Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

21 Some Knight's Depression

"... I see. This is certainly hard to come up with."

After listening to the whole story, Caspar made a traffic surface and rested his hand to write the record and rubbed between his eyebrows. She exhaled a deep sigh as she stared at the notebook.

"Regardless of the injustice within the union (guild), it is difficult to prove mental violence... Siori also admitted that all the injuries were caused by the Witch Beast, and that all the suspects denied it and there were no witnesses, it was just circumstantial evidence....."

Though somewhat prepared, Alec, who still couldn't hide his disappointment, became unbearable in Shiori, who was always laughing bitterly if he had no choice.

"I'll report it to the Knights of Tris... What are you gonna do, make a copy of the record? It can't be all of them, but I'll pull out all the places that might be helpful. Maybe even a union."

"- Oh, please."

"Because of this noise, I will be able to make a copy a little further, but I will arrange for it to arrive within the year. Can I send it to the guild?

"Send it to Zach Siel, the master. I'll talk to him."

"I understand. - But I'm sorry, Siori. Reminds me of something hard and doesn't seem to be very helpful."

Speaking of which, Shiori smiled thinly and lowered her eyebrows and buttocks. It's a bit of a troublesome smile.

"No, I'm fine. I'm sorry to bother you at this difficult time."

I finish what I have to say, and I stand up to see the two of you out of your seats.

"What are you going to do?"

When asked, they looked at each other and Alec answered.

"I'm staying for a while. If there's anything else I can do to help."

Unexpecting that response, I exhaled a relief breath, and both of them laughed bitterly. We still don't have enough men. At least until the merchants who caused the incident and the many seriously wounded are transported to the capital. Moreover, travelers wishing to travel must refrain from acting alone until they are certain that the threat of the snow wolf has left. We'll need to put them together and escort them out where some of the hopers are gathered.

"If possible, I would appreciate your cooperation. As yesterday, Alec will be guarded, and Ciori will be helpful if you help us with the ambulance. Specifically, listen to me on the spot."

"Okay."

"I'm sorry."

"I don't mind. It's an Adventurers Guild for times like these."

"Don't worry about it."

Originally, the two of us had to take care of ourselves. Conversely, we had to take care of ourselves and Caspar laughed bitterly.

He drops off two people and one person leaving the tent, exhales a big sigh and sits in the chair.

"--abuse of Gentiles....."

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon in other countries, not just Stridia. Rather, this country is still quite decent. Immigrants and refugees are accepted in relatively large numbers in neighboring countries, and crime tends to be high in these hands, so we regularly conduct on-site inspections of brothels, entertainment facilities, restaurants, etc., and remove illegal shops each time. Since replacing the current King, the frequency of inspections has increased, and the number of inspections has decreased considerably, but unfortunately, it cannot be eradicated. I hate to talk about it, but it's probably because of the demand.

About three or four years ago, a luxury brothel that used to force Gentiles to work illegally and prostitute themselves in the territorial capital was discovered. Due to the cruelty of the situation, it was hardly publicly disclosed except the fact of the expulsion, but it was a really unpleasant and gloomy incident.

The facade was a membership-based luxury club for upscale gentlemen, with luxury prostitutes educated like a lady. Behind that, however, immigrant women who were incapable of speech and customs were intimidated and unfairly forced to work by bringing out old ideas that were once believed in the country, after being badged and baked to stop them from escaping. Some of the women were made to deal with patriots with a cruelty appetite, and there were also several who suffered unspeakable wounds. The exact number was not revealed, but at least four prostitutes have lost their lives at the expense of the gentleman's "play". Some of the crew members were mentally ill with the devastation of the body found.

Caspar, who belonged to the territorial army at the time, was involved in the investigation of the incident.

Don't look at the wound!

"Please, don't kill me!

The crazy crying voices of the women who left them in the Knight's medical facility for treatment after protection still cling to their ears. Many of them have finished their treatment and returned to their daily lives, but there are still women in therapy.

--There was a woman who was apparently assaulted by a merchant, but she was confused and refused medical treatment. Because her condition was unusual, the appearance of Shiori who was seen in the tent rushed by her subordinates asking for instructions to respond overlapped with the appearance of the women at that time.

The reaction to trying to treat the wounded Shiori, and the scars were too similar to the look of the protected women, made them overreact. Sometimes I was breathless that I had to look into the man I brought with me, but the way he looked when I summoned him made it easy to tell that he had nothing to do with the scars. Her scars also showed him how badly he was hurt. Alec was severely and painfully distorted as if he had been wounded when he touched Siori's hand with his pale, trembling fingertips.

That's the face of a man who thinks of a woman.

And from the two people I just heard and dropped off, I saw how deeply they cared about each other and cared about each other. If that man were beside her, the day would surely come when she would be healed, even if she was deeply injured. I hope it heals.

(Speaking of which...)

The case at that brothel in the territorial capital remained unsolved without the mastermind. Since it was pointed out that it was the business of an upscale counterpart called a luxury whorehouse, and as a result, users and managers may also be in a similar position, it became a huge capture under the command of the Trisval border master himself aiming to eradicate human trafficking. In the end, however, the manager was captured, but it did not lead to the arrest of the key mastermind.

After months without seeing a complete solution, Caspar decided to relocate to a garrison in the suburbs, and remains unaware of the aftermath.

"Lord Caspar! The village chief wants to see you. I need to talk to you."

"Okay. I'll be right there."

As he quickly summarized the record and pushed it into his pocket, Caspar stood up. At dawn, he goes outside to show off his unique haste in the morning.

(If you have time this time, will you visit the capital for the first time in a long time? I might ask you something)

I thought about it as I narrowed my eyes on the morning when I rolled up the drawstring and plugged it in.
