My First Trip was to Another World

[]/(n, vs) farce/(P)/

It was a long time to think.The request to pursue the bandits and the stolen goods, which began with the investigation of the suspicious request, was finally closed.Report it to the royal castle and you'll be rewarded for completing this request.

However, I think it is better not to report it today.Soldiers are still rampaging in the stolen market, and participants are being arrested.Today's royal castle will be busy.

He threw a round at the soldiers and returned to Elminsule.At the same time, the transcriber trembled.The opponent is the King. I understand the requirements, but would you like to read them?

"What's wrong?

"It's an order to appear.Anyway, it's about the dumb aristocrats.Tomorrow morning, I'll be back in the morning.I'm coming. "

"Ah, please wait.I'm coming, too. "

Luna raised her hand and Lily followed.

"No, we should all go this time.Somewhat of a case involving everyone. "

Indeed, Luna and Lily are deeply involved in this case.Claire and Leeds are also traveling to the stolen goods market.So Claire and Leeds were watching the entire scene.I also need the testimony of these two.

I see.Copy that. "

I will leave at dawn as soon as I have finished breakfast.

I can't seem to transfer to my usual room today...The transcriber contained a note reminding visitors to follow proper procedures.

Regular procedures would mean entering the main gate of the royal castle and heading into the marina.Since the gatekeeper at the castle gate is familiar with his face, he enters with a face pass without showing his ID card.Say hello appropriately, enter the castle, and walk straight into the hallway.

"I've been expecting you.Please come this way. "

Walking down the hallway of the castle, a civilian old man talked to me.I don't get lost without guidance, but I will obey honestly.As I was told, I walked into the hallway.Zero waiting times even though it's a regular procedure... unusual.

"Knight Cor has arrived."

That's what the civilian old man said, with his head down on one knee.It's an unfamiliar greeting, but should I imitate it...?

Armed and lost, the king says mightily.

"Good. Explain what happened."

There doesn't seem to be any need for strange greetings.It's helpful because I don't know how to do it.

"Ask first. Why were you guys there?

It was not the king who asked the question, but an expressionless old man dressed in luxurious clothing standing in front of the king's diagonal position.As far as I can see, I think today's gaze is like a trial.So, this faceless old man is probably a judge.

Speaking of Bonanza, it's going to be more troublesome, and I don't want to reveal my smartphone or Map's magic equipment... Now, what do you say?

"I just happened to get here after the stolen goods.Is there a problem?

"You've been here a long time, haven't you?Weren't you going to get some of the stolen goods?

Oh, it didn't hurt.This is easy to answer.

"I was recording the buyer.It records all who bought what.If it's necessary for the investigation, I'll submit it later. "

"Hmm...."

The expressionless old man pressed his hand against his chin.

But I feel a little suspicious, too.I don't like it.

"Aren't the masterminds arrested?

The mastermind must be Count Doolin.There is no physical evidence, but there is enough circumstantial evidence to make that determination.

"Consistently pleads not guilty.On the contrary, I'm suing for wrongful arrest and Knight Cor's overstepping of authority. "

Seriously. You can't do as much as you want.How are you going to get away with this?

"I know what Knight Kor said.I have to ask for the opinion of Count Doolin. "

When I was stunned and couldn't open my mouth, the king pinched my mouth.I don't care, but I think I'm being called a knight today.Seriously, I don't care.

After a while, Viscount Doolin appeared, surrounded by several soldiers.

"Then ask Count Dokulin.Why were you there?

The interrogation by a judge begins.Let me explain to you Doolin's compelling excuses.

"Thank you for investigating the theft.If they hadn't bothered me, I'd have arrested them all. "

Doolin answers "Slash" without changing her complexion.Looks like they were prepared in advance.

"It has been investigated that the Bernard Chamber of Commerce was in charge of the city.Is it a Chamber of Commerce run by your relatives?

"No, I didn't think there were any relatives who could get their hands dirty on crime.I'm surprised too. "

I see, that's it.

"You were entrusted with the management of the Merchant Alliance.You still didn't notice?

"I thought the meeting was a good merchant, but I didn't think he was even good at hiding the crime.People don't understand. "

That's a terrible excuse...I am angry with this playful attitude.

"Then I'll change the question.I have testimony that you were in charge of that city, but what does that mean?

"I don't know. It will all be the fault of a man named Kho.They're trying to get me into trouble. "

Wait a minute?Is this guy gonna fake his sins to me and run away?No, I suppose it was meant to be since we first met.He was screaming that I had taken the stolen goods with me.I think I'd better keep my mouth shut.

"Then what about the magic tools that the bandits used?It wasn't supposed to be treatable to amateurs. "

It was painful for Doolin, but his face was stretched and his voice roughened.

"I don't know what I don't know!Looks like you're the ones who broke the line!I thought you taught the bandits how to use it!? "

Oh, you're finally losing it.Let's stick it a little bit more.

How do you know the bandits were using a new kind of union?

"Hmm? That was... discovered in the investigation.The magic equipment I made was stolen, so it's only natural to investigate. "

That's the most plausible excuse. I don't know how to return it... while the judge asks questions.

"The magic equipment will be the same as the boundaries used in the Stolen Goods City.What's that supposed to mean?

"I lent it to Bernard.I didn't think it would be abused.I'm sorry. "

Doolin answered with his eyes swimming.He's pretending to be calm, but he must be pretty upset.Next, Luna raised her fearful hand.

"Um... may I have one?"

"Call me."

"The craftsman who made it sent all the prototypes once (...).If it was stolen, is it strange that Count Doolin has it?

Oh, I'll see what happens.That juncture must have been an emergency for Doolin.

Doolin didn't respond badly right now.For example, if you say 'everything has been stolen', you must realize the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the bandits when the Bernard Chamber of Commerce is using the border.Anyway, it's packed.

"What? No, don't lie!I don't know!

Doolin is still trying to cut his head off, but no one will listen to him anymore.

Your Majesty, make your judgment.

"Hmm. It's obvious that Count Doolin was using bandits to fatten his stomach.Destroy the Viscount Doolin.There will be remnants, so keep investigating. "

You finally see the full story.It was Count Doolin who manipulated the bandits.The contact point is the Bernard Chamber of Commerce. They were selling stolen goods.They were hard to catch because Doolin was hiding behind them.I was in charge of the Merchant Guild, so I could do it.

"Ha! That's it for today.Thank you, Knight Cor.Back off. "

What the hell was that?It wasn't just a farce to arrest Doolin.It suits weird stuff.

"Can I go home?

Ask the civilian uncle.

No, Mr. Ko, please come here.

They can't go home yet. As he proceeded as he was guided, he was taken to the usual room where the king waited.

"Thank you very much.Sit down. "

"I don't have to tell you to sit down... but don't let me hang out with this weird farce.I'll charge you hourly. "

"Mh... sorry.I don't want to doubt them, but there are others who won't be convinced if I don't.Arresting a nobleman is really troublesome. "

The king answered at will.Apparently it was necessary as a procedure to apprehend the nobles.

Well, if you can even get a reward.

"Hmm. This time, there's a reward for Luna and Lily in addition to the money we promised."

Luna and Lily were working with the Magic Institute and soldiers on a separate matter.I had nothing to do with you because it was different from the request I received.

"Oh, that's none of my business. Negotiate directly with them."

"Huh? Can I come with you?

Luna panicked to deny it, but the two of them took the job personally.It is strange for me to accept it.

"No, no, that's not going to happen.It's just the two of us working with the Magic Institute.Can I have a hundred gold coins?

"What? It's too expensive...."

When Luna pinched her voice, the king shouted loudly.

"No, that's fine.100 gold coins, I understand. "

"It's so quick and helpful. 100 pieces per person, 200 pieces in total."

"Nh...! No...."

Hey, where's the brawl?

"Hey, it's nice that the King is fat.It's amazing. "

"Mhh... there are no more words!Let's pay 200 pieces in total!

Are you feeling a little burned?Well, I'll take what I can get.

"Pay them both directly.Separate from party rewards. "

"I know. And as a reward to Ko."

Let's go first.I intercepted the king's words.

"You recovered all the stolen goods, didn't you?And arrest the mastermind.I'd also like to put that on.There are a lot of people involved, so I can discount them a little. "

"... are you going to charge everyone who took part in the auction?

"Huh? You're not gonna pay me?You struggled to get enough information for all the participants?Seriously? "

The original plan was to have 100 pieces of information about the bandits, 200 about the masterminds, and 50 pieces per person involved.In addition, there are 20 additional investigation fees, additional information fees, and stolen goods collection rewards.As we look at the auction, the stolen item collection reward alone will be hundreds.

If properly calculated, I think this reward will probably be more than 3,000 gold coins.This is just too much for me. I wish I had about 1,000 sheets.

"Yeah! All right, all right!However!! All rewards add up to 1500 Gold Coins!I can't let you out any more!

Oh, it's more expensive than I thought.Accept.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with mine.Luna and Lily together make a total of 1,700 pieces. "

"No... eh?Together.... "

"Hmm? Did you say something?

Oh, are you going to say 1500 pieces for Luna and the others?Your negotiation is over, so you can't think about it together.

"No, it's fine.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The King spilled the truth.This has been a huge search because the cloth with the royal coat of arms was too bad.Without this, I would have asked the Adventurer Alliance to end the crusade.

In that case, only the rewards paid to the Adventurer Alliance and the rewards for collecting stolen goods will be spent in the country.At best, it should have been a few hundred gold coins.I'm sorry to hear that.I feel a little sympathetic.

"Well, the biggest reason was to let an idiot nobleman wander around.It's a mistake. "

"My ears hurt... don't tease me like that"

"I'm not going to blame you.Everyone will. "

I wonder why Doolin aimed for a royal crest.Probably in good shape, but I wouldn't have gotten caught without it.I knew it was stupid.

"I've had a hard time with Kor.You can go home now. "

"Ah, let me do that.I'll come back for the reward, so get ready.Goodbye. "

Seventeen thousand gold coins should not be readily available.It's a big job just to count.I don't want to wait, so I'm going home.

Hmm... it's all over now.I am satisfied with the rewards.You'll be fine even if you rest for a while.But I feel like I forgot something...

Ah! I didn't take Irvin to Stolen City!Well, I forgot to ask.I forgot so far because I didn't hear from Mr. Bonanza.I should make it up to you somewhere.
