Misha Karlstein is a traitor.
Ever since that information first came out of the butterfly's mouth, the fox had been trying to dig into it..
It probably would have been the same even if it wasn't my request..
Like it or not, the fox also had to act together with Misha from now on. She probably didn't want to live in the awkward state of knowing that there was a traitor among her colleagues..
However, it was a question fraught with risk..
“Speaking of Misha Karlstein... … . This was my second time?”
The butterfly that was asked a question asks back in a strange voice and stares at the fox..
As if you could see right through it..
“Are you very interested? To that prisoner woman.”
“…So?”
“Hehe… It's just like that..”
Perhaps, after today's round table, the suspicion that 'Fox = Bjorn Yandel's colleague' will stick in the minds of most of the members here..
That's because we've already solved a lot of information about the first basement floor..
In fact, it's almost confirmed that he's in the labyrinth now.…….
‘There are more reasons for the Armin Exploration Team and the Hetz Clan to return alive as much as possible..’
Just as there is a saying that a tree hides between trees, and a person hides between people, the more survivors there are as possible, the more likely it is that Versil's identity will not be revealed..
But that's a story for later.
“Well, can I ask now??”
There are questions from not only Fox but other members as well..
“Who did you get the code to enter the round table from??”
The Queen wondered how the butterfly could enter this place..
Additionally, Black Mask also participated in the questioning group for the first time..
It was surprising that he opened his mouth so quietly, but what was even more surprising was the content..
“Do you think Misha Karlstein threatens Bjorn Yandel's life??”
What is this again?.
It's hard to understand why such a question was asked, but the situation wasn't that bad..
“Hmm… … . Everyone is very interested in Misha Karlstein.?”
Thanks to Black Mask's appearance, the suspicion towards Bersil has decreased slightly. No, more accurately, I should say that my attention was divided.?
“So, I guess that's the end of these three questions.…….”
Soon the question time was over, and the butterfly had some time to think while making a mischievous laugh..
“Umm, what should I do?…….”
Now it was the butterfly's choice..
If I answer Black Mask or Fox's questions, I will be able to confirm what I was curious about..
If the queen is chosen, we'll have to wait for the next wheel.
If you don't have a third wheel, there's a chance you'll never be able to hear it..
thus…….
“Since two people asked that question, I guess it makes sense to answer that question.?”
The moment the butterfly said that, not knowing where it would fly, a slight sense of relief bloomed..
Of course it didn't last long.
Because there are times in this world. Those contradictory things I want to know but don't want to know.
“Now, which of the two should answer the question?…….”
Soon the butterfly, who was shaking his tongue as if trying to test his liver, smiled and continued speaking..
“Hey, I feel it. Anyway, the content of both is similar, so I'll just answer both of you..”
A line that at first glance seems like an act of kindness..
But the more it happened, the more suspicious I felt..
After all, is there any company that would lose money by holding a 1+1 event??
There is a reason for every action, and that reason is usually related to one's own benefit..
‘……If this is your first thought, is it because I am so broken??’
I don't know, but I opened my ears and focused on the conversation..
Butterfly, who had been dragging her tongue as if enjoying the attention, was slowly opening her mouth..
“Misha Karlstein received instructions from someone and returned to Bjorn Yandel's side. However, those instructions have nothing to do with Bjorn Jandel's death..”
It seemed like he was talking about Lee Baek-ho and the stone of revival..
I was wondering if he was called a traitor because of something else..
‘But how does he know that??’
Could it be that the butterfly was from Lee Baek-ho’s side??
It's Lee Baek-ho who gave me the invitation code, so it doesn't make sense.…….
“Can I hear what the instructions were properly??”
“Oh, that? As far as I know, it's no big deal. He just asked me to watch from the side and pass on information..”
“What is the cost??”
“well? She is not the only one who knows... … . Oh, you can't lie. I'll leave this to your imagination.”
According to my guess, the price was most likely the ‘Stone of Revival’ itself..
Even saying Lee Baek-ho is clever is not enough..
They probably scared me a lot by saying I was destined to die and all, then gave me a revival stone and asked me to become a spy..
In fact, the real purpose is to ‘pass the stone of revival’..
Well, I learned one thing thanks to this conversation..
“Are you saying there were no other instructions other than that??”
“yes. no. As far as I know.”
Lee Baek-ho's masterpiece is the stone of revival..
Of course, there may be something more planned behind the scenes, but at least it is unlikely that Missha is involved in the scheme..
However, the problem is…….
‘Why does he answer so kindly?.’
If you think that Butterfly Mask is a team with Lee Baek-ho, a quite plausible hypothesis emerges..
Because Baekho Lee knows that I am a detective..
‘Naturally, he was trying to give me information..’
His wish has always been the same..
He wants me to take my mind off this world.
So, I deliberately gave them information that Misha was a traitor or something. Maybe that alone will be enough to break my trust and make me suspicious of those around me..
From his point of view, it's an attempt with nothing to lose..
“So can we now move on to the next step? I think I've given you enough answers to answer..”
After Butterfly's turn was over, it was Black Mask's turn..
“What should I ask... … ? I don't know much, so there's nothing to ask.?”
It was a tone that felt somewhat obnoxious, but everyone agreed on what the butterfly said..
Perhaps because he talks so little, it seems even more secretive..
However, that doesn't mean there weren't any questions..
“I'll stick with this. Why did you ask earlier whether Misha was a threat to Bjorn Yandel's life??”
The butterfly seemed to be curious about the identity of the black mask itself, and the same was true for the fox..
“Are you by any chance on the first basement floor??”
I guess I'm wondering if this is one of the people around us.…….
The queen was the only one to ask a question that had nothing to do with her identity..
“You once said that it was thanks to dimensional magic that Auril Gavis was able to come to Earth. Where does that information come from??”
Surprisingly, all three questions were quite interesting..
Of course, if we were to consider importance, the Queen's question would be the most important..
Anyway, the answer is chosen from over there..
Black Mask paused for a moment before briefly opening his mouth and answering..
“I've never been to the basement.”
It was an answer to the fox's question..
Well, unless it was really mixed up between us, that question was probably the most acceptable one..
“Did you get the answer??”
“yes…….”
After the black mask sequence was over, the clown opened his mouth as if he had been waiting..
“Fishit, it's finally me.!”
Is it really that good to get attention??
“So, let’s go ahead and ask! Isn’t there a bundle of things everyone is curious about?!”
When I listen to that triumphant voice, I don't want to ask any questions and I want to show no regrets.…….
“It's so sad. I myself have something I want to ask that person..”
“Fishit! I'm so happy that you regret it.!”
Regardless of the obnoxious clown's attitude, questions quickly poured in as people took their turn..
Fox, Wolf, Goblin, Queen, Black Mask…….
All the members except Butterfly and I asked questions one by one, and the clown seemed very happy about that fact..
“I have five questions... this this… Isn't this the best record so far? Fishit.”
“Okay, choose what to answer..”
“but… Isn't there one person left who hasn't passed yet??”
The clown, who calmly ignored the queen's urging, glanced at me. It seemed like he was expecting me to ask him a question..
I'm not really an elementary school student..
“Well, I don't really have any questions..”
“Hmm… Is that so…….”
“It doesn't matter what. If it's a fun story.”
For some reason, I felt so disappointed, so I added:.
It was an unconscious action, but it would be hard to call it a mistake..
Because of his personality, he is more likely to spit out more useful information..
In reality, it happened like that..
“It's a fun story... … . Well, that's not a bad thing. Now, let me tell you a fun story..”
“ha… Just ask or answer.”
The queen sighed as she looked at the clown who was aggro toward me..
But even so, my eyes were focused on the clown..
Anyway, I was curious about what the 'funny story' the clown was talking about was.…….
“August 2, 154 AD. The Noark forces, who had been living underground in the sewers for a long time without a single ray of light, went out to the world outside the castle walls..”
That’s how the clown’s ‘fun story’ began..
“Outside the walls, it was completely different from the stories I had heard. There was no witch's curse, and green forests and fields stretched out beyond the horizon..”
“So?”
“The people of Noark roamed the wide world as if exploring unexplored territory, and soon settled down in a suitable place..”
“……That's enough of that strange concept, let's just get to the point.—.”
“Pisit, don’t be like that, but listen carefully, right? Because it’s important from now on.”
“Try it.”
“The people of Noark had doubts. Why did the royal family imprison people within the castle walls? Why were people prevented from going out into the normal world?.”
“…….”
“The people of Noark pondered for a long time and were lucky enough to find the answer. And it wasn't until recently that I finally made a big decision..”
Tuk-tuk.
As if to heighten the mood, the clown knocked on the table to attract attention..
And finally got to the point of the story..
I don't really understand how the story above leads to this result.…….
“decided to invade Lapdonia.”
A great war was predicted.
***
Noark and the royal family.
The fight between these two took place only within the labyrinth after Noark left the castle walls. Noark occupied the 7th floor and fought against the royal army, slowly increasing his strength..
But that situation is being translated into reality.…….
“Invasion... I'm sure?”
“Fish… … . Do you think I'm going to lie??”
“when? Then when is it??”
To say that the ripple effect of the information the clown brought out was amazing would be an understatement. All members were excited and wanted to hear more details from the clown..
but…….
“If you're curious, find out for yourself! This is the end of my turn. Well, I don't know if you can tell me something interesting before the end of today's meeting. Fishit.”
The clown drew the line at an appropriate place and kept quiet..
It was a bit disappointing. I thought he might take advantage of the atmosphere and talk more.—.
“I…….”
As I was sitting still and gathering my thoughts, the clown looked at me and spoke carefully..
“How was it this time… … ? Did you have any fun at all??”
Honestly, it was a reaction I didn't understand..
‘From what I can see, it seems like the invasion plan was spread purely because of me.…….’
Why on earth does he want so much attention and recognition from me??
Anyway, I don't have anything to see again today..
I don't know, but I answered.
“Is that your question??”
Now it was my turn to answer their questions..
