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

Episode 42: Investigation (2) Witness Discovery

Thursday, June 14th, 905.

It has already been a few days since Lillinor and Olivia started living together.

There were always instructions out of Iskandar asking me to accompany you, but you don't need to take such an idiot seriously. So initially, I was going to ask you to stay slow and generous within the Sagami Chamber of Commerce until around 15: 00 PM when you have class.

Yet, with Lillinor's accompanying proclamation, my prospects will be lightly overshadowed and we will take classes together.

Of course, Olivia reacted with plenty of accusations, but she also got acquainted in just one day, which means she still does.

Initially, the students were quite nervous, but they got used to it because of too much Lillinor's ease.

"That concludes our class of the day. Then we'll move on to Shirohime."

Miscellaneous quests are likely to stumble upon us if done in Straheim. Then the explanation is cumbersome. Besides, Straheim is now in danger in that slime case, and I just instructed the merchant members to refrain from going out on their own.

For those reasons, it was decided to let Shirohime's medical attention take place until the incident came to a close.

When it comes to nursing, it's just cooking, formulating medications, etc. I kept it free to move for the rest of my time. In short, it's a long vacation for them. I don't seem dissatisfied, so I think he's practicing magic too.

Pruitt comes closer with a bunch of paper. Probably also a question about the class content. Ever since this class, I've been asking like every day.

"Doctor, I wasn't sure what immune tolerance was yesterday?

That would be so. Anyway, acquired immune tolerance is a Nobel Prize discovery. If it's so easy to understand, I won't take care of it.

"When we form the fetal body, once we make white blood cells, the defense forces that attack all types of antigens, we only self-extinguish white blood cells that attack ourselves. Then you won't have to attack yourself, will you?

"Hmm, there you go..."

Troubled with explaining to the students who strangle their necks,

"Isn't it like once the state organizes an army, it eliminates intersections, etc. in an ex-post investigation? That way, your army can attack only external enemies at will."

Olivia whines casually. That's an accurate analogy.

"Exactly."

"Whoa! Right! You mean that!

Apparently, the students also understood it in their current description.

Surely, don't you see what it means to be used unknown words such as antigens and leukocytes?

"You're done talking. Return to Miscellaneous Affairs Quest immediately. Let each rest well enough."

When told to do so, the students are transferred to Shirohime.

"Well, let's go too."

"Yes!

Lillinore, who, as usual, is energetic to me;

……

Nodding silently, Olivia. The lack of affection is the same, but it's only a big part of the loss of intense hostility.

I'm moving to the first floor of the Sagami Chamber of Commerce in Straheim.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

I kept walking around with my feet as a stick every day for a few days and listening, but I still haven't gotten any information like this.

Of the 28 listed in the guild, I asked 27 about the situation, but no one even remembered who was sitting in the corner seat of the bear bee (Kumabachi). Besides, the extremely small number of people who were walking down the street in front of the store during that time on the day of the incident had made gathering information significantly more difficult.

"Is it the last time? I don't think I can expect much."

"Right..."

Nodding at my casual sentiments, to Lillinor,

"What are you darkening!? If you can't find it, don't worry about it. We haven't had any new victims yet, just take your time!!"

Such unexpected and extreme remarks are made by Olivia. I didn't mean to get dark, but I did think a little, maybe too negative.

"If not, let's take action at the Chamber of Commerce."

"Yes!"

"Uhm!"

To the two of you snorted happily, laughing bitterly but I take a mask and a voice changer.

There is no denying that in the hearing of the circumstances so far, I was too suspiciously alert in vain to the appearance of a dwarf in the mask of me. In the dossier, the last witness was an old man. If you look like a child, it might make it a little easier for them to open their minds too. I'm the last witness, and I decided to take some chances.

"I knew it would be better!

When Lillinor cuddled up to me with joy,

"Sure. That voice on the mask, it's too creepy."

Olivia gives me such an annoying rating.

While I flaunt my shoulders, the last 28th witness knocks on the door of the working shop.

"Yes, there you are!

There's a shoe shop. Various shapes of shoes were resting on shelves.

"Wow, that's amazing. Wow"

Side by side Lillinor cheering carelessly on the lined shoes, I am still in the back, approaching the gray-haired old man who is creating the shoes.

"Hmm? Boys and ladies, are you looking for shoes?

He smiled kindly and welcomed me.

Like Le Roy, it smells like a raw craftsman. Maybe it was my discretionary stereotype that the artisans at the root were difficult. Excuse me, shopkeeper.

In my heart, while I apologize,

"At the request of the Adventurer Guild, we wanted to ask you a few questions about the 'Human Slime Case'. Could you tell me?

I thanked him and asked.

"Uh, that case? I'd like to forget about Nong. I'm sorry, will you go home?

Again, like the others, the shopkeeper suddenly stops snooping.

(Isn't this a little unnatural on boulders?

The others were watching over us from the edge. That's why I was convinced that I would be dealt with in a cold way.

But the sudden change in this shopkeeper is strange on the boulder. By analogy, even though it's about a tragic incident, the intrigue is the case of someone else who is busy with the public. Rapid change so far is like saying you're hiding the facts yourself.

……

Olivia next door pulls my sleeve silently, nodding loudly.

"You saw something, right?

The shopkeeper began to stiffen his whole body, silently making shoes. The shopkeeper's hand slapping that hardware is trembling in small pieces. Apparently, it's a bingo.

"Is that okay? I'm sure we'll have the same case again. The next victim may be someone you know."

……

His hands stopped and his face, which looked up at us, was stretched with intense fear.

"Our aim is only to capture thieves. I will never say anything else that you told me."

"Go home."

The shopkeeper who takes his gaze off me and starts shoemaking silently again. You're about to break a bone to persuade me at this rate.

But it's the thieves who know we're in contact poorly, and it's the top of the fool to put the shopkeeper at risk.

(Well, what do we do?)

As she puts her hand on her chin and thinks, Olivia pulls the neckline out of its busty chest, placing her left hand on her thin hips and putting it in front of the shopkeeper with her right hand. At the end of its collar was a snowy crystalline decoration.

"The concubine is the earlier emperor - daughter of the end of the Iska Rose Archive - Olivia Rose Archive!

The shopkeeper temporarily stared at the neckline, looking frigid, but immediately began to sweat like balls,

"Emblem of the royal family...... ho, real!?"

On both knees, kneel. Eating me in the ass,

"This case was immediately resolved by the Emperor Iska, who ordered me and the Empress - Lillinor! Silence is unacceptable. But if those people tell the truth, then the safety of their families will be guaranteed by our Imperial Government!

"Ha ha!!"

No, no, Olivia, you're Master Huang in a time play!

"Store owner, please stand up."

When Lillinor took both hands of the store owner and let him stand,

"Virgin......"

The shopkeeper finally put his hands together and began to shudder his body into small pieces by saving tears in his eyes.

Enough is enough. Help yourself. I also decided to give myself up for the throw, shoulder to shoulder.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Then the shopkeeper said he forgot his wipes and went back to pick them up on the day of that incident?

"Right. Bye. Those wipes also contained items for my grandson's birthday celebration. That's why I rushed right to the point where they wouldn't have stolen it."

"What did you see there?

To Olivia's question, hold her chest and look at Lillinor with an anxious face. Lillinor nodded loudly, gently holding both hands of the shopkeeper.

Sorry, but you just look like you're in the middle of a poor quality brainwashing scene.

"There's an old man in charge of a young man."

An old man in charge of a man? Then why didn't you report it to the Alliance? Because you were afraid of retaliation? No, if you leave it alone, that's the second and third crimes that can happen. Then, worst of all, there's a risk of getting caught up in it. If that was just Grandpa, he would have reported honestly to the Alliance.

"Who is that old man?

Bikun and again, stiffening old man, as if it were in gold bondage.

"Don't worry. Would you have said that? The Imperial Family protects them. And I swear I won't tell anyone what I saw or heard on this occasion."

"Don't worry, Grandpa"

to the caged words of two fevers, the shopkeeper nodded loudly,

"Shame on you, Noon was a little rough when you were younger. Until I met my wife, I was in and out of this small and medium family in Straheim."

Like Klama and Jill, the Mafia family?

"In doing so, I only saw it once."

"Who is it?

……

I decided to give the name of the suspect that I am now convinced of, even though I blurt trembling in a leaning down mood, to an old man who can't open his mouth inside.

"[Laguna] Right?

Let that word of mine befall you.

Again, that scumbag tissue mess. They're stupid. I walked the path of self-destruction from myself.

The main culprit in this case is not a miscellaneous fish such as [Laguna], but a demon wearing the skin of an authentic person. Perhaps [Laguna] is just a marionette dancing on the palms of the devil.

So this time the executor, [Laguna], the mastermind himself is a high-profile sight?

"It's a licked one"

The shopkeeper looked up at me and

"Hi-no-no!!!?"

Raise the scream. Damn, rude old man.

Olivia was also retreating with her bloody face.

"No more, you can't. Face!"

Lillinor sighed loudly as she was frightened, pointing her finger at her face and urging her attention.

(Also, have you done it)

Again, I realize that my vices have appeared, and I hurry to fix them.

When I cough up, I turn to the store owner.

"Okay? This case is not such a trinket as [Laguna]. It is the genuine devil who is pulling the thread behind it.

The [Laguna] person seen by the store owner will surely be ruined in the near future. So if you're afraid of retaliation from him, it's a mistake. "

Now it's time for the blood to draw rapidly from the store owner's face.

"But Noon--"

"If the shopkeeper finds out he saw the demon, no, if he's mistaken, you'll die for sure in the near future."

"Then what should I do?!?"

To the shopkeeper who desperately sees me,

"You said it. I will protect your family until things settle down. It's possible for me."

Remove the pocket watch from your pocket. I saw the balance engraved on my pocket watch and the mark of flame,

"You're from the Sagami Chamber of Commerce?

The shopkeeper asks. For merchants and craftsmen in this city only, my name is famous, in a sense, for its class equivalent to that of the royal family.

"Yeah, I'm Sagami, president of the Chamber of Commerce - Syllabe Sagami."

"You're that young sagami husband! Okay, bye. I'll tell you everything!

The shopkeeper opens his heavy mouth.

"[Laguna] Four conductors - poisonous liquor (Dokusu). No doubt about it, right?

"Yes! You can't forget that face!!"

Really? Now we can cut the corner of the [Laguna] Quad. You have to punish people for being so stingy.

"Don't you have a heart for the man he was in charge of? You can look vague."

"No, because it was dark"

"So who was seated in the far left back seat from the entrance to the bear bee shop?

"Seat in the back left......"

The shopkeeper put his arms together for a while and thought,

"Oh, that May fly kid! I've drowned my bump grievances, so I remember!

"What did you look like?

"He's about twenty years old with purple hair and a bad eye."

I think of only one person who fits perfectly. I mean, recently, I just made it full bogged down. A-rank adventurer - Munk.

But I don't think a dick like him has the guts to just get involved in this case.

For once, we need to investigate.

"What are we going to do?

"First, protect and hide the store owner and family. Everything starts with that."

"Thank you!

We went to the Sagami Chamber of Commerce once with the shop owner who thanked us many times.
