The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs - Volume 9 - Chapter 4.3

Part 3
◇

While walking through the royal capital at night in civilian clothes, I was talking to Luxon in a low voice, he had disappeared from my side.

"What was my older sister thinking when she came to the royal capital?" Why didn't she stay home?

[She said that she was looking for a marriage partner. Do you want me to help her find the best genetic match?]

"My older sister is only targeting men who have good looks and wealth.”

[Since ancient times, having wealth has been an important factor. It is also proof that you are excellent. I think it is a problem that women do not get too close to you Master  who is by my side even though you are very wealthy. Won't there be another problem besides how favorable you are?]

As always, this guy is very severe with his Master.

"Three betrotheds is more than enough. Anything besides that is a luxury. Are you happy to have a humble master?"

[A humble man doesn't have three fiancées. ...... Master, an incident has occurred.]

-Again?

When I went to the scene of the incident following Luxon's directions, I came across a crowd.

In the royal capital, patrols intensified and soldiers with lights surrounded the body covered with cloth.

"Is it another official?"

—Those from above will begin a scandal.

When I entered the scene, the curious people had already gathered. There was no way to get closer and I had to trust Luxon, who disappeared with his optical camouflage.

Luxon's information gathering capacity was also reduced due to magic armor.

"This is the seventh time this has happened?"

[As always, the victim is a newly promoted official. There are traces of the use of a magic device.]

We went to the place, but we did not get any new information and we did not make any progress.

"They're only targeting officials who have been promoted."

[It is a mystery that they are wearing magical armor. Where did they get it from?]

I remembered the old black knight wearing magic armor and Serge, then shook my head. It is not something that people should use.

"I don't want to think that something like that is out there."

[Of course. The mere fact that it exists is unacceptable.]

Luxon, who dislikes magic armor very much, actively cooperated in the investigation of this case.

I tried to get away from the horrible crime scene, when I came across a person.

When I hurriedly looked back, I wondered if the other person had noticed me, I stopped and turned only my upper body towards him. He also seemed pretty surprised, but the same thing happened to me too.

"What is the Guardian Knight of the Empire doing here?"

When I asked him, the guy named Finn responded with caution.

"I wanted to see what the royal capital is like. I just wanted to do some sightseeing. On the other hand, it is the second time I see you at the scene of the incident.."

What is this man saying who is more suspicious , me?

-What a coincidence. That was also my thought of you.

It is too suspicious to meet the Guardian Knight who should not exist in the third game of that otome game twice at the scene of the incident.

However, I decided to withdraw because there was no evidence. I did not want to antagonize him and get a result similar to Serge's.

Let's start with a thorough investigation.

"There are more famous places for sightseeing. Why don't you go there?"

Saying that, I left the place.

-... I'll do that.

Finn also walked away.

Far away from the scene, Luxon gave me a warning. He seemed to be very wary of Finn.

- [Master, that man named Finn is dangerous. I can feel a slight reaction from the magic armor.]

"Is he the culprit?"

[It is very probable. Although he is a foreign student, the Holy Magical Empire is a country who has a long-standing connection to the Holy Kingdom.]

It is a country with the word "sacred" in its name, so I certainly thought they are similar. Is there a connection since ancient times? ...... No, I think I learned it in class.

From my point of view, the Holy Kingdom of Rachelle is Milaine's enemy! Just thought about that.

"Now that I think about it, I think I heard it in class."

[.... I did not know it?]

Luxon, who had sensed the reaction of the magic armor, showed the utmost caution towards Finn.

"I'd like to know what he's up to.What is he thinking about when an incident occurs?"

[It is a mistake to look for some logic in magic armor. Master, they are the weapons of the new humanity and the cause of the destruction of this world. It is useless to think about it. Please, give me permission to use my main body and Arroganz here.]

-Rejected. Are you planning to burn the capital until nothing is left behind?

Despite being an artificial intelligence, he quickly gets excited when it comes to magic armor.

However, from my point of view, Finn is a suspect.

"...... Luxon, make sure Angie keeps a curfew. Also, tell her not to leave her room at night as much as possible."

[ understood.]
