The Imperial Knight’s Inquiry

Conversation

Sachsen: Hey!!

Sachsen: Boy...

Sion: Huh... Are you talking to me?

Sachsen: Yes you.

Sion: How can I help you?

Sachsen: Are you the mercenary that's going to Cocoon to drive out the bandits?

Sion: Yes. I am. Is something wrong...?

Sachsen: Nothing's wrong.

Sachsen: But could you tell me why the boy didn't go to the knights for help and requested mercenaries?

Sion: How do you know that?

Sachsen: I just visited the mercenary guild and heard... I heard you just left and chased after you.

Sion: You seem like a knight too. I'm hesitant to tell you.

Sachsen: Still couldn't you tell me? / I am not a knight of Bartran Manor.

Sion: Then...?

Sachsen: I should introduce myself. / I am Sachsen, of the knights of the Empire.

Sachsen: I was dispatched here to investigate the rumors of Count Klimp Frantz' death.

Sachsen: What is your name?

Sion: I am Sion. / (The rumors already spread...)

Sachsen: I visited the guild to investigate the strange rumor.

Sachsen: A rumor about a sudden appearance of three dead heroes of the past...

Sachsen: and someone assassinating Count Klimp...

Sion: ... / I don't even know the three heroes are.

Sachsen: Hahaha!! You mean you don't know the story of the heroes who defeated Satan?

Sion: ... No I don't.

Sachsen: Hahaha!! I can't believe this. / This is the most famous story in the Empire.

Sachsen: Anyways, the reason I am interested in the bandits raiding the town is...

Sachsen: Because I heard that the bandits' leaders are the three dead heroes, Schtemberg, Alice, and Zero.

Sion: That can't be... / (Dead hero... Schtemberg..?)

Sachsen: Of course, it could be a false rumor. / But isn't it strange?

Sachsen: As soon as we hear a rumor about the three dead heroes, Count Klimp who was a hero as well dies!

Sachsen: I feel like they are connected somehow... / Hahaha!

Sachsen: Now it's your turn. Do you know why the boy asked the mercenaries to defeat the bandits?

Sion: It's because it's not only the bandits that are raiding the town... it's also knights.

Sachsen: Are... are you sure?

Sion: Yes. That's what I heard..

Sachsen: That... might be true...

Sachsen: Ever since I visited Bartran, the lord of Bartran or the knights haven't been coming out.

Sachsen: It's been over a day since I came here but I haven't seen any knight.

Sachsen: Won't you make a deal with me?

Sion: What deal?

Sachsen: Before our knights go to Cocoon Manor, could you tell us the location of the bandit leader who feigning to be a hero?

Sion: I will tell you if I found out.

Sachsen: Hahaha!! We will follow you soon.

Sion: Ok. Then I'll get going...

Sion: Satan... Hero... / Klimp...5 people... Schtemberg...

Sion: It's like... what I remember...

Alice: I was surprised too!!

Sion: Right? Anyways, didn't he say the bandit leaders are called Zero, Alice, and Schtemberg?

Alice: I hate it~!! Why does it happen to be Alice!! / Such a fake Alice!!

Sion: Alice... If you think about it, you can be the fake of that witch Alice who was a hero.

Alice: What!! Of course I'm the real real Alice!!

Alice: Everyone except me is fake Alice!!

Sion: Hahaha!! Why is that?

Alice: Because I'm the prettiest~ and cute! and perky~!!

Sion: I see... We should hurry.

Alice: What's with that response!!

Sion: Bandits are raiding a town right now. We should hurry.

Alice: Hmph...

Sion: Haha!! Alice, don't get mad. / Let's go to Cocoon first.

Alice: Fine. I have to see the face of that fake Alice.

Sion: Haha... Alright.
