Ray and Ilze were brought to Dahl in a bar.
　As soon as they learn about it, Ray and Ilze think it's a bar again... but Dahl goes into the bar regardless of them.
　Now that both Ray and Ilze have come this far, they have no option to go back here without doing anything.
　Seto tells them to hang out nearby as usual, and then the two go into the bar.
　Then Dahl enters the bar, but instead of sitting there, he goes to the back of the shop.
　It was only natural that they should follow suit.

(I see, this is probably one of the hideouts of the Dahls.)

　Ray predicts so as he walks into the back of the bar.
　In fact, some of the rooms at the back of the bar had faces that Ray had seen several times, confirming his expectations.

"Here, sir," -- a dirty place."

　The room Dahl led me to was about six tatami mats.
　There was a table and chair in the middle of the room, and only a window in the wall... it was quite a dreary room.
　Dahl described it as dirty, but it's not dusty or spider web-covered.

"I'll bring you something to drink, so please wait for a moment. There are some other people I need to explain, so I'll call them."

　That's what Dahl says, and he goes out.
　Seeing it off, Ray and Ilze are the only two in the room.
　The two men, who had nothing particular to do, sat in their chairs wondering what it was like to stand there.

"Mr. Ray, what does Ajas think... no, do you think he's up to?"

　Ilze asks Ray so, perhaps because there was no particular topic.
　But when asked, Ray has no words to answer.

"What do you think?" To be honest, I don't know. Considering that the intelligence forces are working in this way, I am sure they are up to something... but I have no information as to what it is."

　For Ray, even if Ajas is up to something, he can destroy it together.
　That's what I had in mind.
　But, given the intelligence forces in action, it certainly isn't a bit of a crime.
　As Ray and Ilze speak, Dahl appears on the tray with a glass of drinks and a plate of bite-sized sandwiches to pick lightly.
　When she talked to Melan, Ilze, who ate and drank at the bar, didn't particularly stimulate her appetite, but Ray reached for a sandwich on the table.

"Well, then... I'll get right to the point." Do you mind?"

　Ray and Ilze all nod to Dahl's words. ...though Ray was eating a sandwich.

"Thank you very much. That's right, though. I don't know what to start with... Well, the reason why this case became so important was because I looked into it."
"Well, I suppose," If you're not interested in it, you won't look it up, and of course it'll be difficult to find it even if you're up to something."
"Well... at first there was no particular problem." Well, we didn't have enough people at the moment, so we couldn't make it around."

　Egg actually sent only one person to investigate Ajas.
　But... it is true that one of them has produced great results in this case.
　There's no doubt that the person was investigating the incident of Ajas, but it's natural that he can't do it all by himself.
　That's why he decided to use an external organization.
　Fortunately, intelligence forces are the back of the Dasker-led organization, with some external organizations having friendly relations.
　The investigation after Egg's men's investigation was left to the outside organization, but... the outside organization was behind the scenes based in the slum, so we can sense that one of the same slum-based organizations is making suspicious moves.
　...yes. They are forcibly taking away the woman who wandered into the slum from the people who gathered in Gilm due to the extension work.
　On the contrary, they even deliberately used people connected to the slums to lure women into the slums.
　Of course the organization knew they were crossing a dangerous bridge.
　Still, there was a reason that it was a big deal, and above all, it was restricted to only those who came to Gillum for extension work so that the residents of Gillum could not be suspicious of it.
　In the end, however, the organization eventually caught me by the tail.
　An organization with friendly relations with the intelligence forces then gathered the information to get the intelligence forces to buy it at a high price... the link between Ajas and Lebedev and Haston, though with some damage.
　When Egg was informed about the incident, he naturally concentrated on the investigation of Ajas.
　The intelligence forces, however, were originally close to their limits, and it took some time to investigate... but, at any rate, it turned out that Ajas was trying to take away many women, and that was a problem.
　Naturally, the investigation of Ajas was not specifically concealed by Marina's request -- to be exact by Ray -- and intelligence forces could easily gather information.
　In other words, if you're not good at it, you could be hostile to Ray, depending on the conditions.
　It wouldn't be strange if some people thought so.
　To prevent it, the intelligence forces decided to contact Ray.
　Ray and Ilze each have a different expression when they hear the man's explanation.
　Ray was convinced... and Ilze expressed sympathy for the man in the force in front of her.

"So what Ajas is trying to do is to take the woman away from Gilm?" --are you going to make him a slave?"
"Well, I think it's very likely. If there were two of them one by one, it might be to satisfy their desires, but as far as I can tell, there were more than twenty of them -- no, nearly thirty."
"Then there is no possibility that the adjas are simply fond of women...."
"Yes,"

　Dahl nods in agreement to Ray's words.
　The two of them had been communicating like that, but Ilze listened uncomfortably to their conversation.
　I'm not particularly displeased with Ray or Dahl.
　As a woman, I couldn't hide my disgust at what Ajas was doing.

"…I see. Well, that's all right, and what's the reason for your contact with us, because you've got some clues in this case?"
"Yes. Actually, thanks to Mr. Ray and his... well, it is impossible for the three Ajas to stay in the guillem forever."

　They would normally want to say it was Ray's fault, not Ray's.
　Ray opens his mouth as he watches Dahl.

"Well, it's because we came into contact with Ajas."
"Yes, if only Ilze had come into contact with it, he wouldn't have moved so hastily. That's why Ilze may have been targeted."
"I suppose so,"

　Ilze cannot deny Dahl's words.
　She's beautiful, but her strength is nothing special.
　I don't know why -- I don't want to know exactly -- but I think he's just a good game for Ajas.
　Of course, it's not the adjusters that are directly attracting women, but the organizations that do business with adjusters.

"Anyway, that's why they're trying to speed up their business with the next organization. It would be right to say, "No, I was there."

　Although Ray and Ilze did not yet seem to know the information that they put direct pressure on Ajas... Dahl still seemed to be a member of the intelligence force and somehow understood the situation from the current situation.

"Oh... I see. Ilze, what are you going to do?"

　Ray asks if it's okay to talk about Ilze's situation.
　Ilze thought a little about Ray's words, but he nods back.

"Yes, I don't mind,"

　After nodding, Ilze tells her story.
　His parents and brother, who were peddlers five years ago, were killed by his bodyguard, Ajas.And becoming an adventurer for revenge.
　...that they had come to Guillem, where the building was lively and crowded, and found Ajas.
　When Dahl hears the story, he looks convinced.
　Why is it that a person like Ilze, who is not very good at rough things, is aiming at someone like Ajas? That is because some of the reasons were satisfactory.

"Well, then, if you don't do well, you could escape from the guillem tonight."
"But you're running away... from outside the main gate?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't know about that. But since it is an illegal organization, it is not surprising that they have some sort of communication, and that they may have some sort of loophole that we don't know about."
"Isn't it impossible because of the boundary?"
"I think so too, but there is absolutely no such thing. There's a good chance that in some way that we don't expect...."

　Watching Dahl muttering abominably, Ray can't help but agree.
　Perhaps such an organization has some means of doing so.

"Were you a little too hasty, then.

　I couldn't help but now I know exactly what Ajas was up to.
　It was impossible to expect it in advance.
　No, if you were a more intelligent person, you might have guessed it.
　But... unfortunately, that was impossible for Ray.

"Well, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it."

　Dahl replies so to Ray's words.
　In fact, it took time for the intelligence forces to detect Ajas' identity and plot.
　If this had taken away the original inhabitants of Gilm, it would have been much earlier to make headlines.
　But they were all taken away by people who came to Gilm after the extension began.
　That must have delayed the spread of the story.

(Huh? She's going missing...)

　Suddenly, I remember a story I heard from a party called The Rain of Mercy a day ago.
　A woman from the party is also missing.
　That's what I've been told.

"Ah... the rain of mercy... I forgot my name for a moment, but I said one of the women at the party was missing, too. Is that her?"
"The rain of mercy?"

　Ray's words make Dahl think a little and open his mouth.

"Oh, there you are," Apparently, the security team reported that a woman named Lusha was missing. Our investigation also believes that there is no doubt that we have been involved in this case."
"Is that so?"

　As I expected, I feel a little sorry to hear Dahl's words.
　In this case, perhaps... no, it's definitely going to be a big deal.
　If a disturbance broke out to prevent the actions of those including Ajas, the women who had been taken away could naturally be harmed.
　No matter how adventurous you are, it's been a few days since you were captured.
　That would naturally not be physically perfect, nor would they have weapons as long as they were in captivity.
　If this is the case, it will be difficult for them to take advantage of anything they try to do.
　...although in reality they have been used with slave collar and are forbidden to resist.
　Given the value of the slave collar, neither Ray nor the Dahls knew that they could prepare a large quantity of such a thing.
　Although Egg and others around him, who led the intelligence forces, did not rule out the possibility.
　Still, it would take about a fortune to prepare a collar for the number of slaves who went missing.
　Even at that risk, there's not much profit to be gained.
　That's why the eggs recognized that they didn't have slaves' collars, or, if they did, a few...
　I guess they misjudged the seriousness of the people giving the adjudgers around here.

"Anyway, I don't like many things now when Ray and others are found, so will you leave it to us to watch over them? Of course, I'll let you know as soon as they move."

　At the words, Ray sees Ilze.
　Leaving it to him, Ilze thought for a few seconds before nodding to him.
