But they did not gather as much information as I expected.
"Hmmm, ...... we didn't gather as much as I expected."
"What should we do?
"Hmmm, ...... let's go to the victim's field."
Leolde decides to stop gathering information and go to the field where the damage was done. He goes to the victim's house and asks the woman to show him to the field.
He arrives at the damaged field. The woman takes him to the place where the damage was done.
"Here."
He examined the spot where the woman pointed, and sure enough, there was a child's footstep . They were different from those of goblins and kobolds, so he knew they belonged to a child.
He looked in the direction of the footprints, but they had disappeared. Wondering if someone had intentionally erased the trails , Leolde asked the woman about them.
"Did you erase these footprints? Or did they just disappear?""
"'They were gone. We tried to follow the footprints too, but we noticed that they were gone on the way".
"...... Okay."
If the trail, the clue, disappears in the middle of the path, it is impossible to follow it. It seemed that they were back to square one, but Barbaroto approached the location of the missing trails and confirmed it.
"This ...... is one thing I want to ask you, has this place been intact since the damage was done?"
"Well, yes."
"Hmm. Master Leolde. The culprit may not be just a child.
"What? What do you mean?"
As he approached Barbaroto's curious question, Leolde checked the missing trails.
"Can you tell?"
"...... I have no idea!"
"This is intentionally erased. Thieves do it to prevent their hideouts from being founded ."
"What the hell? So the owner of these footprints is a bandit?"
"Well, that's not necessarily the case. But judging from his M.O., it's possible."
"Even though he's just a kid?"
"He's just a kid, so he must have been a bit naive. A real bandit wouldn't have left a trails in the first place.'
"Oh, I see. But a bandit. ......"
"What should we do? ? Shall we form a team and search the area?
(Hmmm ......, the three of us are enough in terms of strength. But the kid thing is bugging me. I feel like I'm forgetting something. ......)
Barbaroto gulped as Leolde crossed his arms and wrinkled his brow Barbaroto mistakenly thought that if Leoldo was so worried about it, it might be an incredibly troublesome case.
(Ah! I'm so close to remembering! I'm so bewildered!)
Resisting the urge to scratch his head, Leolde stopped thinking. Leolde who finally stops crossing his arms and returns to his normal expression.
"The three of us will conduct the investigation. Barbaroto, Charlotte. Let's go back and get the horses."
Once there, the three of them went back to get the horses that had been left . After retrieving the horses, the three of them mounted their horses and, with Leolde in the lead, entered the forest outside the village.
Leolde was not thinking about anything in particular, so he led the horse without any particular direction. He could only call him an idiot, but by chance it turned out to work.
"Mm......?""
As soon as Leolde noticed, Barbaroto and Charlotte became more alert.
(We surrounded. Are they bandits?)
Leolde and the other two were surrounded by several people as they made their way through the forest. They were hiding behind plants and trees to hide their presence, but the three of them could see them clearly.
However, Leolde, wondering whether he should assume that the people who were not attacking him were bandits, crossed his arms and twisted his neck.
As Leorle pondered for a while, the other party made a move. they are trying to escape without attacking the three of them.
"Do you want me to go after them , Master Leolde?"'
(Oh, I remember now. This is, I believe, the boy bandits in the sub-event. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to happen =after the Hungry Wolf Fang is arrested, so why now?)
Boy bandits. In the Destiny 48 , this appears when the Fang of the Hungry Wolf is arrested. The content is such that the boys and girls that Jex was taking care of would imitate the Fang of the Hungry Wolf group .
However, it is only a child's imitation. Soon, they are found out and end up being scolded by the heroes. However, the boys and girls have a strong grudge against the heroes who arrested the hungry wolf's fangs, and they spew out their bitterness and resentment.
This is surprisingly heart-wrenching.
The heroes captured the hungry wolf's fangs in the name of justice, but for the boys and girls, the hungry wolf's fangs were heroes and the heroes were evil. This is why Siegfried, the protagonist, who is blamed for the incident was their main enemy .
It was a painful experience for him to watch.
Now, why did the boy bandits show up now? he I don't know the reason yet, but he going to ask them first, he said, shouting loudly so that the children hiding there could hear him.
"I know you're hiding in there. I don't want to hurt you, but I want you to come out. I want to talk to you!"
Then the children, who had been hiding behind the trees and grass, appeared.
(I thought they would run away, but they are not . I was surprised.)
Leolde made eye contact with a child who was looking straight at him.
"Are you the leader?"
"What do you want, nobleman?
"I would have scolded you to be more careful with your words, but I'll tolerate it. I'd like to ask you, did you steal the crops from the village down the road?"
He asked gently, trying not to provoke the child, but the child seemed to be offended and shouted.
"It's none of your business!"
(Hmmm, we're not getting anywhere. ...... If we keep this up, Barbaroto might get angry.)
Leolde glanced behind him and saw that Barbaroto seemed to be slightly angry. If this continues, Barbaroto might scold the children.
If that happens, the conversation will become even more complicated. Leolde was troubled by the fact that he had to avoid that.
But they did not gather as much information as I expected.
"Hmmm, ...... we didn't gather as much as I expected."
