"Mm, don't be impotent!

"I knew it..."

Problems arose as we tried to hand over the bandits we captured about the next town.

A small town with a population of two or three thousand. There it was impossible to take over 400 bandits and so on.

The knight, who knew the size of the next town, had anticipated in advance that he would not be able to have it taken.

"... hey, what do you do?

Ira, who will be my escort by my side, asks me in a whisper.

To be honest, I wasn't thinking. I could just hand it over when I went to the next town. No, I was only thinking about it.

'So I opposed everyone's capture alive.'

Noticed by Melissa watching Alf playing with Dion at the Mansion.

Melissa knew beforehand, so she disagreed.

That is why at that time he has presented me with an unexplained proposal.

"I have no choice. Sell out only a few of the people you need and take the rest to the King's Capital."

"No, the time you're doing that..."

"You saw how fast this carriage travels, didn't you? We were traveling at the same speed as normal places until we got here. I won't bother you. I'll take him with me."

"... ok. Which way, it's true that I couldn't leave you like that. If that's not a problem, I'll allow you to accompany me."

All right!

Now we can go as far as Wang Capital while reducing the number in a stopover town on the way. The King's capital is being rebuilt right now, and a workforce that can be used for cheap wages would be happy to accept it.

Proceed as proposed by Melissa.

One merchant comes when he's negotiating with the gatekeeper. Pretty long, flesh forged by it.

"What about you?

"He is the one who runs the slave trade in the town that lies ahead. Today, I stopped by after I received another item, but when I heard the rumors of the town, I jumped out unexpectedly"

"Ko, I'm in trouble......!

One soldier arrived out of breath following a man named a slave trader.

"Is he a real slaver?

"Exactly. After capturing the bandits who showed up around town, treating them as slaves can't do us any good. So I just tried to hold onto the story..."

After I already went this way, I rushed after him, something like that.

"Now, pick the slave you like and take him. If it's going to reduce the number of people, I'll sell it for less unless it's the kind of price you buy."

"That helps"

Those in business were to proceed with the slave traders.

There is no slave to escape. The luggage car is not ready to be opened from the inside, and even if it escapes in some way, it will be captured by Sylvia or Illis, who are eyeing it.

"What kind of person would you like?

A slaver asks the town knight.

"Right. It's going to be winter, and it's enough to have five male slaves to take on all sorts of physical tasks."

"Well, you should look as healthy as you can"

"Yes. Please in that direction...... oh?

Stop in front of the carriage where the knight is.

The person in the carriage was leaning down and trying not to show his face.

Still, the knight figured out who was in the carriage.

"I wonder who you are, Mr. Dahlia's salma."

"Ugh, shut up......!

And my friends are with me.

Some of them in the same carriage react freaking out.

"Do I know you, sir?

"Oh. It was years ago, but they didn't like being in this city, so they left for the king's capital. I thought it was something that would come home splendid, but I thought it was dead because I lost my voice... I didn't think we'd be seeing each other again in this way."

A knight with an invincible grin.

Doesn't look like I ran into a very old acquaintance.

"I went before you guys left, didn't I?" It's not as simple as you think to become famous in the capital. "

"Oh, yeah, I did."

Object in a small voice.

They also had some strength in hunting demons near the town. But that degree of strength doesn't work if you go to a big town. I succeeded in becoming an adventurer and climbing down to the D-rank, but couldn't get ahead of it.

Suggest that one of your buddies return to his hometown in a less successful state of affairs.

But I couldn't go home under the circumstances then.

Money to work as an adventurer, daily living expenses, debts that I've been tricked into making while I'm playing.

They can't change bases while they are there, and sometimes they get nominated by the Adventurer Guild for seemingly late repayment.

As a result, I was unable to return to my hometown, and my days of earning interest on debt and just a few daily subsistence expenses while smoking in Wangdu continued.

"In the end, I started dyeing my hands at evil because payback never ends when I just normally make money"

Once a crime is found out, you can't live a normal life.

They failed in the first crime and found out who they were, and they had no other option but to live as bandits.

"... can you let them go?

"Are these guys okay?

"Yeah. You can't leave your hometown alone. Above all, your mother will be saddened waiting for you to return."

"Well, as for this one, I don't mind if you pick it up"

Five people who were in the carriage are released and allowed to receive a reward - ten pieces of gold per person.

Afterwards, the slave traders choose who is likely to become a workforce.

Except for the first five, however, they will be taken to a trade mall run by a slave trader. So it is the fate of criminal slaves who wish they were bought by a decent opponent, but who in most cases would be thrown into a harsh working environment.

"Ah, good morning"

One line I stayed overnight in town that day.

I let him rest in the carriage without taking advantage of the inn in town. Someone needs to keep an eye on all these bandits. However, since the situation is such that we are taking them around at this convenience, we were allowed to bear about the watch here.

I ran into just a pair of knights when I got out of the carriage.

One is my brother, and the two lower end, albeit knights, have to work from a rough time in the morning.

"What happened to Mr. Sylvia and the others?

"The women would have gone home."

"I'm home!?

Of course it is in the mansion.

"I told the three of you to go back and rest because you seemed tired."

It's really convenient to have [metastases] at times like this.

"Did you just leave it to them?

My brother turns his sharp eyes to me.

If you look at me, I know you're awake. I was only resting on myself leaving the woman with a harsh night watch.

"I'm in charge of daytime, so I just let you sleep during the night. Would your brother like to return to the mansion, if I may? You must be worried about Arianna."

If I'm just gonna go show my face for a second, I'll be fine.

"No, it's normal for knights to leave beside their families on long assignments. If I'm the only one doing that, my colleagues will resent me."

Exactly. I'm not taking back a knight other than my brother.

"Would you like to make it breakfast for now"

Remove the easy to eat sandwich from the [toolbox]. Easy to eat with one hand, but Sylvia made it with care, so various ingredients are pinched in mind for nutrition.

"... hmm?

I felt an enviable gaze and turned around and my brothers were watching.

"Would you like some?

"Are you sure?

"There are a lot of them, so it's okay for a little while."

Because preservation works, there is just an amount of trouble on a year-by-year basis if you feel like it.

Brothers. Walking with the two knights. Looking around where the carriage is. They kept me waiting outside town because I didn't get permission to enter the town with all this number. Scale horses are fed fine leaves and leftovers about bandit meals.

"Is that...?

A coworker knight noticed something and stopped.

"What's up?

"... Is the number of carriages increasing?

Indeed, the number of carriages has increased since yesterday, when we arrived in town.

"This way."

There were three more carriages in the place I showed you.

"Huh..."

"... I'm getting a headache"

A coworker knight lost his word the moment he saw the figure being captured in the carriage, and his brother also had a head.

"Looks like there was a raid trying to escape the bandits captured during the night, so I captured them."

All the bandits in the vicinity are tied up.

In the carriage was a knight dressed in knight armor.

"They all promised to testify about what they were doing in exchange for returning to their families after they testified."
