Good night."

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

I called out to the gatekeeper, who was different from the morning, and as I entered the town, I immediately noticed something unusual.

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

There were few people on the town's main street, which had been bustling with activity during the day.

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

Looking around, I could see store owners gathered around, whispering amongst themselves.

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

Feeling a little uneasy, I headed for the butcher shop I had heard about.

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

Excuse me.

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

Hmm?　Boy, is something wrong?"

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

The owner of the butcher store looked a little tired, but he smiled at me.

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

'I'd like to sell you some wild hare and field mouse meat, is that alright?

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

Oh, it's all right. Thank you.

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

I enter the store and place the meat wrapped in banana leaves on the table in front of the owner.

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

For sale are six wild rabbits and four field mice.

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

Two of the hares are left over for dinner.

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

Whoa!　You did a pretty neat job of dismantling. This way there's no waste, which is a big help."

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

I'm confident in my demolition skills.

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

So I can't help but smile at the happy words.

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

Thank you very much.

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

I see." How about 100 Dal for each field mouse and 100 Dal for each field rabbit?"

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

A hundred dollars for both a hare and a field mouse?

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

Usually the hare would be cheaper.

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

I feel a little better off.

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

Oh, did they add color?

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

Yes, I'll take that."

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

All in all, it's 1,000 Dal. Copper plate, okay?"

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

Yes."

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

He receives 10 copper plates and puts them in a small magic bag.

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

It's been a long time since I've had the income from hunting.

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

It was a little ...... different from normal hunting.

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

Well, there should be no doubt that it was a hunt too.

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

Yes."

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

It was a piece of dried meat in a small bag that was quickly offered to me.

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

I accepted it, but what was it?

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

"Thanks for coming to sell me meat."

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

Was it different when he bought the wild rabbit for Dh100?

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

Hmm?"

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

Oh, thank you very much. I thought for sure that was the color, since you paid the same price for a field hare as for a field mouse."

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

'Ahahaha, I didn't realize that. But around here, a field hare costs the same as a field mouse."

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

Is that so?"

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

I told you before that hares are popular among adventurers who stay in caves. Especially for lower-level adventurers, it is a cheap and hearty meal. I'd like to tell them to go hunt hares, but if they do well, the income from caves is several times that of hunting.

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

I guess that means they don't have time to hunt because they are stuck in caves to get several times the income.

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

'They're always in short supply, so they're buying wild rabbits along with field mice.

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

I see.

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

While I was chatting leisurely with the owner, the door to the store was opened with a squeak.

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

Two men in a hurry enter through the door.

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

They were much younger than the owner.

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

I guess the story is true after all.

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

Count Fartoria has just been taken away by the knights brought by the Lord of Foronda.

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

I can't believe Count Fartoria betrayed us!"

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

As soon as they enter the restaurant, they start talking excitedly.

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

From their appearance, you can tell that they are quite irritated.

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

The two of them are in the doorway of the store and cannot leave the store.

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

The only way to get some distance seems to be to move to the back of the store.

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

They move quietly and quietly so as not to be noticed.

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

Calm down!　The Knights will not move without proof. They moved because they have evidence!　You know that."

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

The owner admonishes the two fussy customers.

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

The two who had been talking look somewhat chagrined when they see the shopkeeper.

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

But ......"

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

But what?"　Are the vigilantes in this town and the higher adventurers led by Guilmouth all incompetent?"

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

It's ......

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

No," he said. You should be able to tell that from the work we've done so far. And look at it this way. You've kidnapped so many people, how come you've never been able to find out who they are?　If Count Fartoria was involved, that would explain it."

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

But I was saved by Count Fartoria!

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

But I've made a number of people unhappy behind their backs. I hear the Commander has found solid evidence of this."

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

'.................. betrayed you, us. I even did some work for the Count."

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

Go home today. Don't run away to drink. If you drink too much, you'll get into trouble.

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

At the owner's words, the two looked at each other and exhaled heavily.

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

'Sure, we probably shouldn't drink alcohol.

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

'...... ah.'

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

'Hey, really, don't drink. I'll come over to your house later to check on you. I'll beat the shit out of you if you've been drinking."

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

Ha ha ha, I get it. Sorry to trouble you.

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

They both look depressed but a little refreshed.

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

Perhaps they were able to put their feelings into perspective and have a little bit of space to work through them.

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

They seemed to have finally noticed my presence, and after a small apology, they left the restaurant.

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

I apologize, kid. Are you all right?"

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

Yes."

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

Do you know who Count Fartoria is?"

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

Yes, sir. I spoke to him once.

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

I see. He's very popular in this town, which is why the townsfolk are a little confused."

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

"...... I see."

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

Sadness comes over the shopkeeper's face.

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

I'm sure he, too, believed in Count Fartoria.

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

'I told the two of them that way, but I'm still not convinced myself. No, I believe in the vigilante. But I have my doubts about whether it's true."

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

...... would be fine with that."

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

Hmm?

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

I'm not saying that you can't doubt until you're convinced. Doubt is not a bad thing."

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

That's right.

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

If you're not convinced, be skeptical.

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

You can investigate the evidence gathered by the vigilante to see if it is true.

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

Until you are convinced.

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

I see.

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

Yes, it is. You just have to question and investigate until you are satisfied."

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

I see. I see."

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

The owner looked a little surprised, then laughed funny.

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

Did I say something funny?

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

'Ha ha ha, the boy is funny. Oh, yeah, until you convince me otherwise. But I'm sorry, you two went off the rails."

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

No.

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

I'll be looking forward to hunting with you again. I'd be happy to sell you something, since it would cost the guild a lot of extra money."

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

I understand. I will do my best to bring you good meat.

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

"Oh, that's great."

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

The owner smiles, somewhat refreshed.

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

He seems to feel a little better after my conversation.

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

I'm glad I went to .......

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

I'll be looking forward to seeing you again."

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

After bowing lightly, I leave the store.

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

As I head to the square, I look at the town as a whole.

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

Sadness and confusion are on people's faces.

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

Some of them seem to be crying after drinking at the store.

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

Ah!"

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

A crowd seems to be gathering at a store on the way to the plaza.

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

When I looked, I saw that men had gathered and were arguing loudly.

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

I stop and look to see what is going on so as not to get involved.

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

If any problems arise, I plan to evacuate as Seiseluk and the others suggested.

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

After watching them for a while, I see the vigilante people approaching them at a quick pace.

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

I hope that calms them down.

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

Ivy, are you okay?"

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

A voice suddenly calls out to me from behind, and my body shudders.

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

I turned around in a hurry and saw Rickbert with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

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

He said, "My bad. I didn't mean to startle you. ......"

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

Oh, no. No, I'm fine. What are you doing here?"

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

I'm on my way back from running an errand for Gilmas.

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

Mr. Guilmouth sent you?

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

Whoa, looks like you've calmed down."

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

Following Rickbert's gaze, I look at the place where the commotion was.

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

Apparently, the arrival of the vigilante had calmed things down.

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

There seems to be a small problem, but it looks like everything is fine.

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

I am relieved by Rickbert's words.

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

The Knights have already taken him.

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

I guess you mean Count Fartoria.

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

Thanks for your help."

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

It's been hard work, but now we can settle down. At last the end is in sight."

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

Rickbert's tired but somewhat relieved voice.

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

I guess everyone who has been involved in this issue feels that way.

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

Okay, back to work."

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

Yes, sir. Good luck."

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

Oh. Speaking of which, how was your hunt?"

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

I'll be serving grilled hare for supper tonight.

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

Whoa ......, I guess Nougat's going to hold it in anyway."

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

I laugh at Mr. Rickbert, who shows a slightly dismayed expression on his face.

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

Apparently, Mr. Rickveldt is prone to falling victim to Mr. Nooga.

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

I've got two of them ready to go.

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

One is for Mr. Nooga and Mr. Sifal.

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

The other is for the others.

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

It's not much, but it's not just wild rabbits, so it should be fine.

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

Ivy, you are very understanding of Nooga and the others. Well, I'm looking forward to it!

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

I responded with a smile and headed off to separate places, leaving Rickbert in charge.

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

I am sure we will all be together for dinner today.

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

I'll do my best to make it a bit more luxurious.
