this discussion - the Beast Massacre.
