470 468 The whereabouts of sin and punishment (1/2)

It's been two days since that fierce battle.

It was still a king's capital that could not be said to have settled, but it seems that there are no more Marquis's hands left. At least, even the organization had no one to resist.

But it's not like there's no dispute. Places to live, daily meals, medicines. Everything is lacking. There was no way this wouldn't bother me.

Particularly serious is the living space. A tent was erected on a makeshift basis for people who lost their homes, but that number was not enough. One of the major causes was the occupation of one tent by the nobility in small numbers. As far as I'm concerned, I thought I'd shove you into the same tent, but they don't either.

Well, I can understand the story that if you push civilians and nobles into the same place, it's rather torture for civilians. It would be better if I just got a blanket and slept on the side of the road.

But if nobles don't make a difference by title, they're going to have to do with the issue of Fujiko. And nobility seems to be a creature more obsessed with mentes than adventurers. It is unacceptable to treat the Count and the Baron the same way. They can't scorn it because it's an emergency.

In the end, many of the civilians managed to get out of the tent by relying on an acquaintance's house or something early...... It's the end of the day when some stupid aristocrats get a kettle on the tent that they've given way to and tell them if they can stay in a place like this.

Some nobles, wearing power on their kasas, tried to conjure up houses from the civilian population, and there were skirmishes. While the gulf between civilians and nobles deepens.

And besides that, intense dust haunted the people. They dance up in the wind from the wasteland of former aristocratic neighborhoods and fly. I was very pleased when I stretched the wind junction to prevent it into shelters and such.

Well, as for the shortage of supplies, support should be sent from all over the place, which would alleviate it somewhat. Looks like food support and additional guards have already arrived from neighboring towns and other places. From now on, supplies and manpower will be sent from all over the country.

Adventurers and soldiers are hunted out for rubble removal and so on within the Wang Dynasty, and the knights are also striving to maintain law and order.

They say the royal family was safe, too, and they're running errands in a separate residence of nobility in a residential area. Often in comics and such, ”The King has a responsibility to protect his subordinates! There's a king who says,” or stays in the royal castle on the verge of falling, ”but that's a fool unless you're a beast king-like strongman. Whatever you think, it's better for the country and the people to flee and quickly take command of the reconstruction that follows.

”You kept me waiting.”

”Fine.”

”Oh.”

We were currently visiting under the Earl of Baileys. That said, the Count's mansion has vanished. He stood at the corner of the Knights' jar.

I thought they would dismiss me, but they haven't shaken me down yet due to an emergency. That's where Fran and Falund were called.

”So, what can I do for you?

”Oh, I was just going to tell you about the upside of this one. Thank you so much for your help.”

I have already told the Count the story that Bermelia is actually alive and that Earthlers took her. His mourning was loud, but he understands it was more than dead. I didn't mean to chase him.

Only Frederick, a semievil dragon man, had disappeared shortly after he heard the story. I guess his loyalty was directed more toward Bermelia than toward the Count.

”Where did you start talking... Lord Garth, I don't blame you for this, do I? We'll have escorts and surveillance for a while.”

”Really?”

”Oh. I settled on him for being manipulated, in the form that there was no sin. Well, in the midst of all this confusion, we can't do a futile imitation that punishes him.”

”What do you mean?

”His Majesty the King is the one who gives priority to the interests of the nation, for better or worse. Now that you have been wounded by the power and authority of the country and both sides, you will never have seen any more damage.”

Well, there is the Kingdom of Reids to the north, and this time there is no longer any guarantee that the nobles in the country will never betray us. In this state, you would want to avoid further erosion of national power. But what does that have to do with Garth?

”They say you're the closest thing to a divine blacksmith, and this time you're actually a blacksmith who touched a divine sword, right? It would be more beneficial to make sin unquestionable and let it work for the country. Plus, it goes hand in hand with the Adventurer Alliance.”

Fran is tilting his neck, but Fallnd seems to have come pin by pin with those words.

”Thanks.”

”Exactly. There are so many adventurers in the country who are grateful to Lord Garth. If you're guilty, many adventurers won't find it interesting”

Even Alessa, where we met Garth, did, but Garth was selling his work cheaply to the adventurers as they toured within the Kranzel kingdom. If you think it's promising, even the adventurers in the lower ranks said they were doing it with all the good gear.

Within the Kranzel Kingdom, many adventurers say they were taken care of by Garth when he ran out, and a significant number of adventurers are grateful.
