Chapter 22: I don’t want such a global language

“No matter how I think about it, you are the role of evil magistrate” (Makoto)

I let out a deep sigh as I look at the shrunken Tomoe and the black clothed-san that has not regained consciousness.

Mio had gone to ‘clean’ the two people that Tomoe had done in.

Crossing my arms I look down on Tomoe, at my side there is someone sitting on a stool.

It’s a girl that I picked up while I was in my walk with Mio.

I will be clear, I haven’t brought a prostitute with me okay?

I am in a sense, accompanied by woman after all.

How to say it, we have perfectly gone the drama route-desu.

This girl probably has the role of ‘villager in problems’.

‘Let’s hear the details of your circumstances’ is what we said and we brought her all the way to our lodging but…

In there, there was a Tomoe with a face that was proud of herself.

‘I didn’t slaughter everyone-deshi ta zo, waka!’

Is what she said.

Of course, the villager was scared.

I brought her into the room and tried my best to calm her down.

When I hear the circumstances of Tomoe in detail.

It seems that from the 6 persons, she let 3 get away.

Well that is fine.

‘So you have captured 3 people’ is what I asked to confirm but.

“I killed 2. I captured 1 that is right there!” (Tomoe)

Is what she responded nonchalantly.

I had told Tomoe to ‘please spare me from slaughtering everyone and if anyone tries to escape capture them’

That’s what I said!

But then Tomoe said, ‘Well you see, the important part about not killing everyone, I didn’t understand the point completely-desu YO!’

She was blabbering something about the first one dying by accident and the other one dying was out of her expectations, but that is just out of question!

Wiping with the sword or that a kick send him dancing in the air and was left out of commission. It was probably a shock or something like that.

Like, ‘I was aiming for the weapon but I ended up cutting his whole body’ that kind of thing.

It’s not that excessive but, going ‘tee-hee’ is wrong with that kind of explanation!

What kind of slaughtering crime scene is that?!

I tried asking Mio if she could do something about it with her hunger, I mean, if she could handle the cleaning up and she said ‘I can’.

So I had her go right away to the crime scene.

Next, before explaining the situation to the villager that was fiercely gazing at Tomoe, I take the captive that was rendered powerless to the bed.

He had a slender body. I don’t understand the standards of this world anymore so if anyone told me this is a macho body I would just lift my hands and give up.

“Hey Tomoe, could it be that you kidnapped a woman?” (Makoto)

“Fukukuku!” (Tomoe)

What? Why are you laughing Tomoe-san?

“That’s what I thought you would say waka!” (Tomoe)

So what are you trying to tell me?!

“And this is what you want to say right?! ‘Tomoe, you are rea~lly an evil magistrate’” (Tomoe)

What is she saying with so much pride? Well, she did say what I wanted to say. To go through the trouble of specifically choosing a woman, that is what an evil magistrate would do.

“That one is a man-desu!” (Tomoe)

Her figure when she said that felt like it came with a sound effect of ‘*BLING!’

…

No.

Even.

If that is the case.

What of it?!

More like, before taking the weapon away you should have at least done a body check right?

Well she must have done it. She is so sure it’s a man after all.

“Ha~ I don’t really care about that but. This guy doesn’t hold any weapons right? Did you perform a body check?” (Makoto)

Even though I say bed, it’s not like we are putting on a blanket over him. We can see his whole body but…

Is this really a man?

It strange~ly looks womanly though. Especially in the waist part.

Um. Hey hey.

Tomoe~ please pay more attention.

In the waist holder I can see something that looks like an edged tool.

“So she didn’t do it huh. Geez. If you are to let him sleep in the room at least make sure to take care of all of the dangerous objects. How careless” (Makoto)

I take out the knife from the holder and confiscate it. Is it for throwing purposes? It didn’t seem to be made for the purpose of swinging it. Well it didn’t give me the impression that it was a weapon you would swing after getting your opponent lower their guard at the very least.

“I-I didn’t think you would bring a civilian here so if it’s just waka and me I thought it would be interesting and… well…” (Tomoe)

Tomoe goes ‘a wa wa’ and has a wry smile. You think of scary attractions.

“N… Ha~”

Otto. Turning in your sleep huh. This person is a deep sleeper.

*Buchi

“Wa?”

I heard the sound of cloth ripping off.

The chest area of captive-san began to expand.

Silence.

An excessive silence.

There were no words.

Tomoe-san looked dumbfounded at the captive and me, she began to shrink slowly and did a seiza.

It’s one of those types that wrap their chest with bands. And this person was doing exactly that. That’s not smooth.

It seems she tightened it pretty well and made it so it didn’t stand out.

If that wasn’t the case it wouldn’t go ‘*buchi’ after all.

“T-This must be some kind of conspiracy-desu zo! That’s right, there is no way such an ‘all sides closed’ can exist!” (Tomoe)

Her insistence is pitiful.

“You~ at least care for your master a little bit more. You do know which type is easier to interrogate right? Right?” (Makoto)
