Satou's here. Talking about interrogation reminds me of spy movies. It seems even interrogation can have change in fashion, from violent and torture, to guiding through words and drugs like truth serum, they're changing through ages.

When I get near the detached building where the slender man is, I hear voices of men and women entwining.
It's boorish of me to disturb an exercise of love, but let's have them sacrificed for the sake of the public welfare.
When I kicked the entrance and intruded, the sound suddenly stopped, and then I heard some rustling sounds like they'd flee.
After passing through the entrance and entering the bedroom inside, a half-naked beauty with coquettish smiles turns toward me.
If someone were to put their hands to someone her age in Japan, they'd be caught due to the juvenile protection regulation.
"That guy has escaped. Go there if you want to chase after him. Or maybe you want to play with me? It's just one gold coin a night you know?"
I throw the cloth near my feet to the girl, covering her naked body.
She doesn't seem to be shy, but she's probably not a flasher either.
"Tell me if you know the things he's done."
"He's a trash whose parents are fallen nobles, shamelessly leeching off in this house by depending on the favor that his father did long ago. Is it okay with that much?"
Just when I thought that she told me easily, it seems she's going to charge now.
The girl signals with her fingers to give her money, so I takes several gold coins from my storage and throw it to the bed.
"....Did that guy do something to be guilty of?"
Looks like the girl became cautious instead since it was too much.
I'll not hide it and make her speak for her sake too.
"It's treason. You're not his mistress or collaborator right? If you speak everything you know, I won't accuse you of the crime as an information provider."
"O-okay. That's why please promise me not to involve my little sister and mother..."
Looks like the crime of treason is more serious than I thought.
To the girl who's desperately clinging to me, I tell, "That' depends on the information you provide", and push her behind.
Taking advantage of a girl who's worried about her family like this, I'm quite awful if I do say so myself.
"He had been engrossed in a society called 『Wind of Liberty』 since a while ago, but ever since his father was shut out of the high society, he said something like, 『This world is wrong for not accepting me』 and then began to associate with some strange foreign people."
"Do you know which country they're from?"
"I think they're probably from Holy Kingdom Parion. They said something like, 『The kingdom of the god who brought the hero summoning is the preceptor of demon lord believers』."
