The tea leaves were to be searched for again by everyone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meera replied that it was no problem, but her face was a little drawn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We were going to go to the next store, but Ms. Luicelia had some business to attend to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We had talked about going to the forest earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is this because things didn't go as planned?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I leave Meera and the others in front of the store and return to the plaza.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, a lot of things are still not right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Moreover, even the five people in the store became suspicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While returning to the plaza, we looked around at the stores selling vegetables.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is no need for vegetables, since they are all piled up in a pile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was probably because neither of us felt like going back to the plaza right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder which one is Kahlua?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

From your earlier actions, it appears that you are helping me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I have no answer as to why that is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Does she suspect something about Meera and the others, too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Kahlua is an adventurer who moved to this town two years ago. Before that, she was an adventurer in two neighboring towns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Lattrua gives me information about Kalua.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, I do not know much about adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do adventurers move around a lot?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sometimes when I want to increase my reward, and other times, well, when I'm escaping from a little trouble."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A struggle?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, let's see, like, gender issues, sibling stuff, ...... you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I kind of know what you mean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They don't seem to feel any different about the move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Finishing looking at the stores, we enter a street with few people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After looking around and making sure everything is okay, I ask Mr. Rattler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Um, the crackdown was unsuccessful, wasn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "Yes, I do. Why?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The reason is that the way Meera and the others were acting didn't fit the image of the organization I had heard about." However, considering that they have adventurers as their friends, we can still infer a preparedness aspect. Given that, I thought there must be some problem with the organization."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You mean the crackdown that caused the problem?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know about that, but the way Meera and his team are acting, it feels like they are trying to get things done in a hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I do get the impression that Meera and his colleagues are in some kind of a hurry. But that crackdown was really nothing. Sure, there was a little paperwork left behind."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Papers?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, but it didn't make any sense at all, apparently. Seiseluk has confirmed this as well."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If not documents, then what about money?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Money?　I believe the story was that there was a safe and there was a little left over. But that it wasn't much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is the place you cracked down on a private residence?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it was a former merchant's house. It's a pretty big building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Could it be a large building?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there any possibility that there is something hidden inside the building?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I don't think so. I've done a thorough search."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. ...... what's going on at that location now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Right now, I'm pretty sure they're keeping a lookout because they haven't solved the problem yet."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How many people are on watch ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, there are fewer people now than there were at first, maybe five or six.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it the vigilante who is on the lookout?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, adventurers used to join us, but they had to deal with Meera and the others. Now it's just the vigilantes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Neighborhood Watch. Um, you said you checked the policing location, who checked it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm? Oh, it's okay. It was only the Neighborhood Watch that checked, and no adventurers participated."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just the vigilante group ...... maybe ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What should I do? I have no proof, just my imagination.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess I'll just talk to them anyway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, are the ...... vigilante people okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Neighborhood Watch?　Are you talking about the guys I checked out by any chance?　No, they're fine. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How did these people get into the neighborhood watch?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The captain, the vice captain, and the rest were recommended by the nobility. ............

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nobility."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, recommended by a nobleman: ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, I hate to say this, but ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know what you mean. Yes, even vigilantes have traitors."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I figured that a well-prepared organization would have reached out to vigilantes as well as adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess Mr. Rattler must have figured it out, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am a little confused.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we think that the vigilante group also has a traitor in its midst, it becomes possible that there is something hidden in the former merchant's house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The organization wants it back, but can't take action because of the vigilante.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If they wait slowly, the watchman will eventually disappear, and then it won't be too late.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But if the hidden evidence is too important to wait, then .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How will the organization act?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You can reduce the manpower you devote to the watch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Meera may be a pawn for the organization.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not only Mr. Meera, but also all the people who are now considered to be part of the organization may be pawns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The fact that Ms. Meera was discovered to be a traitor makes it difficult for the Adventurers' Guild to move, considering the possibility that there are still traitors in the guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They have already withdrawn from the watch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then it will be mainly the vigilante groups that will move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If Meera and the others took action at such a time, they would surely move to catch them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There would be no time to spare to send someone to watch over the place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Cutting the lizard's tail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, what's that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... No, it's nothing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I take one deep breath and tell Mr. Rattler what I'm thinking now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that Mr. Rattler had a similar thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then he makes a face as if he is biting a bitter bug.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

About 30 percent of the vigilantes are introduced by the nobility."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What can I say, that's too many again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I doubt they are all traitors, but it would take too long to find out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If this is another calculated move, the head of this organization is frightening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I'm sure others can come up with at least what I've thought of.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Gilmouth and the captain of the neighborhood watch have more knowledge than I do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, it's possible that I'm overthinking things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What aristocrat would ...... Ivy suspect first and foremost?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Rattler stops and looks down at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would have ......,...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Would it be someone who is deemed not to be associated with crime? Or perhaps a saga."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......Why?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's easy to gather all kinds of information on people who are trusted and respected." And if something goes wrong, they can escape safely because they won't be suspected first."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Well, ...... there are two people that come to mind, one of whom Borolda trusts. The other is someone who would never question the residents of this town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why is it that you never doubt ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is the one who saved the children of a family of adventurers from being attacked by bandits eleven years ago, without regard for his own life."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... the one who saved him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Someone who saved my life, or whatever that word is that I've heard so many times in the past few days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'He's a hero in his town for bravely protecting a child despite being wounded.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What about the bandits who attacked you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They're all dead....... Why?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

".................., there's no such thing as a self-made man ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I shut up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But if it was staged, then they've been preparing for 11 years.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, how long ago was the organization recognized?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it was seven years ago. A woman who was about to be enslaved found out about the organization when she ran away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seven years ago, four years before that, he made himself?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Too soon, I guess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it could be that even though they were recognized 7 years ago, their activities started much earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The plaza came into view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at the tent and see Mr. Seiselk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think, "He's early today," but I can't see Mr. Marleek and Mr. Lowcreek.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if something happened and only Mr. Seyserk came back.
