Chapter 35

CHAPTER 35 – POWER AGAINST POWER

「Alen, Elena. Good morning」

「「………」」

Since yesterday, Allen and Elena would never move away from me.

And when I told them good morning today, the two looked at me with dispirited expressions without speaking. They have reverted to their original state they were in when I found them.

That slave trader really did it now!! I will absolutely not let him off!!

I have to prepare one ticket to h.e.l.l for him……… fufufu…

First, I visit the Adventurer’s Guild and finish our business.

I secure several tens meters of Evil Viper’s skin and 100kg of its meat and sell the rest to the guild.

When the material such as b.l.o.o.d.y Wolves was added, it was a significant sum of money. Even a Platinum coin was mixed in.

I kept half of the money on me and deposited the rest in the guild’s deposit.

Next stop is the Knights branch.

A messenger from the Knight’s came to the Inn yesterday evening telling me to visit the Knights next day. It seems to be about Sajesh.

This is convenient, so I went.

「―――And that’s it」

First, Risner-sama reports about the matter.

Sajesh has been punished by two weeks of house arrest and three weeks of being demoted to an apprentice.

It’s much stricter punishment than I thought. Although it’s only three months, it will be probably hard to work as an apprentice.

「That’s all from us. So, Tak.u.mi, what’s wrong?」

Because I conveyed to the messenger yesterday that I would like to consult with Wald-sama about something, he asks me immediately after the report is finished.

「Actually……――」

First, I spoke about the problem with the slave trader.

As Allen and Elena are orphans, Wald-sama has guaranteed me last time that I’m their guardian. Therefore, it would be better to get the troubles out of my chest beforehand, right?

I mean, although the slave trader was taken to the station yesterday, there will definitely not be enough evidence. I don’t think he will give up on the children that easily. He will definitely show up again.

And then, I explain what happened with『Gold’s Wheat Shop』and Baron Gilbert.

I ask them about what to do since the opponent is a n.o.ble. Well, in this area, I don’t rely on Wald-sama, but Risner-sama instead.

Would it be possible to cooperate? I had such plan.

Well, my intentions to let someone else take care of them.

I mean, this is a case where I have to smash someone up without directly touching them, right? If it would be directly, Allen and Elena would definitely come into contact with those fellows.

I don’t want them to be affected by those fellows anymore. While that may be true, I have no intentions of leaving the twins.

There is no value in leaving the children behind in order to interfere with those fellows.

Therefore―――take care of them!

Those fellows! Are definitely! Committing crimes.

Therefore, let’s crush them with a frontal attack!

「I see… if it’s about that, there’s a more suitable person for that than us. Let’s head over there」

Risner-sama who heard the story urges us to move.

「Excuse me」

「Oh? Isaac, huh. What’s the matter? … N? This is?」

「He’s Tak.u.mi Kayano-san」

「Oo! You are! I see, I see, I’m glad you came. Please sit down」

We leave Wald-sama’s room, and Risner-sama guides me to a room with a friendly man in his thirties and another man also in his thirties who hadn’t spoken yet.

「Tak.u.mi-san. This is the Commander and Commander’s advisor」

「…… I am glad to meet you. I’m Tak.u.mi Kayano……」

「Commander is son of Lauren House the feudal lord governing this territoy」

「Derrick Lauren. There are several people of Lauren house in this town, so Derrick is alright」

The destination was the office of the commander of the Knights of Shirin.

The friendly man is Derrick Lauren. He’s the most important person of the Knights of Shirin and the Lauren House’s second son. Because his older brother was a.s.signed to manage the territory, Derrick-sama became a Knight.

The second man is Philip Callan-sama. Commander’s advisor. Not a vice-commander, but he seems to be in charge of administrative work.

Risner-sama has brought me to an incredible place, huh…… tell me beforehand, please.

After the short introductions, I explained my business to the two.

「Fumu, I see. Alright, we will investigate!」

「Eh?」

Derrick-sama takes it in quickly.

It was too unexpected I let out a weird noise.
