Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had fun during this holiday season. Here is the chapter, enjoy.

Yoru contacted me throughTelepathyearly in the morning, and when I told him which hotel we were staying in, Yoru and Latisneil came into the room a few minutes later.

Master-dono, this is the thing that you wanted.

In the morning when the sun had only begun to rise, both Amelia and Kurou were still asleep in their respective rooms.

I received the document that Yoru held in his mouth and when I patted his head and scratched under his chin, he purred, as if feeling comfortable.

Aah. Youve saved me. Latisneil as well, thank you.

I said that, and Latisneil presented her head to me.

Not knowing what that meant, I just tilted my head in confusion.

what.

Thereupon, Latisneil lifted her head up a little and puffed out her cheeks.

Mou! It means that I want my head to be patted too! Why is it that when it comes to your girlfriend, you understand it, but dont know when it comes to me?

Aah, theres no point in doing something like understanding the feelings of women who are not Amelia, and its enough to just be considerate of Amelias emotions, right? Also, I wont pat your head.

Rather, I was confused.

Why was this demon saying something so obvious.

And then, Latisneil sighed and looked up at the sky.

I, more or less, was first place in the pageant alongside your girlfriend though. Ill lose self-confidence.

The result of that pageant was a fluke due to the lighting and angles, thats my opinion, even now.

Good grief, not bothering with Latisneil who was shaking her head anymore, I looked at Yoru and he was looking with Latisneil with a somewhat difficult look on his face.

Did something happen?

When I held Yoru in my arms and asked him this, his gaze turned towards the paper that I was holding.

Come to think of it, I hadnt taken a look at it yet.

It was because Latisneil said something strange.

I opened up the paper that had been folded up.

And, I became aware of that uncomfortable feeling.

Yoru, where was this?

Yoru looked puzzled when he heard that, and then he answered me, though he tilted his head in confusion.

It was in the attic of the Adventurer Guild. Latisneil-sama had asked the same thing. Is this document so strange?

I patted the anxious Yoru on the head and when I calmed him down, he was purring once again, perhaps it was instinctive.

No, thats not it. Its just too good to be true. However, the information is most likely true.

It was because it was true that its strange.

If this was in the Adventurer Guilds attic, then they are there. People who want to assassinate Gram. Moreover, theyre someone close to Gram.

I nodded at Latisneils words.

If we dont hurry, the prey may be taken away.

Wa, wait a minute! Why do you think that just from the fact that the document was in the attic? Isnt it Grams usual carelessness.

Aah, I nodded and showed Yoru the document.

Look, isnt it strange?

Yoru was even more confused.

Was I being a little too mean, I smiled and showed him the part that was suspicious.

This document, the paper is too thick, first of all. The documents that I saw in Uls Guild was not this thick, and they just carelessly put it somewhere. Yet there were no other creases other than where Yoru had folded it, and it wasnt even wrinkled. It has the same thickness as the paper I saw in the royal castle yesterday. And isnt suspicious that the information is all written on a single sheet of paper? human traffickings, organ tradings, murders, the names of the mercenaries under his employ. Its all properly outlined. Its the same with the paper, its as if it was to be presented to a certain king. With just this single piece of paper, there would be a war, wouldnt there? Isnt human trafficking strictly forbidden among the beastmen? If the person close to Gram told them to leave it in the unlocked attic, saying that it was an order from Gram, then that person was trying to deliver it to someone, or trying to have it stolen. Yoru had found it first though.

Perhaps he understood what I was saying, as Yorus complexion gradually worsened.

This is not the time for a war. Uruks royal family would be completely destroyed. When that happens, Ria-dono wouldnt get out of it safely either.

The one involved with the human trafficking that beastmen were utterly disgusted with was someone from the royal family of all people.

Of course it would turn out that way.

According to the document, those who were sold were not just beastmen, but humans and elves as well.

Perhaps among them included the wives and children of those guys who bowed their heads to me in the elven territory as well.

I had said that I would pick them up if I encountered them, so I couldnt feign ignorance.

In fact, I dont really care which country in this world would be destroyed. However.

Seeing that Im already involved, I thought that I wanted to do something about it.

The things that I could do wasnt much, but Ria had protected me with her barrier in the Brute dungeon, and she had also saved me yesterday when I was being jostled.

It seems that Amelia liked Ria as well.

I sighed.

And it wouldve been great if we knew where this information was supposed to be reported to, but as expected, it wasnt written on it.

Retice Kingdom, huh.

When I looked up upon suddenly hearing a voice, Kurou was standing in the doorway of the room.

This guy, did he have to make his entrance in this way.

It would be bad for the heart if he did this regularly.

However, this time, rather than surprise, I felt uneasy.

Retice Kingdom, you said?
