I returned to Territorial Castle in the afternoon.

I wanted to have a little meeting with the three civilians.

Meetings are scheduled in the courtyard.

A large office dedicated to me was created near the castle's conference room, next to which was also created a large office of the Reconstruction Special Task Force led by three civilians.

When I reported this morning, Uncle Anna told me to use the office for me, and that I would have everything I needed... but I haven't used it yet.

It's a bright courtyard during the day and I'm comfortable having meetings over tea.

The wind blew through me in moderation, and I feel good.

And I'm happy to watch and work with Lily and Chappie playing or arching in the courtyard.

Lily and Chappie, by the way, seemed a little angry that they couldn't take us to yesterday's midnight operation.

I mean... he seemed a lot obstinate.

Nia told me well and she fixed your mood.

I'm sleeping feeling good, but I just didn't want to force you to wake me up.

Not that I'm in the mood for the two of them, but the souvenir meaning of the voicemail gave me a "magical water bottle" one at a time that I got as a loot.

"Thank you. Now even if you're thirsty during training, you can drink right away."

"Thank you ~. Chappie, are you happy? I'd be happier if it was a juice bottle."

The two seemed happy for me.

I'm glad you're feeling completely better.

A water bottle with juice... might be surprising...

Infinite juice… or drink bar… or a drinkbar that you can carry…

Perhaps it would be great if I could change it to a kind......

If water can be made with a magic ceremony... I wonder if even juice can be made if I can figure out the composition...

Like a water bottle where you can always drink coke...... I want too much!

Lillii and Chappie were in the process of auditioning their swords by Mr. Agnes and Mr. Tamar.

Mr. Agnes and Mr. Tamar's bouncing efforts as bards seem to have come to an end this morning.

Looks like this afternoon made it time to teach the Lillies.

Sophia and Talia, sisters of the Pigseed family, are also learning together.

The two of them have been motivated since they got to the next level... they seem very motivated.

Looking forward to the future......

Like Sharia and her sisters at the Duke of Seyburn's house, I only have a feeling she's going to be a mecha strong warrant...

I mean... you're already stronger than a normal soldier... I'm sure...

The three civilians came, so I decided to start a meeting as soon as possible.

First, he asked what the biggest concern was right now.

"Yes. First of all… I am struggling with the selection of candidates for guild heads for the 'Artisan Guild' and the 'Agroforestry and Fisheries Guild'. I don't really have the right person."

The leader, Mr. Machiban, replied with regret.

"About that, I'm not sure, but you might find it. Laurel, who has been appointed head of the" Hunting Guild "guild, has been contacted because she has offered to know the right person."

"Was I? Then let's hope for that one. Of course, we will continue to make selections here."

Mr. Machiban had a slightly relieved look on his face.

"Is there anything else at issue?

That's what I asked.

In the meantime, I wanted to pick up all my concerns.

It's time to head to "The City of Nanne".

"Yes, I am talking about the children who will be protected in the orphanage, but I am currently checking with unaccompanied children to arrange for their protection. In the process...... I have a parent, but a child has been identified who lives under a terrible parent and is treated like a slave. Some parents sell their children to slave traders again..."

Fleur, a female civilian, raised the report with a sad look.

I was shocked... to sell my own child to a slave trader... I can't believe it...

"If you are selling your own children or grandchildren to a slave trader, there are two possible reasons. One is if you really don't care about your kids and sell them well. The other is if you want to sell it for your kids. If the latter is about to starve to death from hunger or something like that, they drink and sell tears to the possibility that they can live even if they become slaves. It's not something I've been praised for, but we can't generally trump the slave trade as evil. It's just that this is a common story, and that shouldn't have happened in this Pigseed territory. He told me to do everything I could to prevent that from happening, and he also instructed me to distribute stockpiles in the event of famine. So we can say that selling children in this territory is likely to be selling them for selfish reasons."

As Mr. Machiban dropped his gaze, he got a complicated look.

I see... I mean a simple sense of justice... I was thinking of cutting it all off from my child-favorite emotions...

If you get in real trouble and the kid could die...

If it's possible that you could live more by selling it as a slave...

Can it be an option for parents who love their children if they are placed in such extreme conditions...

That much... I hadn't thought about it.

You mean things are just from one side, some truths you don't know......

Well, it's the trader's job to make sure that doesn't happen, and in that sense, the previous Pigseed Border Uncle still seemed like a great trader.

If so, it is probably the parents who are selling their children now who are terrible parents.

Even in the world I was in, the case of a parent abusing a child was in the news.

This harsh otherworldly would mean that some parents are even worse.

I'm full of shit.

If you're an unaccompanied child, it's rather easy to talk about because you just have to protect them.

It may be difficult to protect children with parents or children being taken away by relatives......

I'm going to take it away...

But if you have an abusive child, I want to help...

Some children may be temporarily saddened by being separated from their parents, even if they are abused......

Ha... a lot to think about... I feel like I'm getting more and more hooked on dots...

I'm going to know enough that I can't save everything.

But... at least the children in front of me... show up around me... I want to help as much as the children in need of protection...

The bright mood just now made me feel more and more at once......

Such a reality...... I honestly didn't want to hear it......

But you can't do anything more than ask.

Now what...

As for children who are abused under their parents and relatives...... something has to be figured out how to protect them...... can't they just move quickly with emotions......

Let's start... with the children who have been sold as slaves...

"By the way, how many slave traders were originally in this territorial capital?

That's what I asked again.

"Yes. There were several slave traders. It's just a demonic raid... and I think we're the only two survivors."

That's what Mr. Machiban answered to me.

Mr. Machiban continued to look sorry as he peered into my face in silence.

"As a matter of fact, one is… a de facto merchant of the realm. During the demonic raids, those who were among the officials in this realm were killed when they were able to grant slave prints to the criminal slaves. Now it's inevitable... that slave traders are asked to grant slave prints."

Really......

Wait...

"Can the merchant erase the slave print?

That's what I asked because I want to erase Chappie's slave prints for you.

"No, unfortunately I don't think I can. It is not possible for a slave trader to erase a once carved slave print."

Again... I've heard that before...

I guess I still have to go to Wangdu or something......

Well, I don't need to rush...

"Really? Too bad. By the way, can't you blame anything for the trafficking of children?

I ran into a simple question.

"Yeah, it doesn't mean that even a child can be blamed immediately if he kidnapped or if he was a slave who did not commit a crime and enslaved it but legitimately trafficked it"

Mr. Machiban answered, feeling sorry for me again.

"Are the two slave traders, who are now surviving, treating their children?

"I don't think the slave traders of those who are de facto merchants deal with little children. Just another slave trader is a man with the idea that anything is fine if it's money, so I'll treat my little one as well"

Fleur, a female civilian, told me to throw up.

Mr. Fleur seems quite angry, too.

I mean... if I heard that... I don't feel like I'm having a meeting or something anymore...

"Where is the slave trader?

All three of you are blind for a moment to my strong tone of speech.

Looks like I felt something unusual...

"Master Grimm, please wait. The slave trade is also not prohibited in the country. You can't catch them right away. There is nothing more to save the children than to buy them as slaves..."

Mr. Machiban spreads his hand and desperately tries to stop me.

Did you even think I'd kill you...

Nevertheless...

You with me when I was chappie...

Along with that time, I let the slave traders make money...

If you can solve it with money... if you can save your child right away...

It will have to be protected once and for all in that way.

It's just like a bad slave trader who tore people apart in "The City of Magne," if you let him lax, there's a good chance that there will be victims in the future.

Now I need to think of something to take...

(Nabby, is there a good way?)

Nabby in trouble, please, I asked Nabby in the "Navigator" command of the "Ask Yourself" skill.

(Of course there is. If you're a bad slave trader, you must be doing something to get involved in crime. Protect your children as soon as possible with money first, then investigate the slave trader and grab evidence of the crime and arrest them, you won't be able to continue the slave trader in the future)

Oh! Wonderful! That's right, Navy!

I haven't seen that strategist since...... it's great!

Navy's nice operation cleared up the Moya on my mind.

Thanks, Navy! I love Navy!

I accidentally hugged Navy in the image...

Shit...... I'm so excited about the joy that I flaunted it again......

(I've told you many times, it's sexual harassment!)

I'm still pissed off by Navy...... Tohoho.

Anyway, let's go with Navy's operation.

I'm sure if you tap it, one or two of the dust will come out.

All you have to do is get proof of evil!

I explained the operation to the three civilians and immediately decided to head to protect the children.

The meeting will be interrupted, but no one complained.

On the contrary, the leader, Mr. Makiban, held his hand, and the male civilian, Mr. Vegetyle, wept, and the female civilian, Mr. Fleur, stared at him inadvertently, saying something he did not know "I will follow you for the rest of my life".

"I'll follow you for the rest of my life too," said Vegetyle, "I'm already following you" even more unclear...

Well, I don't know...

Now, do you want to get in to the slave trader......
