The gust of wind that suddenly blew scrambled the sand on the back alley.
Tsk, can't breath. It's gritty in my mouth.
"Pochi, what's wrong. Did these guys bully you?"
"I-it's not that nodesu! These people are police officers-san nanodesu. It's not that nodesu, come here quick nanodesu. Stomachs are empty, they're going to die nodesu!"
T, this guy, when the heck he appeared.
"Oy, where did you come--"
Ouch~.
Looks like my co-worker hit me with a stick from behind. Can't speak from the excessive pain.
"I'm sorry Chevalier Pendragon-sama. My co-worker is being rude."
"No, please excuse me too."
There's no need to be that servile just because he's some noble young master right?
The noble-sama is led by the dog little girl's hand to the dying brats. After ascertaining that, I complain to my pal.
"What the hell man."
"That's my line. Don't you know who is he?"
Always making fun of me, fuhn, it's Pendragon right. Pendragon?
Can't be?
"Don't tell me, the master of the maid who defeated the lost thief king?"
"What kind of way to remember's that--well fine. That's the man. Incidentally, he's also the Marchioness's favorite, and competent enough to defeat a lower-class demon in some distant land. His maid was enough to deal with something like a lost thief king."
Fuh, I was close to lose my neck in more than one meaning.
"Chevalier-sama, what are you doing? Just in case, euthanasia is prohibited in the kingdom's law."
"You're mistaken. I'm only giving them nutritional magic potions."
Nutritional? Rather, magic potions? He's giving several silver coins worth of magic potion to these dying brats? You can live for half a year with that much! These nobles' hobby.... geez.
"They're moving nodesu!"
"Yeah, let's entrust them to Ms. Miteruna after this. I'm planning to take these children, is there any procedure for it?"
Toys for a perverted noble huh. It's pitiful, but still 100 times better than dying here.
"No, we're going to report it to our superior, so you can just take them now. If you prefer, would you like our help?"
Oy oy, pal-chan? What the hell're you saying?
"No, it's fine. Pochi, Tama, carry the two over there gently."
"Yes, nanodesu!"
"Aye~"
Thankfully the noble-sama declined and I don't have to do annoying stuff.
What?! Since when did this catkin brat appear?
My co-worker claps my shoulder as if consoling me.
Dunno what you're doing, but it's pissing me, don't sympathize with me!
After that day, I never see dying brats in the back alley again. The old people who looked like they were going to die loitering around the park near the ivy mansion have also disappeared. I dunno whether someone collected the corpses, or the dying people decreased.
One thing I can say, I feel better that the job of collecting corpses has disappeared.

Half a month later, three unfamiliar little girls came to my station and gave their thanks.
I dunno any little girl with those nice clothings though?
My pal and me eat the cookings left by the little girls.
Yup, good food has no sin.
