6-25 Battle of Muno City (3)

Satou's here A friend of ht up in a suspicious see of financial disaster

The history of brainwashing is old It also happens in the parallel world, but the method is a bit different

◇

Thanks to Pochi, we've become closer to the baron fas with the baron, but

"Then, you didn't issue order to collect congratulatory gifts from the people?"

"Of course I've heard from the consul that this year we have bad harvest If we do such things, the people would starve"

In fact, the people are abandoning the children and the elderly

"Do you know that every village is selling their people to the extent that merchants even avoid thee is prosperous, but we aren't collecting tax to the point that they would starve And this year, in accordance to consul's suggestion, we should have had shared food to theers that I've e head I don't think that the village head is eirl who jue today The coaches were not to be stopped even if it would kill the civilian who got ran over, is that true?"

"Unfortunately, that's the truth"

Oh, he's affirloomy It totally doesn't look like an attitude of, "Coe"

"Satou-sama, there's a reason for that The year before the last, the carriage that ot on had crashed into a child We ie and went to help the child, but ere surrounded in an instant and al about the time we meet?　Weren't the children and the people who surrounded you parts of thieves group called Muno Rebel and lurked in the city? It was the consul who told h"

"You onderful that tihter and hero who start to flirt Moreover, according to the daughter, the sahters had only directly involved in the sah ranking officials Particularly for the last incident involving a high-ranking official, his carriage was deliberately toppled by an attack froht have been exteranization called Muno Rebel in this whole city Of course, since there are underworld people here, it's hard to judge if they're thieves by just looking at their Reward and Punishment, but there isn't anyone who's affiliated with [Thief]

"Is the iestion from the consul too?"

"Actually, there were incidents where this territory's children and girls froot abducted and forced to becoestion of the consul, it's decided to put heavy tax on people who aren't legal slave traders or don't have pere head to prevent the criood will huh?　Any noble wouldn't want their population decrease, so there's probably that utility aspect too

"Coate?"

"Uers andvictiate them Since the consul has said that there'd be no probleate is closed shut, I approved the plan"

Okay, doubt

Didn't he just said that thieves had attacked the carriage inside the city earlier

Right now, there aren't even 10 soldiers inside the city There's only person who is a knight The reation To be frank, it's unthinkable

"Is it fine with the thieves who are hiding in the city?"

"It's fine since the consul has said that it's fine"

"Moreover, no , I'll exterminate them with this holy sword"

The fake hero follows up the baron's words After that, he begins to flirt with the young lady again, I ignore it

The consul huh He's quite trusted

Hmm? Now that you mention it, the one who everyone calls [The Consul] could only mean that

I search the consul on the map For the whole territory, not just the city

"If possible, I'd like to meet that consul-sama in person"

"But of course, he's just a bit busy now He's working in a separate building next to this one After he's finished with the job, he probably would show up his face"

The separate building huh, there's no consul there That means, the one they call consul isand check if he's in a jail or not

"Everyone has been calling hi what is the name of the consul?"

"Fumu, as it I wonder? I'et the naes"

I try to ask the daughter

"I should have called hi my childhood, but I often call him consul these days, so I don't remember it"

"I', so I don't know"

The maids don't know either

Situation like this is normally ietting is a person with not much presence, but it's too unnatural that no one knows the na is--

I look at the people who have answered my questions

--There's no one who thinks it's unnatural

◇

"Hmm? What's that?"

The fake hero looks at the opposite side of the balcony and asks a question

There are a lot of doors as tall as a person leading to the balcony in this room, and they're all open Since the rooround, it should have been cold, but it seems that the air floeen the rooic called Air Curtain

It's not only blocked, I wonder what's this strong feeling of being locked
