I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

Do you want me to repeat myself?

"What...what a joke! How did it become that I'm the one who's playing tricks on you and slandering me?!"

Kanu jumped up excitedly and slammed his fist on the table.

"Heh~ Everyone's pointing the finger at you, so who else could it be but you? Could it be your leader?"

"How could it be me! I'm just a nobody in the clan! I'm not even the vice-captain, how could I possibly have access to the divine wine! This divine wine was clearly ordered by the captain to be sold by me!"

"Oh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked on with curiosity.

"You mean to say that your team leader made you sell this liquor, and you were just forced to follow his orders, not that damned master Zheng Jun?"

"Of course! They all know! We all obeyed the leader's orders! It was the leader who sent us out to sell! All the wine our clan sells comes from what he got from the god Soma!"

Kanu shouted excitedly.

"That's right! The reason they all say it was me must have been arranged by the leader. He wants me to take the blame! I don't want to be deprived of my blessings! I don't want to die!"

Seeing Kanu's excited expression, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't ask any more questions and simply picked up the documents and got up.

"Your word alone doesn't count; everyone else says you're the main frame!"

“I’ll ask the others first, you just wait here.”

After Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking, she turned and left.

"I'm not in the main position. The main position is held by the F-chief!"

Kanu shouted behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, but Fujimaru Ritsuka completely ignored him and quickly left the interrogation room.

After leaving the interrogation room, Fujimaru Ritsuka closed the door and turned to look at Nel and Ganesha, who had been specially summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka, who were waiting outside the interrogation room.

"How is it?"

"You...he...just confessed so easily?"

Nilu's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't comprehend how Fujimaru Ritsuka could simply go in, say a few words, and then Kanu, the addict, would confess so easily. It was ridiculously simple. In the past, when she encountered criminals like this, no amount of interrogation had worked.

Why?

"It's just a simple prisoner's dilemma, a tactic that works better with more people."

"No, this is not a simple move."

Ganesha shook his head repeatedly.

"This is a tactic that takes their fear to the extreme. Even though they are kin, no one wants to be the scapegoat with the heaviest guilt. To this end, they will try their best to clear themselves of responsibility, and even betray their kin."

The gods, who possess the ability to detect lies, had never seen anything like this before. They thought it was amazing. They could tell the truth or falsehood simply by asking questions, but Fujimaru Ritsuka's method allowed even mortals to get the truthful answers, and even the criminals themselves would say it.

"What a terrifying interrogation method."

"Whether it's scary or not isn't important, what's important is that it works!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka handed the documents in her hand to Nel.

"The remaining few members of the Soma Familia are yours to handle. You should know what to do."

"Uh...yes! Mr. Consultant! I will collect all the testimonies!"

"it is good!"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, she turned her gaze to the god Ganesha.

"As for the god Ganesha, you shall come with me."

"Where?"

"Go to the Soma clan!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched her fist.

"Since their leader has committed serious crimes, then naturally all members of the Soma clan should be arrested and brought to justice!"

“I’m here to capture their leader. As for Ganesha, I’ll trouble you to go and bring Soma back.”

Volume 1: 44. Open the door, Military Police!

"Open the door! Open the door!"

Outside the gates of the Soma clan, three squads surrounded the clan's residence.

"FB...no, open the door! Military Police!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka banged on the gate of the Soma Familia with a stick while shouting.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's arrogant behavior left Ganesha, who had come along with her, completely bewildered.

This behavior doesn't resemble that of righteous family members at all; instead, it looks like the vicious act of villains in stories bringing people to the door of kind protagonists.

Is this correct?

Ganesha shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these wild thoughts. He had seen Fujimaru Ritsuka uncover the truth about the Soma Familia with just a few words outside the interrogation room. The evidence of the Soma Familia's crimes was irrefutable; they were the true enforcers of justice!

Having realized his own identity and position, Ganesha immediately raised both hands and shouted.

"I am Ganesha!"

The shout startled Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was knocking on the door. As for the other members of the military police, they didn't react at all; well, they were used to it.

"Soma God! I have come to visit you! Please open the door!"

After the god Ganesha spoke, finally some members of the Soma retinue emerged from their dwelling place.

Chanis Lustra, the leader of the Soma Familia, is also the one who manipulates the private trade of divine wine.

With a gloomy face, he walked to the front gate and opened it.

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave the order as soon as she saw the gate open.

"Go inside! Take control of everyone! If anyone resists, attack them!"

Following Fujimaru Ritsuka's orders, the military police swarmed into the Soma Familia, and three military police squads easily took control of the entire Soma Familia.

What are you going to do?

Chanis's expression was grim as he glared menacingly at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't hold back and immediately started talking.

"Zanice Rossella, your team members accuse you of leading the private sale of Divine Wine, causing Half-Us to become addicted and mentally confused, and of secretly colluding with the Dark Faction to traffic people, causing many negative impacts on the adventurer environment of Orario!"

Ganesha was completely dumbfounded when he heard what Fujimaru Ritsuka said.

Kanu only mentioned that he sold the holy wine in private. When did he mention colluding with the dark faction to traffic people?

But Chanis's next reaction left him even more bewildered.

“Those bastards are lying! I didn’t do any of those things!”

fake!

As a god, Ganesha immediately judged that Zanice's words were false, and he glared angrily at Zanice.

"Whether it's fake or not, we'll find out when we get to the military police station. Please don't resist now, or I'll tacitly agree that you're trying to flee the country to avoid punishment!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately raised her hand and grabbed Chanis's arm.

Chanis wanted to resist. He knew that once he was arrested and taken to the military police, he was doomed. He couldn't afford to be arrested!

However, just as Chanis drew his sword, Fujimaru Ritsuka kicked him in the knee.

"You actually dare to resist!"

Chanis stumbled and fell to his knees. Fujimaru Ritsuka's stick came crashing down and struck him squarely in the mouth. Chanis felt his mouth go numb instantly, and two of his front teeth were broken. His mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

Faced with the speechless Chanis, Fujimaru Ritsuka swung her stick, creating afterimages, and instantly delivered six blows to Chanis. Two blows to his arms rendered his hands immobile, two blows to his legs prevented him from standing up, and finally two blows to his back, knocking him to the ground.

Fujimaru Ritsuka knelt down on one knee, pressing it against Chanis's vest.

"Two men, tie him up!"

Two military police officers immediately stepped forward and tied his hands behind his back with special ropes designed to deal with adventurers, the kind that strong adventurers could easily break by force.

After the leader was captured, all that was left were some low-level karami, who had no ability to resist. After all, even the leader, Chanis, was only LV2, while the rest were mostly LV1.

Under these circumstances, having lacked training for a long time, they were no match for the military police and were quickly arrested.

Only Soma remained in his small house.

“God of Kanisa, God of Soma, I'll trouble you.”

"Okay, leave it to me."

Ganesha nodded to Fujimaru Ritsuka and then walked into the Soma Familia. The place where Soma God stayed was the brewing room within the Familia, which was the only place he usually stayed. After descending from the heavens, this god of wine did not focus on playing the raising game like other gods, nor did he join the dark faction and cause trouble every day. Instead, he was full of thoughts about how to brew divine wine using mortal items. The purpose of establishing the Familia was to have its members help collect brewing materials.

To him, the clan was more like a tool, a tool to help him brew sake. So he didn't care about the development of the clan, as long as the leader, Chanis, provided him with materials regularly. The reason he didn't care at all was because he was disappointed by the clan members' addiction to the divine sake.

After giving drugs to someone who has never been exposed to them before, causing them to become addicted, they blame the person for lacking self-control.

It can only be said that the Soma clan's current wretched state was entirely Soma's doing.

If you were to create a list of the gods that Fujimaru Ritsuka hates in her mind, Soma would at least be in the top three.

After entering the camp, Ganesha found the brewing room where Soma was staying and knocked on the door.

"What is it?"

The sound of Soma could be heard coming from the brewing room.

"Soma, I am Ganesha, may I open the door?"

The door was quickly opened, and Soma appeared before Ganesha, looking like he hadn't slept for a week, with dark circles under his eyes and messy long hair. He looked like a 21st-century shut-in who hadn't showered for a week.

"Ganesha".

“Soma, something has happened to your clan. I need you to come with me.”

Soma hesitated for a moment, wanting to say he wanted to brew more wine, but Ganesha's unyielding tone made him realize he couldn't refuse.

"I see."

At this point, apart from Soma, who was taken away by Ganesha alone, everyone else in the Soma Kinship was arrested and sent to the military police for interrogation.

After taking all the members of the Soma Familia away, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not stop there. He issued new orders to the military police patrol.

"Not all members of the Soma Familia are at the Familia's residence. There are definitely some who are not at the residence, either in the dungeon or elsewhere. Go to the guild to check the list of adventurers registered with the Soma Familia, and then arrest those who are not on the list throughout the city."

As for why he was so sure, it was naturally because Lily was not among those arrested; Fujimaru Ritsuka had not forgotten her.

"Yes, Mr. Consultant!"

After a week, the military police officers had gotten used to Fujimaru Ritsuka's command. Now, in the military police, Ganesha's orders are not as fast as Fujimaru Ritsuka's orders. Apart from making Ganesha feel a little nervous, everyone else felt there was no problem.

Ganesha had no objection to this, because he also liked the current military police force. They were fast and more serious in their work, and the environment of Orario had improved because of their efforts. As a member of the military police force, he felt honored to be a part of it.

"Alright, you guys go and arrest them. I'll go back and interrogate them first. Remember, one of the little people has the ability to transform, and she especially likes to transform into a dog-person."

After giving her instructions, Fujimaru Ritsuka followed the departing military police escort team and headed towards the office.

Volume 1: 45. The Nearly Disbanded Soma Kinship

Lily was quickly captured. Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to the interrogation room, the patrolling military police caught Lily, who had transformed into a dog-man and was looking for targets for this money-making scheme, in Babel Tower Square.

Dog-people, Soma Familia, supporters—after a series of inquiries to confirm her identity, Lily was captured in complete bewilderment.

Back in the interrogation room, Fujimaru Ritsuka had Nel and the others begin interrogating the adventurers of the Soma Familia.

Since he had already demonstrated it once, this time the interrogation was to be conducted by Nel and the others.

The interrogation method was simple. As requested by Fujimaru Ritsuka, each person was detained separately. After being detained for a period of time, they were taken out for interrogation. During the interrogation, no questions were asked. They were simply told that everyone else had accused them of being scapegoats and that they were finished.

Then these people told what they knew, except for the commander, Chanis.

He wanted to shift the blame, but everyone had already shifted the blame onto him, so he couldn't shift it to anyone else.

He not only sold the divine wine to outsiders, but also made private deals with the remnants of the dark faction, collaborating to harm other adventurers, especially the weak newcomers. Within the clan, he used the addictive nature of the divine wine to control and exploit its members, sending them out to cheat and swindle, abusing lower-ranking members, and deceiving Soma, telling him that the clan was doing well.

Unable to shift the blame, Chanis was deemed guilty of heinous crimes, his grace was sealed, he was demoted from adventurer to ordinary person, and he was exiled from Orario, never to return.
