The evening of the day Ray and Ilze formed a partnership with the Dahls... Ajas was waiting in the room for two of his companions to return.
　The sun has already turned into a sunset, and it's about time the work finished.
　As much as Ajas has nothing to do, he is overwhelmed with anxiety.
　If two of my friends... what should I do if Rey stormed this inn before Lebedev and Haston returned?
　Of course, if you do that, Ray is the one who gets the blame.
　Although circumstantial evidence is almost certain that Ajas is the enemy of Ilze's family, there is no conclusive evidence.
　As soon as I talked about it, I left my job and came back to Gilm, but if I insist that I'm not feeling well, I'll be able to manage it.
　Guild's reputation will deteriorate because of his impersonation.
　However, now that Ilze has emerged, I don't think Ajas can work any more as an adventurer.
　It won't change if you go to another village, town, city... or any other country, not Gilm.
　The guilds are in contact with each other, and they can be wanted as prize heads.
　Ajas, who has been crossing various dangerous bridges, knows about the situation in the area.

"It was a good job to be an adventurer,"

　mutter grumpily while lying in bed
　Adventurers were, in fact, the most delicious job for Ajas.
　The deliciousness was not, of course, delicious in the sense of ordinary adventurer, but rather in the sense of information difficult to obtain for Ajas, who works as a semi-thief.
　When they found out that there was a request to put down a bandit, they leaked information to the bandit and got paid for it, or they told the guild where the bandit had their hideout, and they made a great contribution to the request to put down the bandit.
　He also pretended that Ajas would kill the bodyguard, assuming that he could not defend the peddler because he was attacked by thieves and monsters attacked him.
　Or he was asked to guard the merchant corps, and asked the robbers how many adventurers would participate in the request.
　Besides, the title of adventurer gave Ajas a variety of benefits...and Lebedev and Haston.
　It seems too late for Ajas to throw it away.
　But considering my current situation, it was clear that I couldn't cling to it just because it was too bad to throw it away.

"Oh, I'd like to go to a bar, but I don't know why..."

　I'm not going to go, do I?
　That's not how Ajas could say it to the end.
　The door suddenly opened, where Lebedev and Haston were seen.
　As the door suddenly opened without knocking, Ajas tried to reach out to the dagger that was close to him, but... as two of his companions entered the room, he breathed a sigh of relief.
　It was, however, such a sudden action without knocking, that he immediately looked sullen and spoke.

"You guys, all of a sudden, open the door... What's the matter?"

　At first, she was going to complain, but suddenly a bad feeling strikes her when she sees how serious they are.
　Perhaps Lebedev and Haston, as well as himself, have been identified by other adventurers.
　Still, I wonder if I'm going to be on the same day as myself...

(Was it Ilze? Was it because she came to me in time with these two?)

　For a moment, Haston opens his mouth and denies it.

"Ajas, this inn is being watched."
"Oh!? No, but you said there were people who were looking into me, right? If you think about that, wouldn't they be looking into us again?"

　Adjas was surprised by Haston's sudden remark, but he remembered that he had been explored by someone before and said so.
　But while Agas said so himself, he also thought it was probably unlikely given today's incident.
　The inn is being watched on the day that Ilze's family was killed.
　Considering that the inn was never watched when you were being searched, it would be impossible to take it as a coincidence.

"No... the one who was watching didn't smell like that,"
"If Haston says so, it's decisive,"

　At Haston's words, Ajas muttered in disgust.
　Although Haston had a strong attachment to odors -- especially the smell of women -- his sense of smell was capable of sniffing danger beyond Haston's taste.
　As long as there is no smell in danger, the adjas have been saved by Haston's sense of smell over and over again, though they have near a certain special abilities.
　That being the case, I could not have doubted Haston's words here.

"How dangerous is it, specifically?"
"... by far the best," If things go on like this, I think the worst will happen to us."

　After a moment of silence, Haston says so.
　Ajas' expression was added to the words.
　Because I've never heard a word that Haston uttered in all our evil lives.
　The fact that the adjas had been doing all sorts of wrongs, and yet the other adventurers, guilds, guards, knights... all the adjas had acted very carefully, and the sense of smell at Haston's peril had also shown great power.

"What shall I do?"

　Lebedev asks, unquestioned by Haston.
　Although it was not decided who was the greatest of the party, it was still a lot of adjudication to decide how to act.

"We'll have no choice but to get out." What is going on with the transaction?"
"I can't tell you exactly what it is unless I get in touch with them, but under the current circumstances, we can't have all the people we want."
"... I suppose,"

　Ajas scratches his head at Lebedev's words.
　They asked them to speed up the deal when they were already suspicious.
　It hasn't been long since then, and even if we say we're going to do business today, they're not very ready, either.

"The least salvation is that they know that we are in danger. You don't have to raise the price."
"Well, if we hold on there, they'll be in danger. If you think so, it's only natural."

　In fact, if they try to raise the price here, the adjusters will have to pay the price calmly.
　We have a large amount of money prepared from above for this case.
　It's only natural that the women they bring are precious to their superiors.
　Words may be bad, but resources may be called resources.
　As long as you use it for such a dishonest thing, you can't naturally bring people together publicly.
　That's why I'm ordering Ajas and others to bring women.
　Therefore, even if the organization doing business with Ajas demands a little excessive amounts of money, it doesn't mean they can't afford it.
　...however, since the money left after this request was completed was part of the reward given to the adjusters, they didn't want to spend as much money as possible.
　Of course, it's just a past tense, and now that the situation has become the way it is now, I can't spare money.
　To spare money here means to spare it in exchange for life.
　Adjas are atrocious, but not stupid.
　If the deal is settled by money, we should finish it quickly and leave Guillum.

"Well, I'll get the connection with the organization. The deal will be closed this evening. Then, when the deal is closed, we leave straight out of the guillem. Is that all right?"

　Lebedev tells Ajas and Haston so much in a voice of confirmation rather than asking, and they both nod back without hesitation.

"Then I'll get some food and water from the dining-room of this inn. For the time being, you only need three days' worth, don't you think?"
"... I see. But if possible, buy as much as you can. There are still shops open outside now, so if the staff of the inn goes to buy it, it should be no use in the dining room."

　Since it's already evening outside, they must be eating a lot at the inn's cafeteria.
　If you buy food from such a restaurant, you will naturally run out of ingredients to serve in the restaurant.
　Fortunately, however, it is still evening and the sun has not set completely.
　In other words, you can still go to a store that sells ingredients now.
　In addition, if you order three days' worth of food for three people, you won't run out of ingredients in the cafeteria.
　But... when the adjas move, they need to take the women in the guillem carriage.
　That being the case, it was necessary for women to eat at least."
　It's meaningless to starve them to death even though they bought it from tissue, and they're telling us to hand it over in good health.(Well, if it's just bones and skin, you don't want to hold it.)

　There's no way they'll eat less, considering what the boss says when they get there.
　Fortunately, the slaves' collar did not run away or make a fuss, so it would be fortunate that they did not have to eat less and take away their strength.
　At any rate, a three-day meal for dozens of people would require much of the food in the dining room.
　We have no choice but to get Haston to negotiate the matter well.

(I think I should go, but I should stop moving now.)

　The cafeteria naturally attracts a lot of people.
　That being the case, there was a possibility that some people knew Ajas' face, or that some people would come looking for Ajas.
　Of course, today's Ajas hasn't committed any crime clearly yet.
　He is a criminal, but it is right to describe it as undisclosed.
　For that reason, it was better not to go out as much as possible now.

"All right. Then I'll be back."

　Lebedev says so, and Haston leaves the room to do what he has to do.
　As she sees them off, Ajas thinks about the future.
　If we suddenly wanted to make a deal today, naturally, the number of women would be smaller than originally planned.
　It was painful for Ajas, too, but I couldn't help but think of my current situation.

"But if things go well, I can get out of Gillum today. Then, the only way to find a woman who is not sufficient is to get her ready in some other town or village.

　The original plan was to gather the missing women at Abuero and Subursta, but today's Ajas can't afford it.
　If you work in places like Abuero and Subursta, you're more likely to be spotted by Rey, Ilze, or someone watching your current camp.

(Was it lucky or unhappy for me that it wasn't Ray or Ilze who was watching?)

　Ray's absence here means that if we take action, we won't be able to do anything about it immediately.
　But it was a good thing, but it also means that new forces have increased in their pursuit.
　It was painful and itchy... that was Ajas' honest feeling.
　But there's nothing we can do about it.
　All I can do now is hope that my actions will be done in time.
　It's about Lebedev collecting food in a good way, and Haston getting in touch with the organization.
　What is particularly dangerous is Haston, who negotiates with the organizations behind the scenes, rather than collecting food as a matter of course.
　However, Ajas believes both Lebedev and Haston.
　They both said they would do their job properly.

"Why, I never thought I'd have this kind of experience at such a time today. If I could find it, I should have done it after I had accomplished my purpose."

　Wailing for her bad luck, Ajas prayed that she could escape from Gillum safely.
