"That's the Viscount Flebble mansion where the incident happened?

Me and Sylvia sitting in a seat overlooking the window and looking at the mansion at the end of the alley.

The current location is called the aristocratic district in the central section close to the royal castle among the king's capital. He drank tea at a coffee shop where he could see the large mansion in that painting and looked at the mansion in a remote location. The coffee shop used by the aristocrats is also pricey, but this is also a necessary expense.

"So, have you noticed anything?

"First of all, I'm a gatekeeper, isn't it too quaint?

Two gatekeepers stand in front of the mansion. With gatekeepers standing in most mansions, it is not surprising in itself that there are gatekeepers, but only gatekeepers standing in front of Viscount Flebble's mansion are always wary of those who go on the road with lethality.

And that's not all.

Sylvia didn't notice, but there are a number of people who are on guard outside from inside the mansion.

Obviously more alert than any other mansion.

"It's normal for a mansion where a former lord was murdered."

The current lord, Viscount Flebble, usually operated the territory in a mansion in his own territory, and in a mansion in the Wang capital, the father of the current lord, who was the former lord in conjunction with other nobles in the Wang capital, spent the rest of his life in the mansion.

Only in such circumstances had the incident occurred. Currently, our lord, who was in the territory, had also come to the Mansion of the King's Capital.

It was easy to get information simply by listening a little to the incidents that took place in the aristocratic district.

"I got information about the current situation and stuff, but what are we going to do now?

"I'd like to know more about what happened the day there was the incident, if possible..."

I just couldn't get more information from listening.

"I have no choice. I'm gonna go talk to him for a second, so just wait here for a minute."

"Oh, hey..."

But when I got up, I noticed.

I am anxious to leave one Sylvia, a slave. This is an aristocratic neighborhood, and many of the nobles even look down on civilians. What would happen if slaves were using it alone in coffee shops where the centre of such users are aristocrats?

I didn't really want to use it in a place with a lot of people like Wang Du, but I decided to use labyrinth magic.

Now the Sylvia collar should only look like a necklace ornament. Problem behavior such as deluding the collar, which is a sign of slavery, with phantoms, but if you don't find out, it's no problem.

Leave confused Sylvia on the spot to approach Viscount Flebble's mansion. In doing so, he wanders his gaze with kyorokyo and pretends to look like a suspicious person.

"Hey, suspicious guy over there, stop"

The gatekeeper called.

Although I know there are other mansion gatekeepers who are suspicious, I do not try to imitate my mansion security in such a way as to speak out.

However, in the Viscount Flebble residence, where the raid had just taken place, the gatekeeper actively spoke out of the desire to eliminate the suspicious figure beforehand.

"I've been kidding around for a while now, what's going on?

"Oh, actually, I'm the first adventurer to come to Wang Du yesterday, but apparently I got lost... I tried to ask people the way, but I was just having trouble figuring out what to do because I got out where the mansion looked expensive lined up"

I pretend to be only a troubled adventurer lost in the way.

In fact, the king's capital is vast, and if you're not used to it, you're lost in the way.

"What a lost. Then if you go straight down this big road, there's a fence at the stake, so you take a left there, there's the entrance to the aristocratic city, and there's a stuffing there, so you should ask for more directions there."

"Thank you"

Appreciate the unexpected hit on a kind person.

"By the way, I've been wondering about this earlier, isn't it kind of just this mansion where the security is rugged?

"Oh, that's the thing. I just had a case the other day, so I'm just a little over-alerted."

"Hey......!

I raise my voice to blame the other gatekeeper for talking too much, but the gatekeeper who gave me directions was laughing hella without worrying.

"So some are as short-tempered as he is. I suggest you leave without getting involved."

"By the way, the killer hasn't been caught yet, has he? That's why we're so strictly guarded."

"Right."

"If I could catch that killer, would I get a prize or something?

"My lord is a forgiving man. If you get caught, you might get a gold stamp."

"Really? I hope we find somewhere where the killer can hide."

"I don't know. Because the adventurer who sees us as the killer is not settled in Wang Du. If you have a family in Wang Du, the first thing I suspect is that your family is hiding, but they don't have family or friends close enough to hide in Wang Du."

Oh?

"In the meantime, if you have a killer-like opponent, I'll catch you and bring you in."

"What kind of a killer is that?"

"Come on?"

I don't know either, so I'll give it back to you appropriately, and the two of us split up laughing at each other.

Walk according to the directions you were taught, run through the aristocratic city where you can no longer see from the gatekeepers, and return in a great hurry to Sylvia's waiting coffee shop.

"Welcome back"

"I'm home."

I'm kind of freaked out by the sight of someone welcoming me into the Wang Capital when I say I came alone.

"What?"

"Nothing. I found it more interesting than that"

"It just seemed like I was laughing and laughing with the gatekeeper."

There's no way I can hear the conversation from here, so tell me what you talked about and make me listen.

"Where do you find interesting information about that?

"They didn't even get any hands on Mr. Lardo because he had a family and it was a territory ruled by others until they found out he was outside the King's Capital. And he didn't seem to know Sylvia was coming to the king's capital."

Mr. Lardo was quite resentful because of the condition of the mansion.

If they had secured the identity of Sylvia, Mr. Lardo's daughter, they would have used it as a hostage against Mr. Lardo without selling it to a slave trader.

"I've heard a lot from your sold slave traders, but they came directly to sell it with a caution stick from the guys who specialize in lending gold. However, their strength is no different from that of the city's chimps."

"But those who caught me wore better gear than chimps..."

"Probably caught a noble private soldier or something, but they're the gold lenders who came to sell directly to the slave traders"

At first, I thought there might be some connection between the murdered nobility and the chimps, but apparently not.

Thanks to the fact that he was also aware in the mansion while talking to the gatekeeper, the other gatekeeper, who had also heard the conversation nearby, was reacting with stronger emotions. The spearhead of anger, he said, was also directed at that family, and he couldn't forgive the family without a direct relationship.

"Here's what you'd expect about this case. A nobleman asked me to assassinate and steal Mr. Lardo, who had trouble paying off the money he borrowed to treat his wife."

Sylvia was about to get angry in response to my words, but somehow she decided to listen to me.

"So it was the former Viscount Flebble who was killed. He was Mr. Lardo, who was seen on the run, but managed to escape and get paid by the client. I just couldn't get out of the Wang Capital because of the response of the Flebble family sooner than I expected if it took me a long time to get paid. So I'm still hiding somewhere."

Is this the place?

I said something. I did, Sylvia, but I couldn't say it back because of eyewitness testimony or something.

As for her, she's going to prove your father's innocence.

I'm just wondering if it's hard to prove my innocence. There may be some circumstance in the background, but I'm pretty sure the executor is Mr. Lardo.

"Maybe, but I'm not gonna give up until I hear from your father."

"Then why don't you go see your father?"

"Huh?"

Exactly. I'm not going to go see him now.

The time is in the evening in less than an hour. If you take the time to search, it will be evening or night to reach Mr. Lardo. Perhaps the place where Mr. Lardo is hiding is an insecure and easy place to hide because nobility could not be found. You can't take Sylvia to a place like that late.

"The king's capital is quite vast. How do you find a father that nobles couldn't look for even with their blood eyes?

"Use this magic tool"

I have a stranded crystal in my hand.
