at the orphanage.
"This is the 15 gold coins I kept as compensation.
My men took care of me this time, so I will store my clothes.
"Ha... that... thank you.
Dean was only to snort at Takeo's explanation.
Several adults are also present but overwhelmed.
Well, I don't know why, because there was a pile of clothes in front of the deans like a mountain.
"Um... when they came back earlier, it was more than they had?
"Yeah, 70% of them were in the backpack.
Because it would be unnatural for two men to go into an orphanage without having anything.
Until I made it my body that I came to donate.
The dean doesn't have to worry about it.
"Yes... so... um..."
Make him look like the dean said something.
"... is it my identity?
Takeo smiles.
"Yes! Thank you for everything you've done with me so far... but who are you?
"Oh... may I say... yeah, will I only tell the Dean?
"Uh... what's that?
"Oh, don't worry, it's not back-to-back or anything.
But less people would be better off knowing.
So now I will teach you only to the Dean.
So, if the director finds out and teaches everyone at the director's discretion, I won't say anything.
"If that's what you're saying... please all exit.
I'll tell you when I hear it and think it's no problem.
If you don't, it's an adult circumstance, guess what.
"" Yes.
The adults who were indoors are leaving.
"... May I?
The dean asks.
"Fine.
Apologize first, I'm sorry for taking care of you.
"No... so why is this happening?
"This is a bit of a hassle to make public, isn't it?
Of course I'll deal with it as it should with mine, but it's a little cumbersome for an orphanage to deal with.
And so is my identity.
I'm sorry about my unsolicited circumstances, but it's a decision that doesn't really work in this land either.
"Trouble... of slavery... was that the slave covenant clause just described?
"Yeah.
It would have been the right thing to do if we had called a civilian or a martial officer and asked him to respond immediately.
But we can't do this publicly because we're caught up in a clause that says we won't allow slaves to enter into slavery contracts in this country.
It's probably impossible for an orphanage to handle this.
And if you expose it, it's against the law, and it's not strange that they shut down the orphanage.
Different?
"... yes, you're right.
"But as a man of this country, I support the Director's hidden judgment as a matter of good sense.
I didn't want to overlook this either.
So I ask the Dean to tell me that he only stayed with the travelers, that the kids he was taking just because he was treated didn't know he was a slave (...), and that I, the traveler who happened to visit, took them away.
This is not a favor. I will force you to upgrade it.
That's what I'm going to tell everyone involved.
Are you sure?
"Yes... but isn't that going to leave you with all the responsibility?
"It's where I want it.
Well... then it's my nature, but I say Takeo Elvis Kitamizato.
"Takeo Elvis Kitamizato..."
"I am the one who plans to be entrusted with the Royal Institute in the territory of Count Elvis.
This time I became a nobleman by medalling a new Viscount title.
"Shit... Viscount!
Ko... this is so fucking disrespectful!!!
The dean comes to thank me enough to rub my forehead against my desk.
"Haha, never mind.
And raise your face. Let's move on.
"Yes... sorry..."
The dean slowly looks up but looks pale.
"Well, I'll take full responsibility for this slave thing.
There is no particular need to speak out after this because this is a problem.
I will talk to the Count so that if you repeat what I just said as it is, it will be over.
"... will you be all right?
"I'm fine.
Because it will.
Well, it's from here.
What I don't really want to say is that this is Count Godwin territory.
The fact that nobles from a different lineage than those who govern... well, clearly, the outside world is bad.
You won't be dissatisfied with the fact that I got my hands on it because you know the circumstances that made it urgent for Dean.
"Naturally.
As a result, those men were also helpful and returned to the country, the children were helpful... and there is no further solution.
"Yes, but when this leads to talk to other cities, other realms and Wang Du, there could be a spread of rumors that 'Count Godwin does not give satisfactory funding to the orphanage, a situation that other nobles support'.
"No way... such a thing..."
"Unfortunately, it can be.
Bad rumors in the world are something that spreads all at once, which is funny and weird too.
I do not want to discredit the Count Godwin family, nor am I willing to.
So are you sure that I only responded as a traveler (...)?
"Yes... but your name..."
"A pseudonym is fine with John Doe.
"Dear Traveler Doe, right?
"Yeah, that's fine.
And in return for making a donation, what... can you stay here today?
"I don't mind that, but I would also like to make the aristocrats such... dishes..."
"I'm a traveler now.
Besides, I'd like to keep the food here.
"Nothing..."
"I don't mind.
It's also good for me to know what kind of meal you're eating, what ingredients you're using, and what you're missing if you know what the kids in town are eating and what they taste like.
Well, you can't say from me that you don't have enough funds in the first place, so please coordinate with the civilian.
"Ha... we both operate with the funds that the Count has solidly asked for.
"That was good.
Then that's it for this matter.
Um... could you get me and my men a room?
Also, we'll meet one person later, so make sure you have a place for him to sleep.
"Yes, I'm in awe.
"As a precaution, we're only travelers.
No special treatment is required.
"Yes, I'll get you ready.
The director snorted.
