A few hours more than when Kate captured the smuggler who was in charge of cigarette smuggling. For some reason, the kites finally even went to the pirates - they flew the airship because it was still a long way to catch up if you ask them - so they were supposed to capture it, but by the time they were done, it was already night.

"Ha... I'm tired..."

"Hmmm... we shouldn't just go with the nori and momentum on the spot..."

Like Kate, Tina agrees with her tired face. After we caught the pirates, we handed them over to the army, and things got worse. It is also natural to be tired.

"My... where can I get my soft tits..."

"Here -"

"Wow."

"What are you doing, lords?"

Tina asks half-eyed against Kite, who was hugged from Aura and buried in her face in that big chest. Apparently, kite was pretty tired of kite too.

"Sister brother skinship"

"I'm not kidding you like this. It's so funny... even so... haha..."

Kate took a deep sigh of relief at the information she eventually got. Apparently, after all, this case was not one that ends in the Empire's domestic territory. From what I hear from the pirates' parents, they're not the only ones moving, and some organizations seem to be moving. It was only by chance that Kate and the others perceived this sea route, and that some of it was carried by air.

Of course, you can't give me more details than my client just because I'm a close relative of the Pirates. Naturally, I don't know where this cigarette is manufactured. They are illegal. It's with disposable pawns. That said, it was not without proof nevertheless.

"They're more of a smuggler than pirates, too. I'm glad I caught every ship."

"Uhm. Marisia Kingdom. What the hell?"

Apparently, it was just after closing the deal with the merchant ship. They would have thrown in the smuggled goods that would have been thrown away further away. The box was left intact.

And the box was properly marked with a national representation. As a general rule, when exporting abroad, the flag of the exporting country is to be shown in the box of shipments. If you are investigated on the road or under any circumstances, you will be forcibly confiscated without it. It was necessary to avoid exposure on the road.

"It's a middle-sized country to the south... can we see that as the origin?"

"Bye... Now, what do we do..."

"We'll be watching for a few days and other moves, waiting for information from Salia and the others, right?

"I think that's a good idea."

Tina clearly agrees with Kate. As such, the kites dragged their tired bodies back to their homes.

Okay, then a few days. Kate had a meeting at the Duke's residence saying it was time to check the information once.

"And so you say. The details are unclear, but the information is too complicated to be handled now?"

Salia reports a compilation of extraordinary information. Now, it turns out that the cigarette that was spreading on McDawell's territory came out of a medium-sized country called the Kingdom of Macilia, but it's been a little difficult to navigate since then. Because they say there's one problem.

"Some of the army is revolting, hey..."

With a little surprise, Kate turns her thoughts on the report from Salia. Well, if I knew the source of the exporter, it was their share later. He was getting information from a network in the Kingdom of Macilia.

That said, apparently there are nobles or parts of the military involved in this project, and on top of that, there are land patterns and detailed information has not yet been obtained. but instead, one piece of information was in.

"You know where it is?

"Yes, you do...... southern Marisia Kingdom. deep in the mountains in the territory of a certain lord."

"Well, it's a reasonable place."

This is illegal cultivation. Therefore, it cannot be cultivated in a proper place. When it does, it will be grown secretly away or deep in some building. And as much as I can export. The latter will inevitably not be possible. When it did, it was well thought out that there was indeed a part of the military involved.

"Hmm... that's where I want to smash you"

"I guess... so I brought you some deafening information."

Hearing Kate whine, Salia presents a further report.

"One of the alleged masterminds involved in this case has been picked."

"Well... that's good news"

"Yeah...... I'd like to say how you got away with it. Apparently, the lord was persuaded immediately, but refused to do so. He led his own fleet, along with some soldiers, to escape."

"That's too bad."

Kite is not particularly discouraged by the follow-up from Salia, but puts her shoulder down as a pose. It's not unusual. And after this, the adventurers will be called, and the crusade will take place.

"Well, please wait... so naturally the army has turned to the chase. So, it looks like some soldiers were unaware of anything. They say there was a rebellion inside, fatally damaged the engine section, and crashed into a mountain near that tobacco field."

Salia communicates information from local informants to Kite. Apparently, the worst of what had escaped had itself been avoided. That's why Salia continued the status quo.

"And that's about the end of last week, I see. Now around that airship, we set up a formation. Condition of confusion near the tobacco field. It looks like other airships managed to push in one battle... but we haven't settled yet."

"That means"

"That's what you mean. Naturally, the adventurers have heard from you."

Salia smiles and makes clear what Kate sees ahead. Naturally, though he escaped, some of them were soldiers of the army. If so, it's hard to fight the soldiers in the army.

Especially since they're taking over the ship. If they crash you, and even the Magic Furnace is safe, you can use the Magic Gun. It's no different than a simple fortress. If so, it would be in an adhesive state for a while. Besides, there were still a few bad things going on.

"And the bad news is... how you were a little strong about this rebellious mastermind. I was originally a general called Marisia's hero..."

"Don't you know what you're doing back there,"

"That's what you mean. A nobleman's investigation found some evidence of fraud in his mansion and reports of cigarette leaves."

"Hmm... when it comes to plausible stories, is it plausible..."

I don't know to what extent this mastermind was in this position, but I'm guessing he was at one end of the spectrum in the military. If so, it is inevitable that fraud can be concealed or smuggled. It could also be a total tightening. And that's the kite we were talking about, but that's where Salia pinched her mouth just a little bit.

"That said... Thank you. This project stinks."

"Something bothering you?

"Yep. Since the discovery of this case, I've been investigating it in some detail... but it's possible that there are still some other nobles involved. Probably with you if you say no."

"Oh no... that's a hassle"

Kite laughs with pleasure. Perhaps it is the thoughts of those nobles that make this general so far cornered. In other words, it's with the lizard tail cut. I rubbed all of my sins on this guy, and that's why. Possibly.

"That means"

"Right...... I was wondering if Darling should go and burn it down directly. If the aristocrats are the culprits, there's no point in turning them down."

Salia concludes. This is going to be a rough case. But I can't sit back and watch the contraband coming to me on the boulder.

That said, there is no definite evidence anywhere to put pressure on the diplomatic route as an empire. Pirate loads and that's what the port facility staff will do if they say so.

We needed to grasp the evidence that the nobles were involved. That's why Kate slammed her desk and spoke to a communications machine connected to a certain place. It was originally a story I knew was out of the country. With routes outside the country in the Empire, there was no way he was not involved.

"And so I say... Grandpa. Is the diplomatic route okay?

'Ha. Hmm... it's going to be a lot of fun. "

"It's gonna be funny."

Kate agrees with the words of Lord Heisenberg, Jake, laughing. Naturally, there's nothing I can do about this in a way that I can get out of touch with. If so, then the great things will inevitably be dealt with from behind.

"You need to make an appointment with that general."

'Let's make contact... what are you not going to do?

"I'll be there in a minute. Before the noble gesture, let us grasp the evidence. That's why I want to hold the nobleman's roots."

'Um... well, if you get it, take it. Let's hold the root from here'

Jake, Lord Heisenberg, articulates with the same face in Kate's words. The Empire of Entesia is the greatest power on this continent. If it's about a middle-sized country, if you have evidence, you can put pressure on it.

Besides, this case is a cigarette. This is a project that could be turned against by fairies and elves in the country as well as the Kingdom of Marisia. If you are threatened with that by a story from a big country, you will have to move with the country on a boulder. If only we could hold down the root, there was a chance we could turn down the root.

"Ohhhhhh... then you have a few things you need"

Kite gets up to speed and get ready. The next person I heard from was the Liddell family. Originally, this project was moving ahead. If so, it would be a good idea to rendezvous with you.

"Lord Liddell. Long time no see."

"Oh... may the brave man run errands?"

"Oh, we've decided on this motion in the meantime."

"Can I tell you something?

"Oh. That's why I contacted you."

In response to Lord Liddell's request from Iris, Kate will tell him what was decided at the earlier meeting. So she nodded where she heard what Kate had to do after she had told her all about it.

"Oh... if that's the case, let's treat the adventurer we set out for"

"Adventurer?

"Yes, you've met the brave man," he reports.

Nico and Lord Liddell. Illis makes it clear. And when that happens, there's only one person that came to mind for Kite.

"No way...... an adventurer named Olgamarie?

'That's right. She has a good nose. "

"I see... you went to Count Reames' because you thought cigarettes were being smuggled there"

Kate understands why Olgamarie was in Count Reames territory. If that's true, you should go to Count Reames.

It's been the last few months that I've begun to reorganize. Security is not yet fully restored, and some darkness remains. No wonder tobacco may be grown.

But unfortunately, even the outlaws haven't grown cigarettes here in a long time. Next to McDawell territory. I look out for cigarettes more than anywhere else. It was too dangerous for the criminals.

"Okay. Get in touch with her and work with the Union"

'Please do so. Well, I'll leave it all to you now. Contact us if you need assistance. Let His Majesty play it here too.'

Apparently, the Liddell family decided to pull the rice cake when they saw that it was going to be rough. Nevertheless, I guess that doesn't mean doing anything, but providing backward support.

"Please...... Kuzha. Send a message to the Branch Manager and ask him to prepare some paperwork necessary for the payment of counterfeit cards, the setting up of false guilds, and an internal investigation. The Union and the spread of cigarettes should be something we want to avoid. You'll get help."

"Yes, I did. What about your brother?

"I'm going to get the adventure department ready. I can't move this case to the Duke's house."

Kite rises to Kuzha's inquiry. In the meantime, this project cannot be done publicly. We're going to stick our necks in other countries' rubbing, and then we're going to take evidence of wrongdoing from other countries. If you find out, it's a big diplomatic problem.

Of course, the cigarette will be exposed and the other side will be heavily bashed. That said, this is the story of the political world. As long as we get the evidence, we can do anything later.

You won't want to rub it with the Kingdom of Marisia and the majority of the five dukes of the Empire. It is very painful, especially when the McDawell family found out about the cigarettes. Top of the list is Kuzha from High Elf, where he even stays with Yuri the Fairy. Cigarettes are deadly. If you sit back - worst of all, even the Great Spirits - you have no choice but to observe that it damages your mind very much.

"Good... then let's divide it over the next few days and decide a few things in detail. Kuzha, you stay here and take command of the whole thing. In case, Aura, ask you."

"Yes, sir."

"Ooh."

Kuzha bows her head and Aura raises her hand. You can't get close to Kuzha when you get cigarettes on the rabbit or in the corner. She is High Elf. I hung it on Kite's ticket, and I couldn't get close.

In the first place, it's because of her that Kate is putting her back so far. It is the end of the fall. As such, Kate decided to go back to the Adventure Department once and get the necessary hands in order.
