Happy Wednesday! And a Happy New Year!

Heres the chapter, enjoy.

Retice Kingdom, killed Commander Saran and tried to use us.

At that time, if I had not escaped, around this time, I wouldve met my end just like Commander Saran.

Or I would undoubtedly be used in some way.

In fact, if it werent for my classmates that had been left behind, I wouldnt even want to hear that name.

Ive heard most of your conversation. Your conjecture should be correct. Youve guessed it, havent you? Which country wanted that document to use as a pretext for war. its the Retice Kingdom.

When Kurou entered my room, he collapsed onto the sofa in the room.

Even though both Latisneil and I were standing, as expected, its because he was past his prime, wasnt it.

For the time being, I wont ask why the demon is here.

Kurou said this and glanced at Latisneil.

Latisneil was fidgeting around as if feeling uncomfortable, and I had no response to those words.

Kurou didnt haveEye of the World, so he shouldnt have known that Latisneil, who seemed to have the same amount of magic power as humans due toMagic Concealment, was a demon, but perhaps they knew each other.

Perhaps he knew what I was thinking or maybe he didnt, but Kurou naturally continued the conversation.

For now, do you want to hear about Retice Kingdoms current circumstances? Your acquaintances are over there as well, right?

Rather than acquaintances, theyre more like people from the same hometown.

Those guys were more than acquaintances, but we werent friends.

Since there was no word for classmate, it was hard to explain it.

Or rather, were there any schools here in this world.

In fact, I dont really care about those guys, but if they died, I would have a guilty conscience.

I see. unfortunately, I dont have any news about the summoned people within the castle. However, it seems that theyre not dead. The amount of food being delivered to the castle hadnt changed.

At those words, I unknowingly let out the breath I was holding in.

It seems that I was more concerned about my classmates than I thought.

That day, I did not regret leaving by myself after being falsely accused, but I thought that I should have gotten rid of the curses that had been inflicted on my classmates.

At that time, I was desperate, and Commander Sarans death shocked me, so my judgement was impaired.

I thought that Zeal-san was in the castle, so things wouldnt devolve into the worst case scenario, but now, both the hero and Zeal-san were not there.

What should I do.

I didnt know how the hero and the others left the castle, but at the very least, they probably resented me.

Its not necessarily a good thing that they didnt die. Whats more? Theres information that indicates that Retice Kingdom wants to start a war, isnt there?

When I asked that, Kurou, with a grim face, gave a solemn nod

Aah. You, when you were in the castle, was there a rumor that the king wanted to resurrect a deceased person?

I thought about it a little and nodded.

Come to think of it, I feel like I had heard about it from Commander Saran in the castles library.

His beloved wife passed away, so he wanted to bring her back to life all the while ignoring his daughter who was still alive or something like that.

Would I be like that as well if okaasan or Yui died.

However, even in this world where you could use magic, that kind of thing was impossible, so I ignored it.

It was impossible for someone who had died decades ago to be brought back to life even for AmeliasResurrection Magic, so its just a fairy-tale in the end.

However, that sort of thing is an impossibility. What does that have to do with wanting to start a war.

If dead people could come back to life, the people of this world wouldnt be afraid of death.

However, there was a grim look on Kurous face.

If, for arguments sake, that was possible, what would you do?

With Kurous words, the temperature of the room seemed to have rapidly dropped.

Oi, youre joking, right? Dead people coming back to life, its not possible.

Dumbfounded, Yoru muttered this.

However, I knew that even if there was a catastrophe, Kurou wouldnt joke around.

But, if that were true, would Kurou revive his younger sister.

Unfortunately, its true. however, it seems that one would need to sacrifice thousands, millions of lives. I wanted to know if theres someone you want to resurrect even if you need to go to such lengths.

Those words made me speechless, but I was also a little relieved.

It seems that Kurou didnt think of doing such a thing.

How would you do it? One person does not equate to the lives of thousands, millions of people, right?

Why was it necessary to pay such a price even though only one person died?

That, I dont know, but it seems that in order to revive a single human using the skillExchange, one would need a large number of lives. Thats why, the king of Retice wants to start a war. In the beginning, they tried to go to war against Yamato which is also situated in the human territory, but it seems that Zeal-boy and the chivalric order put a stop to it and it ended without incident.

I see.

So thats why Zeal-san was discharged from the chivalric order, huh.

I dont know which country was stronger, but either way, there wouldve been many casualties.

Why didnt the citizens of Retice Kingdom oppose it.

Or was it that there were people who did object to it, but the king turned a deaf ear to their objections.

Or rather, theExchangeskill, huh.

Its a worrisome skill.

Did it mean that if there was an appropriate compensation, you could do anything?

Regardless of whether it was in combat, or in ones daily life, it was a skill that was highly versatile.

So, where did you get that kind of information?

This was something that Ive always wondered.

No matter where he was, or where he went, Kurou would get a hold of information from somewhere.

Kurou ruffled my hair when I asked that and left the room.

Its a secret.

Every single one of his movements were handsome.

Even though he was an old man at the end of his lifespan.
