Legend

As soon as I saw the person, Talania's movements stopped.

Sometimes the beauty of Elaine blinded me, but that's not all.

In the first place, if you mean the beauty of the Elaine class, because there are also two Marinas and Vihelas on Ray's side.

The problem was that it was still Elaine who was there.

... Yes, Elaine Keller with the alias of the Princess General, also to be called a symbol of the aristocracy.

Elaine's father, the Duke of Kelevel, is, needless to say, the person who leads the aristocracy.

And the faction to which the nobility is attached, which is sending deputies to Subrusta, is also an aristocrat.

In other words, it is not a mistake to say that the person currently in front of Talania is the daughter of our own boss.

If you try Elaine, Talania will be in the position of that other subordinate of the person hired by her father's men.

Not very much, but he wasn't a good opponent to defy.

Not to mention that information had not come down to Tarania, but the Duke of Kelère has even given us a circular not to imitate it in such a way as to interfere with the construction of the Gilm's addition.

But whether you know that or not, Ray remains completely unaware of Tarania's condition... No, he looks at Elainea and sees Tarania, who strengthens her body, and Ning Ro opens his mouth saying this is a good opportunity.

"This guy is Talania. Apparently subordinate to Subrusta's deputy. So, the bandits we capture are actually hunters who were in the woods by accident or something, so we illegally capture guys like that and sell them off as slaves... and that's what they claim."

"... ho"

Having heard Ray's words, Elaine takes a glimpse of the bandits captured by the Rays - the other adventurers to be exact - and then takes a glimpse of their captured bandits that Ara is pulling, then finally turns her gaze to Talania.

"So you think the bandits I captured are hunters too? And that's what you're saying when we're captured to illegally enslave them?

To Elaine's words, Tarania gets stuck in words.

Whatever you say, it can only be a grave for you in the present situation.

That's why I understand.

... Most of the captured bandits will be punished after hearing the circumstances, and most will be sold off as slaves unless there are any special circumstances.

In fact, the adventurers are capturing the bandits because, in addition to the rewards of the bandit's crusade request and the treasures the bandits were accumulating, they are looking at the amount of money they sold off the bandits as slaves.

In that sense, not everything Talania is saying is completely wrong.

But there's no way I can say here that you're right.

"That's... that..."

Even if Elaine is urged to go ahead with her gaze, Talania just clouds her words.

To such a Talanian figure, Arla turns her intense gaze when she finally brings the bandits to Elaine's next door.

What's in that gaze is unpleasantness.

Even somewhat apart, naturally, Elaine and Ray, Talania's story also sounded like Ara.

Treating my beloved Elaine like an illegal slave trader is not something that is absolutely forgivable to Ara.

Also, even if it's not as good as Elaine's, it's unforgivable that she had such suspicions about Ray and the others.

"You were talking about Subrusta's deputy's immediate subordinate, and this time the deputy... not to mention the people on top of it?

Cold, that is not the eye that sees people, but the eye that is turned to see things, Tarania wonders if there is any way to mislead this place.

(Why would Elaine be in a place like this!

That was the single biggest miscalculation for Talania.

We had information that Elaine was staying in the Guild, but only the adventurers were moving in this one case.

Most importantly, it was only a short while ago that Talania found out about this case.

So I guess it was totally unexpected that Elaine was acting with the Rays.

... A little familiar with the circumstances would have made it possible to know that Elaine was acting with the Rays, but Hate and Tarania's ears weren't that good.

"Cu? Cu?

"Gru."

I can't even talk about something.

In such a short distance from Talania, Seto and Yello are delightfully exchanging words.

Those around Seto looked at the exchange in a dusty way… the air was completely different from where the Talanians were, but the world had a different atmosphere.

"You don't seem to have answered Ara's question, do you? Do you even know who's above you this time?

"... my, arbitrary"

A voice leaked from Tarania's mouth, as if she had pushed him to death, to Elaine's words, which she inquired overlapping.

It's not like I didn't think about shifting responsibilities to my boss for a moment.

But then you'll be resented for being directly close to you: your boss.

In that case, now, in the future, it will definitely be fatal to me… In some cases, it will be a danger to my life, so I decided.

If you think about what's ahead, you should wear mud.

... In fact, a lot of the profits made in this case... that's what if the bandits took the treasure they were saving away from the adventurers, half of it was decided to belong to Talania, so in that I moved mainly, the word is never wrong either.

"Does that mean that Tarania tried to interfere with our actions of her own free will?

"Yes."

Even if I try to delude myself any more, I get in a bad position.

If so, this place is heavily to answer Elaine's words and try to make an impression. I thought about it that way, but it was a late attitude.

"So why did you try to imitate that?

"It's a move... to take away the kind of treasure that the bandits were saving."

"... well. I thought you might be connected to a bandit."

"That's not true!

Talania, who immediately denies Elaine's words.

Admitting that you tried to embezzle a bandit's treasure is no way to admit that you were connected to a bandit.

If it were the former, even if it were to be punished, it would do so to the extent that the precision would be turned into idleness, but in the latter case it could have been decapitated if it had been made public.

Nor is it physically decapitated in the sense of letting you quit your job... that is, execution.

If it was an execution for being connected to a bandit, then that's no honor or anything.

On the contrary, in some cases, even the family can be blamed.

That's why we can never just be known that we're connected to bandits.

"Hmm?... This guy says this, is it true?

Having heard the words of Talania, Elaine turns her gaze and asks the bandits who are being captured by the adventurers.

Towards such bandits, Talania desperately sends an eye out.

Don't say anything about yourself. with such willingness.

But in the first place, the bandits and Tarania were only connected by an exchange of gold.

From Talania, like working on guilds to keep them from crusading bandits for various reasons, and letting bandits know if they find someone to prey on for their outfits.

If the bandits give us information about the existence of a disturbance to Talania, we will target you as a matter of priority. Like giving Talania some of the share I got.

There is no trust, it is a dry relationship for each other to use each other, so few people have been able to understand it even if they desperately look at Talania.

And those who did not understand decided that they had been cut off by Talania, and uttered their displeasure.

"Don't be ridiculous! Do you ever get paid by us scattered and hang up first when this is the case!?

"Yes, if you're abandoning us, you're on the road too! Hey, you guys! Talania was working with us and letting us attack whoever got in our way!

"I've killed that man before because there's a man in the way of the woman I was after!

"I've been asked to kill someone who was hostile to Tarania!

Many other bandits scream at what Tarania has asked me to do so far.

Originally there was no trust or credibility, that's why I decided that Talania had truncated itself in a relationship that was connected by gold alone, so it was only natural that no matter how much Talania looked at me, I couldn't understand what that meant.

"Ki, ki, you guys!

Tarania, who was taken on the road, screams to somehow delude herself into the words of such bandits.

"Don't get involved until I have nothing to do with it, just because I've sinned! Don't talk cod!

It was Talania screaming with her face bright red, but that's what the bandits said and did, showing that the word was true.

The trouble with such a Talanian appearance is not the Rays... but the Elainas... but the guards that Talania has led.

Some guards should be called Talanian private soldiers, but most of them are regular guards.

In other words, if what the bandits are saying is true, we are in a position to have to capture Talania.

But if you know how much power Talania has in Subrusta, you can't even move in a detour here.

What happens if we can capture Tarania here, but if it means not guilty by some mistake?

If you are someone who knows the character of Talania, you will undoubtedly worry about your own safety… and the safety of your family.

In fact, there will be a considerable number of people who have ever come across terrible things against Talania.

Including those who are not out of touch, that will be the only way to think about how many of them will be. But...

"Now, you'll soon find out if what the bandits are saying is true by doing an investigation in the Guild. Naturally, you... that was Tarania, wasn't it? Let me restrain you for once more than your name came out of the bandits."

"Become!? Wait a minute, Master Elaine! I work for Subrusta. I don't care how much Elaine thinks I am..."

Imitation is not tolerated in such a way as to bind oneself.

It was Talania who tried to scream that way, but the moment I saw Elaine's eyes that could be directed at me, the movement stopped.

I'm not fascinated by that awesome beauty...

However, despite all its beauty, there was no such thing as any emotion in my eyes to see myself.

That would have convinced Talania, too, if it had floated in anger or frustration.

But what is now in Elaine's eyes is her gaze as if it were even a roadside stone.

The moment I see Elaine's gaze at herself, Tarania becomes completely barometric and unable to say anything more.

With a glimpse of the silent Talania, Elaine turns her gaze and opens her mouth to the guard behind it.

"You should go back to Subrusta and report this to your superiors and deputies. Then it will be clear how it works. However... tell your father not to lie or deceive you about the move."

All the guards could do to Elaine's words was respond with acknowledgement.

If you show a far-fetched attitude here, that's because you understood that you would definitely be judged to be one of the Talanians.

At the same time, there was nothing like taking action against those who should have been called Talanian private soldiers, who were mixed up among the guards, as there was nothing they could do in the present situation.

Most importantly, even with some means, it was probably impossible to turn an opponent, General Princess, into an enemy and take action.

Although in the position of a private soldier in Talania...... no, it should be said that it is not linked by acts of trust, brother-in-law, let alone loyalty, but merely a relationship of gold.

In that sense, neither the private soldiers nor the bandits would be very different in terms of their connection to Tarania.

Of course, private soldiers were more favoured than bandits, but that's not enough on this occasion… and later to do something about it.

"Then this case is closed. Anyone, anyone in disagreement?

"I am!

"I didn't ask you. Shut up."

It was Talania who tried to protest Elaine, but it is immediately truncated to Elaine.

Then no one would say anything more... this commotion was to fit in safely.

Although there was no doubt that this Talanian boss, the deputy, and the nobleman who sent the deputy would be pursued later.
