Episode 4-2 Into Marquis Terre des Grands

One raucous afternoon, which approached less than two weeks before the due date for being summoned to the Marquis of Gramp. We got in the carriage and left for the Grand Prix.

By the way, the ride was designed by me and Alice without weight.

Tattoo magic allows for better temperature regulation, enhances suspension around, and tires use materials close to rubber to reduce shaking. It has become quite a comfortable carriage compared to the conventional one.

There are five of us in that carriage: me, Claire. Hey, Alice, Sophia, and Tina. In addition, there are six knights who work as escorts outside the carriage.

... Is that it?

Me and Claire from the party. Hey. Tina is here as a student representative to Sofia, who plans to support her with grace. Besides, I know the knights of the escort...

"Hey, Alice? Why are you here with me?

"... hey, haven't you been treating me badly lately?

I was stunned with my eyes.

"Just kidding. Just kidding. I just thought it would be safe if Alice protected the school."

"The school is protected by the Knights, so it's okay."

"Well, it is. I've been away for quite a while, so I was wondering if you were worried. In that regard, Alice would take care of the ad hoc, wouldn't she?

"... Rion's fool. Then you won't be seeing Lion for nearly a month. I... don't want to see someone I love so much."

"-"

Are you kidding me? Your eyes are a little too powerful!

Easy, easy. Me.

It's okay. This is in the carriage. There's Sophia and Claire. Hey and Tina in the seat across the street. Sweet air can't last in this situation.

"Hey, hey, Claire, sister, is that the right way to go?

"Yes, it is. A girl who is usually blushing says she doubles her power when she shows her unintentionally weak side."

"You'll learn"

Stop it. Okay, why are you touring!? And then, Tina, you're gonna learn, aren't you? I don't know who you're going to use it against, but definitely don't manipulate them because they'll be in trouble!

"... Lion?

"Oh, it was my fault already. I was just worried about school. I'd be happier if Alice followed me."

"Phew, good."

Totally, I laughed happily. How serious are you?

"Master Lion, may I have a moment?

A woman's voice accidentally arrives from outside the carriage. A red-haired lady knight, who was on the escort when she saw it, was walking with her own horse across the carriage.

"Is there a problem?

"No. So far the surroundings have been calm and not a problem. I just haven't said hello yet."

"That's a face I wouldn't look at if I said so."

"Yes, this time from Master Claire Riddill, I rested on the captain of the escort unit. My name is Elsa. See you later."

"Heh, you're still young, but you're amazing. Nice to meet you."

When I said that, Elsa gave me a slightly surprising look.

"What's wrong with you?

"Oh no. Because I thought it would be disturbing because of my age and gender."

"You can't even talk about me or Claire when it comes to age. But the gender..."

And I send Alice my gaze.

"Well, is she strong?

"You're a spiritual magician. Even if a thief or something strikes, if you leave it to Alice, it's instant murder."

"Heh, that's comforting. But it's our job to escort you to your destination. Please leave the battle to us."

"I'll count on you then.... but does this neighborhood come out with demons or something?

"It's a street, so demons won't be the first to come out. But sometimes thieves come out."

"A thief..."

"Don't worry about it. There are no thieves attacking carriages escorted by knights."

Don't say that. It's a line.

- A week later. We were surrounded by about twenty bandits in the mountainous area of Gramp territory.

...... yeah. I felt like a flag.

"If you don't want to be killed, leave the golden-eyed thing!

"You, my Earl of Granchez, are you a wolf to know!

"Then it's outrageous! Leave the golden-eyed thing behind because it's good!

"Come on, is there no room for negotiation?... you guys! Never let the thief near the carriage!

Under Elsa's command, five of his men will form formations to protect the carriage.

"Hey, Elsa? Could it be tough?

I look out of the carriage and ask Elsa.

"Master Lion!? Don't show your face, you'll be targeted with a bow!

"Oh yeah. Be careful. Or do you?

"Don't worry! Whether it's our last ride or not, I will definitely show you through Master Lion!

It was such a pinch.

"That willingness is splendid... but no, it's splendid, which is why I'm in trouble for you to die here. So... can I take care of half of it?

I jump off the carriage and turn my gaze towards Alice.

"You'll be fine in all directions. Is it good to catch him alive?

"Uh, yeah.... and capture all directions alive by yourself?

When she wondered what to do, Alice flipped herself over and jumped into the front of the carriage.

"Listen, bandits!

Alice exclaimed softly, turning as she did with the kurli.

At that moment, a visualized blade of wind was released in all directions - Yikes!? You're an animal when I tell you to listen!?

Even though I thought so, the wind blade released by Alice harvested all the surrounding trees. But without hurting anyone as one.

"" "............ hehe?

The bandits, left behind in a better looking space, open their mouths in awkwardness. And as I understand the situation, its face turns pale at the same time.

"My body will say goodbye up and down when I try to escape. If you resist, your whole body will be wiped out of charcoal. Drop your weapons and kneel."

- All surrendered.

... No, yeah. I'm good with demonstrations to incite fear and surrender.... Is it good that the elves destroy naturally?

Oh, is it okay because you're human in your previous life, is it?

"Um... Master Lion. Is Alice the... legendary brave man or something?

Elsa asks with a grumpy face.

"That's Alice Cheat, so not if you care"

"Ha ha..."

"More than that, capture the surrendered bandits. I want to talk to you."

"Oh, yeah, I was. Excuse me, immediately! - Hang a rope on the bandits, you guys!

Elsa, who returned to me, gave instructions to his men and quickly tied up the bandits.

"Now, who are your leaders?

Ask toward a bunch of bandits lined up in bondage. After a slight silence, one man raised his name.

"You're the leader of the bandits."

"What would you say if it were?

"No, I was just wondering if I could talk to you for a second. I told you earlier when the knight named our family name, 'If it was, it would be miserable’. Tell me what that means."

Is it even more so if you are a nobleman or if you are a Count of Granchez, then the meaning will change completely.

"... If you're going to do me a favor, you can answer the question."

"- You know where you stand!

Elsa absurds her voice.

Elsa, I'll take care of this.

"But... no, if that's what Master Lion says"

I see Elsa take a step back and I turn my gaze to the bandits again.

"What do you mean, please? You can't even ask me to let you get away with it, can you?

"I know. That's why I want you to kill whoever you want here."

"... may I ask why?

"If they were going to kill me anyway, I just wanted to die without suffering"

If I thought what you meant, Elsa told me that if a thief was caught, he would become a criminal slave and be put to work in a harsh environment until he died.

"I understood the saying. But knowing that much, how did you become a thief?

"That's decided because I couldn't have lived without it! The Marquis of Gramp took root food from our village!

Summarizing the words of the spitting bandit leader as a result of his grievances, he said they lived in a nearby village until recently.

However, the last few years have been characterized by continuing mishaps and tough tax payments.

As usual, they lowered their taxes, but this time they demanded the usual taxes and stopped walking away, making them bandits.

By the way, what you're saying is probably true, as a prior investigation has looked into the fact that the gramp area was imperfect.

So when I say ‘exaggerated’ earlier, I guess it means nobility.

But...

"Was it all the villages where taxes were traditionally demanded?

"No, at least I hear the next village got their taxes lowered. We were probably... abandoned."

"Right..."

No, are you sure about that? A group of people who were charged unpaid taxes and fell into the thieves were just in our passage?

... Isn't it a little too much to do by chance? No, but you can't hit me for it. Besides, it wouldn't crush the village for exactly that reason.

Then, like the Spiels did, knights disguised as thieves...

"Let me ask you something, you're not actually a knight, are you?

"... what are you talking about?

The bandits behead.... This reaction sounds different.

Is that really just a coincidence? Or is it a Grand Marquis ploy or something?

...... uhh. Patrick would likely do it... but I don't really know the character of Marquis Gramp. Evaluations are both extreme and have no grasp.

"You guys, answer my questions honestly from now on. You've attacked people before?

"Ah, ah. I attacked about two pairs of caravans."

"Mmm... so you killed him?

"No, only half of the hardware I took, so no one should be dead"

Why do you think half of it is because if you take all the goods from the merchant squad, it is the same reason to kill the merchant.

No, well, I guess because I have to take it away and it's the result of a shake in the middle of guilt... I don't know, this half feeling.

I'm not a root bad guy, but it's hard to judge to say that sin is a solid offense.

"I can't believe you're not lying to that word, are you?

"Which one of us is destined to be corrupted by criminal slavery remains the same. I won't lie to you like that."

"Hmm, is that what you say?"

I ask for the look on the faces of the others, showing a convincing bare gesture. But it doesn't seem like you're lying to me.

This would be... extenuating circumstances, I guess.

"I'll give you three options. One is to die without suffering here, as you wish, and the second is to be corrupted by criminal slavery, as usual. And the third is to live as a criminal slave in my territory."

"... what's the third difference between being a criminal slave normally?

"Engraving the engraving of the slave covenant remains unchanged. It's just that the standard of living is like a normal slave... no, maybe it'll be a better environment than the village you lived in?

Once the engraving of the slave covenant is engraved, the slave is basically irresistible to his master. That's why I don't work in harsh environments... but I'm not going to use it like that.

"You think you're a criminal slave who can live better than a villager? There can't be such an environment. You're gonna trick us into doing this!

"No, it's true... oh yeah, Tina. Can you come out here for a second?

Speak up to the carriage. In no time, Tina was surprised to get off the carriage.

"Sorry, you're scared to get out in front of a bandit."

"Yes, no. If I can help you, Master Lion, I'll be fine."

"Thank you, then come here."

I'll put Tina in line and turn back to the bandits.

"You guys, look at this girl. What do you think?

"Oh? You're a nobleman's maid or something, right? Or even say it with some princess?

"Both are off. Tina is a civilian girl."

"... civilians, you say? Is that how it looks? Could it be your favorite or something?"

"No -"

The moment I tried to say it wasn't like that, I felt Tina's gaze and closed her mouth. What's that, the way you expect it to look?

"Ahhh.... Tina is certainly my favorite though"

The moment I said that, I think Tina next door made a gnarly fist grip, but through.

I keep talking to the bandits.

"That's not why she's dressed. There are dozens of kids like this in our territory."

"You're incredible. Even if that's the case in the first place, there must be a big opening for civilians and slaves to deal with."

"But this girl, she was a slave, wasn't she?

"... Huh? Ugh, bullshit."

"It's true. I was saved by Master Lion after being sold out of mouth. And that's not just me. Master Lion is kind enough to reach out to everyone."

"... seriously?

"Yes, Master Lion is the best lord"

- Everyone cried at me wanting to go to Granchez territory.
