Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 429

After the raid on the Grandek family of the Fox people.

The letter sent by the father to them can be roughly divided into four parts.

[First, a group of foxn of unknown origin attacked a workshop in Bardia territory.

Second, a group of attackers crossed the border of Bardia and fled into the territory of the Foxn.

Third, the damage to the workshop caused by the attack was minimal, and the technicians kidnapped by the attackers were recovered by the Knights of Bardia.

Fourth, as ntioned above, in addition to the attack on the Bardia territory by a group of foxn, the perpetrators attempted to flee to the territory of the foxn in an attempt to abduct the Bardia technicians.

These are serious matters that are not limited to the Grandek and Bardia families, but could lead to the deterioration of relations between the beastman nation of Zubera and the Magnolia Empire.

Therefore, the Bardia family is requesting the full cooperation of the Grandek family in clarifying the full details of the attack.]

Well, sothing like this.

Unfortunately, their reply was almost hostile.

[First of all, let express my deepest sympathies regarding the attack on the workshop in the Bardia territory.

However, it is extrely regrettable that you assu that the culprits are from our fox tribe.

As the Grandek family, we have no information that such people have fled into the territory, and there is nothing we can do to help clarify the full extent of the attack.

Without any evidence, the statent that relations between the two families have deteriorated is a very thoughtless statent that could be taken as a threat or provocation of so sort.

If I may add, in recent years, many children have gone missing in various parts of the Beastn country, and there is information that the children's whereabouts are in the Bardia territory of the Magnolia Empire.

If true, this would be the cause of the deterioration of relations between the two families.

Therefore, the Bardia family must promptly reveal the information. The Grandek family must admit that they have nothing to say to us.

The Grandek family did not accept any of the argunts we were making and took them as threats or provocations, claiming that the children of the beastn protected by the Bardia family could worsen the relationship between the two families.

My father and I were angry about this, but in politics and negotiations, if you get emotional, you will lose.

That is why we dared to invite them to Bardia for a eting.

Of course, we had a plan to prevail.

When we purchased the children of the Beast Tribe via Barsto, we assud that we would eventually be involved in a dispute like the one we had this ti.

For this reason, we had prepared with Chris and others at Christie Trading Company the background and materials to justify the purchase of the children of the tribe of beasts.

First, the background is as follows.

Emma is a cat tribe mber who supports Chris at the Christie Trading Company.

It all started when she received information about the sale of beastman children as slaves in Barsto.

Emma, who was deeply concerned about the sale of slaves of her own people, asked Christy Safron, the representative of her own trading company, "Is there anything you can do? "

Chris rembered that the Bardia family had asked for advice on recruiting personnel, and wondered if it would be possible to save the children of the beastn tribe by linking the slave sales with the recruitnt of personnel that had been requested. He thought.

However, slaves are prohibited in the Magnolia Empire.

So, Chris, drawing on business experience, ca up with a plan.

For starters, the Christie Trading Company purchased the children of the beastn sold as slaves in Barsto in bulk.

Next, under the pretense of "protection," the Bardia family guaranteed the status of the children and accepted them as its citizens.

The Bardia family pays the Christie Trading Company the cost of purchasing the slaves as compensation for "recruiting personnel," which was originally requested by the Bardia family.

The Bardia family then divided the cost of "protection" equally by the number of slaves, and loaned the money to the children.

The amount of the loan included the cost of the children's future education.

In other words, ostensibly, the Christie Trading Company was responsible for this matter.

The Bardia family cooperated as "humanitarian aid.

The real originators were and my father, but we should keep it under wraps for the ti being.

The "docunts" that I prepared include information on the slave trading transactions that the Christie Trading Company conducted with Barsto.

The docunts prove that all transactions were legal and in accordance with the laws of each country.

Chris, Emma, and I carefully explained the situation and the docunts we had prepared in advance, but Elba and Malbus of the Fox tribe were not very responsive.

"・・・・・・ from the above points, our family does not treat the children of the Beastn tribe as 'slaves'.

After I finished my general explanation, Chris, who was assisting next to , nodded in agreent.

"I am sorry to say, but after we delivered the children, I would check on them from ti to ti to see how they were doing. The children always seed to have a lively expression on their faces."

"Chris-sama is right. As a fellow beastman, I often talked with them. But they all said they were glad to have co to Bardia."

When Emma added appealingly, "Hou ・・・・・・," Elba said with a hamr.

I wonder if her words, being a cat tribe mber, resonated a little with them? I know I'm not with that kind of person, but I light a faint hope in my heart and start to speak again.

It's true that we have the children work for the Second Order after 'protecting' them according to the laws of the countries through the Christie Trading Company, but this is only an extension of our humanitarian aid. Therefore, there is nothing that the Grandek family is concerned about. Therefore, in consideration of the future relationship between our two countries and our two families, we would like to ask for your cooperation in clarifying the full details of the 'attack' we have told you about."

Malbus and Elba listened to the explanation in silence.

Soon after, Malbus slowly turned his gaze from the docunts in his hand to Father.

"I wonder if you, Lord Rainer, are of the sa opinion?"

"Of course. As Rid, Chris and the others have just said, our family has protected the children of the beastn and made them our citizens. There is nothing for you to be concerned about."

"I see. I understand your point of view. How do you feel about it, brother?"

At Malbus's question, Elba smiled wryly and snorted.

"That's not good enough. This docunt, in addition to what you have just explained, is nothing but a conveniently compiled summary for your convenience. Protection, humanitarian aid, being accepted as a citizen of the territory, etc. ・・・・・・ No matter how you put it, it doesn't change the fact that the Bardia family makes missing children work here yIn the first place, making them work as a form of debt is no different from 'slavery.'"

As soon as Elba says this, he throws the docunts in his hand down on the desk.

His gesture was so provocative that the air in the room beca painfully tense.
