I was brainstorming my options.
It did not take long for me to decide to knock the salesman unconscious. I doubt there are many people here and I would pretend he remained in the basement for his own reasons while I returned to the ground floor to pay for the slave.
When the salesman turned away from me I hit his head and climbed the stairs as if nothing happened.
“Miss, where’s Paul?” The man asked me about the salesman.
“He is still downstairs. He said he has some job to do and offered to wait for him here.”
Without saying anything the man drew a short sword and ran at me. I immediately dodged his attack and with one hand took the stiletto. Before he could say anything he dropped dead with blood coming out of his chest.
I guess the plan had some minor flaws. Instead of regretting my bad choices I hurried to do everything before something goes wrong. I had to torture myself again and return to the basement and free the slaves. I opened a few cages but none of the slaves crawled out. When I tried dragging them out of there they resisted. I tried convincing them, I assured them that nothing bad will happen, I even used some food to attract them but none left their cages.
Soon the salesman woke up and saw the tip of the stiletto in front of his face.
“No screams, no foolish actions. I don’t mind killing you so it’d be better for you to cooperate.” He nodded.
“Tell the slaves to come out of the cages and go outside of the building.” He ordered the slaves something and they obediently rambled upstairs. I followed them with the salesman behind my back. While I thought he’d try attacking me, he was just trailing behind me. I guess he is just a white-collar who messed with the wrong people.
“Are you not going to use the opportunity~?”
“I am not stupid… I’d rather spend a few years in the prison than die here…” (S)
“Good point, not that you could kill me.” When we exited the building I confirmed that the slaves are outside but we were surrounded by a lot of guardsmen and some shady people were telling them random crap.
“Surrender at once, or we will have to kill you!” (G)
“Oh my, you want to help the slavers? How honorable.” I finally was ready to deploy heavy guns and aimed one of the turrets at the “Merry maul”.
“You captured and tortured people, and yet you pretend to be stranger?” (G)
“If I am one of them then why would I suddenly make all of the slaves go outside where they can be spotted? Why would I want to demolish this building?”
“How would you destroy it? Ha-ha-ha!” The guard who talks to me started laughing.
From 5 meters even I can hit a stationary target, if the shells don’t fly out of the barrels at 90˚ angle.

BOOM
The wooden building shattered like glass. Everyone around me was deafened by the cordite explosion and while they were in confusion, I turned the second pre-loaded turret in the direction of the guards.
“Might I ask you, whom you would believe, me or them?”
“T-t-t-t-take her!” I was disappointed that the guards did not think about what happened and decided to believe the slavers.
I was now forced to open fire but my priority target were the slavers who incited the guards.
BOOM
The shockwave torn apart everyone in front of my guns and also dealt a lot of collateral damage to the buildings around. There were not many guards that still were capable of standing up so now that I was almost done with everything I decided to head back with the orc baby.
I soon arrived back to the inn and nonchalantly showed the baby.
“What the… now I guess we return to that orc and give him this?” (X)
“Perhaps you managed to return the money?” While Xera’s response did not surprise me, Lilith was too persistent about money.
“I did return some money but right now we should be concerned with another thing.”
“Yeah, I heard that explosion…” (X)
“You don’t understand. The town guard wanted to arrest me.” Now their faces immediately changed.
“Ok, ok! Don’t panic, we should slip out of this town and hurry.” Mistress Lilith gave us new orders and in a minute we were ready to go.
“Miss Delight, might I ask you to prepare to make some noise?” (L)
I did not use ‘Requiem’ to accelerate the reload and ‘Memento Mori’ to save myself from malfunctions. It was stupid to think that the main guns would reload without issues. The small jet of fire coming out of one of the guns confirms it. Only two of the guns were reloaded but other than fire there were no life-threatening incidents.
Now we only need to escape the crime scene.
