Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 51.5

Lady Evans is always kind and beautiful, but does she become very frightening when she gets angry?

“Answer Beryl-kun properly while you’re here. If you joke around even a little…”

“Stop… please… I can’t stand that…”

“If you answer properly, I might let you go, so answer correctly.”

“Yes…”

I decided not to imagine what she had been through.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Beryl.”

“Riesty… I can’t say my true name…”

“Your true name is fine.”

I see. There are three patterns: true names, common names, and alias names. So the alias names are what others gave them.

“Then, to get straight to the point, why did you target Lady Diana?”

“It was an assignment… an assassination… I don’t know the reason. It’s true. It was dangerous because it was near the royal castle, but… I just accepted it because the reward was quite large. Witches are often hired for assassinations. But we never ask the reason. That’s why we are often hired for high-profile assassinations. Everyone relies on that for their livelihood.”

“Mm-hmm. That’s true.”

“Oh? Lady Evans, do you have the power to discern lies?”

“Yes, I do~”

Lady Evans is amazing…! She can use teleportation magic and move through space. Having someone like Lady Evans in the family would be very convenient. Plus, she’s incredibly beautiful. But that might not be relevant.

“Who was the person who made the request?”

“I don’t know that either. In such cases, we are always given an advance payment. It’s a contract with the premise that it won’t be returned whether the assignment succeeds or fails. The man who brought the request to me looked like a thief with a bad expression, so I don’t know who is behind it, and I don’t know where that man lives. The place where I received the request was Senegaria Town in the west. Beyond that, I really don’t know anything. I’ve already received the reward.”

“That’s true.”

Hmm… then it’s back to square one. I have an idea of why she was targeted, but I wanted to find out who is behind it and why they targeted her.

“This is troubling… I wanted to at least know who the culprit is.”

“…In that case, there is one good method. I’ll use my magic to extract her heart――――”

“Stop it!!”

“Then you can order her to find the culprit in that state.”

“Eh… then, please do.”

“Stop itttttttt!”

“Riesty? You put our young lady in danger and even targeted a friend, Lady Diana, so you need to be prepared accordingly.”

“Just the heart… please…”

“Beryl-kun? If you spoil her too much, it will hurt.”

“Of course. There is no mercy――――”

Because, it is true that danger came to the young lady, Lady Diana, and Alc, and if she is an enemy, I have no intention of showing mercy. If she is an enemy.
