After the discussion, we moved from the waiting room to the large room where the children were. The rescued children have finished changing their clothes and are eating together. Maids are busy moving around the children, and it feels like a small nursery school.

“Ah, Shun-oniichan, Sue-oneechan, welcome back.”

“Welcome back!”

Shiro came to Sue and me, and so did the dragoneut girl. Now she wasn’t being held by Shiro, but she is holding Shiro’s hands.

“We’re back.”

“Aren’t you having dinner? Go on, eat a lot okay.”

““Yes!””

Sue asked the dragoneut girl about the meal, and for some reason, Shiro replied with her and they went back to the table. The two of them really got along well.

Incidentally, Ao also climbed on top of Shiro’s head and she moved towards the table that way.

“Welcome back. From the look on your face, it looks like the meeting went well.”

“Yes. I think the Margrave and the former Margrave will talk to you about the future plan later.”

“Oh, I see. I’m looking forward to it.”

The wife of the former Margrave, who was taking care of the children, came to me and Sue. However, as expected of her who had supported her husband who was a lord for many years, she guessed the outcome of our discussion by the complexion and expression of me and Sue. The wife of the former Margrave is indeed a great person.

Then, the wife of the former Margrave made a proposal.

“The dragoneut girl who befriended Shiro-chan is named Fran. Well, as you can see, she has become attached to Shiro-chan.”

“Oh, then, does Madam want me to take care of her?”

“Ara~, it looks like you’ve read my thoughts.”

Well, when she talked about Shiro and Fran, I can kind of guessed it.

Looking at how close those two are, it’s a bit cruel to separate them.

“Sue, is it okay with you?”

“Yes, I’ll leave it to Shun-san.”

Sue says it’s not a problem, so I can decide.

“Alright then. I’ll take care of Fran.”

“Thank you. As long as we know where she is, there won’t be any problem. Seeing how attached Shiro-chan is to Shun-san, it will put my mind at ease.”

The wife of the former Margrave asked me to take care of Fran, so Sue and I immediately went to Shiro, Fran, and Ao.

　

“Yey, I’m with Fran!”

“Yey, yey!”

Apparently, in addition to Shiro and Fran, who have good ears, Ao was also listening to my conversation with the former Margrave’s wife.

The three of them were bouncing together.

Oi, you are currently eating!

There are other children here, so I let them sit down and continue eating.

In the drawing room, in addition to me, Sue, and Ao, there is the Margrave and the previous Margrave. No one else was there, not even the head butler. That shows how highly confidential the matter must be.

“First of all, thank you. You guys really helped a lot in rescuing those children. The treatment was spot on, and I thought it was very impressive.”

“Shiro was the first to stand up to that man so I think she deserves a lot of credit.”

“Hohoho, that’s right. I’ll have to reward her later.”

We just did the basic treatment, and Shiro took down the rogues.

While receiving a reward for the rescue, we get down to business.

“To start with, there is no doubt that the rescued children were illegally recruited. Also, that Muhou Trading Company was exiled from another territory for the crime of dealing in illegal slavery. That’s why I didn’t allow them to do business  in the Margravate territory in the first place.”

“But the fact that they were still able to do business is a big loophole. This was a lack of supervision on our part.”

The Muhou Trading Company is really as lawless as the name suggests huh. Even though they had a criminal record, they can even operate so openly.

“But why did they gather the children?”

“Firstly, it’s probably to get money. The church was collecting expensive medical expenses, so they definitely needed money.”

“It is probably providing operating funds for the humanist group. They are even openly rebelling against the Royal family and various Margrave. They’re a real headache.”

This is clearly a political battle then.

I guess I can’t tell the content of this conversation to the people in the shopping street.

“We have been protesting at church headquarters up until now but it is possible that we have been blocked by those humanist group. In this regard, we decided to protest through a different route.”

“Sue, I’m sorry, but can you please take at look at this to see if it’s okay?”

“I understand. I’ll check it out.”

Yep, I’m out of the game in this part. There is no way I can help her check the content of the letter they’ll send to a nobleman.

While the three of them were fiddled around with tablet-like device and revising the message, I ate some snacks with Ao.

“I think this is okay.”

“Mm, that’s a drastic move. Let’s get started right away.”

“Okay, let’s send it. I’m looking forward to seeing what the result will be.”

Now that the letter was completed, the Margrave immediately operated the terminal.

The fact that the former Margrave is grinning widely must mean that Sue had come up with an amazing message.

“Is Sue’s message that amazing?”

“Haha, it’s a message that inspires the recipient. That’s how amazing it is.”

“Oh, I got a reply right away. Hmm, they said they would send an investigator and a knight of the church within two weeks.”

“Looking at the reply, it seems like they’re very angry about what happened. They said they’re going to raid the church headquarters in the Royal Capital too.”

Wow.

Once Sue sent the message, things started to move in an instant. But I’m too afraid to ask who the message was sent to.

“In terms of timing, the investigators will arrive around the time the cherry blossom viewing is almost done. Once the cherry blossom viewing is over, we will be able to move.”

“Well, I’ll talk to some of the adventurers in this town then. By the way, the matter of the church signage has already become a big topic.”

“There will be the cherry blossom viewing festival so let’s be on high alert for two weeks. Even if the number of soldiers and knight increased, I think there won’t be any problem as long as I say it’s for the cherry blossom viewing festival.”

“Yes, I understand. We’ll be there too, let’s all be careful.”

As discussed, we’ll all be on high alert during the cherry blossom viewing period.

I’ll try to be extra careful for the next two weeks. Both Sue and Ao are motivated, so I asked them do their best.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
