You've been tricked, and not only you but your friends have been hurt.
The truth is you want to kill them.
But there's a good chance that they have more crimes left to commit.
I can't let them die until I find out what they are.
'No, it's okay. ...... Besides, I'm kind of tired.'
'Yeah. You can report to the Guild whenever you want. We've got you in custody, you know. Take it easy on ...... today. Aleria, take care of Aina.
'Yes, sir!
I've got one last job left to do, get these guys to jail. I have one last job left to do, which is to take these guys to the jail. ...... I'll be on my way soon to fulfill the promise I made to the officials yesterday.
I took out five handcuffs from the item slot to use on the unconscious bandits.
He secured them one by one, rattling them around.
I got confirmation that it was true that these cuffs would lower their status.
'But, are we going to carry all of these guys ......? You can call for backup, but ...... no, wait a minute.
I try throwing one of the bandits into the item slot.
'Eh, what? A person just disappeared from ......!
'No, it's okay. As you can see, I can take it out at any time.'
'It's like a potion!
Since they don't seem to die even if I take them in and out, I'll put five of them in the item slot and take them with me.
