After riding on Amy’s horse, I became curious about various things, so I decided to ask Guel-san.

“Um, Guel-san.”

“Hmm? What’s up?”

“Why do you and Guel-san’s group go to the Comprehensive Guild?”

“Huh? Didn’t we talk about our purpose?”

“Um… yeah. I don’t think we did.”

Lizlina-san remembered.

“Oh, we didn’t talk about it. Our goal is to inspect the branch of the Comprehensive Guild.”

Inspection, huh? Wait a minute! It’s starting to smell fishy!

“If it’s just an inspection, couldn’t the subordinates go alone?”

The moment Guel-san heard my words, he furrowed his brow.

“This time, the situation arose where Duke-sama has to be present.”

Huh? What does that mean?

“The nobles here seem to be causing trouble for the Comprehensive Guild. Also, there might be suspicions of misconduct within the guild. That’s why the chairman of the Comprehensive Guild personally came out to investigate.”

“Eh, Amy-san, what do you mean? The chairman of the Comprehensive Guild, could it be…?”

“Duke Valdeck is the chairman of the Comprehensive Guild on this continent, in other words, he serves as the chairman of the Comprehensive Guild on the Relevant Continent. Elrina-san, didn’t you know?”

How could I know that on the first day of my reincarnation!? Besides, isn’t the chairman of the Comprehensive Guild a really important person!?

“W-Whaaat!?”

I couldn’t close my open mouth at Lizlina-san’s explanation.

“Well, we’ve arrived… huh?”

Huh!? Oh, it’s the Comprehensive Guild.

“Oh? It’s noisy inside. Is something happening?”

Are they in the middle of a fight? No, that’s weird. Because when I listen to the voices leaking out, it feels more tense than when I was outside. What’s going on…?

Feeling a chill down my spine, I turned around hastily, and the atmosphere around Guel-san and the others had changed completely.

“Duke Valdeck.”

Guel-san signaled something to the duke with his eyes.

“Well, Elrina-Chan, can I ask for your help?”

Huh, seriously!? Another troublesome matter? Reincarnation accident, gender transformation, and now, am I going to be put inside the smelly carriage of the duke again? How many times is it today…?

“If it’s okay with me, I’ll help.”

I said that, but seriously, I want to refuse!

“Thank you. Now, let’s go!”

For now, since ACE32 should avoid hitting civilians by penetrating the main culprit’s body, I stored ACE32 in the armory and quickly prepared, following Duke Valdeck. When we entered the Comprehensive Guild, the shouting and screaming inside were clearer than when I was outside. What I witnessed in the midst of that was a flashy man in expensive-looking clothes kicking a man on the floor, yelling something towards the counter.

“Do you understand, you guys!! If you don’t listen to what I say, you’ll end up like this guy!”

“Why are you doing this!? No matter how much of a lord you are in this city, this is already an unforgivable crime! I’ll issue an arrest warrant!”

The guild staff protested to the man, but the flashy man, with a detestable smile that made you want to shoot him with lead bullets right away, showed a blood-stained knife to the staff and started saying crazy things.

“Huh? What’s that~? What’s going on here~? Is this commoner questioning me, the lord? Well then, the guild master and that ****** guy over there are also decided for execution!”

Duke Valdeck’s voice echoed in the guild, but the flashy man, still facing the guild staff and now threatening a Comprehensive Guild employee with a knife, didn’t turn towards us.

“Why can you decide that? Judging criminals is not the job of a noble, is it?”

Duke Valdeck was saying that with an angry face, so he must be quite angry.

“Gigigigigi!? Huh? What are you talking about, old man? Are you stupid? I am the lord of this city! In other words! I am the law! Therefore, you guys have been sentenced to death for opposing me! Guild master, and you ****** guy over there!?”

Finally, the flashy man turned towards us, and just like he had poured ice water over his head, his face turned blue and he froze. Duke Valdeck didn’t pay any attention to that and spoke to him.

“So, you asked me if I wanted to be sentenced to death, but when do you plan to carry it out? Today? Or tomorrow?”

“Va, va va va va va va va…Duke Valdeck!?”

The flashy man is very flustered when he sees Duke Valdeck. Well, that’s interesting in its own way.

“Oh~ Have you become so important that you don’t need to attach ‘-sama’ to me anymore?”

“Y-Y-You’re lying! Why is Duke Valdeck here!? He shouldn’t be coming here… Damn it! Should have brought that guy too!!”

That’s right. Why didn’t this guy bring any guards? Is he stupid? We should ask that after catching him.

“Unfortunately, I had to come here for work. And to come to the Comprehensive Guild without bringing guards. Well, thanks to that, I saved a lot of trouble. Guel!”

“Yes!”

Guel-san took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it, starting to read it.

“Baron Grubert Langood! Due to suspicions of assault, murder, abuse of status, improper intervention in the Comprehensive Guild, embezzlement, and treason, you are arrested and will be interrogated, authorized by King Reedgarm, Zeon Dia Reedgarm, the King of Reedgarm! Here is the king’s signature and seal!!”

Once the reading was finished, he flaunted the paper in front of a man named Grubert, known for his frivolous demeanor. His attitude changed drastically from earlier, shaking his body.

“Ugh, lies! I haven’t done anything wrong! It’s these guys’ fault! It’s because they won’t approve my requests!!”

As Duke Baldek listened to Grubert’s childish excuses, his expression changed from anger to utter disbelief.

“Do you know the reason you can’t get your requests approved? Enough! Capture this man! If he resists, handle him as necessary! Permission has been granted!”

Guards, led by Guel and others, prepared their weapons to apprehend Grubert, but the foolish man resisted.

“Don’t move! What does it matter what happens to this guy!”

Panicking, Grubert brandished a knife at the fallen guild employee at his feet.

Watching this, Guel, still armed, addressed Grubert.

“Don’t make a scene now! Surrender quietly!”

Grubert, with a contorted face of anger, thrust the knife towards Guel and others, shouting.

“Annoying!! Can’t you commoners understand this!? Get out of my way! If you don’t let me through, I’ll use this knife on this commoner! [Paang! ?]… Huh?”

With that sound, the knife Grubert had thrust forward flew somewhere.

At first, Grubert didn’t understand what had happened. When he looked at his right hand, he twisted his face in pain, tears welling up.

This guy is truly foolish. If he wanted to escape, he shouldn’t have let go of the knife he was using to threaten with a hostage. Frankly, it was easy to shoot him.

“Scream! Is it painful? I don’t care. Point your hands behind your head and lie down slowly! If you don’t do as I say, I’ll shoot again!”

The man, in terror, grimaced, and after a “Hic!” he started speaking, tears and even sweat and mucus streaming down his face.

“I get it! I get it! I don’t want to die! Help me, I beg you!”

Grubert, following my instructions, was now lying down. I continued to aim my JERICHO 941 PSL at him.

“Guel-san!”

“Yes, Aide, secure him! Lizlina and Amy, tend to the guild staff!”

“Understood!”

“…”

“Aide, what are you doing? Hurry up and capture him!”

Aide, as if awakening, said, “Understood!” and approached the foolish man to restrain him.

“Bring him in front of me!”

Aide, after securing Grubert, brought him in front of Duke Valdek.

“After this, you will be interrogated and then face trial. Depending on the circumstances, you may receive a death sentence, but if you’re lucky, you might avoid it. However, you won’t escape serious charges. Do you have anything to say?”

“I-I didn’t do anything wrong! It’s Azu’s fault! It’s Leivis’ fault!”

“Are you still saying that at this point? Take this criminal away!”

Following Duke Valdek’s orders, Aid replied with a “Hic!” and took Grubert somewhere.

“Well, now it’s just investigating the damage to the guild. No, no, Elrina, thanks to you, we were able to catch him. Thank you.”

“N-no, don’t worry about it… Haa…”

Duke Valdek expressed his gratitude, but I was embarrassed and just looked down.
