"Uncle Gabriel, since you're here, does that mean their healing is complete?"

"Yes, of course. Their recovery ability is already good, after all, they are warriors. If we slightly help them heal their wounds and accelerate their physical recovery, they naturally recover faster. I don't know why, but whenever I see you, it feels like injuries heal quickly. Is it just an illusion?"

"Of course, it's an illusion."

"Oh? That was a quick response."

"Well, it's necessary. Since you've provided an option that makes things very simple, clear, and natural, why should I bother coming up with a reason that may not be as reasonable?"

"Are you indirectly telling me that you're just talking nonsense?"

"I didn't say that. It's just your conjecture, right? I'm just responding to your words, isn't it?"

"Fair enough. Then I won't ask how you made the griffin's body disappear. After all, I won't get the right answer, right?"

"Why not ask? I never said I won't tell you."

"Then how did you make the body disappear?"

"I won't tell you."

"..."

I looked at Uncle Gabriel's somewhat helpless and frustrated expression, nodded, and then turned to walk towards the direction of the convoy.

When I returned to the side of the convoy, I was surprised to find that they had already packed everything, although some of the items from one carriage were forcibly distributed to the other carriages... but in reality, the most important things were already in my ring.

I don't know why they were so cautious in transporting these Eastern humanoids, but it clearly had something to do with the upcoming events involving the Somo family and the Ais Empire.

I always feel like the Somo family is going to rebel... but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

Well, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but seeing these Eastern humanoids, especially since they were brought in from the border, I can't help but feel that the plot will be different from what I imagined.

Who is the real invader?

I don't know, and I don't want to know. Whether or not this event happens is not something I can decide, and I have a reason to say so.

No mission.

That's right, because there's no mission. All I have is an investigation into the Somo family, which shows that I am not a participant in the events that are about to unfold. To be precise, I am an observer who has no significant impact on the outcome.

It's the feeling of not receiving a mission. It means that I haven't approached the crucial part of the story yet. It's just the intersection of my personal mission and this event in the past.

But if I continue to delve into it, I'm sure it will intersect with the main storyline.

Of course, I am a pacifist. If war can be avoided, I naturally hope to prevent it. How should I put it... I don't want there to be fewer people in the academy when the next semester starts because of a war.

It would be boring.

But if that's really the case, although it's only a small part, I would be helping the invaders attack the Ais Empire.

Indeed, it's better not to act recklessly when you're uninformed.

Although my influence may be insignificant for the war, considering that there are likely many convoys transporting humanoids like this, it would still be a good thing if I can weaken their fighting power.

But the question is...

Who is the one trying to harm the Ais Empire?

To put it simply, the information I have received so far doesn't directly indicate who, only speculations.

It seems necessary to contact the Emperor of the Ais Empire and the Somo family later. Compared to my own speculations, it would be better to ask the parties involved directly.

Although the Sin family has indeed conducted many inhumane experiments, in this world, even if something is immoral, it is still "understandable." After all, there are no complete regulations to restrain us, only morality. But even morality does not have clear rules, as our perception of it varies depending on our values. In summary, everything is "chaotic." Although I cannot agree with the Sin family's experiments on human bodies, even clones have the right to choose their own lives. Of course, my thoughts are influenced by my different values. For the people of the Sin family, clones were never considered as humans from the start. So as long as I do what I believe is just, I will be fine. After all, if I were to get involved in everything, my life would never end.

In the next city, I need to investigate a merchant named Abdul. He is a troublemaker who has no data in his title. "Brother~ I completed the mission well, just so you know~" suddenly, a voice interrupts my thoughts. There is only one person who can call me like this, and that is Oyado. She is currently excited, holding the ring I gave her. Although I didn't give her a complete explanation, I understand that she has completed the task of collecting the scrolls from the humanoid battles I assigned to her.

Taking the ring from her hand, it immediately becomes one of my items in the item bar, and all the items inside are displayed. There are a total of 374 scrolls of various elemental magic, filling the entire space of the scroll. It's been a while since I saw so many scrolls in my item bar, except for the ancient scrolls. It's a nostalgic feeling.

I tap on the virtual screen, and after a while, I throw all 374 scrolls into my ring space, then I notice Oyado staring at me. Even the most obtuse person would understand Oyado's current mood. When someone continuously looks at something you hold with desire... no, perhaps longing is a better word, the conclusion can only be one - they want what you have.

"Just like we agreed, I'll give this ring to you, Oyado~ But please take good care of it."

"Thank you, Brother~"

She takes it from my hand... no, she actually just snatched it and immediately puts the ring on herself. Her expression is as if a child has obtained a treasure, full of excitement. It's an indescribably adorable smile that words cannot capture accurately.

But because the size of the ring is different, it seems she can't wear it directly. She looks at the ring for a moment, then runs out.

She is as cute as always... truly my sister. Although we are not blood-related, so it doesn't explain anything.

"Although I apologize, we need to accelerate our pace now. I believe everyone understands that this is for the safety of our group. I assume there are no objections, right?"

"..."

Although no one speaks, they all nod in agreement.

"Alright then, let's go."

It's great that there was so little discussion. Could this be a sign of good luck? It should be, right?
