The Branded Female Fencer
Guilty Sword, Part 16 - Theft ①
Inside the Deep Green Palace, Aristotle was troubled by himself. I never imagined there would be so much work in the Deep Green Palace. Alberto, head of the Knights of the Temple, has abandoned his duties during special training or something, and Rafferty, an assistant, holds the general command of the Expeditionary Army. The main knights are fighting in the Expeditionary Army, so they didn't think they'd be the best knights left to stay away at the Deep Green Palace. When the head of the absentee was announced, the other knights looked relieved, but the point was made. Everyone expected work to come down like a mountain like they are now. You mean you're an idiot you didn't realize?
Now I don't know what it's like to have a bishop, Miriazal, out of paperwork from time to time to go shopping for candy in Lower Town. I wouldn't call it candy, but Aristotle also wanted to bathe in alcohol to death. The pile of paperwork that descends in front of you is also similar to the way in which miscellaneous fish demons grow. Aristotle realized for the first time in this year that it would be many times better to get rid of all the work late in the evening and return the next morning to feel the despair when it was piling up like a mountain or sifting a sword on the front line. Next time there was an expedition, Aristotle had made a firm decision to volunteer to appear first.
And what bothers Aristotle is the consultation held up by Dryde, one of the archbishops. There have been frequent incidents of petty theft here recently. Little damage complaints, such as the fact that the number of fruits in the outdoor store does not match one. That didn't seem like a big deal at first, but when there were similar complaints from four or five shops on the same day and that lasted for nearly a month, the petty theft case came to be obviously relevant. It was also a problem that it spanned the entire city.
At first, the city guard was in charge. However, there was also a consultation with Dryd, whom the mayor was imploring because it was so extensive, and it was up to Dryd to put one side in Aristotle, head of security at the Deep Green Palace, just in case. Nonetheless, Aristotle had to strike some sort of countermeasure because of similar reports from city security. But this is a challenge for Aristotle, who has left the substantive response to the highest-ranking knight to date. I have no idea how far we should intervene and what the actual means and procedures should be.
"With such a small burglary, the Deep Green Palace shouldn't normally move, but what's the matter... yes"
Aristotle remembers the girl she used to work with. Haven't you claimed to be full of yourself with your thumbs up, leaving it to me if you want to search for lost items?
Aristotle asks for a quick favor from her, the sensor, but she is an inexperienced Aristotle who never dreams of the expense falling off her salary.
"Phew... looks like the original show is finally here...!
Lisa indulges herself. This is Arnelia Central Square. Lisa responded to Aristotle's summons to explore the burglar at the request of the Deep Green Palace. Lisa, who noticed from her heart that Aristotle was unfamiliar with the job, plucked Aristotle for five times the usual price for joking, but couldn't pull it off because Aristotle responded so well. Lisa wonders if Aristotle doesn't know that if she asks a mercenary directly not to go through Arnelia's accounting department, she will pay for it herself.
"Well... I don't care. It's none of Lisa's business if Aristotle goes bankrupt."
If Jake tells me the salary of the Temple Knight is true, it seems that the annual salary will blow up at this request. Lisa's current class (rank) of sensors is A. He passed the assessment after the last war and the promotion exam he snuck into, making him now a sensor that goes into the continent's 100 fingers in both fame. As a result, the commission as a mercenary differs from before and jumps to the point where one digit changes. As far as calculations in my head are concerned, it is certain that Aristotle will later faint while roaring.
Normally, this level of loss is not the kind of job description that Lisa would receive if her rank became A. Why that got the job, Lisa had one plan.
