# Gatekeeper’s Perspective

I am a gatekeeper. Though it feels like bragging to say so myself, I’m quite adept at my job and I can spot anyone suspicious from a mile away. And here I see two travelers walking towards the gate I’m guarding, looking as suspicious as anyone I’ve ever seen. One is a black-haired man and the other is a small girl with similarly black hair.

It’s rare for me to see black hair around these parts... are they siblings? But either way... is that man making the girl carry everything for him? I see he has a sword, but...

I thought they were siblings from a glance, but upon closer inspection I realized that the girl is both a slave and a canine beastkin. I see now. That why he’s making her carry everything.

But still. Slave or not, making a small girl carry everything is a bit much. Is he discriminatory towards beastkin? No, if that were the case, she wouldn’t be so well-dressed. They’re certainly an odd pair. That’s enough of this, though. I have work to do.

“Halt! What business do you have in Tsia City?” The two of them obediently stop after I shout at them.

“Aaah, sorry. We’re from the country, so we don’t really know how this works. Do we need something to get inside?”

Looks like they don’t intend to fight their way inside or anything like that. I stealthily activate my lie-detecting magic tool. Gatekeepers tend to have one of these, as they allow us to determine whether or not those we’re speaking to are lying to get inside. A veteran gatekeeper such as myself knows who to be suspicious of without a tool like this, but I’ve been ordered to use it every time without fail thanks to how a royal visitor is currently in town. I’m not one to disobey a direct order.

“...Answer the question. What business do you have in Tsia City?”

“Well, we left the place we were living in to come here and become adventurers if possible.” Hm, that wasn’t a lie. Unemployed youths tend to be attracted by tales of those similar to them becoming adventurers and obtaining untold riches. If only they knew that reality isn’t so kind.

“I see. Your companion must be a slave, given that collar. Does she belong to you?”

“Yes, she does. I found her by chance.” That too wasn’t a lie. A slave without a master legally becomes the property of whoever finds them and registers with their collar, so I have no issue with that. There were some bandits camping out around here recently, so she likely belonged to them or something of the sort. Perhaps she is dressed so well because this man isn’t treating her like a slave...?

“Why did you come here now?”

“Didn’t some knights come by recently on a mission to exterminate bandits? I thought the roads and such would be safer than ever right now. And it looks like I was right, since we didn’t have any problems getting here. Peaceful times sure are nice.
