conversations.prefix: Me:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “They are not omnipotent. Powers and privileges are appointed as required by the job at hand. What do you require?”
conversations.prefix: Narrator:

conversations.value:  “The bare minimum would be the authority to inspect the subjects’ finances and the authority to make arrests.”

conversations.value:  “One more thing. This one’s quite important. I would like to be granted the authority to make plea bargains.”
conversations.prefix: Me:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “Plea bargains?” Oh. Maybe they didn’t yet have that idea in this world?

conversations.value:  “In the event that a criminal admits to their crime, and cooperates with the investigation by naming their accomplices, they may be given a reduced sentence or be acquitted of their wrongdoing.” I said,

conversations.value:  “A few things. Most importantly, it would help me secure information to move forward with the investigation of more serious misconduct.” I was already generating a strategy for how to pursue Dole and Salas, and I laid it out for the king.

conversations.value:  “I see,” he nodded. “In that case…you will find this useful.” As I looked at him in confusion, the king called over one of his guards and took what looked like a playing card from him. He handed the object to me.

conversations.value:  “What’s this?” I asked.
conversations.prefix: Me:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “A magical tool that allows one to record conversations. It cannot be duplicated, which makes it invaluable for important transactions and investigations,” he said. “It is a rare item; handle it with care. Now, is there anything else you require?”
conversations.prefix: Narrator:

conversations.value:  He looked surprised. “Aren’t you going to ask about compensation?”
conversations.prefix: Narrator:

conversations.value:  “The guarantee that Claire and Lilly will not be held accountable is enough compensation for me.”

conversations.value:  “I wouldn’t say that…” It was just that nothing mattered more to me than guaranteeing Claire’s safety.

conversations.value:  “You said the same during the Chimera incident at the Academy, didn’t you?” the king mused. “You spared Lene and her brother’s life. I have received all the reward I require.”

conversations.value:  “If more people were like you, this would be a much better country.” That was going a bit too far. I was very aware that I was a weirdo. If everyone were like me, before long, the Bauer Kingdom would fall to ruin.

conversations.value:  “Now then, when you begin your investigation, you must speak with Rod,” the king said. Apparently, Rod had been in charge of the investigation thus far. I was then granted authority to meet freely with the eldest prince, as well as released from prison. But how am I going to explain this to Miss Claire? What a royal pain.
