Alchemist Yuki's Strategy

Episode 7: An Incident?

In the king's capital, Ruberion, there are three walls.

Exterior walls in the outermost shell and protecting the King's Capital.

Near the center of the city, a city barrier that protects where the wealthy, known as the aristocratic city, live.

It protects the castle in the center, the walls.

In all of this, the junction exists, so that when the junction and the wall are about to be broken, it can be evacuated into the city barrier, and when the city barrier is about to be broken, it can be evacuated into the wall.

For this reason, the walls seem to contain too large a garden and woodland.

Additionally, there is a path leading to the waterway beneath the castle, which leads to the underground lake beneath it and the underground lake to the fairy forest.

The escape route is well prepared.

The place where the museum is located is the south side of the aristocratic town, the closest of the aristocratic towns to slums and ruins.

Well, that doesn't mean the kind of criminals are tunneled, in the first place, they have the right identities to go inside through the city barrier.

By insecure, I mean, I guess it's a processing ground for some sort of dispute over rights between the wealthy.

Roll a corpse or something. Yes.

"It's time to enter the land Yuki received."

"Hmm, I see."

As you can see from the map, I knew it in the atmosphere before.

The aristocratic neighborhood is sometimes inhabited by wealthy people, and compared to the outside, there are walls and signs with luxurious decorations of what is less lively, and the colors are calm but gorgeous.

However, the area remains intact in shades and decorations, whether it has not been in the hands of people for a long time, but the weeds are growing or the paint is peeling off.

... if there is anything slightly bothering you, Purivol.

Are the allies of the poor picked up wherever they grow?

It is also because the aristocrats are gasping for poverty. On top of that, most of the grass that grows when viewed well is paribol and medicinal herbs.

There is no such thing as poisonous grass.

... Is someone growing it?

I ran into people in this place, where there should be no one, even though I had such doubts.

"Mm."

"Hmm?"

"Hiya!? Oh, Her Royal Highness Princess Estia!? Wow!?

It was the girl I ran into.

They are our peers because of their height and shape.

The red-haired girl, dressed in made-up clothes, is falling over in an attempt to grace her subordinate if she has panicked too much.

On a closer look, he was an apprentice-like maid who worked downstairs at Tia's mansion.

I tried to give him a hand and he said, 'It's scary!' I said and stood up stuffed.

"Oh, that! Princess... why are you here? Oh, you should go home because it's dangerous."

The girl who said that after alternating between me and Tia.

Apprentice...... or lower end...... I also remember the tone well because there was a lot of rushing around in the mansion.

"Hmm? No problem, I'm strong."

"Me too."

"Ugh, you did that... er... oh, that's dirty (you came) and dirty, so you should go home!

"Mm, but..."

"Hmm?"

It is full of suspicion.

I say the first hurry, and a forceful excuse to proceed with your return.

... I'm pretty sure he's hiding something.

"Actually, this area is going to be my land, so I came down here to look at it."

"Huh!? Are you serious? Uh... oh, I thought you remembered I was dropping something! I'm gonna get some!

That said, the apprentice maid ran away.

Losing things...

"Yuki, let's go. If we look together, we'll find him soon."

That's what I said, Tia. He guessed from that rush that he had dropped something so important.

Tia is sensitive to malice, but in situations where malice cannot be directed, it seems that the gentle spot comes forward.

"... I like Tia's kind words, don't I?

"Nah!?... Wah, me too! About Yuki, its... su, su, su."

"- I'll be there soon, okay?

"... Ugh..."

Tia said she would help me find something to lose, and even if I discovered something bad there, there would be no girl lost on the street unless it was too unsavory.

Whatever, me, Tia, and the apprentice maid are just here to find something to drop.

"Look, look, I'm going!

"Huh, goodbye?

"Huh?

"No, it's not funny, is it?

"Oh, I'll explain later! Let's hurry!

Hmm...... kidnapping?

I heard voices coming from smaller buildings.

Apparently, it's some kind of squire or small-timer's house.

The voices heard from it belong to the earlier apprentice and the tongueless child.

- Well, what's the matter?

That's what you think...

Gi.

The door opened.

"Ah."

"Mm?"

"Hmm?"

... Animals?
