As the noisy church clergymen were being shoved around by the soldiers, several carriages arrived. They were the carriages prepared by the Margrave to carry the children.
“Alright, let’s ride in this carriage together.”
The wife of the former Margrave takes the children into a carriage with her attendant. The carriage is large, so the children can ride it at the same time. The children were a little surprised, but they obediently got on the carriage.
“Very well, we’ll go back to our shop too.”
“I’ll let the innkeeper know that you guys might be late.”
“I’ll also tell them that you guys might be staying at the Margrave’s place.”
“Yeah, sorry for that. Thank you in advance.”
The female adventurers and the shop owners of the shopping street could not leave the shop for a long time, so they went back to their respective stores.
The female adventurers also volunteered to inform the inn. By the way, the chairman of the executive committee also returned to his store, so the discussion with the Margrave was decided to be done by me and Sue.
“U-uuh.”
“She’s been holding on to you so tightly.”
“It can’t be helped I guess. I’m sure this kid must have been lonely because she was isolated from other children until now.”
The little dragoneut girl that Shiro rescued clung to her tightly and wouldn’t let go.
Well, there’s also the matter of the church, and I think it’s better for Sue and I to talk it over. So like this, we were allowed to ride in the carriage ridden by the former Margrave and his wife.
“I can’t help but feel sorry for such a small child who was isolated.”
“Dragoneuts are a particularly rare species. I guess she must have been a valuable commodity for them.”
Sitting next to Shiro, the wife of the former Margrave occasionally strokes the head of the dragoneut girl who is hugging Shiro.
The previous Margrave also seemed to be in deep thought as he looks at the dragoneut girl. He must have some thoughts about the Muhou Trading Company that treated children as commodities.
Both Sue and I were outraged by this incident. If we hadn’t come across the scene of the angel girl being assaulted, we might have missed this despicable crime.
“Zzz, zz.”
“She fell asleep.”
“Yeah. She probably haven’t had any proper sleep.”
By the time the carriage approached the mansion, the dragoneut girl is still fast asleep in Shiro’s arms but her hand is gripping Shiro’s shirt. As she was probably mentally exhausted, we decided to let her sleep like that.
Then, the carriage arrived at the mansion.
The children were brought inside the mansion one by one and gathered in a large room. Shiro walks into a large room with the dragoneut girl in her arms.
Here, the children were asked some basic questions like names and family and the butler made a list. The butler is busily moving around, listening to the children.
Leaving the dragon girl’s affairs to Shiro, me, Sue, and Ao headed to the waiting room.
