Knights, Let’s Smash Them

89 – My magistrate! (2)

“So, this guild leader didn’t hire children to exploit them, but rather to help them financially, right?”

“Yes! That’s what I mean!”

Mark Calaway (15 years old), who has a name as reliable as his face, actively supported the adventurer’s guild leader.

After that, the additional testimony of the children standing outside the adventurer’s guild, not knowing what to do, overlapped.

The head of the adventurer’s guild in Monterto, on the contrary, took care of the children’s livelihood—even going against the law——having the image of a somewhat subtle sage.

‘Is it good? No matter how dangerous the dungeon is…….’

However, looking at the documents Petra had prepared, most of the dungeons where minor porters were put in were C-class, at most B-class.

In the case of Class C, a 15-year-old boy equipped with basic armaments was at a level that could respond to sudden situations.

A dilemma indeed.

I’m sure you broke the law. Rather, judging by the result of reassuring and urging the children, it was possible to receive a more severe sentence than now.

It’s because Petra proceeded in an abbreviated manner, and in the end, the sentence the guild leader will receive is at least two years in prison.

If they were brought to the capital and tried in the imperial court, there was a high possibility that they would be punished even more than that.

But.

If you have arranged jobs for children who are single-parent families or who grew up in an orphanage and did not have a background to earn enough money.

If most of the relay fees were returned to the children.

Even I couldn’t hastily conclude whether it was right to punish according to the law with this.

The position of Petra, who came to enforce the law, is also the same.

It was definitely a mistake to send Mark to the dungeon managed by the Black Lion Knights fearlessly, but seeing Mark’s face made me understand why he thought he wouldn’t be caught.

The reason why it got stuck in the first place was that I should have kept my mouth shut, and it was because I stepped on something similar to a bug while escaping from the dungeon and screamed.

His face is that of a mercenary who fought a major battle, but a voice that hasn’t even gone through a transformation comes out of his mouth, so the manager and knights can’t help but be suspicious.

“Why, why do you look like that…… ?”

From noble mtl dot com.

When I stare at Mark’s face, he is conscious of his gaze and shrinks his body.

Poor fellow.

Still, isn’t there a myth that people with this level of presbyopia won’t age when they grow old?

Please hope so, Won.

I let out a deep sigh and nudged Petra’s shoulder, who was sitting next to her.

“…… ?”

“Let’s go out and talk for a minute.”

I stood up with Petra.

“Why don’t we just end with a verbal warning?”

“Yes…… ?”

“The situation is pitiful, and since I am sitting in the post of Lord So, feeling like a deputy, I am in trouble for no reason.”

“That, that… ….”

I grabbed Petra’s hesitant hand. She is startled and backs away from her. I even spit out hiccups without even realizing it.

“Hiccup!”

“Petra, it looked really cool when I saw it earlier. But wouldn’t people look more cool if we showed that kind of mercy here?”

“Oh, was it cool?”

“Yes. It was really cool. Even though he is my junior, I wonder how he has already grown up.”

I showered him with praise without hesitation. Petra was bound to show a particularly weak side in this area.

Unsurprisingly, her judgment was gradually fading, and she was dyeing her face red like the leaves of Monterto.

As I touched and massaged his hand, he finally raised the white flag as if he couldn’t help it.

“Oh, I see…” … ! Well, that’s why this kind of stimulation is too…… Stop!”

“As expected, Petra! It’s brittle when it’s brittle, and it’s flexible when there’s a judo-ri!”

A cute guy.

I patted Petra on the back and went into the room where the guild leader was putting on a bamboo statue.

“Come on… …. Well, I had no intention of exploiting it. In fact, the victims also do not want to be punished, so this time, the Knights of the Black Lion will be merciful.”

“Are you sure!?!”

“There doesn’t seem to be any suspicion of profiting from that activity. You are free, guild leader.”

“Thank you! Thank you!!”

The guild leader prostrated himself toward Petra. Seeing this, the other children bowed their heads as well.

“Don’t thank me, thank the Baron Alroy of Luvern next to you.”

“Is there any time limit! Thank you, Baron!!”

“Thank you, Baron!!”

I turned my head slightly and looked at Petra. It was she with her arms crossed and her solemn expression, but she was strangely wriggling the corners of her mouth.

This is this.

After holding the position of head of the administration, he’s good at dealing with power, which was a young suk.

Very good.

It’s a satisfactory growth.

“Then, Guild Leader, please proceed with the matter of securing manpower for the completion of this project as you said earlier.”

“Ah, yes yes!!”

“When the builders come up from the capital side, tell them to wait at the guild. I’m coming over to share a meal with a friend I haven’t seen in a long time.”

“Okay!!”

The guild leader answered with a booming voice and jumped up from his seat.

“Let’s go, Petra. Did you eat?”

“Oh, no… ….”

“Then it just worked out. Last time I asked you to come with Latheon at the Lupel Cooking Contest, but you couldn’t come?”

“It was. Ha, I really wanted to go.”

“This time, a branch opened here in Monterto, too? Let’s go eat together I’m just going to have dinner soon.”

I stood up holding her hand.

If you visit Rupel Mansion, you must eat chicken!

***

“Welcome! RPC (Lupel Chicken)!”

When I entered the store, I was greeted by a cheerful employee.

“Wow…… There are even uniforms. This is not common even in the capital city.”

I shrugged my shoulders at Petra, who was examining the first Luchihyup Monterto store with an admiring expression.

Yes, praise more! To praise!

Originally, when I first came, I called all the people who were cooking in the kitchen, and the manager even greeted me personally.

Unfortunately, today was the third day, so such a big event did not take place.

But who am I?

The de facto leader of the Luchihyeop.

As expected, the clerk led me and Petra to the innermost suite of the branch.

A VVIP professional employee who manages only the suites separately puts on the cover on a 1:1 basis. Petra’s eyes widen as if she didn’t know that she would receive this level of service.

At times like this, I really want to make a CM song and sing it. I got a job in the Knights of the Country and my era of success began.

“If you have something to order, please ring this bell and I will come right away.”

“Thank you every time.”

“Then please relax and enjoy yourself.”

The waitress bowed his head, closed the back door, and disappeared.

“So Petra, what would you like to eat? Personally, I recommend this assorted chicken box. Or you can order all three of them.”

“You know I can’t eat that much.”

“When you work overtime with me, you always eat late-night snacks, right? I left it, but you ate it all.”

“That, that…… !! It was because I was stressed!?”

Petra huffed and shouted.

“My head of administration, after taking on the position of general manager, I have definitely become more confident. You look great.”

“Why don’t you hold out a little longer. The Black Lion Knights aren’t in a frenzy right now.”

At my word, Petra bitterly sweeps away the certificate indicating that she is the head of the Order of the Knights.

“The existing manpower has been largely divided. Because of the overturn at the Inspection Bureau…… Corruption is also being wiped out.”

“Ah, could that be why the dungeon management wasn’t straight?”

“It’s true that I didn’t pay attention to the northern part on purpose, but the dungeon management department was beaten the hardest.”

That’s what happened.

There are not many people who can survive once the sword of the Inspection Bureau is swung.

But if it was related to corruption, I could have been a problem…… ? Instantly, I felt a chill run down my spine.

I’m from a commoner, but if I got caught by the Inspection Bureau, it was clear that my real bone marrow would be severed.

“Come on! Hmm! What can i do though Now that it’s like this, I’ll do my best here.”

“You look so cool that way.”

“Thanks Petra. You have become prettier too.”

I laughed hahahaha and countered. Petra twitched around her body like a pooped puppy and muttered something into her mouth.

“…… It’s like this every time.”

“What?”

“No big deal. Okay, I don’t know, so the Lubern Administrator recommends it. Still, don’t you know better than anyone about the diet of the pretty juniors you worked with for several years?”

“Then don’t know.”

I chose the ‘wife’s house’ chicken without hesitation. In addition to that, I ordered them to try other chickens in an assorted box.

“Petra likes spicy things, right?”

“So that’s what I only eat when I’m stressed… ….”

“So you hate it?”

“…… Not that.”

You’re going to admit it so easily, but you’re going to bounce back.

I called the waiter and ordered the menu. In addition, a special draft beer airlifted directly from Balgroud Tavern in Petalonto was added.

“But why is the name of your wife’s house? The tone is strange.”

“I heard it tastes as sweet and hot as when my daughter and wife went down to her mother-in-law’s house.”

“Who the hell would describe taste like that…… !!”

Watching Petra continue to tackle her, it felt like a beggar, but now it reminds me of the days of the Black Lion Knights, which have become memories.

“But the taste is perfect. That’s how I feel right now.”

“Yes?”

“Finally, I am freed from parenting. If you marry Petra, be sure to bring her son-in-law…….”

As Petra also has a one-sided relationship with Lucy and Ciannu, it was just the moment I was about to explain how difficult my daily life was.

The door to the suite, which had been closed, was thrown open.

What is it? Is the order already out?

However, what appeared was not the wife’s house chicken with steam rising.

“Huh?”

“Poetry, Poetry, Chief Xianne!?”

“Have you been eating here?”

She was my real wife.

And at the same time.

Lubern couldn’t notice that Petra’s face had gone cold.
