Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

- The next morning. We were dropped off by Mr. Kyle and left Regic Village. Heading that way is a rail installation worksite that is being done somewhere along the street.

That's why we're going back down the street to the city of Mullet. That's how, about a moment later, I found Karina and the others to proceed with the work on the rail installation.

I asked everyone to wait a little while before I got off the carriage and headed to Karina's place. As always, Karina was on-site commander in a short bread on the tank top.

"- Karina."

"Who are you to call upon - Master Lion? What are you doing here?

"Let me ask you something. Whatever, they stole the rail?

"That's right. You can't forgive me for saying that the rails were laid with soul! Could you have come to catch the killer?

"I'm going to. So, you didn't even look at the killer?

"No, that's... I'd like to see the rails of the place I've already laid, stolen during the night. The people who delivered the rails here told me and I realized. I'm sorry I didn't help you."

"No, never mind"

I've already gotten reports from Claire and Acorn around there. That's just a confirmation. That's why I ask the question of fate.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with the rail thing, but the deal carriage's actually missing, too. According to the information, we should have gone this way... haven't you seen it?

"Carriage, hey... I remember if you called from the other side because you guys are focused on the work... what kind of guy?

"The carriage was specially made by the Acorn Chamber of Commerce, and the merchant who was your..."

I've heard from Acorn, tell him about the characteristics of a carriage or merchant that recently went missing.

"Mm-hmm. If it's an Acorn Chamber carriage, I see it every day, but I don't know if the carriage the guy was on went through. Anyone remember seeing him?

Karina will ask the other workers, but she didn't get the information she wanted.

I thought maybe... no. If this happens, do you want to snuff around the Inn Town, or disguise yourself as a merchant...

"-Lion, do you think you can get useful information?

Soon Alice came next door. Guess he didn't smell good from our interactions and came out of the carriage to listen.

"There's no sighting of the bandits, and it's unclear if the missing carriage went through here."

"Oh well... did you hear about the reputation of the Inn Town?

"... haven't you heard?

Why - and when I looked at Alice, for some reason, I was looked at with a frightening eye.

"Kyle said there was some reputable lodging town."

"Oh, no, you did"

"- I've heard rumors about a reputable lodging town."

Karina, who was listening to our interactions, comes in broken.

"Can you tell me more about that story?

"Oh, I don't mind. I just... the merchant grandma who called out to us was foolish that she didn't have a good attitude anymore. It didn't happen until a while ago."

"Hmm. It sounds like that village, too, Mr. Kyle said. Do you know the name of the village?

"Name? Name... Ugh, I don't think you said that when I was talking to you. Has anyone heard of him?

Karina will ask the people around her again, but everyone still shook their necks sideways.

I was wondering if this wouldn't work, but the young man who was working a little further away said, "I heard a similar story, but my father said Ayashi Village or something."

"- Even Ayashi Village!?

What a suspicious name - Karina barked her voice at the same time I thought.

"Does Karina know the village of Ayashi?

"Whatever you know, the village is your home.... and dude. So you're saying that the old man in the merchant squad was talking about his hometown?

"Yeah... well, I guess so, huh?

I can't think of anything else, but I hear it's Karina's hometown and clouds the word.

"I'm not kidding. Everyone in the village is proud to entertain travelers. It's a mistake to have a bad reputation!

"I don't doubt that word... but it's true what the merchants were saying, isn't it? Aren't you replacing it or changing your policy?

"That's impossible. Everyone helped me when I said I wanted to go to Mullet School. Everyone in the village is a really good one."

"Right..."

At least, there won't be any lies in Karina's words. But there's no reason for a merchant to lie.

"Master Lion, please. Can you check on Ayashi Village?

How's it going, huh?

"I'd really like to go... but I can't leave this job alone. As an artisan, I got this job because I wanted to repay everyone in Ayashi Village"

"Oh... because the opening of the railway carriage will lead to the development of the village of Ayashi"

"That's right. So I have to make sure this job succeeds."

"So you want me to see it instead?

"I know it's an unsolicited favor. But please."

Karina bows her head deeply. That's all I care about my hometown, I guess.

I wanted you to do Karina such a favor.

Besides, I'm not even looking for a bandit at the moment. There will be some interviews in the Inn Town. I said, "I'll take care of it."

"Huh? Are you sure you want to see this?

"I don't know what to say in lieu of that, but will you keep the rumors of the bandits from the travelers?

"I'd be happy to do that. I'm sorry about that, but it's a pleasure to meet you."

That's why we're going to see how Ayashi Village is doing. As always, the healthy Karina drops us off and we resume our carriage journey.

Sophia leaned over as she was rocked by the cozy vibrations of the carriage.

"Hey, hey, Lion, brother, how long does it take to get to Ayashi Village?

"Yeah... as far as simple maps go, maybe for a moment"

The village of Ayashi is a little bit ahead of the city of Mullet and the midpoint of Liselheim. It is a village belonging to the territory of Giori Granchez.

By the way, my answer is vague because the map is vague. Surveying is a technology behind us, so this map of the world lacks accuracy. It's good because it's a village along the street, but if not, it was a hard place to look.

"... maybe we should hurry a little."

"Hmm? Is there something?

Feel the disturbing air from the tone and turn your gaze. Sophia rode herself out to ride on me and looked up at the sky through the window.

"The sky please... ugly"

When is it done, the rain clouds are coming out? Because it was sunny when I was traveling...... will it keep raining again? The carriage has a roof, but I want it to stop because I feel like I'm going to perish. How dare you, I decided to rush the carriage just a little bit.

That's not enough for a moment, and you can see the village of Ayashi and the village of Booby.

"Hey, hey, Lion. Brother, is that Ayashi Village?

"I guess. But he said he had a bad reputation... and he said he was welcome."

I look through the window at the entrance to the village. There were two greetings and a bumpy villager waiting for us to arrive.

I will speak to you and ask you to stop in front of the villagers. That's how he faces out of the open window and speaks to the villagers.

"Sorry, is this Ayashi Village?

"Yeah, you're right, Ayashi Village. So, what about you? Does that carriage crest look like something from Count Granchez's house?

"Oh. I am the head of the Granchez family. It's Lyon Granchez. We recently stopped by to investigate a case that's been disturbing the neighborhood."

The moment I say that, the two villagers look at each other.

"... what's wrong with you?

"Oh no, I never thought your lord would come to a village like this, so it's not easy. May I show you to the village chief?

"Right, so please"

"I made it easy. I'll lead the way, so you can't follow me."

Say it quickly, or one of the villagers tries to lead the carriage, and starts running for a small run. As followed, the carriage also left - Sophia pulled my sleeve hard.

"... Sophia?

Looking back at what was going on, Sophia had such a harsh look on her face that she had never seen it before. That's how you whine.

"My current uncle, he's killing people. Lots of that too. It was those people who attacked the carriage."

- It was a fatal word.
