On the night of their arrival in Dolgana, there was a great stir in Dolgana.
　It's not a bad thing to say, though, that it's a little bit of a festive affair.
　Dolgana was a city in terms of size, but it is still a small city called the Levlarina.
　Naturally, there was no such thing as nearly a thousand people a day, and it was only natural that it would cause a great stir.
　There's also a lot of commercial profit to be had by the Zorgay trade association from its Dolgana stores, and even at night a huge ship suddenly appears just outside the city, and many of the women who came during the day -- including a few men -- get in the boat, so there's no way they're going to miss the spotlight.
　Not many people who live in Durgana have seen a ship in the first place, and many say it's the first time a sandboat has seen a ship.
　As a result, many people even went out of town to see sandboats, and when they saw it, Gimekara even thought to Ray, "Why should I have paid for the sightseeing?"
　At night, however, those who had come to see it would return to Dolgana, and the Reys had eaten and now they have free time.
　...and Ray wondered if many people would eat in Dolgana because it was supposed to be on the way, but in reality most people returned to the sandboat and finished eating.
　This is a financial problem, but above all, many people are looking for water produced by running daggers that can only be drunk at night.
　It's just water, but in terms of taste, it's water that even princes and nobles can't drink.
　If they could drink it, it was only natural that many people would prioritize eating in the city.
　Because...

"Ray! You can sell this water!"

　Even Gimekara, who usually looks mild, changes her eyes and says so.
　With the magic of running dagger and Ray, you can call it heaven's sweet dew.
　The cost of ingredients is free, so there is no doubt that it will be more profitable.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to turn this into a business." It's all right to drink among ourselves."

　To be precise, it was obvious that if this water was for sale, there would be a lot of trouble.
　It's no wonder the nobles, let alone the royals, want to surround Ray in search of delicious water.
　That would naturally cause Ray to turn it down and cause trouble.
　And in the worst case, there was a possibility that he could no longer be in the kingdom of Milliana.
　Ray was ready to abandon his country when it came to the crunch, but he still didn't intend to force himself to take it in that direction.
　Originally, the amount of water produced does not come out in large quantities, but only little by little by little.
　If so, if they were to sell water in earnest, they would have to do something that would keep Ray running all day.

"I see. ... No, but this is definitely the reason why there are so few people out of this group. You only distribute this water at night, don't you?"
"Yes,"
"If you use this water to soothe your tiredness during the day, you may fall asleep. Then when I wake up the next day, I walk all day hoping to drink this water again... and at night I can drink this water again. That's how you sleep to heal your tiredness."

　It's true that this is the case, but it's true that Ray didn't aim at it, but it's natural.
　In the first place, Ray made her drink the running dagger at night only to mean that she had worked hard all day today.

"Well, let's not talk about water. -- Elena, ask for a pair of oves."
"All right,"

　Outside the magic tent, near the bonfire, Elena activates a pair of oves.
　Gimekara watched Elena with interest, wondering if it was her first time seeing the pair of oves.
　A pair of oves are activated, and eventually, Arra's image is shown there.

'How's it going, Mr. Elena.
"It's not bad. ... No, thanks to the help of the Zorgay trade, the speed of travel will increase considerably from tomorrow. So... Ray."

　Looking at Elena, Ray nods and calls out to Arra.

"As I heard from Elena, now that Gimekara has fulfilled her promise, I must also fulfill her promise. Arra is still the lord's house, isn't she?"
'Yes. I don't know when I'll have to contact Mr. Dusker.'
"That's just right, then, will you take your place, Mr. Dusker?"
'All right, please wait a moment,'

　Rey's words make Arra nod and disappear in front of the pair of obes.
　This is a busy time for Dusker.
　Under normal circumstances, this kind of business doesn't mean that Dusker will come right away.
　That's probably possible because Dusker has high expectations for this behavior involving Ray.
　Gimekara looks at Ray, who is easily sent for Dusker without a prior appointment.

"It's amazing, Ray."
"That's how much Mr. Dusker expects of course. It would have been an unexpected fortune for Mr. Dusker to have so many people."
'It was unexpected, but I was expecting something to happen.'

　It was Dusker who broke into Ray and Gimekara's conversation and appeared on the other side of the pair'

"I beg your pardon, Dusker,"
'No, don't worry. So... it was about the Solgey business?"
"Yes, I've got everything I've given you for introducing you to Dusker, and I've decided to pay for it."
"Well, it was a carriage and a horse that towed it, all sorts of supplies and bodyguards. ...are you sure you've got it together?'
"I checked it with my own eyes. a carriage, a horse, a bodyguard I don't think there's any problem with all the other goods."
'All right. ... And? Who is the man on the Solgee?"

　Encouraged by Dusker, Ray turns to Gimekara.
　At the signal, Gimekara stands tensely in front of the pair of oves.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Dusker," My name is Gimekara, and I am from the Zorgay Chamber."

　a gimmekara bowing in front of a pair of oaves
　There's a strong sense of tension there.
　You don't have to be so nervous because you don't have to be in person, just because you've usually met many different people, but because you're not in person, you're in pairs.
　But now reflected in the pair of oves in front of Gimekara is Dusker, one of the three major factions in the kingdom of Mireana, a neutral figure.
　Depending on the negotiations with this person, the Solgay business itself will collapse.
　Also, a lot of money and effort prepared to create this place is wasted.
　When I think about it, I couldn't be too focused on negotiations where even minor mistakes weren't tolerated.

'I'm listening. You're with Jaya, aren't you?'

　a slightly provocative tone of dasker
　What kind of reaction does Gimekara, who is a negotiating partner, show to words that come out of his mouth... it was a question to observe.
　If it had gone wild here, it would never have been considered a negotiating partner.
　But... whether Gimekara knew it or knew it instinctively, he spoke calmly.

"It may have looked so from the side, but the Sorge Chamber has only fulfilled its duty as a chamber." As long as they want the product and have enough money, we have no choice but to comply."
"Well? I ask you, if you come to Gilm, will you accept the offer of a deal?"If you fail to say something here, the negotiations will be terminated immediately.
　Thinking this way, he manages to open his mouth, feeling something cold on his back.

"In the country of Lavrellina, we could do such a thing. However, I don't think we can do such a rash imitation in a completely unknown place or in an unknown world."

　It was like saying that if you were going to read deeply, you wouldn't touch the underworld until you moved to Gilm and empowered them, and at the same time declaring that you would do business with criminal organizations if you empowered them.
　Dusker doesn't immediately respond to Gimekara's words, but instead looks back.
　a powerful gaze that makes you think you have physical pressure even though you're not directly in front of you.
　Gimekara has been through many hardships, but even though she didn't meet him in person, she almost retreated from the pressure.
　Of course, the scene that Gimekara has experienced up until now is not a scene of death or life in a direct sense.
　However, if the negotiations fail, it would be a much tougher battle than a direct battle in terms of whether dozens or hundreds of people working for the Zorgay trade could survive.
　In that sense, it's safe to say that they've survived a more severe situation than those who risk their lives.
　Even with that kind of gimmick, we can't negotiate with Dusker as usual.
　The staring Dasker doesn't say anything particularly, but it still seems that the temperature around him is dropping or rising... that kind of irrational experience.
　Silenced for a few minutes... suddenly the pressure released from the other side of the pair of oves disappears.

'I see. I see what you think. but if I accept you here, you won't do anything to investigate or dispose of anything?'

　Dusker's confident words mean that he believes in his men.
　In fact, Gilm's guards and knights are very capable.
　Since it is the only frontier in the kingdom of Milliana, there are many benefits there.
　Materials that grow only in the frontier, materials of monsters that only exist in the frontier, meat, and magical stones.
　Also, high-ranking adventurers who flock to the frontier must be big if you think of them as human assets.
　As long as it is such a place, it is natural for criminal organizations to gather for profit, and there are organizations in large and small backgrounds, including slums.
　The guards and knighthoods who cracked down on them, and sometimes fought... were, of course, highly skilled.
　The answer would be no if the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce came to Gilm and asked if it could act the same way as before, even though it had a large power in a small country like the Levrellina.
　Indeed, it was certain that if they tried to do so, they would be preyed on by existing organizations.
　Even if you say how much Gimekara will do after strengthening her strength, it won't be so easy if you are asked how well she can act against the organizations that have survived in Guillum.

"And if you're connected to a criminal organization by guillem, that means you'll get dirt on my face, which I've allowed you to enter guillem. If that happens... do you know what will happen?"

　It was easy to imagine what would happen if he really did so by looking at the smiley Dusker.k.a. smile.
　That's what makes the lord ashamed, and he's the worst adventurer... and that's why he's like Ray.

'If you don't mind, do as you please. ... of course, if you don't like it, you have the option of not coming to Gilm.''

　Although he was told so, he had already prepared various supplies, including horse and carriage.
　Not going to Gilm on top of that would be a big loss to the Solgay trade.
　Most importantly, given the damage to the Sorge trade if you stay in Levreina, there is no option to say no here.
　Then, I think there are not many places that are as attractive as Gillum, but elsewhere.
　Furthermore, the fact that the building is being extended is the greatest attraction for the Solgean Company.
　As a result... Gimekara nodded after fully understanding what Dusker said.
