Chapter 410: Cleaning up and Roasting
When I returned to the carriage, Titan had carried the men that Sophia and the girls defeated and Kaede had restrained to one place.
「Are you done dealing with the assassins?」
「Can’t fool you, huh, Marnie?」
「Yes. I can smell blood from you, dear Husband.」
It seems I couldn’t deceive a Beastkin’s nose. That said, it wasn’t like Marnie was criticizing me, she was genuinely just worried about me.
「So what do we do about these guys?」
Akane kicked the unconscious attackers as she asked. You’re a girl, don’t do that.
「We’ll know immediately if they’re from the Dark Guild, so we can take the few that have their name tags to the next city.」
「This should serve as a warning for those stupid nobles.」
This would be a warning to the nobles that fought with us. I think this would be severe warning to the professional killers related to the Dark Guilds. If they still come for revenge to save face, then fine. The next time, total destruction.
「It’s annoying, but a massacre would probably not be bad.」
「It’s easier like that nya.」
A massacre… Akane seems to really have been dyed by this world. Lulu-chan is even more extreme……
「Okay, we’ll hand over the mercenaries and those from the Dark Guild in the city, but what do we do about the soldiers of the nobles?」
「Can’t we just unbind and leave them here?」
There were two people who were clearly the noble’s soldiers based on their equipment. At least wear equipment that doesn’t stand out, man.
「The spies in the back would also be difficult to deal with.」
「Hmm, should we chop them up?」
What Maria was indicating were the spies who had been surveilling us for the past few days. Kaede then said frightening words cutely. I wouldn’t do that.
「Aside from the soldiers, we’ll hand them over as thieves later to the Adventurers Guild. Leave the soldiers.」
「Indeed. If no one returns, it would not be a warning.」
Deciding as such, we teleported to the closest city with the enemies. Just in case, we teleported to a spot off the road slightly away from the city, then they were loaded into a wagon and fastened to the carriage.
「Wh- what is that!?」
The gatekeeper exclaimed in surprise. I suppose it would be surprising seeing more than 30 restrained people showing up at the entrance of the Sanctuary.
「They attacked us so we retaliated.」
We showed the gatekeeper our guild cards and explained the situation. Learning that we were high rank adventurers, the gatekeeper was surprised for a second time.
「Please excuse my rudeness. Thank you for cooperating. We will take custody of them, so please present this document to the Guild. There is a reward, after all. And although it’s small, you may also receive money when these thieves become criminal slaves.」
「Thank you very much.」
I thanked them and headed to the city’s Adventurers Guild.
Akane asked me about the question that popped in her mind regarding the selling price of the thieves.
「Are criminal slaves cheap?」
「Even if they can’t go against the slave contract, no one really wants criminal slaves.」
「I suppose so.」
She was satisfied with that simple of an answer.
After that. we received the money at the Adventurers Guild, then left again for the border.
「They really were cheap.」
「Considering how cheap they’re be sold for, I’m sure they’d wished they didn’t do bad things.」
We received money from selling 30 people who had fallen to criminal slavery, but it was not a price that people should be sold for.
I wish these mercenaries had just done their job normally……
「Well, we have no room to be compassionate.」
「That’s right. Those guys would have captured Sophia-san without injuring her but they would have played with us then sell us!」
Yeah, we definitely heard them when they were about to attack us. That makes me angry.
Akane was enraged remembering it. Their mouths were also the source of their misfortune. That was one of the reasons why the women in our team hit them so hard that they fainted.
「Those stupid nobles would probably have the report from the soldiers. If they still want to come at us despite that, then we go all out.」
「Shouldn’t that be alright? When we set those two free, everyone coerced them with all their power, so we scared those two to the point they may have peed their pants.」
Nah, Maria also definitely went all out scaring them.
In reality, those two soldiers may have been rendered useless after this.
Being surrounded by us and our familiars, they might feel like they can’t go out to places.
「Well, we’ll return this time. To our home.」
We boarded the carriage Tsubaki pulls, and we we were on our way back to the border.
We could teleport to the Sanctuary in an instant, but I want this trip to really feel like a proper honeymoon to the very end.
