The Invincible Undefeated Divine Sword Master - Chapter 11

Detective Licht

The maid stepped forward as I called out to her, but it was to protect the young lady. It was probably because she was wary of a stranger. It was nothing to be concerned about, as it was the natural thing to do, but it seemed that the only way to gain the girls’ trust was to show it in action.

Let’s get straight to the point.

“Wait, it’s too early to give up. Are you just going to walk away and let the thief take advantage?”

The girl in the hood replied with a sober expression.

“We’re not the Protectorate or the Advocate General. We can’t do a physical examination to every single person here.”

“Well, I guess we’ll just have to take a shot.”

“How is that even possible?”

Marie stares at me scornfully.

“The ticket is too hard to be found because it’s paper, but golds are possible because it’s metal.”

But they still didn’t believe me. I can’t blame them. We’ve never met before, and I don’t look like a wandering sorcerer.

In order to conceal my magical power in the Estark family, I’ve removed as much of my sorcerer-like appearance as possible. I trained really hard to build up my muscles and avoided wearing anything too outlandish. Thanks to it, I have the appearance of a fine swordsman from any angle.

If I explained the situation to her, she wouldn’t understand, and I don’t have time for that right now. I chanted a couple of spells to prove them my point.

It is a very common magical language, but those who listen to it carefully may notice that some of the language in this chanting has been omitted and replaced with my original spell. However, it seems that there are very few people with a magic background in this stable. Naturally, I finished chanting the spell without being noticed.

The eyes of the customers in the stable were drawn to me.

I kept focusing and carefully examine every person in stable.

There are about thirteen people in the stable. That’s quite a lot of people, but I don’t need to check the women behind us. It’s not polite to stare at them now. Because now my eyes are filled with magic and I have the power to see through their clothes.

I used my power to look at the owner of the stable. He was as fat as he looked, fatter actually. He has a sloppy body. He didn’t seem to have any metal hidden in his clothes.

The next person I checked is the biggest man in the stable. He was wearing metal armour, but when I raised the level of my “clairvoyance” magic, I could see through it without difficulty. When this magic is increased to its maximum effect, even his internal organs can be seen through. For the record, this big guy was also wearing white. Other than his armour and sword, he was not wearing any metal.

As I repeated the same thing to each and every one of them, a man came into my sight.

He was clearly acting suspiciously, standing behind the people as if he was hiding. That alone was suspicious, but he was even trying to escape from the stables.

“…this is the guy”

I’m not sure what to say. After all, magic is very useful. I thought about that and called out to the man.

“Red-faced man over there, where are you going?”

The red-faced man shuddered at my words and said he was going to the bathroom.

“I see, you were heading for the exit and I thought you were going to run away, but I see you’re going to the bathroom. I want you to go ahead and piss as much as you want, but before you do, can I have my bag of ‘gold coins’ back in your right pocket?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m asking you to return the gold you stole from these ladies.”

“There is no such thing.”

“There’s no point in lying. I’m an expert in magic. I know how to use magic, and I can even create my own original spell which is a combination of penetration and metal detection magic.”

“That’s bullshit. You’re just a swordsman.”

“I am a swordsman. But I also can use magic to a certain extent. Well, let me tell you something so that you can believe me. Your underwear has flowers on it. I mean, where the hell did you get men’s underwear with flowers on it?”

The man’s face paled at my words, but he seemed to decide to throw it back.

“No, that’s bullshit! You don’t have the authority to check me!”

“That’s true, but I even guessed the pattern of your underwear. I think it’s a good idea to at least find out if I’m right or not.”

The people in the stables laughed at my words.

“If the man’s underwear is really flowery, then this lady is telling the truth.”

“Take it off! Take it off! Prove your innocence!”

“If I take it off, I’ll be naked”

“That’s boring. Your sister should do it for you.”

Such wild words flew at him, but the red-faced man doesn’t seem to care.

“This is bullshit.”

When he tried to walk away, I held his shoulders so he couldn’t escape.

“What, are you trying to violate me? I’ll turn you in to the Protectorate!”

“No way, I wouldn’t do that. I just want to tell you that you’re going to be the laughing stock of the town if you walk around like that.”

“The whole town’s laughing at me?”

He seemed to feel uncomfortable in the lower half of his body while I say those words.

“It’s… hard to walk… it feels heavy…”

With that, the man glanced down at his own lower body.

“Ehhhhh!”

He groaned.

He looked down and saw that his pants were slipping down.

From underneath his slipping pants, everyone in the stable could see his flowery underwear.

The crowd began to laugh loudly.

“Hey, hey, did you see that? It’s really flowery.”

“You’re an idiot, you forgot to tighten your belt.”

Everyone was pointing at the red-faced man and laughed at him. I don’t agree with them because they are indeed undignified. What they said wasn’t true, the red-faced man did not forget to fasten his belt. The reason why his pants slipped down was because I cut his belt.

The moment I put my hand on his shoulder, I pulled a dagger from my waist. In one swift movement, I sliced through his belt in the shortest possible distance. It was truly an act of divine speed, but no one here at the horse pavilion seemed to be able to see it.

“…”

No, only the maid, Marie, who is staring at my dagger. Apparently, she seems to have some experience in martial arts. I was surprised she could notice my movement, but then I returned my attention to the red-faced man.

“Well, you were wearing flowery pants, just as I saw through them. Now let’s see if there is a bag of gold coins in your right pocket.”

Without the permission of the red-faced man, I search his pants on the ground. A heavy leather bag comes out of his right pocket.

“Well? What’s this? Can you explain?”

“Yeah, that’s mine! My uncle died and I just happened to get the inheritance.”

“Inheritance huh?”

Although he tried to fool me with the logic that the gold coins didn’t have their name on them. The audience was already on my side. Some of them even went to call the protectorates.

I send the decisive argument to the man who keeps making unseemly excuses.

“By the way, how much of your inheritance is in this leather bag?”

Of course, there was no way he could answer such a question.

Instead, it was a girl in a maid’s uniform who answered.

“There are eight gold coins in that bag. It contains eight gold coins and twenty-four silver coins, three of which are missing in half.”

She said.

To prove the maid’s great memory, I scattered the contents of the leather bag on a table and found the exact number of coins.

The man didn’t have any more excuse.

He sat down on the floor, and waited for the protectorates to arrive.

With the case solved, Marie and the girl in the hood bowed deeply and thanked me.

Those who had been watching the whole scene were amazed and said, “Wow”.

I took the gold back from the red-faced man and gave it back to its owner, then I got back in line as if nothing had happened.

My goal was not to be a Protector or a Procurator. My goal at that time was to go to the northern city and join the adventurer’s guild. Now that my troubles were over, I wanted to focus on getting a ticket for the carriage.

However, I guess my earlier action had made me stand out from the crowd. I was able to complete the procedures and get the ticket quickly, it was thanks to the people in front of me to let me to go ahead of them. The owner of the stable, who had been watching me, gave me a ticket for the carriage with a look on his face as if he was trying to say he’s sorry.
