Expecting to Fall into Ruin, I Aim to Become a Blacksmith Volume 5 Chapter 8
Botsuraku Youtei
Chapter 94
The sender of the letter was unknown. Well, on it was written –’Mysterious man and woman’, though.
They are calling themselves mysterious so it really is a mystery to me. Although it looked really suspicious but I had no choice but to open it and read it, as it could also be a clue to finding Eliza.
[Helan territory is in a pinch or something. Measures should probably be taken immediately. The great drought will come in a month or something! We are also trying to think of something but still couldn’t think up a breakthrough solution or something. Oh landlord, start preparing your residents to flee or something! Hurry or something! Helan territory is close to getting beaten by a curse or something!]
Umm, is it okay if I tear this to shreds?
There is absolutely nothing specific written on it and it kinda irritates me. Who is the person who sent this letter!?
I opened this hoping it was a clue to finding Eliza, or something! But all it was filled with was ‘or something!’.
We do get these urban legend type letters from time to time. This is the landlord’s mansion, for what it matters. There’s an abundance of these.
In the first place, if you’re going to send letters like this seriously, you should at least name yourself or something!
I can’t ask for the details even if I wanted now, can I?
Suppressing my anger, I closed the letter. I shall silently add it with the papers which needs to be incinerated.
However, the contents of the letter still remained in my heart…
How many days have past since then? There’s no progress. Will it be better to just stop searching for her now? The academy will also be opening soon. Will she come? No, she probably won’t.
I made Rahsa return to the capital.
Seems like prince Arch and Iris are also searching for clues in the capital. But they too have come up with nothing.
The prime minister’s post was still empty.
The memories of the Deauville family were starting to slowly disappear from the citizens minds. No matter how much power you may possess, when you decline, you fall real hard.
The Dartanel family has also not moved ever since.
They should be convicted soon but since their guard is really tough, doing that properly has also become a challenge. Everything had stopped.
And then, one day. The bad news came in all of a sudden.
Lotson-san came running into the house, with his face all pale. It was my first time seeing his face like this, as his face is usually the calmest of the calm faces. Did your wife run away on you?!
“Kururi-sama! …The hot spring… the hot spring has withered.”
“…What?!”
He immediately lead me to it.
The hot spring, which was the most popularity among all the attractions in the Helan territory, had withered. This hot spring, which was the biggest one in terms of size, had dried up all together.
“When did this start happening?”
“It seems the change had occurred today. It had already become like this when I came to check on it in the morning.”
“Were there no signs or symptoms?”
“No… none at all. It really just happened all of a sudden…”
“That can’t be…”
