City of jewelry. It is the heart of Mountstom territory, surrounded by numerous mines, both in the kingdom and the origin of the minerals contending for (d).

Features include the fact that many of them occupy jewellery, and gold and silver are well mined.

Naturally there were also such land patterns, the territory was relatively wealthy and people's lives were set above average standards.

However, this is not simply due to the high amount of gemstone mined. No matter how rich the land is, because in a place where many live in groups, it is important to have a person at the helm, no matter what you put down.

And it is usually the lords who are responsible for it - let's say the lord, Count Opal the Mountstom Jewellery Stone, who ruled here in Mountstom territory, demonstrated exceptional talent and brains in that regard, as well as exceptional managerial skill due to the softness of his head.

The seat of a lord that followed from his father's generation, but his predecessor's father was also quite a doer, and while both the hereditary opal and the woman, with more than a man's courage and exceptional bargaining skills, he increased the income and definitely increased the profits of the territory.

And for what it's worth, there was Lord Opal in Mountstom, and the name became so widespread that...

But now, the city of jewellery had been held together by certain rumors. It is that Lord Opal, a noble and honorable man, has embarked on a slave trade in the darkness, which is forbidden in the kingdom, and has benefited from it.

Territorial management had progressed appropriately in the past few years, and when the benefits of this back-trade were significant, such stories began to be whispered.

And that's why Sir Opal can't get out of the city of Istbraith, even though he's long past his scheduled stay.

Rumors had gone so far that Istfence lord Akdork Istfence Luphall's border ambassador had doubts about Sir Opal and Count Elga Grinwood Layon, who had cooperated in the deal behind him, and, as a result of his own investigation, would hold important evidence that the two had been engaged in a dark deal and would be handed over as felons to nearby kingdoms.

However, the problem is that the origin of this rumor is unclear. Naturally, the Deacon of the Mansion and some key figures were informed by letter about the prolonged stay of Opal and the general reasons for it, but naturally they are not stupid enough to divulge it outside.

Even if it were to leak, it would not lead to a story that would be detrimental to Opal, who is not trustworthy enough.

In fact, when this rumor began to spread, the Deacon heard it all himself, but he didn't find anything strange. Most importantly, make it shopping. Make it chores, behavior is fundamental in pairs.

In other words, if someone in the mansion leaked it, at least they did it at the same time, which is too unnatural given the thorough management system of the mansion.

And more importantly, the rumors spread too quickly. Though it was said that no door could be set in a man's mouth, the rumors spread one after the other, as if there had been a fire on a windy day.

But in this reality, the deacon of the mansion, on the contrary, immersed himself in the investigation as if it had caught fire, moved the other deacons and maids, and finally found one clue and a single adventurer surfaced.

"Yes, Minasa, it's time - it's too late - so get in bed - it's time to rest"

Maria urged the children in the same prolonged tone at the orphanage. Time is already at eight o'clock at night, basically in the early morning orphanage. I'll be on the floor already at this hour.

Kids also reply adorably, yes, and get ready to go to bed.

"But I'm glad Ann's okay - I want to see her soon."

Percia says that. It was told to this orphanage as good news that Anne, who had been captured by a slave trader's carriage in the woods near Istbraith, was released.

"... but I'm worried. There's some weird rumor all over the city!

But Cutie got into such a conversation and said that story, which is the source of disturbance.

Sometimes a child is something you don't hesitate to say.

But a shadow fell on Persia's face I was listening to. I thought it would have helped. Maybe I got anxious that something bad wasn't happening to Ann.

"Ah! Chi, you're not! I was just wondering!

And you realize Cutie has also said something unsavory about Persia's condition, desperately trying to fix it.

Then Maria smiled.

"Don't worry about it."

"Maria, Mother, no. - It's seventy-five days."

"Oh yeah - teacher accidentally ~"

The smiles of the children blossomed in Maria laughing. It is also certain that the atmosphere was soothing, either natural or daring, which was becoming a little heavier.

And the other children spoke to their brothers and sisters again - and Maria put the children on the floor, saying, if you be a good girl - I'm sure you'll see her again.

And - after putting the children to sleep, Maria was praying to one God. Yeah, I told the kids, but she hears about the rumors, too. Besides, this case has something to do with Russi as well. Nagare and his companions, who were saving this orphanage, are also involved, and many are involved with Sir Elga, who is ruling Greenwood territory from his lord, Sir Opal.

But from here on out, there's no way to know anything but rumors about what the hell is going on in Istfence territory. Of course, Maria believes that the rumor itself is a mistake.

(Anyway, to me - at least I can pray - because I can)

It feels so prolonged in my heart, but I'm not kidding, Maria is serious.

Such a prayerful Maria's ear received the sound of a knock on the door of the orphanage.

Maria interrupted her prayer once, and approached the door about time, which one is it ~? And who did?

At any rate, this is the time. Unless you have a special reason for the night in the first place, it's usually something you don't walk outside or anything.

Unless this is a tavern or something, I don't normally have anything to visit at night at an orphanage.

"It's me! Geel! Actually, I'm in a bit of a mess. Do you mind if I open it?

"Geel,?

Maria tilts her little neck, but she knows him well. Originally, Rick was asked to polish his weapon, which led him to get along, and then put his face on the orphanage as well.

I've known him recently, but he was very well taken care of, and he also helped me with a lot of orphanages that were short of men besides the kids.

He did it for free, including a little repair to the wall and repair to the back of the chair.

Maria hesitated at first because she was sorry, but he said that apparently Geir was out of the orphanage too and wanted to give her back the favor she used to take care of her.

That being said, Maria had been thankfully sweetened by the favor.

He talked to the kids, gestures and gestures about the adventurer's work, etc., especially liked by the boys.

He came all this way to say it was a big deal. Even the voice can't be misheard. I opened the peep window just in case, checked my face, but it was still him.

Maria took the knife off and opened the door. There was a blue-faced geel there. Maria felt that it was no big deal.

I'm glad you're still safe.

"Huh? Safe?

"Ah, oh. There's a strange rumor going on, isn't there? You think Sir Opal is involved in the slave trade?"

"Ah, yes. But it's..."

"Oh, yeah. That's bullshit. But they're after this orphanage because of its true mastermind and its use as a material to blackmail the lord. So it's dangerous to stay here like this! Wake the kids up now and get out of here!

With his hands wide open, Geel has desperately appealed to Maria. I also told Maria that the look was serious and we had to hurry anyway.

"Wow, I get it - should I wake the kids up?"

"Oh, yeah. And get out of here. Don't worry about it. Outside, my people are holding back. Don't worry, we've got a place where you can lurk temporarily."

Geel prompted Maria to quickly hang on to wake the children. I felt sorry for just getting to bed, but I can't even say that when I hear they're after me.

"Maria, Mother, what's wrong?"

"That's Mr. Geel."

"Nyah, what the hell is going on?

"You're sleepy."

In the meantime, it was Maria who made it easy to get dressed and gathered the children up to the front entrance.

"I'm sorry - I fell asleep in the corner - but - just a little bit - could we all go out with Mr. Geel?"

"I'm sorry - but this is important. I'm in a bit of a situation. It's dangerous to be here. So come with me."

Dangerous? Children questioning. Though some of the children looked anxious and were about to cry.

"Nah, I'm fine. If you have an uncle, you have nothing to worry about. You talked about this before? My uncle is strong."

But Geel laughs nicely, bending his arms and showing off his strength. Besides, the air is lighter.

"Persia, what's going on?

"... uh-huh, I don't know. But there's something going on."

"Yeah, it's boulder Persia. Yes, that's why it's not good to be here. Come on, all of you, get here."

When Persia said anxiously, Geel urged everyone in the form of a ride to it.

I can see some confusion in Persia's expression, but Geel isn't the one he doesn't even know, so we're all going to follow him in the end.

"... Um - Mr. Geel, how far the hell are you going? - And - something keeps coming - to the less conspicuous - I don't know..."

Indeed, as Maria says, it also seems to go further back from the alley and towards the abandoned pit side, which is no longer in use. Naturally, there's less use of those places, and inevitably fewer people come and go.

"What are you talking about? You're going to have to hide. [M] You deserve to go somewhere discreet, don't you?

"Ha, sure - if you ask me - but ~..."

Maria's walking speed is dull. The kids seem anxious somewhere, too.

"Oh, you know - I knew it"

"... but would it be enough to get this far?"

"Huh?"

Then Geel also stopped to pitch, and looked back at Maria - hoisting the nigga and mouth angle.

"Totally, that's a tough one. But people were nice and helpful. Thanks to you, it's easy to do your job here."

I say that to Maria with my hands wide open and a thin laugh. That face, that attitude, that he was giving me a lot of help for the orphanage - but that's what this man is all about, and Maria just found out by instinct, so...

"Oh, I wonder what kind of work you're talking about?

At that time, from above the head, a voice of some sort pours down. The top of a lonely collective home that had already lost its occupants and had been decided to demolish it soon. Skinny head gleams in the moonlight.

For some reason, the upper body makes sure to show off its wide spine, which shows an overwhelming presence, and the lower body also jumps into the eyes of the geel at will with a tight hip line only hidden with a slight cloth. The left and right of the glutes and the broad spine rippled with piqun piqun as they echoed.

He's Onenese like that. Oneness posing as a match. Yes, his name is, he is the B-ranked premier adventurer - Gay Maxium - who made Hamma the proud leader of the Holy Man Princess.

"Ugh, come on, say it in front of me? Depends on your response, I'll adore you."
