Now, where I came from is the entrance to the aristocratic city where I walked straight down the boulevard from the east side where the guild is located. An aristocratic city entrance surrounded by large gates and high walls like the entrance to the imperial capital. Both sides of that gate stood imperial soldiers as gatekeepers.

"Excuse me, I'd like to go inside for a moment"

"Oh, Master Asagi. Go ahead."

He is the semi-winner of the Imperial Sword Martial Society and has seen it with His Majesty the Emperor several times, so he finds out his face. Because I do, it is a face pass.

"Hi."

I'll show you the status card for once, though. Even cheap exchanges have rules. The gatekeeper also checks.

After those exchanges, I entered the aristocracy. If we keep walking, we can get to Emperor Castle, but this time we have no business with His Majesty the Emperor. I have a lot to say, but it's not as good as I say.

Quest's client was noble. It is also the Cartellasa family, one of the eight great nobles who built the empire. This was taught to me at the time I ordered the quest, but there is also a sequence among the eight great nobles, and the Cartellasa family is said to be fourth from the top. I was thinly aware that my client's name was someone who felt great with middle names and family names, but I never thought he was that kind of guy up there.

"Er, the Cartellasa family..."

It was a quest I took just because it seemed interesting, but as far as my stance was concerned, I wasn't going anywhere near nobility. Because I was sorry for the power and all that. But the stance didn't make sense to me when I swept away the nobility and had a relationship with the emperor because of the semi-winning. That said, nobility should not be able to be more involved with the emperor than with the nobles around it, nor can they be more helpful than taking the word that they are not going to bind adventurers on it. I worried for a moment, but, well, I changed my mind.

There were eight great nobles on the boulder, and they hit a big house a little walk away. It's a fine mansion. Based on the map I got at the guild, it looks like this is Cartellasa's mansion. My uncle the gatekeeper coughed me out looking bokeh because it was such a big house.

"Oh, excuse me. I came here for a request at the guild..."

"Are you an adventurer? Now show me your status."

"Yes. Status Open"

"Sure. Then go inside."

"Thank you"

Ask them to open the gate and keep going inside. It's a long way from the gate to the house......

Walk looking at the status you were displaying. Labyrinth disaster at the Resellent Ribble. Getting past that raised my level by two. Stagnation began over 90 on the boulder. Until then, every time I got through the ordeal, it was well up, but it might be time to hit me in the head. If I have cheats, I'm likely to get more and more levels... Hate, I don't have a protagonist correction. All there is is is the skill given and "instrumental poverty" strength. I'm going to do well so far... but I wonder what will happen next.

Well, walking around with that in mind was fast enough to get home to the boulder. I guess it was more meaningful than just walking.

This is another gatekeeper in front of the house. But the figure was so-called 'butler'.

"Is it Master Asagi"

"Yes."

This way, please.

Looks like the surface is cracked. The gatekeeper may have contacted me by some means earlier. The butler pushes the door open and leads us inside. If you go through the door with a big, luxurious inside, now you're the housekeeper. Speaking of Orthodox maids, I would pass it on. She goes on, and then I go on, and the butler serves as his deacon. Proceed along the corridor where the candle fire stabbed the candlestick with the guidance of the maid. And it's quiet. There are signs of a lot of people in Sign Sensing. Maybe he'll be pissed off if he's not quiet. And I also shut my mouth naturally and walk as far as I can not stand my footsteps. Maybe this is what you have to do in a noble house.

"... ugh."

The butler breathed in the back. This still seems to be the right thing to do. Heh, it would be easier if you were about me...

The footsteps were completely erased and the maid stopped as she walked with a doya face. One door by the side.

"It will be this way."

The maid stands beside the door and bows her head. And the butler stood on the other side of the maid and gently opened the door. I'll meet the two of you and go inside.

"Excuse me."

I step in with a word of no before entering the room, but no one was there. I'm embarrassed......

"... Your husband will be here later"

"Ah...... yes. Thank you."

The maid told me from behind. I see this is the reception room. Then I wanted you to say that first. You don't have to scratch. Scratching shame is so embarrassing.

The door closes and is left in an unmanned reception room. Based on "Sign Sensing," the maid leaves, but the butler is waiting beside the door. And there's a reasonably high number of people waiting in the surrounding rooms. I was nervous because I first came to the nobleman's house, but I am proud to say that my adaptability is quite high. Familiar with the environment, I can perform as I should. And I noticed.

"You're being watched."

"Oh, you've noticed."

Suddenly a human came out in the sensing area. Someone is peeking through the gap in the door that opened gently as he turned around in a hurry. A red-haired woman. Elves when it comes to flashy hair color in this world...... ears look like normal ears.

"The adventurer you asked for?

"Yes, it's Asagi-Kamiyashiro. Best regards,"

"It's Carmilla-Dee Cartellasa, whom I made a request for. Oh, you... hehe, is this a coincidence?

"Yes?"

It was the aristocratic buried sister who opened the door and came in. But I don't feel disgusted, I feel like a rich, well-raised sister. Such a sister looks at me and laughs. Such a normal aristocratic sister possesses "Sign Blocking" skills that go beyond my "Sign Sensing"...?

My sister, who came in slowly, sat in a chair and urged me to sit down, too. I followed the instructions and lowered my hips to the other side where I pinched the table.

"I'm seeing you. Not long ago."

"Really?

"Yep. Auction venue."

I don't think there was such a red-haired woman... You won't forget it if you see it in the first place.

"Well, I was disguised, so you wouldn't notice."

"Really?"

That can't possibly tell. Someone with a high level of skill. The disguise would have kicked in perfectly.

"So this request has something to do with the auction..."

"Say?

"It's weird because you won the bid, but you caught my eye."

"Huh? That's..."

When it comes to what I put up, it's nothing more than an automatic doll (Automata).

"Please come in."

"Yes, excuse me"

The one who came in on Mr. Carmilla's signal was the one who dressed the same as the maid earlier. No, I'm not a person. The person was an automatic doll that I discovered in the ruins of an ancient elf and auctioned off.

"It's moving..."

"That's right. Because it moves with magic."

Sure it is. But I never moved myself. [M] I didn't even check it out. Because I thought if I moved it, I'd get emotional and I couldn't let go. Sometimes I was scared because I didn't know how to react.

Such an automatic doll is said to be the cause of this request. It could certainly have something to do with me. [M] But it was Carmilla who won the bid, and I'm not supposed to be responsible for this.

"It was a complete coincidence that you came here. Don't look so scared."

"... excuse me. I didn't know what kind of development it was going to be."

"Hehe. It's easy. I want you to capture or kill the thief who's after this child."

Killing is another noisy story.

"If you ask me to kill you, I say no."

"Or I thought you said. I don't like killing either."

That being said, my eyes are serious. I stuck my neck in the funny half, but it's likely to be a noisy development.

Ms. Carmilla tells me how it happened. If you ask me, they've seen someone sniffing around the perimeter of the mansion since a little while after winning the bid. That's multiple, too. They do things like surveillance while switching people. She decided that the target would be an automatic doll at times, and made a request.

"But you're not afraid to sniff around the mansions of the eight nobles."

"They're nobles too, so there's no choice."

"What?"

"The thief also said noble. A nobleman who couldn't win a bid is making a fool of himself around me."

"Uh, you know..."

That time I showed some inner exuberance. It may be regrettable that the bid could not be won because it was an auction in which thousands of units of gold flowed. So, I'm checking the Cartellasa house and putting on a math to steal out the automatic doll...

"It's easy when nobility comes out to noble opponents... that's where I came up with it. If you use adventurers, you don't have to bother."

"Adventurers are not disposable tools."

"Oh, from our nobles' point of view, adventurers are excellent tools."

……

I ate a little side, but I guess this is the idea of a race called aristocracy. Well, it's a different race from the people we've met before. It even tastes fresh.

"If it's a request, I'll do my best."

"Hehe, I'm counting on you. This is prepayment."

Pattin, when I rang my finger, the automatic doll placed the leather bag beside me. Money from the sound. Well, it looks like it's in there, but this would also be the end money if it came from nobility.

"If you tie me up, I'll give you double that. If I kill you, I'll pay you an extra stopping fee. Is that a good idea?

"I won't kill you. I'll see you tonight."

"I hope so. silver ."

Receive the money and take a seat. The butler, who had refrained from leaving the room while looking at the automatic doll standing beside him chillily, led me to the front door.

Interesting half, a quest I started out with interest, but unfolded unexpectedly: the wickedness of the nobility involved in the eight great noble Cartellasa families. Involving quests for automated dolls sold.

Well, I wonder how you explained it to Daniela...
