Most of the people involved were taken away and the children were rescued. Nonetheless, the Margrave has not relented in his search of the place.
“There might be a hidden room here somewhere. We have to look into every nook and cranny.”
At this point, someone raised their hand to join in the search.
“Fufufu, if it’s a hidden room, Shiro and Ao will find it!”
“Mm, that’s promising. Then please show us how good a goblin hunter is.”
“Leave it to me!”
Shiro and Ao were talking cheerfully to the Margrave. The Margrave is also doing a good job of stirring up things with Shiro and Ao.
Shiro and Ao then walked into the building with the soldiers.
“Hey, I’m here to help too.”
“I’ll help too.”
“I’ll help out as well.”
“Is father hurt?”
And maybe because the restriction line has been lifted, the female adventurers and the daughter of the executive committee chairman also came over.
As expected from the daughters of the shop owners in the shopping district, they just casually entered the slave market.
They also started taking care of the children.
“Hmmm, no matter how I look at it, those humanists are involved.”
“I think so too. These children are all beastmen and rare species. I can only sigh at this madness.”
I talked to the Margrave, and he told me that there were about 30 children who had been rescued, all around five years old, either beastmen or rare species.
Like the angel child earlier, rare races were also included. No matter how I look at it, they are children who were clearly recruited for the illegal slave trade.
Then, Shiro, who was inside the mansion, brought an even rarer species.
“Shun-oniichan, we found all the hidden rooms. And I found this child.”
“Hoh-, you found an amazing child.”
“I can’t believe it. A dragoneut huh. Just how greedy are they really?”
Shiro is holding a dragoneut child. She had blue semi-long hair with horns, blue wings and a blue tail.
—The child seems to be dependent on Shiro who helped her, and she hugs her tightly, unwilling to let go. And Ao, who was riding on Shiro’s head, is stroking the head of the dragoneut child with her tentacles.
Ao already performed a healing spell on this child, but I still casted a healing spell and a life spell just in case.
“Shiro, have you found all the rooms?”
“Yes, I’ve found them all. There’s no one there anymore.”
“Alright, now it’s time to confiscate the documents. I’ll leave the rest to the soldiers.”
After listening to me and Shiro, the Margrave gave further instructions.
Just as I was wondering how we should transport the children, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the slave market.
Apparently, church clergymen who heard what happened here, immediately came over. Everyone present was annoyed by the church clergymen who were making a fuss, so their anger had been ignited once again.
The former Margrave approached the church officials.
“Oi, are you going to take these children with you? Who gave you the right!?”
“Shut up, you idiots! Don’t you think anything of illegal activities?”
“Hmph! Fools who disobey God. God will punish you!”
“Do you really think you can do anything using God’s name? Come, take these guys as well!”
“““Yes”””
“““L-Let go!”””
Wow, these guys are really stupid.
They only added to the anger of the former Margrave.
Looking closely at the church clergymen who are being detained, I can see that they are the trio who were making a fuss in the Adventurer’s Guild before.
Perhaps this will provide a clue to the church’s personnel structure.
