In the afternoon, the Duke of Euphemia came to see how the church was doing.

"This is a bigger crowd than I expected again... You had a hard time getting to church."

The Duke of Euphemia said to be shuddered as he put his arms together.

"Yes, I think if Master Euphemia hadn't anticipated in advance and obtained vacant land around, it would have been harder"

That is what I said, and once again I thank the Duke of Euphemia for his prior arrangements.

"Right...... It's just... I hope we can do a little more..."

"Yes. I thought so, too. I'll see if there's anything more I can do."

"By the way, has Teresa been blessing you? I'm worried about her body..."

"Yes, if I don't say anything, I will do it all the time, so I have the orphanage kids put on and make sure they put in regular rest"

"Right. That's good. Yes, let me introduce you. We talked a little yesterday about the new head of the guard."

When the Duke of Euphemia said so and urged, a cute feeling woman, featuring blushing with dark hair short, moved forward.

Very slender, I don't think of him as an awesome guard with a big, sensitive arm.

"I have a new assignment. My name is Zenita-Hage. Best regards,"

She greeted her cheerfully...... or her voice is so big.

She is the eldest daughter and noble courtier of the House of Associate Baron Hage, but I was told yesterday that she was the one who pushed off the opposition of her parents and enlisted in the Guard and worked hard from the First Guard to get up to the head of the "Special Investigation Squad" squad.

When I heard that story, I imagined a female detective who could... but the way I saw it, it felt like a bright club girl.

However, they always seem to have murders and burglaries solved with her arms, so I'm pretty sure she's a smart-ass big guy.

The Duke of Euphemia had described the situation in this city, which was enlivened by the emergence of the Joint Special Martial Arts Congress for the Registration of Martial Officials of the Trinity and the Witch of the Light Pillar, which would take place near the city, ordering the rebuilding and effective placement of the guards.

"Dear Euphemia, as you instructed, we will put in place a system of guards as soon as possible. However, apart from that, I have one concern. Did you know that a burglar Lapin has recently appeared on our territory? My prediction is that the next thing the thief will be after is this' city of Sesay '. On this occasion, we will definitely also capture the Thief Lapin!

Suddenly, Mr. Zenita told me about the burglar Lapin.

That's just the sensitive big guy, and even though he was in the territorial capital, he figured out the moves of the thief Lapin, and even expected him to show up in this city.

Great insight and enthusiasm for arrest... I hope so...

That thief Lapin has already become one of the Dukes of Euphemia......

The people around us have no choice but to consolidate in Mr. Zenita's resolute proclamation... the air of the place has frozen for a long time.

Very subtle air...... The Duke of Euphemia is also grinning bitterly.

Well...... how do you communicate this fact......

Everyone but Mr. Zenita on this occasion is staring at the Duke of Euphemia......

The Duke of Euphemia laughs even more bitterly......

"That thief Lapin... what do you think?

"What?... is, yes... The subjects on which Thief Lapin works for theft are the Bad Chamber of Commerce and problematic aristocrats. Sometimes you steal evidence of a crime and deliver it to the Guard. I also know stories about saving by stealing poor children again. But it's a bandit! You can't overlook it, even though the deed is temporarily at the service of people! If you want to be useful to people, I personally don't like that people are entertaining you by doing thieves and other things that you need to be a guard!

Ms Zenita, confused at first by the question of the Duke of Euphemia, seemed to have perceived its intentions and uttered words to continue to stand. I feel a little backwards.

Thank you. I hear you have some thoughts about the thief Lapin.

I know the act of thief Lapin is helping people, but it still has to be controlled... something seems to have some kind of frustration.

"Ho... Let me get this straight. Sounds like you. That serious way of thinking, too, can't go wrong. It's just not this world... because some villains can't be exorcised on their own..."

That's what the Duke of Euphemia said with a bitter laugh, but Mr. Zenita looks uncomfortable.

I didn't expect you to put grievances on your face against the Duke... is this guy awesome in his chest... is he someone who doesn't lie...

"Dear Euphemia, may I ask, do you forgive the crime? I'm not convinced!

He complains head-on to the Duke of Euphemia.

Zenita seems like an amazing, serious person... or an irreconcilable bloodthirsty...

This is... this is going to be a pain in the ass...

As far as the reaction so far goes, it seems better to keep a secret from Zenita about Lucene...

"I didn't... I didn't know about Thief Lapin, but listen to me... I became a fan. Originally, I was a fan of the thief Iljime who made the King's Capital noise."

Oh my... The Duke of Euphemia has said a hell of a lot to Zenita, who is at the forefront of the criminal investigation.

I think this is the one I shouldn't say......

"Dear Euphemia!

Mr. Zenita turned his face bright red and vandalized his voice.

I don't know... I know how you feel... but I don't think that attitude would be good for the Duke at anything...

"Hahahahahahahaha! Well, you're so angry. I'm sorry, against you for catching sinners so hard. But, you know, I'm not just going to say beautiful things. It is also true that someone has been helped by what the thief Lapin is doing. And having to be helped by thief Lapin means that my territorial government is not good. I have to reflect a lot, and in a way, I have to thank the thief Lapin for making it up to me. Perhaps it's unforgivable for you, the guard who's catching the sinner. What did you become a guard for? Which one is it to protect people, or to keep the law?

"That's because... of course I want to protect people! Just don't follow the law, how can people!?

There are protests in Mr. Zenita's eyes.

"Then I ask... what would you do if you kept the law, when people couldn't?

"Oh, that's..."

Mr. Zenita was stuck in words.

She might have had that kind of grip, too.

"You're right, the law must be obeyed. I can't keep order without abiding by the law. But should we just follow the law? Sometimes you have to help people beyond the law, even if it's not the law, if you have to abide by it as a person. I wanted you to think about it. I'll trust you and leave you to the head of the guard. Beyond the law, I want people to do all they can."

The Duke of Euphemia said gently to teach the child.

"Yes. What you're trying to say is somehow... OK. I remember the liver."

"Right. That's good. Then I'll introduce you again. This Lucene you just introduced herself to is the thief Lapin you're trying to catch. Most of the time, it's a secret that moves with my life."

Oh, my God! The Duke of Euphemia has taught me so much.

Can Zenita, who has just managed to swallow the story of the Duke of Euphemia, stand this story......

Suddenly, the person in front of you is said to be a thief Lapin, and now it is said to be a secret of the Duke of Euphemia's direct report, but he would normally not be able to sort out his feelings or anything else.

Ms. Zenita tried to breathe heavily and utter the words, but before she could say it, the Duke of Euphemia did the trick of stopping her with his hands.

And I explained once and for all how I had companioned Mr. Lucene and how she had behaved so far.

He named himself a thief and also taught me that he tried to atone for his sins.

"What do you say? Do you still want to catch the thief Lapin? If you really want to catch me, if you think that's justice, don't catch me, lord. I'll be honest with you."

The Duke of Euphemia, at the end of his explanation, once again confirmed the will of Mr Zenita.

I tell you to catch yourself too...... I feel a little sloppy...... well it would be to represent the seriousness.

"No, the Thief Lapin seems to have disappeared...... Some other bad guys should be captured, so forget about Thief Lapin and do what I have to do......"

Mr. Zenita said quietly as if to calm his mind.

"Right. That would have been nice. Are there any other bad guys after you?

"Yes. Actually...... a new and sharp chamber of commerce called the 'Matw Chamber of Commerce' could be involved in a variety of crimes. Even 'City of Yoburn' and 'City of Nassey' are targets for thieves Lapin, and this city was probably supposed to be targets, too?

Mr. Zenita stared at Mr. Lucene, saying so.

That's the sensitive big guy...... he was also turning on a hit about the "Mattow Chamber of Commerce" thing.

"That's just great. Actually, Lucene told me about it. They're investigating the city's Matou Chamber of Commerce. From now on, you two should put together and investigate The Matou Chamber of Commerce. Hahaha, you're going to have an interesting SWAT team!

When the Duke of Euphemia said so, he laughed lavishly.

This guy... I'm already enjoying it.

If I were you, I'd be scared and I'd never let you put together a combo...

And those two, they look awkward.

Will it be okay......

But the Duke of Euphemia didn't stop worrying about the two of them and urged them to reply with silent pressure.

"Or maybe. Dear Euphemia,"

"We have received your instructions…"

Mr Lucene and Mr Zenita replied in a subtle way.

Looks like a special agent combination of thieves and agility decathlons has been created.
