Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

Unicorn ranch mass death case (4)

I quickly retreated to calm the unicorns howling non-stop.

Once they moved out of the ranch, they watched the state by sharing their senses with the pets.

Actually, I should have done this from the beginning… I was too easy.

Even though it was in the Geumnam area, I didn’t know it would be so sensitive.

The unicorns cried for a long time after I completely disappeared.

When the rancher’s staff moves to send them back to the kennel, they step back a little terrified.

I was skeptical of the strange appearance.

The staff of the ranch took care of the unicorns for quite a long time.

But what kind of reaction is that?

Rather, they seem to follow Sylvia and Elfriede much better.

“Even if half of the unicorns are dead, they’re better at following people they see for the first time today…”

“It’s definitely strange. Maybe the zookeepers did it?”

“Well. I don’t know, but maybe he didn’t do it on purpose?”

I shook my head coldly at Sylvia’s guess.

The ransom price is no joke if it’s an A-rank pet…

Unicorns are even more expensive because they are a rare benign species.

“Some of the staff are from noble families, but they probably don’t have the guts.”

“but…”

“Still, we don’t know, so let’s investigate properly.”

I gave directions to Sylvia and Elfriede outside the ranch.

The staff at the ranch showed a slight dissatisfaction, but they couldn’t say anything because the other person was the other person.

It’s temporary, but even if you put aside me who visited as a duke’s deputy… Elfriede is with me, so I can’t hear a shout.

Sylvia and her pets first looked at the barn where the unicorns were staying.

In fact, even a barn is much more prosperous than a building for employees.

It is very luxurious because it is the residence of expensive and expensive summoners.

There is no comparison with a normal stable.

A building made of good quality bricks.

Relaxing music flows inside the barn, which can withstand even a typhoon.

Perhaps it has artifacts for autoplay.

There is a separate toilet and it is well cleaned, so it is very clean, and there is hot water in the bathroom.

Each type of fresh food is prepared in the luxuriously designed feeding box.

“Sanitation and food don’t seem to be a problem. We visited unexpectedly, so we wouldn’t have been able to prepare in advance…”

“They must have been cleaned when the unicorns died. Well, even considering that, it’s definitely clean. The facility itself is flawless.”

Medusha, who enjoyed reading detective novels in the library, began to secretly feel a sense of humor.

Convinced once again that it wasn’t due to the epidemic, I next examined the unicorns’ bodies.

The corpse kept by the guards outside the ranch showed no specific trauma.

It was not that he died from being beaten or sick, but rather died after suffering from anguish due to extreme stress.

“You didn’t touch the body, did you?”

“Yes. Whenever the unicorns die, we get them straight away.”

“When did you die?”

“The first accident happened five days ago. From then on, every other day after that, one animal died.”

The frozen guards diligently answered the questions.

They are also responsible for the mass death of unicorns.

I clicked my tongue slightly as I remembered that the guy who came up to me was dead and vomited blood.

It seems like everyone died for the same reason as him.

“Maybe there was a person who lost their innocence among the staff inside the ranch? It’s also like the unicorns strangely avoiding the staff earlier.”

“Ummm… Are you saying you’ve caused a strong rejection of the non-virgin’s touch? They’re not even funny at all.”

“They are very sensitive pets, so I think there is a lot of possibility.”

Now, let’s examine the outing records of internal employees.

With that in mind, I asked the guard.

“Is the entry and exit of outsiders strictly controlled?”

“Of course. Inside the ranch, the use of summoning is also restricted.”

“In the last six months, no alarms have sounded.”

“Where are the records of employees going out?”

The commander of the guard, who had a bewildered expression on my question, shook his head coldly.

“Inside staff are not allowed to go out.”

“Yeah? But, it’s been over a year since this ranch was built?”

“Yes. The staff of the ranch are being replaced about every six months. Every half a year, virgin virgins are selected and hired as staff.”

“Once an employee leaves, they cannot come back. It is possible that they have lost their virginity outside.”

Because it was the Duke of Beltern’s own plan, it was being operated very strictly.

It seems that he could not go out for a short time during the six-month working period.

This is practically the equivalent of living in captivity.

This is a measure to prevent the chastity of employees from being compromised.

“Then how long have the current employees been working?”

“Now, the five months are slowly coming to an end.”

“But to have an accident like this happen. Oh, I dare say Saddam… I’m sorry.”

I humbly overcame the security guard’s mistake and changed the direction of the investigation.

“Sylvia, Elfriede. Don’t give a congratulatory message, but search the staff’s quarters.”

“lodging?”

“All right.”

“All internal staff are waiting outside the dormitory!”

At my order, the staff inside the ranch showed dissatisfied and anxious expressions, but…

No matter how you look at it, there is nowhere else to guess.

A ranch completely cut off from the outside world. The only stressors for unicorns are the ranch staff.

They didn’t die from being bitten or beaten by wild beasts, so in the end they are bound to be the culprits.

I want to pick one person at a time and check the reactions of the unicorns, but…

In the meantime, I stopped because I feared another one would die.

Sylvia and Elfriede are scouring the dormitories of the employees at my command.

I asked the staff to intensively search their belongings for even the smallest clue.

While scouring the lockers and boxes of the two-story hut, they found a strange-shaped clue under the bed.

As Sylvia raises it under the light, Elfriede’s face turns red.

“What is this? It looks like some kind of breeding equipment…”

“No, no matter how you look at it, it’s for humans.”

The wooden box hidden under the bed was full of useful leashes, handcuffs, and gags.

Outside, the staff who were being watched by Laurie and Ethel close their eyes when they hear a noisy voice.

Sylvia, who noticed the use of the equipment belatedly, dropped it down.

“Wait. I hope this…”

The thing that convinced everyone was none other than the belt.

It was a device that allowed women to play the roles of men.

Sylvia came out carrying a box of evidence with a small click and dropped it in front of the staff.

“There’s a reason unicorns are stressed out.”

“Ah, that’s…”

“I, I can explain it all!”

In the ranks, a woman who looked like a senior at least stepped forward.

Personnel sent by the duke to manage other staff.

But the time for an explanation has passed.

Seeing that the unicorns did not dispose of the evidence even after they began to die, it looks like they used it quite a bit.

The insiders were also the culprits.

“Is the unicorns down pick and pick because the purity of the staff was compromised…”

“Oh, no! We proceeded with careful observation!”

“It’s a shame! We didn’t even go near the men!”

“There was no response in the first few weeks. There must be other factors!”

Confused employees denied the allegations, but…

Elfriede countered by pointing at the unicorns attached to him.

“I guess they don’t think so?”

“hehehe!”

“Pure! Purreuk!”

Guys running wild with their feet rolling and nodding their noses.

Anyway, I would have done this with the same women…

It seems that the six months of imprisonment was too harsh.

Medusha and the spirit sisters were also secretly separating themselves from them.

The half-resigned employee asked with a glimmer of hope.

“Hey, how are we doing?”

“Well, the Duke of Beltern will decide.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll reflect on it! Please, as much as I’m burned at the stake…”

Fortunately for all, the days of burning homosexuals are long gone.

If I was born 300 years earlier, I don’t know. No need to worry now.

It cannot be seen as a very proud and universal taste, but it will not be punished for that alone.

“Don’t worry. I won’t burn you. I killed half of my precious summons, so I don’t know if I’ll be hanged again…”

“Hey!”

Medusha, who was very grumpy, said with a mix of naughty jokes.

On the other hand, I rather wanted to blame the unicorns.

And the guy who came to me earlier…

If you die from just that much stress, don’t you think you’re not qualified as a living being?

I wonder how useful it would be to increase the number of these guys.

“Once we arrest the insiders and transport them to the Duke’s Castle… Put the unicorns in the kennel. There’s a lot of food, so we can wait a day or two.”

“Yes, Duke.”

“You’ve solved it surprisingly easily. Let’s organize it quickly and go. They’re badly demanding guys.”

Medusha didn’t seem to like the unicorns very much, so she polished everyone.

I am already worried about how the Duke will react to my report.

I didn’t do anything, but watching the setting sun and reaching the castle, I was able to meet him in the banquet hall.

The expression on my face changed drastically at the report of me and Elfriede.

After being at a loss for words for a while, he turned his head slightly and came up with an answer after pondering.

“Hey, it’s a pity, but I can’t kill you with that much. Elfriede, please come and bring the duke’s mercy yourself.”

“Is there no punishment at all? At least compensation…”

“What kind of money do the virgins working on the ranch have? Even if they send them to the academy, they still have a sense of money. It’s okay. The unicorns didn’t even mate with each other anyway, so they had a headache.”

Is it that they love a virgin so much that they do not have children among themselves?

So how the hell are you going to succeed?

I had no choice but to stick my tongue out to the habits I had not learned in class.

The duke smiled bitterly and completely gave up on unicorn formation.

“Owning a ranch and getting some data, let’s be satisfied with it. You did a great job, Earl of El Cloud. He did a great job for me.”

“No. One more died because of me…”

I said impatiently for fear that the duke would demand compensation.

Fortunately, no such incident occurred.

“It was an unavoidable accident, and it’s not your fault. Rest in peace for the rest of the training period.”

“Really? Did the unicorn mistake her for a virgin?”

While the Duke shows his generosity, Euryale smiles as he hears about the situation from Medusha.

Thanks to you, I was feeling my face getting hot.

A familiar cry was heard outside the banquet hall.

We ran out to that place without anyone going first, and we found a unicorn trembling in the middle of the duke castle.

I’m sure I left the rest of the guys in the barn… but did I make a mistake?

As we panicked, the ranch staff passively explained.

“Unicorns have the ability to freely cross the dedicated dimension… They seem to have escaped the ranch’s barns and fences.”

“What are you doing?”

The guy who runs to Sylvia as soon as I run out of words.

Apparently, my vassal liked it.

With a perplexed expression on her face, the Duke said to Sylvia, who was not sure what to do.

“I follow you very well. Just sign a contract. Finding the right summoner is a job anyway.”

“My, it’s such a precious gift for me.”

“No. It’s really okay. If you date someone else and die again, that’s more troublesome…”

“hehehe! It’s green!”

Silvia nodded her head in agreement with the duke’s sincere words.

The unicorn next to her howled loudly.
