Chapter 52-: The dark part of the city

(TL By GUST)

I hurried back to the inn and joined Kanade and Tania.

As it is, devise future measures in the room.

"Nyaa ... I can't forgive that happened!"

"What's that, it's not all you want to do!"

Kanade and Tania, who heard the story, were indignant as if they were themselves.

It's proof that you care about Sora and Luna.

At times like this, I'm happy with the reaction between the two.

I felt that trust was steadily accumulating among us.

"I heard from the people in the city that the lord's son ... Edgar's domineering behaviour has been going on for a long time. I take a woman about once a month ... I can't put it into words. I'm doing it. "

Before returning to the inn, I first asked the people of the city about Edgar to discuss future measures.

I was able to hear a lot of stories because I had a bad impression on Edgar and we helped the people in the city.

"Things that can't be put into words ... Nyaa"

Kanade turned red.

"Are you really moody?"

"Well, that's not the case !? I haven't thought about anything strange !?"

"I'm suspicious"

"Yes, there. The story is derailed."

"Yeah. Anyway, as far as I can tell, it looks like a ridiculous man."

"It's a so-called female enemy."

"I've heard this too ... I can't refuse, and it seems that those who oppose are making up treason or appropriate sins and catching them. They're fools who can't help. I would have encountered something like that. "

"Some people have abandoned the city and fled because they were targeted by Edgar."

"It's terrible ..."

"That guy is the son of a lord ... at all. It's a typical example that if you give power to an idiot, you're not a lok."

"... The problem is that we were targeted."

A man named Edgar ... I only met him once, but he seemed to have a very obsessive personality.

He refused his request, beat the escort, and shamed him in the public eye.

It is unlikely that there will be nothing in the future.

"I was wondering, though."

Tania raises her voice.

"What is the lord doing? Is your son doing whatever he wants, but leaving it alone?"

"That's a headache ..."

"It seems that he is fond of his only son. Instead of blaming his son for his sins, he seems to have wiped out the case."

"teeth?"

"The people of the city seem to have petitioned or filed a direct complaint with the soldiers ... the Knights. The lord is not the king, but the one who has been given some reign by the country. If it is judged that it is not appropriate, I should be dismissed ... "

"It seems that the Knights have been audited several times so far. However, it seems that they have come to the conclusion that there is no evidence in any of them. The ability to destroy evidence seems to be considerable."

"Rumor has it that the lord not only protects his son, but also enjoys it with him."

"..."

Tania is stunned,

"... Okay. I'm going to burn the lord's mansion from now on."

Somehow, he said something ridiculous with a straight face.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"Any, why stop !?"

"Don't be crazy! If you do that, you'll be really charged with treason !?"

"Then, what are you going to do !? At this rate, Sora and Luna will be treated like stupid lords and children!"

"I won't let you do that!"

"Tsu"

"Be sure to protect Sora and Luna. Of course, protect Tania and Kanade."

"……rain……"

"Absolutely. You can promise. I won't let everyone touch one finger."

"... That's right."

Tania sits in a chair, apparently regaining her composure.

"... What. It's not cool."

"Yes?"

"No, nothing"

Tania is in a hurry for some reason.

I'm curious ...

Now let's move on.

"In case of emergency, I'm willing to use my strength, but that's a last resort. First, let's think about what we can do now."

"Nya ... But what can I do? Do you want to make sure you can't play around again?"

"I didn't say that if you did that, you would be charged with treason. It would have been dangerous if you had reached out to the lord's son as well as the escort in the case of the square."

"When it comes to ... I don't think I can understand it."

Kanade who turns his eyes around.

I might have thought too much and the thinking circuit was short-circuited.

"How about reminding Sora that it's dangerous to reach out?" Sora suggests.

"What do you mean?"

"Show the power of Sora to the son of the lord. Then, negotiate not to touch Sora. Because of his excellent ability to destroy evidence, the other party should not be stupid. If you show, you may think that it is dangerous to reach out to Sora and retire. "

"Um. I was thinking about the same thing."

"Sure, it might be an ant ..."

"Nyan? Instead of being an ant, Rain has a funny face."

Tania sighs with the feeling that she should do it.

"Shall I guess what Rain is thinking now?"

"Huh?"

"If we do what Sora says, our problem may be solved, but the people of the city will still weep over the domineering behaviour of the lord ..."

"..."

"Hit?"

"Oh, oh ... that's the correct answer."

Was it read by thinking?

Tania brilliantly guessed what I was thinking so much that I thought about it.

"Nya, that's a Rain-like opinion."

"Rain is a ridiculous person, isn't he? He's not about himself, he's even worried about other people."

"That's ... but can't it be helped? If you know this, you can't leave it alone."

"Do it. Our Lord is annoying."

But ... and Luna grins.

"I don't hate that idea."

"Sora and the others were saved by that part of Rain. If you want to help the people of the city, I agree."

"... Is it okay? You might cross a dangerous bridge, right?"

"You will protect us, right?"

"That's of course"

"Then, I believe in that word. I believe in Rain. That's my answer!"

"I feel the same as Rain. I get delicious food and teach me various things ... I'm indebted to the people in the city. If I'm in trouble, I'd like to help."

I'm glad that everyone agreed.

I'm glad that you thought about the people in the city.

I mean ... it may be an exaggeration, but I felt like I was about to cry.

That's how everyone's words shook my heart.

"OK! Then the basic policy is to solve this problem from the ground up?"

""""No objection!""""

Everyone nodded all at once.

"Let's give a bubble to the lord and his son who are doing playful things."

"My arms ring!"

"But what exactly do you do? What can you do?"

"That's right ..."

think.

How to establish our safety.

How to protect the peace of the people of the city.

How to stop a domineering lord.

What are the conditions to meet all of them?

"... Isn't the Knights audited several times in the past?"

I recalled the story I heard from the people of the city.

"Well, I hear that."

"But the result is that no evidence is found and you can't punish, right?"

In other words, if the evidence is found, the lords will be punished.

"I can't find any evidence ... I want to hear more about that story."

"Did you come up with something?"

"They are evading audits by obliterating the evidence. If they can find a way ..."

"In other words ... deprive the ability to destroy evidence and have it audited. Doing so exposes the lords' wrongdoing?"

"Tania, correct answer"

"Nyaa! Then the people in the city can help."

"But it's not as easy as it sounds? It's usually not possible that it's moving pretty flashy but no evidence is left. What kind of method are you using?"

"That's the problem, isn't it?"

How are the lords obliterating the evidence?

After clarifying it, we will have it audited again.

Then all the wrongdoing will be revealed and the lords will be punished.

But I don't know how to obliterate the evidence.

I think about this and that, but all of them are just imagination.

I can't find a clear answer.

"... No. I can't find the answer just by thinking."

"Nya ... what should I do?"

"Let's go talk to someone who is familiar with this issue."

"Nyan? Who is the person who knows it?"

"Knights"
