Book 2: Chapter 8
Which brings us to the present time.
We just crushed the sixth slave business and returned to the Earl’s mansion.
「We successfully took down another slave business today!」the young lady reported happily.
「I see. Good to hear that.」the Earl answered with the usual reply, smiling a little.
What was different from usual is that after this, I will have a once every 10 days “reporting session” with the Earl. The young lady was taken away by Sebas, the chief butler.
Only the Earl and I were left in the office.
The walls of the room were made of wood planks with beautiful grains. From those grains alone, you can guess each plank was costly even though it was a simple wall. I felt a certain pressure even though it was a simple room with no artistic decoration such as paintings and vases.
「Unfortunately, the search for the individual named Lulusha–」the Earl started, taking out the report as usual.
There wasn’t any notable information about the search for Lulusha-san and skill orbs with five or more stars. The Earl was bound by contract magic, so I don’t think he was lying.
