V1C15 (2/2)

If you are going to ridicule robbers as the lowest then don’t join a band of thieves.

Also, so there are apples in this world as well. I want to eat something like an apple pie.

“The unauthorized sale of mud dumplings.”

“We didn’t know that you need to get authorisation from the Alchemy Guild to sell mud dumplings.”

“We sold them to children for 1 sense right. The shiny shiny dumplings.”

Hmm, I certainly also didn’t know that you need authorisation for that.

But you hardly hear about ideas to sell mud dumplings to children.

“Drawing graffiti on the walls.”

“It wasn’t graffiti! That’s my sign!”

“Jofre’s sign would absolutely become a future attraction for this town!”

Ah … I’m convinced.

In other words, these guys are …

“Aren’t they just idiots?”

“Yes …”

Norn replied with a sigh mingled in.

Well yeah, you would lose the desire to capture them. Listening to the charges, they were all merely on the reprimanding level.

Furthermore, they were also newcomers that became subordinate of thieves but did not even know the face of their boss.

“But I had never imagined that you 2 would become thief subordinates … For the time being, I believe they should spend a night in the lockup.”

Okay, I’ll leave that to her.

“For now, if you want to leave the lockup earlier, help to carry this man.”

“Understood, it’s fine until the Adventurers Guild right?”

“No, just until the labyrinth entrance guard station.”

“Okay. Let’s go, Elise!”

“Yes, Jofre.”

The 2 of them carried the still fainted bandit with vigor.

“Norn-san, you’re used to it huh.”

” … Yeah. Since I was assigned, their cases happen once every 3 days. Turning them into prisoners would be a waste of the taxpayer’s money, nobody would buy them even if we turn them into criminal slaves, and there are insufficient charges to deal capital punishment, so it’s a triple way dead-end. For the time being, we forced them to search the labyrinth to stabilize labyrinth but we didn’t imagine that they would become friends with the thieves.”

” … Thank you for your work.”

Then, with Jofre and Elise ahead, we finally exited the labyrinth.

There was a spear-wielding man waiting at the labyrinth entrance.

“Norn, you’re alright?”

“Yes, sorry, I was caught by the thieves and they saved me. This man is the thief boss.”

“Hn … Oh is that so! Hey! Carry this guy to the guard station! Come and help! By the way, what’s the deal with Jofreli?”

The man seems to be familiar with Jofre and Elise so he had already shortened their names together into Jofreli.

“It seems like they had hit it off with the thieves. For now, I believe we should drag them to the lockup.”

“I see, then leave that to us. Norn, you can return home, Margaret-san is worried. You can tell us the details tomorrow.”

Then, the man looked in my direction.

“You, thank you for helping Norn. I thank you on behalf of the vigilante group. If this man has a bounty, we will provide the payment. Tomorrow, please come to the Adventurers Guild.”

” … Well then, we will first stop by Margaret-san’s shop before returning to the Matthias-san.”

“No, Matthias-sama’s shop should be closed now so we can go back tomorrow.”

Ah, we will certainly be a nuisance if we go now.

I thought that he would be worried so I wanted to go to report but what she said was certainly true.

“Is that so … If that’s the case, then I’ll borrow a room at Margaret-san’s place.”

There should be available rooms.

Author’s Note:

I was anxious that it was too obvious that Jofre and Elise were thieves.

No, it was totally obvious.
