Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

09. Good people, improve security without having to do anything

And the sun came up, and all the people camped.

At the beginning I put up a large tent and let the women I brought rest in it.

I was outside the tent, by the bonfire I woke up, getting a report from my maid director, Amelia.

"There are three assaults today, two burglaries and robberies, and one other, with a total of six crimes equivalent."

"Yeah."

Nodding me.

Amelia is reporting a problem with the folks who followed her.

If there are 100,000 people, these things can happen there.

Especially when the journey was getting longer, and people were getting tired and worried, and I started getting stingy over there.

There's no reason to leave it alone, we have to take some action.

"What do you want to do? If you wear magic cuffs, I'll get them all."

"Can we take care of that?"

A man's voice has broken in.

A middle-aged man whose face is illuminated red across the fireworks.

I persuaded him a while ago, and he's the leader of a former bandit who's been returning in order.

It's a man by the name of Guy Little Winner.

"Leave it to me?"

"Rough things, dirty things for us."

Guy staring at me for saying that.

I see, you thought you could secure a position like that.

I thought about it a little.

It's good to stop crime with severe punishment, but Eliza is trying to make my "human virtue" look heavenly on this journey.

That's a good idea.

I don't mind magic, starting with magic cuffs, but here's more...

I thought for a moment and told Amelia and Guy.

"Amelia, you know the people who caused the problem."

"Yes."

"Then tell Guy that. Guy."

"Ha."

"Put them all together and take them to the rear of this people"

"... the rear end, is it?

Surprising Guy.

"Yeah, at the rear. I'll leave the method to you, but fix it to the rear and don't let it out before then"

"… Accepted"

Guy got lost, but without eating down, he listened to Amelia and walked away.

"So, Amelia"

"Yes."

"Distribution of food, the people who caused the problem clearly last"

"Do you reduce it?

"Yeah, that's good. Just make it one last thing clear."

"Okay."

Amelia was no more lost than Guy.

For a long time you've been my maid of honor, I can tell by your behavior that you trust me.

I have to live up to that trust.

A few days later, as we were taking the people and progressing, Amelia gently lined up next door.

"Dear Alec,"

"Yeah? What's going on?

"Please report… we haven't had any problems in the last few days"

"Oh, good."

"Dear Alec, did you do something?

"You think so?

I look at Amelia walking beside me, grinning.

Maybe what I did, but I have no idea what I did.

If that's what you think of Amelia, then this is a success.

Because the more you imagine things you don't understand and can't see, the more you say people.

but externally, that's fine.

I trust you, Amelia, and I thought I had to open up to Amelia with a troubled face.

"Do you know who Amelia is?

"Are you talking about Master Alec?

Immediate answer Amelia.

That's also trusting again, but I smiled and denied it.

"No, I'm not. People who have nothing to lose and get a rash from it."

"I see."

"For example, Lily and Mari. The two of us did it a while ago. You think these two are gonna commit a crime right now, like stealing?

"I don't think so."

Amelia responded instantly.

"Why?"

"Then Master Alec will abandon you."

"Yeah."

I don't technically abandon you, but, well, that's not what I'm talking about right now.

"That's what I'm talking about. People are unconsciously calculating things, what they get by committing a crime and what they lose on a scale. But the invincible have nothing to lose, so they can commit a crime."

That's it, I turned my back for a moment.

The folk who follow me, almost all of them, have their eyes lit with hope.

"Everyone who follows me now expects me to make life easier if they follow me."

"Definitely will"

"Thanks"

Trust again, smiling back at it.

"In other words, you should be scared to be abandoned by me. And I pinned the criminals to the tail. You don't have to abandon it, but the order will be the last, put the message on."

"I see! Alec's ideal home, anyone wants to get in soon!

Amelia seems to have understood.

"That's the thing. Put the person who committed the crime behind you, and in some cases drive him back. Just spreading rumors like that - like Amelia's watching right now, it's going to make the crime rate drop."

"I see, that's Alec! I can't believe I suppress crime by simply carrying sinners to the rear without any magic or power"

Amelia was impressed.

If you don't even explain it from the inside, you won't know more and more from the outside.

And in fact, very little crime-like crime took place until we got to Avalon after this, and there was no trace of me exercising any power at all.

Eliza's fame grew in the direction Eliza wanted, even though she didn't do anything.
