Eliza and I disguised ourselves a bit and snuck into the capital of the kingdom.
We were both dressed like ordinary travelers, in the daytime, in the middle of a civil war, in a tavern with no other customers.
It's a nice country, calm and serene, with a different atmosphere than the Empire. It would be a shame to kill it.
Eliza in disguise as well.
She's now not a maid, but the emperor's burglar mode.
Hence the frankness with which she speaks to me.
"Yes,
We didn't clamp down on them just because they were a part of our country, and yet we still had a revolt.
"It happens when you get rid of the constrictions. You shouldn't worry too much about it.
...... Right.
Eliza sighed and smiled sadly.
As I said before, it's not Eliza's fault that there was a rebellion this time.
When Eliza loosened the pressure exerted by the former emperor, the previously oppressed kingdom wanted to take revenge for years and was ready to revolt.
Eliza shouldn't be worried about it, rather.
Eliza should be more proud of herself for daring to settle a matter that a politician would have postponed ninety-nine percent of the time.
"Yeah, yeah, ...... thanks.
Her expression changed, her cheeks flushed and she looked embarrassed.
Eliza squirmed and turned to search for words to say something.
There she is.
"YEAH!
The man's scream was deafening and resounded.
Eliza returned to a crisp expression in an instant.
You stand up with a clatter of chairs.
Oh, that's okay, sir.
The tavern's flagship girl, who was cleaning the store in the daytime when there was no one else in the bar, said as if she was used to it, to quiet Eliza.
'What is this scream?
There are some very effective wound medicines on the market these days. It hurts so much to heal a wound with that, it makes you scream like you are in pain.
"Yeah. But if it hurts so much that it makes you scream, you shouldn't be using it.
"It doesn't work that way. As a salve, it works like a charm. People who had their eyes pierced with arrows can see again and people whose hands were cut clean off have their hands back together.
That's great.
It's worth it, even if it hurts to death.
After a briefing, the sign girl went back to cleaning, seeing that Eliza had sat down again.
When she sat back down, Eliza looked straight at me.
You're good.
I just said, "Well, let's get to the next step.
"Well, I guess we're ready to move on.
What to do?
Once I saw the sign girl pulled back into the back of the store, I used my magic.
I held my hand out to the side and drew a magic circle.
I put my hand in the glowing circle and pulled.
Out of the magic circle came Riette with her eyes closed.
The real one?
"The real one.
Nodding Me.
Now Rietje is holding on to the kingdom.
There's a homunculus I made, with Reece's own soul in it.
Now here is Rietje's original body.
I used Herschel's secret recipe to cast more magic.
A glowing object came flying in from outside the store and entered Reece's body nonstop.
After a while, Reece slowly opens her eyes.
Here is ......
Can you understand me?
...... Yes, that means this is my?
"Yeah, the original body
"Well?
"Yeah, just give me a listen.
Reece nodded honestly, and I nodded my ear and told him what to do next.
☆
Reece walking alone on the streets of the spiritual land.
In the shadow of Reece, Eliza and I were in her shadow.
It was the first time I stepped into someone else's shadow, but it was a strange and fluffy sensation, like being in water where I could breathe.
...... hmmm
"What's up, Eliza?
"No, it's just that I'm not like in your shadow.
"In my shadow?
"Yeah, I don't feel any better. ...... No, it's nothing.
"Hmm?
I was about to say something, and then I'd have to keep my mouth shut.
I kind of know what you're going to say, but I'm not going to get into it.
I looked up.
I shifted my posture and looked upward, feeling like I was drifting in the water.
I saw Rietje crawling along.
People around me were surprised to see Rietzsche.
Some of them ran somewhere in a hurry.
I think they know Reece has been caught.
I guess so.
Ignoring the inhabitants, who probably ran to report or snitch or something, Reece proceeded further.
After a while, they came in front of a large building.
It's a hospital with a unique smell and air.
You can hear it sometimes in the city, but when you come to the front of the hospital, the anguish and screams are even louder.
Regardless, Reece walked into the hospital.
It was full of soldiers.
Wounded soldiers were being treated with the medicine I had made and sent long way back.
The medicine worked well, but it made the pain worse.
Because of this, it was a strange hellscape of a wartime hospital that didn't have the smell of "death" at all, but there were more screams than that.
Rietzsche quickly approached one of the soldiers, who was fainting from the pain and was still jittery and twitching.
She crouched down next to the soldier and applied another potion she had taken out.
I found her and said.
"Hey there, you, what are you doing, don't touch anything!
Another soldier, who was not injured at all, snuck up on him.
He approached Riette and grabbed her by the shoulders to get her off him.
"I couldn't make a lot of things like this, that would be completed by mixing my blood. Instead, I made a lot of last minute ingredients and stored them so that I could take them out and use them when I needed them.
"I see.
"It's like a tea, you make it, store it, brew it with hot water and drink it.
"You're being rude!
"But you're right.
People began to understand.
I was holding on to it, so it was taken out unfinished.
""Uh, ......"
More and more, the soldiers were convinced.
Reece looked straight at them.
Well, I came to take the blame.
One by one, the soldiers were convinced.
In the hospital, the air of doubt about Rietzsche disappeared completely, without a trace.
Seeing this, Eliza.
Did you think all this through and let them catch her?
"Yeah, I'd better read two or three moves ahead. Like the wise man's sword said.
I chuckle.
It's the kind of knowledge I'd rather not admit.
Apparently, when people make things too complicated, they think the last thing they agree on is the truth.
You're right.
Eliza readily admits it.
Maybe she, the emperor, realizes it.
☆
Thus, Rietje, who had been in his grasp, descended as a savior.
The wounded soldiers of both armies quickly began to unite around Reece.
