Though half as expected, two of the First Battalion of the Royal Illustrative Army, who received the report, were modestly puzzled. To be precise, General Rover and others cursed evil. This is how...

"Drop shit! Now it's harder to sniff around Elgin!

"It's like a bomb, in a sense, to be the orphan of the Duke's family, who was destroyed on the basis of discord with the subpeople, even though it's a neighboring country. I don't know if the Elgin sub-people are aware of it, but if they follow it around poorly, it threatens to irritate them. Since the Vazari incident, the relationship between humans and subhumans has become more subtle, so it's awkward (first) to bring in extra sparks"

"Now I can't help Elgin..." Follow in the footsteps of your hand. "

"It would be sophisticated enough to stick someone up and keep an eye on suspicious people coming in and out..."

"The day you did it, no doubt, you won't notice."

"I guess...... unfortunately, I seem to have to give up"

"I'll ask you to be careful in the future, adventurer guild bad friend."

In the king's office, which was completely familiar, two of the First Battalion had told the king and the prime minister the upside of the matter.

"Phew... of the behavioral radius of…"

"I didn't even think of it as a diversion. I was blinded by the presence of Noland and Vazari…"

"It's just an exploration at the moment. Don't let it stop you more than you have to."

"I know, but it's a shame."

"What is Elgin, whose orphan is hidden… the two of them are right, and it is undesirable in a double sense to explore"

"I don't know... I didn't expect that much, did I? Also, is there a connection between Lord Holbeck and Mr. Holbeck?

"As for the former, I was wondering if there was any. Morrow, Silva and Valen all happened before the slave liberation battle in Vazari. It is also possible that Lord Holbeck's presence is greater that he (or) is hidden in Elgin. But......"

Here Sir Warren cut the words uncomfortably.

"I can't say anything about the latter. If you are Lord Holbeck, a subhuman moderate, you are not emotionally strange."

"But it's not enough to be crooked just like this emotionally. If that's what you're talking about, don't be a jerk to the Yaltas."

"Then the rest of us are likely to be in the suspect's head count."

"Yes. That's no reason to doubt it. The biggest question is, who carried him (or her) boy to Elgin?

Was it an unexpected question, the three of them are cramped with answers.

"How... did you avoid the eyes and carry them normally?

"Between the time we stopped hearing from Vazari and the time we were discovered in Elgin, we should have continued our search with a lot of caution. And I haven't been able to grasp that footprint at all."

"Was it taken away in Vazari by the hands of the Submen? Weren't they brought to Elgin by the hands of the subhumans as well?

"Why? The fact that he was transported to Elgin is believed to have known the identity of his boy. Were the subhumans aware of the boy's identity? If you knew, at what point did you know that? If you know your identity after you've grabbed it and transported the boy's body to Elgin, the subhumans will have no intention of separating themselves from the Duke of Cleaver's family, which is inconsistent with Manastella's story."

"... but, Warren, can you even imagine Lord Holbeck asking a close sub to look for that boy?

"Yeah. That's why I can't make a decision. It's just... we can't ignore the possibility that at least one of the subs or the other has some connection to Lord Holbeck."

Three people think into Sir Warren's words.

"From what I've seen, it doesn't look like Sir Holbeck has two hearts for the kingdom..."

"I don't agree with the rest of that. That is not like rebellion against the kingdom."

"Yeah. I'm not worried about that either. 'Cause if Sir is up to something, I don't think the discerning adventurers will miss it."

"So, what are you saying? Warren."

"It means that there is one more footprint that may connect Xu to Elgin. Yo (more)..."

Sir Warren cuts his words and looks around at the three of them.

"The guide may have carried the boy to Elgin, feeling light enough to deliver the stray to his parents."

Sir Warren's opinion, expressed at the end, was undoubtedly shooting through the jaws (blackmail).
