What he lacks in physical ability, he makes up for with his friends, and he uses his experience and wisdom as a merchant to approach things from unpredictable directions.
Poster's work is truly impressive, and he is undoubtedly a rare breed of adventurer.
He has little of the coyness of a merchant, but he is not rude.
He treats me not as a member of the Goshenite family, but as an individual named Lobito-Goshenite.
If my daughter, who has become a selfish and disappointing character, can have him as her son, it will have been worth raising her.
It may be a pity for him, but I'm sure he will be able to rehabilitate her well.
Is there something on your mind, Mr. Loebito?
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not going to give up on your daughter, but I was wondering if you might be interested in meeting her.
"It doesn't sound like you're planning to take away her escape route. Is there a problem with your daughter?
I've been acting as the Schneid's advisor and the backbone of the Goshenite family. I've acted as the advisor to the Schneid, the backbone of the Goshenite family, but seeing those who bow to me from an early age has made my daughter believe she has power.
The poster is very perceptive. If I make any kind of pretense, he can guess what I'm thinking or what I'm trying to say without making any mistake.
It would have been more solid if I could have included him in the plan, but I would have to be patient.
The Goshenites are the descendants of a royal family that once fought against the Demon King. The Goshenites are the end of a royal family that once fought against a demon king. The ancestors bite down on the humiliation of not being entrusted with the land by Yugra, and leave their thoughts to future generations.
This trend has continued even after the era when other powerful families forgot their royal pride and ridiculed the Goshenites for behaving elegantly as nobles.
Since I was a child, I was taught to sincerely hope for the restoration of the House of Goshenite.
But that is coming to an end in my generation.
My wife, a nobleman's daughter whom my parents provided to protect the integrity of my bloodline, was not of bad character, but she was not greedy.
As a wife, she was perfect, but she was not worthy to share the feelings of the Goshenites.
As for my daughter, who was raised by my wife, ...... no, I neglected to teach her because she was not born a man. There is no point in blaming my wife for this.
Just when it seemed that this would be the end, a final opportunity arose.
I guess it's the nature of being born a Goshenite. So I made my decision.
I would take the kingdom, become the new king, and make my own way in the life that was bound to House Goshenite.
There's more to them than the straight and narrow. I'm going to get my hands dirty.
That's why I don't want you, the poster, to be a part of this.
I want him to stay clean and join the Goshenite bloodline.
"Well, ......, that's a lot of work. But I'm sure that wouldn't have happened if Mr. Rovito had been paying attention to him.
You're right. You're right. I threw the responsibility of educating my daughter to my wife because she was not my son. I don't feel like being a father and lecturing her anymore.
The word "now" is an excuse for yourself! Mr. Loebito is still active. I'm sure your daughter is hoping you'll meet her head on!
Is that how it is?
I wasn't the eldest son either, so I had some rough times before I got to where I am now.
I see, so you can confidently say that because you have such a past.
I was indoctrinated relentlessly by my parents, and Poster-kun was not taken seriously by his parents.
Which one of us has a happier life?
No, it's too early to talk about life. I haven't accomplished anything yet.
I won't look back until I'm on the throne, or maybe even off it.
"If you say so, I'll believe you. I'll talk to my daughter alone next time.
Yes, I'd be happy to talk to your daughter while you're at it!
Hahahaha! I'd love to get to know you better! Well, let's have a drink today!
While I despise my daughter, I am now thinking to myself, 'If I had a son, I could have the same relationship with him as I have with you, Poster.
Will my daughter be able to treat my son the same way? No, I'm sure she can.
She can laugh so easily with someone who is not her blood relative. It will be okay.
When I woke up, I was on a cold stone floor.
I hurt all over. It's not just that I didn't sleep on the bed, there's bruising all over my body.
I sat up and checked my surroundings. I wonder if I'm in the prison of ...... Quama Castle.
...... Wait, wait, calmly recall yesterday.
I drank with Mr. Poster and left the tavern without ...... any memory of what happened after that.
The clothes are also very worn out. And this is ...... blood?
I can't remember, nothing. .......
Hey, is anyone there?
"What?
When I raised my voice, a soldier on guard came out of his post adjacent to the prison.
Quama's soldiers, no doubt this is Quama Castle.
Why am I here?
"Don't you remember anything? You were very drunk, so I guess it's understandable. ....... You got into a fight last night with someone you bumped into on the side of the road. Both of you were drunk, so it could happen. You're lucky no one died, but if the soldiers hadn't been on patrol in time, they would have beaten you to death.
"......
Look at the back of your hand. You can see that the skin is broken, and there are wounds and pains as if you had struck something with force many times.
I wonder if it was his blood that got on my clothes. ...... I hear he's not dead, but .......
What the hell am I doing at this critical time? .......
The other party has already been treated. I'm sure he's not going to be in jail for very long.
I'm sure my companion was by my side! What happened to him?
Yeah, a young guy, right? He was involved in a fight and he was knocked clean out. I was going to put him in jail just like you because he was involved in a fight. ...... I checked the young man's belongings and he turned out to be a trader from Taize. Now Quama doesn't want to get into trouble with the Taze. I'm going to leave him in the custody of a group of people who are on their way to Tarz and have him punished there.
"Oh no ......
The guards who were supposed to be by his side ...... left him at the tavern because he wanted to have a drink alone with the men.
He was already out of the Quama,......, what a mess. I never thought I'd get involved in this way.
I've got a letter for you. It's just a scribble.
What's he doing?
He hurriedly took the letter from the soldier and spread it out.
"Dear Mr. Loebito.
We've both been through a lot, haven't we?
But I can't thank you enough for shaking your fist at me when I was insulted by a drunkard who thought I looked weak.
I'm sorry to have to say goodbye like this, but I hope to visit Quama again after I've paid for my punishment at Tarz, so we can drink together again.
P.S. You'll make a good father. Take care of your daughter.
From the poster
...... Well, the young man has told us the details. He'll get a record, but it won't be too serious.
The soldier's words of encouragement fell on deaf ears. Well, I thought he was my son, and I was trying to honor him. .......
But this is no longer the case. ...... Or perhaps ...... this is also fate.
I'm not sure.
I'm sure Lobito will be fine now. I'm sure he'll be fine. I'm sure he'll be fine if we extend his detention for a little while, just in case things get hectic.
I am now very skeptical that you are one of us.
After Lobito's case was over, he took off his disguise and reported his progress to King Zenotta.
Incidentally, Lobito hadn't actually done anything.
He mixed a slow-acting sleeping potion with alcohol at the tavern and drank it with him.
Normally, I would have fallen asleep together with him, but most of the medicines in this world work on your own magic power. As usual, it doesn't affect you.
After leaving the tavern, the sleeping Lobito is secured in Duvraeori's "Lost Belly" that was waiting outside.
At that time, Duvraeori used his "blank-eyed back" to transform himself into Lobito. That's how he caused a series of disturbances.
Afterwards, Duvraeori was taken to the prison of Quama Castle in the form of Lobito, and Lobito was released in the prison.
He retreated with moderate wounds all over his body.
As for the pain, he said something about it being burned into his brain in "Lost Belly," but I'll ask him about the details next time.
The drunkard who was beaten up was also a disguise for the demons that Duvraeori had prepared in advance.
It would have been fine to use a drunkard, but if Duvraeori had been a man who could not control himself, Lobito would have become a murderer, so he arranged it.
Above all, I felt sorry for the drunk who was involved.
I would have been fine with that if it had been done thoroughly, but I could see no need to go that far.
The rumors were already spreading in Quama. You'll cause trouble just before the coup and ruin your reputation. Now, even if Lobito speaks up for his cause, the only people who will support it will be those in his faction.
The means we have used is to capture Lobito and the others for something other than overthrowing the state.
If a candidate is arrested during an election, it is unlikely that he or she will be supported by the people.
Unless you have a lot of charisma, you don't have it.
The important thing is to make their crimes known to the public in a big way.
That way, no matter how much they say about their cause, it will be difficult for them to be effective.
According to the information from the jail, Lobito will wait for justice quietly and without violence. It seems to have taken away his motivation as well. Scary, scary, scary. ......
"Lobito is not an evil man at heart, you know. If you stimulate his conscience in the right way and create a turning point in his life, the rest will flow in the right direction.
It's not so easy to convert someone who was trying to overthrow the country. ......
The ease with which Lobito handled the situation saved his life. If I had judged him to be a bit more stubborn, he would have been imprisoned as a murderer.
Lobito had a weakness that made him realize that taking a country was evil.
The fact that he didn't want me to get my hands dirty and didn't want me to join him shows that he still had that good nature.
That's true, too. ....... But it's not a good feeling to hold a citizen for a crime he didn't commit. ......
"If we were to arrest them for overthrowing the state, it would be death without question, and if we could wake them up with a misdemeanor, so much the better.
"Hmmm, what if this feeling of being seduced becomes addictive?
I think you'd look best with a bad face.
"Oh, yeah? ...... like this?
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to try.
I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea.
"And then there's Chenillas and Jestaff.
"Oh, yes. Are you going to start moving right away?
Cheneyas has already finished his preparations. By now, the Quama soldiers will have been alerted and will be enjoying themselves in Chenillas' compound.
"Reported? What the hell have you got in store for us?
"A report of shouts coming from the house of Chenillas Morganides.
...... What did you really plant?
"A few shabbily dressed boys.
What are you doing?
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be attracted to an old man's funny face, but it's a good face.
But I'm afraid I'll end up in jail if I don't, so I'll give away the story.
"Don't worry, it's a demon transformation. It was too much to carry in openly, so we put a demon in the private room that could sneak in through the crack. And then, when the soldiers come to search the house, you can transform into the specified form and have them find you.
...... What's it like, by the way?
We buy a kidnapped boy from the countryside and make him look like a hobbyist.
No, no, no, no, of course he denies it!
No, no, no, of course he would deny it! "Actually, Cheneyas-Morganides had that hobby. In fact, Cheneyas Morganides had such a hobby. He didn't actually buy the boy, but he bought the tools and indulged in his fantasies.
When I saw Chenillas-Morganides once, I had a slight impression that he had such a hobby.
So when Cheneyas was away, he had the demons sneak in and search the interior of his house, and they found a lot of nice tools.
So, I came up with this method in no time.
"No, but you know what, .......
"No, but you know, , all the tools have traces of Cheneyas's touch on them. "Who would believe a line like, 'I have a taste for that, but I never kidnapped a child! Who'd believe a line like that?
It's a good thing my hobby is knitting. ......
"Now if we can just get the demon that's turning into a child back under the guise of protection, we'll be fine.
And then, just to spread the word, a soldier in my command brought word that Chenillas Morganides had been captured.
He claims he doesn't know about the kid, but he's keeping quiet about the tools.
He said that the child was taken by a supporting soldier who caught up with him later.
Incidentally, that was Duvvleoli, and he seems to have recovered it safely.
If you tell a lie, the Yugoslav clergy will find out.
But wouldn't that also prove that you didn't lie when you said you didn't kidnap the child?
"Yes, so Cheneyas will not be charged after all. Cheneyas won't be charged after all, it's just that his hobby has come to light.
...... Oh, I see.
Even if he is innocent, if the scene of the crime is spread out in front of you, you have no choice but to detain him to check the situation.
And then it will become public knowledge. And with it, your hobby.
The demon prepared the shape-shifting child to make a bigger scene. It would have worked.
It'll ruin Cheneyas's reputation. We'll have to wait and see, but considering her character, she won't be able to walk the streets now that her shameful hobby has come to light.
Compared to Lorbito, she seems to be in a worse mental state.
"Cheneyas is the type of man who doesn't mind a little trouble. Cheneyas is the kind of man who doesn't mind a little trouble, but not so much when it comes to hiding things inside, which is why I've taken this step.
"How can you be so precise with your opponent's vital points? Now all that's left is Jestiff!
I took these measures because I could see the weaknesses of Lobito's conscience and Cheneyas' shame.
But without weaknesses, we would not be able to choose our methods.
Yes, just like Jestaff.
In fact, it seems that this Jestaff was working behind the scenes to create an opening for both of them so that it would be easier to investigate the identities of Lobito and Cheneyas.
What?
I had contact with Jestaff's right-hand man once. It's reasonable to assume that he didn't share that information with the other two, making it easier to target the other two.
"Are you saying that ...... Lobito and Cheneyas were in the way?
"A simultaneous coup d'etat in three countries would have reduced their resistance. I'm sure Lobito and Cheneyas would be willing to help Jestapo.
Then why do you do it?
Perhaps it's an obsession. If the reasons for the founding of the guild have been handed down from generation to generation, then Jestaff must have inherited a dislike for other guilds.
"Sick of ......?
I'm sure that the Heliodoras, who couldn't fit into the framework of the new country created by Seiya Yukura, still fought against it and founded the guild. The Heliodoras, who were not bound by the framework of a country and had no territory, would be the ones with the widest influence. The Heliodoras dreamed of this, and the guilds that came after them that interfered with their influence would not have made a good impression on them.
That's true. If the adventurers' guilds had been united, their influence would have been as strong as that of the Yugra cult.
And now, the contact by Raheit's gang has given us the opportunity to take the country. But there are other guilds involved as well. Jestiff must have been angry about that.
He would even use his enemies to do so. That's what Jestaff-Heliodoras are.
He is completely confined to his house and won't let me read most of the information to analyze it.
"But you can do something about it, can't you?
He has no weaknesses as a human being, and then there's the harddog.
The one with the detective magic. ......
It seems that because the house is being watched, they are periodically using detection magic that covers the entire house. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
The demons that can sneak in when there is a gap are usually of terrible means, but Harkdock's detection ability is like an independent security system that can prevent that.
I'm not sure what to do.
So, what do we do now?
"King Zenotta, honestly, with only one man left, can't we just let him stage a coup and put him down on his own?
It's not that I haven't prepared a move, but there's probably a risk of a fight or something happening if I use this move.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for before you buy. It's a bit of a challenge,.......
Stop looking at it while expecting to see my face. It's not that you can't afford to have that look on your face,......, but you can't help it.
You have to gather information until the last minute, and if you can find an effective way to get JaeStaff, you can use the method that was not used.
"Oh, you do? Then I'll just pretend I didn't know anything and wait for the good news!
"Unfortunately, King Zenotta will have to work a little harder.
I'm sorry, but King Zenotta will have to do some work. I can't give you a line I don't have in mind! You'll have to prepare a script for me, won't you?
I'm not giving a speech or anything.
Oh, yeah. ...... Oh, yeah. ......
A dejected King Zenotta. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it or not.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

"No, but you know, , all the tools have traces of Cheneyas's touch on them. "Who would believe a line like, 'I have a taste for that, but I never kidnapped a child! Who'd believe a line like that?
It's a good thing my hobby is knitting. ......
"Now if we can just get the demon that's turning into a child back under the guise of protection, we'll be fine.
And then, just to spread the word, a soldier in my command brought word that Chenillas Morganides had been captured.
He claims he doesn't know about the kid, but he's keeping quiet about the tools.
He said that the child was taken by a supporting soldier who caught up with him later.
Incidentally, that was Duvvleoli, and he seems to have recovered it safely.
If you tell a lie, the Yugoslav clergy will find out.
But wouldn't that also prove that you didn't lie when you said you didn't kidnap the child?
"Yes, so Cheneyas will not be charged after all. Cheneyas won't be charged after all, it's just that his hobby has come to light.
...... Oh, I see.
Even if he is innocent, if the scene of the crime is spread out in front of you, you have no choice but to detain him to check the situation.
And then it will become public knowledge. And with it, your hobby.
The demon prepared the shape-shifting child to make a bigger scene. It would have worked.
It'll ruin Cheneyas's reputation. We'll have to wait and see, but considering her character, she won't be able to walk the streets now that her shameful hobby has come to light.
Compared to Lorbito, she seems to be in a worse mental state.
"Cheneyas is the type of man who doesn't mind a little trouble. Cheneyas is the kind of man who doesn't mind a little trouble, but not so much when it comes to hiding things inside, which is why I've taken this step.
"How can you be so precise with your opponent's vital points? Now all that's left is Jestiff!
I took these measures because I could see the weaknesses of Lobito's conscience and Cheneyas' shame.
But without weaknesses, we would not be able to choose our methods.
Yes, just like Jestaff.
In fact, it seems that this Jestaff was working behind the scenes to create an opening for both of them so that it would be easier to investigate the identities of Lobito and Cheneyas.
What?
I had contact with Jestaff's right-hand man once. It's reasonable to assume that he didn't share that information with the other two, making it easier to target the other two.
"Are you saying that ...... Lobito and Cheneyas were in the way?
"A simultaneous coup d'etat in three countries would have reduced their resistance. I'm sure Lobito and Cheneyas would be willing to help Jestapo.
Then why do you do it?
Perhaps it's an obsession. If the reasons for the founding of the guild have been handed down from generation to generation, then Jestaff must have inherited a dislike for other guilds.
"Sick of ......?
I'm sure that the Heliodoras, who couldn't fit into the framework of the new country created by Seiya Yukura, still fought against it and founded the guild. The Heliodoras, who were not bound by the framework of a country and had no territory, would be the ones with the widest influence. The Heliodoras dreamed of this, and the guilds that came after them that interfered with their influence would not have made a good impression on them.
That's true. If the adventurers' guilds had been united, their influence would have been as strong as that of the Yugra cult.
And now, the contact by Raheit's gang has given us the opportunity to take the country. But there are other guilds involved as well. Jestiff must have been angry about that.
He would even use his enemies to do so. That's what Jestaff-Heliodoras are.
He is completely confined to his house and won't let me read most of the information to analyze it.
"But you can do something about it, can't you?
He has no weaknesses as a human being, and then there's the harddog.
The one with the detective magic. ......
It seems that because the house is being watched, they are periodically using detection magic that covers the entire house. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
The demons that can sneak in when there is a gap are usually of terrible means, but Harkdock's detection ability is like an independent security system that can prevent that.
I'm not sure what to do.
So, what do we do now?
"King Zenotta, honestly, with only one man left, can't we just let him stage a coup and put him down on his own?
It's not that I haven't prepared a move, but there's probably a risk of a fight or something happening if I use this move.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for before you buy. It's a bit of a challenge,.......
Stop looking at it while expecting to see my face. It's not that you can't afford to have that look on your face,......, but you can't help it.
You have to gather information until the last minute, and if you can find an effective way to get JaeStaff, you can use the method that was not used.
"Oh, you do? Then I'll just pretend I didn't know anything and wait for the good news!
"Unfortunately, King Zenotta will have to work a little harder.
I'm sorry, but King Zenotta will have to do some work. I can't give you a line I don't have in mind! You'll have to prepare a script for me, won't you?
I'm not giving a speech or anything.
Oh, yeah. ...... Oh, yeah. ......
A dejected King Zenotta. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it or not.
What he lacks in physical ability, he makes up for with his friends, and he uses his experience and wisdom as a merchant to approach things from unpredictable directions.Poster's work is truly impressive, and he is undoubtedly a rare breed of adventurer.He has little of the coyness of a merchant, but he is not rude.He treats me not as a member of the Goshenite family, but as an individual named Lobito-Goshenite.If my daughter, who has become a selfish and disappointing character, can have him as her son, it will have been worth raising her.It may be a pity for him, but I'm sure he will be able to rehabilitate her well.Is there something on your mind, Mr. Loebito?"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not going to give up on your daughter, but I was wondering if you might be interested in meeting her."It doesn't sound like you're planning to take away her escape route. Is there a problem with your daughter?I've been acting as the Schneid's advisor and the backbone of the Goshenite family. I've acted as the advisor to the Schneid, the backbone of the Goshenite family, but seeing those who bow to me from an early age has made my daughter believe she has power.The poster is very perceptive. If I make any kind of pretense, he can guess what I'm thinking or what I'm trying to say without making any mistake.It would have been more solid if I could have included him in the plan, but I would have to be patient.The Goshenites are the descendants of a royal family that once fought against the Demon King. The Goshenites are the end of a royal family that once fought against a demon king. The ancestors bite down on the humiliation of not being entrusted with the land by Yugra, and leave their thoughts to future generations.This trend has continued even after the era when other powerful families forgot their royal pride and ridiculed the Goshenites for behaving elegantly as nobles.Since I was a child, I was taught to sincerely hope for the restoration of the House of Goshenite.But that is coming to an end in my generation.My wife, a nobleman's daughter whom my parents provided to protect the integrity of my bloodline, was not of bad character, but she was not greedy.As a wife, she was perfect, but she was not worthy to share the feelings of the Goshenites.As for my daughter, who was raised by my wife, ...... no, I neglected to teach her because she was not born a man. There is no point in blaming my wife for this.Just when it seemed that this would be the end, a final opportunity arose.I guess it's the nature of being born a Goshenite. So I made my decision.I would take the kingdom, become the new king, and make my own way in the life that was bound to House Goshenite.There's more to them than the straight and narrow. I'm going to get my hands dirty.That's why I don't want you, the poster, to be a part of this.I want him to stay clean and join the Goshenite bloodline."Well, ......, that's a lot of work. But I'm sure that wouldn't have happened if Mr. Rovito had been paying attention to him.You're right. You're right. I threw the responsibility of educating my daughter to my wife because she was not my son. I don't feel like being a father and lecturing her anymore.The word "now" is an excuse for yourself!Mr. Loebito is still active. I'm sure your daughter is hoping you'll meet her head on!Is that how it is?I wasn't the eldest son either, so I had some rough times before I got to where I am now.I see, so you can confidently say that because you have such a past.I was indoctrinated relentlessly by my parents, and Poster-kun was not taken seriously by his parents.Which one of us has a happier life?No, it's too early to talk about life. I haven't accomplished anything yet.I won't look back until I'm on the throne, or maybe even off it."If you say so, I'll believe you. I'll talk to my daughter alone next time.Yes, I'd be happy to talk to your daughter while you're at it!Hahahaha!I'd love to get to know you better!Well, let's have a drink today!While I despise my daughter, I am now thinking to myself, 'If I had a son, I could have the same relationship with him as I have with you, Poster.Will my daughter be able to treat my son the same way? No, I'm sure she can.She can laugh so easily with someone who is not her blood relative. It will be okay.When I woke up, I was on a cold stone floor.I hurt all over. It's not just that I didn't sleep on the bed, there's bruising all over my body.I sat up and checked my surroundings. I wonder if I'm in the prison of ...... Quama Castle....... Wait, wait, calmly recall yesterday.I drank with Mr. Poster and left the tavern without ...... any memory of what happened after that.The clothes are also very worn out. And this is ...... blood?I can't remember, nothing. .......Hey, is anyone there?"What?When I raised my voice, a soldier on guard came out of his post adjacent to the prison.Quama's soldiers, no doubt this is Quama Castle.Why am I here?"Don't you remember anything?You were very drunk, so I guess it's understandable. ....... You got into a fight last night with someone you bumped into on the side of the road. Both of you were drunk, so it could happen. You're lucky no one died, but if the soldiers hadn't been on patrol in time, they would have beaten you to death."......Look at the back of your hand. You can see that the skin is broken, and there are wounds and pains as if you had struck something with force many times.I wonder if it was his blood that got on my clothes. ...... I hear he's not dead, but .......What the hell am I doing at this critical time? .......The other party has already been treated. I'm sure he's not going to be in jail for very long.I'm sure my companion was by my side!What happened to him?Yeah, a young guy, right?He was involved in a fight and he was knocked clean out. I was going to put him in jail just like you because he was involved in a fight. ...... I checked the young man's belongings and he turned out to be a trader from Taize. Now Quama doesn't want to get into trouble with the Taze. I'm going to leave him in the custody of a group of people who are on their way to Tarz and have him punished there."Oh no ......The guards who were supposed to be by his side ...... left him at the tavern because he wanted to have a drink alone with the men.He was already out of the Quama,......, what a mess. I never thought I'd get involved in this way.I've got a letter for you. It's just a scribble.What's he doing?He hurriedly took the letter from the soldier and spread it out."Dear Mr. Loebito.We've both been through a lot, haven't we?But I can't thank you enough for shaking your fist at me when I was insulted by a drunkard who thought I looked weak.I'm sorry to have to say goodbye like this, but I hope to visit Quama again after I've paid for my punishment at Tarz, so we can drink together again.P.S. You'll make a good father. Take care of your daughter.From the poster...... Well, the young man has told us the details. He'll get a record, but it won't be too serious.The soldier's words of encouragement fell on deaf ears. Well, I thought he was my son, and I was trying to honor him. .......But this is no longer the case. ...... Or perhaps ...... this is also fate.I'm not sure.I'm sure Lobito will be fine now. I'm sure he'll be fine. I'm sure he'll be fine if we extend his detention for a little while, just in case things get hectic.I am now very skeptical that you are one of us.After Lobito's case was over, he took off his disguise and reported his progress to King Zenotta.Incidentally, Lobito hadn't actually done anything.He mixed a slow-acting sleeping potion with alcohol at the tavern and drank it with him.Normally, I would have fallen asleep together with him, but most of the medicines in this world work on your own magic power. As usual, it doesn't affect you.After leaving the tavern, the sleeping Lobito is secured in Duvraeori's "Lost Belly" that was waiting outside.At that time, Duvraeori used his "blank-eyed back" to transform himself into Lobito. That's how he caused a series of disturbances.Afterwards, Duvraeori was taken to the prison of Quama Castle in the form of Lobito, and Lobito was released in the prison.He retreated with moderate wounds all over his body.As for the pain, he said something about it being burned into his brain in "Lost Belly," but I'll ask him about the details next time.The drunkard who was beaten up was also a disguise for the demons that Duvraeori had prepared in advance.It would have been fine to use a drunkard, but if Duvraeori had been a man who could not control himself, Lobito would have become a murderer, so he arranged it.Above all, I felt sorry for the drunk who was involved.I would have been fine with that if it had been done thoroughly, but I could see no need to go that far.The rumors were already spreading in Quama. You'll cause trouble just before the coup and ruin your reputation. Now, even if Lobito speaks up for his cause, the only people who will support it will be those in his faction.The means we have used is to capture Lobito and the others for something other than overthrowing the state.If a candidate is arrested during an election, it is unlikely that he or she will be supported by the people.Unless you have a lot of charisma, you don't have it.The important thing is to make their crimes known to the public in a big way.That way, no matter how much they say about their cause, it will be difficult for them to be effective.According to the information from the jail, Lobito will wait for justice quietly and without violence. It seems to have taken away his motivation as well. Scary, scary, scary. ......"Lobito is not an evil man at heart, you know. If you stimulate his conscience in the right way and create a turning point in his life, the rest will flow in the right direction.It's not so easy to convert someone who was trying to overthrow the country. ......The ease with which Lobito handled the situation saved his life. If I had judged him to be a bit more stubborn, he would have been imprisoned as a murderer.Lobito had a weakness that made him realize that taking a country was evil.The fact that he didn't want me to get my hands dirty and didn't want me to join him shows that he still had that good nature.That's true, too. ....... But it's not a good feeling to hold a citizen for a crime he didn't commit. ......"If we were to arrest them for overthrowing the state, it would be death without question, and if we could wake them up with a misdemeanor, so much the better."Hmmm, what if this feeling of being seduced becomes addictive?I think you'd look best with a bad face."Oh, yeah?...... like this?I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to try.I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea."And then there's Chenillas and Jestaff."Oh, yes. Are you going to start moving right away?Cheneyas has already finished his preparations. By now, the Quama soldiers will have been alerted and will be enjoying themselves in Chenillas' compound."Reported?What the hell have you got in store for us?"A report of shouts coming from the house of Chenillas Morganides....... What did you really plant?"A few shabbily dressed boys.What are you doing?I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be attracted to an old man's funny face, but it's a good face.But I'm afraid I'll end up in jail if I don't, so I'll give away the story."Don't worry, it's a demon transformation. It was too much to carry in openly, so we put a demon in the private room that could sneak in through the crack. And then, when the soldiers come to search the house, you can transform into the specified form and have them find you....... What's it like, by the way?We buy a kidnapped boy from the countryside and make him look like a hobbyist.No, no, no, no, of course he denies it!No, no, no, of course he would deny it! "Actually, Cheneyas-Morganides had that hobby. In fact, Cheneyas Morganides had such a hobby. He didn't actually buy the boy, but he bought the tools and indulged in his fantasies.When I saw Chenillas-Morganides once, I had a slight impression that he had such a hobby.So when Cheneyas was away, he had the demons sneak in and search the interior of his house, and they found a lot of nice tools.So, I came up with this method in no time."No, but you know what, ......."No, but you know, , all the tools have traces of Cheneyas's touch on them. "Who would believe a line like, 'I have a taste for that, but I never kidnapped a child! Who'd believe a line like that?It's a good thing my hobby is knitting. ......"Now if we can just get the demon that's turning into a child back under the guise of protection, we'll be fine.And then, just to spread the word, a soldier in my command brought word that Chenillas Morganides had been captured.He claims he doesn't know about the kid, but he's keeping quiet about the tools.He said that the child was taken by a supporting soldier who caught up with him later.Incidentally, that was Duvvleoli, and he seems to have recovered it safely.If you tell a lie, the Yugoslav clergy will find out.But wouldn't that also prove that you didn't lie when you said you didn't kidnap the child?"Yes, so Cheneyas will not be charged after all.

Oh, I see.Even if he is innocent, if the scene of the crime is spread out in front of you, you have no choice but to detain him to check the situation.And then it will become public knowledge.
