Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 187

Translator: Para Sakura from dreampotato

After thinking for a moment, Lucas said something shocking again.

"Owner who has died here strangely is connected to the North Country. And the nobilities  who used to live here, was killed for keeping them mouth shut, though they were connected to my sister."

I looked at Lucas and Ricardo's voice rose up. 

"You…that's…"

"Firstly, I was worried that Ricardo and others would live in that kind of house. So I came here to check it if anything was wrong. But about Vika…That's unexpected, I couldn't imagine she was hiding here aboveboard."

Just for this reason, this was probably a good hiding place for Vika to play right into the enemy's hole.

"Anyway, let's listen to you one by one. It's disrespectful, but the Hakusu's have to keep an eye on you now."

I said that.

We had to listen to them briefly, then, went to search for Angela.

(I think Lucas is very dangerous, but now…Princess Vika is also particularly suspicious…)

I had already heard a lot from Lucas, so I decided to query Vika something.

Ricardo, Lucas and Girou were taken to the ground floor by the men I called to watch them. And Vika was kept in the basement.

If there was some strong evidence that someone could threaten the Central Country, as prisoners, they were supposed to be confined in a proper place.

And the highest prison in the Capital was a tower in the city for convicts.

This whole building was used as a prison for those criminals of vile nature.

By the way, Ricardo's brother Mirarudo was there now. 

If the prisoner committed a minor crime, he would be sentenced and released if a ransom was paid. But for those criminals in the tower, as long as it abrupt, they would spend the rest of their lives there.

The Central Country didn't use cruel torture and punishments, even the death penalty was just hanging or taking poison.

The Britney in the shoujo manga died by hanging.

Whereas, the North Country was famous for its harsh torture, and its judgment method was absurd too.

For example, they made the suspect holding a hot iron bar, and if he suffered serious burns, he was guilty; or they threw the suspect in the water, if he sunk he was guilty. Although their civilization lag behind modern Japan, this was too much.

In the Central Country, the lords had their own jurisdiction, generally speaking, whatever it took place in the territory was settled by themselves.

Merely, when there were cases like this which involved the countries, they would go to trial in the city.

I was in the basement facing Vika.

She wore her hair back and looked at me with the dark eyes as same as Lucas'.

"So? What do you want to ask?"

"About the second and third book of shoujo manga, I heard that the author was dead when the second book was being serialized."

"Are you doubting me? I just told you the truth."

Vika answered me quickly.

She dropped her eye sight toward the upper right corner with her hands around and kept moving her feet steadily.

"Yeah…"

"That's so impolite, we are all reincarnated. Lucas is the most dangerous one!"

I interrupted Vika as she started to rise, and said.

"Lady Vika, I'm no longer skeptical."

Ryuze had taught me this when we were working together.

Usually, people asked back because they didn't want to answer.

They were afraid that others would see through their lies and wanted to change the subject.

People who had unspeakable secrets could easily behave this way when speaking.

Vika's hands were crossed to hide shaking and other.

Her feet moving more was a sign of wanting to get out of here.

As a right handed, the reason she looked at the upper right corner was that the left side of her brain, which knows the language, was thinking about the contents of a lie.

Maybe, she was so nervous that she blinked a lot and talked fast and loudly.

All in all, Vika was full of telltale signs if I observed her in the way Ryuze taught me.

I couldn't shelter her anymore, although I was willing to believe her.

Lucas was not so good, but Vika was more detestable.

"…Where did you hear that rumor? Or, is it just your fantasy? You are being impolite…"

"The death of the author was heard from another reincarnator."

"Emm!?You mean there is another reincarnation besides you?"

Vika didn't know Serunya was also a reincarnator.

The credibility of the claim of the author's death was enhanced by her apparent reaction.

"I never thought there would be another reincarnator…And you have already connected with him."

"So could you tell me the truth, Princess Vika? There is no escape for you, depending on the crime, you may have your sentence reduced if you tell me the truth.”

"Ha, a third-rate character could say arrogant things, but it's too late now."

Vika's attitude changed completely.

She found it useless to play dumb and began to abandon herself.

Actually, all she had to do was cover it up a little bit or stick to it for a while…Just as Lucas said, she was quite simple.
