The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

The Great Sneaker of Chersea (Part 3)

I'm hungry.

I guess it's been a while since I ate. Looking around, I noticed that there were no windows in this room, and the atmosphere was suffocating. If I may put it, this was a dungeon.

Wait. Why am I even here?

"It seems you caught a big fish here, Mister Kuro."

It's the first time that I saw that armor-clad girl. She had a dignified stature, and her face told me she hailed from the nobility.

"My name is Dusis Louisa, the Marquise of Monfort. I'm the head of Her Holiness' Paladin Corps. Nice to meet you, Mister Kuro."

"Err..."

"Well, I know it's only now that we met." the Marquise of Monfort pulled a nearby chair and sat down, "It's because Her Holiness sent me on an errand and only got back just now."

No, not that. I don't intend to know that; what I want to ask is why am I here in the dungeon.

"Or you want to ask why are you here, at the dungeon?" the paladin chuckled, "Well, you're under investigation."

"Ha?" I couldn't believe my ears, "Why am I under suspicion? Didn't I help you capture that weird guy earlier?"

"Hmm? What did I just say?" the Marquise of Monfort paused and pondered.

"That I'm under investigation?"

"I...said that?"

"Well, yes!" I'm getting annoyed and sarcastic.

The Marquise of Monfort then suddenly let out an awkward, forced laugh, "Haha...sorry bud! What I mean is, I'm investigating the incident so I'll be questioning you. You're not a suspect, let me be clear, so don't worry!"

"Then why am I in the dungeon?"

"Oh, this is for 'setting the mood'. Look!" the paladin pushed the hanging light, and it rocked back and forth, "If I do this, it looks like a legitimate interrogation."

Yes...indeed it looks like an interrogation scene from a movie. But wait a minute, do we even need this kind of atmosphere? This is just for questioning, right? And...I'm hungry...

"This is stupid," I muttered.

"Do you want your hands to be tied at the back for added drama?" the Marquise of Monfort asked, pulling out a loop of rope from inside her armor.

"Uhh...can we go directly to the questions? I'm starving."

"Oh, right." the paladin clapped her hands, "You can eat while we—wait! Supposedly this is an interrogation. The more famished you are, the better the tension! You can't eat—guoh!"

I heard a loud 'clang', caused by a metal helmet that hit the Marquise's head. Her eyes rolled white and fell unconscious. Behind her was another girl with an indifferent expression; on her hands was the helmet she used to silence the other paladin.

"Dame Sasha Atkins, vice-captain of Paladin Corps." the new arrival gave me a tray of food, "Here, eat!"

Finally! A reasonable person appeared!

The moment I finished eating, was the time when Dame Atkins began her line of questions.

"Name?" she asked, with a pen and paper in hand.

"Kuro."

"What happened?"
