Dual Life ~Hiru wa Yuusha Party, Yoru wa Maou Gun~

"Yeah, it's almost like this"

The exchange of information centered on Falsa, Palmina and Zenobia proceeded without interruption, revealing roughly the problems of Viscount Fouche.

"But ... I thought that the corruption of the local aristocrat was progressing while traveling, but it is rare that it was so bad. It would be absolutely necessary to protect the aristocrats! It is outrageous to crush the firm for the sake of the sake! "

Zenobia was angry and shouted, screaming and striking a marble table. Too much power was cracked on the table surface, and Julia opened her eyes astonishingly. Noblesse Oblige .... For her, who had been prepared for her aristocratic since childhood, this case would never be forgiven. At the heart of the information gathered by Farsa was Viscount Fouche crushing one major firm in his territory with other firms and nobles.

"And the reason is that the lord's son is holding his only daughter in the firm, so I'm really angry at me!

"... Yulia, to say that, angry hair, hit the heavens."

"Eh ... oh, oh oh oh!"

Julia was also angry, but she turned red in the face of Palmina's sobering look and jumped into the knees of the neighboring Zenobia. Apparently, he tried to use the words from the east like Falsa and made a mistake. Viscount Fouche has not been blessed with child treasures for about ten years since marriage. His son, who became seventeen this year, grew selfish and innocent, drowning in the late successor, and his reputation in the city was quite terrible.

"In addition, it seems he had had a lot of trouble in the past, and Viscount Fouche had lost much of his money and power."

What Palmina collected was mainly reputation for the Viscount's son. When the men who applied for marriage were shown to be interested in the only son of Viscount Fouche, they all told bad reviews. I forced a relationship with my florist's daughter, I forced out my impregnated maid just as I said I had used it, I just committed a woman in front of my fiancee, everyone when telling Palmina who is a woman He was talking a long way around, but the wrongdoing had no spare time, and he was able to gather considerable information. No matter how aristocratic, such behavior should not be tolerated, but his father, Viscount Fouche, has performed quite a few hands behind the scenes, and has been left open to this day. The son did not participate in the dinner, but was playing with the daughter of a company that was crushed in the room.

"In addition, they seemed to have received a considerable amount of bribes from merchants to provide various conveniences and to make a sudden tax increase without filing a declaration to the country. Must have been worsening. ''

Zenobia looks back at the information she gathered while patting Julia's head on her knees. Her gatherings were mainly about the Viscount itself, particularly young knight men who sympathized with Zenobia's integrity, talking in resentment. The rumor of the aristocratic daughters was also very helpful, as they easily leaked information about the house that had been told by their father, and the nobles who were connected behind the scenes were being considered.

"I'm doing this bad thing, so I have to defeat it firmly! Brother Fal, are you going to hit the Viscount's room from now on?

Yuba, who glanced up at Zenobia's knee, faced Farsa with her fist, showing the influence of a recently read Eastern book. Despite the smile of Yulia's childlike appearance, Farsa begins to gently advise her.

"If this were a story, but this is the case ... even if you capture the Viscount or Son in the current state, the other aristocrats who noticed the anomaly may be upset and revolt. I don't know what to do if I'm hunted down, and when I do, I'm going to be a soldier under my noble, and I might hurt innocents "

"Uh, uh, that's exactly what Fal said. So what should we do? Even if we go back to the Royal Capital City and report, it's not enough to just give circumstantial evidence."

"Well, we should collect evidence here. Wouldn't it be reasonable to collect the certificates we exchanged in commerce, etc., because the movement of gold cannot be deceived? And a letter stating a bribe request or a tax increase order for each town or village would be useful. "

In Falsa's words, Julia raises questions and Zenobia answers them. She was the only daughter of a big noble, and the decision was accurate, and Yulia was impressed and stared at Zenobia. Rare and expensive tools such as contact balls are not widely used, and the main means of contact is by letter. Therefore, it is necessary to write a content that requires a bribe in a letter to the person who is away from the territory, and to the mayor or village mayor who holds the land even if the tax is increased, The tax collector needs to bring an order with the seal of the lord. Understanding the movement of gold in business transactions and tax relations allows you to find unnatural places and to pursue fraud from them, but there is a problem here.

"But that would take a lot of time. I don't think nobles and merchants will issue letters and deeds straightforwardly. That's pretty much the case with a tax collection order ..."

Palmina shook her neck with her hand on her cheek, making a slightly annoying voice. It goes without saying that those involved in fraud do not give proof of evidence, and others do not cooperate with it. Even if you are not involved in wrongdoing, if you are stared at by the lord, you can lose your place of living and work in this region of Fuché, so if you do not have enough trust, the other party will become a court mage and a knight commander It is a waste. For them, the nearby lords are more terrifying than the big ones living in the distant royal capital, as they are directly connected to life. The gossip is said to be the essence of social circles, so many deceptions are heard, but there are quite a few people who actually do something.

"That's all you have to do to sneak in and steal! We're in the Viscount's palace this way.

"It's almost impossible. We've been here for a day, and we haven't even grasped the structure itself, and it's commonplace to find hidden rooms, safes, etc., that lead to evidence of fraud. That's why it's hard just to find it, and your soldiers and wizards are looking around, and there may be some barrier magic to detect. "

"That's why it's going to be difficult without making a fuss ... but it's not very good to have a deal with Viscount Fouche. Isn't it difficult to neutralize someone without hurt? Anyway, it's going to be harmed, and that would end up falling over, so I can't hire it anyway. "

The three sigh deeply into the uncertain outlook, and begin to ponder what is best. Meanwhile, Falsa looks a little awkward and begins to speak quietly.

"Um, all three are a little nice. Honestly it's hard to say in this air, but would you look at this?"

Falsa took out a bunch of documents and letters from her pockets and spread them out on the table. The other three had an evenly suspicious expression, but when they checked their contents, they turned into an astonishing expression. In this, the Palmina, the Lady, opened his eyes and turned to Falsa, as if silently asking for an explanation, and both Zenobia and Julia followed.

"Oh, yeah. It's no wonder everyone is surprised, but I've gathered evidence of the Viscount's injustice."

Farsa, who has already concluded that the three men have concluded that he could not do so. Obviously, you can't believe it, but there's plenty of support on the table. Once again, the three confirmed the contents, but from any point of view they were far more than sufficient to pursue the injustices of Viscount Fouche, revealing even more excommunication.

"Fal, this isn't really a quick job. What happened?"

Yulia asks Farsa, shaking her voice, but it will be no different. By the way, the room where the Farsas are gathering is one room that the Viscount had prepared for women to sleep. In fact, Yulia had decided to sleep in this room, and Zenobia and Palmina were next doors, but Falsa of different gender was being led to a room far away. This was a natural response for the host Viscount, but the man Falsa would not be able to go to the women's room in a stately manner, and thus decided to gather in a time of low visibility.

"Hey, there's been a bit of time since the dinner was over. I was a little disappointed.

Yes, in the hours before the man gathered in the room, he easily sneaked through tightly guarded places, easily found hidden rooms and safes, and thus gained evidence. One of the most active actions in the series is the transfer magic hidden from Julia. Falsa's transfer magic can be easily moved from a distance with a magic mark, but it does not require a magic mark to move closer. The range is all places that can be seen, and even if you move from the outside of the room to the inside, you can move only by checking the state from the gap of the curtain. In extreme cases, as long as the magic power is not exhausted, by continuing to use transfer magic, it will be possible to move at high speed even though it is in the sky, and if there is only a small gap that can peek inside, Falsa will You can get in. And if you put a magic mark on the place you have moved once, you can freely visit as many times as you want. In this way, he used the transfer magic and, of course, some other magic, to search the inside of the hall in a short amount of time, and even to sneak into the house of the colluded firm and aristocrat, gathering all the evidence.

"Mr. Farsa, I guess I'm not going to make any excuses. You've been surprised many times, but it's ridiculous so far ..."

Zenobia's encounter with Falsa has changed his values and ideas in a positive way, but nonetheless is astonishing.

"Hmm, I think this is a little ... no, I think it's a great thing, but ...?"

Palmina, a saint, is slightly less than impressed by Falsa's actions.

"Fall, you must never be a thief? If so, I ... I must become a detective ..."

Yulia seems to have started shaking her shoulders and getting into a selfish delusion. In her head, it is right now that the Phantom Thief of the Century and the Detective Julia are fighting. Of course, it is undoubtedly the result of the story I read recently. Julia doesn't like studying, but she reads a variety of books when she has the time to recommend it to her, a reader.

"It sounds like you're terrible, but I did the job well, right?"

Don't do what you don't need to do, do it quickly. Farsa only follows his beliefs, but sometimes it works beyond the understanding of others. Because of these repetitions, the Demon King's Army became the Four Heavenly King, and in the Kingdom, he became the Court Mage's Leader, but it will be a little further before the person himself becomes aware clearly. .
