Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

"Speaking of which, I've been kidnapping more girls lately, Hermes, don't you know anything?

"Hmm?

At noon one day, relaxing at Ortier's, she suddenly asked me that.

Until then I was on the bed with her, knee-pillow and I glanced at her all at once and looked at her with my knee pillow.

"What's going on? Suddenly. It's unusual to shake a subject like that from you."

I was more surprised by Ortier's tone than I heard back.

Ortier is a "professional" whore.

I always say that I am proud to be a whore and I don't actually take money for anything other than a whore.

In addition to being a profession that greatly confuses men, a whore is often given an unusual treasure of gold and silver by the other man.

Accepting it is not a bad thing in itself, but rather a normal thing as a whore.

But Ortier hasn't tried so hard.

It's not normal for her to ask me this as a guest.

"Is that crazy?"

"Oh, that's crazy. Anyway, if it's a lifetime favor or something."

"Do you prefer a lifetime favor? Hermes, are you a mazo boy?

"Why not! It's just that I don't feel bad about being a man."

I'm demanding, but I don't normally feel bad about getting a "favor" from a pretty girl.

I rather feel good.

"haha, sorry"

Ortier has put his hands together and apologized with a wink.

Immediately afterwards, the expression changes.

It's not like before, it's a serious look.

And when I felt "something," I got up from my knee pillow, spinning all the way over the bed, facing her straight back.

"I'm sure Hermes knows, but a lot of whores have been kidnapped and sold,"

"Well... even now?

"Not much now"

"Right."

I nodded quietly.

I've been a lord, and I've had a few things on my mind.

It's about people and human trafficking.

I am not forbidden to voluntarily sell my child from my parents.

In the first place, there is a need to reduce our mouths when it comes to rural areas, and we are often happier with each other if we buy and sell them properly.

Trafficking in human beings through kidnapping is strictly forbidden and allowed to be controlled.

I was relieved to hear the result from Ortier's mouth.

"But I knew it wasn't zero."

"Right. There's no such thing as" zero. "

"Sometimes I knew you'd come. I bought it because there are a lot of things I should buy here, and so I'm coming back, and there have been a lot of kidnappings here lately, but they're not coming to us at all."

"What about the other whorehouses?

"I don't think so. I heard about your sister."

Sister... you mean Hestia, the senior of Ortier's whore.

"Right..."

I didn't pick my chin, I thought.

It's not what I told Ortier, but "not at all" is odd.

If this doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to come here if you haven't bought it since you usually do, but if you've bought it from people from time to time, it's weird that it doesn't come at all.

If you've reached zero, you should think there's something there.

"So, yeah. Hermes, don't you know anything?"

"... ok. I'll check it out."

"My lord told me to look into it, but as you said, there are a lot of missing persons in the territory."

Mansion's office.

I was frowning when I heard about Mimis' investigation.

It's only about half a day since I ordered Mimis, but it still seems to be so frequent that the result of "a lot occurring" clearly comes up.

"Are you working it out?

"Most of them are with unsolved. And"

"And?"

"Probably all the same."

"On what grounds?

"So far, the more kidnappings we've seen, the more we think about it, the more younger daughters are being exposed."

"Young daughter?

"Age goes up to 12 below and 25 above. They all seem to be targeted only by unmarried daughters."

"From?

"Some farmer's daughters, others merchant's daughters. There was also a reputable teahouse town in the city."

"I see..."

If it's just the kids of that age, it's natural for a whore/whorehouse like Ortier to care if it does become a rumor.

Maybe the lack of commonalities is also the reason to accelerate rumors.

"And one more thing"

"Hmm?"

"Money has been delivered to my daughter's home."

"The money? How long?"

"It's a gold coin, about 10 sheets"

"Ten gold coins!? If you're a young girl, work hard for ten years."

"It's still people buying more than money is generating," he said.

"Are you stupid or what?"

I was scared.

Said Mimis became proper.

"Duh, what is this about?

"The amount is too big for a young daughter's human trafficking, and does that kind of person bother delivering money to their parents' house?

"Oh, that's..."

Let go of the wolfish mistakes, I thought.

I wondered if I should be actively involved.

That's what I'm talking about.

This thing is connected to a pretty big back (,).

Even though it's a means of kidnapping, it's the best reason I've delivered a lot of money to their parents' house.

The cases connected to the big ones, on the contrary, are also huge when they are solved.

Sorry about Ortier, but I didn't hear this story...

"-!"

I knocked down the chair and got up.

"Your lord?

Look at the windows, looking at the amazing mistakes.

Precisely, read the signals (,,) that came from that way.

Definitely, this signal is for my sister.

My sister is important to me.

For this reason, I do magic so that I can tell as soon as something happens to my sister.

Three brothers died suddenly from meteorites, and they kept their magic to protect themselves.

The magic activated.

I've been telling her about your sister's crisis.

"-!"

I snapped a window and popped out.

I jumped, kicked in the void (,) and accelerated, flying magic straight to where the signal was.

Soon, I saw it from the sky.

Take the boulevard out of the city, one carriage in sickness.

I pulled out my hips sword and threw it at me.

After flying straight away, the sword drew an arc and once it soared, it fell to the ground upside down, sucked in.

And at the end of the carriage - piercing the ground at the end of the horse.

Hihihihi-no - and without a horse, the carriage stopped.

The sword that has come - the horse gathered momentum to the overwhelming presence of a dark sword that gives off a black aura.

I landed next to the sword, staring at the carriage and the man.

"Leave the man in it"

"-!"

The man wearing the hood deeply was upset to see.

Even without such a reaction, there is no doubt that your sister is in the carriage.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

It was a woman's voice, I ignored it.

Pull out the pierced sword and straighten it out.

A blade of vacuum slashed off the top half of the carriage and blew it away as it was.

There were two of them in the carriage.

One is a sister who is fainting.

I have passed out, but it feels painful. Nothing has been done yet.

The other one - was a woman.

A young girl several years younger than me, dressed in tailored clothes.

"Leave that person. My sister."

"Elaine! Get him out of the way!

The girl riding with her sister raised her voice and shouted.

By the command of the LORD, he will put his hand into his nostalgia.

"Master Erica?

It was the voice of a beautiful but surprised woman who heard from the side that stopped the battle from happening.

Turning around, the woman was a known face.

Hestia. She was a senior in Ortier's whore.

"You... your father's..."

"That person... was Erica the kidnapper?

Two people who are amazed at each other.

I whisper my eyebrows, lay the sword of darkness on my sheath, and ask Hestia.

"You know that kid, Hestia"

"Yes."

Hestia nodded.

As soon as I did, I had a bad feeling.

Very, very bad feeling.

Because I remembered the last minute girl's words "father's..." and the flow of "father" I once engaged with Hestia.

So I tried to stop her from hanging out.

"His Highness Erica Rica Karamba. Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Karamba."

The mastermind was too big to be expected.
