The arrowhead that has the prospect of uncovering a covert plot in the realm.
The atmosphere of the guards stationed in the city begins to panic, and major changes in the situation so far begin to occur.
One is the recovery of logistics.
Prices of various items on the market fell and stabilized.
According to what I heard, there were no longer any posts laid anywhere, including Kansas Avenue, and customs duties were no longer taken.
The merchants have received large quantities of goods ahead of time because they do not know when they will be taxed again.
That's probably why the price of the product is lower than usual.
The city's humans boiled greatly over falling prices, including Guys.
Only one, except me.
I see this as an achievement of purpose.
Until now, I needed a place of detention for some reason.
Of course, an increase in tax revenues would be one of the reasons, but if that's all there is to it, there is a way to be more certain and earn more money.
The fact that we took the form of tariffs on purpose should have had a more important role to play.
For example, yes.
To keep people out of our territory that are not convenient to us, and to keep them out of our territory.
It is also possible that people and objects that disappeared as soon as they entered the territory were being secretly directed somewhere.
Either way, that would mean that some sort of plan has already moved on to the final stage.
And the other change is the remarkable morale loss of the guards.
Although he appears to be rushing to work, negative expressions such as anxiety and fright appear on some applause.
That's not one or two either.
That was the case with most of the guards I saw in the city.
There are also beginning to be negative effects on casino sales.
More guards visit the store drunk, causing trouble and problems with other guests.
There is growing discontent, because of course there will be.
But it wasn't that simple.
That after capturing and interrogating the rumbled soldier, all the information we were able to pull out is uniformly frightened by the fear of dismissal.
Normally, it doesn't even seem to be rumoured as unfounded.
However, the provenance seems to be information from the definitive muscles of the unknown, and anxiety seems to have spilled over from the fact that the hierarchy is also quite truly receiving the upper layers.
Other than the previously exposed part like the tip of the iceberg, it is now rapidly about to rise to the surface.
It is none other than us who can stop it. [M]
Honestly, I just failed to solve this case, and I didn't think it would be inconvenient for me to enroll in school except far away.
I could say I was thinking about it as much as it would be a good chance.
If they ask me if I'm different now...... I'm not too sure.
But as I deal with Riesha and the city people, I think my consciousness has just changed a little bit.
I don't know what to say... yes, I'm Risha's...
◆ ◆ ◆
"Rosie, here's the goal. It's a carriage sound."
Interrupt your thoughts and open your eyes to Reesha's voice.
This was the main road leading from Romelia, the king's capital, to the city of Cassia, and we were in the bushes beside it.
"I'll leave the timing to Risha"
"Yes."
When his hand is squeezed all the time, he can see his fingertips shaking cold and slight.
I guess I'm nervous.
This is the situation, I can't help it.
"Reesha -"
Reesha turns this way when she speaks.
"From here on out, if anything fails, it's all on me. And then, no matter what happens, I'll protect you from harm."
That's my responsibility for involving you.
That's what I've been trying to do, and Risha pulls my cheek straight to the side.
"Geez, Yikes!
Reesha bends her mouth to a letter to like angry.
And now gently touch your cheeks with a short exhale.
That's all Risha wanted to say, that's all I know.
"... sorry"
Reesha smiled at me for a moment and immediately gave me a serious look.
Is it time?
"I'll go. After that, I'll leave you to it!
"Oh!"
I thought I laughed more and got my hands on it.
Through the bushes at a glance and jump out onto the paved road.
"Wow."
And it wasn't me or Reesha who raised her voice.
This is the man in the carriage who came right to us.
The carriage stops without bumping because the downhill was approaching and slowing down.
Of course behind the stopped carriage, the carriage that was running in front noticed something strange and stopped on the spot just down the hill.
A guard on perimeter alert immediately pulls out his sword and surrounds us.
"Who the hell are you people!
One of the guards raises his voice.
Not yet, a little more.
"I'm asking who it is!
It's killing me, or Leisha's still giving me an atmosphere that's about to pop out.
If the guards hit me here, everything would be water bubbles.
Just bear with me for a little while.
I can put my strength into a gripping hand without saying anything. [M]
"This -"
An approaching guard waves up his sword.
At that moment, I didn't miss the carriage door opening.
"Eh."
Pull Reesha's hand in order to cover her, but instead I come forward. [M]
The pattern of the sword that was swung down plundered my forehead and convinced me to hit it, I left it to the momentum and flew straight to the side.
"Rosie!"
Keep staring at Risha as she falls into her screaming voice.
Never move, so I can pray so.
"That's it, draw your sword!
But the air changes with my worries. [M]
I sneer secretly as I lift my head off the ground.
I feel something raw and warm flowing from my left eye to my cheek.
Did you cut your forehead?
"But!
"I said pull the sword. Aren't they kids yet?"
When the man, dressed in white fabric with gold decorations and clothes, gave some instructions, several maids came running up to me from the carriage that followed.
Same design as the maid clothes I saw in Anna's room that day.
"Dear Geolas, you seem to be bleeding. Let's do it."
"Treat him with healing magic, and the Giorlas guards will not see the folk grass as harming the child."
"Yes, sir."
As one of the maids put her hand close to my forehead, the warm yellow green light leaks and the pain draws.
Surprisingly, the wound was quickly blocked and, naturally, the bleeding had stopped.
"Now it's okay, it didn't seem as deep as it looked"
That said the maid stroked my head.
I usually almost pretend to be a kid here, but it's a little different today.
"Thank you. Our heartfelt gratitude for the generosity of Mr. Geolas."
Everyone on the spot, including Geolas of the day, was circling their eyes to greet the children without exception.
"This surprised me. You seem to have a wonderful education, and the future of the realm that has been handed down from generation to generation is bright..."
Geolas looks at my outfit and frowns.
Naturally, because I'm dressed like a borough cloth from that village.
"I don't even think you're a very educated kid. With all due respect, let me also ask, who the hell are you?
The inconsistency between what you do and what you look like, like a child growing up in a slum showing perfect courtesy, fuels tremendous discomfort.
But now you want to hear me. [M]
Of course, if you want to hear it, I'll let you hear it.
- I'm Rosie. I'm a fortune teller.
Go ahead, make sure you know me. I made a little smile.
