I am so sorry."

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

Commander Tableau stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Druid and me.

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

'That's all right.

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

But quite rude. I'm really sorry."

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

The matter of the red magic stone was to be handled well by Commander Tableau.

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

And it was agreed that the newly revived magic stone would be given to us by Mr. Rose.

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

When I was drinking the newly made tea, Commander Toubro stood up, bowed deeply, and apologized to me.

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

He stood up, bowed deeply, and apologized. I have already received your apology. Thank you."

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

He finally sat down in his chair, looking a little surprised at my words.

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

Can I ask you something?"

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

I know I'm rehashing the story, but I have to be sure.

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

Yes, sir?"

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

Why, have you been suspicious of me since we met today?"

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

When I first greeted him, he was normal.

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

Yet today, from the moment I met him, he was already suspicious.

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

That means that over the course of a few days we did something that made them suspicious of us.

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

So what is it then?

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

I want to know so that it doesn't happen again.

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

There are secret rumors that Guilmouth, a member of the Commercial Guild, is involved in criminal activity. As yet only I and a few others know about it."

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

Mr. Rose is surprised that he did not know.

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

I'm sorry, can I talk to you about it?　We just got to know each other."

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

I'm worried that you would speak so casually about such an important matter.

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

Ivy, are you talking about yourself?"

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

Mr. Rose was taken aback for some reason.

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

What?"

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

Oh, are you talking about Sora?

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

No, what Commander Tableau said is more important, right?

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

Just by the question you just asked, I can tell that Ivy and her colleagues are worthy of your trust. Besides, if the person who pops up with such a high-level magic stone is a bad person, we are in a bind. We could do so many things with this one magic stone, but we don't."

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

I don't think they would have ponied up.

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

The offer is a good way for us to get our money's worth.

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

But still, what can we do with one magic stone? ...... I can't think of anything, though.

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

'Back to the story, our guys overheard him talking to his buddies. 'There is a traitor who has turned ore into gold without our permission. Find him.

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

Betrayal, as is common in criminal organizations.

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

I mean, why are you involved in a criminal organization again?

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

I was careful.

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

So I looked into the commercial guilds and found someone who had sold high-value ore anonymously, so I went in to investigate. That's when the druids came to light.

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

The ore made you suspicious.

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 talking with the druid over a cup of tea, Commander Tableau looks at me with a mysterious expression.

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

'Eh, is that all?'

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

What do you mean by that?"

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

I tilt my head back and forth with the druid, not understanding what he means.

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

'We were checking without your permission, remember?

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

'That's what vigilantes do, isn't it?　Besides, it's perfectly normal to investigate without permission."

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

I say, and Mr. Druid nods.

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

'That's true, but ...... haha, I feel like an idiot for checking you guys out.

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

'Ahahaha, what a waste of time. By the way, Tablo, are you sure the ore Guilmouth was talking about was the ore the two of you sold?"

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

At the time, I judged it to be Pria, as I was sure it was.

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

Mr. Pria?

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

Puglia is the guildmaster of the Adventurers' Guild. He's a childhood friend of Tabloo's."

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

Childhood friends, huh?

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

Is it like the relationship between Mr. Druid and Mr. Guilmouth of All Town?

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

Oh, but Mr. Rose seemed to dislike him, didn't he?

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

'Now I think I made a mistake in judgment. I know it's an excuse, but I've been so flustered about the winter measures all week that I haven't been sleeping well, and the information has been so mixed up that I must have missed some necessary information somewhere."

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

Lack of sleep certainly makes you make some strange decisions, doesn't it?

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

I've had to keep walking because I couldn't find a place to sleep when it kept raining, but there have been times when I've been in a funny high for two days straight and my judgment was impaired.

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

I was so close to storming into a place of residence without checking for ...... demons!

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

Speaking of which, what kind of ore did Ivy and the others sell?"

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

That's the ore you sold, right?

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

I look at Mr. Druid with the thought that I am not allowed to talk to the two of them.

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

He nodded at me with his usual kind smile.

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

'It's the ore Ciel found in the cave where the forest guardians live.

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

Huh?

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

We both froze.

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

Are you okay?"

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

...... was it the druids who sold you that ore?"

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

Apparently, they knew about the ore.

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

Well, it's the ore in the guardian god's abode.

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

It must be something pretty special to this village.

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

There have been rumors of a deal for years, but I never would have guessed that Ivy and the others were the source. I'm surprised."

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

Mr. Rose drank his tea, which was probably already cold, and exhaled heavily.

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

It seemed to be a very special ore after all.

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

Maybe I shouldn't have sold it?

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

It's too late now, though.

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

Who did you get to handle this?"

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

Rose-san asks me while making a fresh pot of tea.

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

Both Mr. Rose and Commander Toubro have been drinking a lot of tea since a while ago.

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

This is Mr. Drew, who coordinates the appraisers.

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

Commander Tableau looks surprised at the druid's words.

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

What, was he perhaps a problematic person?

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

He's a collaborator here."

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

Is Mr. Drew a collaborator?

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

I guess he was connected to Mr. Toubro Commander in a mysterious way.

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

If that's the case, didn't Ivy and the others come up when you were looking for the person who sold you the ore?

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

I didn't get it. Oh, by the way, I came to the Oval Office confidentially to tell you that I had something important to discuss, and I was about to start talking when suddenly Gilmas's guy came in and asked me to leave before I could talk to him.

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

Wasn't that what happened to Ivy and the others?"

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

I think I might be right." After that, apparently his people were hanging around me and I didn't get a chance to talk to them, and I was busy ......."

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

It sounds like a lot of problems have come together, and as a result, I'm getting suspicious.

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

I guess that means it was the wrong time.

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

But what was the reason for suspecting Mr. Druid and Ivy for just that?

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

Ivy's name is a little...

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

Me!

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

Both Pria and I remembered reading the name 'Ivy' in some crime reference material."

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

Oh, could that be?

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

'It's an unusual name, and there's a bit of a lot going on with it, so I remembered it. But Ivy is still very young, so I had my doubts. So I was going to meet with them today to see how they were doing. But before I came here, I got irritated when I heard that Gilmas's guy had blackmailed an adventurer into providing him with a red magic stone. I'm sorry, I bumped into him when it had nothing to do with that."

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

I grew up a little, but they said I was too young.

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

I'm wondering how old they see me, too.

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

I see. So you questioned my judgment, too.

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

I'm sure there were a lot of people out there not too long ago who helped a bunch of criminals that no one, including me, could have recognized at the time." So I knew there were people who could have fooled my mom, and I wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible if they were the ones who had the ...... problem. My dad told me that my mom was unusually fond of them."

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

You were worried about Mr. Rose."

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

At the druid's words, Commander Tableau's face turns bright red.

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

When I looked at Ms. Rose, her face was also slightly red.

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

Seeing the two of them, I felt a little embarrassed, so I drank some tea and took a break.

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

I said, "Goho, but don't put Ivy and a criminal organization together on your own."

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

A criminal organization?　Oh, no. Not that one, but the list of merit.

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

A list of people of merit?"

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

Mr. Rose looks surprised.

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

Yes," she said, "Tabloo, I knew I was wrong!　The name Ivy is on the list of people of merit! For those of you who have served: ......"

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

Someone suddenly opened the door to the store and jumped in.

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

Considering what they shouted, could it be Mr. Pria?
