the State of Lavrellina
　It's the same as the kingdom of Milliana in terms of monarchy, but it's very different in scale.
　It is one of many small countries around the kingdom of Mileana, treated as a tributary of the kingdom of Mileana.
　Although I am a tributary country, I am not treated so badly.
　Every year it is necessary to pay money to the Kingdom of Mileana in the name of security deposit, and some people from the Kingdom of Mileana are sent into the administration of the country, but freedom of diplomacy is still guaranteed to some extent.
　In addition, the army from the Kingdom of Mileana is staying, and the necessary funds are also provided by the Kingdom of Lavrellina, but the presence of the army from the Kingdom of Mileana does not make it possible to be attacked by other countries in the vicinity.
　It's not a country with any distinctive characteristics, it's really a small, ordinary country.
　It did not seem to the people who were there, if not very much, that they would act hostilely against the kingdom of Mileana.

"Calm down, as I said, it's not the great Lavulina who ordered us to bring in a woman." It's just my organization."
"...but what would happen if people in the Levreina country caused a disturbance in this country. I don't think they know anything."

　Elena says so with a difficult look on her face.
　In fact, the word is correct.
　If the kingdom of Rebrelina were to harm the kingdom of Mileana, there is no doubt that the kingdom of Rebrelina would impose some kind of penalty on the kingdom of Rebrelina, whether it was at the will of the kingdom or not.
　That, too, caused so much trouble in the guillem ruled by Dusker, a leading figure in the neutrality.
　Naturally, the penalty will be severe.
　Lords and neutrals have been on friendly terms recently, while kings and neutrals are hostile. But it's only within the kingdom of Milliana.
　If this incident benefits the kingdom of Mileana, even if the neutrals are harmed, the royal and aristocratic factions will not touch the country.
　...however, it may be honest that the royalists should do more damage to the neutrals if possible.

"Really...?"

　At first, Elena didn't believe Ajas' words, but when she sees Ajas telling her so confidently, she wonders.
　Under normal circumstances, it is unbelievable that a subordinate country would make a semi-attack on a suzerain.
　However, when I look at the stately adjustments now, I feel that maybe...

"Really. Do you think Lebedev or Haston will lie here at the risk of their lives? If they do so, they will abandon their comrades. Do you think I'll be chosen between organization and peer life?"

　If you say so, Elena and the people around her will have to agree.
　It's clear to Ray, who doesn't know the country of Levrellina, how Ajas feels about the two of his friends.
　That being the case, Ray believes that words from Ajas's mouth deserve credibility.
　...however, it is necessary to get information from others and back them, rather than swallowing all the words of Ajas.

"Yes, then, I'll ask you, is it your decision to come to Gilm or is it an order from the organization?"
"It's an order from the organization,"

　After Elena, Marina asks, and Ajas says without any hesitation.
　The truth of the statement is unknown to the listener.
　But given the facts that Ajas had said and his companions, there was a good chance that they were true.

"But do you take a woman with you to make her a prostitute? ... Why do you go out of your way to imitate her? ... Well, did you have any prejudice against prostitutes?"
"No, I don't think so. For better or worse, it's like an ordinary country."
"You know... if that's the case, you're going to force away only beautiful women and improve the quality of prostitutes?"
"It doesn't mean that brothels are government-run, does it? Then why do you come all the way to other countries just to improve the quality of prostitutes? No, I don't know if they're subordinate countries, but why do you come all the way to the country of course.

　Intelligence personnel only talk to their neighbors in low voices.
　However, Ray, who is originally sharp in five senses, Elena, who inherited the magical stone of the Ensent Dragon, Marina of Dark Elf, Vichela, who absorbed Ambris, and Beune, the thief.
　The conversation between these intelligence men was clearly audible, as most of the non-Arra people there had five senses sharper than ordinary people.

(In the end, what does the organization want to do? To attract prostitutes... it's probably nominal, and I'm sure they're doing something behind the scenes. It's just that they don't know what the adjusters are doing. Well, it can't be helped if you think about it normally.)

　I'm going to take the risk to go to another country... and that's also going to the kingdom of Milliana, the sovereign power.
　If it was found, the country would not hesitate to destroy the organization to which the Ajas belonged, as the country itself could be in danger.
　Why do you behave like this in the face of such danger?
　That was beyond Ray's grasp. 　

(The possibility is that the organization itself was backed up by the government... even if it didn't go that far, did it get some support from people in important positions in the country? No, I don't know why they did this.)

　Ajas opens his mouth to Ray, who is worried about it.

"I told you the information. Will this save our lives?"
"...yes,"

　At Ajas's words, Ray turns his eyes to Ilze.
　There, Ilze glared at Ajas with a murderous stare.
　If we say we forgive Ajas here, Ilze will certainly run wild.
　There will be a great uproar, and it may take advantage of it that Jestal and his men will escape.
　And most importantly...

"Yes, I thought about it, but if you make use of your adjustment, you'll have a lot of trouble. I'm afraid you can't allow me to keep you alive, let alone the other two."

　Ray saw no value in keeping Ajas alive.
　If anyone could say that life is all equal here, and that it is most precious... maybe this would have been a problem too.
　Fortunately, however, no one here says such a thing.

"Stupid! Why are we the only ones! Didn't Ajas help us?"

　Lebedev, who has always been a little soft-spoken, may well be rough-spoken in this situation where... his fellow lives are dying out.
　Ray opens his mouth with a cold stare at the scene.

"How many, dozens, or more people have you killed so far? Even those who were killed must have been as worried as you who were about to kill Ajas. But you guys killed me regardless of it. Why, then, should you be in such a position?"

　I can't understand it from the bottom of my heart.
　Lebedev, who was looking at him like that, tried to say something... he understood how cold his gaze was, and he couldn't help but shut his mouth.
　In fact, Lebedev's judgment is that companionship is important, but everything else matters.
　It wasn't by any means wrong, but when asked if they could break the current situation, the answer was no.

"Shut up, if you know," It will save your life at least, so be content with it."
"Wait! If you kill Ajas, I won't talk! Haston should be the same!"

　It was not Ray... but one of the men in the intelligence force who responded to Lebedev's words.

"If you can pretend that you don't give us any information after our interrogation, I think you can be proud of it." No one has been able to do it so far."

　The intelligence force is not a public organization.
　That's why illegal interrogation... is not so much to blame for what we call torture.
　No, if it's just torture, it's not that unusual.As long as the meaning of the word human rights is not clearly established, that level of practice is commonplace.
　In the first place, if there is a word human rights, slavery itself would be a problem.

"d*mn!"

　I'm sure Lebedev understands the area. be at a loss for words

"That's enough about Ajas?"
"Yes,"

　Seeing Lebedev's silence, Ray asked a man in the intelligence force.
　Originally, Ajas was supposed to be taken by Ilze, but the man in the intelligence unit tells him that he wants to hear some information from Dahl, so that's no problem.
　Seeing it, Ray calls out to Ilze again.

"That's the case. You've put up with it. Do as you please."

　Ilze nodded silently to Ray's words.
　With a dagger in his hand, he slowly and slowly shrinks his distance from Ajas.

"Wait! Aja-ha!"

　Lebedev tries to say something to Ilze, but a nearby intelligence man puts a cloth over Lebedev's mouth and blocks his words.
　Irze approaches Ajas without a trace of concern for such communication.
　Ajas kept silent and fixed his gaze on such Ilze.
　Whatever you say here, you understand that there is no point in saying anything unless you think Ilze will stop his revenge.
　Even if we try to do something about it, there is nothing we can do about it now, surrounded by lay people.

"Dad, mother, brother. The crime of robbing three members of my family... make amends with that order."
"Well, apparently I'm done with it. But is it all right?"

　At the words of Ajas, Ilze stops moving.
　Originally, he intended to ignore Ajas' words and take his life with a dagger.
　However, after hearing Ajas' words, Ilze stops working.
　Perhaps Ajas's words of begging for his life will come out of his mouth.
　You must have felt that way.
　I want Ajas to suffer as hard as he can, because he is going to take revenge.
　In that sense, Ilze's idea was that he would be very welcome if he were to beg for his life.
　But... there is no obsequious color in the eyes of Ajas before Ilze.
　In other words, he is looking at Ilze with provocative eyes.

"What, I wonder? No matter what I say now, it will not change the end of your life."
"Isn't this your first time killing someone? Of course, I'm not saying it with any certainty, but as far as you look at it, I think so." ...what do you think?"

　That was right.
　Ilze has been an adventurer since then.
　There's very little experience of killing people.
　Still, Ilze neither wants to stop nor hesitate from killing Ajas.

"You're right, apparently," I'll give you advice after killing so many people for the first time."
"Advice?"
"Oh, ... if you're going to kill me, that's all right." But when you kill me, you become a member of the murderer. In other words, it means that you will be the same as me."
"No!"

　Ilze immediately denies Ajas' words.
　But Ajas shook his head when he heard Ilze's words.
　The impact splashes blood around her hand, which held her right ear, but Ajas opens his mouth unconcernedly.

"No, there's no reason, but in the sense of murder, that's right. though life in this world is cheap."

　Some members of the intelligence force nod their agreement to the remark.
　Some of the intelligence forces were under Egg, others were pulled out of adventurers, former assassins... and so on.
　Such people are the reason why I can understand Ajas's words that human life is cheap.
　In fact, adventurers must overcome the challenge of killing thieves by themselves when they take the rank-up exam.

"...but I'll kill you,"

　As he spoke, Ilze again kept his distance from Ajas... and shook his dagger down to his head.
