Chapter 122 the hostage incident (2/2)

“No, there is no sign of battle… But it seems certain that something happened.”

“That’s right. I’m going to meet Garma for a moment to figure out what’s going on. Shia follows me. Liz, just in case, lend “Koffer” to Shia. Snow wait in the room, and if there’s a problem, move on.”

When I heard the wives’ reply, I headed to the room’s door. Liz handed a ‘Koffer’ containing an ‘MP5K’ to Shia and left the room following me.

We went to the Chrysanthemum Knights Counselor’s Office.

After knocking, I entered the counselor’s office, Garma and Commander Lucca were talking about something serious.

When Garma noticed that Shea held a briefcase behind me, he made a candid face. Lucca looked like she was looking at filth.

“Oh, Lute dono. Even if my room isn’t well ventilated. If you break it badly, I won’t have a billing address and I will have to live under the blue-sky advisor’s room.”

It was pointed out by Garma with a half-joke and a half-serious tone. Hey, isn’t it like saying that we are trigger happy? For the time being, I responded with a joke.

“It’s just a briefcase that she has rest assured. Did something happen, or everyone seems to be moving fast? Did the armored dude attack?”

“I’m sorry to make a fuss. It’s not that the armored guy attacked.”

Garma stroked his head saying, “How can I explain it?”

“In fact, a man in the city has taken several landlord’s women as hostages, and his request is: “Bring the Magician Killer in front of me, or I’ll kill the hostages!”

“That’s very troublesome. What did the armored dude do to that bastard?”

“From the testimony of his acquaintance who is in jail now, apparently the armored dude killed the adventurer’s fellow magician who had been a lover, and the body was also taken away. It seemed that he had searched the armored dude for revenge, and he had come here at the end … ”

Garma tapped his fingertips in his head. Does this mean the head?

“That’s why the Chrysanthemum knights come to talk. Now we are preparing for a solution.”

I see, so everyone was upset and noisy with preparations? I asked unintentionally.

“So how are we going to solve the case?”

“–I’m sorry, your quest is” Defeating the Magician Killer”. This time is not included in the work content. I don’t want the outsider to think I’m talking too much.”

The commander, Lucca, who had been silent until now, glared at me and said firmly. But I won’t back down. As long as I understand the situation, I can’t afford to watch and do nothing.

“Surely, the quest is “Cooperation for defeating the Magician Killer”, but now human life is at stake. Peacemaker would like to cooperate beyond such limit. I don’t want additional rewards for helping either.”

“Commander Lucca, what Lute said is right, our priority is that the hostages are safe. In fact, we have no choice but to rush into the building and forcibly seize the criminal. In that case, the culprit surely will be killed. But if peacemaker helps, it could be solved without a single death. it’s better if we work together beyond the legion’s boundaries … Isn’t that right? ”

“Counselor Garma! Which side are you on? It’s the Chrysanthemum knights who protect this city! If we borrow the help of other Legions, the citizens’ fingers, who are paying the blood tax, will be pointed at us!”

“If that’s the case, let’s make a compromise Peacemaker will cooperate, but they will set under the direction of the Chrysanthemum knights, won’t the face keep up?”

“… Commander Lucca, I think this is the place to fall.”

“… That’s okay. But if something goes wrong with this issue, However, if there is a problem with this case, we will not allow peacemaker to intervene in our jurisdiction in the future. I’ll leave you at headquarters!”

Lucca withdraws with conditions for my concession and Garma’s support. She turned away from us and left the room with a rough gait.

Garma was uncomfortably scratching his head and looking at me.

“So, Lute don, what will we do? As I said earlier, we have no choice but to forcibly rush and catch up with the criminal…”

“Okay, I have my own thoughts, but I don’t have enough manpower to do it.

“I understand. I’ll accompany you to the scene together and tell everyone on the way.”

“Thank you. There is no time, so let’s head to the scene right now. First, it is a top priority to grasp the current situation. We’ll get ready as soon as we can. Excuse me.”

I thanked Garma and left the room.
