NOVEL WEB Chapter 23: part 1 - Plotter
Kinda long so for some reason I felt like posting around half of it before I fell asleep. I’ll work on getting the next half up soon. Patreon,
He had just finished reporting to the king. Reinhardt was in charge of the Royal White Knights, that’s to say orders for the knights were passed down from the king by him.
He left the hall.
“If you’re going to go hide it’s better if I’m not following you right?”
Daniel leaned against the wall in front of Reinhardt.
“That’s my stance on the matter but that girl is just so interested.”
“Why don’t you quit looking at me with that creepy smile, how about that?”
“You’re as cold as ever.”
The shadow of a demon appeared to manifest behind Reinhardt.
“Joking, it was just a joke. Anyway, I’m here because there was something strange about that nootkerane.”
“Strange?”
“Yeah, it took a long time to restore because there was almost nothing of its original shape left. However, from that, we have learned something. Something important.”
Daniel had a habit of overemphasizing.
“It was empty.”
Reinhardt knit his brows together.
“During the dissection the team noticed it was quite thin. So they opened it up and found there was nothing inside of it.”
“Speak plainly, what do you mean it was empty.”
“That’s exactly what I mean, it was empty. There were no internal organs, it was dead before it ever showed up.”
“I see, so in other words.”
“There was someone behind this.”
A nymph beast was a type of monster variant, they varied. In the past a spirit disrupted the magic of various monsters, no longer in control of their own magic these monsters rampaged through town. In other words, the monsters subjected to a spirits mischief are known as Nymph beasts.
“Who would try and do such a thing…… I don’t think this is over yet, tomorrow we should investigate that forest.”
“Understood.”
Something dangerous was coming to his country, Reinhard could feel it.
The next day the investigation team was sent out to investigate the forest. Although they searched desperately they were unable to find anything, the forest didn’t seem to have changed.

Royal capital Razhausen : The old Town.
In a corner shop called ‘The Waterfowl’, adventurers and residents and tourists alike all come to relax over a few drinks.
In the corner sat two people with their hoods covering their faces.
“I didn’t think there’d be such a strange guy here, who is he?”
“Don’t worry, he’s just an adventurer. He’s not from here.”
The opposite woman answers.
“Hearing that is comforting but what if that guy comes again next time? We’ll miss our chance to kill the White Knight.”
“It’s not a problem, there are plenty of monsters.”
“You just don’t get it, I put a lot of effort in trying to find that nymph beast you know.”
“Your effort has nothing to do with this plan.”
“You’re sure that’s alright?” The man’s eyebrows wrinkled. “Nymph beasts aren’t easy to find, there aren’t many in a single forest. To begin with they’re the product of an accidental birth which is rare.”
“So just bring one from another forest then.”
“Nah that’s not necessary.”
“What do you mean?”
“Fran arrives at the capital, tomorrow.”
“Her?” Under the hood the woman’s forehead begins to sweat.
“Yep, speaking of which you don’t get along with her well do you?”
“……” The woman glares at the man seated across from her.
“In my opinion there’s no one more talented than she is.”
“I have no interest in your hobby, move the conversation along.”
“What, I can talk about it a little bit can’t I….” The man sighed. “Please bring me the nootkeranes corpse, apparently it’s been recovered. We can’t co tinue without that so please bring it before she arrives tomorrow.”
“Understood, I’ll get it tonight.”
“If you please.”
The woman stood up and exited the shop. The man stayed behind and drained the last of his mead, a fearless smile floating onto his face.

We arrived at Sierra’s house. In front was a large gate far taller than I was, and past it was a large garden. Rich bitch. In Japan she’d be a billionaire.
“I see, so Sierra is a noble lady.”
“Nope, I’m a knight through and through. Something like a lady…”
Sierra smiled bitterly.
“Sierra-Chan welcome home!”
“Mother. Don’t call me that in front of guests.”
A chandelier hung in the entrance way, with stairs larger than necessary and a ceiling it was impossible to hit your head on. As I thought, rich have it different from the rest of us. There’s no need for such a staircase, noone large enough to use it exists.
“Sierra-cha~N you’re still calling me mother? What happened to Mama?”
“Shut up for a while mother.”
“And who do we have here?”
The one to welcomed us was Sierra’s mom, she was quite the amusing person. Although Sierra seemed crushed.
“As I thought, Sierra is a lady after all.”
“Masamune-dono, please, don’t tell anyone about this.”
I saw a side to Sierra no one knows, it felt good.
“This is Masamune-dono and Toa-dono.”
“Masamune kun and Toa – chan…..” Sierra’s mom frowned. “Oh I see! You’re that Nito guy and Toa-chan!”
Sierra talks too much.
“I’m so happy you came to visit! Thank you for taking care of Sierra for me! Nito, no Masamune-kun, you’re like super strong right? I heard you rescued a boy in Tanya Village.”
Apparently I miss judged her, maybe it’s because she was beautiful. She may just be the end of me, I know it’s bad to say so but I feel like my information is leaking quite quickly these days.
” Mother…… ThisThis isn’t the place. ”
” Oh of course, you all must be hungry, why don’t we go have dinner.”
The room we were shown to had a large table, which after a while began to fill with luxury style foods I’d never seen before.
