The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

While I was having a leisurely conversation with the store owner, the door to the store was opened.

Two men with a panicked look enter through the door.

As soon as they enter the store, they started talking excitedly.

From their appearance, I could tell that they were quite irritated.

The two men were in the doorway of the store, so I was unable to get out of the store.

The only way to get out might be to pass through the back of the store.

“Calm down! The Knights will not move without proof.

“That’s…”

“No, I don’t think so.
Look at the work they’ve done so far.
Besides, think about it.

“But I was saved by Count Faltoria before!”

“But behind the scenes, he has made a number of people unhappy.
The commander says that he has found solid evidence of this.”

“… I guess we’ve been betrayed.
We even did some work for the Count.”
