Sword of Glutton Princess

Lesson 26: Robbery

I can't follow up with a complete understanding of what's going on.

Largin Chamber of Commerce Chairman's Hall was hit by a burning robbery...?

"... the chairman, Lagore Largin, his wife and daughter, his men and servants... all who were in the hall were said to have been killed. I just overheard it, so I don't know if it's true yet..."

That's what Mani said as he bit his lower lip.

I turn to Garlock's arrangement.

It said he was suspected of being involved in a robbery and was attacked by a general soldier in the military.

"Duh, what do you mean? Why... the president of the Largin Chamber of Commerce has been killed... and Mr. Garlock, who is supposed to be a subordinate, is a suspect in that...?

Garlock was not the kind of person who worked the robbery.

Also, that shouldn't have been necessary.

He was the leader of the Black Wolves, so he should have received quite a bit of money.

Wasn't this culprit "Leticia the Fire Hell Princess" in the first place?

Leticia and Garlock were working together, or what?

"You're making a mistake... there's no way this is happening"

I'm losing my head.

Whatever the circumstances, Garlock shouldn't be the one to do that.

The Power Pride Hunting Grounds deliberately took the trouble to give us advice, and when I bumped into the fang ghost Auga, I prioritized the safety of my men over myself.

There's no way he's dyed a hand in such a crime when he says it's only been a few days since then.

"... you seem to be in a lot of trouble."

Belzevute's voice echoes.

"There's no way Mr. Garlock is the killer. I'm sure there's something wrong. I'm just confused."

But even so, it's odd that you've been engaged with a general soldier in the military.

There's no way Garlock didn't know what would happen if he pointed a demon at his military opponent.

If a robbery and murder using magic took place in the city with the military, you should want to solve it as soon as possible.

It's hard to think of treating important reference people without...

"Was it at a chamber of commerce that supported a previous gathering of adventurers?

"Ah, oh. I was just supporting the Gumdon Death Squad."

I snorted at Belzevute's words.

So I remembered thinking with Mani at the time that the Ragin Chamber of Commerce was probably the reason he didn't move the Black Wolves during the Grey Order uproar, because he was afraid to make a stand and move and get eyes on them from the military.

In the end it was crushed without a great deal of noise before the army's surrounding preparations, but it is an act of crushing the face of the army that the gathering of adventurers solves an important part of the city that the army did not move.

It shouldn't have been an unlikely story that if the voice of dissatisfaction had been louder, it would have caused the exorcist's firing to fly.

Many of the adventurers should have expected that, and thought that was the main reason for the support of the Largin Chamber of Commerce.

"No way, as retaliation, the army took the chairman's mansion...?

This was followed by questions on my mind.

The Adventurer Guild had been urging vigilance that there had been sightings of "Princess Leticia of Fire Hell" for a long time... was that true?

The Adventurer Alliance is just like subcontracting an army.

If the army tells you to publish it, it is up to you to obey it in silence.

Would it be inconceivable that the sighting of "Princess Leticia of Fire Hell" was previously orchestrated to mislead the robbery uproar?

As a matter of fact, everyone is aware that the house of the president of the largest chamber of commerce in the city of Romaburg was all in the killing, but that there may be more "Princess Leticia of Fire" in the city than that.

"Dean, you should lose your voice. That could be a problem if someone asks. The Alliance's staff are close to the army."

"Wah, bad, mani"

Did your voice get louder?

I look around and make sure no one sees me.

"... and I think you're just overthinking it. Sure, they're tyrannical and mean, but you understand that if we do too much, we'll be in a bad position. I don't think they're going to kill us all because we've been a little hostile."

Says Mani as he lurks his voice.

... Sure, maybe that's true.

The army cares thoroughly about pre-construction.

It's hard to imagine imitating a demonic labyrinth where evidence disappears into the dark, but just because the army doesn't care, it immediately goes into the exercise of force.

But... but more than that, I can't believe Garlock worked the crime.

I don't even think Garlock pointed a demon conductor at a soldier without thinking.

"Of course, I don't think Mr. Garlock made the case either. However, this matter may be a lot more complicated than we think. Besides... I don't think this case should ever be involved"

…………

I know what Mani is trying to say.

It is not known whether the army has extended to direct assault.

Maybe it's the result of some sort of overlapping misfortune, or maybe there's more than one incident involved.

However, in some circumstances, Garlock was embedded in the army.

But... there are nearly a hundred soldiers in this city of Romaburg alone.

The size is completely different from the gray denomination.

Besides, the army is the power of the country itself.

Think outside the city, the size of the army will expand indefinitely.

Around ten magic captains in the city of Romaburg are all Hyodor and Heydal-like magic conductors.

There's no way you're gonna beat us if you're gonna get involved in this.

But...... Garlock is now in the wings of making military men all over the city of Romaburg by himself.

"... you've got dark air. Look, it looks like Mr. Edda's here, too. In the meantime, why don't you join her?

"Yeah, right."

I turn to the door.

Edda was anxiously walking around in a disturbing air adventurer's guild.

When I walked out to Edda, I saw a grey uniform near the guild's entrance.

I stopped by accident.

"Whoa, as always, there are a lot of stink-faced foolish pictures here. Of course. It's an adventurer's guild, because it's a stash for them who didn't have any talent."

It was Kanvya, the magic captain.

He grinned uncomfortably, looking lightly at his own moustache with his fingers.

Following him, five general soldiers show up.
