Amaku Yasashii Sekai de Ikiru ni wa

A few hours waiting for Lord Velco to return.

I shook my head at Theon's inquiry and welcomed me out of the reception room to listen to the situation, which was unusual to be lively in business, a temptation to induce anxiety somewhere.

... that Lord Velco's absence is unexpected for the Hendra Chamber of Commerce?

Now that I realize it's a matter of not welcoming to the voices of people coming from behind the hallway, I walk out with a single voice to a young man and a female employee who are obsessed with watching the office with an anxious look across the door.

"If you two care, please come with me"

"! Thank you for your concern"

"We will be with you"

The two of you turned around with a hazy look and came early enough to thank me for my words. I guess they still care about Lord Velco, who hasn't returned, either. The office at the end of the hallway is also noisy, and Luce's father seems well admired. More than anything.

But why did Lord Velco go missing......

That's what I thought for a moment, and I immediately think it's a stupid question.

Perhaps Lord Velco must have grabbed something.

Good merchants are sensitive to customer requests. I guess that's why he only asked for minimal help and wrote down his thoughtful advice not to go into it, but he figured out and tried to get what I was really looking for from all that information.

And I got involved.

Maris seemed to have been watching me for a long time, so it was likely that she was washing her friendship, and she knew that she had been close to the Hendra Chamber of Commerce.

It was yesterday evening when we headed to the Schultz Chamber of Commerce to meet, probably around evening, when Zenos disappeared from a store on the black market. In the morning, did you grab Lord Velco, who left the Chamber of Commerce, or did you bowl together at the Schultz Chamber of Commerce?

Stepping into the office imagining a few streets of what might have happened to Lord Velco, the face of the Hendra Chamber of Commerce was poking at each other with a pressing look.

"- Definitely, you were the chairman, weren't you?

"Yes. You seemed somewhat drunk, but you looked the same as you went. The escort said he was staying with us, so we decided it was no problem and went back to the office."

"Is that last night and a half?"

"Yes."

Apparently I'm in the middle of listening to the situation.

Looks like you gave it a look just in time.

Running his eyes to grasp the status quo as he quietly approached them not to be disturbed by their enthusiasm for the story, the assembled employees were throwing questions one after the other, mainly men sitting back in their chairs moisturizing their throats with drinks while moving large layers of clothes.

"And then you picked him up in the morning, didn't you?

"Yeah, by the time the morning market merchants started opening their shops. But after the city was over, I couldn't come out, so I asked the Shultz Chamber of Commerce, and they told me they'd gone home a few minutes ago. So I came back to the office once, and everyone said I hadn't seen the chairman yet, so I went back to look for him."

"You've come around to the chairman's destination shop and the familiar merchant, haven't you?

"Yes. They haven't seen anyone. If you see the chairman, he says," We have a bargain, so please return to the office immediately. "

"But there's no chairman, and I haven't heard from anywhere. What do we do?"

Employees face each other with tannic surfaces in the words.

"A familiar vendor said knights and soldiers are restless today."

"They won't be able to deal with the Schultz Chamber of Commerce in the first place. There has long contributed to Handel's economy. It's over."

"So do you hire mercenaries?

- I'll go.

When I rang my footsteps to prompt my attention, the gaze of the employees who were anxiously working out a plan came to me at once.

"" "Dear Doyle!

"I'll look. Notify the guards, just in case."

In my words, the face of the Hendra Chamber of Commerce gives various expressions of relief, confusion and impatience. It was the head of the Handel branch who looked first class complicated among them.

"It's... but is it good? Does Master Doyle have important business to attend to?

I shake my neck firmly to him, whether I ask him to say it or not.

This is my responsibility. If you don't want Lord Velco to go in deep, you should have asked him at such a critical time that you don't have time to look into it.

"Lord Velco was most likely involved because of what I asked him to do."

If he says so with remorse, the branch manager spins his words slightly apart when he puts his hand on his chin as he contemplates before exploring.

"…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Anyone who resells it will show up and solve the monopoly sooner than they sell it everywhere in the Majesta, but while you have a workshop, you can't lose the price competition first. So I was also convinced by the story of trying to plunder the sales channels with colored paper as bait. So I prepared seats for the meeting as they say...... The Schultz Chamber of Commerce is only called established, it is a chamber of commerce that has handouts to people and deals with a wide range of products. I think some of the umbrellas specialize in wood and other materials."

"Can you look it up?

"Immediately. I will also look into the chairman's room just in case. If there's been a situation, Velco probably has insurance."

"Please"

The employees rush to trigger a conversation between me and the branch manager.

By speaking to each other, I turned my back on the face of the Hendra Chamber of Commerce, who acted while confirming my work, and looked back at the Scions, who stood up to do what I could do.

Theon and Mr. Richter at the border between the hallway and the office, then trying to open their mouths where Julia and Ries are in sight watching from behind, but Theon starts talking before that.

"I think he'll be here in less than a minute because he's sent to get our people."

"That's fast."

"Well, about this much"

Mr. Richter opens his mouth immediately, following Scion, who flaunts his shoulder.

"At my discretion, I sent my men to a store near the Shultz Chamber of Commerce where they didn't see Lord Velco or someone like Zenos. Are you sure?

"Yeah. That'll help."

Apparently everything I was going to ask for was done.

Then I turned again to the office to help the Hendra Chamber of Commerce face, when the store door swayed and a bell rang to announce my visit.

An employee who was near the front door reacts to the sound and rushes over, but it was the voice of a woman who could be heard who controlled him like that.

"I'm sorry, sir. Today's sales..."

"You don't have to worry about me because I'm not a guest. We've come to see Master Doyle."

After a beat from such a conversation, Lord Pail and Lord Sumva show their faces. And when he glanced over the office, Lord Sumva finally fixed his gaze on me and asked me what was going on.

"- Much rushed, but something happened? Lord Doyle."

"I don't know where Lord Velco is when you've been checking the timber trading records."

I wondered if they both frowned at the same time in my response, slightly and Lord Pail groaned in a stiff voice.

"That's an unwelcome encounter."

To see from her mouth, apparently someone is missing in the castle as well.

It is information that has an increased unpleasant feeling.

I didn't seem to be the only one who felt that way, and I was asking what happened to Lord Sumuba when Shion stepped into the office.

"Who's gone that way?

"This is the former king, Lord Pinez Doyle. After lunch yesterday, he went to the black market, and then he lost contact, and according to a close diplomat, the upper management seems to suspect the elves were involved."

In response to Zion, I forget to breathe for a moment into what Lord Sumva said.

The former king of Pines, whose news is unknown since after noon yesterday.

Zenos, who would have dazzled his whereabouts around the same evening.

Lord Velco, who has been missing since last night's meeting.

It is difficult to describe the three people who disappeared to follow the order as coincidental unanimity, and I ask Lord Sumva for further information.

"Do you know what caused Handel's upper management to have doubts?

"They've been witnessing elf-like appearances on the market lately here"

"Actually, even at Zenos', Ries is finding traces of elves."

"That, again. That sucks."

If I told him about this situation, Lord Sumva threw up his hair to mislead his frustration, but he threw it up.

I know how that feels painfully well. If this isn't the Hendra Chamber of Commerce office, I'm in the mood for one or two evils.

If evidence emerges that the elves have captured Lord Pinez, the dispute is no longer avoidable.

Assuming people and elves, even if they realized that they were being set up by someone else, they wouldn't be able to stop.

That's what I mean when I put my hand on Lord Pinez. His position as the 'former king' has a lot of influence and is worth it again.

It is therefore unlikely that they have already been killed.

Even if the Maris and the others had instructed them to kill, the killers should keep it as a trump card until the female males of the battle, which will happen later, decide. If you keep it alive, you can use it when stopping, negotiating, etc.

And so is Lord Velco. He is very effective as a handbill against me.

If no body has been found yet, it is reasonable to assume that the two were caught for the future. There must be plenty of room for rescue.

"Right now, I'm having people at the Hendra Chamber of Commerce look for clues and suspicious stores. Soon the ancient serpents that Theon called us will be here, so let's split up and find them."

"Oh."

When Lord Sumva nodded with a rugged face, he heard voices from employees who were rushing around the office.

"- Thank you for waiting! This is the material and woodworking stores that are associated with the Shultz Chamber of Commerce."

"Then, this was inside the vault in Velco's room. A copy of the recent inquiry from Handel Market regarding the timber trading records and this document are probably documents related to Doyle's request."

"Thank you"

Receive a list and a bunch of paper given to you by the employee and the branch manager and quickly look through them.

The names of the chambers and vendors that lived side by side and the transactions of various sizes, small and large, as well as the documents that would have been autographed by Lord Velco, were compiled about novel timber sightings and rumours.

"... Lord Velco is excellent. I think I can do it as a secret detective."

"Yeah. Trouble is,"

I nodded sighingly at the exclamation from Mr. Richter, who was peeking into the material with me.

As you can imagine, Lord Velco seemed to have reached the Holy Tree on his own. From one piece of information called "Timber Trading Records," the foresight of my purpose is great, but it is also the idea that I am too competent.

The last person to witness the 'refreshingly sweet-scented wood' that was taken away without being put on the sales floor was an employee working behind the market, about a month ago from now. At that time, it is likely that the face of the Pania Chamber of Commerce had met Holy Wood in the warehouse of the market when receiving materials or something, which also coincides with what Ries told us.

If you look at the trading records, this is probably the holy wood, as one of the transactions that is not written down to the seller or buyer with a small number of copies is marked.

I can't decipher from this material how I identified Holy Tree from the many small, bearer deals, and how either the buyer or the seller would connect with the Shultz Chamber of Commerce. But it's worth betting on than Lord Velco went missing as a result of finding some relevance.

- - Pakara, pakara. Jari. Chatter.

If I looked up at the material left behind by Lord Velco and thought like that, the sound of horse hooves, footsteps, and metal rubbing off each other plundered my ears, I looked up, and Zion and I met each other.

"- Young lady, I think we're starting to get together."

"Oh. I'm going now"

Respond that way while pulling out the paper bearing the name of the material and woodworking shop from the bundle of documents and putting it on the top, and if you chase after Scion, who went outside, support the branch manager to gently push the door open and not close.

"Regards, Chairman"

Along with the words, employees of the Hendra Chamber of Commerce simultaneously broke their hips.

That's how worried I was. You must want to go with them to find your own boss. But with that feeling, just a bunch of deeply lowered heads poke their chests.

- Lord Velco and Lord Pinez find it at all costs.

There are many who await their return, and I am one of them. Besides, we can't let Maris and the others like us forever.

Burn the employees in my eyes and I step out to dive into the office door.

"I will definitely take you back"

That's how the big search began throughout the night.
