I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

Philip and the party were immediately guided to the lord’s castle in the city of Sorondo, half a day away. Like the owner of a fairly large city, Sorondo was wealthy, and the owner of the city, the Marquis Veronche, was also the same.

The only people in the party who were entitled to meet the Marquis publicly were Philip, Castler, and his wife, Cynthia. Johnny’s was too young, and Rizriel and Lua, who were not nobles, were out of the question in the first place.

However, the Marquis of Veronche invited everyone in the parlor except for the mercenary and the porter.

“Meet Your Excellency, Marquis.”

The elder, Cassler Murella, took the lead and greeted them.

“Long time no see. How is your father?”

At the Marquis’ question, Castler nodded.

“You’ve been studying for about two years, so you’re probably doing well.”

The Marquis smiled as he remembered Castler’s father, Hellsian Murella, who was called the great sage.

“It seems that he is still the same.”

“Because he’s the kind of person who always says that if he has to die someday, he’ll die while experimenting with magic.”

“He was such a person. okay. Philip Oswald. How is your father these days?”

Philip answered honestly, as he did not know any news about his family.

“I don’t know because I haven’t seen you for a while. Isn’t it sometimes good news that there is no news at all?”

After quoting a little of a familiar proverb, Philip tilted his head as the Marquis looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes.

‘What’s wrong?’

On the other hand, the Marquis, who felt a certain level of respect and composure from Philip’s answer, was certain that Philip, who was reputed to be an outcast, had changed his mind, as he expected.

He was also in the position that a man needed some time to wander because he had heard that he was a pleasant man when he was young.

So he didn’t hate Philip that much.

“Can you introduce me to the beautiful ladies over there?”

The Marquis, who was introduced to Johnny’s and Lua’s party by Philip and Castler, soon got to the point.

“Actually, my honor was saved thanks to you guys. How disgraceful it was to be a marquis who was only played by a merchant. If it had not been for you, Phillip, who happened to be there, I would have been pointed at even after I was dead.”

Lizriel’s expression hardened as she heard those words. Since the ‘only merchant’ the Marquis referred to was her own sister, it was not strange if the Marquis held a grudge against her.

“That merchant girl deserves to be punished. I invited you like this because I think I need your help to do that.”

“How can we help you?”

“It’s nothing. Deluan Youssef All you have to do is help the b*tch find the evidence so she can hang herself on the gallows. You guys have some connection to Yusef Corporation, so you can do better than my knights. Of course, there will be a proper reward, and if Miss Youssef is shameless, shouldn’t she help me?”

“You are right. Marquis. We must help.”

Lizriel nodded her head with an astringent expression. Deluan Youssef was not simply a merchant belonging to the merchant association, but a direct blood relative of the merchant association and a woman with the right of succession, so the merchant association had to take responsibility for her actions.

“Before we talk bloody things like the gallows, can we send the children somewhere else?”

Philip, who had been quietly listening to the story, asked the Marquis a question. The Marquis looked at Philip with his eyebrows slightly narrowed, and Philip did not avoid his gaze.

The Marquis, who pondered for a moment whether he should be angry, nodded his head soon after remembering that Philip’s occupation was an instructor. It didn’t seem like a particularly rude request.

“I’d love to. My son and daughter will talk to the children. Now that we’re 15 and 12, maybe we can become friends.”

The Marquis called the butler and sent Lua and Janis to his sons and daughters and continued the conversation.

“… In fact, in terms of my temper, I want to burn down the Sorondo branch of Yusef Corporation right away. If I had been ten years younger, I would have done that. But as I’ve gotten older, dealing with the aftermath has become quite a chore. But if you don’t hang that b*tch on the gallows, you might really start a fire.”

It was nothing short of a threat. Lizriel couldn’t control her expression. As her lips trembled, the worse castler stepped out.

“No one was hurt or killed? It doesn’t seem necessary to send him to the gallows.”

The Marquis shook his head.

“No. no. Don’t you know that you are also Murella’s son? This is a matter of family honor. You should know that I am putting up with a lot just by not using force.”

That was true, so Philip nodded as well. It wouldn’t be strange if rumors circulated that the family of the Marquis of Veronche had succumbed to the money of Youssef Company if this matter was overlooked.

‘… damn sister… .’

Lizriel gnashed her teeth. Deluan Youssef was a pretty smart woman, and it was clear that she never thought that her plan would fail.

It was a typical mistake of a moderately brilliant person.

“All right. Let us help.”

Philip had no choice but to accept the Marquis’ offer. It seemed that if the Sorondo branch burned down, at least a few handfuls of Rizriel’s thick hair would fall out.

As a person claiming to be a friend, I was stung by my conscience for leaving him alone.

* * *

“Let’s make a plan. Isn’t what the Marquis wants is conclusive evidence to send Deluan to the gallows? A letter with a seal, or material evidence.”

Philip, who had to do a detective job that he couldn’t even sell, looked at Cynthia, Rizriel, and Castler and said.

“Isn’t that so? But to see if such a thing really exists, we need to get close to Deluan Youssef first.”

From noble mtl dot com

Philip had a plan already in his head.

‘Actually, it’s Deluan who is cornered, so it’s enough for us to poke and see the reaction.’

After thinking for a moment, Philip looked at Castler.

“Anyway, Kassler-nim and Cynthia-nim must suffer a little. Go to Deluan right now on this road and summon her. In the meantime, I’ll search her office.”

It would have been easy with Privia’s help, but she was still asleep as her body had not yet recovered.

“That’s not difficult, but… … What can I say?”

“Usually, people who are cornered are desperate to defend what is left of them. If he judges that Castler-sama has not turned his back on her yet, he will cling to him. With the support of the Murella family, it is not impossible to minimize the damage.”

Kassler understood Philip’s words and nodded.

“You can pretend to be moderately persuasive. All right.”

“I’ll be there to help too. Instructor.”

Cynthia Murella also rolled up her sleeves as if to help.

“What can I do?”

Lizriel asked, and Philip answered, pointing to the golden ring on his finger.

“I have to contact the capital. A man with a golden seal appeared. And that Deluan Youssef tried to trap the owner of the golden seal and kill him.”

“… Hiccup.”

Surprised, Lizriel started to hiccup.

“ji… At this point… ?”

“Isn’t now the best time? If the Chamber of Commerce hears this news, will it pay attention to Deluan Youssef?”

“… Hiccup… maybe… Wouldn’t it? That’s a good plan. Originally, I was going to reveal this after solving this, but… .”

Lizriel nodded as if Philip was right.

“Then let’s all move. I want to finish quickly and go home.”

Everyone nodded at Philip’s words. Everyone had the same desire to go home.

* * *

Deluan Youssef hurriedly ran to the branch as if on fire at Castler’s call. Disguised as one of Castler’s pupils, Phillip checked her face and nodded.

Neatly tied silver hair, cold and bitter eyes.

As Philip remembered, she was a selfish person who used everything available to her, but in front of Castler Murella, she behaved like a charming cat.

“Deluan. We are just on our way back to the Marquis of Veronche.”

“What did His Excellency say… ?”

Castler glared at Deluan with uncharacteristically cold eyes. Clearly, Deluan Youssef didn’t seem to be able to afford it. She couldn’t even hide her embarrassment and was busy checking Kassler’s attention.

“I heard that you tried to use your Excellency and the punitive force organized under your orders to compete for succession.”

“Yeah, that is a misunderstanding. Your Excellency is seriously misunderstanding. How dare a merchant like me do such a thing?”

“His Excellency’s rider, Lord Setian, said that one of the members of the punitive force had already confessed.”

Cynthia helped Kassler.

“I heard it too. Deluan. I wanted to get to know you, but did you approach us to take advantage of us?”

Deluan Youssef forced a smile on his face.

“Can it be? Actually, I don’t know how this happened, so I’ve been trying to get the full story out. This is a trap someone has dug to frame me. Did the two of you see me as that kind of person?”

Castler was a pretty good performer. He showed a high level of acting skills that even Philippe admired.

He replied with an attitude that seemed that he had no intention of doing anything right away, but that he would not remove his suspicions.

“… There’s no magic to reading people’s minds, so I don’t know what you were thinking with a smile on your face.”

Deluan, who became desperate, began begging Castler with the words of an oath.

“With my all, I never did anything like that. You two have to trust me. Please do not turn away from me, even considering the efforts and sincerity I have given to the Murella family.”

Deluan’s acting was also excellent enough to be an actor. Twenty-nine years old, she looked a bit younger than her age, and had a slightly cold but slender appearance.

“Kuhm… .”

When she begged with a desperate expression, Kassler let out a drool as if his mind had been relieved to some extent. Cynthia shed tears with an expression as if she was holding back something.

It was obvious that that something was laughter.

Philip, who was watching the atmosphere, asked Castler.

“Master. Do you think the story will be long?”

“I guess so. Oliver. you’ll be back in advance I will be back before dinner.”

“yes. I will.”

After answering politely, Philip left the drawing room. At this point, Deluan could not think of anything else and would be focused on persuading Castler.

As soon as he left the Sorondo branch, he climbed the wall and started climbing to the rooftop. It was after he had already roughly figured out where Deluan’s office was by the sound of her footsteps.

—… You are doing all sorts of things. master.

Clinging to the wall, Philip frowned as he heard Neria click his tongue.

“Quiet. What are you going to do if you get caught?”

―If I get caught, I don’t think the owner will get caught and Neria won’t.

“… … .”

Philip climbed the wall stealthily like a spider. Rarely did anyone walk looking up, so even though it was still daylight, no one seemed to have seen him.

The window of the room supposed to be Deluan’s office was locked. Phillip created an Auror blade in his finger, cut the lock, and entered.

“… who, who are you?”

One of the maids who happened to be cleaning was about to scream with her eyes wide open. Philip hurriedly approached her and shut her mouth.

“Shh. Be quiet for a moment. I’ll just do my business and leave right away.”

The maid nodded hastily, but her face went white with fear. It was a young maid who seemed to be around Lua’s age.

With his free hand, Philip lifted the robe’s hat and showed his face. As soon as she saw Philip’s face, the maid’s vigilance was reduced by less than half.

“I will never do anything to hurt you. Nod if you can promise to be quiet.”

Nod nod.

The maid nodded vigorously.
