I received a report from Gugs, who is on his way to the frontier region to visit a summer festival to recuperate.
　He told me that he arrived there yesterday and found the beer there very tasty.

　I thought it was some kind of ale.
　As I look at the contents of the letter, it's not quite the same.

　It says that if possible, you should take it home with you.
　Since it's a good time, I asked Yanjin to reply with something to the effect of please go and serve the family.

　
What's this family service thing you're talking about, my lord?
　I'm sure I'm going to be scolded, but I thought, well, there's the matter of the goo-pop

◇ ◇.

　The bandits were successfully captured thanks to a Batcombe unit led by Biblina.
　That interrogation was quite difficult.

　Anyway, they were all very tight-lipped and wouldn't spit anything out under some interrogation.
　Since there is a clause for handling captive criminals set by the royal capital, we can't treat them too inhumanely, and these bandits seem to be familiar with that part.
If I go any further, won't I be in trouble with the clause?
　He ended up smiling thinly.

　Even the deputy captain of the guards was puzzled by the situation.
　She came to me for advice, but all I could do was fold my arms and ponder, wondering what to do.

　At that time
　A messenger from Gelter in Batcombe arrived.

　I heard the story.
Will you hand the bandits over to us?
　He said.

　Anything.
　They want to use it as a bargaining chip in order to go directly to Urinacomb, which is practically controlled by the dark winsome voice that is behind these guys.

　As you might expect, when I told him that the questioning wasn't finished yet
　Apparently, the messenger had received instructions on this subject as well.
I'd like to take over the interrogation, too.
　He offered to help me.

　I decided to transfer the guards who had been involved in the interrogation of these men to Batcombe with me, since it would be a shame to leave everything to them.

　Just.
　As long as Gelter in Batcombe says he's going to use these guys as a bargaining chip to discuss it.
　It seemed likely that Urinacombe knew we were capturing the bandits, and in some cases, they would come after us in transit.

　So we thought of a plan.
　We used a small mage ship used exclusively for town hall purposes and left Liberty at midnight on the day the messenger arrived.
　We sailed very low and arrived at the lord's house in Batcombe.

　On the move.
　An unidentified flying object was captured by the arcane radar on several occasions.
　Perhaps, but perhaps the Urinacombe's ... the dark charmers were on alert.

　Arriving at Batcombe.
　As I was unloading the prisoners, Gelter greeted me personally.

　I told Gelter.
Thanks to Vibrina, we were able to successfully capture the bandits like this.
　I thanked him and we shook hands firmly.
Instead of thanking me, I want you to plant a breeding stock... because I want to see my grandson.
　Gelter laughs as he says that, and then proceeds to bang me on the shoulder with a huff and a puff.

　Such is the case with Gelter, though.
　They finish shaking my hand and turn their attention to their captives.
What's going on, man ... it's somebody I know.
　His face was twisted blatantly.

　I asked Gelter if it was mixed in with the bandit group he had captured before.
Some of them are from the army that took part in the coup during the Chimera pose.
　And that was that.


　Speaking of the chimera-like coup de grâce
　In the past, when Batcombe was still divided between the military forcers and the Lords, including Geltor, who were vying for control of Batcombe, the forcers brought out the chimera pseudopod and tried to make Geltor look like an accident and make him look like a dead man.

　At the time, the chimera dodge was incomplete.
　The military faction's coup attempt failed.

　At that time, Gelter reversed this and set out to purge the military faction and succeeded in expelling the enforcers of the military.


　According to Gelter.
　The people from the military faction that we expelled in that case are mixed in with the bandits we captured this time.

'Leave the interrogation of these guys to me for a moment.
　Walter tells me again.

　At first I was only going to help.
　Even though it was the former, if there were people from Batcombe in the mix, it would still be Gelter and his position as a lord... I thought that, and I decided to accept Gelter's offer.

　Then
　After all the questioning we've been doing with Liberty's people, there's been no progress in this investigation.

　In less than half a day, Gelter was
We got our word. I got the location of the letter from Urinakombe.
　I told me, as I was being allowed to take a break in the guest house in Batcombe.

　Honestly.
　I can't help but be surprised.

　Walter says and taps me on the shoulder, but

　...I honestly can't even imagine how he did what he did.

　When I told him that, Gelter said
Well if you're a law-abiding citizen, you're in no trouble.
　Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

　For now.
　I'm now well aware that I'm not even close to Gelter's footing when it comes to this part of the world.

　After this
　The meeting with Gelter became a steady stream of meetings.

　To hold negotiations with Urinacombe in the near future.
　During those negotiations, to denounce Urinakombe in regard to the banditry that he is carrying out behind the scenes.
　That when Gelter and the rest of the Batcombe forces go to Urinacombomb, they plan to call in an inspector from the Central Frontier Bureau in the capital to accompany them.
　He also asked me to accompany him as a representative of Liberty.

　For now.
　I had my own reservations about coming along with him, so I said yes at once.

　Gert.
'There are quite a few cities like this we're all in trouble.
　and
　Implicitly, he's also been complaining about the Central Frontier Agency.
　Having said that.
And Gelter himself has even called in an inspector to coincide with this trip to Urinacomb.
　You can't avoid them when you're solving these frontier cases.

　I am
　As for the date of the deadline, I was told that I would be contacted after coordinating with Urinakombe for a new
　So the meeting was over for the day.

◇ ◇.

　When I returned from Butchcombe.
　Once again, I called for the deputy commander of the guard.

　For the capture of the bandits was complete.
　This time, we have to search for the ancient monster tribe, so we're meeting with them.

　Last time.
　We were going to search for the bandits and search for the ancient monster race at the same time.
　Because the Vibrina Squadron has taken care of the Thieves' case ahead of schedule.
　So the search for this ancient monster race was the only thing left in limbo.

　To the Vice Captain.
　I'm going to ask you to re-adjust the number of people we can get out.
　I asked Sarah, the salamander, to coordinate a date for me to accompany her.

　Because although I know that they are supposed to be ancient monsters.
　Is this the kind of person who can become a humanoid?
　You're still in Kaiju form.

　It's unclear from that point on.
　We have to assume that our opponent is in the form of a monster, and we have to move in a position to capture it.
　
　For that reason.
　So we thought it was essential for Sarah to be able to change into her salamander form and to be able to deal with larger opponents.

　From Sarah's side.
If it suits you, I'm happy to accommodate you.
　I sighed loudly as I waited for a reply from the guards, as the reply arrived.

　I thought I had finally captured the bandits.
　And now I had a showdown with the master.
　And the Ancient Kaiju Tribe's case is just the beginning.

　When you think about it.
　Perfect timing.
My dear boy, I think you should take a break.
　And Wunya brought me a cup of tea.

　Thanks to her, I was able to clear my head, which had been in a state of stagnation, and
　I'm not going to be able to do that.
Let's do what we can do. Let's just do what we can do.
　He laughed at me.
　That made me feel a lot better about myself.
Well, you're always welcome to talk to me about concubines.
　And, I would add, Unja....

　Really, if it weren't for this...
