"Walter-sama! There's a miracle happening!" A merchant guild employee opened Walter's office door abruptly.

"What's wrong? Don't startle me damn it!" asked Walter who were writing something "The wagon carrying the food supplies has just arrived! All the foodstuffs they brought are still intact!" The employee reported.

"What!?" Walter was shocked.

"How can this be? The mercenaries should have looted the supply wagon's cargo as usual" Walter thought as he hurriedly walks towards the entrance of the merchant guild.

"Oh, good morning Walter" Greeted Marco who saw Akira along with Alexia, Iris and Colette unloading the luggage of the supply wagon.

"Ah!" Walter was surprised to see Marco "What are you doing here?".

"I'm just looking at the miracle where the supply wagon safely arrived in this town" A number of Alemann soldiers alongside Elise, Lucy and Ashley also arrived around Marco.

"ah, you three!" Walter recognized Elise, Lucy and Ashley.

Suddenly, a soldier began to hold Walter's hands behind his back "Don't move!" another soldier immediately handcuffed him.

"Wait, what the hell is this!?" Walter protested when his hands is restrained.

"I believe you've met the adventurers I hired to investigate the reason for the food crisis in this Krool town" Marco looked at Elise, Lucy and Ashley.

"They're apparently members of the adventurer party that I also hired to protect the wagon carrying the foodstuffs" Hearing herself being talked about, Akira walked forward to face Marco while accompanied by Colette, Alexia and Iris.

"Interestingly, they said that the bandits who attacked the wagon carrying the food supplies were your men" Marco raised his voice "and the bandits also said all the food supplies they stole were given to you".

"Even these three girls also admitted that someone wanted to kill them yesterday. During interrogation, that person admitted that he was given orders by you" Marco pointed at Elise, Lucy and Ashley.

"hoo, apparently the truth potion works" Akira commented to Lucy in whispered tone.

"Ma-Maybe the bandits are just accusing me" Walter tried to find an alibi.

"Maybe" Marco commented "To be sure, I already sent my soldiers to search your resident".

"What!?"

An Alemann soldier arrived and whispered something in Marco's left ear, "oh by chance their search is over."

"They have found more than enough foodstuffs to feed the townspeople of Krool".

"Huh?" A number of merchants, wagon riders and guild employees around both men were shocked.

"So you paid bandits to steal foodstuffs for you to stockpile for yourself. With the scarce foodstuffs available in the merchant guild, you can sell them at a very high price" Akira concluded Walter's crime. Almost like a detective in a mystery novel.

"That's right" Marco responded to Akira's conclusion and began to unfold a rolled up paper.

"Walter Wheatbrow, you are arrested on charges of theft, extortion with victims consisting of entire Krool townspeople and conspiracy because you supported the attempted assassination of the mayor of Colceth city".

"By the special authority bestowed to me by The Crown Princess Henrietta von Hohenzollern, you will be sentenced to imprisonment for the rest of your life. All appeals for leniency will neither be accepted nor granted".
