I became the sick nobelman

Chapter 96 - To Setiria (3)

"So?"

Ruel yawned and asked.

After one raid, he fell asleep as if he passed out.

He barely came to his senses and stopped by Prios for a certain period to have a meal.

"As expected from Ruel-nim, it seems that they purposely attacked us to check our abilities. There have been no raids since."

Cassion put down the plate.

The appetizing smell of food tickled his nostrils.

—It must be delicious! This body is excited now!

Leo wagged his tail as he grabbed the table from Ruel's lap.

"I have one thing to tell you."

Cassion approached Ruel and took Leo and put him down on the floor.

—This body wants to eat, too. This body has a mouth, too.

When Leo hung onto Cassion's legs, he put down a bowl of various sweet things such as cakes, pies, and cookies that Cassion had prepared in advance.

Leo's eyes twinkled in an instant.

—This body likes Cassion!

Munch. Munch.

Cassion snorted for a moment and went on.

"Most of the people involved in the raid were adventurers."

He took the adventurer's token from his pocket and handed it to Ruel.

Ruel looked at the adventurer's token.

The back of the certificate was marked with the emblem of the adventurers' guilds that issued it.

The Prostone Guild.

It was a guild he'd never heard of.

"The commission office says they don't know who the client is, right? He must have offered a huge amount on the condition that his identity remained secret."

"Yes, that's correct. As you expected, the client requested to remain anonymous when making the request."

"Maybe we'll use the same commission office next time, so we'll hide our identity and coax it in moderation. The first time is the hardest, and the second time is the easiest."

"I see."

"Also."

Ruel spoke again, cutting the meat elegantly.

"If you have to silence the mouth of the commission office and secretly rescue adventurers, there is a high possibility that a large sum of money has been drained. Investigate the bank."

There were only a few banks at this time.

It wouldn't be difficult to investigate, as there were one to three banks in each territory.

"We're already looking into it."

Ruel smiled at Cassion's reply.

As expected, it was good to see you do everything on your initiative.

"I think that's enough rest for your shadows, right? There are many things to investigate."

For a moment the shadow in the corner shook.

"Perhaps, they have had enough rest. They are prepared for anything."

Cassion smiled very brightly. The shadow shook again.
