Behind the Scenes
-Thank you for using our vehicle today-
At noon, I boarded a train from Edgeworth territory
While watching the sunset, the vehicle's announcement plays.
-This vehicle will soon arrive in Fimor territory and capital. Once the vehicle arrives, we will head to the hangar for vehicle inspection, so please make sure you don't forget anything...-
The three of them are acting separately again.
I asked those three people to act as decoys again.
Under the pretext of an inspection, I boldly let them use a wyvern carriage to take some time
"Excuse me. Are you Shiro-sama?"
Someone called out to me as soon as I left the station.
The owner of the voice is a cat person
He was wearing a cloak
A knight's emblem is peeking through the gap.
"That's right."
I also showed him my emblem from my palm and confirmed each other's positions.
"I'll guide you to the inn."
-----------
I was told that I would be guided to an inn, but the place I headed to was definitely not an inn.
It's an abandoned house in a dark back alley.
There were five more cat people there.
"We've been waiting for you. Commander."
"Yeah, sorry for making you wait. Did you find out anything?"
These five people are also knights.
They happened to be in Fimor territory due to other work.
At that time, these were the people who identified the source of the rumor
"As soon as we heard the inspection report, we took action."
"In particular?"
"There's a lot of people who look like soldiers coming and going all over the territory. We’ve identified a few, but…"
"Looks like a soldier? Not a soldier?"
"Yes, it is poorly made and you can see differences here and there."
Someone pretending to be a soldier, huh?
"What did you find out?"
"We did not confiscate or arrest them because we wanted to avoid our presence being discovered. The charges involved tax embezzlement and falsification."
"Do you think it's a mistake?"
"Yes, I think there's still something they really want to hide somewhere."
Well, I guess so.
I don't think they are clueless bandits if they spread bad rumors about other territories even though they have something they want to keep secret, and then move in a hurry when they're about to be found out.
"I will let Toraris, Chuck, and Karan, who will come later, deal with the lord."
"…Those three?"
"Are they notorious?"
"For better or worse."
"Well, they are weird, but not stupid. They might actually do better than me."
Let's work behind the scenes
"Let's find out where they're hiding it. All before the three of them start inspecting."
"I got it"
We still don't know what John Fimor is hiding.
There is no doubt that he is plotting something bad against the Empire.
