But youâre a boy with adventurers, arenât you?
Lieutenant Leah smiled at me.
âSure, the church asked me to make a search party, but I predicted it and told the top adventurers to look for the boy the night before. Well, thatâs all the gatekeepers know.â
âI see. Thatâs why the top adventurer moved three teams.â
âYes, the middle-adventurers are fine, but some of the lower-level adventurers are on the church side, so I tried to protect the boy before the search party left.â
Lieutenant Leahâs expression clouds.
The father who saw it exhales small.
âYes, my boy, Bis, heâs not an adventurer, heâs the second son of a merchant, and he doesnât know much about the woods. It must be difficult for him to hide from the top adventurers. But I couldnât find itâŚ..â
Even the top adventurers find it difficult to completely hide their tracks when they travel through the woods, Sifar said.
If a boy named Bis is not familiar with the woods, there will definitely be traces.
Without it⌠arenât you in the woods?
âIs there any chance youâre not in the woods?
So why did you think it was the woods?
You have to cross the gate to get out of the forest.
I think we can stop it at the gate.
âAh ~ Thatâs⌠actually, there was a gatekeeper who was close to the biscuit, and it seems that he got the confectionery from the biscuit, and he fell asleep after eating it during the break. Looks like he took some medicine.â
I see, let him sleep in the woods⌠did he really go to the woods?
Did you just make it look like that?
âThe woods donât show any trace because they look like they went to the woods.
Lieutenant Leah nods mysteriously.\n
âMr. Druid was a Merchant Guild card, but a former adventurer? I was surprised because it was sharp.â
âNo, youâll notice if you think about it a little bit. You noticed the top adventurers and Gilmus, right?
âWell, yes. I just listened to you, but itâs amazing.â
Your father smiles bitterly at Lieutenant Leahâs words.
âI think Ivy noticed, too. Did you notice?â
âUh, yes. I thought it was a fakeâŚ.â
If you listen to the stories, youâll normally notice, right?
In response, Lieutenant Leah opened her eyes a little.
âOh, maybe it was Gilmus who spread the rumor?
I heard that in the laundry today. Is that it?
âEr⌠yes. Yes, I canât count on the men in this village.â
The store owner shouted in disgust, but Lieutenant Leah ignored it beautifully.
âWomen help. If they glanced at each other, they wouldnât be able to do anything rude to the bishop, so the rumors spread quickly.â
Certainly the women in this village are going to be great watchmen.
I mean, if you want to protect me, Iâll attack you a little bit.
I see. Is this story a secret?
âThatâs right. Iâm sorry, but please donât tell anyone.â
Lieutenant Leah looked relieved by your fatherâs reply.
âI need to ask you something, okay?
âYes, it looks like you can help me, so Iâll answer if I can.â \nâWhy do nobles come to the church in this village?
Thanks, itâs like thereâs a lot of nobles gathering around.
In the case of aristocrats who say so, they will not come without profit.
âI donât know. In the old days, even if he had a bad attitude, he was quite involved with the village. But Iâve been distancing myself from the village for about 20 years, and my attitude has been getting worse. When I realized, the nobles came to the church with their patience, looking into what happened 20 years ago, and nothing came out.â
Lieutenant Leah makes a look of regret.
I donât think sheâs directly involved because she looks in her late 20s, but I get the impression that sheâs involved.
âIf I had been a little brave, I might have grabbed my tail.â
âHow old is Lieutenant Leah?
I donât think I can ask, but I care!
I thought you were in your late 20s.
Lieutenant Leah smiles happily at my words.
Laughing made me look a little younger.
âAh, I donât want to talk about this⌠eh? How far have we talked?
Now that we know everything, thatâs enough.
âOh, thatâs right. Please do not leave Ivy outside for a few days, as the nobles who came in with a stomach may like children. The nobles could use their power as a shield.â
\nâThatâs not true. If you order a lot, thereâs a good deal for you.â
âWell, please. Ah, can I order more?
â⌠maybe thatâs it.â
It would be interesting if something completely different came up.
âIvy, I want you to write down the vegetables you need.â
Itâs good to have something to do.
Still, if youâre going to be staying at the inn, should we leave when the building is finished?
If you stay longer, youâll be able to get involved with the church.
âUm, first, what you need for the bowl, then the salad and soup. Dad, do you have anything you want me to make? Iâll do my best to make anything.â
âOh, Iâm so gladâŚ. I ate it before, sliced the meat into thin pieces and sandwiched it in the bread⌠what was it? I canât remember his name.
I didnât really understand the difference with sandwiches, but I found a round white bread and tried it.
I cut the meat small and small, pinched it, stretched it thinly, baked it, sandwiched it in white bread and ate it.
âSure, thatâs the name?
Nh ~, if I go to the bakery and have a round white bread, I can do it, but itâs not much.
Go to the store and see⌠no.
I shouldnât have left the inn.
I knew it would be a little inconvenient.
