Episode 105

When the fog clears, it moves along the shore.

There were fishermen on the beach who were cleaning the nets. Seth asks the fishermen to hang out on a boat and goes to the port with the pier.

The fishmongers at the end of the morning market were busy cleaning up the harbor.

Aboard the pier, carry the body of a middle-aged man wrapped in cloth and a small boat.

It must have been a strange sight. All the attention of the port.

When I explained the circumstances to a fisherman-like uncle who was watching stunningly nearby, he told the young people and called a guard.

"Where did you pick it up?"

A fish shop-like uncle asked me.

"I'm just west of here. In the southern sea where fishermen are."

"Well, right?"

People gathered during such a conversation.

Are the port town people gathered about 50/50 beastmen and races? There seem to be some indigenous people, but the number is small.

When asked the name of the town,

"East End of the Rock Salt East Kingdom is a Port Town"

"Is this town east of Virginia?"

"Yes, it's the southeastern end."

Replied, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

After listening to the weather and temperature for a while, a guard with a spear came.

The guards in slightly worn armor stalked and came close to us. Is the year about the same as me?

"You guys, did you bring the corpse?"

"Yes. If you have a family, I think it would be better to tell me."

"I see. You were having a hard time. Are you merchants?"

"Yes, we are a cleaning extermination company."

With that said, I showed the merchant guild card.

"Is this a corpse?"

"Yes, I fell down in the boat and found the place where it was swept away by the sea and picked it up."

"all right"

The guard turned over the cloth wrapped around the body, checked his face and body, and breathed. Screams were heard from those who had gathered on the field horse.

"I'm a noble ... I understand. It may be a little annoying, can you tell me a story?"

"Speaking of which, I found this morning in the sea a little west from here. Look, it's south of the beach where fishermen are fixing their nets."

"This morning? It took a long time."

"Because the fog was coming out"

When I looked around, I saw a fish shop-like uncle nodding.

"Yes. I see. Thank you. Does anyone know this noble?"

The guard asked the surrounding horses, but no one spoke.

Watching the reactions of the wild horses, the guards checked if there was anything in the body's clothes,

"Did you have any belongings?"

"It wasn't in the boat. I've put it on the deck and wrapped it in cloth, so I almost never touched it."

"There is no oar. There are no traces of fighting, but no weapons. No wallet ... there is blood, this is it."

The guards removed a bloody handkerchief from the body's chest.

"Are you a pirate ...?"

The guards speak like themselves.

"Will the pirates shed their bodies on boats?"

I heard. The guard had a bitter face.

The other guards arrived, pushing the people apart. A young guard in it looked at the body,

"This is from the Ernest family."

Said in a voice that seemed to disappear. I looked at the body as if everyone else was losing words. Apparently, he seems to be a good nobleman.

Later, four guards remained on the spot, carrying the corpse and the boat with the help of the men of Onijima.

"Bad, can you check the ship?"

The guard who was at the beginning heard.

"I don't mind, but does it take time?"

"It's up to you"

Are you suspected?

"That said, we have no reason to kill that nobleman."

"And there's no one who cuts off that halfway."

I and Aisle answered. Ayle seems to say that if any of our employees cut off, he would cut it off.

"And there's no criminal who bothers their sins, for no reason."

Bersa answers.

"But here's something I want to ask. Don't leave port for a while."

"Okay, so I'd like to get a ship's port permit if I need it, is that OK? And I'd also like to contact the merchant and adventurer guilds."

"I see. I'll keep the port permit here. Let the merchant and adventurer guilds go to this guard. Is that OK?"

"Is good"

The guard sends instructions to a young guard next to him.

"Tell me that Comlo Company has arrived. It should work. Thank you very much."

The young guard nodded and ran.

"Who is the captain?"

"it's me"

Seth answers.

"I'll look at the ship, so be with me."

"Yes"

Seth and the Guard enter the ship.

Two guards watching us, waiting for a while.

"Oh, it was a pain."

"I was glad I let go."

"It's hard to be kind."

Women are blurred.

"I can't help finding it,"

I waited too long and asked the guard to watch for East End specialties.

The seafood soup looks good. After that, there are many blacksmiths and woodworkers. There are many pirates in the eastern archipelago, and they are actively making weapons such as swords and spears for swordsmen, wands and bows for wizards to counter.

"In addition to the Adventurer's Guild, the only Mercenary Guild in the Russell Union may be the Rock Salt East Kingdom only."

The young guard said proudly. He seems to be a mercenary, so he can eat just the work of an escort.

"Which is stronger, guard or mercenary?"

Isle asks a young guard.

"It's ... a guard!"

Are mercenaries stronger?

"Neither changes so much. Some change from guards to mercenaries, others from mercenaries to guards. Those who prefer danger are more likely to become mercenaries. Those who can confront danger are guards. Don't be afraid to be young. ''

An older guard who was listening next door said.

By the way, what kind of people are the adventurers in this town?

When I asked, Seth and the Guard came back.

"What are you eating? Are you sailing without any food?"

All food is in item bags.

"It's suspicious. Would you like to accompany me a little bit?"

It has become cumbersome.
