The Adventure of a Boy with the Mind of a Middle-Aged Man

I stepped into the back and not long after, I received the news that Shicho had been captured from Hatch's subordinate bees.

Hereafter comes the report of apprehension of Laguna's staff and their execution one after another. Everyone is filled with fighting spirit, for this is the revenge of Gill for them. It doesn't seem necessary for me to move. So I took action to prioritize the safety of captured children. And finally, the children from the prison were released but 一一

"Good gracious, I was wondering what kind of idiot is it to attack the second district, which have such a shit rule but to thought it's you"

A black haired young boy who has become a prisoner of war muttered as he shook his head.

"Hmm? I wonder if we have ever met each other? As far as I recall, this seems to be our first meeting though?"

"That's right, this is the first meeting with you. Though I know enough about you"

I can't seem to read his intention at all. He appears to know about me but I'm almost sure we have never met in actuality.

"Anyway, I wish you could give me some time. If I return empty handed as it is, I would surely be scolded by my mother"

Mother..... That's a name that can be taken any way you want.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't care"

It gives me creeps to know only my opponent knows about me but now vice-versa. There will be a meeting in the future. It should be fun to meet with the mother of this young boy.

"Then, as soon as this mess of mass arrest is over, please comes to this place in the first district"

The black haired young boy gave me a scrap of paper with a map depicted on it and took the stairs of the dungeon to go out.

Judging from his appearance and carefreeness, he seems to have infiltrated this place as a spy on the order of that mother to collect the information.

We, the Sagami Company, decided to take the young woman, teenage boys and girls under our protection until the judgment is passed. To be frank, it's all because I don't have a shred of confidence or trust to leave them to the imperial government unconditionally.

However the aristocrats whose life or death doesn't matter and Laguna's executive are different. So I have aristocats guest and Laguna's survivor hand over to court official Luca. Just Shicho only, who seems to have enough information, has been entrusted to Hatch to extract information. Once I get all the information, I will just hand him to Baron Hakuro. He seems to have deep feud with Laguna apparently, so it's also necessary to sell him some favor.

To begin with, it's the story only if he's not destroyed by Hatch, but if it happens, then so be it. I don't really care.

Now that the disturbance has been stabilized, I'm heading for the location instructed by the black haired young man.

It was a Church in the corner of the first district, a slum.

"Is it really here?"

I was thinking that the young boy is a government or army spy but why church? Did I mistake the place?

"Ahh, I was waiting for you, Lord Grey"

The black haired young man from earlier appeared out of the building, gave me a light bow and led me by saying "please here".

The Church building was considerably worn out but it was spacious and filled with warmth. And what left the profound impression on me is the expression of the children, the residents of this church, in the monastery garments.

"It seems there are only children?"

"Yeah, mother absolutely didn't allow the kids to be clergy or nun. Everyone is picked and raised by mother but they graduate from this Church once they have grown up and find new families. That's why there are no adults"

In other words, this is an orphanage. This persona called mother seemed to be quite womanly. It surely piqued my interest.

After walking for a while, we came to a temple-like worship facility. And on the altar of that facility, a hulkish build man dressed in monastery clothes was offering his prayers.

"Mother, I brought the Lord Grey"

The hulkish man turned to me and said,

"Lord Grey, welcome to our monastery. I'm Schildre Laval, please act as you fit"

He greeted me while lightly bending his waist.

The name of Shildre Laval is famous in the empire. He's the head of the purebred aristocrats and one of the confidants of Ex-Emperor Iskandar. He possesses the strongest military power in the empire. So far these are the good rumors.

It's his childhood hobby and in Schildre's house, there are only young kids and that they are the outlets for his lust, regardless of boy or girl.

However such rumors can be deemed as lies from a single look at his blissful expression. To begin with, it's for orphanage purposes, so of course there would be children only.

Geez, it seems I still have a long way to go. Being led by nonsense rumors and muddling by my eyes, I'm not in a position to act conceited towards Lennox.

"Thank you for your help in exterminating those idiots this time"

There, Schildre bowed to me, who was only a young kid. A person whose outward appearance and inner content doesn't match at all.

"You don't have to, my friends were also captured and I was also at my patience limit"

"Fufufu, patience limit. Laguna wasn't such a lukewarm organization that could have been crushes by that intention alone"

"Surely you jest. Even though you yourself could have crushed something like Laguna alone"

His average status is A+. He surpasses even the Iskandar himself if it's body strength alone. Unexpectedly, he was one of the strongest class beings in this world. In that case, there are many inscrutable things.

"I'm the sword and shield of His majesty the Ex-Emperor. In short, a soldier. I can't shake those idiots, lurking in the second district, with the military power."

"That's just the official front at best. There are as many methods as you like if it's to pass through the tile they have laid out"

Schildre nodded in satisfaction,

"Because you can do that, you're brave through and through. It's not something to do casuals like you"

[I also agree with what the old man has said. I too think hwo nice it would be if master can learn more about himself]

Said Mura with his unprecedented seriou voice. Speaking of which, he doesn't seem to be speaking much recently. If it was a bit before, he would have been irritated and explained above the female body. Well even so, he still jumps on beautiful women and lets his fantasies run wild.

I was about to deny it but I missed the timing due to Mura's interruption, so I guess I should change the topic. Well, just right, I also have something to ask.

"Anyway, why didn't you dispatch your troops at the time of undead assault?"

This person could have crushed them alone with much less sacrifices.

"I had the reason to not move away from the capital at that time. No matter what is sacrificed. How? Do you despise me?"

"No, I'm the same as you. If not for the step mother coercion, I was going to pretend to not see it. It was just luck that I went off to deal with it. I sympathize with them much, but I despise them very, very much"

"Fufufu, you really are an interesting person. That might be so, why His Majesty wanted to bet on you"

"His Majesty thought of a bet? Are you talking about Iskandar?"

"I seem to have talked a bit too much. This is the end of the topic. Let's play with children tonight. There are also many kids who dream of joining the Sagami Company in the future, everyone will love it"

"I will surely if you're fine with me"

As I rose from my seat and turned on my heels to head towards the room children has gathered,

"Lord Grey"

"Yes?"

"You're an upright and good boy. So no matter what happens, follow the path you believe in"

A child's treatment to me...... This person is really oddball..

"I see, thank you for your advice"

This time, I left the room.
