(EP-221.1) #1
221 – Discovery #1
Though it might sound funny coming from me, but I had a good memory.
If not for that, I would have already exploded in this minefield of tragic endings strewn in every corner.
But.
The human mind had its limits. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Because of this, I meticulously recollected and transcribed the episodes from the novel. In other words, it could be seen as the story or timeline of the original ‘Villain Hunter’.
From trivial matters to significant ones, to word-changing events.
To exaggerate a bit, it could be likened to a book of prophecy.
Naturally, I kept that scroll hidden away in my secret safe, ensuring that no one else would lay eyes on it. Furthermore, I made sure to burn it to ashes before leaving the Angmar Kingdom.
“Theo, tell me about what is written here.”
How it came to be in Aira’s hands and in such a plausible hardcover is beyond me.
Whatever the circumstances, Aira had the records I burned.
No, the most important thing right now was not the how or the why. My attention should be on getting out of this predicament.
「You have calmly judged the situation!
You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

‘Good.’
As Calm Thinking got triggered, I felt my mind cool down. First, I decided to give Aira a skillful performance.
“Aira-nim, may I have a look at that?”
“Sure, as much as you like.”
Aira graciously offered the book to me. Flipping through its pages, I found familiar handwriting and content on every page.
I had to admit it.
This was my prophecy book...
Aira said.
“If you want to burn records, it is better to incinerate them at a higher temperature. Handwriting carries will, especially if it’s something important. It’s not hard to restore it.”
“So you knew that I wrote and burned these...”
“I am the Queen. I have the right and duty to know every single stone in the small town of Angmar. How could I not know about your mysterious treasure trove, Theo?”
‘I see.’
Aira seemed to know about the warehouse I had hidden in the basement.
But how and when did she find out? Perhaps when she visited my house? I couldn’t find any other explanation.
Then I calmly nodded.
“These are indeed mine. Though this packaging is a bit more colorful.”
“... Oh.”
Aira’s lips formed a circle.
“I didn’t expect you to admit it so readily.”
