Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 575

 

Deceive



Less than five days later, a middle-aged knight came to me.


He has the properly developed photo


Yes


It is properly developed.



"What does this mean?"



The knight can't give an answer to my question.



"I'm sorry, but no matter how many times I develop it, it ends up like that."


"Looks like it..."



A photo of the two running away in their usual sloppy clothes.


I have many copies of the exact same item in my hands.



"What about your research on Eri Drassel?"


"Currently, it continues to be investigated at the same time as Idouard Kimberley."


"Are you also investigating Ido?"


"Yes, this is an order from the empire, but it is related to the request of the prince, so we are doing it together."



The Empire is investigating Ido?


The Kimberley family? Or is it related to Dezefa Kingdom?



"Did you also see Eri Drassel with your own eyes?"


"Yes, she definitely had golden hair."



Yes


The woman running away with her back turned in the photo is definitely Eri Drassel.


The knight in front of me is also convinced of this.


But something strange is happening to the photo.



"I also photographed Eri Drassell during my investigation because I felt it was strange."


"What happened to it?"


"Here"



The photo that the knight handed me did indeed show that woman.


It's so big that you can't mistake it



"Her hair is a different color."


"Yes, when I took this picture, she had golden hair no matter where you looked."



Yes


The hair color we see is different from the hair color in the photo.


Eri Drassel's hair color is brown as seen through the photo.



"Did you show it to anyone else?"


"I asked several knights and scholars to confirm."


"What's the conclusion?"


"Scholars have speculated that the hair itself may have some sort of hallucinatory power."



That's why a scientific camera that doesn't even show hallucinations has no effect.



"…What information do you currently know?"


"We're doing a background check on Eri Drassel. She's a pretty sleazy person."


"Don't be so blunt. What's your basis?"


"First of all, she's been having fun up until now. Even before Idouard Kimberley fell in love with her."


"Is she after Ido’s property?"


"Definitely"



According to reports, there seems to have been a sudden change during the winter school closures.


She accompanied Ido to his parents' house


Leaving Ido alone, she bought jewelry, accessories, and dresses in the Kingdom of Dezefa.


It's all in the pockets of the Kimberley family.


Despite doing just that, the head of the Kimberley family......


In other words, Ido's father didn't say anything.



"Also, Idouard's mother, grandmother, older sister, and younger sister are missing."


"Were they kicked out?"


"No one talks about it, but unidentified bodies have since been found in the kingdom's sewers. Four women."



No matter how you look at it, Eri Drassel is suspicious.



"I thought she was a disgusting woman, but I guess she has something..."


"Is it some kind of magic?"


"Manipulating people's minds. Is there such a magic?"


"I've never heard of it, but there may be magic that we don't know about."


"Have someone who knows more look into it."



If such magic were to enter the Empire, it would be a disaster.


No, the Kimberley territory may already be a disaster.



"Then I'll head to report to Eckezachs right away."


"I'll leave it to you."



What are you planning? Eri Drassel
