Ray turns around questionably to a voice from behind.
　The question is, why did you go out of your way to talk to yourself?
　Ray is clad in dragon robes, but his ability to hide them from prominence as magic items.
　In other words, Ray now looks only like a normal -- a little flashy -- robe-wearing person.
　What's more, Ray is shorter than the rest of the guests and looks like a childlike.
　Ray came to Mejogo in the name of social studies, but he would never be considered a better customer than any other customer.
　But why do you voice yourself? You can ask such a question like that.
　Looking back at Ray with such doubts was still young... a prostitute who seemed to be in her late teens.
　She is lightly made up, but if anything, she should be described as cute, not beautiful.

"Me?"

　Ray replies to the woman who approaches him.
　The woman nods with a smile at Ray's appearance.

"Yes, sir," Hey, you've probably never been here before, right? So before you get caught in a strange restaurant, you're wondering if you're with me. Now that you look like this, and you've only been a prostitute a while ago, you'll be able to enjoy a fresh woman's body."

　Even if you're still young, you're not a prostitute.
　The woman looks at Ray and asks him.
　Ray, who has never bought a prostitute, unfortunately doesn't seem to have noticed her behavior, though he's still quite used to it.

"I got a recommendation from an acquaintance who came with me..."
"Oh, no, no. Don't you think that the shop you choose with the eyes of a prostitute can go to the nearest shop rather than the shop you choose with the eyes of a customer."
"That's..."

　The prostitute's words gently distract Ray.
　In fact, Ray's favorite restaurant is the one that ordinary customers will be satisfied with, and the one that the chef who actually cooks will be satisfied with.
　The latter is, after all, the more satisfactory.
　Of course, it's a big premise that customers will be satisfied, except for smug thinking.
　At any rate, if you choose a recommended brothel, it's definitely a good idea to ask a brothel.
　...though Ray didn't come here to buy a prostitute, he came to see what was going on with the women who had been forcibly taken away.

"Well, that sounds interesting too... but I want to go around the mejogo more and see exactly what the place is like. I might buy a prostitute after that, but... I'm afraid I can't do it right now. And..."

　So when she sees Ray once he stops talking, she bends her head mysteriously.

"And what's the matter?"
"No, because, given what you said, it is your shop that you show me?"
"Uh, oh, that's..."

　It must have been the case. The prostitute gently turns away from Ray.
　But getting back in shape quickly is probably a sign of quick recovery.

"But my shop is famous in the neighborhood. I'll do my best, too. What do you think?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Oh, now that you mention it, will you tell me your name, Len?"
"Ren?"

　For a moment Ray said to Len... but only for a moment, the prostitute looked mystified.
　Under normal circumstances, it would be no surprise to miss the moment.
　However, it was too much of a stretch to think Ray was normal in the first place.
　And as soon as she sniffs out the woman's abnormalities, the alertness inside Ray rapidly increases.
　Still, it's probably from my experience of going through many battles that I don't show that I'm wary of women.

"Yes, I'm Len. What about you?"
"What? Me? Oh, didn't I introduce myself? I'm Sula. Thank you very much."

　The prostitute, named Sula, smiles broadly, perhaps happy to introduce herself to Ray.
　But Ray, who had just seen a momentary doubt, suspected that the woman, Sula, had already crushed her original feelings and was in front of her in a mask of a new prostitute.

(The look on my face...is it because I know I'm Ray? Well, when I entered the Rossi, I used a guild card and people around me were surprised, so I wouldn't be surprised if the information was circulating.)

　When I think about it, I don't think it's necessary to be that vigilant, but I think it's necessary to be vigilant now.
　If you came in contact with me from the beginning, I don't know what you're aiming for.

"Yes, Mr. Sula. Thank you very much."
"I don't mind if you do, but I'd like you to buy me one, if possible." No? No, really?"
"As I said, it's no good now. I'd like to see more of this mejogo. Besides, beautiful sisters are a feast for the eyes."

　As soon as he says so, he feels as if he's moving in the Dragon Robe, and he continues in a panic.

"Well, then, I'll excuse myself." If I can see you again, I'll be looking forward to seeing you again."
"What? Oh, a little... I see. Well, if I see you again, I'll play with you!"

　Sula tried to say something to Ray, but before that Ray had already left her.
　He probably decided that persistent advances to Ray would only hurt his image.
　Sula sees Ray off as he leaves, with a slightly regretful regret.
　When Ray finds himself completely out of sight, he goes straight into the alley between the nearby brothel and the brothel.
　There are many lights on the street, but they are simply entertaining to the eyes of the guests.
　Naturally, there is no such thing as an alley.
　Still, the moon floating on a midsummer night brought some brightness to the earth, partly because there was no cloud.
　Although Sula was walking in such a dim moonlight, her face did not have a lovable smile on it.
　There is no emotion on his face so much that no one could think that the word "expressionless..." would look so good on him.
　Being dressed like a prostitute, the expressionless Sula is more like a doll or something.

"So, how was it? Is it Ray?"
"Yes, maybe... but there was a suspicion of me in the middle of the conversation. I thought I was able to speak in the middle."
"...you? Did you get suspicious?"
"It seems so," I'm not sure if that's the ability of a notorious high-ranking adventurer.""So what are we going to do? Are we going to come into contact? You know, but our military strength is very low, no matter how you look at it. ...and one of his strongholds was attacked yesterday. They are the same people."

　It was a man's voice trying to suppress his emotions, but it wasn't always successful.
　No, the more I failed, the more hatred there was in his tone.

"I know," However, if you move around carelessly, it will be crushed as soon as possible. -- a case of spring, you know full well, don't you?"

　a spring affair
　When the man was told that he was about to shout something back, but realized where they were now, he spoke as if he had been forced to kill them.

"I know," ...that's why I've lost all my company at once. But if we don't move here, there's a possibility that they'll come to Ray, or that Ray's to the organization... to the Jayas."

　The moment he mentioned the name of the organization Jaya, there was an unmistakable hatred in his words.
　But I think it's inevitable for Sula to see such a man.
　His lover was taken away and forced to work as a prostitute... and eventually his life was lost.
　Moreover, the reason for the loss of life is the reason.
　It may not be quite acceptable, but it may not be acceptable.

"Well, if Jaya is going to touch it, he'll only have to suffer... but I wonder why he'll come when he's going to do something."
"...well, I don'tell me. Wasn't the guy from Jaya interfering with Ray? I don't know why he went out of his way to get in touch with Gilm, where Ray is based."
"Do you do that? Even if you have all the war potential, this country is only a small country after all, because there are many villages and places to attack in the countryside in the Kingdom of Milliana."
"Isn't that why you're doing extensions? That's why people gather...?"

　Information about the extensions going on in Guilm will be flowing to the country of Levrellina. A man says so easily.
　Levrellina, more than a month's drive from Guillum, is still well informed, and it shows how widely known the expansion work is.
　That's why so many people from all over the country, let alone neighboring countries, flocked to Gilm for work.

"But... no, well, that's all right." Anyway, it's clear that Ray isn't employed by the Jayas. ...when I first heard that crimson was coming to Rossi, I was in a hurry to see if he had hired me."

　As she says so, Sula looks faintly relieved.
　There is a huge difference in military strength between Jaya and ourselves, who already have close ties to the upper echelons of the country.
　If even the notorious adventurers join forces with Jaya, they will hopelessly open their arms.
　Such behavior was absolutely unacceptable.

"Ray came to Rossi with a lot of women, didn't he? So if you knew what Jaya was doing, wouldn't the women, let alone Ray, cooperate? I guess Ray's party members have the power to do it."

　In these cases, there is no shortage of women who rely entirely on men... or vice versa.
　But I remember hearing from a merchant from the Kingdom of Milliana that at a party led by Ray, there was no such thing and everyone was strong enough.
　That's why Ray understood it would be a powerful force if he could win over to his side even if he couldn't.
　And knowing the circumstances, they're probably... almost certainly going to cooperate with them.
　But when Surah hears such a man's words, she shakes her head.

"It's dangerous to touch it carelessly. I couldn't be more reassured in terms of military strength, but they are still from other countries. I haven't confirmed it completely yet, but it is said that one of them is the princess general."
"Oh!? Really! Then!"

　a spirited man
　That's only natural. for if it were indeed the Princess General, there was no doubt in this country... and there was no way I could miss what was going on in this Majogo.

"Calm down. I told you earlier, didn't I? You're from another country after all. If Jaya knows what she's doing, she might help her to stop it. But what do you think will happen after that?"
"What will happen to the people of Jaya, including the nobles?"
"Well, I suppose so," Do you really think that's all it takes?"
"...what do you mean?"
"If the rumor about General Hime is true, General Hime will be all right. But what about the people behind them? As Hollands probably knows, General Hime is a symbol of the aristocracy, the aristocracy. Now, do you think this will know what Jaya is doing and leave it as it is?"

　The next moment Sula slightly changes her expression to a wry smile and opens her mouth again.

"Well, it seems that behind Ray is a neutral faction of the aristocracy... and yet there's a rumor that he's still more conversable than the aristocracy."

　Sula's words make Hollans look difficult and keep him speechless.
　It was because the resistance to which Sula and Hollans belonged couldn't have been better known.
