"Well, the problem is,"

I have been coming to the Hunter Guild in Surplast since morning.

Mr. Buffalo Bal, Alliance Master, in one of the Alliance rooms.

Me and Saran.

For some reason, Team Baristes leader Bertier and Elfan Bertus. It came with mullies.

"Tanuki-headed sister has been targeted for a long time, or will she continue to be targeted?"

"Um, Tanuki, it's time for you to stop being a raccoon head."

"There it is... So, what's your point? You knew that butler, didn't you?

"I don't think it's a problem."

"Why?"

Mr. Bal listens.

"It was the fourth day we arrived in Topples that we did the pigeon extermination of Count Huxbal's house. I was in Topples for about ten days, but in the meantime there was nothing. I mean, I don't think Sarah realized it was an elf."

"Were you hiding your ears with that hat?

"Yes."

"Right. You don't look like an elf if you hide your ears."

Um, that statement has a lot of problems.

Really stop. Saran...

Wow...... My eyes are thinning. Let's not kill him. Kill him.

Mr. Bertier said, "What about being sneaked under surveillance?," I worry.

Are you worried about Saran? That would be so. Hey, I get it.

"It's not there either. We were exterminating a bunch of wolves and bears in Topples afterwards, so if we were watching, we would have thought it was a pretty powerful enemy. You don't think it's easy to kidnap a pigeon like that."

"You guys were doing that..."

"I would love for you to come into the party..."

Yeah, Mr. Leaders, you got the real deal.

Was the purpose that way? Well, if Saran puts you in a party full of guys, you'll be a hua too. I'll follow you soon. [M]

"I see they happen to find your sister in a liquor store and decide to kidnap her quickly"

"Yes, I was speaking to Ginia a few days ago at a gathering of elf hunters. I didn't think you had any information about an elf in this city."

"... you're so smart"

"Wow, Sin..."

Because I am still an ex-officio employee.

"What happened then?

"Nothing like this. I just buried him in the joint cemetery in the middle of the night without a name. I finished reporting to my lord here today: 'We had an attempted kidnapping in the city last night, so we captured and killed all the killers with the hunters who happened to be there'. It's not unusual." We've captured and killed a bandit on the street, "he pretends."

"Did you have something to identify you with?

"None"

"Naturally...... But the five of us stayed in this city, so there's a place where we were based."

"I thought about that too," Mr. Bal nods.

"Kidnap a woman. I can't even use the inn. There are branches in this city, of course, if it's the Huxbal family. In and out of Warehouse Street."

"I mean, I can't get my hands on it"

"Yes."

"Important people like Deacon didn't come back last night. I think we'll be in touch with the Huxbals by the end of the day."

"I'm doing that. I'm asking the guards at the gate to tell me when the Haxbal carriage leaves."

Is it a bribe? It's a bad habit, but it's a convenient means for adults.

"I think I can't take this kind of danger seriously. Even in my body. As important as a Haxbal family figure named Deacon commands, so don't see what you're doing, don't ask, but it'll be normal. There's got to be nothing that the guys in the office know about or are lending a hand. I guess."

"I hope so, but if the butler hadn't come home at night,"

"I'm about to go kidnap my sister. You're about to say," I'm not going home tonight, I'm going straight back to the realm. "If it was the Haxbal carriage, the gates would have let us through at night, and if the tail had worked, it would have been our plan to escape into the territory that night."

"I hope so, but the Huxbals naturally realize they're gone with the butler, and you'll find out what happened."

"That's right. But you can't possibly tell me that that kidnapper is your noble servant. Just hearing about the five kidnappers buried quietly pulls back. Deacon is missing, or died suddenly. That's the place."

"Nah!

Yeah, the leaders are convinced.

"Um, do you have any information on the Huxbal family?

"Oh, there's plenty of them. Until now, we've all been blind to the Elf Kidnappers, but as long as it's clear who's behind this, the rest is quite easy. There's as much information as there is."

That's how Mr. Bal gets many sheets of paper out of the envelope.

"Our Lord is Count Fandel La Haxbal. I'm already seventy years old. Her wife is a lady from the Berdbulk family. After fifty. My next lord, my oldest son, Fallus La Haxbal, is a dru son who is thirty years past enough but has a bad reputation. You're still single, it sucks to make a beautiful woman in the realm a murky mistress. He's suspicious, if you say so."

"Really...... Deacon wasn't a bad person, either, and he cautioned this lord about his outstanding payment to the hunter. It was strange that noblemen like you had a hand in kidnapping me."

"You're not a nobleman, it's not uncommon for parents not to have a son, even a fine one. The greater the parent, the more the son grows. That's it. Deacon, if you want to hear what my son Dora has to say, there will be circumstances."

Hmmm......

"My second son has a faal who is serious and often helpful in managing the territory. There are more voices for him than for the next term. You're standing your brother up for once, but it feels like you're burning your hands at your brother's prodigal trinity. He's a kid in the side room, he's only twenty."

Heh...

"It wasn't actually five years ago that we completely abolished slavery in this country."

"Advertisement. You've been here lately."

"Before that, slavery was barbaric, and there was a long time before the movement, and virtually no nobleman with slavery was a minority."

I see.

"It was actually this Huxbal family who was hard against abolishing slavery then. You were opposed to the example Dra son. In the end slavery was abolished by the king's life, and the slaves who were in each house were freed, but at that time there was an elf among the freed slaves. So my son Dora was obsessed with the elves."

Ho......

"What happened to that elf?

Saran listens.

"The village chief of the elf came to pick it up, he should have asked me to go home"

"Oh...... I've heard you say that. Was it Taton Village?"

"That's about all I can tell you. You guys, don't think weird, okay? It's mostly a cold story if you leave it alone. Don't get involved."

"Yes, well."

"Anyway. Just in case... Raccoonhead will be working with Barristes for a while. This is an order."

Mr. Bertier, what is that gutsy pose?

Mr. Bertus, can you get that far? You're out of business, right?

"We're still newlyweds!

"Fine, fine!

That's why we got into trouble again at Baristes' home in Dry Brick Street, where Saran and I spent the day cooking and stuff.

Other members? Of course I'm thrilled......
