He came to this conclusion by observing the entries in the ledger book.
If they are mere smugglers, they intend to leave it to the Kingdom of Cerroa.

Then, using the manacam built into Tama, he gave new instructions.

Tama found a window about 10 cm open and went out through it without making a sound.
He landed gently on the grass.
There were no more rats, so he crossed the yard, jumped over the fence, and got out of the house.

He went straight to the other target that the old man had instructed him to go to.
It was a medium-sized merchant's house. It is located a little bit in the center of the town from the perimeter.

(Do you go along the roof instead of the road?).
Tama decides to go along the roof instead of the road, which has many obstacles, and runs up to the top of the house.
The rooftops were a good vantage point from which he could see the houses of the merchants he was aiming for in the distance.

Sometimes he jumped up to a higher roof, and sometimes he jumped down to a lower roof to reach his goal.
His appearance is just like a black gale.
Tama arrives at his destination without being seen.

(Well, we'll have to enter through the chimney here ......, though it will be dirty with soot.)
This thought was not because he did not want to get dirty, but because if he got dirty, there was a high possibility that his infiltration would be detected by footprints and so on.
In the end, Tama put up wards to keep dirt away, and then used the force field generator to sneak in through the chimney.

(But is this house ...... a dummy if it doesn't use fire in this season?)
Yes, the most important reason why Tama thought of sneaking in through the chimney was because he sensed that there was no fire in the house.
It is winter, the lowest temperature is below freezing. It is impossible not to feel the fire in the chimney coming out of the fireplace.

Four of them were standing still in the room.
Tama judges that they are in a state of waiting, not stopped, since they are responding to the magic.

Tama contacts the old man with the built-in manacam and asks him to do a quick search.
The result will come out in 5 minutes.

From what the old man has seen, it seems that they are smuggling a lot of things to the Kingdom of Franz. The contents are not good enough.

The Kingdom of Franz is probably a lackey at best, the old man thinks.
The ringleaders on the side of the Kingdom of Celuloa, however, are probably only minor players compared to the Unifilers and the League of Magicians of the past.

Tama, however, thinks that in order to confirm the documents, he has to do something about the automata that are waiting for him.

Good idea? Tama, who came up with a good idea, went through the only open door and moved to the next room, which was an empty room.

It was an empty room, and therefore, it seemed to be unguarded.
(Is there anyone in the next room?).
The built-in "peepers" were used to check the next room. When Tama saw that no one was there, he used his engineering magic to make a hole in the wall and moved on. Of course, the hole is closed with engineering magic once again.

(There must be a hidden safe behind this wall.)
Yes, a good idea was to use the engineering magic from the next room to take out the documents in the hidden safe
After making a hole in the wall, I saw the wall of the safe, so I made a hole there as well with engineering magic.

(Is this the document the old man was talking about?)
Tama deftly turns the pages, though with the hand of a cat.
The old man read the contents of the document while he was still on Horai Island.

In about 30 seconds, the contents of the 40 or so pages of documents were confirmed by the old man.

After the verification, the procedure was reversed and the safe and the walls were repaired to their original state.

The old man has checked the documents and found that the lords of this region, including the town of Lonsk, are only meddling with Franz.
In other words, the Kingdom of Celuloa is not making any moves against Franz.
Sometimes some of the local lords have warped ambitions.
Their ambitions are usually for power or money, for promotion or for making money.
And the lords of this town, with the help of a few merchants, have been meddling in the affairs of the Kingdom of Franz.

And there are two main ways to use the money.
One is for his own luxury, and the other is to use the money to buy a position.

The lord who rules and manages the area that includes the town of Lonsk is a baronet named Laine de Matillac.
The owner of this house is a merchant named Seneca Coyot.

But for the time being, the old man decided that the police force of the Kingdom of Celuloa should take care of that for the time being.

For this purpose, he thinks that the data he has just read should be printed out and sent to the appropriate organization.

Therefore, the young king is thinking day and night to do something about it.
As a part of his efforts, he had been working on a public works project to pave the roads in the country with macadam.
The new king was thanked by the merchants for more than doubling the speed of their wagons.
