The name of the n.o.ble who is applying pressure on Road-san is a baron from Guardia called Gilbert.
The mastermind unexpectedly became apparent. I went to the store where Road-san usually buys ingredients, and when I asked the shop a.s.sistant, he answered me. Plainly.
The person in the shop didn’t want to do it, but『I couldn’t go against a n.o.ble. I’m really sorry to Road-san』he said.
「Oi! Those kids!!」
I was loitering around the shopping street and thinking “What to do?” about Baron Gilbert. All of sudden, a man shouts from behind me.
Allen and Elena got startled and hid behind me.
「Do you need something from the children?」
「Those fellows are my goods!」
「………」
…… What is this guy in the middle of the road talking?
When I appraised him, his occupation is Slave Trader. Slaves may be goods for a slave trader, but does he walk down the street and point at people making them his goods? How rude!
From his behavior, he must be the slave trader who was attacked near the Gaya Forest. He’s the one who must have ran away while using Allen and Elena as a decoy.
Though I heard they were half destroyed, this fellow was all right. What a lucky guy!
Rather, he still was in this town…… no, is it different? Has he been attacked on the way to his base?
Well, where this guy’s base is at, is unrelated to me, though.
「These children are my younger siblings. Could you please stop saying such rude things?」
「There’s no way I would mistake such distinctive kids! I will have you return them to me」
They are not slaves, they have names which are Allen and Elena, and in the first place, speaking about “returning” them is funny.
Even if what the slave trader says is true, it’s also true that he “threw them away” while using as a decoy. He has no right to claim himself as their owner. It’s only a false charge.
「Could you stop joking around?」
「Shut up! Hand them over at once!!」
「………」
I want to smash him up immediately.
But, if I do that here, he would definitely make an even bigger fuss of it.
I desperately suppress my impulse because I understand that it’s a bad move.
「Oi, what is this fuss!」
The town patrol seems to have noticed the uproar.
The curious spectators have gathered around us.
「Just at the right time. It’s a thief! This fellow has stolen my goods! Please arrest him!!」
The guards alternate their gazes between the slave trader and me.
「…… Is that the truth?」
「No, I did not do such thing」
Since the patrolling guard asked, I flatly denied it.
But you see~, a person who stole something wouldn’t usually obediently confess『I stole it』, wouldn’t he? Did you make a mistake in the confirmation method?
Well, if I was arrested without being asked first, it would be a poor mistaken arrest.
「Have you heard what goods that person said I stole from him? And by looking at this situation, do you really think it’s true?」
「……… What are the stolen goods?」
「These children!!」
「「………」」
The curious onlookers look with disgust at the uselessly screaming slave trader. Allen and Elena clung to me, hiding even further.
The patrolling guards look at the frightened children hiding behind me and then look with dubious gazes at the slave trader. From the 3rd person view, it must seem like the slave trader has picked a fight with me. Actually, that’s true.

「Where’s the proof? Please show the proof that these children are your shop’s slaves. I will say it before hand, but these children don’t have a slave crest, you know?」
