The bread and soup must have made you feel better. The Beast woman was somewhat alarmed by Ray, who had given her food... a soup full of fresh soft bread and vegetables, which, in some ways, was rather extravagant.
　Still, the reason why she was not completely alarmed is probably due to her inherent prudence.

"Oh, I see," My name is Sharia. You see, the beast of the wolf."

　Although Sharia boasted of her chest, which was slightly larger than average, her clothes were dirty with dirt and dirt, and she was not very proud of them.

(Wolf... I'm glad I didn't mention dog beasts.)

　Ray hears that the wolf beast is in front of him, and when he first sees the ears growing from the top of the woman's head, he praises himself for not calling her a dog beast.

"Well, Sharia," I'm Ray. So... I don't know what to start with. Why are you hiding here in the first place? Looking at your clothes, you came here as a prostitute, didn't you?

　Ray doesn't do anything to stink it, though he thinks he's sure to have been forcibly brought in by Jaya.
　Maybe I really wanted to be a prostitute myself.
　Of course, since I'm hiding like this, I'm sure there's something wrong with it's.

(How does it work?)

　As Ray watches, Sharia opens her mouth angrily in her eyes.

"I'm not kidding! Why do you have to be forced to bring me in and be hugged by a man you don't like!"

　Sharia screams that she can't stand Ray's words.
　Seeing Sharia's condition, Ray nods to her heart.
　He understood that Ray had been looking for, apparently, the man who had been forcibly brought in by Jaya.
　First of all, Ray remembers what to ask first.

"I think there must have been other people besides you who were forced to bring you here, but why are the others happy with the lives of prostitutes?"
"That's... probably because of this,"

　It was a collar that Sharia held out as she spoke.
　Though beautifully decorated, Ray could have guessed that it was a slave collar.
　But at the same time, I doubt it.
　For example, if you were to stand there with a slave collar and give orders to bring something, you could do it normally.
　But for example, let a woman who doesn't like to live as a prostitute... it's only natural that such an order is impossible, and you can't lock yourself down.
　Moreover, as far as Ray could see, all the prostitutes seemed to be working as prostitutes of their own accord.
　At least Ray could not believe that such imitation could be done with such a mass-produced slave collar.

"What do you think I'm lying?"
"No, I don't think so. Actually, the reason why I came to the country of Lavrellina was because Jaya's hand was trying to take people away from the city where I lived."
"...are you here to help the man who was taken away?"

　There is an enviable color in Sharia's eyes.
　When Sharia was taken away, no one would come to help her.
　Or, even if I tried to help, I didn't know who had done this...

"No, I succeeded in helping him out before he was taken away. The reason I came here is to give Gilm a handful."
"What is Gilmoo... that Gilmoo?"

　Sharia is surprised to hear the word guillem coming out of Ray's mouth, too, whether she may have known Guillem's name.

"I don't know what that guillem is, but if you mean guillem in a remote city in the Kingdom of Mileana, that's right."
"Gillum... Gillum... Lies..."

　The word guillem probably had a powerful impact on Sharia.
　I was just dumbfounded... I didn't realize that I dropped the bread in my hand on the ground, so I repeated the word guillem.
　Ray is naturally surprised by Sharia's appearance.
　No, the name of the city, Gilm, is so famous that it is not so strange to know it.
　But it was completely unexpected to be so surprised just to hear the word guillem.

"Calm down. Here, drink this first."

　Having just had the soup, I pass the fruit water out of the mistling, including the meaning of calming Sharia down.
　The fruit water she received from Ray... to be exact, Sharia comes back to herself in an instant when she finds the glass of fruit water cold fruit water.
　Sharia wondered when she had received the glass, but the coldness was very attractive in this season, which is worthy of a tropical night.k.a. tropical night.
　And Sharia, who drank almost instinctively cold fruit water, must have finally calmed down. breathe out a little
　Ray confirms it and opens his mouth again.

"Well, I came from Guillum, and Jaya came to take advantage of Guillum's interference with him."
"What? Oh, yes. I wonder what the Jayas thought of and did to touch Gillum."

　Gilm is a city ruled by Dusker, a neutral figure, whose men and adventurers are all elite.
　Moreover, I hear that Gilmoo has many adventurers with different names, including crimson and lightning axes.
　Was it mad that Jaya, who is only an organization behind the country, should enter such a place? Sharia has that kind of feeling.
　...it's actually Ray in front of Sharia who is nicknamed crimson, but now that Sharia doesn't have the death size, the recently famous twilight spear, and doesn't have a partner named Seto, it's no use noticing it.
　I've taken bread, soup and fruit water out of the mistling, so I might have noticed something else.

"I don't know if Sharia knew it or not, but there is an extension going on in Gilm. Many people are gathering for work for it. That's not to say adventurers and artisans, but ordinary people looking for a day job. Ajas... I'm sure the fellow who belonged to Jaya understood that."
"Oh, I see," If you've lived there for a long time, you'll make a fuss if you disappear suddenly, but if you disappear a newcomer, you won't make such a fuss...?"
"That's the reason why Gilm was a great hunting ground for Ajas. In fact, I noticed it from another incident. If it hadn't been for that incident, I probably wouldn't have noticed it."

　That being the case, Ray's prediction is that the intelligence forces could have seen through Ajas's plot over time.
　At first, the intelligence forces did not suspect Ajas.
　I don't know what would have happened normally, but... I guess that's inevitable considering the number of people gathered in the present guillem.
　Of course, Ajas was aiming for it, too.
　But what was unfortunate for Ajas was that he had someone who was looking after him as his family's enemy.
　That's why the plot was revealed in the potato vine style, and in the end he lost his life.

"Anyway, that's what I'm up to. And may I ask you about Sharia?"
"...yes,"

　Sharia nods hesitantly to Ray's words.
　Having heard of the situation from Ray, he must have thought he couldn't stop talking about it.
　What's more, there's no one in front of Sharia to ask for more help, as she doesn't want to hold herself as a prostitute.

"What do you want to hear first?"
"Well, I was most concerned about this, but because of the collar, the man who was brought in said that he was a prostitute."
"...yeah. How should I say I wear this collar?" Being a prostitute is a wonderful profession, and I've been born to be a prostitute... that's how I think about it."

　Ray is surprised at Sharia's explanation.
　Naturally, there is no such brainwashing effect on the collar of a common slave.
　If Sharia's words are true, it's already a different magic item, not a slave collar.(What's going on? Just because Jaya has so many magic items... isn't this too much?)

　Ray opens his mouth, looking again at the remains of Sharia's collar.

"If you don't mind, will you lend me some?"

　In her extended hand, Sharia gives the collar away, hesitating a little.
　For Sharia, the collar is a symbol of the hatred that tied her to her actions, as well as a testament to what... what's going on.
　In other words, it can be said that it is evidence of damage to the person who caused you this kind of experience.
　That's why I didn't throw away even the hateful magic items that I pretended to bend my will.
　It's only natural to hesitate when asked to lend it.
　It was, however, only a moment of hesitation.
　In the first place, it's no use to have this magic item in your current life...or rather, it's hard to imagine what it would be like to be discovered by the people of Jaya.
　...it must have been fortunate for Sharia that the owner of the brothel, who was in charge of Sharia, had not yet informed him that Sharia had disappeared to conceal his mistake.

"...it doesn't seem to have such a complicated capability, as far as I can see." Well, I can't count on how it looks with magic items."

　Ray muttered as he looked at the collar.
　Ray understood that because he actually used a variety of magic items, it was difficult to understand their performance by their appearance.

"But!"

　Sharia reflexively tries to raise her voice, wondering if she feels that Ray's words won't believe her explanation.
　But before that, Ray nods back that he knows.

"I told you that you can't rely on what you look like. But if I had such magic items, I think I could do a lot more than make money as a prostitute."

　Simply thinking of Ray, soldiers, craftsmen, agriculture... all have a lot of difficulties.
　That's why I was born to prevent it from happening in the middle of my life... If I can make you think so, I don't think there are any magic items that are as useful to those in power.
　But why...?
　Ray has such a question, but there's no way Sharia knows it.

"Anyway, I think we should look into this... I'm afraid I don't have any particular acquaintance here."

　With Gilm, some acquaintances could be entrusted with the area, but Levrellina is equivalent to Ray's enemy.
　In addition, Levrellina is a small country and can never be said to have a high level of alchemy.
　Even if you take it to a bad opponent, you can't figure out the effect of the collar...or even inform Jaya.

(Marina... Do you know what it is?)

　Elena, Vihela, Bune and others will be able to use magic items, but they will not be able to investigate detailed structures or their performance.
　It was, of course, the same with Ray, and the only possibility was the long-living marina.
　However, it seemed almost useless.

"What shall I do? Do I keep this or Sharia has it?" To be honest, I don't think there's much difference between them in terms of performance. But in terms of safety, it's better for me to have it. But you and I have just met. I find it hard to trust or trust. So you decide."

　When Ray says so, Sharia thinks a little... and nods.

"All right. I'll leave this with Ray. Instead, I don't call it every day, but can you bring me food once every few days, because it's hard for me to get food and water in my current situation."

　Surprised by Sharia's unexpectedly simple confidence in him, Ray nodded to the proposal.
