1513 Episode 1513



a literal entertainment district consisting of a brothel and a bar
 It ended up being Ray...now he was alone in a crowded place to ride in a carriage to the major.

"Squeak?"

 ...no, not exactly alone, but one by one, including the yellow that has slipped into his pocket.
 Usually, the role of Yero is Seto, but... Seto is too conspicuous.
 It was also necessary to have Yellow fly to me as a way to get in touch with mejogo as soon as possible.
 A pair of oaves would not have been necessary, but unfortunately Ray's pair of oaves are lent to Guillum's arra.
 That's why Ray was in a crowded place with Yero to ride in a carriage.
 ...it is Ray's prediction that, of course, he will act with Ray because he can see his memory.

"Oh? Oh, are you heading to Mejogo, too? You look young... You like me."

 One of the men in the crowd must have noticed Ray's presence.
 He calls out to Ray with a big smile.
 Ray, as usual, wears a dragon robe and a hood.
 It may be difficult to estimate his age from his appearance, but it may be because Ray's face looks faint in the hood... and, most importantly, his physique itself is small.
 Still, Ray is relieved that the child was not told to go home.

(Well, I'm heading for the majogo, so I might be paralyzed.)

 Ray opens his mouth, feeling him quiet in the Dragon Robes.

"Yes, my father told me to study society a little bit."

 Ray responds to the man he speaks to, in a tone that makes his back slightly itchy.

"Hahaha," Is that so? Is it social studies. It's true that majorogo could be a good place to study. The priest goes up the steps of an adult as soon as possible."
"Huh? Hey, Kotonara, what's the matter with that priest?"
"Oh, this priest is going to Mejogo to study society."
"What? Is it a major for social studies? Isn't that dangerous in many ways?"

 The person who spoke to Ray... the man who spoke to him called Kotnara muttered anxiously as he looked at him.
 They're both men in their thirties, and they're in their prime of life.
 That's why he must have been looking forward to it.
 Still, the man who spoke to Kotonara probably has a common sense side.
 He looks a little hesitant about whether to take someone as old as Ray to Mejogo.
 But Kotonara opens her mouth with a smile, patting him on the shoulder several times.

"Don't worry," It was when I was younger than that priest that I had first had a woman?"
"... you've been curious since you were little, or rather interested in women."

 Ray was watching the conversation between the two apparently childhood friends, but if things go on like this, he will probably be sent home.
 To judge and worry about it's a problem.

(Was it a failure to use this tone? No, but you might encounter someone who knows my personality and so on... and when you think about it, you should definitely look like a naive little boy.)

 Worried, Ray still talks to Kotonara and the other man.

"Don't worry, sir. Even though I look like this, I'm quite confident in my power. If anything happens, I think I can run away."
"... well, as far as he is concerned, he seems quite a good hand."

 The man who approaches Kotonara looks at Ray and tells him so.
 If it had been Gilm here and Kotnara and the other man had more than a certain amount of skill, they would not have been able to see Ray's movements.
 However, this is not a guillem full of talented adventurers, but the capital of the kingdom of Mileana.
 Not many of them were so skilled as to be expected, and indeed neither the Cotonara nor Ray could see through his skill.

"I'm glad you understood it. So you don't have to worry about me, so with Kotonara... well...

 Kotonara opens her mouth when she sees Ray at a loss for words.

"Oh, this is my rotten Jill. I hope you will you?"
"Why do you introduce yourself to me?" ... well, that's why it's Jill. Nice to meet you, priest,"
"Yes, Mr. Cotonara and Mr. Jill, thank you very much."

 Tell him so, Ray bows small.
 What comes to mind on my face is a smile.
 There is little information Ray knows about his upcoming majors.
 That's just what I heard from a man who got involved in a bar.
 Since the man also said he had never been to Mejogo in person, there will be a lot of information available from both Kotnara and Jill, who have been to Mejogo many times before.
 In that sense, I thought it was worth wearing a cat like this.
 When Ray looked around him with his head up, there were more people than before.
 There is a slight irritation in Ray when he thinks he's making so much money.
 If only those who normally wished to be prostitutes were in Mejogo, Ray wouldn't think much.
 Ray himself doesn't want to go, but he might even be impressed that it's the way the country does.
 A town made up of nothing but brothels and bars... because I thought it wasn't a bad way to do it in general.
 As customers come purely for drinks and women, Mejogo will make an awful lot of money overnight, depending on the service.
 Moreover, the number of customers will increase further if the presence of Mejogo is known not only to the countries of Levulina but also to neighboring countries.
 But... that's only the case when it's done by those who want to be prostitutes.
 Or even if you buy a person who commits a debt or crime and becomes a slave prostitute, that makes Ray understand.
 But it was unacceptable, as Ajas had done, to take women away from other villages and towns, and even from other countries, and to make them prostitute.

(And there are many contradictions in Ajas' behavior. take a woman away into prostitution That's all right. However, there must be a fixed number of prostitutes who can work in Mejogo. That's no way we can increase the number of prostitutes. If you do that, you'll run short of land.)

 Even though this is not a frontier, an exterior wall would be necessary to prevent intruders.
 What's more, the place where women, alcohol and money are all present makes it a great prey for the bandits.
 Then, naturally, it is necessary to surround it with exterior walls, and the land is naturally limited.
 Even if you bring women to such places one after another, it's certain that there will be too many prostitutes and more brothels in the future.

(And it's probably not just adjustments that bring women in. indeed, the intelligence services were saying the information that made it smell bad.)

 That being the case, the number of prostitutes in Mejogo had to constantly decrease, as opposed to the ever-increasing number of prostitutes.
 If these were a few people, it might be possible that they would have paid for themselves.
 In other words, it was certain that there was something to blame for the decrease in the number of prostitutes.
 If we can ascertain the circumstances, this incident will be a successful reconnaissance.

"Oh, here we are. Get ready for a carriage, too."
"Oh, yes... Come to think of it, I didn't introduce myself." I'm Ren."
"Welcome to the adult world, Len."When Cotonara smiles and tells Ray, who gives himself the pseudonym Len, the carriage stops just at that moment.
 There are five horse‐drawn carts.
 It's a pretty horse-drawn carriage, too, and it would be difficult for ordinary merchants to get such a horse-drawn carriage.

(You seem to be making a lot of money, after all.)

 Impressed, the carriage stops in time.
 Then the door opens and each begins to ride in a carriage side by side.
 Ray naturally lines up in the same carriage as Kotonara and Jill to gather information.

"Hey, hey! Why? I used to go to Mejogo, too.

 Ray was lining up to get into the carriage when he heard such a voice.
 I turned my eyes to the sound of the voice, where I saw a man being pulled out of the line with two men grabbing him by the sides.

"Well, but you've been violent against prostitutes, haven't you? Not once or twice. Many times. You've probably been warned many times before, right?"
"That's..."

 When the coachman says so, he can't speak any further.
 It's probably because what the coachman says is true.

(Now that you mention it, you said you would sort out the wrong customers.)

 Thinking so, Ray looks at the man standing in front of the carriage door.
 Judging from the current conversation, those men have a role to play to get rid of who they don't think is appropriate for mejogo.
 Kotonara and Jill both ride in a carriage without any problems.
 As if to follow them, Ray also tries to get into the carriage... moment two men waiting by the door of the carriage move slightly, but nothing more tells Ray.
 Apparently, he thinks he has passed, and gets into a carriage.
 The carriage is rather cramped, unlike the gaudy exterior.
 They're probably increasing the number of seats to accommodate more people.
 Ray wondered for a moment whether the aristocrats of this country would complain, but if you think about it, there was no aristocratic class among the people who had gathered before.
 Then the aristocrats decide that they probably have a carriage of their own carriage.

(Well, I can't see the inside from the outside.)

 You can tell with a little knowledge that this carriage is heading for Mejogo.
 In other words, that's how many people want to treat a place called Mejogo.

"Oh, Len, sit here. They might be crushed elsewhere."
"All right. ...but you often get out of the Rossi at night. Isn't the gate usually closed at night?"
"Huh? Oh, there's no problem about that's all right. There are probably a lot of things upstairs, but... it doesn't matter to us. It's enough to have fun in bars and brothels."
"Well... but you keep the gates closed because it's dangerous at night, what if a band of thieves were attacking you? I think a band of thieves who were moving so confidently at night would be the best game for them."

 If this was around Gilm, Ray was more concerned about monster attacks than thieves.
 But this is not a remote guillem.
 Of course, monsters like goblins can come out, but it's still the thieves who are more likely to encounter them.
 Ray raised such a question, but Kotonara looked at the front of the carriage with a smile on her face... possibly toward the coachman ahead of her.

"You saw me catching the adventurous man so easily that all the guards of this carriage were very good."
"You are a good hand, then, an adventurer?"

 At the words, Kotonara... and Jill, who was listening next to her, stopped moving.
 No, it's not just the two of them. Even those who were in the same carriage and listened to Ray's words stopped moving.

(Was it too hard?)

 Ray thought so for a moment when he looked around him, but I can't undo what he said a few seconds ago.
 a few seconds of silence
 Fortunately, however, the silence is broken by Kotonara's mouth the next moment.

"Well, Len is still young, so I know he's interested in a lot of things. But there are things in the world that you should never be interested in. Don't forget about it?"
"Yes. I honestly don't know what I shouldn't have heard, but I'll be careful next time."
"Hahaha. Do you apologize when you don't know what's wrong with you? He's a big fish."

 Kotonara's words dispel the tension in the carriage.
 Ray smiled as if he were a well-known Rank B adventurer, wondering what would happen if he was a notorious Rank B adventurer.
