Morning.

As the store was preparing to open, the doors opened violently and the door bells screamed loudly.

"Re, red!"

"Red!"

Nao, the mother of the carpenters Gonz and Tanta, jumped in.

The two half-elfs are shivering with pale blue faces.

"Gonz and Nao, what happened?"

"Yeah, Tanta was taken to the guard!"

"What?"

Tanta! ?

"What can I do ... my guy went to the guard station, but I couldn't see him."

Nao, who usually has a strong heart, is frustrated by his son being taken away.

"Please calm down first, why was Tanta taken away?"

Summarizing what he heard while asking questions to two people who were upset, they did not see where Tanta was taken in the first place.

From early in the morning, Tanta had helped weed the garden of the half-dwarf half-human, the half-dwarf Alma's house.

Around 7 o'clock, guards stormed Alma's house. He pushed away Alma, who was surprised, and tied and took Tanta, who was in the garden without any explanation, without giving any reason.

That's what Gonz, Nao and Mido have heard from Alma.

"Did you not explain why?"

"Yes, Alma's grandmother said ..."

"... I want to hear from Alma Granny too."

"But, if something is done in the meantime ..."

Terrifying tools that guards use in interrogations are rumored to be in every town, not just Zoltan.

Is there a famous lightning stick called “Conversion Wand” created by Thunder Dragon?

"But if you help, it wouldn't be possible to slash into the guards' camp. If you were helped, you would be a criminal. It's best to judge if it's good. ''

"However……"

"And, the Zoltan guards aren't keen enough to hurt the children they catch immediately."

"That's right! They're just patrol sabo of the night watchman!"

You are tortured in the first place because you want to confess something.

I don't think there's anything hidden in Tanta, and there's no need for torture.

Still I have to do something early!

At that time, there was footsteps behind.

"What does it mean that Tanta was taken to the guard?"

"... Al"

The tone was mild, but the boy's gaze was very strong.

On his waist, there was a short for practice, which was in a sheath.

I put a closed plate on the store door, and I, Ritt and Al walked down the street.

Rumors spread quickly in downtown.

None of the houses seem to be working, and they are worried about Tanta.

Alma is a rare half dwarf in Zoltan.

Dwarves are originally a tribe living on the dark continent, but have partially relocated to the frozen wilderness mountains of northern Avalon to form a kingdom.

In the west where we live, we live in Sir Beard Mountains, where the Dwarven Earl, who has been granted the Earlhood and land by the king in honor of saving the little princess taken by the Ash Dragon, has reigned for generations. It's just like the dwarf city.

Alma is said to have been born to a dwarf man who ran away from a peddler's daughter from Sir Beard Mountain.

At present, he lives alone without a family, but is adored by children in downtown to see if he can be as tall as a child, and is always admired by children in the downtown area.

Alma also complained in the mouth, "I wouldn't do it if I made a fuss." But she happily taught children how to make dwarf baked goods and horseshoe throwing.

"Oh, Red-chan! It's hard!"

"Calm down, I'll talk to the guard. Tell me what happened."

Alma was shaking her little body, with tears in her black, round eyes.

"Tanta was taken away by the guards! I had to protect my child ... I had to protect her! If I wasn't sorry I wouldn't do it!"

First, let's calm down Alma.

Then

"The spirit of light that clears the frenzy of darkness"

Litt used magic behind me. It is a spirit magic for rising spirits such as confusion, depression, and Berserk.

A light-emitting sphere appears and flutters around Alma.

This is the spirit of light.

"Oh, oh ..."

Looking at the light, Alma finally calmed down and began talking to us.

"I came to visit Tanta"

We came to the guard post and told the guards standing at the entrance.

"What are you guys, Tanta? Are you an elf kid? We're working on it tomorrow. Come back with a man sitting there."

At the point where he points, Tanta's father, Carpenter Mid, sits down with a grim expression.

I take the documents out of my pocket.

"A formal request through the Adventurer's Guild. Request to investigate South Marsh's assault case. I heard from Alma that Tanta was detained in that case. I want them to go together to resolve the case. ''

"What?"

The guard receives my documents and confirms it.

At first the expression, which was a half laugh, disappears quickly and turns blue when the name is signed.

"The party members are lit ... hero lit !? The client is the adventurer's guild executive Garadin !?"

Galadin is a tall adventurer's guild executive who has been rubbing about a lit in front of my store.

He was from Shitamachi and knew Alma.

Even if he lives on Congress Street now, that guy is still raised in downtown. The Zoltans are just lazy and lazy, but in the event of a fellow crisis, they can give priority to all work and help.

Galadin, who heard from Alma and Litt, immediately prepared the paperwork and gave us the right to be present at Tanta's inquiry.

There may have been a heartbreaking attempt to have Hero Litt take part in resolving the case that shook the town.

But when I left the adventurer's guild, he stopped me and said,

"Please do not grieve Alma's granny.

I am convinced that this word is true.

The guard glanced at our face.

He smiled with a friendly smile, but we didn't laugh.

"Well, wait a minute so I'll call the upper one!"

The guards at the entrance rushed into the camp.

"It's a good town, right?"

Litt said. I nod.

"Yes."

The town is worried about the only half-elf boy living in the town.

A good town.

"Tanta!"

"Dad!"

"Are you okay !? Wasn't that terrible?"

"I'm fine!"

Mido hangs on Tanta's side first, and then checks to see if Tanta is safe.

As expected, Tanta had no injuries anywhere.

When he was brought here, his arm tied with a rope had been abraded.

I applied the ointment I had to a tanta wound.

"I was surprised to be suddenly brought to me, but I didn't do anything that hurt.

Tanta was in the Tunnel room.

The doors were locked and the windows were small enough for children to pass through, but otherwise a normal room with chairs and tables, and a wooden jug of water.

"I just heard a lot from Ademi's uncle if he didn't know where he was, and he was worried about him."

"Well ...!"

The rumor that Ademi was hidden from the guards was wrong.

We must hear from Ademi's father, the guard of the Guard.
