"Maidaman, there are signs of people coming from the stables, so I'll take a look."Please wait here. ”
I headed for the stables.
Nia, Lily, and Chappie are coming with us.
"Damn... I was surprised at the monster scene"
I'm so glad I didn't come down to this mansion.
"Yeah, absolutely."
"You were lucky."
"I'm still in the middle of some confusion. Let's get out of here and steal it! It's a great opportunity.”
The hearing enhanced by [Hearing Enhancement] skill picked up such a conversation.
It seems that there is also a basement in this stable, and it can be heard from the basement.
No one lives in the Mansion, so they must be settling in on their own.
And from the conversation, I don't think they're decent.
... I think it's a bandit.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"
When I approached them secretly, they turned around at once.
"No, no, no, no.
"Who are you!?"
"What are you!?"
"Shit, I've been seen."
Take it out!
The bandits held their swords and took up combat positions.
Well, it was a natural reaction.
"It's the owl mouse!"Just be quiet and obsessive! "
"You're a burnt-out bandit ~, can I help you ~"
Lily and Chappie said that and ran around the basement to stun the five bandits.
It's always a blink of an eye.
Eight-year-old twisted little villains... they're spooky.
That's fine... but what's an "owl mouse"...?
... a bag of rats. "
What is "fire bandit reform"!?
Such a position... I don't think there is one in this world!
I mean... who taught you this...?
I wonder if it's from Kin-chan's [Random Channel] in [Rising Carp]...?
And the influence of Nia-san?
Or maybe... it looks like a four-year-old with a thirty-five-year-old Hanasirri inside...?
Well, I don't care about that.
To my surprise, there was a door in the back of the underground warehouse, and when I opened it, there was an underground passage.
Going forward... it was connected to the basement of the main building.
Probably... a passage for emergency evacuation if something happens.
It looks like the bandits found it and broke into the Mansion.
Once inside the main building, there were ten more bandits.
Looks like he lived here.
Of course, they were also in custody.
It was quite razed inside.
It's a little accident property.
I wrapped them all around the rope and wrapped them around the pillars of the stables.
I went back to Maidaman, who was waiting near the entrance, and reported the incident as soon as possible.
"I didn't expect to find myself in such a situation..."I'm sorry I introduced you to this strange property..... "
"No, it's not about Maedam apologizing.It looks like you've been stealthily breaking in without anyone knowing.After I moved in, there would be very little gold in it, but it felt a lot dirty. ”
"Ok, I will contact the Commercial Guild."The bandits will also be pushed out of the "Commercial Guild" by the guards.It's their managed property, so they'll be able to maintain their decency. ”
That's right. Thank you very much.
"Ah!... maybe..."
Mr. Maidaman remembered something.
What's the matter?
"Maybe the bandits we caught... they've been making noise in this labyrinth city lately."Indeed... not only are we stealing money... but we are also committing human trafficking.Especially when you're talking about abducting an orphan and selling it to a slave trader..... "
Oops... you can't just ignore it.
If you're abducting a child.....
"If so, we have to help the children."Let's interrogate him a little bit more. ”
We all moved to the stables.
I can't forgive you for kidnapping a child and selling it to a slaver... if they were doing that!
... that's how it ended up being... they confessed.
Of course, as usual, I'm not using physical force... I'm going to...
I just... stepped on my little toes.
I heard a gushing sound... but I also applied recovery medicine later, so it shouldn't be a problem...
It's never torture... it's no comment anymore!
... Madam Maedaman's prediction came true.
They were bandits who were making trouble in the Labyrinth City.
It was also true that they were abducting children and selling them to slavers.
The slave trader and the guru were together, and as soon as they abducted them, they took them to the slave trader's shop.
There's a secret basement where they're gathering.
Once the number of people is assembled, it is a procedure to go to another country to sell, but recently there has been a delay in securing the children, and there will still be a large number of them in the mall.
Rumors of human trafficking have spread, and homeless orphans have gone missing somewhere.
I was able to hear another interesting story from the bandits.
They said they were just the end of the dark organization that ruled the Labyrinth City.
If you slip your mouth like that, you will naturally pursue it even deeper.
And it became clear that they were not randomly stealing, but were generally following orders.
The Chamber of Commerce that buys the stolen goods wants to know about the target.
Most of the targets seem to be Nakaji.
The bandits testified that some of the Midwest Guards were supposed to be working with the organization.
However, this was the expectation of the bandits, and even after checking with the slavers and the shop buying the stolen goods, they didn't answer clearly.
The bandits are just the end of the line.
Naturally, I was not in a position to learn about the reality of the "Dark Organization", but it happened that I overheard a slave trader's conversation and learned that some aristocrats were heavily involved.
That aristocrat... was an aristocrat I knew.
That's... Viscount Crater.
I've never met Viscount Crater, but his son was an asshole imprisoning that slime that yelled at me earlier.
The Moonriver Count of the Taichung said it was a problem with both parents, but it wasn't a problem, it was a criminal.
The dark organization is involved with nobles, slave traders, several chambers of commerce, and several groups of adventurers, and it also smuggles.
The adventurer pays the [Demon Core Core], which is supposed to be paid to the [Adventurer's Guild], to the chamber of commerce in the group, and smuggles it to make money.
From what I've heard so far... perhaps it's the Labyrinth City Commercial Mayor's Crater Viscount at the top of this criminal group.
I must be fattening my stomach.
I didn't want to get involved as much as I could... but I can't allow you to kidnap my children and sell them out.
It's been a long time since the [Dark Cleaner] arrived.
