Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

On the day we returned to Pinning after nearly a month of escort duty, we were spending the night in the Viscount Nenas room we used before we left.

And the afternoon after that it was called a room I used previously in buying a family heirloom sword.

Upon entering there, Viscount Naenas himself, besides the butler Mr. Bezel, Master Ilias, and Mr. Arlin, had their faces together.

Sitting back on the couch as recommended, Viscount Naenas opens his mouth.

"First of all, escort duty, thank you. Thank you very much for saving Elias' life from the dangerous thieves."

"No, because that's what the escort does."

The danger of thieves was more than I could imagine, but that's why it would be different to complain.

It would have been unexpected as Viscount Nenas, and since he is an escort to avert danger, there is no way he can complain about a thief coming out.

"Furthermore, it seems that they have also responded to a sudden request. This is a different thing from the original request, naturally, let's have a different reward."

"Yes, thank you"

By the way, I've already received the courtesy of me and Hulka as part of my reward.

It's not like they can't be sold as old clothes, but they're made to fit their shape, so it would be more valuable to give them to us as a reward.

"So... there's one more thing I'd like to ask you guys to do and I have to apologize..."

I have such a bad feeling about the words of Viscount Nanas, who is badly toothed.

Lady Ilias... has not heard anything, the usual look on her face.

Mr. Bezel's not gonna show up on his face, is he?

Mr. Arlyn also only smiles nicely at my gaze.

Or, you can't possibly not ask.

When I turn my gaze to Halka and Natsuki, I nod with no expression, so I turn my gaze back to Viscount Naenas.

Let me ask you something.

"Maybe you've pinched it in your ears, but here in Pinning, there's been a kidnapping for a while."

Uh... oh, that's the guy Diola flagged me a long time ago, isn't it?

That time, I thought I folded it, and here you are collecting it?

"The numbers themselves are small. Probably less than ten. There's also a delay in discovering the case, and I'm having a hard time getting the full picture."

"I see."

I don't know what kind of person is missing, but to the extent that a few are gone if you're an adventurer, it's hardly a case.

If you go out of town, it's not so uncommon not to come back as it is, or just because you're going to another town doesn't mean you're going to declare it and leave town.

Given that, it is probably the town dwellers who are missing, but it is nevertheless quite diligent that even single-digit missing persons have their lords moving.

Death is quite common in this world, so it's normal not to care as much as a little less.

Maybe even important people are included in the missing person?

"What I'd like to ask you to do is investigate the case, locate the missing person, and, if possible, solve it."

"It's... all the leading soldiers are being investigated, right? We're not your experts. I just got my hands on it and I don't think I can expect much results..."

If it's a request to get rid of demons, it's still completely unprofessional to investigate.

Amateur detectives are a good place too.

There are only seven people who put in the Marys, and given the safety aspect, it is difficult to act in pieces. Just so we're clear, where we took part in the investigation, it would be water on the burning stone.

"Hmm. I understand that. But I'm understaffed. The Ekarts will be somewhat better when they return, but still...... It has to do with another apology..."

Is it rather difficult to say, Viscount Naenas silenced for a moment and opened his mouth to the most part.

"The Virgin Satomi ran away"

"" "...... Huh!

"Are you serious?!?"

You can't help but think that Toya accidentally leaked her voice.

We didn't leak our voices, either, breathe and look at each other.

"I'm sorry you guys caught me because of this. This time the guard of Ilyas was targeted at a gap where the number of soldiers was reduced."

"(Wow...)"

"(We're sure to be the enemy)"

"(If I say that, it's me. All of a sudden it's belly bread, huh?

"(Should I have turned down the evil roots then?

Us holding our heads and talking in a whisper.

Hulka says something a little scary, but it's also a reality that can't be called a mistake.

Or, after all, wasn't he executed yet?

From Arlyn's reaction at that time, I felt that way.

"Of course, we made immediate arrangements, but there's a good chance we're already on the run from this pinning"

In Kerg, he was on the lookout for escape and pretty firmly imposed a town blockade, but the Pinning Gate was in a normal position until the escape was discovered.

If you go in, you check your guild card, you collect taxes, and the gatekeeper handles it quite well, unless you're suspicious enough to leave.

I know that Satomi will be trapped in town if she falls apart, so I think she got out of town quickly.

You mean you need a lead soldier to search for it?

"Oh. It's you guys who caught Satomi, but one way or another, the investigation inside would be better suited than a search outside town, wouldn't it?

Whichever is right is subtle, but certainly not for searches outside the town where organised action is required.

"As a reward, I'm supposed to give you dungeons. Let's give the entrance six kilometers of land around. Of course, it's not a promise, I'll register with the King's Capital exactly."

Unlike Japan, private ownership of land in this country is difficult to navigate.

For example, the land of the house we live in.

That's our land we bought, but it's the lord here, or Viscount Nenas, who admits this.

Conversely, when Viscount Nenas says' no ', it can sometimes be taken up.

But "Registration in the King's Capital" is different.

Under Lordship certification, once registered, only the owner himself or the king can overturn it.

Viscount Nenas later said, 'I knew it!' You can't say that.

So Viscount Nenas' offer is pretty broken... because it's useless, you know.

Even from us, there's nothing we can do where we got all that land.

If you dare to think about how to use it, before the dungeon, would you be free to build a rest shed or a storeroom or something?

But in fact, even if I don't own it, I don't think anybody's coming to complain about it.

To be clear, it is subtle as a reward.

………

"Then I will protect you from other nobles, colors and interference, and I promise not to bother you from home."

No, other nobles are likely to interfere in the first place because they went to the reception on request, right?

Besides, I've been told that things are troublesome in their current form.

Not even tyranny, but nobility in all things.

"... may I talk to you for a moment?

"Oh, sure. Right, let's take our seats off a little bit. Arlyn gave them tea."

"Yes, sir."

The Viscounts of Naenas rose up and left the room, and Mr. Arlyn also withdrew as soon as he made us tea.

And after a while, Toya groaned with her head.

"Uh-oh, what are you doing letting me get away with super important dangerous people..."

"It's because you're a dangerous person, isn't it? No matter how poorly trained you are, you can't get away with it."

"No way, he smashed the walls of the house and fled," he said.

If it's a flashy escape, the town should be shut down immediately.

From Viscount Nenas' story, it seems that he hadn't noticed it for some time since his escape, and given that, the formula is high that he escaped costly with some skill.

"It would be best if the lead soldiers caught it exactly or disposed of it as it were..."

"A little, too, I find that difficult. Is it bad luck to run away somewhere else and stay out of our way?"

"... Satomi is the one who caused our house to burn, right?

"Well, it's a distant cause, isn't it? Directly, it looks like the landlord lit the fire."

"Really... you were still alive"

The eyes of Mary, who squeals and squeals, are dark.

This doesn't seem like a good idea to pull much talk.

"Well, more than that, it's a request, but what do we do? Do you want to take it?"

"The reward isn't that appealing."

"Even if you get land in the woods, there is something about it, right? I have no use for it."

"Like cutting open a gut, farming? Maybe as a post-retirement life."

"I'm just glad you have land!

Whatever Toya is, the reaction of the women is not fragrant.

"So, but isn't it great to get such a big land? Farmers have fields they can inherit..."

"If I could marry a farmer's heir, I'd be a success!

Listening to Meatier, I'm concerned about the two fathers, their educational policies.

But it's not wrong just to be very realistic, and it's also true that being able to eat is of the utmost importance.

It's love. What, in a way, is a rich luxury. This is a cynical world.

"Meetia, it's tough to farm the woods, huh? We have to cut down the trees."

"Work hard!

"Because demons are coming, we need to crusade them, too, right?

"You work very hard!

Meetia, is there any thought in the land as well?

After all, is it because you're a "successful man”?

I have nothing to say to my negative remarks, I squeeze my hands together, my nose is rough, and I insist.

The Hulkas also smile bitterly and breathe in such a meatier appearance.

"... but essentially, you don't have a choice to say no, do you? Noble interference, we need that jetty."

"To hear about Hulka, the reception seems to be the direct cause, but if we raise the rank, we would have ended up needing it at some stage, the asylum of the nobles"

Halka nods as she agrees with it, adding another.

"Maybe that way, it includes things about magic bags, right? If it's just self-consumption, it doesn't seem like a problem, but it's not a bad thing, is it, back of the nobility?"

"Then the rest is a conditional struggle? I don't think we're gonna be able to negotiate much."

Hey, don't look at me there, Yuki.

Even you can't negotiate with nobles.

And...

"It's good to ask, but it's time for the dindle season to end."

"Yes, that's it. Dindle, it's important. step-in-law to Mr. Diola and for our diet."

As an essential ingredient in inspirational sauce, of course, to eat as it is.

That's the dindle.

Now we'd rather go pick it up for ourselves than sell it for money.

Besides, unlike last year, there are magic bags, so we can expect a significant increase in both the amount collected and the shelf life.

"I want Dindle to be sure to pick it up. I'll never forget the deliciousness of the dindle I ate then."

That's probably due to the continuing unsavory diet, but it's definitely delicious.

"Yeah, that's me too. And, when you do, will you wait a while..."

"Break up temporarily, right? Now, Nao and I are going to figure this out."

"Last year, the three of us, Harka and Nao and Toya, worked hard, didn't we?

"Well. I was just waiting. Because I can't climb a tree."

"That's when Toya was instrumental as a back-to-back luggage man and a force of war, right? Yeah."

"Given the efficiency, would it be better to break up? During that period, Toya and the others won't be forced to do it."

"Then what are the conditions for contracting the rest? It seems difficult to make additional requests..."

I feel like it's being used a little conveniently, but it's not worth the reward, but it's difficult.

It's not user-friendly, but it's pretty big to get land in the real sense.

"When it comes to financial difficulty, the rest is in kind? Like specialties...... furniture?

"No, then you should normally order from Mr. Simon."

Toya lightly denies what Yuki said with her little neck.

but I agree with that. Moreover, even though there is no need, it is only in the way.

"Yale! I have Yale!

"Oh... speaking of which, you had that. I totally forgot because I don't drink it. I remember you well, Meetia."

When I stroke the grizzly and its head, Meatier screams happily, "Eh heh."

But Yale. If you don't have any problems saving it, you may want to have it.

Sounds plain popular, maybe a souvenir for Tommy or some bargaining material for others.

"So you're going in that direction? I don't know if it's gonna work."

"Is that a sign of Nao's bargaining power? Gamba" "

"Yuki, don't put pressure on me with a smile..."

There's no way I can negotiate.

"You can take it easy. If you'll just admit what happened to Dindle, it'll be enough."

I replied with a sigh to Hulka, who smiled bitterly and slapped me on the shoulder.
