"Wait a minute"

As Mr. Tolfin broke the seal of the letter and tried to check its contents, there were those who raised their hands to try to stop the act.

"The eagles asked me to do this until I gave you a letter. I don't even want to know what's written there."

Oh, whoa. What Ray says is perfectly true, but I'm a little concerned about the contents of the letter.

Originally, the Duran himself, or the user, was supposed to give the letter, but it became impossible and the emperor himself managed to deliver it. What exactly is written in it?

"Give me the reward for just delivering the letter. I'll be home soon."

To her strong words, Mr. Tolfin nodded honestly.

"Of course, I'm going to. Master Duran gave me some money to put together beforehand. You just can't give him the reward without checking the letter, can you?

Even if the wax mark and the dot are real, it is best to check the contents and then pay for it.

Having read the contents of the letter at first reading, Ms. Tolfin burned the finished letter early with candlestick fire.

As he sits silently on the couch, he puts the bag he took out of his nose on the table.

"That's the reward. Take it."

There were dozens of gold coins in the bag that were just dazzling.

Somehow, I can't believe you're really getting a lot of money for just this much work.

"... I advise you one thing, if you don't want to get into trouble, you should be smart"

What whined about the noise was Mr. Tolfin sinking into the couch.

"... but to be honest, I'm interested in what was written in that letter."

"At least, curiosity isn't the only thing we should be involved in. Mihasa asked you to do this until you gave me this letter, didn't she? I'd be curious, considering the circumstances in which you got your request."

I would also care if you personally stepped out the window at a party to celebrate the Emperor's engagement.

I found out once again that the emperor and minister are not friendly about this one, but if you get engaged to some sort of minister's son, the emperor's voice is going to get weaker and weaker.

"Well, maybe that's not the wrong idea"

Mr. Tolfin nodded honestly at it, too.

"Uh, can't you let Mihasa resign the minister under her authority or something?

Rim speaks peacefully and boldly. If the emperor is in the right and absolute hands of power, I guess that's possible, too.

"That's hard. The minister is such a heavy town that he has consolidated the ground since the days of the former emperor. Master Mihasa is wise, but he has few allies in the palace. As we were talking about now, engaging Andel, the minister's son, would make it even harder to use those powers. Either way, it's not like you adventurers are going to stick your neck in any more."

Mr. Tolfin turns his hand to invite him to the exit door.

"Well, I've done my errands already. You better forget about today."

If they cut the conversation like that, there's nothing I can say from here.

"Hey, one last question, don't you suspect the eagles are ministers or something? Looks like you trusted me a lot."

Hmm. I guess these kinds of pointers are what I'm supposed to do.

I myself am surprised by the state of affairs that has left it all to the girl.

We need to work harder.

"The wax was indeed real. Besides, if you're under the minister's command, you don't have to bother delivering the letter. Assuming you're going to destroy an obscure remnant like me, you won't have to listen to me like this to kill or kidnap him."

"... yes"

He's not going to say anything more, either, Ray.

"Bye."

We said goodbye to Mr. Tolfin and left the tavern behind.

"Your husband. Are you worried about something?

A city full of tranquillity at night, a lime that had ever been simulated in an unspeakable hat, moved to her shoulders as she stretched her nuzzly soft body.

- I take the Heavenly Green Stone necklace from the Emperor and look at it often.

The girl who came down from the sky then swallowed this one's demands, which are now rather unscrupulous to think of.

Until then when it comes to her being stuffed with cutting feathers.

However, consideration means a reward commensurate with labor, and a packed bag of gold coins that is lowered to the waist is enough for the cost of delivering the letter.

I'm not that greedy either.

"Hey, I got too much..."

I won't say it was great until I solved all the problems the emperor has, but I think there's something a little more I can't do.

Nevertheless, if you don't know the inside of the other side, you can't even move.

Not that I don't have wild horse guts either, but in that sense, I wanted to hear more about it.

but Mr. Tolfin and Ray are probably right in saying that you shouldn't stick your neck in any more.

"If you care, I'll go out with you, too, okay?

It was the rim that was walking side by side that gave me a voice to myself thinking about it stuffily.

The uncontrolled smile dazzled me and I almost snorted, but I don't want to get Rim into anything as dangerous as possible.

No matter how much you have gained in combat by hosting your Serious Crimes skills.

"I'm telling you, I'm not getting involved with eagles any more. Because it's absolute."

There's no point in Ray saying this either.

Because they caution me not to stick my neck in so much trouble.

"Nothing, you haven't said anything yet"

Then don't look at me.

Oops... Something just pissed me off with my gaze.

Well, tomorrow is still the second day of the engagement ritual, and Tiamo's escort is scheduled to continue. Once that's done, Tiamo will take his men back to Amorphas, so it's up to him to decide what to do.

- Thus, the day when the emperor had the surprise of coming down from the sky, the curtain was to be put down safely.

◇◇◇◆◆◆◇◇◇

For some time after Sage and the others left the tavern, Tolfin was also walking through the city at night.

"It didn't feel like that adventurer was lying... but you'd be really surprised if the emperor came down from the sky. Well... you mean you're so cornered."

Truffin that Duran was killed and was moving on that order may also be targeted for his life by the ministers.

In that sense, he won't be able to afford it either.

A voice was thrown from the dark corner against Tolfin, who was walking vigilantly around him.

"... I finally found you, Torphin"

It was the woman with the dagger already in her hands who looked loose.

"That's a mess."

Torphin also pulls out the sword he had on his hips against his opponent, who hits him with a kill intent he has nothing to hide.

"My life isn't the only purpose, is it? But I'm sorry to hear that. It's a different leg."

"You!

The woman grabs the dagger and drives to reduce her distance from Torphin at once.

A sounding metal sound.

The sword strike is so fast and sharp that it doesn't seem to be rolled out of a woman's slender arms.

"And take..."

Having managed to avoid a blow blurring his neck, Tolfin managed to outrun his opponent's onslaught while about to roll to the ground.

"Shibuya Tsukuba..."

"Well, I don't want to die either. Desperately...... will!

That's what Tolfin said, throwing something like an elongated needle at the target.

"Knock..."

Don't miss the slight gap created by tapping off the needle in the flying dark vessel, and Tolfin moves toward the woman.

Her body slightly tore off the woman's skin and a splash of blood scattered over the cobblestone at her feet.

"To this extent..."

"No... that's it"

A woman's body, full of temper, not even minor injuries, immediately began to crack and cramp and collapsed from her knees like a powerless doll.

"... with my specially formulated paralysis pills. I can't move one finger for a while. I can manage to talk."

Tolfin sticks his sword down the throat of a falling woman.

The woman staring at me raised her voice interruptedly.

"Why?"

"Hmm...?

"Why... did you betray me? Because of you, Master Duran."

- A moment of silence.

The unpleasant sound of gagging.

A sharp sword tip penetrated his skin and smashed his throat bone.

Tolfin quietly looks down at the woman who spits out blood bubbles and turns into an unspeakable corpse in tears.

"... I didn't betray anything else. From the beginning."

As such, Tolfin turned his foot to the Imperial Palace in the heart of the city and remembered his words, which he said to the adventurers who delivered the letter.

"Are there few allies of the emperor...? You're right."

After brutally pulling the sword out of the woman's wreckage, wipe the blood and tuck it in the sheath.

Those boys can't be ministers.

Because...

"Well... and report to Mr. Gilbaran."

- The Imperial Palace, in the Minister's private room.

There are still quite a few people in the Great Hall, but this far away indoor is a quiet one.

"... well done. Damn, the decorative emperor needs to be grown up without thinking about it. Whatever you do, I want you to realize it's on my hands."

It is Gilbaran, Minister of the Suaven Empire, who is in front of Tolfin, who is breaking his knee and drooling his head.

Whether the interior, where luxurious decoration stands out, is the result of an endless attempt to satisfy vanity, the term "flamboyant luxury" fits perfectly.

Gilbaran himself is an ugly body filled with greed...... not that it will firmly express itself as an ambitious old man.

"By the way... about the adventurers who helped the Emperor, but who are they?

"I checked my guild card and I was a high ranking adventurer. It's coincidence that the Emperor asked me to... What shall we do?

"Duran is gone, and the engagement ritual between my son Andel and the Emperor is well under way. It feels very good to carry things exactly as I've drawn them."

Gilbaran tells Tolfin as he tries to satisfy himself with his fingers at the beard in his mouth.

"... let him swim for a while"

An adventurer is a gathering of people who make requests for money.

If you get enough money to be satisfied and you don't do any more extra prying, fine.

If not -
