Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 28.2

“My father and the village chief will be delighted. Thank you very much.”

“Hmm. From now on, fulfill your responsibilities.”

“Understood.”

the Lord glared at the young lady once and then went inside the mansion.

“Young Lady, it was tough for you, so please take a bath or something. Maids, I leave the young lady to you.”

“Understood.”

All the maids gathered nodded, and the young lady, awakened by them, was led by the maids like a broken puppet, disappearing into the mansion.

Now then, one matter is settled… but not quite.

The final touch remains.

“What are you doing here?”

Startled by my voice, the other person turned around, surprised… and smiled.

“Beryl-kun! You did a great job this time!”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to Mr. Moose for promptly informing us.”

“Haha… That’s good to hear.”

“Mr. Moose, there’s something strange about it.”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the route the young lady was kidnapped from. She mentioned that she only realized it when she woke up. Considering the time… I think it might have happened around afternoon tea time.”

“I see… ”

“I’m guessing she might have been drugged or something… The problem is, how could they have kidnapped the young lady from her room after she fell asleep?”

“Well… I’m not sure. I also wanted to investigate how they managed to enter.”

“Really? Then, let’s investigate together! It seems that the Lord is focusing on countermeasures, so it would be helpful if someone else investigated with me.”

“R-right. So, where should we start investigating?”

“Well, there’s only one place to start.”

With a smile, I invited him, “Let’s go to the young lady’s room.”

Arriving at the young lady’s room and thoroughly searching it, we found no evidence.

At that moment, the young lady returned to the room.

Still with a terrible expression.

“Beryl…? What are you doing…?”

“When the young lady was kidnapped, I was searching for evidence of how it was done. I think the crime probably took place in this room. the young lady? Please sit there and watch.”

I pointed to the sofa, a little away from the young lady.

Without doubting anything, the young lady sat on the sofa and looked at me.

“Here?”

“Yes. You were sitting here and fell asleep. You remember that much, right?”

“Hmm… I vaguely remember that.”

“I see. The only way to take the young lady out of this room, besides the door, is through the terrace door here. But it would be quite difficult to come this far, wouldn’t it?”

“Yes… I think so.”

“In that case, there’s only one possibility.”

“One? What do you mean?”

“Surely… the real culprit is someone inside the mansion, someone familiar with the mansion. That’s what I think.”
