While the surroundings were still quiet, we loaded as much as we could into the back of the truck. When it came to stealing and sniffing out gold, everyone was very good.

"Hey, Lugis, ...... are you taking that princess with you?

"Yeah, I told you. I told you, I'll bring her if I have to.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site. I'm not sure what to make of that.

　To a commoner, a person of the knightly or noble class is a far superior being. I'm sure my parents have told me many times that if I touch them, I could be killed for it. Even if you have a rebellious spirit against the aristocracy, when you encounter the real thing, the fear engraved deep in your heart will crawl out.

By the way, what about the servants? I don't want to kill him if I can help it. ...... Well, if he saw me, then so be it.

No problem. We're not gonna screw that up. We don't want to do anything wrong either.

　I nodded back and went back to check on the house.

　I wanted to kill the servants as little as possible. If Kalia disappeared anyway, they might take the blame for it and behead me, but I don't mind that.

　But I had other intentions in mind. For that reason, I want to avoid causing death or injury as much as possible. It's an act that makes me uncomfortable.

　I wonder if we have loaded as much money and goods as we can carry. If you put in too much, one horse can't carry it. Then all that's left is to finish it. To remove the last bit of discomfort. And to get what we came for.

　What is it?

　I knew where it was. No mistake. After all, he'd heard it from Kalia Vadnick herself. Of course, it wasn't Kalia, but the future Kalia Vadnick, a brilliant knight of the Order. I once overheard him talking in a sweet voice to a man who claimed to be a savior.

　--This is a family heirloom. Lore calls it a mystery, a miracle.

　It's been passed down from generation to generation. It's just something that's been passed down from generation to generation. Something whose importance is not yet understood at this time. That's why she said it was kept in an underground warehouse. Stepping through the open door, I entered the warehouse.

　It was dimly lit, smelled of dust, and had a chill crawling up my heels.

It's you, you're the one I've been looking for.

　Oh, yes. It was carefully held in place, but it didn't look like a piece of gold, and it didn't have the value of an antique. It's just old-fashioned, like it's lost not only its value but also its meaning.

　The moment I hold it in my hand, in the form of an old sword, my heart is occupied with such elation that if I could, I would let out a cry of joy from my mouth.

　Oh, yes. This is lore itself. There once was a woman. Kalia Vadnick gave it to her savior to use as his weapon.

　--Oh, now I've crushed one.

　He covers it discreetly with a cloth and hangs it at his waist, suppressing the rising of his cheeks. He left the basement as if nothing had happened.

　The house was now empty of gold, and the family heirlooms were gone. But the servants are just tied up. Well, then. Then surely it's no surprise that the crime belongs to Kalia Vadnick. The conditions for shifting all the blame to him are now in place.

　I'm sure you'll agree.

"Free Cities of the East: ...... Garou Amalia?

"I've prepared a carriage and directions. There's no way Burbage Vardnik can get to you there. We can take our time there until things cool down.

　The free city of Galuamaria in the east. The free city of Galuamaria in the east, with its solid walls and wealth from its prosperity as a trading center between east and west. Against this backdrop, the city functions as a single city-state that is free from interference from other nations. No matter how knightly the class, the people of Galuamaria, who value their independence, would refuse to interfere.

But it's complicated to think that the money from the sale of the family fortune will pay for the carriage.

Please don't do that. I've even borrowed money for this tailoring. The money I took from you this time was more than enough to cover my expenses.

　He wrinkles his brow and lets out a dark sigh from within his lungs.

　Yes, the reward for old Richard, the payment for the feast, and these new clothes. None of it can come out of my meager pockets. So, I borrowed them. From the infamous blue-haired demon Talwyth-Teg. On the strictest of terms.

Whatever you do, get out of here. You won't get through the gates so easily if there's a commotion.

"...... Lugis, what about you? What about you, Rougis? You'll be under suspicion if I'm gone.

　Just before getting on the carriage, Kalia asked, shaking her silver hair in tufts and smiling, her eyes narrowed.



"Oh ......, I'll catch up soon enough. But I'll have to pay off my debts to get back to this country. That's the only thing I have to do.

　Oh, that was a lie. An outright lie. The debt to Tarwyth-Teg has already been paid in full from the stolen gold.

　I have a purpose. To become a great adventurer and bring Alueno home. The best way to do that is to stay in the Kingdom of Garleist. So this is where I leave you, Caria. In the future, you were a man who looked down on the weak, who was cold-hearted, who didn't hide his prejudices. You weren't so bad here. I'll miss you.

　I was deep in thought when... Kalia's white fingers gripped my wrist. So tight, it's like she's trying to squeeze me.

"No.

　"No. I can hear the sound of flesh being tightened. I looked at Kalia with a scowl, and saw a face I knew well. There was the smile this woman gives when she's being mean.

If you want to stay in the Garristo, I can go back to the house now and tell you this.　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　I could see the blood drained from his face. Not only his face, but all of his bloodstream seemed to be losing its direction and slipping downward.

　My thoughts instantly froze and I couldn't come to any conclusion.

"You think I don't notice?　You're an idiot. I know exactly what you're up to.

　I can't argue with that. I'm at a loss for words, because they're all going to be so flimsy.

"But I don't care. But I don't care. I don't care. You're on my side, aren't you?　If you're on my side, shouldn't you be traveling with me? If, if. If you're going to betray me.

　--I'll make sure you're destroyed, won't I?

　Kalia pressed her body against his and whispered in his ear. I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if you've seen it.

　It's bad. Oh, my God. The one person who shouldn't have sensed me at all has. You don't know the details, you can't know everything. But still, he knew. He knew I had an agenda. And she knew it and she let me get away with it.

　Yeah, she's a b*tc*. That's why I didn't want anything to do with her. This sucks. This is the worst.

"Well, ......, you said something about debt. What do you care?　We're leaving the country.

　Kalia said, forcing me to pull myself into the carriage. My bewildered brain and my confused, rigid body could not resist the action, and we both fell into the carriage.

"Lugis. You're on my side, aren't you?

　You're on my side, aren't you?" Kalia said as she slumped down and looked into his face from below.

　She's really a disgusting, disgusting woman, this one.

"Yeah, of course I'm on your side. Kalia.

　She said with a deliberate smile, so as not to show her agitation at least.

　The carriage begins to vibrate and drive. The carriage began to vibrate as it drove away from the garlist, away from my intentions.
