When I returned to the inn, I found the owner with a distressed look on his face.

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

When I greeted him, he laughed and pointed upward.

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

I tilted my head at it, and my dad nodded next to me.

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

'Ivy, let's go. Looks like Zinal and the others are coming back."

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

The shopkeeper from earlier had told me about Mr. Zinal, hadn't he?

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

Was he in the room, pointing up with his finger?

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

The shopkeeper, you had a subtle look on your face."

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

It was confirmed by the time I came to the inn that the rumor that Mr. Gilmouth had been killed had been properly circulated.

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

The whole village was buzzing with that rumor.

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

The blurriness of the Adventurers' Guild was a little worrisome, but as far as rumors were concerned, we could say that we had succeeded.

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

And yet, the shopkeeper had a thoughtful expression on his face.

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

Was there something else going on?

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

I returned to my room, put down my magic bag, and headed straight for Mr. Ginal and the others' room.

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

Knock-knock.

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

Zinal, it's the druid."

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

The door to the room opens at the same time as the father's words.

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

The one who appeared was Mr. Fiesche.

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

I was relieved to see his smiling face and knew that the plan had worked.

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

Once inside the room, Zinal used a magic item to keep the sound inside the room from leaking out.

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

The plan seems to have worked," he said. The whole village is talking about Gilmas, the man who was killed.

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

At his father's words, Mr. Jinal gave a nasty smile.

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

He must have been satisfied with the results.

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

By the way, what's the truth about the blur?"

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

Mr. Fyshe let out a sigh at his father's words.

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

Oh, that. That's because Zinal is ......"

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

The blah blah blah was caused by Mr. Zinal?

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

I was trying to find out what was going on because I wanted to check something other than the Oval Office, but there were people there," he said. I tried to confuse them with smoke, but I failed and the fire started. Ha-ha-ha."

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

He said the fire started. ......

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

The look on Mr. Zinal's face makes me think of the word intentional.

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

Stinky."

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

Mr. Zinal cowered at his father's words.

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

Mr. Fiesche let out a big sigh when he saw Mr. Zinal's expression.

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

Is it safe to say that this was an intentional fire?

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

Is something wrong?"

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

Dad, who had been watching Mr. Zinal and the others, asked them, and Mr. Zinal smiled at him.

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

'Those idiots, they used those young adventurers as disposable.

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

I thought he was laughing, but Mr. Jinal's eyes were extremely cold.

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

I thought he was laughing, but the look in Mr. Jinal's eyes was extremely cold.

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

He must be confused right now because he doesn't know why. The adventurers won't cooperate with us because of the rumors. No~, I haven't done a good job in a long time."

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

At Mr. Zinal's words, his father looks at Mr. Feiche.

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

I also want an explanation, so I look at Mr. Fyshe.

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

I found dozens of contracts in the safe in his office. The contracts were in favor of the Adventurers' Guild, and they were with young adventurers. It seems that because of the contracts, they were being given impossible jobs without the right of refusal. The number of contractors was 34. Some of the contracts had expired, so the number was seven. There is a possibility that those seven may already be dead, so I'm having them checked out."

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

Checking?

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

Is that why the innkeeper looked so thoughtful?

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

I see. Did you talk to the adventurers you had contracted with?"

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

Mr. Zinal nodded at his father's words.

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

'After protecting them, the guys here talked to them. They said that young adventurers don't know much yet, so they were taken advantage of and made to sign contracts with them. After signing a contract, they were forced to do unreasonable work for a low fee, and some of the work was even criminal in nature.

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

The father, who heard the story, let out a sigh.

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

He sighed. "That's pretty bad, isn't it? What were the terms of the contract?"

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

He said, "The contract says that I can't tell a third party about the contract, that I can't veto work requests, and that if I violate the contract, I'll fall into criminal slavery. Well, I'm surprised it went this far.

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

The contract was that bad.

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

But would you sign a contract after reading that?

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

When you sign a contract, you sign a different contract.

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

Mr. Fiescher handed a piece of paper to his father.

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

'Is this ...... contract crafted? I don't think the young adventurers will know how to tell the difference between the contracts."

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

Mr. Zinal and the others nodded at his father's words.

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

They are lousy people."

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

Listening to them, I am disgusted.

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

I feel like I can understand why Mr. Zinal made a mistake and started the fire.

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

At my words, Dad patted my head.

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

Konkom.

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

Ginal, Fiescher. The investigation is over. Come downstairs."

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

At the shopkeeper's words, Zinal and the others stopped operating their magic items.

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

I'll be right down. I'll be right down.

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

When the presence disappears from in front of the door, Mr. Zinal looks at us.

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

He looks at us. "Everything okay at the dump?"

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

Mr. Zinal looks at us and says, "Yeah, no problem, but Serpent is here."

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

Mr. Zinal reacts to his father's words.

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

Mr. Jinal reacts to his father's words, "Why?　Don't tell me you went where the Serpents wanted to take you?"

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

Dad chuckles at the disapproving look on Mr. Zinal's face.

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

I didn't go there, but they wanted to take me there. But they seemed to want to take them there, so I promised to bring them back tomorrow.

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

'It's all right. I'll leave the affairs of this village to the shopkeepers."

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

Mr. Fyshe looks a little uneasy at Zinal's words.

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

I nodded my head at that.

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

Is everything going to be all right?

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

I'm fine. I noticed it a little late, but I've had no problems since I found out about it. It would be disrespectful to the guys here to overstep our bounds in this situation. We have enough manpower.

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

What do you mean by disrespectful?

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

If Mr. Zinal and the others overplay their hands, will it lower the reputation of the people here?

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

Well, yes."

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

Mr. Fiesche seemed convinced.

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

Mr. Jinal notices my wondering and chuckles.

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

'The role of this inn and the shopkeepers is to protect the victims and minimize damage when problems arise.

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

That's important.

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

'We were able to protect the victims because they brought their contracts and we took their testimonies. We've finished spreading the word, and we've led the adventurers away, so there shouldn't be any more damage. If we still try our hand in this situation, they may think there is a problem with our people here. For example, there is a traitor in our midst. So we have to know when to call it quits."

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

A good time to back out, huh?

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

If it were me, I'd be too worried and overreact.

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

It sounds like a lot of work.

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

Mr. Zinal laughed happily at my words and looked at his father.

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

Tomorrow will be no problem.

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

I understand. I'll come with you tomorrow.

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

I'm glad to hear that," he said. Then we should listen to what the owner has to say, and if there is anything we have to do, we should finish it quickly.

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

Jinaru-san laughed happily at his father's words.

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

Mr. Fiesche also smiled slightly.

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

We're going back to our room. Tomorrow, you can tell me how today went.

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

I'll let you know how it went.

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

After seeing Mr. Zinal and the others go downstairs, we returned to our room.

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

There were a lot more bad guys here than I thought there would be.

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

I guess so. I was a little surprised.

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

He pulls Sola and the others out of their bags and prepares a cup of tea.

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

I took out some sweet snacks from the magic bag and put them on the table.

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

I'm still a little sick to my stomach, so I need something sweet to calm me down.

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

It is the teaching of both guilds that young adventurers are to be nurtured by everyone.

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

Nurture them all?

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

I pour a cup of tea and serve it to the father sitting in the chair in front of me.

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

He fills his own cup as well and takes a sip.

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

The warmth of the tea made me feel a little calmer.

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

He said, "You are a necessary part of our future. We will pass on more knowledge and skills to keep as many of them alive as possible. That's the role of a high-ranking adventurer and a medium-ranking adventurer."

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

When the young adventurers are gone, there will be no one left to protect this village and town.

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

So what the Adventurers' Guild in this village is doing is particularly vicious. Perhaps everyone involved will be charged with a crime."

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

Everyone involved?"

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

Listening to him, I thought that the higher-ups in the Adventurers' Guild would do anything to hide it.

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

Threats, well, you name it.

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

The victims of this crime are also related to the Adventurers' Guild if they work for the guild.

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

Will they be charged with a crime, too?

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

I say all of them, but not if there are circumstances, so it's all right.

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

I think my father understood how I felt.

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

The Adventurers' Guild and the Commercial Guild have magic items so that they can be contacted immediately if something goes wrong. First of all, we will be able to find out if the magic item is available for anyone to use. If not, we can't call for help.

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

We'll have other things to do, such as interviews, so we'll be fine."

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

I nodded to my father's words.

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

Then the victim is well protected.
