Chapter 335 – The Phantom Thief? Detective! (One)
“I ate one last night, Lalilura.”
Dana laughed, running her fingers through her hair that was pressed down in her sleep.
She’s not angry, it’s more like she’s sulking at being caught off guard and taken a punch.
Apparently, our Nunna initially looked at Fran’s notice, but since Fran didn’t seem to care much, it seems that she herself decided not to care about this.
In fact, haven’t we all been aware of Ralilura’s feelings and secretly had ninja sex?
Thanks to all these circumstances, after taking Lalilura back, I almost got into trouble on the cushion of thorns in a subtle atmosphere.
‘Phew…’
I consciously controlled my expression and let out a sigh of relief.
You might say it’s new since you’ve already brought in three wives, but in reality, you couldn’t help it.
The worry that the relationship between family members might be cracked is a pointless concern, but my heart shrivels.
Acting confidently in polygamy is like that only in front of others.
If you act like a forager even to your family, that’s a bitch. That said, it would be ridiculous to go through a pre-screening by other wives every time he gets a new wife.
It was fortunate that her wives were prepared as well, as everyone noticed that Rari Lura liked me.
“Eww…”
Even so, Lalilura was terrified while keeping an eye on it. Dana laughed.
“Puhh. We are, Rari Lura. Didn’t you think that you would put us to bed and boss her husband when you were pouring her a drink?”
“Ehehe… Sorry…”
Lalilura apologized in a charming way.
A sincere apology, but not making the atmosphere heavy was a skill, if anything. Veronica shook her head as if she were stitching up her mouth.
“… I’m keeping my mouth shut There is probably no other situation where the word in-law is so appropriate.”
“Yes. That’s why Rari Lura’s eyes were looking at Norr, and she wasn’t looking at her friend or her older brother, just by looking at it roughly.”
“Did you think I was hiding it?”
“Women don’t stare at the profile of a man they’re not interested in? It’s a coincidence that she has to be a couple of times.
“Auuuuu…”
Due to Dana’s simple objection, the Lalilura sank. At such a comical reaction, we all laughed together.
Although all five of us were surrounded by the family fence, it seemed that there would be no major change in our party relationship.

After having breakfast and a simple chat like that.
“Keuheum, big.”
I cleared my throat when I could barely regain control of the story.
“Anyway, this officially makes Priscilla a member of our family, but the fundamental purpose of our business trip remains unresolved.”
“… Seo, senior? Normally, it would be nice if you could just call me Ralilura, right?”
“Think about it.”
Let’s leave Lari Lura with her red face pouting her mouth for now. I put aside many thoughts and brought up her story.
“… As I said a few days ago, I found out about Tyrsi’s whereabouts from the warlock I defeated.”
“I received an additional request based on the contents from Lady Hennessis.”
“Yes. The warlock was suspicious of his request and as a result of investigation, it turned out that Tyrsi was now in a noble residence in a Romanian province called Lenapolis.”
I said as I pulled out the letter.
“The reason for the invitation appears to be a dinner party——but in reality it seems to be an ‘engagement’.”
Awesome, that’s what I found out.
I couldn’t believe it at first, to the point where I wondered if the warlock’s memories were fabricated.
My God, are you engaged?
What kind of crazy bastard wants the mafia to kidnap the person he proposes to? There are degrees to the bad boy concept.
Even if you are a serious addict of romance novels, if you are kidnapped by kkakdugi thugs, your first impression will be that you are a gang sponsor.
However, as a result of the warlock’s investigation, evidence that could be proven true was found. At least the bastard who ordered the abduction was seriously thinking of marrying Tyrsi.
“You mean that as a concubine?”
Dana clicked her tongue as she frowned.
“Mr. Tyrsi, you are a fallen noble. I can’t see it as an ordinary talk about getting married after falling in love.”
“At the time of the kidnapping, that was already confirmed. She must have secretly taken Tyrsi out of the city and put her in her family’s wagon, but the fact that she uses such a method in itself is proof that she is dishonorable.”
I said that and half-opened my eyes.
Tyrsi had said it before. She said that if a fallen aristocratic woman like herself wants to regain her nobility, the fastest and surest way is for her to marry an aristocrat.
Perhaps Tyrsi came to Romania for some other reason – after receiving a letter from her aunt who said she was a former servant – and she was brought into the family.
“But, according to common sense, would there be a class of people with vested interests who would enjoy seeing a political party’s daughter reinstate?”
Even if it’s just a medieval land role-playing game that was on the 21st century earth right now, isn’t it normal for the family of the target to be purged unless they are rooted out?
Even the powerful men of Romania would not have welcomed Tyrsi back to her nobility with applause.
In other words, it means that the kidnapper who accepts it is also a crazy person.
“That bastard, the warlock, thought so too, and thought there must be a reason, so he tried to infiltrate the archer’s house.”
“Uh. She must have thought that if she was from the same first Senate family, she would know why.”
The evil plan to kill Primor’s husband and take over his skin was started from there.
I feel sorry for the people who have been sacrificed for such an unfunny reason.
“But Nor. If Mr. Tyrsi is willing to accept the engagement… Wouldn’t it be too far-fetched for us to interfere more than this?”
Fran said as if she was worried about that.
In a way, that was a reasonable opinion. Whatever the reason, Tyrsi was a person who lived with a single-minded desire to return to the nobility.
I don’t know what the kidnapper was up to, but if he accepted her betrothal and became a noble, she might not refuse.
“That’s true, but Lady Hennessis didn’t seem to think so. I agree with you on that.”
The letter Veronica had received was of that kind.
I turned my gaze to the letter in my hand.
She——I haven’t heard from Tirsi, but I’ve heard that her return to the nobility isn’t an urgent business. Will she really accept this sudden engagement? I’m worried about that.
—So, everyone. Please listen to Tyrsi’s sincerity and come.
“… After reading the letter, it is said that Romanian nobles have to go through procedures even when getting engaged.”
I said as I closed Lady Hennessis’ letter.
“It’s not an engagement that can be done in one or two months right now. Tirshi must still be imprisoned under the pretext of being her guest.”
They are neither engaged nor married.
If it were a simple guest, even if Tirsi threw away her note and disappeared, the kidnapping law would not be able to wield the power of Yangji.
“Then, going back like this is a bit of a stomach ache?”
Dana grins and smiles her own way.
I agree 100% too. An acquaintance was dragged into a Mongolian kidnapping marriage. Live strong in Romania! Where does it make sense to say tungchi?
In addition, the client, who is a noble, is in a situation where he wants to rub it more. I didn’t have the spirit to go back after receiving that letter.
What the fuck is wrong with you? You want me to go back to Sargadis and start a reverse revolution? Nord von Hennessis’ ascension had crossed the line.
“Anyway, so we can join the local collaborator that Young Ae will hire and contact Tirsi in Lenapolis.”
“Hmm. By the time we get to the city, the noble nun’s codification must have reached the collaborator.”
“I guess so.”
Considering the average movement speed of the former western district, if we started from now on, we would be able to start acting with our local collaborators just in time.
Then Rari Lura raised her hand.
“Then, senior~♡? Are you going to fly by
“No. I was thinking about it, but I’m thinking of joining the carriage procession that Dana saved.”
It is prudent to store the mana for
In order to come up with an alibi for the travel time, I had to set aside a few days anyway.
“A procession? Oh, a regular caravan?”
Larry Lura blinked her eyes and thumped her hand.
“You know me? That’s right. She’s got a spot on that one.”
“Aha♡? I am Romanian too. Half of my 20 years of life was spent abroad!”
A caravan, in which peddlers and other travelers move in droves, was one of the last resorts to survive in this harsh other world. If there are dozens or hundreds of pages, the thieves will not be able to attack.
It’s hard to see in other countries, but it’s a common occurrence in Romania or the Kitai desert in the East.
“So, the departure of the first caravan in the new year is scheduled for lunch today. We join the procession and go to Lenapolis.”
After looking at my watch, I told the others.
“Let’s try a little harder. This business trip is not far away.”
The time to wait for a contact with a collaborator has passed.
The business trip is over when he goes to give the gift of freedom to Tirsi, who is now safe.
As for me, I just hoped that Tyrsi would never refuse our hand.
***
Romania’s caravan was bigger than I thought.
The target of the caravan that Dana recognized saw us and greeted us like that.
For merchants, connections with archaeologists are quite useful.
It was good to have an archaeologist who knew when something like an artifact rolled right into the upper ranks, or when discovering a ruin while peddling.
That’s why, as a doctor of archeology and director of the Sargadis Research Center, our eyes were able to enlist our party as an escort in the caravan.
〈This is Dana Verbeia. I look forward to.〉
Drake said, slapping his bulging stomach.
‘No big thieves have run into this mighty caravan! If you do get hurt, the missionaries from the Church of Janus will treat you right away!”
Dana, who had cut her losses like a knife, was visibly disgusted as she returned to us.
“Khehehe. For a target person, he was blatantly dark?”
“Shut the fuck up. That human might be undressing his wife in her head?”
“No, when you say that, you suddenly want to go and beat him. Shall I not stand it?”
“Just be patient. It’s been a few days at least.”
It is a well-known fact that Dana is also a beauty, although there are many cases where her face is not worth it. Maybe we’re used to this sort of thing, but we only shrugged our eyes and let it go.
If that human doesn’t want to be on the caravan blacklist, he won’t bother us. A light vigilance would suffice.
I thought so and joined the caravan procession.
When the middle-aged man, who seemed to be the representative of the procession, gave such a command, the procession of wagons went out into the meadow, raising dust.
Because we were hired as adventurers, we couldn’t get into the carriage. Instead, it will help Fran and Lalilura’s promotion. It’s not like we’re going to be goofy enough to walk for a few days.
And really, that’s not what we had to worry about.
I thought ahead. It is said that ‘the big caravan with many pages will not be touched by the dicks.’
But if you put it the other way around——it meant ‘If you’re a thief playing in the big water, you can aim for a caravan that’s big enough for prey’.
I realized that when I was staying awake that morning and passing the boring time with my thoughts.
As always today, trouble came to me first.
