Chapter 9.5: Side-Story: Judith, afterwards (LN Content)
And here it is, the real, final, last piece of content from volume 1. Now we start volume two for real!
It had been eleven days since Judith’s encounter with Bash.
On that particular morning, the Knight had been ordered to patrol the streets along with her men.
The highway incident case had been closed, but she had been instructed to keep an eye on the premises, just in case they had missed any stragglers from the cave bandits.
The same people that had just “solved” the case had been given a useless, boring task.
In other words, it was a punishment.
Houston was rational above all else. He needed to punish them for violating his orders, but he also thought house arrest was a big waste of time and resources.
Two days of house arrest, and a single day of useless, menial work.
“I won’t be admonishing you any further in this aspect. The true punishment is hard work every single day from now on.”
