47. About orphanages

Sometimes it was before lunch when I got to the guild and few people were there. And when I looked at the receptionist, Mr. Elena seemed busy. Maybe I'm busy with a lot of work to take over. And thinking about it, Mr. Rondo came out of the back and had a gaze. Then Mr. Rondo came to me.

"Mr. Lena, I'm back in a good place. Looks like Mr. Emilia wants to talk to you. Could you please come?

"Yes, sir"

That being said, I follow Mr. Rondo. And I wonder what Mr. Emilia's story is? And that's what I thought.

That's how Emilia was drinking tea when she walked into the room where she was.

"Lena, you've come to a good place."

"Ha, ha. Well, Rondo told me that Emilia wanted to talk to you, but what is it?

"I was talking to you earlier about Youre, and I found out something."

When I heard about Mr. Emilia, I found out that it was about the orphanage where Yours lived, but I was just a little surprised that I didn't think you'd immediately look into what we talked about an hour or two ago.

"... have you looked it up yet?

"Yeah, for once, huh? So, what do you know? Apparently, the land is all over the others."

"I knew it..."

"I was just a little concerned that you were treating me like you transferred it, but I couldn't find out that much more."

and Emilia seemed a little sorry, but I only had a little idea. Perhaps, but wasn't the dean caught by the Gegas Bandits in contact to pick up the orphanage kids? I think. If you say you signed a contract at that time, I can be convinced. And I don't think you sold the land on the contract without keeping it.

"Perhaps, but the Dean himself wrote about the transfer..."

"? Why did you think that?

"That's..."

I explained to Emilia what had happened a while ago. Maybe you already know.

What I told Emilia was that Yua was caught by the Gegas Bandits and that the Rex Bandits were somewhat involved, that the Dean was killed, etc. I predict from there, but I told Emilia what I had thought earlier against the dean I heard from Yua.

"I see. That happened... I never thought Lena was involved with the Gegas Bandits."

"... you haven't asked the guards in detail?

"You won't give me that much detail. For once, personal information feels like confidentiality. Oh, except for criminals? I just sometimes share information about what happened, don't I?

For once, is there some cooperation between the guild and the guards......

"In the meantime, I see what Lena's trying to say. As a precaution, I'll look into the owners of the land, but understand that Yours is likely to be evicted."

I knew it would happen...... For once, should I tell Youre as well? I still have time for Elena to finish her succession.

"Okay. Later, I wish I could, but if Yours is in trouble while I'm gone, could you help me?

"... ok. I'll do whatever I can. But as a guild master, it might be a little unsavory, so I'll leave it to you to deal with Lena, okay?

"Yes, please do what you can"

That's how I ended my conversation with Emilia and left the room. I have some time until the time I promised Elena, so I decided to go back to the orphanage to tell Yua what Emilia told me earlier.
