"Oh, there he is. My head hurts."
"Recovery."
"Oh, it's easier. Sorry, Lecan."
"Oh."
"Lekan, I know very well that you care about Lord Sheila. It seemed a little inconsiderate in the way I said it."
"Oh."
"Even as a weasel, Lord Sheila is important. Someone who's taken care of this town since my father's day. Thanks to you, I was able to clean up the town."
A bastard nobleman like Midosco was executed the other day. Lekan also knows that Sheila was doing something about the discovery of an item that was evidence of a conspiracy.
"The effect of Lord Sheila's medicine is stunning and it has become a sign for pharmacists in this town. Lord Sheila occupies a definite position in this town. I have no idea what I want to do to offend Lord Sheila or make her uncomfortable."
"Oh."
"But I want you to understand that this is important to the town. If you stay in the mood of a messenger from Wang Du, it will not be good for Lord Sheila. It's gonna be hard to live anywhere in this country."
"Right."
"Besides, I don't know what that means, but Master Scarabel seems to be referring to Lord Sheila as his mentor. No, I don't know the truth because it's a rumor, but at least they try to come and see Lord Sheila from scratch. It is a sign of respect and in no way an attempt to harm Lord Sheila"
"I guess so."
"The envoys to be sent to the Chancellor should also be in line with the intentions of Superintendent Scarabel. I am not Lord Sheila's enemy. On the contrary, the will and convenience of Lord Sheila should be respected."
"Could be."
"It is best if you come in peace and return in peace. How about this far?
"Fine."
"Okay. Ask there. When did Lord Sheila leave town? Where'd he go?
"Until late last night, I was instructed in the dispensation by Sheila. When I went this morning, they gave me an earlier letter"
"Passed to you? From who?
It's Jericho.
"Who's Jericho?"
"It's a long-armed monkey. I live with Sheila."
"A monkey? Oh, there he is. My head."
"I don't know where I've been. I am also greatly surprised that Sheila is suddenly gone. To be honest, I'm a little angry."
"Are you angry?
"This is what I thought when I saw the letter addressed to you and found out that you and your deputy had been nominated. That damn bubba, and."
"You and I finally got our point. But, yeah. Were you in this town until late last night? Then I left town after the gate opened this morning. And there's no way we're going out of town on foot that year."
Whether the gate is open or closed, it's probably none of Sheila's business.
The fact that there is no way out on foot is also completely incorrect.
"Captain Tesla!
"Yes."
"Put out a use for the West Gate and the East Gate and let them report the carriage that left this morning. No, not even at the North and South Gates, just in case. Maybe I hitched a ride to the carriage. See if there was a carriage carrying an old lady."
"Ha. I understand."
"If you have a suspicious carriage, it's your responsibility to put out a pursuit. Find out where Lord Sheila is and take her home."
Here the lord turned his gaze toward Lecan.
"No way, Sheila, you're not interrupting our search."
"I can't do that. I also want to know if I know where Sheila went. But as long as Sheila doesn't mind coming out on her own, she can't find out."
"Still, I don't have the option of not looking. At that age. I can't even do the camp. There are only a few places to go. Captain Tesla, go."
"Ha."
"Now, Lecan, the Undersecretary of the Interior and the First Cleric of the Temple of Elex, come to this town for a meeting with Lord Sheila. He told me to make the arrangements. As far as I'm concerned, when you two come, Lord Sheila's not here, I don't know where you've been, etc., and I absolutely don't want to report it."
"Right."
"So by the time you two arrive, I'll be sure to find Lord Sheila. But in the unlikely event of a misfortune, you, the deputy, will deal with both of you."
"Oh."
"If Lord Sheila were to hide in someone's house in this town, whose house would it be?
"I don't know. I'm not familiar with Sheila's friendship. When it comes to Sheila I know, it's about Cheney."
"Is that Cheney? Let's arrange it. And, Lecan."
"What?"
"In the unlikely event that Lord Sheila is not found, I would like you to decide that she disappeared before Washi told her about the letter from the Undersecretary of the Interior. There's no excuse for disappearing knowingly."
"I can't do that."
"What. Why."
"Scarabelle says she's coming to see Sheila, and the two of them are coming for that meeting. Sheila disappeared knowing that. That's Sheila's answer."
"What does that mean?"
"I refused a meeting to meet. I mean, you don't want to see me."
"You think that's allowed!
"That means Sheila still has something to do with Scalabel"
"What?"
"If it's irrelevant, you won't even have to disappear to not see him"
"Mm-hmm. Well, maybe so."
"So I think we should be honest with you that Sheila disappeared knowing the messenger was coming. Listen to that. What Scarabelle thinks is that problem over there."
"Mmm."
"So when are the messengers coming?
"The day after tomorrow. Oh, there he is."
"Recovery."
"Hmm."
"That's a lot steeper."
"Over twenty days ago, that one left King's Capital and is on his way here with meetings with lords everywhere. The itinerary on the way is fluid, so there's only one way to get in touch."
"I told him I'd be here once in advance, and I could tell him the dates later."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa The Undersecretary will never write to the Lord of the Lordless Region again."
