Chapter 446 – 446

Perhaps because the fire was so large, the inspector general’s subordinates, who had been serving expensive drinks at another bar building in the village, rushed towards the inn when they heard that the inn was on fire.

“… What, what?! “The inn is on fire?”

“What?! Fire?!”

“Let’s go quickly!”

“Run!”

“Oh! It’s fire! It was really on fire!”

“Oh, there’s a convoy over there… What should I do?”

“This…, Even though I tried to save it, the fire was too big?”

“Ah, sir… I’m so tired of this. There’s Thomas White…”

“… What should I do?”

“What can I do? What can I do?” Thomas White dies there.”

“I saw the building on fire and smoke rising. “They must have already searched.”

“… But, that person on the other side of us who is hugging and worshiping a woman, isn’t that our youngest?

“Uh? Is that right? … Hey! The youngest! Why aren’t you protecting Thomas and are you hugging some woman?!”

“… Uh, … Well, that… Seniors… That’s it…”

“Oh, this bastard is so fucking lost. We went out to get food and drinks, but you couldn’t stand it and ended up buying a prostitute? Are you crazy?”

“… No, no… That is…, From the woman’s side first… To me…”

“That’s terrible. This is behind me. “You want me to believe that now?”

“Hey, hey. That’s not important now. What about Thomas White? The inspector would be damned if he found out. Don’t you know that our inspector is so suspicious and stubborn?”

“So what? Are you going to jump into a burning building right now and save your convoy? It’s crazy? Just leave it alone. That vicious pirate guy.”

“Okay. Surely that idiot would jump into that fire to save that pirate criminal? I don’t do it. No, I can’t. Am I crazy? If you want to sacrifice yourself, do it yourself.”

“They say that even if I go to my home country, I will be sentenced to death anyway? Honestly, I don’t understand what the inspector is saying. “What’s the difference between oatmeal here and oatmeal in England?”

“… To be honest, I did it to add one more achievement to the inspector general’s performance review. The guy who was caught while pirating was brought to trial on the mainland of the British Empire. “To impress the high-ranking officials of the British mainland.”

“If that vicious pirate searches here…, It worked out better. I heard somewhere that dying by fire is the most painful and painful thing? This is heavenly punishment, damn it. Shame on you.”

“I know. It’s fine, damn it. To be honest, I really didn’t want to take a boat across the Atlantic Ocean this time. A brave gypsy fortune-teller says I shouldn’t cross the ocean this year.”

They were drinking alcohol at a bar when they offered to buy them drinks, but when a large fire broke out in the inn building, the convoy troops who came to hear the news clicked their tongues and did nothing as they saw the inn building burning brightly.

While they were doing that, we rode the wagon we had arranged in advance and drove through the night back to the Springfield area.

“Captain. I think everything has been resolved well.”

“Okay. Still, just in case, let’s stay quiet for a while. “I’m good at controlling children’s mouths.”

“Yes, of course. “Captain.”

According to rumors later heard in the village where we committed the incident, fortunately or unfortunately, there was only one person, ‘Thomas White,’ who died in the inn fire.

For some reason, it was a fire so big that the inn building was completely incinerated…, It is said that this is because the fire was quickly discovered in the early stages and all the inn’s customers, except Thomas White, evacuated early.

In the case of Thomas White… According to the testimony of the convoy, he was tied to the bed with his hands and feet tightly tied with rope, so when the fire broke out, he was unable to get out and was burned to death…

“Hey, Thomas White. The newspaper wrote that you were a man who dared to engage in smuggling and piracy on ships of the British Empire, but was caught by a warship and was sent to trial, where you were punished and burned to death. … No. Now it’s a different name. What did you say your name would be?”

“Ice Adler.”

“Yes, Ice Adler. “I heard that a guy named Thomas White was punished and burned to death. How do you feel about it?”

“Hey, brother-in-law. Actually, this is already the 100th time I’ve asked that question. “Please stop.”

“… Child? Did you just say ‘icy’? This is what’s going on… Does this bastard really have to break his leg club today…? .”

“Ugh! Evil! Ah!! … Okay, wrong! … Evil!! Wrong! Brother-in-law! … Please. … Nu, sister. Just once to see my sister… ! Ugh…, I was wrong. Please take a look…”

“Ugh, you stupid bastard. Who is your brother-in-law, you motherfucker? I’ve never had a brother-in-law like you, fuck. If you behave rudely one more time, I will break your leg. And motherfucker. You should really live calmly now. “Next time you mess up, whether the real Mary cries or gives a damn, I’m going to throw you in a drum off the coast of New York or in the Great Lakes.”

“… Yes, yes, … Okay, I understand. Brother-in-law. … Jin, really, I will live quietly. Yes… Really, I’ll just live as if it doesn’t exist… I’ll just breathe and live…”

Thomas White changed his name, grew a thick beard, wore a mask, and made up to look like he had a scar, so he pretended to be Mary’s distant relative with a different face and decided to live in Springfield Blueberry Village.

Still, he had promised to live in hiding for the time being, doing odd jobs for gang members at the gang hideout in the forest, just in case.

‘Three or four years later, he settled in Springfield Blueberry Village and lived under a new name, claiming that he was Mary’s distant relative. If Mary misses her relatives, she can go to Blueberry, a nearby town.’

Anyway, I thought it ended like this, but…, The crazy inspector came directly to our village to investigate.

It seems like the rumor that he was a very suspicious and terrible bastard was true.

The inspector was a very old-fashioned British gentleman, and he came to my house wearing a monocle, high shoes, and a thick, large top hat-style gentleman’s hat.

– Knock. –

When I opened the door to the sound of a knock, this was the first thing they said.

“Is this the house where Mary White, the sister of vicious criminal Thomas White, lives?”

“Who are you?”

“Oh, excuse me. My introduction is late. “I am Curtis Henry Mauritius, who holds the honorable office of colonial inspector general in the British Empire.”

“However? “What’s going on in my house?”

“I heard that someone who was the older sister of a vicious criminal was living in this house, so I stopped by to investigate.”

“I agree with you that Thomas White, that idiot, was a vicious criminal and a scum of no help to the British Empire. But Mary is now my wife, and she is a good and good subject of His Majesty the King of Great Britain, who had nothing to do with what that bastard Thomas did.”

“Hmm, I guess so.”

“And Thomas was dead in the first place. Why did you come? Since Thomas is dead, are you going to charge his sister with guilt by association?”

“No. There were some suspicious circumstances surrounding his death…, I came here to make sure. And the sister’s husband is Dutch Marston, who is famous in Pennsylvania’s political and business circles these days… “I came to see you with my own eyes.”

“Me?”

“… Hmm, indeed, that’s right. He’s an unusual man. I have a good eye for people. You are definitely not an ordinary guy. Isn’t that right?”

“Well. I try to live a normal life…, But it seems like today it won’t be ‘normal’ for some reason… If you’re here to investigate Thomas, you’ve got the wrong address. I feel very relieved that that bastard died. “I think he died well.”

“Is that so?”

“And he suddenly said I died in a fire? From that day on, I started going to church diligently. I feel like God really exists. I pray for a long life for your Majesty the King. Oh, my king, may you live long. Long live!”

“Well, it seems clear that you disliked your brother-in-law.”

“Of course. That stupid brother-in-law was of no help to this world. I didn’t do my job properly every day and only took Mary’s back. When I said that the bastard was caught smuggling and was caught on a warship while pirating a British Empire ship. I thought that bastard did something after all. “He didn’t think he might have misheard or misunderstood.”

“Um, um. I heard that I haven’t behaved well in general…, It matches the information I know.”

“Because that guy was such an asshole. “If he hadn’t burned to death in the motel room that day, and if he had been seen in front of me, I would have shot him.”

“Okay, I understand. Still, I wish I could see Mary White at least once…”

“… Ha, okay. Please wait a moment. Merry! Come out now! A high official from mainland England has come here because of your dead little brother! “I don’t want to waste my busy time with an idiot who causes trouble even in death, so come out now!”

Mary carefully walked out from inside the house towards us who were talking in front of the front door.

She was just shedding tears.

‘If others see me, they will think that my one and only younger brother is dead. You’re good at acting.’

Even when the judicial inspector from the mainland asked him questions, he was sobbing and sobbing, and although he answered softly, it was hard to hear what he was saying because he was so mumbling.

As a result, communication did not go well, so the judicial inspector gave up communicating with Mary and decided to just go.
