It was no wonder that I was confused when I heard those words.
The Adventurerâs Guild is not only responsible for the cityâs mission list, but also for maintaining its security.
It was officially supposed to be the knights of the lord that were supposed to maintain security âŠ
But there are places that the Knights alone cannot reach.
Aside from the big crimes, small incidents happen countless times every day.
The Knights cannot afford to deal with each one of them.
However, if you have a guild who have more than double the number of adventurers as knights can easily deal with it.
So the Adventurerâs Guild also plays a role in maintaining the security of the city.
Itâs power and authority being relatively large.
Ocassionally they might even want to detail knights when they find them guilty for any kind of crime.
This time around the situation and the exercise of authority were no different.
But why Anju?
She shouldnât have done anything to be detained âŠ
âStupid !? A restraint order for the young lady ⊠What was the basis for the guild to make such a decision !?â
âThat âŠâ
Her pupils flickered left and right as she seemed to be reluctant to saying it out aloud. Her eyes had been specifically pointing towards me.
It may be difficult for her to talk in front of my presence.
âIt doesnât matter, talk. Rather, it may be better to consult Haru-san and the others.â
âYes, I see ⊠that, according to the Adventurerâs Guild âŠâ
A party visited a certain armor shop.
The party bought enough to please the owner.
And at the time of accountingâŠ
[âIâm the daughter of the lord of Arland, Anju, the saint! You should be happy. You can advertise your small fry store as somewhere I had came to buy. Oh yeah. Send the bill at my mansion, okay see you.â ]
It was reported that the culprit left the store without paying.
The owner of the shop seems to have recently moved to Arland and doesnât know much about Anju.
However, since the culprint was a saint, the owner was convinced that the culpritâs claims were true.
But today.
When he had requested for the payment, he had to only go home empty handed.
He felt that he was deceived and thus submitted a damage report to the Adventurerâs Guild.
If the saint of the land commits a fraud, it will lead to a rather bigger problem.
Thatâs why, the investigation was carried out immediately ⊠and it had continued until now.
âSure, Iâve heard from the other maids that a merchant had came with such a claim, but itâs not possible. The young lady hasnât been shopping for the past few days, and she was traveling with Haru-sama and Alice-sama. I was there too. â
âYes, I said that, but probably because of multiple complaints, the Adventurerâs Guild didnât listen ⊠and even issued a detention order. From the guild. People have been dispatched, and they are already here ⊠â
It was exactly thenâŠ
âIâll have to trouble you here.â
It was a large adventurer, about 30 years old, who entered the room without hesitation.
Grinning while messing with the stubble on his chin with his fingertips.
âWho are you? I donât remember inviting someone like you to the Autumn family.â
âHey, itâs a grumpy maid. Should I laugh at this a little more?â
â⊠I will consider you as a suspicious person and eliminate you!â
Out of nowhere, Nine picked up her twin sword.
I wonder if itâs hidden somewhere inside her clothes so she can pick them out whenever she wants.
She ran at the speed of the wind and swung the twin blades at the grinning man.
For the time being, it seemed that she had adjusted the trajectory, and was attacking from the blunt side of the blade.
However,
âOops, thatâs dangerousâ
âWhat !?â
The man pinched the twin swords with both hands and two fingers and shoved them away.
What a dynamic visual acuity and reflexes.
Besides, his power too is incredible.
To face off an acrobat like Nine-san with such a cool face âŠ
This man is quite capable.
âWell, calm down. I didnât come here to fight.â
âWhat are you playing around with âŠ! I heard that the Adventurerâs Guild issued an order to detain the young lady! If you were dispatched from there, you would be buying the animousity of the young lady!â
âI do not want to⊠fightâ
âI wonât let lay even one finger on my lady!â
When Nine let go of the twin swords, as she switched her armament to just an empty fist.
With a swiftly flowing movement, fist and kick and then again fist were alternately delivered.
Itâs was very smooth and skilled attack, that appeared as if she was spinning like a top.
However, it still doesnât do any good to the man. It was useless.
He caught every one of them and avoided them in mere millimeters.
âHey, stop this ⊠at least listen to what people have to say!â
âWhat!?â
The man quickly became impatient and decided to fight back.
Itâs was a sharp blow in between an accurate gap between her attacks.
Thatâs bad!
âShield!â
âWhat !?â
The magic shield I deployed blocked the manâs fists at once.
âOh ⊠fuck, what is this !?â
The man fist collided as they were squashed against the magical shield.
It was like hitting an iron wall with him hitting it with full force, so the reaction too would be equally convincing.
âTuuuu ⊠what is this? Magic âŠ? Did your just do it?â
âOh, thatâs right.â
âItâs amazing ⊠not only to develop magic in such an instant, but also to aim between me and the maid, so precisely ⊠and the strength is outstanding. Brother, arenât you quite the unique one here?â
âUm ⊠maybe?â
I understand that Iâm a little weird because everyone kept telling me this and that.
However, itâs embarrassing to admit that Iâm the only one who is weird âŠ
I accept that I am a little stupid.
âNice ⊠the world is so big. To meet someone as strong as brother. By the way, can you please step back?â
âEh? I donât want to fight either, as long as you donât touch Anju and Nine âŠâ
âThen, what would you say if I were to force the saint and that maid to be restrained?â
â⊠At that time, I will stand against you with all of my mightâ
âWhat!?â
With a firm determination in my heart, I strongly said it.
Then the man quivered.
âWell, whatâs this pressure âŠ!? Why am I trembling âŠ!?
âAre you seriously going to act upon your current words? Answer!â
â⊠I see. I lost. I wonât do that, I swear.â
âIf itâs so, then okayâ
When he stops glaring, the man sighs while wiping his sweat.
âFuuuu ⊠I was scared. To think even before the fight I gave in⊠thereâs a guy who can make me think that I stand no chance ⊠the world is really wide. And, I donât like it. â
âIt feels like an overestimate âŠâ
Because I havenât done anything yet at all.
âMy brother seems to underestimate himself. Iâll have to ask you to correct that misunderstanding, I havenât seen a monster like him.â
ââŠâ
âOops, my bad. I just wanted to say that you are amazing. Well, my choice of words were bad. Iâm sorry.â
Hmm, I was about to complain butâŠ
Since he had honestly apologized, I canât really complain anymore.
Surprisingly, he was a good person âŠâŠ?
âSo ⊠I want to get back to the main subject, is that okay?â
âAre you going to detain Anju? Then I âŠâ
âAh, wait, wait. Listen to me first.â
ââŠâŠlets listenâ
âEven if she is detained, they are not arresting or interrogating her by any means. I donât know much ⊠but I feel like theyâll be watching over her while they clear the charges.â
