<h4>Chapter 480: The garrison of the Royal Capital are troublesome</h4>


    As Takumi was building the bowling alley in the Sky Ind that Berkut demanded, Maria and those guiding the children with her were having fun shopping in the Royal Capital.


    The adults Maria, Marnie, Akane, the Catsith Poporo, the Elf Melty were leading the kids who were seemed to be having fun walking around the main streets of the Royal Capital.


    In particr, the Cat Sith sisters who lived in hiding looked at everything curiously, and they would have already gotten lost if their hands weren’t being held.


    The group led by pretty girls Maria and Akane, and beautiful Rabbitkin Marnie and Elf Melty stood out even in the Royal Capital of Valkyra Kingdom where people of various races lived.


    The Elven sisters, Catkin siblings, and Human sisters were also eye-catchingly cute, but what was more astonishing to the people in the Royal Capital was the sight of the Cat Sith family, a near legendarily rare species.


    There were people that looked at them pleasantly, and people that looked at them curiously, but, as a matter of course, there were some among them thinking bad things, illegal organizations acting in the capital…… in short, the members of dark guilds ran off to get in contact with the bosses of their respective organizations.


    「Oi, those are some nice women.」


    「Hoh, redheads are nice, but that bunny is sexy.」


    「That ck haired girl is also fine, and there’s even an Elf too?」


    「You idiots! That’s exactly why you will always be underlings. Look closer, those are Cat Siths! If you sell those to the rich bunch, who knows just much money they’ll shell out!


    「So that’s a Cat Sith? It’s my first time seeing one.」


    「I’ll let the boss know. The rest of you watch them.」


    「Ou!」


    The men who received orders ran off.


    This kind of scene unfolded all over the Royal Capital.


    Doganbo and Gn were there as guards, but the greedy men thought the two old Dwarves were unrted.


    And there was one thing that these Dark Guilds showing movement had inmon. This was that all the organizations were small – medium sized.


    In reality, Maria is a high ranking adventurer, and above all, it is known within the Adventurer Guild in Valkyra Kingdom that she was a member of Takumi’s top ss party. The organizations that did not realize this were the small and medium sized organizations that had limited intelligence gathering capabilities.


    And who would have thought that it would be a major blow to their organization?


    And it wasn’t only the illegal organizations like dark guilds that were astir.


    When Maria and the others passed through the gates of the Royal Capital, their arrival was immediately reported to the Royal Castle. Of course, it was also reported that there was a Cat Sith mother and children were also part of the group.


    After that, Valkyra Kingdom’s movements was fast.


    When Prime Minister Simon found out about it, he shared this information with King Valkyra and Knight Leader Ghad, and they decided they must now sweep the Royal Capital.


    Simon and Ghad were not only guarding Maria’s group, they were also identifying the hideouts of the organizations targeting the group, and making preparations to secure an attack force.


    In addition to the Royal Guard, the official protectors of the Royal Capital, Elite knights were selected from each knight orders.


    At the same time, intelligence organizations are being mobilized in order to swiftly calcte the hideouts, and soldiers are being mobilized and forming blockades around the hideouts in order to transfer the suppressed members of the dark guilds and ensure the safety of the citizens by preventing any escapees.


    「Good grief, I would have liked a word in advance from Iruma-dono.」


    「Well, that can’t be helped, Lord Simon. To Iruma-dono, this is simply just about shopping.」


    「Umu, it’s just as Ghad says. Good citizens are merely shopping in the Royal Capital.」


    Taking a break after issuing orders, Simon grumbled about Takumi, but Ghad and King Valkyra covered up for him.


    「I have a report. The prey had taken a bite. At present, the point of contact of the prey is running towards their hideouts. The hideouts are being identified, we will deploy knights and soldiers.」


    At that time, the intelligence units who were guarding Maria and the group from the shadows had contacted the higher ups that their prey have bitten the bait.


    「Fumu, that was fast.」


    「The first time even we’ve seen Cat Siths are at the Sanctuary. It’s impossible for those greedy bunch to not sink their teeth into that.」


    「Then I shall head to the scene myself. I leave the rest to you.」


    「「Ha!」」


    In order for Ghad, who rarely ever leaves King Valkyra’s side, to go directly to the scene, he had to hand the duty of guarding the King to two of his subordinate in the Royal Guard.


    Originally, Ghad would not have been needed for things like the extermination of dark guilds, but this was serious enough if something were to happen to Takumi’s people, and this was a chance to appeal to Takumi that they are this attentive to him.


    And so, an overpowered fox hunt was about tomence on small to medium-sized dark guilds.
