403 Episode 15. Worst case scenario.

"In order to obstruct the [Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Race Kingdom], several merchants went through and resold the magic tools. The magic tools themselves are not much, but they seem to have the power to explode. As a precautionary measure, we have investigated the Race Kingdom Capital and discovered it.”

I get a report from May.

As Mei said, Yume was playing on the ground and investigating in advance whether the race capital, which would be the venue for the [Queen of the Race Kingdom Inauguration], was really safe.

As a result, certain magic tools were resold to each store through a merchant. By chance, I noticed that my men were holding explosive power in their magic tools.

When I washed my back, there was no malice in the merchant I brought in, and it was white.

Furthermore, it was discovered that some nobles of the claw faction behind it were intentionally distributing magic tools in an attempt to sabotage the [Race Kingdom Queen Inauguration Ceremony].

"Trying to sabotage the festival that Yume is looking forward to..."

Just in case, if I asked for an investigation to make sure it was safe, I didn't know that dangerous materials would really come out...

I get angry at the malice of the opponent who is trying to destroy the festival that Yume is looking forward to and cause harm to people.

Mei is coming forward.

"Shall we retrieve the magic tools that could explode immediately and deal with the aristocrats who are pulling threads in this case?" If Mr. Wright instructs, I will bring the first class to you today. "

As she says, if I give the order, it will be easy to get rid of the aristocrats who are pulling the thread behind this operation.

What the nobles of the claw faction are thinking is probably plausible.

(Probably resale and spread explosive magic tools around the city, causing explosion disturbances during the festival. Rescue Claw from the "Quarantine Tower" while everyone's ears are being targeted by the explosion. At the same time, you'll be aiming for Lilith's life.)

It's a plan to do whatever it takes to hurt the people we're supposed to protect.

Not just rescuing Claw, but almost certainly assassinating Lilith.

I will take the documents that have been submitted again. [M]

This time, the magic tools sold during the festival have the power to explode.

"Yes, basically, the exploding magic cube was engraved on a small magic stone that was the core of magic tools that lit up when the magic power was applied." The power of the explosion is not that great on its own, but when it explodes together, I wonder if it will be of that magnitude. "

There were many other magic tools at the trinket level, such as magic tools that set off a kind of fire, magic tools that create a glass of water, and magic tools that generate wind for a certain period of time.

Moreover, after a certain amount of time, it was built into the magic cube that exploded in vain with the time limit formula.

It was too small for a normal sorcerer to notice.

However, it was easy for a normal mage to carve such a square.

Normally, I didn't do it because the magic stone was a waste and I couldn't secure enough explosive power without a large magic stone.

This time, I was aiming for the chaos in the capital, and even if it was small, the goal was to get a certain amount of power by preparing a number of them and detonating them together.

And there's a lot of them, too.

The number is about 1000.

"The enemy is dispersing distribution channels and trying to eliminate unnaturalness by passing through multiple countries and gathering a small number of them one by one. When collecting them, I think I asked several magicians to carve the magic circle. Therefore, I wondered if it would be difficult to grasp the tracks of the mage side."

"You're really thorough." It seems that Lilith was crowned the queen after losing her claws. "

But honestly, I don't feel like killing too much.

"...... Is it possible that there is a 'Ta-' or such a transcendent involved?"

"There is no conclusive evidence at this time..." Have you noticed anything? "

I shook my head at May's question.

"I think this is too much just because the claw faction wants to sabotage the festival to celebrate Lilith's inauguration." After all, even if it's just to attract attention, you have to try to involve a lot of our people. I don't think anything is too imposing. "

"It's true, as Lord Wright said, I feel like it's too forceful..."

"There's no evidence just impressions." May, please investigate the path of the magic tools brought in a little bit more and whether there are transcendents involved such as "I". "

"I was awed."

May bowed to my instructions. [M]

If [Ta-] was involved, it would be on the Dragon Man Empire side.

However, they keep their distance from the [Witch of the Great Tower], the Race Kingdom.

At the last Six Dukes Conference held by the Demon Kingdom, the Dragon Man Empire abstained without agreeing or disagreeing with the inauguration of Queen Lilith.

Since then, the Dragon Man (Dragon Newt) Empire has been a long way from the Race Kingdom.

(You're going to give me your hand now...? If so, was there some reason? [The Witch of the Great Tower] has grown too big?)

It is difficult to think that the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Queen of the Race Kingdom" was "decided because it was inconvenient for the Dragon Man Empire".

If it was not convenient, she would have refused to take the position of Queen of Lilith, and for the Dragon Man nation, there was no feeling of being so particular.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Dragon Man Empire to be involved in this case...

(I wonder if we should deal with it for now.)

This time, Yume will show her face on the ground, so it won't hurt to prepare for the enemy's movement.

I'll give May additional instructions. [M]

"Please report this incident to Lilith." You can't act on your own in the other person's garden. Let's give her the information and let her decide. I'd like to take precautions, so why don't you bring Ice Heat, Ursch, and Dark Knight to the office? "

"I was awed."

May bows his head again and takes action to summon the Ice Heats.

We can deal with any Claw Faction issue.

But we should be prepared for the worst without optimism.

(Oh dear, I just want to enjoy the festival with Yume normally...)

I sighed in my heart at the many problems that were happening. [M]

― ― Later, in the office of the Royal Castle of the Race Kingdom, a report in the form of documents arrived to Lilith via Yume (fake).

"Well, I can't believe you're trying to cause such a bad thing..."

Lilith's complexion turned blue as she glanced at the magic tools sent by the lights, disguised as explosives, and a compilation of what they were aiming for.
