Dusker breathes when he sees the other person coming into the room.

"Well, Marina is no longer a guildmaster, isn't she?"

　Marina nods gravely to Dasker, who puts the papers she was reading on her desk.

"Well, it might be so in the ordinary course. But one of Dusker's problems to-day is... not entirely, but I'm going to solve it."
"My problem? Then it's about someone standing in front of me."
"Oh, that's interesting, isn't it? Did something happen to me?"
"... well, what's the point after all? I have a lot of worries."

　I wonder how he thought he would never win. Disgustingly, Dusker urges Marina to move on.
　Dusker has no choice but to surrender altogether, especially if he is told that he proposed marriage to Marina as a child.
　It was the judgment that we should proceed calmly before being brought up with such a thing as black history.
　Marina understands Dusker's idea, of course, but she doesn't talk about it now, she speaks frankly.

"Do you know about Ray's involvement?"
"Oh, you've been involved in an internal conflict in the business that recently came to Gilm. as usual."

　Ray's personality...or, in this case, his nature, or what he might call trouble-inducing, makes Dusker smile amusedly and yet somewhat amusingly.

"It seems that the information network is working very well,"
"No wonder, especially Ray is an important person in many ways. We're gathering information around it. Marina, Princess Vihela, and Bune had a party called the Wings of the Red Lotus."

　Marina isn't particularly surprised to know they had a party.
　In the first place, when Ray knows of the information involved in the internal conflict of the Speel trade, he has been collecting reasonably detailed information.
　If so, it is safe to know that they had a party called the Wings of the Red Lotus.

"Yes. So... there was a little movement about Ray's involvement. Do you know that?"
"A carriage crashed into the branch, and the manager's bodyguard was killed in the confusion?"
"Yes. And the assassin who killed the bodyguard... I caught Kenna and heard a lot of information."

　Marina's words finally reveal surprise.
　Even though they knew about the assassins, information probably didn't come up until the marinas had already captured them.
　...but it was only natural.
　Little time has passed since the marinas handed over Kenna to the guard before she came to the lord's residence.
　Marina's actions would have been quicker than reports from the security forces.

"...And? What are you going to ask of me? It's Marina anyway. Is there any reason why you gave me that information?"
"Yes, of course. First of all, it seems that it was the man who had been guarding Precious who asked Kenna. If he tries to get out of Gillum, I want him to stop and let me know."
"Well, there's no doubt that he's a criminal at the time he asked the assassin to kill someone. I can't let such a man go about as he pleases... if he doesn't know the other person's face, can'
"Well, that's why it's as good as it can be. And about Kenna... she's an assassin, but as far as I'm concerned, she's not that bad. He's a good hand at it...You can use it enough as a member of the wolves of the meadow."
"You want me to win over the assassin who committed the crime? Isn't that crazy?"
"Really? But in that sense, wolves in the grass were originally bandits, right?"
"... a self-styled bandit,"
"It won't change in the eyes of the general public. That's right. And I'd like to have Kenna help me a little with the Precious affair. Why don't you exempt him from the death penalty and make him a subordinate to Dusker?"

　Marina's words give Dusker a difficult look.
　The intelligence agencies under Dusker's direct control, including the wolves of the meadow, are far from being able to afford themselves.
　I also understand from my previous experience that Marina's eyes are certain.
　That being the case, we may consider this offer.
　That's what I'm thinking.
　Even so, the reason why I can't nod honestly is probably because I have various thoughts about being an assassin.
　Still, Dusker wonders how to benefit Gillum's... Larkus's frontier counties, and nods.

"All right. I'll accept Marina's proposal."

　And eventually, Dusker accepts Marina's proposal.
　There seemed to be a lot of problems, but it was grateful to Dusker that he could still increase the number of wolves in the grass.
　...and the name of the wolves in the meadow used to be the name of bandits, but now it is used as the name of intelligence agencies under the direct control of Dusker.
　The wolves in the meadow are far from sufficient at present.
　Eggs leading wolves in the prairie have attracted some old friends, but it was true that there were still not enough people.
　If there's a match for Marina's eye, I'm not going to oppose it.
　Of course, the character Kena needs to be seen by Egg, but when you look at Marina, you don't have to worry about being dropped there.
　There are some problems with the internal conflict of the Spiel trade, but it wasn't unusual.
　No, it may be rare to develop into such a large-scale conflict, but that's not the case.
　There was no need to worry about some problems, given the benefits Gillum could make.

"Yes, thank you. It will save me a lot of things."
"Oh, I see," Well, I have work to do, so please leave when you have finished your business. Unlike someone else, I'm busy, aren't I? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

　Speaking to Marina, Dusker quickly prepares and hands over the papers.
　Documents that give you some freedom to use the kena when you bring it to the security forces.
　It's not usually easy to pass, but Dusker trusts Marina even if she doesn't like it.
　I didn't hesitate to hand over these documents.

"Thank you. Then I'll move right away."
"Well... thank you."

　Marina leaves the office with a small smile, backed by Dusker's brief thanks.
　For Marina, Dusker is still an acquaintance she's known since childhood.
　The sight of the Dusker doing such a good job of lordship makes me very happy.
　Leaving Dusker there, Marina would immediately head to the guard post.





　Just in front of the prison at the station, Vihela was relaxing with Bune.... yes, I was at ease. as if to say that it was not in front of the prison, but the room of the Wheat-tei at dusk, where he was always staying.

"You know, I'm caught and I'm saying... why are you doing that here? You won't run away if you don't keep an eye on me."

　Kena talks to Vihela, a little dumbfounded.
　However, those who say so speak without a trace of concern about Kenna's appearance.

"It can't be helped," Maybe they'll find out that Kena's caught and come back to keep his mouth shut. and when that happens, in prison... can you manage it with your bare hands?"
"That would be difficult, but would you still come to the guard station, let alone somewhere else?"
"He wouldn't normally come, but maybe he asked Kenna to be the bodyguard of the other person who is pulling the strings behind this incident?"
"... Come to think of it, you've said such a thing." That's why it's this bodyguard? It's just me."

　The prison where kena is now housed is a kind of prison called a cell.
　People who cause trouble in the streets are usually placed in multiple prisons.
　for a few in one prison.
　But Kena is the only one here, and nobody else.
　This was due to Vihela telling the security guard that an assassin might come.
　Normally I would not listen to an adventurer so honestly, but this time I brought this information to Vichela... as a member of the Red Lotus wing.
　Former guildmaster Marina and notorious Ray.
　The wing of the Red Lotus, to which these two belong, has not yet been formed for a month.
　However, it was only natural that they should be respected in terms of reliability because the members to whom they belong are members.
　...Vihela is a very skilled adventurer, but she is not so well known in Gilm.
　Bune is even less well-known than such a Vihela.
　Still, being a member of the Red Lotus wing, I could have benefited from it in this way.

"That's how stalemate it was," ...to be honest, I don't understand why Precious did such a thing, but this is a great opportunity for us. If you bring the person who brought you the request before you, you'll be able to judge it, won't you?"
"...I don't want to sell my clients, even though I look like this."
"Oh, but if things go on like this, you'll be executed, right? Then maybe you'll survive if you're honest with me."
"What?"

　I don't know what Vihela is saying.
　Kena looked at her like that, but Vichela turned her head for a moment... I remember that she hadn't mentioned Marina yet.

"Marina is now going to see the lord here." If we come to an understanding, Kena will be taken over by Gilm's intelligence forces. and of course, if you don't want it and want to die, I wouldn't force you to."
"Of course I'll be with the intelligence forces!"

　a kenna screaming at a rate that is just as fast as it should be called reflexive.
　I was prepared to die, but it's only natural that I want to survive if I can.
　What's more, Kenna was willing to run away before she was executed, although she had not shown it publicly.
　Is that a forced escape, or is it a s*xual attack on a man who is a guard, or is it otherwise."
　Anyway, for Kenna, who was up to it, there is no alternative but to take advantage of it if she can avoid execution by means that are not illegal.
　As Kenna screams, Bune, who is looking around, looks at her for a moment.
　They seem to be free, but in reality they are exploring the surroundings so that when an assassin arrives they can react quickly.
　Beune, however, is the type that specializes in combat power, although he has some ability as a thief.
　You can't tell who is approaching completely like Seto.
　Still, as a thief, he was more capable of sensing the abnormalities around him than Vihela.
　Such a Bune must have turned his eyes to Kena's sudden exclamation.
　Soon we begin to explore the surroundings again.

"You've made a very quick decision, haven't you? Well, I'm happy about that, too. --and I ask you again, will you join the intelligence force?"
"Yes, if it's not going to be executed, that's all right." -- a little curious about the intelligence forces."

　For some time, Kena, as a member of the underworld, knows that Gilm's intelligence forces have grown exponentially.
　I never expected myself to get in there, but that made me wonder what the intelligence force was like.

"Everything seems to have been introduced by Ray and pulled out by the lord of Gillum?"
"...that boy is showing up everywhere."

　Vichela has no words to deny Kena, who mutters dumbfounded.
　That's because if you work with Ray, you'll find out that it's true.

"Yes!"

　Meanwhile, Bune suddenly exclaimed.
　The voice, mixed with tension, was a clear indication of what was happening now.
