“When we arrived here, there were no signs of soldiers. No bloodstains either. It was as if people had simply vanished. We heard that a pass was required to proceed, but there was no one to give us one, and we didn’t want to be suspected of illegal entry. So we decided to leave a note and move on.”
“I see. We’ll believe you. You may have the power to kill everyone here, but even you couldn’t erase all traces of those who were here.”
“Right, I can’t use magic.”
“…What do you mean by ‘magic’?” Richter asked, finding his own comment rather clever. There shouldn’t be any evidence pointing to magic in this place. “Even we don’t know if it was magic.”
Richter found it a bit suspicious. Orcs didn’t lie. So this confusion seemed genuine. But Bash was different from the others, being the ‘Orc Hero.’ It wouldn’t be surprising if he did something different from other Orcs.
However, delving too deeply into this could be dangerous. Even if he uncovered the lie, it could result in the death of everyone present. Therefore, he had to be cautious from this point on.
“I have to ask you a favor.”
