Walking, Chapter 98: Protecting the children

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.

Walking, Chapter 97: Children protected and church clergymen were captured

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.

Walking, Chapter 96: Arrival of reinforcements

The latest arrivals to the slave market were the Margrave and his men. The Marquis, fully dressed in armor and fully equipped, walked up to the children’s side.

“Mother and Shun, I am very sorry for this. I didn’t think it was going to be like this.”

“It just so happened that an act of atrocities was committed at that time, which is why we were able to save these children. For now, let’s focus getting this situation under control.”

“Leave the children to me. I’ll leave the mansion to you.”

The Margrave bowed deeply to his mother and me. After stroking some of the children’s heads, the Margrave ran to the previous Margrave.

“Father, I’m sorry I’m late.”

“No, you’ve work hard. Did you make preparations in the mansion to receive these children?”

“Yes. I have prepared a larger cabin and have appointed a steward in charge. I also made sure that they can have hot meal right away.”

“Mm, that’s good. These kids were treated so badly. We must punish the adults who behaved badly on their behalf.”

“That’s right. I’m boiling with anger seeing them like this.”

Just as you’d expect from the Margrave.

To think that he had already made preparations for taking care of the children we just rescued. The previous Margrave hadn’t wavered from his stance for the sake of the children.

“Margrave-sama, we have captured the head of this trading company.”

“Guoh-”

They brought in a fat man. He was  surrounded by several soldiers. The head of this company seemed to be aware that he had done something wrong as he could not look at the Margrave and the previous Margrave. His face is turned away from them.

Ignoring the attitude of the head of the company, the Margrave spoke with a shouting voice.

“Muhou Trading Company, I rejected your application for the establishing your own slave trading company, so what is this!?”

Oi, oi.

So this is the Muhou Trading Company in question!

What’s more, they were operating a slave trade without a license. In this case, the people involved in this company cannot say anything even if they are condemned. As the name of the company suggests, they do whatever they want in a lawless state.

“Buying and selling slaves without a license is a serious crime punishable by death. Furthermore, it’s highly likely that these children were captured illegally.”

“Damn it!”

“Thoroughly interrogate those involved!”

““Yes!””

The people involved were taken away in a horse-drawn carriage one after another.

The interrogation in this world is not like in a previous life. It will include torture for sure.

The soldiers were also quite indignant about what had happened, so they took away the people involved with great enthusiasm.

Walking, Chapter 95: Rushing to the suspicious trading company

Just because the man collapsed doesn’t mean that the anger of the former Margrave subsided. Rather, the flames of his anger seem to have flared up more.

“The law of the country strictly prohibits the abuse of slaves! Especially the abuse to small children! It is strictly forbidden, regardless of whether they are slaves or not, you should know that! On top of that, you even made a fool of me!”

“Hi-hiii!”

The man’s face turned pale and he stated retreating, but it was too late. The anger of the former Margrave exploded.

“He’s been caught committing crimes red-handed! Catch him, gather the troops and investigate this company right now!”

“““Yes!””

The gates of the slave market were closed with the guards carefully protecting it.

By the way, the man who received the angry shout of the previous Margrave fainted with bubbles foaming on his mouth.

Soon after, other soldiers arrived and dozens of them entered the building. The other soldiers then began questioning those who remained on the road.

“Wow! Grandpa is amazing!”

Shiro and Ao were delighted with the speed of the former Margrave’s work, but the little girl was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Sue and I rushed to Shiro’s side.

The little girl has long blonde hair and feathers, and she looks like an angel. There is no doubt that she will be beautiful in the future. But now her face has wounds and stained with dirt and her clothes were in tatters.

I took out a blanket from the item box and covered her with it. Sue then began to treat the girl additionally.

“We’ve made some space over here.”

“Alright, I’m going to carry those who will be rescued here.”

As for me, I brought out several extra blankets. In addition, I put out something like a long chair so that multiple people can sit on it.

The reason why I did this is because the soldiers who rushed inside the company came out with wounded child on their arms. They are rescuing children one after another.

Me, Sue, and Ao also started treating the rescued children one by one.

All those rescued were children, all badly injured.

“Oh my God! I can’t believe such a terrible thing was happening there.”

The wife of the former Margrave is treating the children with her attendant steward. Seeing the children who were so injured and thin made her very distressed.

“We’ll help too.”

“We can’t overlook something this horrible.”

The shop owners also stood up for the plight of the children. Ao uses magic to create water and they used it to wipe the bodies of the children. 

“Damn it! Run away! Bubue-”

“I’m going to get rid of the bad guys!”

Several men rushed out of the building, trying to escape from the trading company that the soldiers had rushed into. However, they were also punched down by Shiro, who is burning with rage.

I mean, Shiro is only mercilessly beating up those suspicious people.

And at this time, more reinforcements arrived.

Walking, Chapter 94: An unexpected situation occurred

The tour on the slave trading company was over, so we decided to head to the Margrave’s mansion.

At the entrance, the steward, who had accompanied the wife of former Margave, gave a souvenir to the chairman of the slave trading company.

“Thank you very much for your time today. Thanks to you, we were able to get some very good information. Please enjoy this with everyone.”

“I’m sorry to bother you, thank you.”

Slaves don’t usually have the opportunity to eat sweet treats, so I’m sure they’ll be happy with the gift from the old lady.

Just then, a carriage with the escorting soldiers of the former Margrave’s wife arrived in front of the company.

Everyone was about to see her off  when—

Crash!

“P-please forgive me.”

“Shut up! If you don’t listen to me, this is what you’ll end up with!”

Bashin!

“F-forgive me, forgive me.”

“Damn! This thing is no good no matter how much time passes!”

Diagonally across from the one we just visited was the new trading company.

A little girl had been blown out of the building and she landed into the street. Then she is being beaten and kicked by the man who chased her outside. The little girl is crouching down, holding her head tightly while repeatedly asking for forgiveness.

We all froze at the sudden event, but someone immediately sprang into action.

“Hey! Stop it!”

“Huh? What’s up with this midget?”

Shiro stepped between the man and the little girl with her arms outstretched. Ao moved to the little girl’s side and quickly casted a healing spell on her.

Well, no matter how I look at it, the man seems to be a rogue.

“This slave is my commodity. It doesn’t matter what I do to her!”

“You should not bully a little girl!”

The man spat and made a sneer, but Shiro was not frightened.

The little girl looked up at Shiro with an anxious expression.

“I can’t believe there are people out there doing stupid things like this. How pathetic it is, indeed!”

And at that moment, someone stepped out of the carriage.

Oh, this person has come to pick up his wife.

“Grandpa!”

Yes, it was the previous Margrave who appeared from the carriage. He is angry at the barbarism that took place in front of him.

“What did you say? You damn old man!”

Then, thinking that he had been further interrupted, the man started yelling insults at the previous Margrave. As the man in front yelled insults, knights surrounded the previous Margrave as if to protect him.

People walking down the street and staff from other shops were also watching the commotion, and they seemed surprised by the man’s crazy words.

“Oi oi, that guy just insulted the previous Margrave.”

“Yeah. And what’s more, he did what the previous Margrave hated the most —bullying the weak— right in front of him.”

“If he’s not careful, his head will be blown off.”

The people around us are now making such buzz and they are actively talking about what could happen to him.

Hearing those words, the man now seemed to have realized the identity of the person he had just insulted.

“Eh? T-the previous Margrave? S-seriously?”

Oi, where did all your boldness from before go?

The man fell on his butt, trembling.

Walking, Chapter 93: Muhou Trading Company

Since things were starting to sound a bit suspicious, we were shown what the everyday lives of slaves are like. We were ushered to the back of the company by the president of the trading company.

“First of, please come to this room.”

“Is this a classroom?”

“That’s right. We teach them to read, write, and calculate, and if they wish, we also teach them how to sew and cook.”

Child slaves are gathered in a large room, practicing writing.

Are they educating the slaves so that they can survive?

“We dispatch slaves who have received specialized training. The slaves can free themselves through their own efforts, and the purchase rate of slaves who have received specialized training is very high.”

“By attaching value, you are making it profitable for various people, including slaves.”

“That’s right.”

If I think about it, slave trading is also a business. It goes without saying that they take care of the health of their slaves, but it’s only natural that they also make business efforts such as adding value to their slaves.

“We have employed people who have been freed from slavery in our house, and they are doing a very good job. I feel that your education is wonderful.”

“I’m honored.”

It is said that the Margrave also recruited a wide range of freed slaves. They’re professionals in their own field, so I’m sure they have incredible abilities.

“Basically, we work in cooperation with slave merchants to provide education and the like. We used to work with the church, but due to recent circumstances, we are now estranged.”

“I guess that’s a given. If they’re charging such high medical fees, anyone would become estranged from them.”

We went back to the president’s room and talked about it, but the topic of the church came up.

The chairman of the executive committee couldn’t help but smile wryly. Well, I myself was also surprised when I saw the treatment fee written on the signboard.

“This time, there is a skilled healer at the time of cherry blossom viewing, so it is better to come for treatment while you’re at it.”

“I’ve heard rumors about it too. I heard that there are now plenty of potions circulating on the market as well.”

Hey, guys, don’t look at me and grin like that.

Shiro doesn’t seem to know what’s going on, but Sue seemed to notice that everyone is grinning at me.

“U-uhm, are there slave merchants causing problems?”

“Oh dear, we’ve have digressed from the topic huh. Speaking of which, church clergymen are frequently intruding on a slave trader company called Muhou Trading Company. It is a company that was only recently established.”

“Hmm, no matter how you look at it, that seems suspicious. Normally, people connected to the church don’t often visit slave traders.”

“Yes, as a frontier county, I think we should be careful with that company.”

Well, from the name ot if, I think it’s a very suspicious company. However, this means that we have been able to pick up an organization that need attention along with the church.

Now it’s just a matter of how to investigate.

Walking, Chapter 92: The slave market

After seeing off the soldier, we entered the slave market. First, we head to the trading company that manages the shops in the slave market.

“Wow, the cityscape is so beautiful. For a moment, I thought that the slaves are being sold in chains on the streets.”

“That used to be the case. In the past, order was not maintained, and slaves were treated badly. Little by little, the situation has improved, and the human rights of slaves are finally being protected.”

The inside of the slave market is very clean and tidy. The people passing by on the street are well-dressed as well.

Occasionally, I would see people who looked like slaves following their masters, but they didn’t look pessimistic, and the masters seemed to care about their slaves.

The old lady said that at least now none of the slaves were treated tragically. The chairman also talked about this area when we arrived at the company.

“The country is also working on establishing laws regarding slavery, and slave companies and slave owners are prohibited from abusing slaves.”

A man dressed as a gentleman greeted us with open arms, despite the sudden arrival of many people.

However, when it came to a certain story, the chairman’s face clouded.

“It is true that there are still slave owners who treat their slaves badly, and we do not sell slaves to such slave masters. However, there are still slave merchants who dare to sell slaves to such slave masters.”

“I know of their existence too. They seem to be common among forces that advocate humanism. I’ve heard that the slaves they treated harshly are mostly beastmen and rare species.”

The old lady continued to talk, but something caught my attention. The church that is currently causing problems advocates humanism.

Maybe there’s some kind of connection to that?

“Sorry to butt in, but maybe there is a connection between the forces of the church and the illegal slave merchants that is now in question?”

“Oh, you’re quite sharp Shun-san. Sigh, to be precise, the aristocrats and wealthy people who advocate humanism are also involved in this.”

Whoa, this is quite troublesome.

I can understand why the wife of the former Margrave was sighing. At worst, it might be easier for us to deal with it if the church were to explode.

Walking, Chapter 91: Arriving at the slave market

We change our minds and head to the slave market. In fact, the slave market is near the shopping street, so we all returned to the shopping street at once.

At first glance, the slave market looks like an ordinary trading company lined with shops, but the buildings are well built. The slave market is at a dead-end street, and there are soldiers guarding the entrance. I guess the soldiers are there to stop the slaves from escaping and to keep out suspicious people.

Eh?

There is a woman in the soldier’s place who I’ve seen before. Shiro and Ao charge towards the woman who is having a friendly chat with the soldier.

“Grandma!”

“Oh my, if it isn’t Shiro-chan. Oh, Ao-chan is with you too.”

“Yeah. Shiro is always with Ao!”

The person who was talking to the soldier was the wife of the former Margrave of the Eastern Frontier.

But, why is she in the slave market?

While I was thinking about this, the chairman of the executive committee and the shop owners approached the wife of the former Margrave.

Sue and I followed along.

“Oh, if it isn’t Madam. Are you doing consolation today?”

“Yes, that’s right. I also check to make sure that the slaves are living well.”

According to their conversation, members of the Margrave family often check the slaves in the slave market if they encountered injustice. This time, it is the old lady’s turn.

“Shun-san, are you touring the slave market today as well?”

“Yes. I decided to go around the church and the slave market. We had a terrible experience at the church though.”

“Yes, yes. That guy yelled at me. He said Shiro and Ao are unclean.”

“How could he say that! Can you tell me a little more about it?”

When I told grandma about today’s schedule and what happened at the church, she was quite surprised. It seemed that she was quite worried about Shiro and Ao’s disappointment.

The chairman of the executive committee and I talked about the events at the church, and the wife of the former Margrave started talking to the soldier.

“The Margrave family hasn’t heard of this change in the church either. Do the soldiers know about this information?”

“No. When I went around the church last week, there was no signboard like that.”

“This is not very good. Then please confirm the existence of that signboard at the church and report it to the mansion.”

“Yes! I’ll do it right away.”

As expected of the wife of the former Margravate. She immediately gave instructions to the soldiers.

The matter on the church is not even known by the Margrave family so it looks like it’s going to be more serious than I thought.

“Madam, we will visit the mansion after the tour of the slave market.”

“That will be a relief. The cherry blossom viewing festival starts tomorrow, and I want to prevent any trouble as much as possible.”

The chairman of the executive committee talked to the old lady. Looks like he wanted to ease her anxiety.

Alright, let’s finish the tour of the slave market early.

Walking, Chapter 90: A very suspicious church

As we are looking at the signboard in front of the church, a person who seemed to be related to the church came out. Apparently, our voices could be heard inside the church.

But there’s something wrong with this clergyman.

No matter how I look at him, he looks like the “thug” who came to the Adventurer’s Guild the other day. It’s like he’s a rogue wearing a clergyman’s clothes.

Shiro and Ao are also on high alert when they saw someone coming out of the church. Judging by Shiro and Ao’s attitudes, there seems to be no doubt that this suspicious person is a criminal of some sort.

“Hmph! I just thought why it was so noisy, so it was because there’s a beastman and a slime here. There’s no use for you beastman, and your beastman-smelling companions here. Get lost!”

The suspicious clergyman hurled insults at us as soon as he saw us. Hearing the swearing, the shop owners of the shopping street, including the chairman of the executive committee, all started rebuking the suspicious clergyman.

“What’s with this amount of money? It’s obviously fishy!”

“Up until now, if something happened at the church, the shopping street would have been notified, but this time, there was nothing at all!”

“Has the Church at last become a money loser?”

The suspicious clergyman snorted at the shop owners who are shouting back at him.

“Hmph! There’s nothing to talk about to poor men like you lot. Get out of here!”

After he said this to us, the suspicious clergyman entered the church and slammed the door closed.

“What the heck!? I’ve never seen such terrible church personnel!”

“The previous ones were still decent. I understand what you are saying.”

“Sigh. Has the church really fallen this low?”

The suspicious behavior of clergyman outraged not only the shop owners but also Sue.

Well, it seems more likely that he is a criminal than church personnel.

“Uu, he got mad at me……”

“Shiro and Ao, don’t care about what he said. You knew he is a suspicious person, right?”

“Yes….…”

Shiro and Ao looked dejected, probably because they’d been yelled at by that suspicious clergyman. No one likes to be yelled at after all.

Sue and I are stroking Shiro and Ao’s heads as we comfort them.

“This isn’t looking good. Let’s go to the Lord’s mansion after checking out the slave market.”

“Mm, you’re right. The response of this church is too domineering.”

I talked to the executive committee chairman, and it was clear that something is wrong with the church.

But why does the church need so much money?

I couldn’t help but hope that nothing happens at the slave market, which we are going to after this.

Walking, Chapter 89: Signboard in front of the church

In addition to me, Sue, Shiro, and Ao, the executive committee chairman will also go to the church and the slave market.

This line up is a bit….

Just as I thought about it, I realized that there would be more people accompanying me in addition to the executive committee chairman.

“Even if you guys are talented adventurer, the church and the slave market do not allow first timers.”

“We’ll go with you. It’s just a greeting, no need to be so nervous.”

Several burly shop owners in the shopping district offered to accompany us. 

“Dear, do your best.”

“Shut up those idiots for a bit.”

“““Yes!”””

Instead of trying to stop the shop owners, their wives were encouraging them more.

Yup. This is definitely going to be quite a big deal.

In the end, we decided to head to the church and the slave market with a large group of 10 people. With such a large number of people, we seem to stand out from the surroundings.

And after a short walk from the market, we arrived at our first destination, the church.

Well, even though it’s a rest day, the church isn’t crowded at all. Normally, there would be a lot of people coming to the church to pray. People passing by the church also showed signs that they don’t want to enter the church either.

The shops around the church are filled with customers, so the church was the only place left empty.

“Oh, the cuckoo birds finally begun to sing huh.”

“Ahaha, this feels good. After all the trouble they’ve been causing us, this is just right.”

The shop owners are pointing their finger and smiling at the desolation in the church.

There are really a lot of trouble between the shopping street and the church huh. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be laughing at the church like this.

Just like that, we arrived in front of the church.

There, an inexplicable signboard stood in front of the church.

“What!? Non-humans are not allowed to enter the church? The entrance fee is 50,000 gold coins, the treatment starts at 1,000,000 gold coins, and an appointment with a priest costs 10,000,000 gold coins. Just what craziness is this?”

“It’s kind of expensive. I wonder if Shiro and Ao can’t go inside the church either?”

When I saw what was written on the signboard, I couldn’t help but ask.

I had somehow expected that non-humans are prohibited from entering, but I never expected that there would be an entry fee, and that it would be so expensive.

The treatment is very expensive so it is easy to understand why people in the town don’t get treatment. On top of that, there’s a signboard that says only humans are allowed inside.

Shiro and Ao tug on my sleeve and look up anxiously.

“This is terrible. The last time I was here, there was no signboard like this.”

The chairman of the executive committee was also puzzled when he saw the signboard. The signboard still looks new, so it must have been installed recently.

The shop owners also looked at the signboard with perplexed expressions.
