"Dad!"

"Sylvia!?

Mr. Lardo was surprised to see his daughter rushing over. Anyway, the other daughter is not supposed to be in Wangdu. My daughter held me in her arms without understanding why.

"How could you be in a place like this?

"I've come this far in the slums of Wangdu looking for my father."

What we are now is one of the private houses in the Glades secluded outside the Wang Capital.

We rushed there, too, because Lardo, who we found using a pendulum, was hiding himself in the ghetto.

"Really, I was worried."

"Sorry......"

Sylvia, holding him, was crying out and Mr. Lardo was stroking his head to calm him down.

"My father didn't come home and my anxious mother breaks down, and I was worried because Orier couldn't leave my mother. When I came to King's Capital, my father was supposed to be a criminal, and then..."

The predicament from there will be hard to say from my daughter's point of view.

I just thought I'd explain it to you, and I noticed Mr. Lardo's collar on Sylvia's neck.

"This... isn't it a collar of slaves!? No way......!

Mr. Lardo finally notices my presence waiting for me at a remote location and he stares at me. No, I'm your husband, but I'm not treating you badly or anything.

"Wait... Mr. Mars is really my husband, but he's a very good man. Because I would never have reached my father without him, and I would have been driven into a worse position."

"What do you mean?

It's going to be a little long, so I'm going to go into a decaying private house and sit in a chair placed in front of the table. I was just a little surprised to see the sight of taking tea and sweets out of the storage ring, but as soon as Sylvia's story started, I was calm.

Then Mr. Lardo suddenly bowed his head against me, although Sylvia was depressed when she told him what had happened since he came to King's Capital and let him hear about the wall slip and the fact that he was a bandit at an early age.

What, all of a sudden!?

"My daughter took great care of me this time. I can't thank you enough to thank you."

"Please raise your head. I just lent the money, and I hope you can pay me back any of it..."

"Of course we want to pay you back any money you pay to buy your daughter. However, if I heard from my daughter, I believe that whoever purchased my daughter would not have been able to reunite with her in this way had it not been for you. Glad you have the magic tool (magic item) where I found my hiding place."

Magic Tool - It's about the pendulum.

Pendulum Dowsing is a magical tool that uses an object that you want to look for while floating in your head, so that a crystal attached to the tip of the chain will point you in the direction of the object and will tell the user the distance to their destination on the head. However, the drawback is that it consumes a lot of magic all the time. I had Sylvia hold a pendulum to compensate for its shortcomings, which I could use by putting my hand on it and continuing to send magic. Later, he arrived while using it at the stronghold to confirm his destination.

This was a maze of buildings among the favelas. The pendulum doesn't even tell you how to get out of the maze because it's something that tells you the direction and distance to your destination. We arrived after lunch, even though we left the inn in the morning.

However, there is no better place to hide for Mr. Lardo, who has the skill of being out of the wall. Because even if they do, they can just slip through one wall and travel from chase to a place where they can't catch up.

Like Lardo said, it's a place you can't reach without a pendulum.

"I just learned about this one -"

"- You shouldn't dye your hands for crimes such as burglary. is it?"

Mr. Lardo gives a surprised look for only a moment, but soon he shakes his neck vertically to affirm it when it becomes a serious face.

Sylvia was biting her teeth off when she saw that.

For Sylvia, even though it was only a few days old, because she believed in her father's innocence and endured slavery as well. I didn't want to admit to telling you in advance that it was highly probable that my father was the killer.

Nonetheless, his father, the person of the day, pleaded guilty.

"Mr. Lardo was commissioned by someone to murder the former Viscount Flebble."

"Yes, it was Associate Baron Boban ruling the territory next to Viscount Flebble who was haunting my head about how to construct gold"

Associate Baron. You've lost your nobility once again.

"Do you say that the Boban family was awarded the Knight by His Majesty for their work on the battlefield, and that the former Lord developed the territory to the size of the Associate Baron, but not a nobleman whose son, the present Lord, was praised... a nobleman who prides himself on birth"

It wouldn't be a big deal if he was a family member who just went from being a knight to an associate baron.

"Because he was such a person, he didn't manage his territory well, he didn't do anything to save himself from his own failures, and he was directed to Viscount Flebble, who was doing well in the immediate vicinity."

Huh?

Possibly, Mr. Lardo put the jewels he had hidden in his nostalgia on the table that he thought he would. Is this the jewel you stole?

"This is a jewel that the former Viscount Flebble gave from His Majesty the King when he was young. This in itself is not as valuable as a gem, but the former Viscount Flebble always seemed to wear it at parties such as the social world"

"So you say it was the client's purpose to steal the jewels he gave from His Majesty the King and shame the Viscount Flebble family?

"Exactly."

Through anger at what I asked for, I don't want to be stunned.

'Cause that's just eight hits. Viscount Flebble has nothing to do with it.

"In the territory of the Viscount Flebble family and that of the Boban family, which was my client, they were selling specialities made from potatoes in the same way, so they also seemed to think that if the fame of the Flebble family were to fall, they could sell specialities from their own territory"

Just because the lord's fame has fallen a little doesn't mean that it goes down to the value of the specialties made by the people who live there.

What are you thinking, that Associate Baron Boban?

"So how did you kill the former Viscount Flebble?

No matter how much I said I was carrying around without letting go of my skin, I should have taken it off during bedtime.

"I don't know where it is. I'm the one who did steal the jewels. But I'm definitely not even going to murder! After I stole the jewels, they even covered me with the killer of the murder because I played the faulty notion that they would be found on the run, but I refused to dye my hands until the murder"

I want you to keep your voice down because you're hiding for once.

But the thought that you're not really involved in the murder comes from the way you're really yelling at me.

"The reward was received the next day, so I realized I was tailored to be a murderer during the time I went to the Boban family mansion. It is true that I have even committed the crime of theft. I can't help being judged for that. But as it is, they even put on the killer's wet clothes. Somehow this happened while I was looking for evidence that I wasn't a murderer. I'm sorry."

I bow my head again, Mr. Lardo.

It's not that I've been praised for committing theft, but it's also a matter of being tried for a crime I haven't even committed.

"You haven't even exchanged any contracts?

"I was making the contract when that was signed, but it was taken away while I went to get paid and complained. It was a request I wanted to keep a secret too, so there's nothing else left to show my connection to the Boban family."

I guess it would still have been different if I could at least show the Flebbles that the Bobans are behind it, but it's hard not to have physical evidence.

"What will you do now?

"What do you mean?

"I can use the magic of transferring space, too. With that, we have a limited number of destinations, but we can get out of the Wang Capital. However, in that case, you will be pursued for life as a criminal, and depending on the circumstances…"

Sylvia and the rest of the family could be targeted.

Still, you can let Mr. Lardo escape to the labyrinth with "Labyrinth Magic: Metastasis".

Mr. Lardo is surprised to hear that the ability of the mobile system can be used just like himself, but he looks at Sylvia and thinks of something before giving his opinion.

"No, at least we want to converge this case in a way that doesn't bother our family. Could you give me a moment?

"Okay."

Today, that's what we're going to dissolve.

By the time we got back from the Glades, the sun was starting to set, so we took a short stroll through the King's Capital to change our mood and then came back to the inn for dinner for two.

"So, what do we do now?

Asking Sylvia, she leaned down for a while before

"... I don't know"

That's all I said.

Well, I don't even know what it feels like. Even though there were circumstances, it is true that his father had committed theft.

It was a help I started with a little feeling, but that's just the subtlety of whether the idiot nobleman can turn it to the enemy even to the nobleman, even though he's the other guy.

I've got a lot to think about...... chip!

"Duh, what's wrong?

Despite the meal, Sylvia had a Kyotong look on me when I got up with a loud noise. Pretty for a young face, but not in that case now.

"Mr. Lardo is under attack!
