âŚ.Princess Queenâs Office room in cryload castle
Princes Queen was frowning as she looked at the regionâs report.
She already knew that the perpetrator regarding the incident in which a group intruded the castleâs treasury was the former king, plus the guy who they captured spilt the beans, further confirming her speculation.
However, this problem is tricky to deal with since they canât just announce to the public that the member of the Royal family is a criminal, since she herself, is of the same family.
Thus, the queen ordered a secret mission to capture the former king and his little organization, and think of the punishment later on.
Unfortunately, the former king has already suspected such move by the castle, hence, theyâve delved deeper into the depths hidden from the eyes of the queenâs force, and continued their evil businesses.
This familyâs conflict now spans the entire continent.
...at a certain buildingâs room.
âYouâre quite good to be able to find this placeâ
Former king praised the chief foxes who came by themselves to his secret banker, while sitting on his make do throne.
âWell, we have many ways to pinpoint your location konâ
âSo keep this in mind whenever you feel like betraying us kokonâ
Gold and silver fox sister walked to his side and started laughing. *kusu kusu*.
â...What is your business here? Iâm sure you didnât come here for a chit chatâ
Former king clicked his tongues and looked irritatingly at the two.
He was still angry at the fact that he was forced to lower the price because of the stupid mistakes both sides made.
âWell, donât be so mean konâ
âIâve brought in a good news for both of us kokonâ
The two slid their fingers across former kingâs chin, alluringly.
âLast time, when you invaded the castle you took another treasure with the treasure we asked for, and youâre keeping it hidden with you right kon?â
â...the good is not in the contract. I donât have any reason to hand it over to you peopleâ
âThat's not what we meant, we are saying we are buying that kokonâ
The female fox henchman came from the entrance following the silver foxâs signal and displayed the absurd amount of gold inside the bag she was carrying to the former king.
Former king who saw it, brightened up his dark and gloomy face.
âIâm sure you know it but this is a stolen goods from the castle so it is very hard to sell it on the public channel? Even we had to hide it in the sealed treasure box chanted with concealment magic.â
When a magic item is registered as a stolen item in the merchant guild, it will be under great search by the castle magicians, and the search will span the entire country.
And if the item were to be detected even once, it will be automatically pursued no matter where it is in the country, so it is very bothersome.
Especially it could be thought that the castleâs mages are frantically searching the good former king directly stole from the treasury.
âThatâs why we are buying it konâ
âYou see, we have some one who we want to take revenge kokonâ
The two foxes smiled bewitchingly to the former king.
..at certain location in a certain road..
âBlonde haired heroâŚ.we havenât seen a single carriage comingâ
â...true, I was thinking of getting a lift but I didnât think any carriage passed byâ
âOur food and drink supply is already getting low-desu~â
â...There is no other way but to walkâ
âWa, wa, wait for me Blonde haired hero~....My leg got numb from all this walking andâŚ.â
â...too sloppyâ
âA!? You donât have to carry me in your back like thisâ
âIf you really think like that then just shut up and rest in my back so that you can resume walking by yourselfâ
â....Oka~yâ
...Houtarou town in Miscellaneous store YugoâŚ.
âThis is todayâs supply right nya?â
Uliminus signed the document after checking the baggage that was placed in the storage room.
âHou, Compared to your shopâs scale, you got quite a lot of the supplyâ
Furio was behind her watching the process.
Furio in his old world worked as a merchant, in charge of item delivery. Thus, he is adept at calculating and/or estimating vis-a-vis shopâs scale, ins and outs of customers, and the required supply quantity.
âLately, Iâve been buying the supply through collaboration with other shops nya, since with this I can get a slightly cheaper priceâ
âAs expected of Uliminus. You are already doing things like that, Iâm honestly surprisedâ
âRe, really nya? Even if you praise me, nothing but will come out nyaâ
Saying so Uliminus hummed happily as she skipped to the shop.
Furio who stayed behind stared deeply at one bag in peculiar.
...In Evening in front of the Yugo storeâŚ.
âItâs in this shop right?â
The castleâs guard captain who was in front of Miscellaneous Store Yugo asked the mages standing behind him.
âYes, there is no mistakeâ
âThe reaction is coming from inside this shopâ
All the mages pointed at Yugoâs direction and answered in unison.
âAlright, I understand. Everyone get into your position! We will surround this shop!â
To guard captainâs command 100 or so guards went in to their formation, as they scattered around the shop to surround it.
âThe remaining guys help me with the questioning of the workers. As long as a situation calls you can forcefully capture them.Understood? Make sure to not any escape!â
After confirming everyoneâs nod, the guard captain took a step inside of the shop.
However, unbeknownst to them, two shadow of a human were observing this play from afar.
âIt became interesting Konâ
âThis is fun to watch Kokonâ
