nThe first night of the journey to Talesu on the carriage.

nThe girls had done meetings to a certain extent, but since Teresa and Yuan joined, they need to confirm again about their plan.

nThe place is in a simple tent that Mile pulls out from storage, as usual.

nFor caution, Mile used magic for soundproofing.

n“… That’s why we have to finalize his crime first, because we still don’t know if those men are telling the truth or not.

nAnd even if those men speak the truth, still It will take a lot of time to confirm everything”

nWith Mile’s explanation, Rena was quite upset because we all knew that he’s a bad guy, but she was convinced because they still need evidence.

nThe same was said at the last meeting, but in the end Rena agreed.

nBesides, it will take a lot of time and effort to confirm the facts of the request.

nRegardless of the case of an past robbery, it’s obvious that he hired those C rank hunters.

nIt is a sufficient criminal act with kidnappings and killings the king’s citizens, so if we can confirm it, there’s nothing wrong with conviction.

nOf course, they also ask the authorities to torture and ask about the past criminal.

nTeresa originally didn’t intend to help or stop the girls’ action. But she still keeps listening to the plan so she can be a witness later, and Yuan never opposed it because he also thought that a careful investigation in advance was necessary.

nAnd on the evening of the fourth day, after departing from the kingdom, the horse-drawn carriage arrived to the hometown of Pauline, a town where she grew up, the town where Beckett’ company located.

nEven though it isn’t as big as capital city, it is one of the biggest cities in the kingdom’s territory.

n“Well, for the time being we should find an inn.” (Rena)

nAs usual Rena was the one decided everything, and after a while, we reached the inn.

nThe inn is recommended by Pauline

n“A guest house isn’t good, we should stay in a shady one. One quadruple room and two single rooms. As a matter of course, Yuan-san will get a separate room, Teresa-san will also take a separate room. Because we will not be able to talk if Teresa-san is there.” (Pauline)

n“One quadruple room, two single rooms, do you have free rooms?” (Rena)

nRena asked the receptionist so, the man opened his eyes as if he were a little surprised.

nThis inn isn’t an inn that young women want to stay.

nHowever because it’s cheap, even a slightly staggering will be okay, customers will not notice it and can stay normally, sometimes female customers will come.

nBut what the man was surprised with was the appearance of a girl behind Rena.

nShort black hair overflowing from the covered hood. And two eyes looking through the gap of the bandage wrapped in her face.

nEven for a receptionist who is accustomed with shady customers, this girl was scattered an odor that rarely seen. Probably this girl is the strangest customer of this month..

nHowever, the man is also a receptionist. Even he is surprised, he still answered calmly.

n“It’s okay, how many nights will you stay?” (Receptionist)

n“Undecided, I will tell you the day before we leave.” (Rena)

nRena said so, confirmed the accommodation fee, meals etc, and received the key.

nThat dubious girl with black hair is, of course, Pauline.

nHer hair had been dyed with dyed powder before getting on the carriage, but the bandage are after they leave the carriage in the city.

nPauline wasn’t tying the bangage before getting on the carriage because it wasn’t good to draw attention from other passengers while traveling, and also Pauline couldn’t bear shame. (T.N: And I thought Pauline was a Chuuni)

nThe hair color could be solve if she dyed it. If she use dyed powder, her hair will be damaged, but either Pauline or Mile can fix it with healing magic. They can also erase the dyed powder with clean magic to remove the color.

nThe four girls went into the room quickly and took a break until dinner time.

nIf you are riding a horse-drawn carriage, you get strong vibrations, painful buttocks, and both physical, mental tired.

nYuan seemed to be taking a rest in his own room. Teresa put the luggage in the room and went out to report with the guild.

n***

nThe next morning, we all went out after breakfast.

nBecause it is conspicuous that the six people move in together, we divided the team into three.

nBecause today is only information gathering, if we divide our members, we will gather more information.

nFirst, Maevis and Yuan. We knew that Yuan could not approve to part with other people.

nNext, Rena and Teresa.

nLast, Mile and Pauline.

nIt’s unlikely that anyone other than Pauline will be in danger, now that no action has yet taken place.

nSo, Rena and Maevis decided to attach Mile, which is the most powerful person among the four, to Pauline.

nTeresa seems like wanted to go with Mile, but she has not put in to words.

nBesides, Teresa plays a minimum role as a party member and doesn’t intend to participate in the dispute. Teresa was chosen for this role only because she had appearance close to the four girls of 『Red Oath』.

nBeside, there will be a problem with pairing with Pauline, which is most likely to be disputed. So Teresaand Rena, Mile and Pauline, we could not think of anything other than these combinations.

nThe three teams diverged and headed to the place according to their search purpose.

nRena go to the guild with Teresa. Maevis and Yuan went to the area where many stores gathered.

nAnd Mile went ent down to the residential area with Pauline who had disguised as much as possible by wrapping the banded face and cover by hood.

n***

nAnd that evening.

nAfter finishing each survey and returning to the inn, they got together into a quadruple room after having dinner.

n“Well, I will put together the information that everyone gathered” (Rena)

nAs always, Rena is the one who start again.

n“First of all, we have information from the guild.

nIt seems that the five C rank hunters occasionally hired by Beckett, and they haven’t been seen for about ten days.

nThey were hired frequently when he need illegal work, not through the guild.

nFrom their names and appearances, they must be those people that attack us.

nAlso, apart from that, he seems to hire other people without hunter qualifications.

nAnd this time he also hire an expert hunter for personal escort.” (Rena)

n“People in the shopping area is almost the same for the last six months. As usual, even if Beckett use brute force for business and crime and no matter what he does, he won’t get caught.

nAnd it seems that the victims are always punished by the constitutional authority for some reason.

nIt seems that there are many shops and people feel disgusted with the inconvenience from Beckett.

nMy third Ani-sama heard it from the female clerks” (Maevis)

nWith Maevis’ report, Yuan makes a proud face. And four girls other than Maevis draw to the fact that Yuan’s info is limited to female.

n“The testimony of the captured men in the capital seems to have not changed. If anything happen, the guild master should inform us immediately.

nIt is already seven days since we left, and if they use horseracing, the mesage can arried in one day and a half from the kingdom’ capital.

nTheose men probably be sent directly to the royal palace’ torture room, I don’t think they can bear the much interrogate.” (Teresa)

nTeresa’s explanation is decisive, it seems like we can be sure about Beckett’ crime.

nInitially, Mile afraid that Beckett can pretend like he doesn’t know those hunters that undertakes illegal work to avoid crime. But it looks like a miscast.

nIt is different from the modern earth judicial system, so circumstantial evidence alone is sufficient. Mile thought so.

nAnd Mile suggested that the four of them will come to revenge and kill Beckett but everyone reject it. Because it’s useless to just defeat the bad guys with the assassination. We must do it without collapsing the shop and so both Pauline, her mother and brother can properly get back to the shops.

nAnd the 『Red Oath』 squeezed their wisdom.

n***

nThe next day, when the second bell of the morning (morning 9 o’clock) echoed in the town.

nThere are four people in front of Beckett’s newly opened store.

nThey are four girls. And the smallest among them, a girl from about eleven to twelve years old, took out something like a cymbal from no-where.

nJa~n! (SFX)

nSuddenly, the surrounding people stopped and focused on the girls with a loud sound that was unfamiliar to them.

nJa~n! Ja~n! Ja~n! (SFX)

nAfter a further sound, the girl shouted loudly.

n“This girl is a victim ~de gozaru, and today she come for revenge ~de gozaru

n『Chichioya』was killed, the shop left by 『Chichioya』 was robbed, 『Hahaoya』was forced to married her husband killer ~de gozaru!

nEveryone (皆々様: Minaminasama), please don’t get in the way, and please becareful that you won’t get hit by magic!” (Mile)

nIt was a revenge battle in the morning.

nPeople’ eyes are shining.

nThis is a world with less amusement.

nThis seems an interesting thing that they are unlikely to see again for many years.

nBesides, the protagonists are pretty girls, enemies are unscrupulous bad deeds merchants that everyone feels disgusted.

nThey don’t even need to confirm that which one is right and which one is wrong.

nPeople began to gather and the Beckett’s shop were filled with a large crowd.

nAnd Rena muttered.

n“What is『De~ gozaru』?”
