After successfully getting Charlotte to  listen to him, Leolde took both Charlotte and Barbaroto to the village in question.

"The inconvenient part of long-distance transfer is that you have to visit the place once.. before you can transfer to that place ."

 Leolde warned Charlotte, who was complaining while riding a horse.

"I'm not going to complain about it. Just being able to use it is enough."

"Well, that's true..."

 The three of them proceeded to the village in a relaxed atmosphere.

 There is no incident of being attacked by  monsters on the way. Monsters have intelligence, so they can determine if it is okay to attack. Perhaps it was a wild instinct, but when the monsters saw the three of them , they disappeared to avoid being noticed.

 Therefore, it can be said that the three of them are almost never attacked by monsters. The only exceptions were Monster Panic and Monster Parade.

 And when the three of them were leisurely riding along, they arrived at the village that had been reported.

 Dismounting, Leorle led them into the village.

 They quickly found the villager . He is a man with short brown hair who looks to be in his late teens or early twenties. Leolde approached the man and greeted him.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

"Hmm? You're a nobleman, aren't you?"

 The man turns back to Leolde, who called out to him from behind. The man sees that  he is a nobleman by the way he is dressed and rushes to get down on his knees.

"Oh, oh!"

 Leolde was also surprised at the sudden kneeling, as he had not seen such a reaction recently. If he had thought about it, he would have known that he was a nobleman and was feared by the commoners  , but he had forgotten all about it.

"Look up. I've come here today to lern something ."

"Something you want to find out? What is it?""

"Well. Actually, I heard that there was an incident in this village where someone ransacked the fields. I'd like to know more about it."

"Oh, you mean that? Would you like me to take you to the person who ransacked the field?"

"Oh, that would be great."

"Then please follow me.""

 The man stood up and led Leolde and the co  to the house of the victim of the raid.

"Here we are."

"I see. So you belong to this house. Thank you for showing us the way."

"No! It's the leas thing t I can do!"

"I'll see you soon."

"Yes, lord ! I'll take my leave now!"

 After watching the man leave with a salute, Leorde knocked on the door of the house he was shown.

"I'm sorry. Who are you,?

 This was his second reaction of the day. Leolde called out to the woman who was probably the owner of the house, who was about to get down on her knees.

"Well, wait. It's hard to talk when you're on your knees. Can you let me in the house first?

"But, lord ", we don't have anything to entertain noblemen. Would that be all right with you?

"I don't want it, so it's fine. In the meantime, I'd like to talk to you inside the house since  we will be seen."

"Okay, I understand. O. It's a small house, but come in."

 Leolde and  co were  leaded into the house and sat down on the chairs immediately after entering. There were only two chairs, so Leolde and the woman who owned the house sat across the desk from each other.

"I want to sit too!"

"There are only two chairs. Be patient."

"Then why don't you just stand there?"

"What? What's your name, my lord?"

(Oh, I don't know his face, but his name sounds familiar.)

 When a new lord takes over , the village in the countryside is informed by a sign or by the village chief. So,  she don't know his face, but  know his name.

"Oh, yes. I'm sorry I'm late in introducing myself, but my name is Leolde Herbst. I am also the lord of Ze'at."

 And this woman here is Charlotte Grinde. She's my advicer and bodyguard."

 And the man here is Barbaroto Dogrum. He is a knight and my bodyguard."

"Why did you come to be my lord?"

"For that matter, are you the only one in the house?"

"No, no! I live here with my husband."

"Where is your husband?"

"He's out at the moment."

". - Hmm, I see. Well, let's talk about it without him. The reason I'm here is because I heard that the farm was raided. I want to know more about it. Can you tell me more ?"

"Yes, well, that's  why we asked the village chief to send a knight for, isn't it?""

"Yes, I know. That's why I'm here instead of the knight."

"Oh, no! I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have troubled you, my lord!"

"No, it's fine . So please stop getting down on your knees."

 The woman regretted that they had bothered the lord, Leolde, just because they had done something unnecessary, and got down on  her knees.

 Of course, Leolde didn't think so at all. So he urges the woman on her knees to stop kneeling.

"So, but ........."

"If you're thinking about me, stop getting down on your knees and let me talk to you.

"I understand. ......"

Leolde, tired from the start, put her weight on the back of the chair.

"At ......, we heard about the reported raid on the field.

"Yes. It was a few days ago that our field was raided . When we went to check on the field as usual, we found that our crops had been stolen."

 "However, the damage was not that serious. There was enough left for me and my husband to eat."

 "At first, my husband and I thought that one of the villagers was the culprit and we asked around the village, but there was no culprit in the village."

"Hmm. ...... So it was the work of a monster?"

"No, it wasn't."

"What? So it's the villagers?"

"I think it was the ...... child."

"Why you think so ?"

"My husband and I once looked around the area where the crops were that were stolen once, and we found several footprints that looked like they belonged to a child.

"Are you sure they are not children of the village?"

 The woman shook her head in response to Leolde's question.  with mean, no.

"If they are not children of the village, then  who ......  is the culprits?"

"So I thought I'd ask you to send me your ...... knight."

"I'm sure you've got a lot of questions. I'll find out who did this, I promise."

"Oh, thank you, my lord!"

 The woman bowed deeply, and the confident Leolde turned his head.  He don't know why he is so confident, but e e has some idea.
