TDADP chapter 229: The story ends
「It’s no use」
Claudia, who seems to be dumbfounded, tells Yakum.
「Joseph doesn’t allow that」
Then, as Lara warns, Yakum snorts loudly 「Huuh」.
「I don’t care about that blockhead. What’s important is how to deal with the unreasonable challenge of the minister’s messenger who will come the day after tomorrow. It is not necessary to cooperate with that Satou, even if he uses simple tricks!」
「Why is that messenger of the Finance Minister related to that child?」
「The dialect has come out since a while ago」
Yakum keeps talking, ignoring Lara’s tsukkomi and roughing up his words.
「I’ve been harassed by Muss-dono, who has refused to invite him to the faction, but this time I’m serious about it. It’s a story that the damn finance minister makes use of his power to double the tax of Comer City! And at the request from the other side, he is going to give Satou a medal, so the finance Minister wants him to come along」
「Haa? I don’t think he’s going to fall for such a clear trap」
「That child wouldn’t go even if its a trap」
「What does Muss say?」
「You! Speak with honorifics when you mention Muss-dono!!」
Lara quickly closed her ears to Yakum’s yell, but Claudia was delayed and stumbles with a ringing reaction and she almost fall off the chair and panics, before she regains her posture hurriedly.
「Muss-dono is away at a meeting with neighboring nobles. Well, the messengers may come tomorrow, so he will come back by then」
Instead of Yakum. who is trembling with anger, Lauren leaning against the wall answers Lara’s question.
「Ouch....... You idiot! Idiot!! What are you going to do if I can’t hear anymore!!」
「Unlike you, I don’t owe Muss. So I don’t have have to call him honorifics and I don’t have to listen to what you say」
Whether Lara is wary of Yakum’s rage, Lara remain her ears closed.
「Mou! It’s because of Lara」
Claudia, who has not yet recovered from the tinnitus, tries to strike Lara’s head, but Lara avoids it lightly.
「If the story is about Satou, I’m against it」
「Me too. Joseph is mad at me」
「It’s the end of the story. Five in favor, one in neutral and one in opposition」
「What do you mean?」
Claudia’s eyes narrow. In the meantime, Lauren was standing near the door and changed his position.
「I understand that you don’t like it. You can’t count from the beginning」
「Would you like to be beaten the hell out of yourself by Joseph again? If you apologize this time, you will be forgiven」
「It’s nothing to be afraid of. Recently, if you open your mouth, you’ll feel bad with Yuu and those little girls. When he first came to Comer, he was strong. But now he became a coward」
Claudia and Lara floated slightly on their chairs. It is a posture so that they can move anytime.
「Do you want to kill me?」
「Too much tone――!!?」
An arrow with a spiral rotation pierced Claudia’s occipital head from the window――it looked like it was so.
With minimal movement, Claudia dodged the arrow. The arrow pierced the thick wooden table and stuck into the floor. Still, the arrow continues to rotate.
「Ma-dari-」
Claudia says the name of Madari, one of the house guests who are not here. Lara looks out of the window, but there is no shadow or shape of Madari in sight. It was a terrible bow skill, such as aiming at Claudia’s head in the room, much less how far he shot the arrow.
「I think you understand, but for now I’ll take care of it」
「Silent!」
Claudia was furious because several hairs were caught by the arrow that Madari shot earlier. The spirits drifting around Claudia are rushing around as if responding to it.
「What do you mean?」
Lara asks Yakum for Claudia who is agitated.
「I can’t be bothered anyway. I asked Madari to stop anyone here」
「I think you cant do that!」
「We can do it」
The answer is not from Yakum, but from Lauren.
「The windows are protected by Madari’s arrows and the door is protected by me. So how are you, who don’t even wear armor, let alone weapons, are going to break through?」
「Like this」
Saying that, Lara shoots a fist against the wall. It is a blow that wears the 『Combat』 of A rank adventurer. Originally, the wall seems to be shattered, but the wall was broken rather than cracked, absorbing the shock so that the entire room was undulating.
「I didn’t say it to you guys, but this room is a special specification that Ranpou strengthened with earth spirit magic. You can’t break it with a little attack」
「Can you cancel it by interfering with the spirits?」
Lara asks Claudia, who is also a spirit magic user.
「It’s difficult」
「I expected that you were a idiot」
「Wh, What!!」
Claudia tries to catch Lara while raising a hysterical shrieking voice. Lara looked at Yakum with her eyes from the side, but could not find a chance. Then Claudia stops the movement and clicks her tongue.
「After all, it’s acting. You’re not going to cheat me. I know your strength better than anyone else. You can be more vigilant, but it won’t weaken you」
「If so. Ka-chan, I´ll go soon」
「Aiyo」
「Wait pl――」
Dozens of arrows attack Claudia from the outside. Direct shooting, curved shooting and arrows of various orbits penetrate through Claudia. Claudia dodged the arrows with wind spirit magic, but could not follow Yakum any further.
Claudia and Lara couldn’t do anything and see Yakum leaving the room.

Comer city’s main street. There was Lena´s figure walking in the crowd so as to be buried in the waves of people.
「......Muu」
Looking at the left, she shakes her cane.
「......Mumuu」
Looking to the right and draw her eyelids between her eyebrows.
「......No one’s coming」
The person in question was very serious and intended to be able to draw attention to the surroundings, but from her appearance, she was turning a smile into the eyes of the people around her. Well, Lena is dressed in her usual adventure clothes such as a cane and a robe in spite of being in town. She doesn’t dive into the labyrinth or hunt in the large forest. What she is doing is crawling around the city to feed herself. It was a shocking event for Lena that Agafon and the others were attacked. Moreover, the attacking opponent is the same people as her. The disappointment of Flavia, who had been deprived of her handmade item pouch, was such a terrible thing that Lena superimposed herself and Flavia and grabbed the floral item pouch hanging from her neck from the top of her robe. Agafon´s party have been diving into the labyrinth since early in the morning to regain Yuu´s trust, saying they have disappointed him. To the appearance of the healthy Agafon, Lena was burning like a flame in the heart of the one which did not appear only in the table.
「......A little break」
Lena’s forehead was a little sweaty because she walked for hours to claim that she was here, on the main street where the most people in Comer city came to. When moving to the open café along the main street, Lena asks for drinks and snacks. Grabbing the wooden cup firmly with both hands and keep watching the main street while drinking fruit water. After drinking about half the fruit water, Lena puts the cup on the table.
「......Are you hungry?」
A few birds fell on the table. With a small cry, they tilted their heads to stare at Lena’s sandwich and demand her to feed them. Lena chops up the sandwich so that it is easy for the birds to eat. The birds mourn with great joy, but there was one bird that didn’t eat.
「......What’s wrong? Eat――. Golem」
It was so sophisticated and natural that Lena couldn’t realize that the bird was a golem until she looked carefully. The bird golem shakes its head all the way to encourage Lena. Lena chased the bird’s golem, which was flying away when she paid, on her Mithril broom.
「Damn, not good. We can’t chase her like that」
「It can’t be helped. That’s it」
「Oh, don’t forget to report」
The people of 『Lena-chan Fan Club』 who watched the situation in the surroundings continued to see the direction where Lena flew away regretfully.
--------------------------------
「Don’t stop your hand」
「I know it even if you don’t say it. I´m getting tired of it」
Nepora and Tin were reaping the plants that spread in the garden of the mansion. In the past, Hisui lived here, so plants that couldn’t be handed out and were allowed to breed indefinitely were now managed by Marifa and the maids to be suitable for the mansion where their master Yuu lives. Still, Hisui´s effect was that plants grew faster than usual. If you don’t take care of them a few times a month, the vegetation will quickly cover the outer wall that surrounds the mansion. In a different place from Tin, Marifa and Melanie are mowing the grass in the same way.
「Hey, Tin」
「Hmm?」
「Is it my imagination that older sister’s mood seems to be bad from the morning?」
Nepora turns her gaze toward Marifa while wiping the hair away from her face. Melanie working together on the side seemed to be frightened.
「It’s not your imagination. Master went out alone today, so she seems to have been left behind」
「I see. That’s why Namari and Momo went to town in the morning」
「Tin, what did you say?」
Marifa, who is a dark elf has very good ears. She heard the complete conversation between Tin and Nepora from the beginning.
「Not saying anything, Hey, Nepora?」
「Don’t get me involved」
「Nepora, you´re terrible to abandon a fellow apprentice slave maid. I’m getting tired」
「Don’t say anything wrong to people who are listening, now it’s Tin’s verbal slip」
Tin protested while punching Nepora’s stomach and she was groping Nepora’s big chest.
「What are they doing?」
「That’s true」
Melanie agrees with the grumpy Marifa from the morning. Melanie was working while listening to Marifa’s mood, but Vanamo’s appearance running here from the other side of the gate enters the view.
「Older sister」
Vanamo who ran while picking the edge of the skirt suddenly stopped in front of Marifa.
「What happened? I was supposed to have ordered you to mow the weeds around the mansion」
「It’s not about that! Sister, please see here」
Vanamo presents Marifa a letter.
「This is....... Count Muss´s crest」
「We’ve confirmed that no traps or magic have been applied. A servant who serves Count Muss said that I should give this letter to older sister」
「Not to master, but to me?」
Marifa carefully removes the letter seal and checks the contents. Every time she follows the contents of the letter, her long ears move.
「Older sister, what is written on the letter?」
Vanamo wants to know what is written in the letter, but she tries to look into Marifa’s hand on her tiptoe, but she is still short.
「Nepora, I can’t see Agafon´s party, but do you know where they are?」
「Yes. they’ve been diving in the labyrinth since early in the morning. My husband Otope said he would not return for at least a week」
「It’s convenient. Vanamo, gather everyone right away」
「Yes, I got it」
When Marifa put the letter into the item pouch sewn on her maid outfit, she instructed Vanamo to collect all the slave maid apprentices.
--------------------------
A slum in Comer City. The company Alcom, which started with Yuu and Mafia who dominate the slums, is assigned to many residents and those who have a stable income drop money in the slums. Those who receive the benefits move money by buying things in the slums. Through the circulation of money, residents in the slums with unspecified addresses can obtain gold and goods that are incomparable and the standard of living has greatly improved. Poor will dull you. As slum dwellers become richer and the security has improved, this slum is far from many slums in other cities. However, slums are still slums. If you go off the street a little, it’s a dangerous place that isn’t strange. Nina and Jozu are also in a corner of such a dangerous slum. The surrounding area is a vacant lot surrounded by buildings that are likely to collapse. Residents of the slums, who are sensitive to dangerous odors, left the place like a wave in the unmistakable atmosphere of Nina and Jozu.
「The story is exactly as I told you. I want Nina to ask Yuu to cooperate」
「U~mm」
「You may not have noticed, but Muss-sama has been protecting Yuu from many aristocrats and powers. If you feel any favor, will you cooperate with me? Of course, when Yuu goes to the royal capital, I’ll promise to accompany him as an escort」
Jozu tries to persuade Nina since a while ago, but Nina’s reaction is not good――far from it. She doesn’t show interest as if she’s not interested.
「We don’t have time. At this time, other house guests are going to Lena and Marifa to listen to what they say to Yuu with all their power. All of them are comparable to me, or more rigid」
「Why does Yuu have to get involved in the trouble of Muss-san?」
「Nina, Muss-sama」
Jozu advises her by forcing him to hold back his anger.
「I don’t think Muss-san can do it by himself~」
「It’s the second time」
This time, neither anger nor murder intent was hidden. The killing intention released from Jozu´s whole body is knocked against Nina, but Nina receives it like a plant blown by the wind.
「There is a better way than that」
Nina walks with her arms behind her back. Looking back, she tilts her body to the point where you feel like she is leaning forward. Both hands were holding her two daggers Black Dragon Nail and Black Dragon Fang.
「I’m~sorry」
