Chapter 60

「Yeah. Gilliam-dono, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting」

「No. I didn’t know that Count-sama and Tak.u.mi-san were acquintances」

「It’s our first time meeting, but Tak.u.mi-san is an important guest of our family. Ah, which reminds me, it appears there was some kind of a problem yesterday at the guild, wasn’t there? Is the reason that the guild master didn’t come today because he was busy dealing with that?」

「「……」」

The sub master’s――Gilliam-san’s complexion instantly turned pale.

Nevertheless, Cedric-san. Why do you know about that matter? It happened just yesterday, you know?

I thought I was being tailed for a moment there. But, if that were the case, both the children and I would notice.

That means, his intelligence gathering is awfully excellent.

「I won’t say anything because Tak.u.mi-san compromised, but I hope that such thing won’t happen in the future」

「Y, yes. Of course! Severely, I will hold it in my heart!」

「If you, the sub master says so, I feel relieved」

Cedric-san, thank you very much.

It appears he gave the guild warning for our sake.

At any rate…… Cedric is talking with the usual smile, but it brought up the fire from the atmosphere.

Hence Gilliam-san nodded with a great vigor.

「「Ah」」

「Allen, Elena. Pointing fingers at people is rude」

「「Ye~s」」

At that time, Allen and Elena who were quiet all the time suddenly let out voices and pointed at Cedric-san. I stopped their gesture in a hurry.

「So, what happened?」

「「Alike~」」

N? Alike?

「Said it’s alright~ to kick」

「Knight Onii~chan」

「「「……」」」

Ah~ that time…… In the Gaya Forest with the Knights Order, Isaac-san said to Allen and Elena that it’s alright to kick Wald-sama……

I also find the smile of Isaac-san at that time exactly the same as Cedric-san’s, but…… however, do I hear a different meaning when the to say it……

「Umm…… by alike you mean Isaac-san, right? Has my little brother grew to like being kicked around by children in the time I have not seen him, I wonder……」

「You are wrong, it’s different! The target on the receiving end of the kick was different!」

See~ Cedric-san had a weird misunderstanding~

I must resolve the misunderstanding to protect Isaac-san’s honor! Ah~ while that may be true, I can’t possibly say that the target of the kicking as Wald-sama……

It seems difficult to explain while not saying the concrete thing.

I somehow managed to solve the misunderstanding, and we talked about the “Ripples” dungeon.

The contents were about the details I found in the dungeon, and the investigation of the people Cedric-san and the guild dispatched.

「Haa~ To discover a dungeon in my fief~ I’m grateful to you, Tak.u.mi-san」

「That so, isn’t it? People are going to gather in our town from now on」

Speaking frankly, a dungeon is a vein of gold.

When the information of a new dungeon gets out, adventurers will start gathering around. Those adventurers will bring back the dropped items from the dungeon and sell them at the Adventurer’s Guild.

Merchants will gather for those dropped items and trade with the Adventurer’s Guild.

When people gather, the inns and restaurants will flourish.

Since the economy moves in various places and taxes are paid, the financial affairs of the fief prosper as a result.

It was really a coincidence that I have caused a dungeon fuss in the Risner territory, but I think it would be good if it returned the favor that I owe to the Risner house at least a little.

Well, I think that problems will arise with the sudden increase of people, but I can only wish them to do their best.

Oh yeah, there is a total of four dungeons kept under control in Guardia. It appears that the “Ripples” we have discovered is going to be the fifth one.
