“Shun, Shiro. You still have a little time before the class, can you come with me for a minute?”
“Yes, it’s fine with me.”
“It’s okay with me too!”
“We’ll go with you.”
“Yes, it’s just too sad.”
The others who are staying with us in the inn decided to listen to the story together. We all moved to a private room. As everyone sat down, the guild master began to speak.
“This girl’s name is Sue, and she is the heir of a certain baronial family.”
“Nice to meet you all. My name is Sue, and I’m twelve.”
“I’m Shun.”
“I’m Shiro. This child is called Ao.”
We introduced ourselves to each other.
If I’m not mistaken, the baron is the lowest title among the nobles. The swordsman was the third son of a Count Family, so he treated Sue like a servant.
“This kid has special circumstances, so I was trying to get her away from those two idiots. That’s when they started causing trouble.”
“By everyone’s standards, those two are bad guys.”
Those two were not made as human beings. They must have been spoiled too much.
At this point, I caught sight of Sue-san’s face that was a little bit hidden by her magician hat. There were bruises on her face.
Grr. Moreover, a sound came from Sue-san’s stomach.
Maybe she hasn’t eaten anything?
“Guild Master, can I treat Sue-san?”
“Yes. A woman’s face is her most important feature. Make her pretty again.”
“Also, please eat this. I’m sure you’re hungry.”
“……Thank you.”
Before I did it, Ao began to heal the bruises on Sue-san’s face. Ao treats Sue-san carefully, so she may have bruises all over her body. In the meantime, Sue-san drinks the juice and eats the bread I offered her with tears streaming down her face.
“What we do know is that they assaulted Sue, took her money, and even made her sleep in the hallway without letting her into her room.”
“That’s horrible. For something that absurd to happen.…”
“No wonder she is so tired and dizzy.”
The guild master’s story also made the adventurers staying at the inn indignant.
Yes. It’s completely outrageous.
“I came to the Southern Frontier on the orders of a certain person, and then I was handed over to those two. I didn’t have the option of running away.”
After receiving treatment and eating, Sue-san’s expression has improved considerably.
She briefly told us a lot about her life experience. But with those imbeciles by her side, it is not going to be that easy to get away.
“Can Shun take care of her for a while? Those two are suspected of being violent towards the staff members of the inn so we need to hand them over to the soldiers. But with the privileges of the nobility, they can probably settle this with money.”
“I understand. I have my own feelings for those two, so I’d like to welcome Sue-san into the group.”
“I’m sorry for the trouble but please take care of me. Uhm, also, just call me Sue. Me being a noble does not really matter, I want you guys to see me as a member of the group.”
“I understand. Pleasure to work with you, Sue.”
“Sue-oneechan, nice to meet you!”
Of course, I have no intention of refusing, I decisively added Sue to the group.
Shiro and Ao are very happy to have new friend. Sue also talks to the others who are staying at the inn.
“But I did not really think they are violent as well. I thought they were drunk, so they acted up.”
“Unfortunately, in addition to being drunk, there is also property damage, so I guess that’s why they took the money from Sue. The money has already been given to the inn, so it may be difficult to get it back.”
They were dumber than I imagined.
The guild master also spoke in dismay.
They have only been in this city for a few days, and I can’t believe they already committed such a felony.
I want those two to stay behind the bars for a while.
