Leoldo smiled with satisfaction as he was able to get Jex  on his side .

 However, there were still many problems. At any rate, Jex is a who has earned the enmity of many nobles as the Fang of the Hungry Wolf leader , and the government has put a bounty on his head.

 In other words, he is a criminal, and if he were to take Jex under his wing, it would not only antagonize the nobility, but it would be like challenging the kingdom . That would be unforgivable at any cost.

 However, Leode has an achievement that no one else can match.

 That is the revival of transference magic. Currently, in addition to his title and domain, Leolde is receiving 20% of the profits generated by transference magic. That alone is enough of a reward, but he can still ask for more. In fact, Leolde has been told by the king that his reward is still insufficient. So, there is room for negotiation.

 Leold  is planning to negotiate with the king about joining the Hungry Wolf Fang to his army.

 However, it may be difficult. This matter is not straightforward. The nobles who were affected by the Fang of the Hungry Wolf would not remain silent. There was no doubt that they would reject Leolde request .

 Even though he is the king, he can't just favor Leolde . No matter how much Leolde  has achieved and how much power he has, there is a limit to what he can do alone. 

(There ......! I have to ask about the item that Jex has!)

 Remembering something very important, Leolde approached Jex at the children's place.

"Jex. I want to ask you one question, where are the items you stole?""

"Hmm? Yeah, it's hidden in our hideout, but we've returned some of it to its original owners."

 The original owners were people who had been cheated out of their family heirlooms and mementos by nobles and merchants. Leolde was upset when he heard that.

(Ma, seriously? You have the phoenix's tail feathers, right! Because that's important! It's super important!)

 The phoenix tail feather, one of the three resuscitation items in the game . Originally, Siegfried, the protagonist, was supposed to get them, but the story changed when Leolde added Jex to his crew. , so it's a bit late now.

"Is there something you're looking for?"

"....... Well, yeah."

spiciously at Leoldo, who seems to be having a little trouble saying it  Suspicious, Leolde  awkwardly turns away, but he can't stand it and confesses.

"I've heard that ...... one of the things you guys stole was a phoenix tail feather."

"Oh, I'm sure  we are, but I think  it's fakes. The merchant we robbed had one, but he was a con man who sold forgeries and junk to commoners."

"What?"

 Leolde knew that the fangs of the hungry wolf had the tail feathers of a phoenix, but he didn't know that there was such a story behind it, and he was seriously surprised.

(Huh? But in the game, it was used normally. ...... It's real, right? Is it possible that because I changed things, the phoenix tail feathers didn't exist?)

 (If that's the case, what am I supposed to do? It's the only resuscitation item I can get my hands on. ......!)

( No, don't give up. It's not a  clear yet. There's a chance that it's real, just because Jex and the others don't know it. But what if it really is a fake?)

 Once  he  start to doubt,  his anxiety starts to grow. Leorle, who was holding  his head  in his arms folded, fell silent.

 Then, Charlotte came up to him and gave him a chop on his head.

"Ah! Charles. What do you want?

"Look at this. Everyone is at a loss as to what to do because you've gone silent with your arms crossed."

 When Leolde was told that, he looked around and saw Barbaroto smiling in annoyance and Jex and Karen making difficult faces at him .Leolde apologizes for this, saying that he's sorry for the quandary.

"I'm sorry. First of all, let's talk about the crops that the children stole. As I said at the beginning, I will not report you with any crime. But I would like to know where the stolen crops are."

 The children reacted to these words. While Leolde was wondering how to deal with the obviously angry children, Jex spoke to them.

"Hey, where did you hide the crops you stole?"

"Uh, ......, uh, .......""

"I'm pissed, man. Didn't I tell you guys? You can't steal from people."

You don't say that!"

 Leolde was tempted to make a big comment, but she held back.

"It's not for me to say. I'm a bandit after all, even though I say it nicely. I've stolen from many nobles and merchants. That's why I'm being hunted by the government, and I can't walk around towns freely   . In the end, what I'm doing is crime .

 "If you punish the bad guys, they will do the same thing again. It's the same for me. Nothing's changed. I'm just a piece of trash who needs to steal people's things to survive.'

 "That's why I don't want you guys to become like me. I want you to live an honest life. That's what I want."

 With a kind face, Jex  SHOW the children. The child who had challenged LeoldE came forward after hearing Jex's words .

"I'm sorry. We don't have the crops we stole anymore."

"I see. May I ask why you stole them?"

"We  was hungry. I was ...... so I thought I could have some."

"That's what you said. All right. Then you and I will go to the person who stole it and apologize."

"Yeah. ......"

 The child looks down and is about to cry, clutching his clothes tightly. When Leolde  sees this, he puts his hand on the child's head and smiles.

"Well, don't worry. I'll take care of you when  time comes ."

"......!"

 Leoldo smiled in embarrassment at the child who had cried, but  get back to the village with the children.
