Chapter 370 – Putting the Wholesaler’s Gang in Jail 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
Luka and I talked over what we should do until the evening.
Then Leah, Leo and the other F ranked adventurers came home.
When the guild master greeted them, Cruz ran out and said,
「Glad you’re back safe!」
「Y…yeah…」
「Were you okay in the blizzard?」
「Yeah, we had a plan for collection and it wasn’t too hard.」
「It’s good when you can get stuff done easily as an adventurer! Glad to hear!」
「Ah, yeah…thanks…」
Seems that the F rankers were a bit scared to talk to someone in a lion mask.
Only Leah and Leo knew that it was Cruz and they stood there snickering.
Cruz just kept on talking,
「Sorry about this since you just got here, but, I have a quest for you!」
「A quest?」
The F rankers looked a bit scared and looked over at the guild master.
「She’s dressed strange, but you can trust her.」
「Oh…is that so?」
「Just relax…pretend it’s a quest from me.」
「If it’s from you as well, Luka, then we’re happy to take it!」
The F rankers looked relieved that Luka was asking for the same thing.
Since Luka had introduced herself and stated her position, they all trusted her.
「So let me explain the quest to you.」
So Luka carefully explained the situation to them.
She needed him to watch over the prisoners until the agent showed up.
So she explained the points step by step they needed to watch for.
「Is that all we need to do?」
「Pretty much…」 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ
So the F rankers decided to take up watching the prisoners.
After hearing a detailed explanation about how to provide food to the prisoners, we all went to the prison.
I asked the guild master,
「Where is the wholesaler and others now?」
「In the monster cells.」
「Shouldn’t we not let them talk to each other?」asked Vi-Vi.
「The questioning is over and Yureena’s still watching them.」
「I didn’t even notice she wasn’t here!」
Vi-Vi seemed to jump. I noticed she wasn’t here as well.
「I’ll go call for her and the others.」
「Thanks Cruz.」
「No problem, come with me Femm and Moofy.」
「Wuff」「Moo moo!」
So Cruz left and came back with Yureena and the wholesaler and his crew.
「Yureena, thanks.」
「Wait, who’s this kid?」
「Name’s Tant…」
Tant saw the wholesaler, jumped, and said,
「Hyaaaaa, sorry! Sorry!」
He was terrified.
「It’s okay.」
Luka held Tant close.
「Did this guy do something to you?」
「We’ll ask when he settles down. We need to get the wholesaler and others out of here.」
「Okay, Al.」
So we got the wholesaler away from Tant.
Best to calm him down right away.
「Yureena, Luka, I’ll leave him to you.」
「Sure.」
So we carried them all to the jail on Moofy’s back.
The F rankers followed us there as well.
On the way, I asked the wholesaler,
「What did you do to that kid?」
「Can’t remember doing anything.」
He said, but I saw his eyes shift away.
「I see. Well, we’ll see.」
I said, and the wholesaler seemed to relax.
When we got there, I explained all the magical circles to the F rankers.
「What a system!」
「Sure is!」
Vi-Vi said, proudly.
「Pretty nice place to live for a jailer!」said Vi-Vi.
「It is quite warm.」
「Yeah! We also set out some food and tea for you to have until next afternoon.」
「What, really?」
「Sure. We have to ask you to do work that adventurer’s never do. This is the least we can give you. If you need anything else, please ask.」
「Thank you!」
Then I told the wholesaler’s group.
「If you fight, you’ll get electrocuted.」
「Sure, we promise not to.」
「You’re not lying?」
「No, we understand what will happen.」
I’m sure we scared him enough.
With how small the cell is, though, there’s no doubt they’ll fight.
Then if they did, they’d get hit by lightning and wonder what happened, so best to tell them.
「So, what DID you do to that kid?」
「…huh?」
「Don’t say ‘huh’ to us.」
「I didn’t do anything.」
I silently set off the non-fighting ring.
—-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz
The cage was hit with a light shock of lightning.
「「「GYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」」」
They all cried out from the pain of being shocked.
Seeing this, Vi-Vi said,
「It’s not strong enough to KILL you!」
「Ah…o…okay…」
The F Rankers looked quite scared as well.
「What did you do to that kid?」
「…n…nothing, I…」
Set off the switch, they screamed again.
Then they calmed down again, and I asked again,
「So what did you do?」
「S…sure! I’ll tell you! Just please…」
The wholesaler said, terrified.
