――To take back Tanza, a group of people belonging to horned races had attacked Subaru’s group.

However, since they had been waiting outside the inn since the start, they must’ve had a meeting beforehand on what they should do if something happened to Tanza.

And within that inn, the only possible conspirator for Tanza was――

Abel: “――None other than Olbart Dunkelkenn.”

Al: “…It’s also possible that the inn’s employees worked together to hide her, y’know.”

Abel: “Naturally, I am not blind to that possibility. But I have firm assurance.”

Al: “Firm assurance?”

In response to Al’s questioning voice, Abel nodded deeply.

Why was he convinced that Olbart and Tanza were conspiring together? That would be because――

Abel: “He took the trouble to challenge us to a mere child’s game of running and hiding. That is the sort of vicious plot the old man is fond of.”

Subaru: “Find me if you can~, like that?”

Abel: “Correct.”

Subaru couldn’t help but make a disgusted face at Abel’s affirmation as he corrected his posture.

Abel’s guess, based on the badness of Olbart’s character, was spot on. Yes, Subaru was also intuitively convinced of the reason for the disgusted look.

The fact that he had suggested “hide-and-seek” was itself a metaphor for hiding Tanza.

Subaru: “But if that’s why we were attacked, then it’s a kimari26 violation!”

Abel: “Are you referring to the rule about not harming each other? He would get away with it by saying, «I did not do anything». Even more so if Tanza is in league with him.”

Subaru: “Guh… Such an unfair scheme…!”

Abel: “Therefore, the priority shall be to locate Olbart. Then, Tanza’s whereabouts shall be simultaneously disclosed. But if the plan is revealed, the pretext for playing “hide-and-seek” may vanish.”

He had now understood how the fact that Olbart and Tanza could be together had been discovered. But he didn’t understand the part on how that would be the end of the game of “hide-and-seek”.

His eyebrows furrowing, a frown formed on Subaru’s face. Now facing him, Abel snatched the oni mask from Subaru’s hand with violence.

Startled, Subaru exclaimed an “Ah!” as, in front of him, Abel put the oni mask back on,

Abel: “Olbart’s goal is to ascertain if we are worth negotiating with. He is more interested in this than in childish ploys. Therefore, if we can unravel his true intentions, we needn’t go through the trouble of a contrived process.”

Subaru: “Ahh, okay, I think I get it…”

Abel: “――Is the extent of your intelligence becoming poor in earnest?”

To Subaru, who was barely following his explanation, Abel muttered so with a sigh.

He couldn’t counter Abel’s point. Subaru, too, was aware that his head was clearly out of whack. However, he wasn’t aware of to what extent.

Perhaps his thinking was shoddy, his words didn’t come out right, or he just wasn’t very smart.

Subaru: “I wasn’t even a smart guy to begin with…”

Abel: “As for your case, the issue is that you have lost your ability to comprehend and your creativity. The details of Olbart’s technique are unknown, but one theory would be that the body reflects the ups and downs of its own Od.
