"... what is going on?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I failed. I can see for sure that the poisoned wine was in Sir Corinth's cup and drank it."

"So why is he alive?"

"... perhaps they were drinking something like an antidote in advance."

"Is there such a medicine I do not know?"

"Sir Corinth has a panacea for sale. You probably have a lot at hand. You may have taken the panacea beforehand."

“……… panacea? That ’s what I did n’t recommend to the patrons!

"It may be fortunate now that the poison did not work."

"... a dragon, when the dragon appears again?"

"I don't know. Until it becomes clear, I think it's better to keep it alive."

"But he said, but you don't know what the dragon says? Even if he's alive, things may not change."

"But Sir Corinth has encountered a dragon multiple times and has survived. In that sense, he has a track record. Why not just keep it alive while in the royal capital just in case? Perhaps only Sir Corinth can do such ridiculous ridiculous actions. ''

"That's terrible!"

"Would you rather blame the defeat of the thieves than that? I feared that many fearful people would catch more than five hundred thieves in front of His Majesty. ("Tara" is inappropriate as honorific)

"... Hmm. It's difficult to ask me before I lifted that much, but is it okay to let another person do it? Not bad"

◆◆◆◆◆

The rescued people and the ten satellites were divided into groups in a predetermined manner and passed through the gate of the royal capital, and all succeeded in escaping from the royal capital.

All you have to do is escape to Gantz in case you need to follow up. Just in case, I put a drone on guard.

When we returned to the inn, it was already dinner time and we were already ready for it. Not surprisingly, everyone wanted to hear what happened today, so they decided to report while having dinner. More than 90 people are packed in the cafeteria of about 40 people at most, so most people just listen to the story, not the place to eat.

First, talk about Serena and the rescue team. The operation seemed to be going smoothly without any problems from the beginning. The problem occurred when traveling from the dungeon to the carriage, with unfortunate and unexpected movement of guards, who seemed to be trapped around the corridor.

The Serenas seem to have decided to move to Route G, rather than risk losing their identity with the guards. The answer is correct. I must have done that too.

According to Clelia, when Gloria appeared, there was a great deal of noise around the castle.

"... Alan, isn't Gloria coming by accident?"

Well, it's like that. It's no coincidence that Gloria visits our castle at exquisite timing.

"That's right. Gloria seems to be able to hear my call. It doesn't seem to tell me anything.

"... That's what it was like, Gloria who appeared in the castle seemed to be searching for something, he came in response to Alan's call, and Alan could hear Gloria's voice. ? "

"I feel like I'm getting my ideas through. I don't know for sure ..."

I think it's better to keep these settings fluffy.

"Perhaps the spirits are mediating between Alan and Gloria."

It's a strange way to say it. Clelia doesn't seem to forget the existence of Nanom. The people around are nodding, as convinced of what Clelia says.

Hmm? Is this the end? It would be nice to pursue more of this, but Claria's words for spirit seemed to be all right.

Hmmm, it's easy to convince me to say something irresponsible, but don't get frustrated.

After the talks of the Serenas, I'm going to make it easier for me to talk about etiquette and territorial taxation.

"The chief secretary told me that the story of my award was beginning to spread in the royal capital, and that if it were a normal territory, there would be a surge of candidates now, but what do you think?"

"I think it's likely. It's not that much like starting a new aristocrat. The problem isn't usually a territory, but a settlement of the magical sea."

Dulsim seems to agree with the chief secretary. Certainly, the idea of living in the magical sea of trees is unlikely to exist in this country. I hope at least the kind of adventurers gather.

"I don't think we have as many talents as possible ..."

"Of course, if you are a good person, you should recruit actively. If you like it, we will screen to some extent, and if there are no problems, I would like to see Alan and Lear."

That's right. Everyone knows exactly what kind of people you need, and I need to be someone who can understand me. I'm sorry that the newly hired people would be at odds with the original.

"That's a good thing. If you come in, you'll be the center of Dalsim."

"OK"

The story went on to the award ceremony. He said that he had been awarded a baron without any problems, and that he had been asked by the king to defeat the bandits.

"It seems that the king is worried that there are many pirates around the royal city. He knows that we are called a bandit hunter and has asked him to defeat them. I'll show you what I'm doing. ''

"If the king asks you, you'll have to respond, but to wipe out ..."

"Oh, I've confirmed that everywhere. If I can capture more than 500 pirates, I'll fulfill my request."

"" 500 people! "" "500 people seem to be a little too many ..."

"It's okay. I know where the thieves are likely to be. Ah, I've got you in that role.

"" Passion Lord !? ""

"Lear, look here."

Elna puts the Guardian's shield she was holding aside on the table. Apparently he was carrying around.

"... Alan, are you really appointed Guardian?"

"Ah, yes, but he said that only during the period of defeating the pirates, he said that his authority was limited to the capture of pirates. what?"

"A Guardian is as powerful as the presidency of the country in matters of national defense. Usually, nobles near the border are often appointed to deal with enemies who have crossed the border without waiting for the king's direction. In the meantime, you can mobilize soldiers from the surrounding nobility. ''

"Well, that's terrific! So, can I move the garrisoner?"

"Of course it should be possible, but the Guardian would not be appointed unless he was a senior noble near the royal family ..."

He talks about his poisoning, perhaps his involvement, and his own belief that he may pretend to like me to mislead suspects of assassination. Was.

"I see ... it's a very likely story."

"Either way, I'm going to make the most of this Guardian status. I don't like the current situation of guarding the inns. I'm going to do a tough crackdown so that no one wants to take action with us. "

They nodded with a cheerful face. After arriving in the royal capital, she has always guarded the inn with a system of forty people. Of course I think security is necessary, but forty people are too many. On the contrary, I was no longer allowed to go to town alone. Now that you are noble, it may be difficult to go alone, but I want more freedom.

Much of the information that Iris has gotten from taverns. The criminal information we know is probably the tip of the iceberg. However, there are hundreds of suspected criminals, just knowing. Capturing these must be effective.

"Let's start hunting tomorrow. For efficiency, we will divide the three satellite groups into three units, each of which will be led by Serena, B by Sharon, and C by I."

After this, the teams were divided into groups while discussing with each other. Since the inn could not be completely left unattended, each unit had twenty-five members, with Cleria and Dalsim as assistants for Corps A and Erna and Walter as assistants for Sharon of Corps B. The inn is guarded by 15 people.

If possible, capture the bandits like a joint operation with the garrison. It was not a good idea for Serena and Sharon, Elna and Clelia to stand out, so the official commanders were Dalsim and Walter.

The extraordinary meeting was held after discussing the future. She returned to her room, had a brief meeting with Serena and Sharon about the defeat of the bandits, and was ready.

[Captain found escape]

(Finally, I didn't notice until I was replaced.)

A perspective image of the castle is displayed on the virtual window, and there are busy people near the dungeon in the image. It is 12:40, midnight, just before the guard's replacement time.

The only way to the castle dungeon is the dungeon. I thought that it was difficult to barre because only people with a business could pass through, but I did not think that it would last until the time of replacement. Maybe there was an award ceremony, a dragon came, and so on. It's extra care, but I think it's better to have more security.

Now, what exactly is going to happen? Since the person dressed as a female officer has jailbroken, will I still be suspicious of taking me with my servant?

In any case, drones will need to be more vigilant.

(Ask for surveillance of soldiers. Let me know as soon as anything moves.)

[OK]

I couldn't help but worry, so I decided to sleep.

The next morning, Iris was contacting me while I was having breakfast with everyone.

[Captain, soldiers are moving]

(What!?)

An image was displayed on a virtual window, showing the guards coming out of the castle gate. There are about thirty people, and some are riding horses. It is this inn where the soldiers are heading. ...... Apparently you are heading to this inn.

I was rushed for some time to find some definitive evidence and moved to our capture, but probably not to our capture. Thirty people is too small. If you are going to catch us, known as adventurers, you should have at least one hundred and fifty.

"Everyone is on guard. It looks like about thirty soldiers are heading to this inn."

When I said that, two people rushed to inform the other lodgings that were staying dispersed, and four large wooden boxes from the back of the room were pulled out. There are a lot of spare swords, shields, bows and arrows inside. Armed in preparation for an assault, you probably won't use it.

A few minutes later, they arrived before the inn and began to line up. Apparently he did not come to captivity. Is it some kind of communication?

"Alan, you want to see the people of the Royal Guards."

"Okay, let's meet"

After leaving the inn, about thirty soldiers were lined up and kneeling along the street, and in front of the soldiers were five kneeling men, all but captains.

The middle man met yesterday's ceremony and celebration. He introduced himself, and his name tag is virtually displayed with Captain Hermann Barr. A fierce, fierce-looking man dressed in military-like clothing.

Next to the captain, Ralph of the royal capital's garrison, who had recently met at the royal capital's main gate, was also kneeling.

"His Excellency, I'm sorry early in the morning. I'm the Royal Defense Force and Commander. Hermann Baal."

"Good morning, Captain. You were an army."

"His Excellency. You don't need to talk to me that way. If you give such a polite speech to your Honorable Guardian, your subordinates will be confused."

"... I'm sorry, Hermann. And what is it for?"

"I received a command from His Majesty the King to help His Excellency. I thought I was rude early in the morning, but I will do my best for this King. I think it is better to be as early as possible. I did. "

"Yes, that's convenient. I was thinking of contacting me from here, and I was thinking about cracking down on the pirate right now. By the way, how many troops can I collect in an hour?"

"……… If we have 300 people,

"No, I don't need three hundred. So, let's prepare three units of forty men immediately, but a total of one hundred twenty people? Prepare a chain or rope for capture. It would be helpful if you could get me. ''

"I understand."

A captain-like man kneeling next to Hermann ran on a horse, receiving Herman's attention.

"Would you like to have a meeting with a cup of tea? I would like to introduce my own human."

"I understand."

Hermann and the three captains were invited to the hotel's cafeteria and had a meeting.

"This is my subordinate, Ralph, Benito, and Cast. I, Ralph, and Benito will be in command of the three units I ordered earlier."

The corps chief intends to take command of the subjugation squad? The Shining Star also explained that he would be divided into three units, and introduced Dalsim and Walter as captains.

"From today we have decided to crack down on thieves living in the royal capital. We've been constantly searching for those who seem to be thieves. I want you to capture the pirates and interrogate or hear them. "

"I guess it's true, is your Excellency spontaneous?"

"Naturally, I'm serious about this royal life. I'm not going to do anything odd."

"... I understand, but it's only assaulting with the Shining Star ..."

"Hellman would have heard the word of His Majesty at the medal ceremony too?

"... I understand. I will follow your instructions."

When I asked Hermann about the security of the royal city, the outside of the inn suddenly became noisy. Apparently the garrisons have arrived. It's well-prepared even though it hasn't passed forty minutes.

"His Excellency, your subordinates seem to have arrived. If you like, can you ask for patrol?"

"…… understood"

I know how to read in the Squadron, but how do you read the military in this country? Well, surely every army will be together. All you have to do is look around the soldier with a transliteration face.

"Be careful!"

Hermann issued a command, and three soldiers, lined up in a square near the entrance of the inn, straightened themselves. Seems well trained.

Walk slowly in front of the soldiers and check their appearance and equipment. Hermann was following me as well. Stop in front of a soldier.

"Draw the sword and show it."

The soldier showed a gesture of panic, but slowly pulled out his sword and offered me. When I receive it, I look at it so that I can examine the sword carefully, but I do not know the goodness of the sword at all. However, there was no rust and it was not bad. Nodded at the soldier, returned his sword, and continued his patrol. After seeing the soldiers, he returned to the entrance of the inn.

"High morale and skill. Stunning, Hermann."

This was said loudly so that everyone could hear it. This is an important point of patrol. ... I wish it was really expensive.

"Hello, thank you! The most elite of the garrison."

Wow, it was good. I thought it wouldn't hurt to recommend a patrol, but I didn't have to be ashamed. The patrol is complete.

"Now, let's get to the capture of the thieves. Unfortunately, we're in control of this operation with the Shining Stars. We all follow our instructions."

"" Hatsu ""

As soon as we were ready, we divided into three units and left the inn. The thief of the pirate who has a meeting with Serena and Sharon in advance and assaults today has already been decided. Let's attack one after another as time permits.

Attached to my squad was a garrison commanded by Hermann. The sight of forty garrisons behind a squad of twenty-six shining stars seemed strange, and the people of the royal capital looked at us with curiosity.

It was enough to get close to the thief's hideout. Take out the writing utensils and have easy meetings.

"Around this corner is the fourth three-storey building. It looks like this. The only back door is here. Three minutes later, step inside. "

At the end of the meeting, Hermann ordered fifteen soldiers to run behind the back door. Alright, let's go.

I thought there was a lookout at the entrance of the hideout, but I couldn't find anything.

"Well, wait here."

Instructing Hermann and others to open the building doors seems to be locked. After pulling out the magic sword and activating the final blade for the first time in a while, he broke the door hinge and key and kicked the door down.

"What! Are you !?"

Blow away the 20-something man inside with Air Barrett. The door of the small room near the entrance was open and there were four pirates, but those who had flown into the room were hitting their bags with wooden swords. This is five people.

"Four people in the room behind the front"

According to the instructions, seven or eight people run toward the back room. The first floor is now complete. Let's go upstairs. Nine people with this.

The second floor was a large one-floor room, like a warehouse with various supplies. There were three men, but as they approached to watch without any precautions or weapons, they were immediately knocked down with a wooden sword. Twelve, nine more?

Those on the third floor will have noticed that they are already being attacked. Let's go carefully from here. In the virtual window, a transparent image of the building is displayed, and the weapons possessed by the bandits are known.

"Four people in the stairs and corridors. Weapons are only swords."

I said so, and then it was all right and more than a dozen people drew their swords all at once and ran up the stairs. By the time I arrived on the third floor, everyone was cut down and arrested. It doesn't seem to have killed him. This is 16 people.

All that remains is the back room. Five pirates are standing up. I went to the door and called out.

"Hey! This is more than sixty. If you want life, throw away your weapons and lie down on the floor."

"Who are you guys !? A raid knowing that this is the Firth family's hideout!"

Is the family a family run pirate? I didn't think there was such a form of pirates.

"We're shining stars. Give up and throw away your weapons."

"Shining star !? Don't lie, why the adventurer !?"

That's already troublesome. I have no time to ask such questions. No one has a bow, and no one is ready to cast magic.

He kicked the door and threw a fan-shaped oversized air buret into the room. Prepare and prepare for the next round, but all are blown away. This seems to be the end. The blown-out pirates were detained one after another.

"It's wonderful. Alan-sama."

Today my deputy role is like Sasha from Konoe.

"I don't think there are any injured people ... everyone did well."

After a while, Hermann and the garrison came to the room.

"It's really a shining star. It wouldn't end in such a short amount of time ... I was overlooked."

"These guys are just pirates. For us in and out of the sea, they're nothing more than a party."

"As expected"

"Hey! What rights do you have to do this! We can't just do this!"

It was one of the pirates who, in voice, was speaking through the door. Is it the leader of the bandit? Speaking of which, I had no doubt that Iris was a criminal, but what kind of crimes did they commit?

(Iris, what's their sin?)

The video was displayed on the virtual window. The image is like a tavern and the customers are sober. This man's face is zoomed.

"Hey, did the Malein firm do it well? 』

"Hey, the whole family definitely killed everyone. No rot after anything. "

"Yes, I took time. Well, drink it

The video is over. Is it a burglary or a crime that is enough to condemn it?

"According to my investigation, these men should have been involved in the case of Marane Shokai."

"Well, in that case ..."

"... I guess there's evidence. Show me if you have it."

"I'm an idiot. He says you're a sinner. You don't need any evidence or interrogation. Take me!"

"Such an idiot!"

The men were dragged by the soldiers while being confused.

"Hellman, I'd like you to do some interrogation and interviews with the local people. It's possible that our investigation is wrong."

"... Yes, I'm sorry."

"If you run out of hands, you can hire people. You'll pay for them."

"No, such care is useless."

"... Speaking of which, what do you do with the money and things here?"

"Of course, all of them are loot, because we are only helping them."

I was in a different position than the adventurer, so I thought the authorities would seize it, but it seems to be our loot. Well, that means we are now authorities. It feels strange.

According to the response of the multiscanner, there is a stash of gold on the floor in one corner of the room. When the sword was pulled, the final blade was activated and the floor material was cut. As I walked away, I saw some leather bags and books.

The leather bag contains gold and seems to be sorted by coin type. Both gold and silver coins are heavily heavy, a considerable amount. Well, the contents of this bag are full of big jewelry and precious metals. This is a great harvest.

"Oh, this is amazing ..."

"Hellman, let's split the loot with our shining star and garrison. We'll take all the goods to a commercial guild for purchase. We'll also get the funds needed for the investigation and split the remaining funds. This story? "

The garrisoners around me are paying close attention to the conversation between Hermann and me without stooping.

"... I have never heard of it, but we have no wishes. Are you sure?"

"That's going to motivate the soldiers. Instead, I'd rather be responsible for managing the money and investigating the charges."

"... I see. If special allowances were to be given, soldiers throughout the royal capital would be willing to interrogate even if they were asleep. I would guarantee that ... It would be helpful if you could send an Audit & Supervisory Board member from a subordinate of your Excellency for peace of mind ... "

"It's good. I think I can get it if only a few people are fine."

I hope this is done by the Quatre merchants.

Alright, we've got some responsibility for the garrison.

"Let's stop by the commercial guild and talk about picking up loot.

"I've acknowledged"

The commercial guild manager Yang I met the other day felt cooperative. I'm sure it won't be bad. Hermann, leaving about fifteen soldiers, ordered him to take the pirates and transfer the goods, and traveled together to the commercial guild.

(Sharon, Serena. What's that like?)

(This has just been suppressed, no injuries)

(Also here)

(Yes. All loot in the hideout has been split with the garrison. Tell the garrison that all seized items, including gold, should be taken to the commercial guild.)

((OK))

Fortunately, the commercial guild was a short walk away. As expected, there is only a commercial guild in the royal capital, and the size of the building is more than twice the size of Gantz.

With everyone waiting outside the guild and entering with only a few, the inside of the guild was crowded with merchants. Go to the reception and show your guild card to the staff.

"Would you like to meet the guildmaster?"

"Is there a promise? You can't meet without a promise"

"Hide me, this is to be under Lord Corinth."

Sasha, who was aside, said that while showing my crest to the staff. Oh, so I remembered the coat of arms in Sasha and forgot it. As expected, only Moto Konoe seems to know how to use the emblem.

"I'm sorry! I'll call you soon."

Officials rush into the guild. I'm sorry. I should have claimed that I was noble from the beginning. Soon, the guild leader Yang and five guild officials came.

"This is His Excellency Baron and His Excellency. Thank you for coming. Please go to the conference room if you like."

He was skillfully guided to the meeting room. We had three shining stars, three garrisons, and six from the commercial guild sitting in the conference room.

"I'm sorry to take the time. In fact, we decided to work with the garrison to crack down on the bandits around the royal city."

"I'm here. Thank you for your help in our work."

"It's a royal life. You'll have to get rid of the guild's request for defeating the shining star."

"I've acknowledged"

"I'd like to talk about the loot. I want you to buy the goods collected from the guilds in the guild. Will this be an auction?"

"I'm convinced that the auction is good. If it's a loot from pirates, it's likely to be a lot of precious and precious metals. Some people may want lost items, and it's likely to be the most appropriate price I think it is. "

"Okay. Let's ask in an auction. Soon after, garrisoners will bring in a series of goods. They will accept, manage, auction, and report the results to Hermann. Can you ask? "

"Of course, this is for the people of the royal capital. The commercial guild will cooperate fully. The auction fee is usually 10/5 minutes, but we will take it in 5 minutes."

"That doesn't help. Thanks for the help."

After all it was decided easily. A brief discussion was held regarding the cooperation between the garrison and the guild, and several people were stationed in the guild to manage the money and the talk was concluded. After the meeting, leave the guild.

"Now, Hermann. I want to get rid of at least two more places today.

"... I understand. Let's get excited."
