I was introduced by Eunju.
　Hearing the man say so, Marina quickly uses spiritual magic to keep their conversations from leaking.
　...and yet it is a sign of Marina's overwhelming skill in using the spirit magic of the Marina, where the spirit of the wind makes the conversation sound appropriately different.
　Ray opens his mouth when he sees Marina nodding.

"You mean... resistance?"
"Yes. I say no, and I cooperate with the resistance in Rossi."
"Cooperation? I mean, you're not a member of the resistance?"

　Norcol nods back to Ray's question.

"Yes, I'm not exactly a member of the Resistance. though I am always ready to be in the Resistance."

　Norcol, who seems genuinely sorry, has a sad expression on his face.

"What happened? It looks like there's no reason."
"...the mere collaborator of the Resistance is quite reasonable."

　In Marina's words, Vihela muttered.
　Norcol continues his words as if he were changing his mind, perhaps hearing such Vihela's words.

"In fact, a little while ago, one of the resistance's strongholds was attacked by Jaya's hands, and as a result, the resistance's strength was greatly reduced. That's why the upper levels of the resistance are broken down... and now young people are the main ones."

　The words must have changed Norcol's mind.
　However, I feel as if I've bitten a bitter insect.
　In fact, the resistance has lost a great deal of strength.
　The mainstay of the resistance was attacked and half annihilated.
　Some survived, but only a few.
　There are even fewer of the few who have survived minor or unscathed injuries.
　As a result, the resistance's strength has shrunk significantly, breaking the hearts of those who were at the top of the resistance at the time.

"It was particularly painful that there was a man named Zuil, who had fought and won against a Rank C adventurer, and who, as I say to Mr. Ray, might win against a Rank B adventurer."

　Seeing Norcol shake his head, everyone in the room could easily imagine what the man named Zuil had been through.
　But after hearing Norcol's explanation, Ray and his colleagues all question.

"Is there such a strong guy in the country of Lavrellina? For the time being, I could see from the guild that the quality of adventurers is poor. Oh, but I saw a woman who looked like an oak in Mejogo. It looked pretty strong."
"Oh, that's Lurina,"

　She must have been a famous person because she was easily mentioned as a woman resembling an oak.

"Lurina is known to be one of the most skillful in the Jaya. But it wasn't... it wasn't the lurina that attacked the resistance. I don't know exactly because it's a biographical story, but the person who attacked everything was quite big."
"... a huge body?"

　Ray is sometimes short, but basically there are many tall people in this world.
　Is it related to having to fight monsters, or is it related to magic... Ray didn't know about that, but basically, many of the inhabitants of this Elgin are worthy of being called tall by Ray.
　In this world where people over two meters are not so uncommon, Ray, who was called a giant, was not a human being, but a monster like an auger or cyclops who fought before.

"Yes, it's about two heads bigger than me."

　The words remind Ray of Norcol's height as he approached.
　If it were two heads bigger than Norcol, it would be half a meter... no, nearly three meters.
　He was not as big as an auger or cyclops, but he was obviously a giant human being.
　Of course, if it were true, it would be that
　If Norcol saw it in person, you could still believe something.
　However, when it comes to human history, it is true that we cannot help but doubt it.
　However, there is no point in saying whether or not you can believe the story in this situation.
　Whatever information it was, it was also paramount to gather it.

"That giant ... may be a little too small to call him a giant, but was it done by one of them anyway? The giant may have been strong, but it is still done by one of them..."

　For a moment, Ray hesitated whether to express it alone or alone, but judging from Norcol's story that it was not a monster, he expressed it alone.
　Ray told me so, but... what Norcol returned was a shake of his head.

"No, I'm not alone. There were at least ten people -- at least ten."
"...what?"

　Norcol's words naturally gave Ray a stupid voice.
　If there is only one person who is close to three meters tall, I can still understand. I'm sure two of you will be able to make sense of it.
　However, if there are ten of them, there will only be a sense of strangeness.
　Why is it more than 10 people who are 3m tall?

"Isn't it a hallucination, or a small individual like an auger, not a human being?"
"No, the face belonged to a human being. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　It seemed difficult to say, or even if I said it, you wouldn't believe me, but I went on with my words as if I had decided.

"Well, I've heard that the face of the giant was all the same."
"...what?"

　a stupid voice coming out of Ray's mouth again
　For a moment, Ray wondered if it was a joke or something, but Norcol's gaze was very serious and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

"Well, that's... twins, for example... in this case, there were more than ten people, so what should I say, ten children? Anyway, isn't it like that?"
"Well, Ray," Twins and triplets might as well be, but it's impossible to take care of ten people at once in a while. What's more, they're all big enough to be called giants, right? Then it's not strange that they're all big enough to be called giants from birth."

　When Vihela tells me so, Ray nods to me.
　Pregnancy is an act only permitted by women, and it's completely incomprehensible to a man, Ray... yes, it's a mystery.
　If the woman Vihela says so, Ray has to agree.
　Indeed, both Elena and Marina nodded as they looked at the others.
　Bune alone was still a child, and he was hanging his head, perhaps not sure about it.

"But ... why are there so many giants with the same face?"

　Norcol shakes his head to Ray, who asks in pure doubt.
　Being huge alone is a powerful weapon.
　Of course, those who had more than a certain strength... that meant that they might not be able to beat the likes of the Reyes here, but that they would be more powerful than those who had less than a certain strength.
　In fact, Ray's prediction is not so wrong, given that the main force of the resistance has been unilaterally trampled down.

"The same face... that would be a clue." ...what? The same face... the same face? The same face!?"

　Suddenly Ray, who was talking with the same face, muttered forcefully as if he had noticed something.
　The sharp words were so powerful that anyone who knew nothing could faint.
　However, Ray is lost in thought, noticing the attention being given to him by the people around him.

(This body I use was created by Zepiles. Then, despite the difference between science and magic, it is not impossible to create a body. I mean, even if there's a homunculus or something like that...)That's what Ray thinks, but questions remain.
　In the first place, Zepyle, who was so powerful as to be called a witch, and his followers... the greatest number of geniuses in history gathered together to create Ray's body.
　It's not the same... but how can a similar thing happen to a small country called Levrellina, which is, after all, just a back organization?
　I don't think I can do that in a normal way.

(Then, besides purely magic and alchemy techniques, I can't believe that no matter how skilled I am to mass-produce a slave collar, I can't believe I can... wait.) a slave collar?)

　While I was thinking about it, something suddenly touched Ray's intuition.
　The collar of slaves, the ability to change the consciousness of women who have been forcibly taken away from other countries, and the desire of women who can change their consciousness is prostitution. ...and... the adventurer who got involved with him in the mejogo said that his favorite prostitute had disappeared.
　The fact that they are already operating without any problems, even though they should have taken dozens, hundreds, and hundreds of women away from the mainstream.
　All of them together... a disgusting... that's what makes Ray think very repulsive.
　The look on Ray's face must have made him think he had come to terms with the idea. Elena speaks to represent everyone as she quietly watches.

"Ray, let me know if you have any idea. for I can't give up the possibility that it will help to break through the present situation."
"…I see. But, to be honest, it's quite a bad story, and shall I hear it? ... to the point where I think it's better not to let Bune hear it for now."

　Everyone looks at Bune at the words, but... he shakes his head with a skewer in his hand.

"Yes,"

　I only muttered as usual, but Ray understood Bune's point.
　When I hear it myself, I tell him so.
　Bune is still young... no, young, but an adventurer.
　It's also a labyrinthine city, and I've worked as a solo artist since I was even younger than I am now.
　I've also seen a lot of dirty scenes since I was born.
　It was no pleasure for Bune to be ostracized.
　Their facial expressions were almost the same as usual, but if they had been acting together for a certain period of time, they could understand that they were slightly frowned upon.
　It was Ray who got that kind of stare and eventually lost ground.
　Then, after a small sigh, Ray opens his mouth.

"Probably the giant who attacked the resistance... created it... no, it was the prostitute who literally started to give birth. And prostitutes are sacrificed to give birth to them."

　Ray's words take everyone's breath away.
　No, I'm surprised that Norcol is the only small one, but that's it.
　Looking at Norcol's appearance, Ray understands that he probably had the same idea as himself.
　The hints have been so blatantly laid out.
　As a resistance -- he says he's a collaborator -- it won't be too difficult to reach the same conclusion as Ray if he's working in Rossi.

"Yes, indeed," ...to be honest, it would be a lie if you said you didn't doubt it. But if you ask me if I can do such a thing... I honestly don't know."

　Norcol asks Ray with a difficult look.
　He was an excellent intelligence worker, but he probably didn't know much about magic or alchemy.
　That's why I could not confirm it, though I expected it to be.

"Considering whether it's possible or not... I can only say it's possible. But I don't know the specific method. But that makes sense."
"...but to such an evil degree, is there any high-ranking officials in the country involved? If they were known to be doing such a thing, that would be a great disturbance, even if they were the king of one country."
"I suppose,"

　No one disagrees with Elena's words.
　That's why everyone nodded convincingly to what he said.
　But... in the meantime, Ray had the idea that maybe.
　This Lavrellina is a subordinate state...and one of the earliest subordinates to the kingdom of Mileana.
　It didn't seem to me that the upper echelons of such a small country would join forces with the organizations behind it... to do so much.
