"Author's Note: Did a rough editing of nasirlordno1's translation. If anyone can do a better translation or editing, please help."

---

The rope connecting the Caterpilland and the carriage broke, and the carriage was missing.

Kiel and the others are nowhere to be seen.

“What happened!?” (Naofumi)

As soon as Caterpilland saw me, it came running at me with a great speed.

Then it clung onto me while trying to tell me something.

“You were attacked when you were out peddling! The children who were riding in the carriage were kidnapped? Eh? That's wrong?” (Taniko)

Taniko tried to decipher the words of Caterpilland but she was unable to completely understand.

But, we could tell that something had transpired.

“Where did it happen!?” (Ren)

Ren asks Taniko.

“Ummm……” (Taniko)

“It must be in the direction where this fellow came from?” (Ren)

“Probably” (Taniko)

Following the tracks for the Caterpilland, Ren dashed off.

“Ah, wait! Don't leave me behind!” (Female Knight)

The Female Knight ran after him. But that wouldn’t be enough.

“Philorials, one of you guys go along with Ren” (Naofumi)

“Kue!” (Philorial)

On my command, the Philorial that was near me, ran off to accompany them.

It’s okay if the case was resolved by this, but... I can't suppress the anxiety in my heart.

“First, we need to give this guy treatment. Please get Rat” (Naofumi)

I tell Taniko to call Rat while chanting recovery magic.

The effects of recovery magic is very low on the monsters. In this case, natural recovery or recovery by medicine should be more effective.

Taniko ran into Rat's laboratory.

Suddenly, a problem occurred.

When Rat arrived, the Caterpilland starting to behave violently and tried to return the way he came.

Rat said that he had a strong desire for strength, and he was sickened with his own cowardice for not going after Ren.

“Is everything okay? What happened?” (Gaelion)

“Apparently thieves attacked the carriage and kidnapped the slaves.” (Naofumi)

After hearing the commotion, Gaelion came flying in.

The Caterpilland begins to tell something to Gaelion.

“Hmm… Hmm… What?” (Gaelion)

“Did you understand something?" (Naofumi)

"Ah, its true that there was a surprise attack, but shortly after they attacked the slaves became unable to move" (Gaelion)

“What do you mean?” (Naofumi)

Now that I think about it, the bonuses granted by the Hero of the Shield seemed overpowered.

To be frank, they are much stronger than any ordinary adventurers.

Imia's Uncle has gone under a class up, so I thought he was defeated due to a difference in numbers, but this may not be the case.

Still, I would like to investigate thoroughly.

The culprit that first comes to mind is Motoyasu, who isn't here, but I think its someone different.

It would be reasonable to think its Itsuki, who was behind these actions.

However, a question still remained.

Despite his selfishness, his sense of justice was everything to Itsuki.

Still, I can't rule out that there was someone among us that was brainwashed, but...

However, even though Itsuki was broken in Zeltbur, like Ren and Motoyasu, I have to consider that he could be using an unknown method to move about.

But even though he isn't showing himself, he still is being pretty shady.

It is really annoying.

The feeling doubles since Motoyasu did not try to hide what he was doing.

Well, its as you would expect from Perfect Hidden Justice.

Huh...anyway, it would be bad if he was captured.

Under my guidance, both Ren and Motoyasu have reformed.

Though it is strange that our positions are different than before.

“Caterpilland also says he received the attack and fled for his life” (Gaelion)

After conveying his message properly, the Caterpilland felt relieved and lost all his strength.

He died!?

To confirm I check his pulse.

He hasn't died, he is still breathing, but he overdid it and was in a state of distress.

And, once he had properly conveyed his message to me, his relief caused him to lose consciousness.

But...did Ren go off to such a dangerous place?

Is it dangerous?

I have to hurry and go after them, but...

It can’t be helped. Once Rat arrives, I will get ready to go out.

“Philorial” (Naofumi)

””“KUE!””” (Philorial)

"I'll go on Gaelion. Rishia and Atla also get on!"(Naofumi)

“Yes.” (Gaelion)

“Okay!” (Rishia)

””“KUE!?””” (Philorial)

“What is it? Are you dissatisfied? Then you can come with us! The remaining members will protect the village until we come back!" (Naofumi)

I lead the group while I was riding on the back of Gaelion from the ground, the Philorials follow along.

It wasn't long until I had caught up with Ren and his group, but as expected there was nothing left at the place Kiel and the others were attacked.

Though I let Gaelion to track them by smell, he lost the scent halfway.

The sun has set, and I was forced to abandon the search.

Ren wanted to continue to search, but he gave in when I warned him that it could result in a second incident.

When I returned to the village, I tallied the number of monsters and slaves as I begin to prepare for dinner.

Certainly…… recently the numbers have been reduced little by little.

It is not that I did not notice. I just thought that peddling took time.

Its not the time to look away.

Slave Crest is still functioning and not been removed.

The numbers have not decreased and should enter the range according to which I remember.

Yet I do not know their whereabouts.

I feel that the air in the village is heavier.

Because today, no conclusive evidence has been found.

Will Raphtalia be okay? Is she doing training well? I pray that nothing has happened.

But I still need to issue her instructions to come back because the problem has occurred.

The problem is…… whether the instruction is passed on or not.

I cut today’s material with a kitchen knife and throw it into the pan.

Though I stew it, it’s being boiled, it doesn’t stick to a hand so much.

Ren also seems restless.

But the situation does not improve for the better even if we search at night.

Because I cannot calm down, I cook at such times, The heroes are powerless. It is rare that I can't do anything.

For now, its only possible to wait for something to happen.

“Oh! What's with this?" (Naofumi)

I tasted the soup which I cooked today while saying so.

It's dangerous!

Alert sounds in my head.

“Huh ……” (Naofumi)

What is this? Did I add anything dangerous to the dish, did the cooking failed?

There were no such things so far.

A connoisseur about soup operates in my sight.

Toxic substance, toxicity… middle degree, breathing hindrance nature poisonous

I used an antidote, the detoxification magic cured me immediately.

What?

No, no one can make such a dangerous poison with the materials gathered here.

Did I mix it, and made a dangerous thing with alchemy by mistake?

“Is it done?” (Slave)

The slave in charge of cooking asks me while looking at the soup.

“No, look like I failed” (Naofumi)

“EH? But it smells so good” (Slave)

“Indeed” (Naofumi)

While saying so, I put away the soup in the bottle of water

Danger!

Same alerts like a little while ago was reflected in my field of vision.

What!?

Is it water?

I carefully make connoisseur of water

“Hey,this water has been taken from where?” (Naofumi)

“What? It’s from the well which is always used……” (Slave)

But what do I say that it is mixing or it is poisonous?

I have an unpleasant hunch.

“It’s useless!” (Naofumi)

“I don’t get it” (Slave)

“Anyway it's no use and it's painful” (Naofumi)

Looking outside at the dining room, I saw a Firorial quarrel with the slave, preventing him from drinking well water.

The fact that I haven't explained the situation just goes to show that Firorials are fellows with a formidable, wild intuition.

Filorial did well; I will prepare a reward for him later.

“Everyone do not drink the water” (Naofumi)

I gave instructions in a loud voice.

“What happened?” (Slaves)

“There is the possibility that the well has been poisoned.” (Naofumi)

“Is that so?” (Slaves)

“Such is the case. I will investigate a bit” (Naofumi)

I called for Rat, who had just finished treating the Caterpilland, and investigated the nearby well and the river.

Both were poisoned.

Fortunately bio plant is detoxifying and it’s said that they don’t sink into the earth.

However, upon close inspection, there were dead fish type monsters floating at the top of the river.

The sun sets. In the dark, the search of the criminal who poisoned the river didn't go well.

However, I found the corpse of demi-human adventurer upstream.

“Is this fellow the culprit?” (Naofumi)

“I don’t know” (Rat)

Rat checks the corpse like a doctor.

Did the demi-human poison my village? Even if I made a mistake, it isn’t a person of my village.

In the village which I command for the time being though I seem to be their God on the religion?

(Random editor: "I seem to be the God of his religion?" idk)

Is it people of the Silt Welt or Shirudo Furiden?

I cannot pinpoint which it is since the corpse who doesn’t speak.

“Earl, here, I wonder if you know?” (Rat)

Rat pointed at the corpse of demi-human.

“A paper is held in the hand. Something is written on it” (Rat)

“Can you read it?” (Naofumi)

“This is judgment for the person who calls himself a god.' But aren’t these letters Melromarc official language?” (Rat)

“What?” (Naofumi)

Wait a minute, did the radicals of the religion of the shield attack me?

No, since the Melromarc official language was used, that shouldn't be the case.

If it were, the official language of Silt Welt or Shirudo Furiden would have been used.

“Looks like you wrote and translated it well, it’s feeling that you got used to by understanding the habit of the characters right?"

(cannot find any better translation)

“Such a thing?” (Naofumi)

“Yes,then?” (Rat)

Rat picks up a medicine and drips it on the chest of the body of the demi-human.

Then on the chest of the body …… A slave crest rose faintly.

It is the slave crest which disappears if slaves die. Though they tried to cover it well, they couldn't deceive me

“It’s a slave I …… Oh, it is white” (Naofumi)

“Well” (Rat)

The slave who is demi-human of Silt Welt and Shirudo Furiden lets a poison run by a religious reason and commits suicide…,… would be impossible.

I hear in such countries that demi-humans human slaves have the same family/tribe crest

The possession of the paper and mystery of the slave crest is that to conceal a decisive reason.

Moreover it’s obvious that their wrath is aimed at me.

It's to display that they want me to be suspected.

I will let you make a human slave if it is me.

It is a very childish trick.

The one which made the criminal demi-humans affiliates or gave a bad impression and stood up …….

“Bury it carefully” (Naofumi)

“good?” (Rat)

“It is a victim. he would have came through a lot of hardships so far. At least I will treat the dead politely” (Naofumi)
