'I should change my plan about surprise attack to count and make my side'

He was bound to increase the defense at his estate after all my consecutive infiltrations, so I should definitely abandon the idea of using force Instead, I should really on

I headed back to Gartmar's city hall

”My good adventurer friend, we see quite often these days…”

The lued to the papers before him

”I heard that you've caught Pillgion, you've done well”

”Yes, but today I'm here to talk to you about count Sion”

”Hadn't I already informed you not to touch the count?”

”Yes well, I have my own problems to consider”

Contrary to his usual habit, he finally looked up at me

”You said your naht?”

”That's right”

He adjusted his monocle and spoke to me with a serious expression

”So what is the problem with count Sion”

”He is directly connected with Miriam Do you remember him?”

”Yes… of course I remember, you already told me all about it last time

”But it'sto revolt But I think we can turn him to our side”

”How sure are you? Is it even possible?”

”I have a strategy in place”

”Explain”

I proceed to inforht

”I'h I feel a bit bad that Sion has fallen to such a low place, to use my as your own shi+eld… ”

”Well I thought you would be able to help me since you are quite close with the count”

He stared at lint in his eyes

”What do you get out of all this?”

”Safety He's ai for my life, so if I can befriend him then that is for the best”

”Are you confident? You'll need to risk your life, afterall for nobles their honor is what's most important”

Theup to his current position as ruler of Gartmar which came with the title of marquis However in this world his kind of status couldn't be achieved alone, as he was only bu nobility, including count Sion If he were to now falsely accuse hi his position taken fro very popular with the people and it would be hard to re hi him

”I have already been putting my neck on the line here

The mayor's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile

”Wellyou can just decide one day in advance I'll get back to you in about three days time at the earliest”

”That's fine, I also need a bit of time on my end so it works out well”

Afterwith the h the mines monthly auction had already ended, there still remained some store which sold the minerals at a fixed price

”Lena, please research”

”Yes it seeh”

”Good”

I bought the necessary ores along with so iron pot which I had sent to the Mayor's office

By the ti

I still have two days tiets back to ured out my identity and sent soerous if they targeted me while I slept

'I guess there is always that place which is safe

Walking around the a market I stopped a fruit stand and plucked an apple After twirling it in the air a few ti bite out of it and walked away

”Hey you… you need to pay for that!”

I shed like a maniac

”Are you crazy!”

Puck

The owner of the store grabbed by the throat and punched me, but I continued to eat like a madman

”Guards, guards, take away this crazy beggar!”

I was then i me to have found a safe place to sleep The only unexpected variable was that the mayor came by to see me quite soon after

”A safe place huh… even so did you have to coainst one of my citizens?”

”Don't worry I'll go apologize and properly compensate him”

”You're definitely crazy”

”Yes I get that alot Also, please make sure they don't releasewith the count”

I sat down casually on oodbyes

'If it's here I don't think the count will be able to touch me'

I was separated from other criminals because they orried that I'd createmy Material Creation because it was all I could do in my private cell

Chulkung

Two days later I was finally released from prison My only fine was to pay double the price of the apple which was nothing but a slap on the wrist, everything was going as planned

”Mr mayor please improve your meal quality for the inmates”

”We have good hard working citizens starving on the streets and you want me to divert our funds to better feed those criminals, how absurd”

I tried to explain to hie ride to count Sion's manor, but he remained unconvinced

'Poor people run a serious risk of dying due to starvation I can certainly understand their plight as if it wasn't for Darryl I ht have suffered the same fate early on'

In a medievalesque type world there was no concept of welfare so for the very poorest in society life was like hell There were no huhts and life and you were occasionally better off as a slave It was a co as a human when compared to an undead

”We've arrived mayor”

”Yes thank you, and Johra don't forget to play your role as my servant”

”Yes~Sir”

I had already change into the proper outfit on our ride here In fact it was quite a step up froar clothes Still it did feel a bit out of place seeing as the size didn't fit ave the i his father's clothes

We were noaited the counts arrival in his guest room

”Make sure not to interruptJohra”

”Yup…”

The door opened and as the count cah he quickly regained his composure, I had definitely noticed

'Did he recognized my face?'
