The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Episode 43: Escort and Interrogation

After being captured, as planned, I will be transported to Thurmx early the next morning.

He's just been taken from the Justice Department to the carriage in front of the West Gate. It would also be deliberate, thus, to be softened, for the Lord Curus faction to brush (su) the people that I am a criminal. Is it also an appeal to have both wrists tied with a rope and, among other things, no restraints (broomsticks), or to have their wrists severed by a fair trial? Damn, only cleverly, the guy with the weird head working.

"You coward!!"

"Apologize to the brave!!"

"Don't you know the word" shame "during the important time of the Undead's assault?

"The Fools and their people get out of this Sutherland!!"

I get one curse after another from a wild horse by the road. Well, thanks to my mother-in-law and sisters, I was tolerant and my heart never moved at all.

"You devil!!"

Though civilians and young men have thrown shaking stones, they avoid it without difficulty and hit the head of the soldier in the convoy across the street.

I don't take as much damage as I get stung by a mosquito, but I don't like people as much as I do to relieve the stress of a foolish crowd that is easily deceived.

"Why?!? Because of you, I hit the guard!

When a young man mouths such a rare thing, defamation (hippo) swells up at once. Perhaps this man, Lord Curros' hired Sacrament. It's a piece of dirt in my hand.

After a short journey down Main Street from the center of Sutherland to the east and west, in the middle of the road, Rhina followed a dozen men and women and was queued with disgusting faces. Their gorgeous garments are engraved with a balance and a crest of gold coins to ride on. That is a testament to the executives of commercial guilds.

"No more worthy of such a foolish country. Wait, we'll pick you up."

A dozen men and women lined up behind Rhina, at the same time, correct their posture to Rhina's words, placing their right hand on their chest and drooling their necks (like this).

Occasionally, all those curses scratched off, and everyone was watching us with a pokernel look.

I can't help it. This Sutherland may be the only place in this empire where the power of the Gate nobility is not extended. Instead it is the commercial guild and the luxury merchants from all over the world that dominate the real Sutherland. Because that commercial guild executive is supposed to be a figure on the cloud for what lives in Sutherland.

"I appreciate it, but it's not necessary. I will return to this land on my own."

Lift up the corner of your mouth and tell them that in the end, you can pass by the sides of the liners.

Three days have passed since I was escorted, and I arrive at Thurmx.

Thermx is the land ruled by Lord Curos. Upon arrival, I just thought it was instant torture. However, after being brought into a private room unexpectedly or unexpectedly, the inquiry begins.

"Who killed the people of Raddle?

A beautiful woman with ponytail red hair wearing a robe marked with snow crystals on her back has thrown the question several times already.

"Marek Curos, son of Lord Curos"

"That's different from a witness statement, though?

"Sounds like it."

"So, brave man - how did you make Yukihiro incapable of fighting?

"It's my magic"

"Examination at the church when I was five reported that you had no magical talent. What's this?"

"I don't deny it"

Because of the same question, the clerk in the corner of the room is stopping to write it down.

The ponytail woman exhales a big sigh and throws a bunch of paper sent to the table by Sutherland.

"All the evidence in this dossier indicates that you are guilty."

"You think so, too?

"No, I know that cereal crush personality better than you do, and I'm actually getting sick of seeing cases like yours. Marek Curros will never be able to turn the heavens and the earth upside down to help the weak."

Hmm, this woman, she's funny inside. A little, I got interested.

"Can I say that to you?

Lord Curros would be guilty of death for one of his murmurs against himself.

"Don't worry. Even though this is Lord Curos' direct jurisdiction, it looks like it's outside the border. They don't have that much thought.

Besides, when they collect high taxes and wonder if they visit us occasionally, they behave as they please. Loyalty doesn't help. "

……

The general circumstance was conjectured by the anger, also similar to the madness that dwelt for a moment in the eyes of the clerk and the two guards sitting in front of the door.

"Besides, this land is..."

"Judge Luca!

Due to the intense height painted on the secretary's agony, the red-haired ponytail woman's bishop - Luca - shuts her mouth.

"So, you're gonna acquit me?

"That's the way it is. I'm the judge. Even if the other person gets an obviously innocent mind on an outward path to hate, there is evidence to show guilt, and there is nothing more to convict than being able to deny it"

"You're no better than this."

"I hope you don't be sarcastic. This equates to defeat for us, the judges."

I'm not being sarcastic. I have come to this world, and I am genuinely surprised to see such a brilliant person in such an extraterritorial (tiny hon.) area of Lord Curros' direct jurisdiction.

"You, what's your name?

"Luca the Leaf"

"Let's Remember"

As I take my seat, the guard who was in front of the door rushes to point his sword at me.

"I'm the one listening right now. You weigh yourselves in."

Luca's fiercely soldiers, when saluted, refrain before the door.

"I'm not going to bend my own claims. This is a waste of time."

"Okay. Take him to jail."

Half a day after being locked up in a dungeon, Luca came to the front of the cell.

Based on its impatient appearance, I heard that it was not a lot.

"It's been a little rough."

"Have you decided to send even a torture officer?

"It's not a rumor area..."

Luka affirms, dyeing one side of her face bitterly.

Is it still true? I had consistently refused to transfer property and rights relations. Originally, it was unprecedented to claim the transfer of a patent as damages. Besides, this patent also involves a commercial guild. I'm sure you want to avoid useless disputes from them, and it's not a big surprise.

Rather, it bothers me that things are getting too far in the middle of a clap.

The spread of rumors at an unusual rate of speed in Sutherland. And the fact certification of Justice Luca, whose fairness is guaranteed. Immediately thereafter, by the torture officer, I obtain an acknowledgement of the transfer of rights from me.

If you just hit the road, everything is flowing at an exquisite time, and as you can see, there is no longer any doubt that Lord Curros is connected to the mastermind of the Undead's assault.

Then why are they in a hurry? I'm not in Sutherland anymore. They must have accomplished their purpose. Because dispatching torture officers shouldn't be too late, even after a gunfight in a more moderate way.

Shall I ask a few questions?

"Has anything changed in this Thermx city right now?

"Nothing... I think"

"Whatever. I don't mind the slightest difference in everyday life."

Luca was thinking even as she touched her shapely little lips, but raised her face as she came up with it.

"Is it also the move of Lord Curros's villa, packing the carriage in front of the mansion"

The move of Lord Curos's villa? I feel like something is trying to connect.

"Judge Luca, could you please look into Lord Curos' plans to leave the carriage? Also, within Lord Curos, who lives in Thermx, we may have a business trip planned soon!

If this fear of mine (kigu) is correct, Lord Curros will be trying to stain his hands with the least contraindications he should have as a ruler.

"Is something going to happen?

"There is no certainty yet. But if what I think is true, Lord Curros may be trying to make this city a human pillar. Do you have a verse in mind?

……

If you look at Luca, whose anxiety is stuck like a stain on her face, you don't have to ask for an answer.

"Apparently there is."

Luca starts to open her heavy mouth.

"Allegations of misconduct by the mayor of Thurmx and the Attorney General..."

The city folks of Thurmx have endured the Curos family domination until now, but the popular anger exploded due to a dispute that ended in the sudden arrest of Deputy Chief Thurmx Street. Finally, it developed into a riot.

Though the uprising was suppressed, the mistrust and anger of the people towards the Curos family were unimaginable. Independence from the Curos family was no longer inevitable, and under the water they seemed to have moved.

And finally get the cooperation of the McBurn Border Uncle and Count Hartwigh, who are in a rival relationship with the Curos family.

Looks like he was planning to use Thurmx's city chief and attorney general's fraudulent accusations as an opportunity to launch an independence campaign.

Nevertheless, I didn't know the names of the two McBurn Border Uncle and Count Hartwigh would come up... is this a coincidence and a good thing to clean up?

"We no longer have to bring the plan forward..."

"No, I want to get certainty first. Earlier in the investigation. Let me know as soon as you know."

"What are you going to do? The torturer might be here soon."

"Torture officer? Um, let's hope it's something to be soaked inside."

Look amazingly in my remarks, with a dongled face.

"You're one of them?

He said such rude things.
