The next day, the vermin fighting party for the area around the old frontier village, led by Lil Pop, who was ready to leave, gathered in front of the town hall.
　When Erdena and I went in front of them, we greeted them briefly.
　After I reiterated to them that they shouldn't take it too seriously, Biblina also greeted them in the same way.
　After that, they all got on the wagon.
Then, we're off.
　Lil Pop, who had gotten into the lead wagon, said so and saluted us.
　Behind me was Googs, who had been checking the wagon's cargo until the end.
　At Googs's feet were Guina and Rilna hugging each other.
　They were the two twins, the children of Googs and Lilpop, but they were already able to walk and were walking behind Googs on their own.
　Lilpop was waving to Googs and Guina Lilna once again, and Lilpop was waving to them.
"...Googs, where is the goop?
　As he said that, he looked around.
''Well, you should have been huffing and puffing behind me just now...''
　Googus looks around as he says this.

　The two adopted daughters and the ancient monster race, Goopop.
I want to help my mom!
　And I heard that he had been pestering her until the morning, but in the end, the lil' pop
That's okay, sir. I was physically persuaded.
　That's what he said.
　I didn't dare to ask him what exactly his "physical" method was, but Goupop, who finally gave up on accompanying me, had been looking away from me since I arrived with Gougs.......
'Well, that's the guy, I think he's getting upset about his sulking, isn't he?　I'm sure he's seeing you off from the shadows over there.
　That's what Googs said, and Lil Pop nodded at him.
Now, Googs, take care of the children.
　He said, and saluted again.
　Googus, in turn, gave a
Oh, I'm on it.
　He returned the salute as he said it, but then he walked straight up to Lil Pop and pulled Lil Pop close to him and kissed him on the mouth.
　For a moment, Lil Pop just closed his eyes and accepted it.
What are you doing, sir? What are you doing?
　A moment later, he moved away from Googus with a panicked look on his face.
　

　After that, we saw off the departing wagon team.
　While I was staring in the direction of everyone else's departure, Googus
My lord, well, don't worry about it. I'm sure Lilpop will take care of it if he's around.
　I smiled at that and smiled at her.
　Guina and Rilna, who were hugging at his feet, also smiled and nodded.

　The underground labyrinth group of Jan Barea and Serbin, who had come to see off Jalbin besides us, were also here, and they handed Jalbin a number of large packages, along with quite a few sealed capsules, as they headed to the site.
''What's in them?''
　And when I ask the question.
Trade secret. I'll see what I can do.
　Jambalea only smiled high and low as she said that.
　By the way, today she was wearing a white shirt with the words 'big fisherman's prayer' written on it.
　As usual, I can only nod my head at Jambalea's clothing sense.

◇ ◇.

　I saw the party of the strike force off and returned to the lord's office.
Hi, Safate.
　There was the figure of Foldente, who seemed to have just returned from the royal capital.

　Foldente, after a brief greeting.
Can I ask you something about the fake dragonscale armor case?
　That's how I came up with the idea.

　Guin's subordinates have also started investigating this matter, but it seems that an investigation is also being conducted in the royal capital regarding this matter.
　This is due to the fact that Quinn of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce has submitted a damage report to the wholesale union of the royal capital and the royal capital court.
　Because of this counterfeit dragon scale armor circulating, the Quin Chamber of Commerce asked, "Isn't the dragon scale armor that the Quin Chamber of Commerce deals in also a fake? It seems that the whole shop suffered a temporary drop in sales due to the rumors that the shop was damaged by the rumors.
　However, the scale of the case was quite large, and both the wholesale union and the court acted quickly.
　As a result.

A loophole?
　Whenever a person intends to bring goods into the King's Capital to do business, he or she is obliged to check the goods at the King's Wholesale Association.
　This was a measure to prevent counterfeit goods such as this one from being brought into King's Landing.
　Liberty Convey also mimics this system, with all goods brought into Liberty Convey being inspected at the central wholesale market first before they can be bought and sold within Liberty Convey.
　This is the reason why illegal or counterfeit goods cannot be brought into Liberty Conveyance.
　This time, a large number of counterfeit goods appeared on the market in King's Landing, where the system is based on this system, and I felt quite uncomfortable about it, but
Apparently, some noble family has been issuing powers of attorney for counterfeit goods.
　It's a power of attorney for this noble family.
"Our House of Lords vouches for the quality of this item, so there is no need to inspect it.
　As a result, it would eliminate the need for the union to check the goods and allow the goods to be sold off quickly in the capital.
　Of course, since the nobleman would be responsible for guaranteeing the quality of the goods, the nobleman would also check the quality of the goods very carefully.
　After all, if the power of attorney issued by that aristocratic family was a fake, not only would they be held liable for any damages related to the goods, but it could also lead to a credit problem for that aristocratic family.
''So.........the noble family that issued the power of attorney for this fake armor made of dragon scales is the Greed family....
　Foldente frowned as he said that.
　When I heard that name, I couldn't help but cover my face with my hands.
It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for in a new product.
　But because of this suspiciousness, the current master refused to accept it.
So why was the power of attorney issued to...
It seems that my eldest daughter, Tamar, who was dazzled by the large amount of money, issued a power of attorney without permission.
　When I heard those words, I covered my face with my hands again.

　That Tamer could do it.
　This is the same Tamar who had a keen eye for shopping and spent the family's money buying all sorts of expensive clothes and ornaments, and as a result was divorced from her bride.
　When Tamer returned to the Greed family, she apparently tried to make more purchases to relieve her gloom.
　But the Greed family was already struggling financially, so it was impossible for them to do so, and Tamar was shut up in her house, unable to do any shopping.
　Even though she is my ex-sister, I felt giddy when I heard the outburst.
I've heard that Prideaux and Tamar have been ordered to report to the Guard Bureau for a voluntary investigation.
　According to Foldente, although the interrogation is voluntary at the moment, if he is found guilty during the interrogation, he could be taken into custody and arrested without further ado, and the chances of that happening are very high....
What will happen to the Greed family if that happens?
Well, you know... since there is a rule that a person with a criminal record cannot be the head of a noble family the head of a noble family will be replaced by his sister, Causey.
　Foldente pressed his index finger to his cheek on his right hand as he said this and tilted his head back.

　The former sister, Causey, is someone who is anyway a man-lover and had a number of mistresses when she was married.
　When such a Causey takes over the Greed family........

　Thinking about it, I felt dizzy again...
