Chapter 67

Mile Chapter 67: Strategy

The first night of the journey to Talesu on the carriage .

The girls had done meetings to a certain extent, but since Teresa and Yuan joined, they need to confirm again about their plan .

The place is in a simple tent that Mile pulls out from storage, as usual .

For caution, Mile used magic for soundproofing .

“… That’s why we have to finalize his crime first, because we still don’t know if those men are telling the truth or not .

And even if those men speak the truth, still It will take a lot of time to confirm everything”

With Mile’s explanation, Rena was quite upset because we all knew that he’s a bad guy, but she was convinced because they still need evidence .

The same was said at the last meeting, but in the end Rena agreed .

Besides, it will take a lot of time and effort to confirm the facts of the request .

Regardless of the case of an past robbery, it’s obvious that he hired those C rank hunters .

It is a sufficient criminal act with kidnappings and killings the king’s citizens, so if we can confirm it, there’s nothing wrong with conviction .

Of course, they also ask the authorities to torture and ask about the past criminal .

Teresa originally didn’t intend to help or stop the girls’ action . But she still keeps listening to the plan so she can be a witness later, and Yuan never opposed it because he also thought that a careful investigation in advance was necessary .

And on the evening of the fourth day, after departing from the kingdom, the horse-drawn carriage arrived to the hometown of Pauline, a town where she grew up, the town where Beckett’ company located .

Even though it isn’t as big as capital city, it is one of the biggest cities in the kingdom’s territory .

“Well, for the time being we should find an inn . ” (Rena)

As usual Rena was the one decided everything, and after a while, we reached the inn .

The inn is recommended by Pauline

“A guest house isn’t good, we should stay in a shady one . One quadruple room and two single rooms . As a matter of course, Yuan-san will get a separate room, Teresa-san will also take a separate room . Because we will not be able to talk if Teresa-san is there . ” (Pauline)

“One quadruple room, two single rooms, do you have free rooms?” (Rena)

Rena asked the receptionist so, the man opened his eyes as if he were a little surprised .

This inn isn’t an inn that young women want to stay .

However because it’s cheap, even a slightly staggering will be okay, customers will not notice it and can stay normally, sometimes female customers will come .

But what the man was surprised with was the appearance of a girl behind Rena .

Short black hair overflowing from the covered hood . And two eyes looking through the gap of the bandage wrapped in her face .

Even for a receptionist who is accustomed with shady customers, this girl was scattered an odor that rarely seen . Probably this girl is the strangest customer of this month . .

However, the man is also a receptionist . Even he is surprised, he still answered calmly .

“It’s okay, how many nights will you stay?” (Receptionist)

“Undecided, I will tell you the day before we leave . ” (Rena)

Rena said so, confirmed the accommodation fee, meals etc, and received the key .

That dubious girl with black hair is, of course, Pauline .

Her hair had been dyed with dyed powder before getting on the carriage, but the bandage are after they leave the carriage in the city .

Pauline wasn’t tying the bangage before getting on the carriage because it wasn’t good to draw attention from other passengers while traveling, and also Pauline couldn’t bear shame . (T . N: And I thought Pauline was a Chuuni)

The hair color could be solve if she dyed it . If she use dyed powder, her hair will be damaged, but either Pauline or Mile can fix it with healing magic . They can also erase the dyed powder with clean magic to remove the color .

The four girls went into the room quickly and took a break until dinner time .

If you are riding a horse-drawn carriage, you get strong vibrations, painful buttocks, and both physical, mental tired .

Yuan seemed to be taking a rest in his own room . Teresa put the luggage in the room and went out to report with the guild .

***

The next morning, we all went out after breakfast .

Because it is conspicuous that the six people move in together, we divided the team into three .

Because today is only information gathering, if we divide our members, we will gather more information .

First, Maevis and Yuan . We knew that Yuan could not approve to part with other people .

Next, Rena and Teresa .

Last, Mile and Pauline .

It’s unlikely that anyone other than Pauline will be in danger, now that no action has yet taken place .

So, Rena and Maevis decided to attach Mile, which is the most powerful person among the four, to Pauline .

Teresa seems like wanted to go with Mile, but she has not put in to words .

Besides, Teresa plays a minimum role as a party member and doesn’t intend to participate in the dispute . Teresa was chosen for this role only because she had appearance close to the four girls of 『Red Oath』 .

Beside, there will be a problem with pairing with Pauline, which is most likely to be disputed . So Teresaand Rena, Mile and Pauline, we could not think of anything other than these combinations .

The three teams diverged and headed to the place according to their search purpose .

Rena go to the guild with Teresa . Maevis and Yuan went to the area where many stores gathered .

And Mile went ent down to the residential area with Pauline who had disguised as much as possible by wrapping the banded face and cover by hood .

***

And that evening .

After finishing each survey and returning to the inn, they got together into a quadruple room after having dinner .

“Well, I will put together the information that everyone gathered” (Rena)

As always, Rena is the one who start again .

“First of all, we have information from the guild .

It seems that the five C rank hunters occasionally hired by Beckett, and they haven’t been seen for about ten days .

They were hired frequently when he need illegal work, not through the guild .

From their names and appearances, they must be those people that attack us .

Also, apart from that, he seems to hire other people without hunter qualifications .

And this time he also hire an expert hunter for personal escort . ” (Rena)

“People in the shopping area is almost the same for the last six months . As usual, even if Beckett use brute force for business and crime and no matter what he does, he won’t get caught .

And it seems that the victims are always punished by the constitutional authority for some reason .

It seems that there are many shops and people feel disgusted with the inconvenience from Beckett .

My third Ani-sama heard it from the female clerks” (Maevis)

With Maevis’ report, Yuan makes a proud face . And four girls other than Maevis draw to the fact that Yuan’s info is limited to female .

“The testimony of the captured men in the capital seems to have not changed . If anything happen, the guild master should inform us immediately .

It is already seven days since we left, and if they use horseracing, the mesage can arried in one day and a half from the kingdom’ capital .

Theose men probably be sent directly to the royal palace’ torture room, I don’t think they can bear the much interrogate . ” (Teresa)

Teresa’s explanation is decisive, it seems like we can be sure about Beckett’ crime .

Initially, Mile afraid that Beckett can pretend like he doesn’t know those hunters that undertakes illegal work to avoid crime . But it looks like a miscast .

It is different from the modern earth judicial system, so circumstantial evidence alone is sufficient . Mile thought so .

And Mile suggested that the four of them will come to revenge and kill Beckett but everyone reject it . Because it’s useless to just defeat the bad guys with the assassination . We must do it without collapsing the shop and so both Pauline, her mother and brother can properly get back to the shops .

And the 『Red Oath』 squeezed their wisdom .

***

The next day, when the second bell of the morning (morning 9 o’clock) echoed in the town .

There are four people in front of Beckett’s newly opened store .

They are four girls . And the smallest among them, a girl from about eleven to twelve years old, took out something like a cymbal from no-where .

Ja~n! (SFX)

Suddenly, the surrounding people stopped and focused on the girls with a loud sound that was unfamiliar to them .

Ja~n! Ja~n! Ja~n! (SFX)

After a further sound, the girl shouted loudly .

“This girl is a victim ~de gozaru, and today she come for revenge ~de gozaru

『Chichioya』was killed, the shop left by 『Chichioya』 was robbed, 『Hahaoya』was forced to married her husband killer ~de gozaru!

Everyone (皆々様: Minaminasama), please don’t get in the way, and please becareful that you won’t get hit by magic!” (Mile)

It was a revenge battle in the morning .

People’ eyes are shining .

This is a world with less amusement .

This seems an interesting thing that they are unlikely to see again for many years .

Besides, the protagonists are pretty girls, enemies are unscrupulous bad deeds merchants that everyone feels disgusted .

They don’t even need to confirm that which one is right and which one is wrong .

People began to gather and the Beckett’s shop were filled with a large crowd .

And Rena muttered .

“What is『De~ gozaru』?”
