Thanks to Norris, the discomfort that Aldis felt was clear. I don't know what to do right now, but it's not a problem.
It may not be easy to solve, just because of his child's superstition, whose cause is no basis. You can't just end with a twist like a monster. Because the goddess of the goddess and the religion are involved, the roots are very deep.
The other cause, the relationship between Nere and the territory, has been completely broken. It's hard to imagine that it would be settled if the platoon leader made it an enemy of the eye, and even the territorial army was pushing it. When asked, the lord seems to be turning to the enemy.
Aldis, who broke up with the Teds and returned home with the same gaze from the inhabitants as he did on the outbound journey, entered the living room and sank on the sofa. Leaning toward the back while looking up at the ceiling.
I wanted to take a nap if I could.
"Huh ... will you be leaving Thoria anymore?"
"What happened, my Lord"
Nere comes from behind Aldis sighing, holding a tray. He put two cups of tea on the table and sat down next to Aldis and talked to his cup.
Somehow, his servant, who began to live under the same roof as Aldis, demonstrated his versatility with cleaning, washing and cooking, establishing a firm position in the house. Now, he is showing his attention to his attendant, such as putting tea into Aldis, who takes a break in this way.
On the other hand, there are still doubts about whether you really have a servant's consciousness, such as being quiet and sitting down and drinking tea before your master, rather than calling Aldis the Lord. But at least he does what Aldis wants and takes care of his twins.
Recently, twins are finally getting used to it, and they can be seen talking to Nere. This time, it turned out that he had let out a terrible bomb, but he still feels familiar enough to not be thrown away immediately.
"It seems that the Marquis and the territory are on the lookout."
Aldis said, moistening his mouth with tea.
"Is there any inconvenience? Such an accessory is insignificant. If it is my Lord's life, will it be destroyed from now?"
"please stop"
I don't want that.
If it's a matter of crushing it, that's fine. Even if you don't bother to ask Nere, Aldis only needs to get into the lord's house.
The problem is then. The opponent is the Marquis, and behind it is the Nagras Kingdom. Destroying the prince of Thria is the same as selling a fight to the kingdom.
Aldis is a mercenary. I don't want to have a civil war against the country.
It may be possible to relocate operations to other nations in the meantime, and it is possible that the nation is not yet involved, as only marquis and territory are operating at this time. Once we get out of Thria, the problem will subside naturally. That idea has led to the phrase, "Do you want to leave Thria?"
"Will you stay calm for a while? I'm worried about leaving my house in this situation."
After a while, the inhabitants may calm down, and even if the marquis and territory have malice to the Aldis, there is little that they can do, as long as they keep the law. Of course, as long as the other party keeps the law in good faith.
"Nere has ever met the Marquis? Who was it?"
He knows Aldis, too. Although he was arrogant, he was a type of law and order. If even the lord holds the reins firmly, he will not run away.
But he has never met the Marquis, the highest authority in Tria. From the reputation of the inhabitants, I was impressed as a competent government. If you've met in person, Nere will have a more accurate personality than Aldis.
"A vulgar and greedy pig without intelligence"
Aldis's hand carrying the cup stops.
"... what?"
"So did you hear about the lord? He says, 'A vile, greedy pig without intelligence.'"
It was a character review that included a poison unexpectedly.
"That's right ... how was the general by the way?"
"A dog that barks often to a stray dog"
Hearing that, Aldis is convinced. The reputation of the general is not much different from Aldis. Positive and negative, Nere's reputation for the Marquis is not likely to be simply a result of prejudice or sentiment.
In that case, it would be better not to judge with "the law allows and does not allow". It is possible that they will use sneaky means.
"It seems better to be on guard"
Aldis's concerns will come true a few days later.
The day was cloudy from the morning and there was no sign of clearing even after the night spread. Evening The starlight is hidden by cloudy sky, and the mouth is darker than usual. There was a violent knock on the front door of the house.
"My lord"
"I know"
Aldis felt the crowd around the house. The size of the magic is almost the same as ordinary people, probably guards. It wouldn't be a good story, at least for the Ardis, if they were to rush around such a house.
Go to "I'll come and fight off?"
It is easy with the power of Aldis and others to turn back and repel. But the problem is later. Once you've breached it, the next move will just come.
"I will respond. Nere is ready to leave the city with them."
I want to be as comfortable as possible, but that's probably impossible. Judging from the number of people surrounding the house, it seems that they came to demands that would resist.
With Nere and her twins starting to pack, Aldis heads to the front door.
Scrutiny: "Yes! You can open it!"
The voice of a man who looked like a guard was resounding while hitting the front door. The voice is already a screaming sound, and if you leave it as it is, you will be able to break through the door in less than a few minutes and enter.
"What is this night?"
As soon as Aldis opened the door with a call, someone's command was heard.
"Rush!"
With the door open, fully armed guards attempt to enter the house. But the attempt failed.
"What is this !?"
Blocked by Aldis's instantaneous barrier, the guards stopped with their heads bumped into an invisible wall.
This is an application of a physical barrier, a magic that prevents the surgeon from passing through malicious or hostile moving objects. Naturally, it is Aldis's original, not a magic commonly known to the public. It was magic rather than magic. Because it is deployed to cover the entire house, it can be prevented from entering through other windows and back doors.
"It's a very bad manner of visiting. If you want to be invited into the house, are there some procedures and courtesy?"
Aldis says politely and rudely.
"Ki, you! Are you against the guard !?"
"I don't know what to do, but I can't help but depending on the content, I may be able to cooperate."
Aldis responded to the blurry wind.
"So what? Today's request?"
An old man came out of the deadly guard. A commander of the unit.
"A captive order has been issued to a mercenary woman living in this house! It will not help me to hide it!"
"Huh ... is it a captive order? For what reason?"
"Suspicion of injuries to soldiers and child abduction!"
"It's also ... not calm."
Contempt Aldis's eyes dwell.
Injuries to soldiers are likely to be the company commander and platoon commander Nere has handed down. In addition, infant abduction. It seems that even the existence of twins is going to be ridiculous.
If you listen to them, not only Nere but also twins will be taken as victims. That's an unacceptable story for Aldis.
"Do you have a captive warrant?"
"Look at this!"
The aged commander spreads a large-sized piece of paper in front of Aldis.
A captive warrant is an official document issued by a state official. Under the laws of the Kingdom of Nagras, guards can take immediate criminal offenses if they are current offenders. If you are not a current criminal, you will need to issue a captive warrant based on the circumstances of your investigation to detain the suspect.
As a matter of fact, captives without a warrant are also rampant, and warrants are sometimes issued after the captive. Even if it was set up as a system, it was virtually as good as it was. However, if the suspect is a privileged class such as a nobleman, it is mandatory, and if resistance is expected like a powerful mercenary, it is often issued with a psychological effect on the opponent. In this case, the latter would be the reason.
Houliin: "It's a captive warrant ... but it doesn't look like that?"
"It's ...!"
The commander chokes on unexpected points.
The Legal Service is a state agency that guarantees the validity of a captive warrant. In order to prevent local lords and nobles from falsifying warrants, each warrant is examined to determine if there is any suspicion about the charges or suspects.
With the sign of the law enforcement, the captive warrant has finally gained legal grounds. Conversely, anything without the sign of the law enforcement is not valid.
(That's why this is a country we don't know.
At this point, Aldis decided how to move.
"Ho, the law enforcement's examination will soon pass! The arrest of the suspect has been determined to be top priority!"
The commander cheated on a painful counterattack from a mercenary who thought he was uneducated.
"Well, who did you come to catch?"
"A mercenary woman! I know I'm here!"
"Name is?"
"I don't care about names! Mercenary women are mercenary women!"
(These guys ... did you come to catch someone you don't know?)
The name of Nere wasn't listed in the warrant, so I thought she didn't even know her name.
"No, because who can bring you if you don't know the name to bring it ..."
"So you just have to hand over the mercenary woman!"
Aldis's feelings are already solidified. What we need to do now is to earn time while the Nere are preparing.
"There are three mercenary women. Who should I hand over?"
"What……?"
Of course it's up to you. But the guards don't know exactly how many people are in Aldis's house.
The same goes for the residents of the city. No one but the Teds who have actually entered the house will know how many people live in the house.
Heavenly color "Hey, her hair is long Alice blue and her eyes are a woman!"
"Um, all three have the same hair and eye color ..."
"That's what it is!"
"No, if you ask me if that's the case, it really is ..."
Aldis intentionally scratches his head with his finger and shows a troubled expression.
"And who should I hand over?"
"Guh, guh ... Anyway! Bring all the women in this house! I'll judge the rest here!"
(I guess this is the tide)
"I see. I'll bring you to the entrance, so just wait."
With that said, Aldis retracted deep into the house. For the time being, Aldis was quietly obedient, and the guards did not seem to be forced into it.
Aldis, who has returned to the Nere and others, asks a question.
"Well, how far are you ready?"
Kind, "My Lord, I already have personal items and armament ready. Filia and Liana have already changed clothes. I'll have enough food in about four days. I don't have it. "
There are two huge bags and two bags that an adult man could put in. They had been prepared with luggage packed in pan bread.
"It can't be helped. It's enough to get equipment, money, and food."
You can throw away the furniture you have bought, but you can buy things again.
"Philias going out?"
"Liana, outside ..."
The twins grab Aldis's pants with anxious faces. For them, the outside world may have only bad memories.
"But if you're here, many scary uncles will come. Please be patient with both."
The twins reluctantly shake their heads in Aldis's words.
Both of them have recently increased in number and self-asserted, but still do not say selfishness. Aldis struck down at the twins who could listen to what they would say, although it would be a pain to cry.
"Well, let's go"
Aldis and others go upstairs through the attic from the second floor.
"Take hold of both of them. It's better to keep your eyes closed."
"Yup"
"all right"
Holding the twins in his arms, Aldis breaks the barrier surrounding the house.
With the disappearance of the barrier, the guards were buried in the dark and lifted up just as they entered the house. In just a few seconds, climb to a height of 100 meters above the ground and fly southwest through the night sky with Nere, who has followed her with a bag in both hands.
By now, guards are desperately searching around the house. In some cases, the walls may be broken or set on fire, but that house is no longer useful.
The brokerage that brokered it would be a great loss, but they did not have any compassion for those who said that the twins were rumored and said, "I want you to cancel and leave immediately." However, he may have taken hundreds of security deposits in case of such a trouble, and it may be an unexpected balance of tons.
After a short day's walk from Tria, the Ardiss got off the road and spent the night there.
