As the strongest witch in history, I somehow ended up being feared so much that I’m all alone. So, I figured I’d buy a cute girl slave and ask her for all kinds of things
“Hey! Forensics! Forensics!”
“…This pattern of magical energy, could it be?”
“It’s a trace left by the Witch. Don’t miss even the slightest clue.”
The monster I defeated—no, the monster Tia defeated, was now surrounded by a bustling crowd of people.
“…”
In the end, I didn’t say anything. Even so, thanks to the highly capable people around me, things seemed to be under control. Many members of the knight order were gathered around the creature, investigating various things. No one particularly asked me anything.
“…”
Honestly, even if I had been asked something, I’m not confident I could have explained it properly. If someone questioned me about it, I don’t think I’d have the confidence to say I could handle it. Still, being immediately told to “please wait here” and handed a chair, only to be completely ignored while they started their investigation, felt… well, a little dismissive.
Was I really being underestimated that much?
“Hmm… This pattern of magical energy. I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.”
“Eh? You’ve seen it before…? From this monster?”
“Yeah, exactly. First off, this thing was definitely artificially created. Look at this part here… Hmm.”
I wanted to help, even just a little…
“…”
Thinking such thoughts, I watched the people working hard in front of me. They were putting in their best effort to resolve the situation using their own abilities.
And when I really thought about it, I didn’t actually know all that much. In fact, there wasn’t much I could say at all.
“…”
Hmm… Maybe it’s fine for today.
That’s why I’m no good.
While pondering how this encapsulated all the reasons I’m inadequate, I decided to leave the situation to the people here and began my search into Tia’s origins.
…
……
“Is this alright…? That was a masterpiece born from our technological prowess. And now, it’s been completely destroyed.”
“But it’ll leave traces behind. It’ll be obvious what we’ve done.”
“Still, it was worth it. We’ve finally found it… Finally found it. At last, we can achieve our goal—”
——Finally, the time has come for us to fulfill our purpose as the Cult of the Evil God.
