I Became a Regulatory Official for the Poaching of Monsters, but the Rescued Monsters are trying to Eat Me

One afternoon.

Taketo was sitting on a sofa in the office at the beginning of the royal palace reading the Magic Beast Atlas.

It goes without saying that Taketo's work as a magic beast poaching control officer is useful, but dozens of different kinds of magic beasts are described with colored pictures, so it is also interesting to simply read them.

"Hee... there's a plant called a beast."

Not much compared to animal beasts, but there were some plant-based beasts listed later in the atlas. It seems that there are some kind of beast that is not living.

"It's not obvious? Even plants have movements and will, right?

Naturally, Brigitta sits on the sofa across the street and gracefully carries a teacup to her mouth.

"No... there were no moving plants in the world I lived in..."

I thought there was a big difference between plants and animals, whether or not they can move on their own will, but it seems that some plants move in this world. Then I wonder where to draw the line between plants and animals.

Incidentally, Brigitta borrowed that tea cup from Marie, the Grantor. Marie, the wife of the Knight Commander, had one of these luxurious ceramics that she lent generously.

The cup that Brigitta used before was accidentally broken during the cleaning, but I still can't apologize for that. I wish I had apologized immediately and been petrified or anything, but the more time passed, the harder it became to say.

(... at least. I wonder if you'll forget...)

I expect that these days.

"Speaking of which, where did Walawa's teacup go? I've been using it for years and it was my favorite."

What a tightness, the tacket was comfortable with the heart shrinking.

(Now, I have to tell you... I have to tell you. Er...)

"Ah, you know... Brigitta, I'm talking about that cup..."

When I cut myself out of fear, Brigitta raised her face and turned to us. However, his gaze immediately passes through the tacket and turns to the window beyond.

"... I don't know."

Huh?

Taketo follows Brigitta's gaze and looks back. The windows, which were open for ventilation, deliberately sounded like the voices of several people.

I usually only hear the sound of birds and horses from the stables in the backyard. Strangely, the tacket stood up and came to the window.

The office is on the second floor of the royal palace. Faced in the backyard, looking out the window, you can see the guards' stables downstairs. There were many guards in and out of the stables at any given time. It was as if they were pulling a rope and putting their horse out of the stables. An impatient voice is flying around.

"It seems like I'm in a hurry....."

"What's wrong?

Brigitta's coming next door. She was too short to reach the window frame, so she put her hand to the side and hugged her and looked down.

"Oh, did something happen?"

While we were looking under the window, we heard footsteps approaching. The footsteps that trample the office floorboards will tell you who it is right away.

"Sir...."

The short red-haired Captain Valvara snapped his arms as he approached the side of the tacket. Once upon a time, the Wizard used to scream at the eyebrows with terrible hook marks.

"Not only the guards, but also the Knights. Me and Karon are waiting."

The commander and Karon were originally part of the Knights. He now also serves as the office of the Magic Beast Poaching Control Officer, an agency directly under the King, but he has not been relieved of the Knights. My job seems to be a higher priority because I am always in this office, but I have to be on the front line if something happens. That's why they usually wear military uniforms.

"Did something happen?

The bait asks as he lowers the bridge he was holding.

The commander put his hand on his chin for a while, and then he started talking, saying, "Well, I don't mind if I tell you guys."

There was a thief in the Royal Library.

When I heard that, I didn't think it was serious enough to send the Knights, and the tacket leaned its head.

"The Royal Library...?

"Oh, it's a big stone building in the heart of King's Landing. Of course, this country is a library of unparalleled magnitude in the world."

"Did something national treasure get stolen?

I don't think Brigitta understands the seriousness of this either. Ask strangely.

"Hmm... Actually, we don't know anything about it either. However, I know that the thief was in the library basement in the forbidden library."

As for the forbidden library, it seems that the forbidden books are kept strictly. What a blurry thought, a cold wind blew through the window into the room and stroked my neck.

Looking outside, a thick black cloud was covered in the blue sky, where the warm sun had been pouring until just now. Suddenly the sun goes down and the area becomes dim. Maybe it'll rain a little.

When the tacket trembled with a chilly feeling, the window fitted in the glass was patently closed.

Brigitta's conversation with the commander is still ongoing.

"A forbidden library is a place where only a limited number of people can access books and old books of historical value are stored."

"Oh, apparently, some of their holdings have been stolen. The entrance to the forbidden library was packed with library guards and Knights' Watch. The vividness of the modus operandi makes it impossible for an amateur to commit a crime. Perhaps the upper echelons speculate that it was some sort of organization."

It seems to be an organized criminal group, or worst of all, a spy for a neighboring country. So it looks like a plan to seal off and lock up the perimeter of King's Landing with guards and knights before the thief escapes. Even so, King's City is not surrounded by walls or the like. It's going to be hard to catch the killer.

"So, what was stolen? It's a forbidden library, but is it books or something?

The commander nodded to the question of the tacket.

"Looks like it. It appears that a number of ancient books were stolen, along with books containing papers on their related research. It seemed to be a precious thing with only one thing in it. Anyway, it's important to catch the killer, but the security situation in the lockup will need to be more rigid."

If it's an ancient book, it's still a national treasure. I wonder how much it would take, considering that the tacket didn't have any shards of urgency, I made a loud bang and the office door opened. The young man with the golden black leopard head came in. It was Karon.

"Sir! You came here, didn't you? I'm glad we got the bait and the bridge. You can leave right away with this. Oh, where's Chante?

"If you're Chante, take a walk in Ulu. I think he'll be back soon."

When Taketo answers, Karon breathes heavily on his shoulders. It's unusual to have a calm calm calm calm, and it seems to have run this far.

Really? I'm glad... "

"I'm coming out. Have we been ordered to look for that forbidden storeroom?

In the words of the commander, Karon shook his head to the side.

"No, it's another matter. Mandragola was discovered in the residence of a large merchant in King's Landing. Looks like you heard that scream, and there's been a lot of damage to the Mansion's owners, families, and servants. The Mansion is currently sealed off, but we have orders to capture Mandragora."

At that time, I heard falling apart from the outside. It seems that it has finally rained. The sky rang. It also seemed that the thunderbolts heard from afar implied the more disturbing nature of the situation.
