46 44 Aftermath (2/2)
Ten minutes later. Gilmouth appeared out of breath. That's fast. They're in such a hurry.
”Thank you for waiting, Miss Fran”
”Mmm.”
”Viscount Augusto... oh, you were there. Hey.”
When the adventurer Gilmouth brings, takes charge of Viscount Auguste, he carries it.
”Where are you taking me?
”Oh, under the use of Count Olmes.”
That's a new name. Who is it?
”Uncle Olmes is the father of Viscount Alsando.”
”Did the father let you catch the child?
”Yes. I'd like this to be just a story here. Originally, Viscount Alsando was a problematic figure. But because he had the skills to spot lies, Count Olmes has used them without punishing him.”
”Mmm.”
”But a few days ago, it looks like that skill suddenly disappeared. I don't know why. It's a very rare phenomenon. Well, maybe God punished him for not lowering his skills.”
Yeah, well, they punished me. Leave that to me.
”I was amazed at how things have changed since. Whoever you were dealing with, you must have been using your lying discernment skills. It was gone, and he didn't seem to trust anyone anymore.”
I see. What if one day you suddenly lose your skills in spotting lies you've had since birth? Well, would that even be human distrust? Well, it didn't feel that easy. It was about to break completely.
I got a handy skill. Yea, I thought so, but let's keep it down a bit. I don't want to be like a stupid Viscount. I'm not special enough to think I'm okay.
”A few days ago, we also had a problem with the royalty we visited on the inspection. I ignored the courtesy and nothing, and suddenly I grabbed it between my eyes, and I shouted,” Don't lie. ”
Wow. That's terrible. No, wait, wait, wait. But you also took away your skills in court manipulation. That's affecting you too...?
”And he walked out of a room under house arrest, and he disappeared. In doing so, you seem to have brought up a considerable amount of gold. I used most of them, and I was able to grasp the footprint until I bought expensive weapons.”
Ten, eighty-nine, I guess it's Gülan's guide. And after I caught Fran, he said he was going to fly high without going back to Aretha. I don't care about Viscount Fool.
”As Uncle Olmes, you don't want to make things bigger. Before Viscount Alsando had any further problems, he secretly asked me to secure his identity.”
”Secret?”
”Yep. This is personal, but I think I'd like to use it somehow, keeping him from losing his skills. I don't know if you're going to hit the Shadow Man or treat him. To that end, I want to keep the Viscount in check. And I want to carry things as secretly as possible to prevent this from being exposed. That would be the case.”
”I can't do this anymore.”
”I think so, too. Well, failure or success, it's none of my business. There's no harm in selling favors to those in power. The request fee was also very good, including the shutdown fee.”
Hopefully. The commission was good, huh?
”Ji.”
”... even if you don't, we'll treat you like a request, and we'll give you all the bonuses.”
”Mmm. Naturally.”
”Instead, you know what I mean?
”Your mouth is strong.”
Gilmouth looks strangely anxious at Fran, who nods confidently.
”Huh. I'll really ask you. He's a nobleman. It's a lot of trouble if you piss me off.”
I'd like to ask you to spare us the trouble of getting into a nobleman's house. I'm not going to make fun of you for asking me.
”Oh, don't worry, they say you don't have to be able to collect the Viscount's belongings”
They think you gambled your arsenal and money. No, I'm close to that. Something tells me you owe more to Gilmouth.
I then asked Count Side not to pass on Fran's name. The great nobleman won't be interested in the names of those who have fallen behind. Just in case.
As a result, the commission included a bonus and a stopping fee, which also received 200,000 gold. Suddenly the holdings are double.
That's a noble request. The sense of money is going to go wrong.
