I know there isn't anyone left in this workshop, but I can't not do anything in front of Zena-san

"Zena-san, let's evacuate the children for the tio outside the workshop while bringing the children

"Who are you onii-chan?"

"Will you bringcandies to the little girls, I check their skills

Apparently, they were ifts

They were et slave-contracted ahead of tiet to the workshop's courtyard, the children ere confined in the cellar come out, led by Shin boy

"Deliverance~?"

"Rescue complete nanodesu"

"You two did well"

I catch the tho are reporting mission complete in my arms and pat their heads

I instruct Shiro and Croho cao to where Arisa and the others are and to bring the guards

Now then, time to question the boss

I order Liza to pour water to his head to rouse him up

"Buwaah--, tch Pathetic, everyone's captured huh"

"Answerthe hero if you want totongue

"Are you the one who ordered people to kidnap children with cloth wrapped on their ar when I question him

Let's bluff here

"Your silence is already an answer The other guys have already confessed you see? What I want to hear froe-aniki even if you tear apart this body Don't luuy is really connected to Mirage too

I've thought of this before, but Interrogation skill is dangerously effective

Afterwards, I questioned hiathered orphans and broke people of the sluathered people were probably the countless corpses that were in the earl round cave

The boss isn't directly acquainted with the evil directors, but they were in touch through the direct subordinates of Mirage

It seeather the sacrifices every odd o

The last one was several days before the incident of the year-end

I also confir about the Orbs, but his replies were are all irrelevant

Apparently, these guys aren't related to the Orb h possibility that they're unrelated to the green de I wanted to hear from the boss, so I separate from everyone with nature's call as an excuse

Just in case, I told Liza that I was going to capture the other cri place for stagecoaches in the royal capital's eastern gate using Unit Arrange?"

"What do you want!"

I catch the shoulder of the orphanage director who's carrying a big bag and talk

"Eey, let go! Do you not know courtesy!"

The orphanage director struggles to shake offto escape the royal capital by riding the stagecoach

He probably sensed the danger for hiood intuition

"Do you know Mirage?"

"W-what is it about? Talk to other people if you're mistaken me with so due

"--Then what about the 'arm cloth'?"

With that, the evil director shakes in surprise, and tries to run off to the stagecoaches while pushing the other passengers

Looks like he takes part in the kidnapping case

I catch his shoulder when he's about to get on the stagecoach, and hurl hiold coins flows out of his bag

"Orphanage director nowadays see at that, I scowl at the evil director

"O, oy, it's gold coins"

"Woow"

The old coins, but no one tries to steal it, uard station nearby

"Oy! What are you doing in front of the gate"

"Guards, arrest this guy"

I show the dagger with Mitsukuni crest to the guards and order theot as Nanashi

There are three evil directors including this one The other two are arrested in their orphanages

After questioning the third evil director, I push theent bureau

Zena-san and the guards were panicking when I snatched the boss as Kuro, but since I've told Liza and the others that Kuro's identity isnature's call, I returned to where everyone was

As for the treat to the prireater deed of treason to be put for capital punishe directors?"

"Yeah, they were just in for the money They were acquainted with the earl in question after he donated to the orphanages"

In order to have a secret talk, I put Arisa on my shoulders and parade around the auction venue

I let the guards to handle the orphans I gave the guard leader one gold coin as a bonus, so they es properly

"However, to be thanked by a defiant handsome boy in quiteabout the curt thank you of Shin boy e parted

It's hard for ree with Arisa's remark, but it's not like I can't understand if I were to put irl's shoes

'Kyururuu', I heard a sound fro Attentive Ears skill, I'irls who have been buying and eating, the four people of Zena squad haven't eaten anything since ry

It's already way past 2 PM when I check on the clock

Looks like wehungry Let's get soood shop! Arisa-chan recoestion first

There wasn't particular shop I wanted to go, so ent to the so-called creative cuisine shop Arisa recoe

It's near the knight school of the royal acadeoya Firm's workshop

It seems to be the Soba shop that Nell had a meal at back then

"Here it is!"

Arisa points to a two-story building restaurant while looking proud

"The gyuudonburi here is delicious nodesu!"

"Like gyuu gyuu~ it's packed with deliciousness~?"

Looks like Pochi and Tama too have come here to eat with their classmates after school and between-meal snacks

"It smells nice of er?"

Lulu and Liza seery too, they're sensitive to the smell

◇

"Occha~n! Is the back private roo lady Sorry, but the back roo old shopkeeper who has thick body hair comes out of the kitchen

There are only several people by the counter inside the store, so all the eight tables inside are e unusual All the tables are available, so you can sit wherever you like"

"Ho~i"

We secure three six-people tables inside and sit down

Zena-san and her squad are in the table close to the entrance since they act as the bodyguards

"What do you like to order?"

"Do you have any recommendation?"

As to be expected of this country's literacy rate, there's no yuudonburi nanodesu!"

"Mwu, kakiage"

I was actually asking the shopkeeper, but Pochi and Mia quickly tolda bit expensive, I recoo with that How about everyone?"

Looks like karage (fried food) have begun to spread in the royal capital

I urge everyone to order

"Viscount-sa to Lilio's unreserved re you like without h, liquor is prohibited okay"

"Alright, as expected of noble-sama!"

"Then I want the most expensive dish!"

"W-wait Ruu!"

"Ruu, let's have some talk later"

Zena-san and Miss Iona raise their eyebrows to Ruu's remark

"Oy oy, our most expensive dish is two silver coins y'know?"

"I don't yuudonburi nanodesu"

"Tae special like Master's please"

"Kakiage special"

After Pochi, Tama, Lulu and Mia, everyone tells their order to the shopkeeper

He sure canwith a serious face speaks her order

"I'll go with gyuudon set, kakiage, and cold tofu with a lot of spring onions"

Arisa--I can hear the wailing call of diet y'know?
