Autumn evening.

Leo, Tilt and Dark were walking in the red-dyed western sky, hooded robes along the coast facing south of the Kingdom of Fabrica.

Behind them heading west is a long, black shadow stretching.

Leo stopped and stared. Blue forehead is shaking in the sea breeze.

"Would you like me to stay in that village today?"

Illuminated by the sunset, I saw a small fishing village lined up with about sixty houses.

Then Tilt, the elf boy, looked up.

"Hey, it's the barn again today. It's gonna smell like fish."

"Wouldn't it be nice to smell milky? 100% chance."

Said the long dark as he wrote up his long dark hair.

Tilt increasingly looks up.

"Shut up, Leo! How long will you pretend to be the brave Kaika? We've done a lot in over fifty villages already, haven't we?

"Maybe it's time. Let's go back to Kaika Village once we get to Wangdu Industria."

"Right. And shall we stretch our feathers a little in the king's capital?"

"Hehe. Yeah, I think I'm gonna lose it."

Tilt rubbed his fingers under his nose and smiled.

Entering the small fishing village, the tide smelled tight.

The net, which I believe was used for fishing, was spread out and dried, as were the fish and squid that were caught.

Leo says in a slightly nervous voice.

"You just heard something."

Tilt's long ears move tingly.

"Sounds like we're fighting! - Over here!

Tilt ran out and Leo and Dirk followed.

There were many small boats docked at the fishing port with a round bay.

At one of those ships, a few men were gathered.

A man of good stature surrounds a young man about twenty years of age who wraps his beard around his head.

"Hey, come on, I'm sorry! What are you doing on your own?

"I will always pay my debts! So don't just take up the ship!

"I can't even get you to pay the interest, because this one's good for business!

A man grabs a young man's chest.

- But.

The arm was twisted up a lot.

"Tell me! What the fuck!

"Why don't you leave it in that corner?

Leo said as he grabbed the man's arm. But the righteous face is riddled and tight.

"Oh, my God, no!

"I'm just a traveler. From what I've seen, it looks like you borrowed money, but if you take the boat away from the fisherman, you won't be able to pay what you can."

"Ugh! - Stay."

Leo twisted his arm up even more before poking it out.

"What the heck - do it!

The men came beating me up.

Tilt disappears for a moment and stands directly next to the men.

"Heh, it's late, it's late!

Gah! Goh! and beat up the men.

Men rolling on the ground.

One of the men screams as he presses his cheek.

"Oh, my God! You must know that by doing this!

"When I entered the village, I was suddenly beaten up, so it was self-defense."

Dark looks at the fisherman's young man for a moment as he pushes his glasses up with his fingers.

"I have witnesses, too. If you go to court, you can win - 99% chance."

"Fuck, remember that!

The men ran away throwing up a throwaway line.

Leo speaks to the youth.

"Are you all right?

"Thank you, traveler"

"What the hell is wrong with you?

"It's..."

The young man laid down his lips in regret.

Tilt says in a bright voice.

"Let's find a house where you can stay more than that."

"Then come to our house, though it's a small house"

"I'm just glad it rained out."

"Okay, come here. Oh, my name is Kevin."

Leo and the others walked off guided by Kevin.

An old house on the outskirts of the village.

When Leo and the others entered, a girl about sixteen years old greeted them. Blonde girl. I'm letting it go, but my face was beautiful.

"Welcome home, brother!... who are these people?

"I'm a traveler. You saved my life. This is my sister Sarah."

"They're here again..."

Sarah has a dark face.

Kevin flashed his cheeks at Sarah's head.

"Don't worry. Because your brother will do something about it."

"Yeah...... but"

"Sa, you can't leave a traveler standing. Prepare your meal."

"Yes. Nothing, but come in"

Sarah said with a bright smile.

In an old house. There were few household tools.

Three Leos and their Kevin brothers and sisters are sitting opposite each other at a table for six.

Says Leo, who finished his meal.

"On top of letting me stay, until dinner. Thank you."

"No, thanks for your help. Never mind."

Leo sits back in the chair and says:

"What the hell happened?

Kevin looks dark and nags.

"I owed money and bought the ship back. But the interest is high..."

"The ship?

"Yes. A year ago, a demon attacked the harbor. Ships and nets are all gone."

"So, all the villages are in debt?

"Yes. Let the slaves out if they cannot return them," he said. My father has also been taken. The village was lonely because of it. "

"That's terrible"

"Even though they say fishing at sea is monstrous and dangerous... if you can't pay for it, they tell you to give me the boat or my sister"

"What does the village chief say to this situation?

When Leo visited, Kevin grabbed his fist for a long time.

"The web in place of the village chief was guru... I wouldn't have borrowed it if I knew that!

"I see. Why don't you appeal to the bureau?

"I sued. to the Secretary of State who heads the fishing village on the east coast of the Kingdom...... I've been rubbed."

"That's tough"

"Do we have to abandon our villages and jobs and go to the city anymore..."

Kevin looked dark and leaned down.

The Leos looked at each other and nodded one.

◇ ◇ ◇

Late at night.

When the fishing village fell asleep.

The mansion at the grid, which oversees the fishermen, had lights on it.

Men of rough temper are interested in booze and beating.

There was a black figure rushing through the garden of such a large mansion without making any footsteps.

Long ears are shaking. It was a tilt with a mask that hid only around my eyes.

Tilt glanced at the light leaking window as he circled behind the mansion.

Two men are drinking face-to-face in a luxuriously appointed room.

One is a middle-aged man with a scratch on his cheek. It was the mesh.

The other was a man in fine clothes in his thirties or so. I can't see my face because I'm wearing a hood.

They were discussing something in a whisper. But it sounded round to a well-eared elf.

The reticle says with a nasty grin.

"Eighteen people have been caught in debt this month."

"That's going well. Are the other two going to have eyes on each other?

"Absolutely. We're going to set fire to his house."

"I like that. You can rub the cause of the fire and turn it into a criminal. Permission to use is likely to be given. Without the inhabitants of the village, the whole area would be mine."

The reticle says as he strokes his bearded jaw.

"But are we in contact with other countries?

"No problem. Everything is as planned. Good luck as the next secretary."

"Exactly, sir - no, the headscarf. Thank you for your continued support."

The mesh took out the sachet and placed it in front of the headscarf man. The sound of jarring gold coins rings.

The headscarf man took it and put it in his nostalgia.

That's when I look at the window and throw a sharp voice.

"What the fuck!

The reticle, which stretched his face all the way, ran to the window and opened it as he pulled out a dagger that lowered to his waist.

"Nyah."

There's just one black cat there.

The grid looks back at the room and says:

It's a cat.

"Right. Was it your fault?"

The netting went back to the room again and started drinking with the headscarf man.

Tilt that was looking down from the roof.

"Export of slaves......? Besides, I've never heard of slaves like that."

Tilt's green hair, tilting his neck, drifted saggily in the night breeze.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, around that time.

About ten kilometers from the fishing village, there was a town with a commissioner.

The town is surrounded by walls and the outer gate is closed.

There was a lookout at the gate and on the wall. But he sleeps with disappointment poking his knee.

A large two-story mansion outside the town.

The Secretary's house. But the guard fell asleep here in the same way.

Maids and butlers are also sleeping in the hallway inside the mansion.

Leo and Dirk were in the secretary's study upstairs.

He was fishing for books and paperwork while wearing a mask that hid only around his eyes.

Dark says.

"I see. Wasn't Carlisle, the secretary here, a fallen nobleman, a Kyoshun nobleman"

The nobles of the Fabrica kingdom were mostly bureaucratic nobles with no territory. Because more than half of the national territory was deserted and many of the nobles fell because of the world tree.

In that context, the King, who plotted centralisation, confiscated the land and made him work as a bureaucrat instead of paying salaries to all nobles.

Some nobles were forced to obey. They take the land they have protected and make it a bureaucratic nobleman.

Those aristocrats must have been unhappy.

"It doesn't seem wrong that you're up to something"

"But there's nothing strange about the paperwork..."

"How about that? Dark, look at this. The foreign export permit for the slave has been denied, but it was the church of Vernus in the Sugar Islands that bought the slave. He said he'd let me work on the farm."

"Sugar Islands? That's weird. The church over there shouldn't have had any land."

Leo and the others had gone to the Sugar Islands once before with a convoy escort from Naga.

I was familiar with the inside of the island because I ran around the island and defeated the demons.

"- They're transporting you somewhere else."

"I guess. … is the carriage for ten people"

"Well, let's gather what's going to be evidence, and then we'll go home"

"Yes."

Dark pushed up his glasses hard and started working.

And then Leo looks in the drawer and stops his hand.

"This letter…"

- and.

I heard a clear sound.

Leo looking up all the time. Hurry up to the wall and gently look out the window.

"One, two, three... you're surrounded by about ten people."

Soldiers in armor are hiding in the shadows and on placement.

"Oh my God, have you found it"

"Dark, please."

"I know. Chanting Team Activated 4, 6, 13 - Coma Breeze" Kormawind "

Dark whispers a thick book of magic in one hand.

In the dim room, three small magic formations appeared to shed green and black light.

White misty things flowed from Dark's fingertips, and soldiers hiding like surrounding the mansion collapsed. I'm in deep sleep.

Dark looks at Leo and nods.

Leo quickly packed up a bunch of paperwork and left the room to the front door. The supple figure reminded me of a nocturnal animal.

Dark also followed with a spell, and the two disappeared into the darkness of the night.

◇ ◇ ◇

A small fishing village in the middle of the night.

Tilt left the mesh mansion and hid behind the storage shed. The halfway point between the mansion and Kevin's house. I could look out for both houses.

Tilt says, looking a little free, scratching my ass with me.

"Just a few of my men headed to the woods, and I don't know if I'll do anything today"

Still watched both houses with sharp eyes from the shadow of the storeroom.

Then.

"Yikes!"

Suddenly, there was a scream.

Next, Dwon! a fierce explosion.

"What the fuck!?

If Tilt turned in a hurry, a fire column was rising from Kevin's house.

Surprised people pop up, too, from the house around them.

"It's Kevin's house! Turn it off!" "No, no more help!

Fishermen and their wives just grate at the intensity of the fire.

But it was visible to Tilt's eyes.

A black man with wings on his back jumps up into the darkness of the night, distracted by the explosion.

On both sides he held Kevin and Sarah. We were both as loose as dead.

"Damn! There's no such thing as demons!

Tilt chased the flying black shadow in full sickness as he tongued with his youngest remaining face.

I think while running.

Did you mean the demon clan you keep when you said 'give me permission to use'! and.

At first, the Demons were flying so fast that they couldn't catch up.

But as we approached the woods, about half an hour's walk away, the Demons slowed down their speed and altitude and entered the landing posture.

Tilt rushes over and screams as he bounces his breath.

"Hey! Get the two of you off me!

"Hmm? - Bye!

As soon as I looked back with the Demons floating for about five meters, I spewed a flame out of my mouth.

They fly in as balls to swallow the tilt.

"Damn! - Flame Fist (Flame Fist)!

Ha! and with a sharp exhalation, Tilt rolled out his burning right fist.

Dogowong!

I bumped into a fireball and blew it off with light and smoke.

Tilt's green hair shakes violently.

The Demon Nation laughs niggly as he wings his black wings.

"Ho ho, a fire manipulating elf? It's bad, but it's a good pick up."

"Shut up! Give them back!

"There you go."

The Demons threw the girl Sarah unconstitutionally.

He falls toward Tilt. Blonde hair snorted like a meteor.

"Abou!

Tilt took a step forward. He spread his hand to hold Sarah.

Catch it firmly in front of your chest. Light and soft limbs.

But I don't see the demons who were supposed to be flying.

"What -?"

"Right here, you! - Hmm!

Dogoo! and a black fist engulfed Tilt's flank.

"Ha!

Tilt rolled while holding Sarah. The mask comes off.

The attack went in and I can't move. I can't even breathe.

The Demons threw the girl to block Tilt's sight.

"Let's get you to sleep - Sleep Sleep"

"Chiku... Shit... eh"

Though trying to get up, he grabbed the end of his face with a big hand.

Tilt stopped moving neatly as it was.

The demons glanced at the white fangs and smiled slightly.
