211. Fix even the barn (1)
Woo woo woo woo–!
Forrest and Oliver’s vehicle glided along the road toward Area A.
In District A, the heart of Landa, the city council, related administrative facilities, and the Pateri Paladin branch were concentrated.
Forrest got into the car and spoke to someone on the communicator.
“…so you don’t have to come. Okay. Call me right away.”
click.
When the communication ended, Oliver asked.
“Who were you talking to?”
“article. He asked if he had heard the rumors and what happened to you.”
“okay?”
“Yeah, you look blunt, but they seem to like you a lot. I saw him asking if he needed it.”
“Oh, thank you for that. I don’t know why.”
Oliver said sincerely. Because he didn’t really know why Joe liked him.
When Forrest saw Oliver like that, he shook his head and opened his mouth.
“It’s certainly fun to talk with you, but let’s get back to reality for now. Did you memorize everything I gave you?”
Oliver answered with a note.
“Yes, first, answer questions about the past to a minimum. Second, if you ask about the devil, answer that you are not interested and do not know. Third, when asked about the mission, exercise the right to remain silent by talking about the terms of the contract…. I memorized it all.”
“Great.”
Forrest immediately took the note he had given Oliver back, crumpled it up, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Contrary to the practice of always wearing a suit, maintaining good manners, and maintaining dignity. Oliver looked at him blankly.
“Because you shouldn’t give the paladin anything to be caught.”
“·····ah.”
“Don’t focus again. Did you see people using the Invoice Doll?”
“Yeah, on my last mission with Mr. Jonathan. Helper 2 Parker was used in the process of capturing Mr. Benium. Some people who live there have witnessed it.”
“Assistant 2 Parker?”
“Yes, it is a mortuary doll made by weaving the hands of a doctor and a mechanic based on a spider-polluting creature. It’s the size of a large dog, and it’s meant to be used to repair the invoice doll on-the-fly.”
“Thanks for the detailed explanation. Carsickness is about to come up, but it must be my fault for asking. Well···. I hate to say this to my friend who is struggling in the field, but did I really have to use that cemetery doll? In particular, such a unique thing?”
“I’ve given you advice before, but I’m sorry for breaking it. But it was necessary and used. Otherwise, the damage would increase and the people who live there could be harmed.”
“Uhm… If you are, then so be it.”
As soon as Forrest heard the reason, he immediately understood and did not question him.
His interest was focused on resolving the current situation, not covering up minor errors.
“Let the invoicing doll claim that it was repaired and used in the contaminated area. Even if it sounds like force, put an iron plate on your face.”
“Yes, I understand····. But, is that better?”
“Actually, just using the invoice doll itself is a big problem. I don’t mean to criticize you, but it’s something that harms human dignity. Because the material is the material.”
“ah····.”
“I apologize if I offended you.”
“No, it is not. That’s true.”
“…and since it is a puppet that first created the mortice doll, they say that using their technology is related to the puppet, so they wear sunglasses first.”
“Is that so?”
“It’s a rumor, but that’s how I know…. Well, since the mortuary doll itself is an old technique, it is possible to learn it in other ways, but why do you need to show smoke in the chimney?”
“Oh, I see····. But you know.”
“I study every evening.”
Forrest smiled jokingly.
After that, Forrest reassured Oliver not to worry too much because he’d be joining him, asked the Brokers’ Guild for help, and further explained that it wouldn’t be a big deal, citing other warlocks as an example.
I could feel the sincerity and sincerity in each and every word.
“…at best, it’ll be annoying, so don’t fret and respond calmly. Just answer the questions to the minimum.”
“Yes, I understand.”
When he was ready to face the Paladins to some extent, Al said cautiously.
“president. Dave Mr. It will be arriving soon.”
Looking outside, it was true.
A pure white building that mixed half and half of military facilities and a temple caught my eye.
“Is that…?”
“It’s the Paladin Seland branch.”
“The building is nice.”
“The money was made with the tithes of the believers, so of course it should be cool. The church cares a lot about that. Nice and majestic.”
“Is there a reason?”
“That’s how authority stands.”
Forrest replied with a mixture of sarcasm and ridicule. seems to be the same
After a while, the car stopped at the main entrance.
The security guards who seemed to be involved checked Al’s face and frowned.
“Red skin?”
I felt a sense of dread. The same thing happened to me when I first visited the Ministry of Home Affairs building.
Forrest told the security guard that he was his chauffeur, as it was then.
If there is a difference, the security guards at the Ministry of Home Affairs greeted Forrest with an apology and a smile when they checked his face.
Here, the guards of the Paladin Seland branch were more impressed.
“Whatever it is, we were guests at the Ministry of Home Affairs, but not to the humans here. Think of it as an insect that needs to be eradicated. Living illegally.”
As Forrest went through the front door and entered, said Forrest.
“okay····. But, why not?”
“The city pact doesn’t allow you to touch anything other than warlock crimes and demons, and the Brokers Guild also feeds donations on a regular basis.”
“…are you feeding them donations?”
“I want to express it that way. It’s both a donation and a bribe. Anyway, the point is, you’ve always had the construction done, so don’t worry too much. I’ll deal with it, so you only answer when asked. Avoid useless words.”
Oliver nodded at Forrest’s sincere request.
“Yes, I understand. Then, I will trust only Forrest-sama.”
“Don’t let your expectations disappoint.”
***
“What is this?”
Forrest, who got out of the car and entered the Paladin Selland branch building, asked the staff instead of walking down the hallway.
Forrest looked angry even at Chuck.
It was as if something very unusual happened.
“As I said, I told you that only one warlock you summoned should enter.”
The thick-necked, ferocious employee like a bear answered.
He had a fairly intimidating appearance, and actually had the intention to press his opponent using his appearance.
But Forrest did not back down. He, too, was involved in Randa’s rough life.
“I don’t understand. Why can’t I go in? Dave’s broker. I am also the guarantor of this friend’s identity. First of all, I heard that the middlemen went in with a fixer.”
“I just changed the rules arbitrarily for a more accurate investigation. Please cooperate.”
“We’ve cooperated well enough, and we can’t agree to that rule.”
“Are you ignoring the Paladin’s request now?”
“To obey the rules of this city. This is Landa. It’s not in a rural area where only peacocks who believe that eating rabbit meat will make their ears elongate.”
Forrest said without hiding his displeasure at all.
At those words, the staff of the Paladin branch also lit up with displeasure.
It seemed like a big dissatisfaction that the authority of a paladin was being challenged.
He slowly lifted up his massive, muscular and fleshy hand and tried to rest it on Forrest’s shoulder as it was…
···widely!
Oliver, who was watching from behind, raised the quarterstaff slightly and stopped the employee’s hand.
Other staff members around them looked at this in surprise. The momentum to move.
Ah, now I remember who they are.
was a Servant. An attendant who assists the paladin and soldiers.
When I first met Joanna, I saw people like them.
‘ah····. So, are you meeting Joanna today too?’
It might be possible enough. Joanna was a paladin. Then I felt an indescribable feeling.
Would it be awkward or would it be sour? Anyway, it was an odd feeling.
Then, someone spoke to Oliver. Oliver returned to reality.
“Hey····. “What are you doing now?” I asked.
“Yes? ah····.”
Oliver saw the Servant conversing with Forrest. Oliver’s quarterstaff was blocking his hand.
He was very dissatisfied with this behavior.
“Dare you, warlocks are against us? At your father’s house?”
father. One God of Parterism.
Oliver wanted to ask if God was sleeping here, but he resisted because he thought it would be a metaphor.
Oliver cautiously opened his mouth when he saw the other Servants who were on alert.
“No, I think it would be rude to just touch an old man. We have to be respectful to each other.”
Perhaps the answer was completely unexpected, the employee who was about to touch Forrest’s body paused for a moment.
Then he slowly lowered his wretched hand. In response, Oliver lowered the quarter staff and bowed slightly to greet him.
“Thank you for your understanding. I sincerely apologize for touching you too.”
Oliver greeted him politely, as he had learned at the Angel’s House in the past. opened his mouth again.
“Did you say I can go in by myself?”
“····okay.”
“What do you mean now?”
Forrest asked, grabbing Oliver’s sudden action. Oliver replied softly.
“First of all, shouldn’t we cooperate?”
“There is such a thing as a degree. If it comes out like this, you can reject it. Literally cooperating. There is no legal compulsion.”
“Isn’t there a good reason that Forrest tried to cooperate even though there was no coercion?”
It was correct. There was no legal problem even if he refused right away, but there were plenty of ways to harass him in a detour.
When it comes to warlocks and demons, they have the power to investigate and mobilize the police force.
Although it is a family, if the paladin had a bad heart, it was enough to interfere with Forrest’s work.
“I can handle that tidying up.”
“It’s a busy time for both Forrest and I, isn’t it?”
Forrest had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at the words that once again stabbed the peak.
Within the promised timeframe, we had to supply the fighter crew members to the crime firm soon.
To add a bit of exaggeration, the time to eat, sleep, and even time to drink and coffee was wasted.
Even time for drinks and coffee!
In the meantime, I didn’t know if I would have to pay a bigger price than I thought if there was a problem with the Paladin and the business was set off.
Contracts in the dark were sometimes more thorough than in the sun.
“Besides, you need to find a place to move the restaurant, and don’t you need to increase the number of customers? Just cooperate. I think that would be better.”
Forrest sighed at the irrefutable theory. When the most troublesome party spoke so far, there was nothing he said.
“Since when did you become so good at talking?”
“Since I have been here for over a year, I can understand a little bit of the breathing here. Now that I know, it makes it a little easier to speak.”
“Whoa…. Are you really okay?”
“yes. You’ll have to try it once, but I think it’ll be fine. I also want to finish work quickly.”
“What are you whispering about?”
The Servant who blocked Forest asked as if interrogating. Although he had softened a bit, he was still wary of Oliver and Forrest.
Forrest said as if he had finally made up his mind.
“Please excuse me for a moment. Dave. Then I ask you to work again. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help.”
“You have already informed me about this and it has been very helpful. Please wait a moment.”
Forrest nodded, and Oliver turned around and said he would follow the Servant.
The Servant looked at Oliver with suspicious eyes and guided him.
“Follow me.”
