The bandits came to us.

By the lake, close to the road.

Even by the side, there is a gloomy forest adjacent, and there is a slip in it, so it is not visible from the outside.

When I get closer... there are a dozen or so.

Almost everyone seems to be drinking at the table outside.

After all, it was a bandit of a size.

Not so big, but a medium-sized band of bandits.

I approached with my figure and signs gone, and I used my [Condition Abnormality] skill to give [Paralysis].

They have no idea what's going on, but they're paralyzed and conscious, so they should be aware of my presence.

... after all, there were twenty-four of them.

The bandits I caught just now were tied up to make it easier for me to identify them as bandits.

However, they took off all their light armor and other equipment and put them in a state of clothes only.

There were a lot of people almost in their underwear.

You should have known I was one of them, so I peeled myself off.

That said, I'm not forcing you to take off your clothes.

In the process, we confiscated the weapons, decorations, coins, etc., that we wore.

There were three horse-drawn carriages, so I packed them in two of them.

The other wagon was loaded with a mini wagon that was in Szczecin.

That's an example of a tank.

I had already delivered it and it was actually in use.

If we add this to the evidence, that congregation's sins will be heavier.

There were three regular carriages that he would have taken from the traveller.

I confiscated it.

There are two buildings here, like the main house, and two buildings that are thought to be warehouses.

Confirm each of them.

The two main houses, where the bandits live, are dirty, to be clear.

There are some weapons, but nothing of high value.

For the time being, I confiscated everything.

The next time I went to check the warehouse... there was someone, to my surprise.

Obviously, they were caught by bandits.

I got injured and I was tied up with a rope.

I gave you a cure right away.

There were eight of them, but more than half of them were seriously injured.

However, everyone recovered as soon as the medicine worked.

"Thank you. Are you...?"

An elderly gentleman with grey hair raised his voice.

He is dressed as a butler.

"I'm a dark cleaner." I came to clean up the villains. Were you captured? "

While changing her tone of voice, she also tried to make her tone look great.

It feels like you're acting, it's kind of fun!

"No, it's imprudent..."

The "hidden wardrobe" function is turned off and the figure is visible, but I don't know my face because I wear a mask.

And you don't even know what I'm wearing, because I'm closing my robe and I'm wearing a hood.

"We were attacked and captured by bandits who were injured and unable to move..."

Um, somehow... it feels like a story?

“Where did you come from and for what?”

"Yes, we are the owners of 'Hestia Kingdom'. I have something to deliver to the Labyrinth City and I have traveled.”

It seems that they are deliberately avoiding the obvious, but they must be from the convoy that came to deliver supplies to the Third Princess Farnese!

Good, looks like he was safe.

You didn't get killed very well, did you?

“Yes, they were trying to sell us as slaves. I guess I was going to stop at a minimal allowance and force you to accept the slavery contract."

I see... I'm glad I found it soon.

"I see. Then I will have saved you."

Ask me to repay you.

Take the bandits here to the Labyrinth City.

Push them out to the guards.

I'll write a message to the guards, give it to me too! ”

"Yes, I understand." I'll never forget your help. ”

Everyone bowed their heads to me.

Everyone seems pretty hungry, so I'd like to share some food... but I can't give you any special food that would connect me to the Grimm.

I'm only a "Dark Cleaner".

So instead of food, I gave him the [Stamina Restoration Potion] and gave him a drink.

I'm going to look at another warehouse, so if you have food, you can eat it.

The warehouse you are in now contains items that you think were robbed by travelers, as well as a stockpile of weapons.

Is that what you stole from the bandits?

"Yes, when we were captured, we lost most of our baggage because of the fighting with the monsters."

But there's quite a bit of it here.

Looks like we've picked up the package we lost when we fled the monster.

I think they tracked the cargo and found us... "

"Well, then, you'll have to retrieve the load." I'll take the rest. "

"Oh, thank you." I had a package I wanted to deliver. Thank you so much. ”

Everyone bowed their heads to me again.

I just took out two of the regular carriages I recovered from the wave storage.

And I decided to let these people use it.

You'll be able to carry enough luggage.

There will be three wagons carrying bandits and tanks, and two regular wagons for these people, for a total of five carriages, but the horses will be fine.

There are just ten horses.

Two heads at a time, you can pull them off.

The horses were my people, of course.

I was told to go to the north gate just in case.

I hope I can leave it to these people, because they are here this time.

The same goes for the horses that were sent to the north gate earlier, but when they were transported to the north gate, they told them to escape at the right time.

It's easy for horses who have become members of my "bond" and can use "shared skills" to escape from the state of being connected to a carriage.

I told you to go back to the shore of this lake in secret.

I'm going to come back at the right time and take you home with a transfer.

As expected, if you bring these number of horses back to the "Treehouse Clan", you may suspect the connection between me and the "Dark Cleaner".

This time, the horses decided to have them play an active role in the "City of Seine", which is going to be rebuilt in the territory of the Pigside Margins.

The people protected by the Resistance will also be moved to the "City of Seine", but if the animals protected in the "Duchy of Artemina" are not included in the clan, I intend to have them live in the "City of Seine".

There are no other animals here.

Perhaps there is not much need because fish can be caught and wildlife can be hunted.

Or maybe I'm not here all the time.

It's possible that you're hiding from the bandits and entering or leaving the Labyrinth City normally.

In the other warehouse there were three boxes of pears packed in wooden boxes.

I decided to feed it to the captives.

And there were five wine barrels, and two ale barrels.

There are also two barrels thought to be brandy.

There is no rice or flour.

I don't think he had a proper meal.

There was a locked box in the back of the warehouse, so I broke the key and checked the contents.

It contained gold coins.

There are about three hundred sheets, so there are about three million gols.

You might have been lucky.

Bandits often don't have a lot of money.

I think I'm going to use it flashily.

Of course, I will give you this coin as a loot.

Yes! I will share it with the people of this [Hestia Kingdom].

I'm sure you've lost road silver, too.

"I'll do this for you." Use it however you like. "

I went back to the convoy loading the load on the wagon and gave it half.

"[Dark Cleaner], is that okay...?" Why are you doing this to us? "

"There's no reason. I met her by chance, and she happened to have money, so I shared it with her." Don't worry about it. "

While I was at it, I said it was a little cool.

Again, everyone bowed their heads to me.

I sent a convoy out after packing.

I'm gonna pull it up, too, but this is a good place to turn into a bandit.

I don't want to be reused... what should I do?

Well, I can't think of a good plan right away, so I'll come and check on you regularly.

You can also fish in the lake.

It feels like a secret vacation home, maybe.

If, at that time, a new bandit settles, you can hunt him down.

It's funny when it functions like "bandit hoi"...
