The moment he saw the person, Tarania stopped moving.
　Elena's good looks have captivated her, but that's not all.
　In the first place, there are two Marina and Vihela beside Ray, if they are as beautiful as Elena.
　The problem was that, after all, it was Elena was there.
　... yes, Elena Kelebel, who is also known as the symbol of the aristocracy.
　Needless to say, Elena's father, the Duke of Kelebel, is the leader of the aristocracy.
　Also, the aristocratic faction to which the local governor was dispatched belonged is also the aristocratic faction.
　That is to say, the person in front of Tarania today is the daughter of their boss.
　For Elena, Tarania would be in the position of being the second subordinate to the person her father hired.
　It wasn't a good opponent, if not very much.
　Furthermore, even though no information had come down to Tarania, the Duke of Quelevel has even issued a notice not to interfere with the construction of the Gillum.
　But, knowing or not, Ray never notices Tarania... or sees Tarania stiffened by seeing Elena, and says that this is an opportunity.

"This is Tarania," He seems to be under the direct supervision of Subursta's deputy. And they claim that the robbers we catch happen to be hunters in the woods, and that we illegally capture them and sell them off as slaves."
"... oh,"

　Hearing Ray's words, Elena takes a look at the robbers that the Rays -- other adventurers to be exact -- have captured, then at the thieves that Arra is pulling, and finally at Tarania.

"So the robbers I've caught are hunters, and we're catching them to illegally enslave them?"

　At Elena's words Tarania is at a loss of words.
　Nothing can be more than a grave for me in this situation.
　That's because I understand it that way.
　...however, the bandits who are captured will be punished after hearing the circumstances, and most of them will be sold off as slaves unless there is some special circumstance.
　In fact, adventurers are catching robbers for the money they have sold out as slaves, in addition to the reward they received from their requests to subdue them and the treasure they had accumulated.
　In that sense, not everything Tarania says is completely wrong.
　However, I can't possibly say here that it is.

"That's... you know..."

　Elena's gaze prompts him to speak, but Tarania only muddles his words.
　As Tarania looks at him, Arra finally brings the robbers to Elena's side and looks at him intensely.
　What lies in that gaze is unpleasantness.
　Even if we were a little far apart, of course Aarra could hear the story of Elena, Ray and Tarania.
　It is absolutely unacceptable for Arra to treat Elena, whom she adores, as an illegal slave merchant.
　And it's impossible, if not as much as Elena, to have such suspicions about them.

"You said you were under the direct supervision of the magistrate of Subursta, but I wonder if the magistrate -- let alone the superior -- knew this case?"

　It's cold, it's not the way to see, it's the way Tarania manages to mislead the situation.

(Why is Mr. Elena here!)

　It was Tarania's single and biggest miscalculation.
　We had received information that Elena was staying in Gillum, but only adventurers were working in this case.
　Tarania, however, learned of the incident only a short while ago.
　That's probably why it was completely unexpected that Elena was working with them.

"Cute? Cute?"
"Glu".

　Even if I try to talk, I can't talk.
　A short distance from Tarania, Seto and Yero are happily exchanging words.
　Those around Seto watched the conversation with a warm heart, but the air was completely different from where the Taranians were, and the world was different.

"You don't seem to have answered Arra's question, do your superiors know about it?"
"...my, my own."

　At Elena's repeated questioning, Tarania's mouth sounded as if she had been stifled to death.
　It's not like I didn't think of passing the buck on to my boss for a moment.
　But then you'll have a grudge against your boss, who's close to you.
　If that were the case, it would definitely be fatal to me in the future... in some cases, it would be a life‐threatening event.
　If you think about the future, you'd better cover yourself with mud.

"So Tarania tried to interfere with our actions of her own accord?"
"Yes,"

　If you try to mislead yourself any further, you'll be in a bad place.
　If so, this place is quiet enough to respond to Elena's words to make a good impression. That's why I thought so, but that's why I behaved.

"Why, then, did you try to do such a thing?"
"That's the act of robbing the robbers of their treasure."
"... well, I thought you might be connected to a thief."
"That's not the case!"

　Talania denies Elena's words immediately.
　You admit that you tried to steal the thief's treasure, but you can't admit that you were connected to the thief.
　In the former case, even if they were to be punished, they could have been put to a quiet job, but in the latter case, they could have been fired if they went public.
　It's not a sack in the sense that they're going to quit their jobs, it's a physical sack... that is, too.
　An execution for being linked to a bandit would have no honor or honor.
　On the contrary, even the family can be blamed in some cases.
　That's why we can't be known for being connected to thieves.

"Oh? ...this is what he says, but is that true?"

　Hearing Tarania's words, Elena turns to the bandits in captivity by the adventurers and asks.
　Tarania looks desperately at these thieves.
　Don't talk about yourself. with that intention
　In the first place, however, the bandits and Tarania were merely connected by money exchange.
　Tarania lobbied the guild not to subdue the bandits for various reasons, and if they found a suitable prey, they would inform the bandits.
　If you get information from thieves about Tarania's presence, you aim for it preferentially. Like handing over some of the proceeds to Tarania.
　We don't have a relationship of trust, we have a dry relationship to use each other, so few people understand it even if Tarania gives us desperate glances.
　And those who do not understand judge themselves to be cut off by Tarania, and express their dissatisfaction.

"Don't be silly! You've been receiving so much money from us, and you're going to cut it first!"
"Yes, if you're going to desert us, you're with us, too! Hey, you boys! Tarania would join hands with us and let us attack you who were in our way!"
"I once killed a man just because he was in the way of the woman I was aiming for!"
"I was asked to kill the man who was hostile to Tarania said.

　A number of other bandits will shout out what Tarania has asked him to do.
　No matter how much Tarania looked at him, it was only natural that he could not understand the meaning of it, since he had no trust or trust in the first place, which was connected only by money.

"Certainly, my dear fellow!"

　Tarania, accompanied by the bandits, screams at the words of the bandits in an attempt to deceive them.

"Don't get me involved because I've committed a crime! Don't be silly!"

　Talania screamed with a red face, but her words and deeds proved the truth of the robbers' words.
　It was not the Ray's... but the Elena's... but the guards that Tarania had led.
　Some guards, some of whom should be called Tarania's private soldiers, are ordinary guards.In other words, if what the robbers are saying is true, they are in a position to capture Tarania.
　But if you know how much power Tarania has in Subursta, you can't move around here.
　If we could catch Tarania here, what if we were acquitted of some mistake?
　Anyone who knows Tarania's character will undoubtedly be concerned about his own safety... and his family's safety.
　In fact, quite a few have gone against Tarania.
　It goes without saying how many, including those who have not been made public. But...

"Now, if you investigate with Gilm whether what the robbers are saying is true or not, you will find out immediately. Of course, you were Tarania, and now that your name came out of the bandits, I will arrest you."
"What!? Wait a minute, Elena! I work for Subursta. No matter how much Mr. Elena, I shall be."

　You can't act as if you'reasonably.
　Tarania tries to scream, but the moment she sees Elena's eyes, she stops moving.
　I wasn't fascinated by her tremendous beauty...
　However, despite her beauty, she didn't see any emotion in her eyes.
　That would still have convinced Tarania if she had floated anger and irritation.
　But now Elena's eyes are as if she were looking at a stone by the roadside.
　The moment Elena looks at herself, Tarania is completely under pressure and unable to say anything more.
　Glancing at the silent Tarania, Elena looks at the guards behind her and opens her mouth.

"You may go back to Subursta and report the matter to your boss or deputy governor. Then you'll find out how it works. However, as if he had told his father that he would not lie or misrepresent his movements."

　All the guards could do to Elena's words was give her consent.
　for I understood that if I were to be thought of as being a member of Tarania's company, I would be sure.
　At the same time, no one to be called Tarania's private army among the guards acted helplessly under the current circumstances.
　However, even if there were any means, it would probably not have been possible to antagonize the enemy, General Hime.
　He is a private soldier of Tarania, but... he is not connected by acts of trust, duty, let alone loyalty, but purely money.
　In that sense, neither private soldiers nor bandits would be much different in terms of their connection to Tarania.
　Of course private soldiers were given preferential treatment over thieves, but that's right here... and nothing we can do later.

"Well, that's the end of the matter. Who has any objection?"
"I!"
"I haven't heard of you," Shut your mouth."

　Tarania tried to protest against Elena, but it was immediately cut off by Elena.
　Then there was no one to say anything more... the trouble was settled without incident.
　It was certain, however, that Tarania's boss, and the nobles who sent him, would be pursued later.
