1909 1909th episode



Suu Kyi opens her mouth when she asks for Ray's information.

"And what kind of information do you want? There's not much information I know. I don't mean to be an informant."
"Well, I don't expect that either."

 Suu Kyi looks displeased when she says she doesn't expect anything.
 For Suu Kyi, it's OK to say it yourself, but it's not funny to be told that you don't expect others to do it.
 But even in Ray's eyes, Suu Kyi was an amateur in combat, and nevertheless, she seemed to be an informant in such a reckless manner as to defeat the Cobold.
 Still, Ray called out to Suu Kyi because she thought she might have some information that was only available there, given that Suu Kyi was from a slum.
 Suu Kyi, who lives in a slum where Ray rarely goes, might have some information.
 The reason why she was so comfortable with getting information from Suu Kyi was that she could just leave the body of the cobold intact.

"Then I don't think you have to bother asking me..."

 Still, Suu Kyi says grumpily, if she thinks it's delicious to get two dead Cobolts who can strip off the talc -- one with a spear pierced through her chest, originally three.

"And what information do you want? If you don't know exactly what it is, you can't say anything."
"Well... first of all, there's a lot of covolts coming out like this. Do you know why? Specifically, they're using some kind of magic item."

 Naturally, that was the first thing I heard.
 That's only natural because Ray works on the assumption that he has a magic item to manipulate the Kobolt.
 ...I didn't wonder if there was such a magic item myself, but once I had decided, I wanted to keep that in mind.
 But... unsurprisingly, Suu Kyi shakes her head at Ray's question.

"You never know that. Or if you know there's such a magic item, I'll sell it to someone."

 Having been short of money, Suu Kyi's attitude could have been taken for granted.
 Magic items…even if it's just a cobolt, it's only natural for someone in a certain position to want magic items that can be collected or attacked endlessly.
 Such magic items can be used in many ways.
 The first possibility that could be conceived would be to have the territory of an opposing aristocrat carry out the attack of Cobold.
 It's only natural that we want it, because we can damage the territory of the opposing nobility, no matter what we do.
 There are many other uses.
 ...so rare a magic item, Suu Kyi is expected to be dangerous if she tries to sell it badly.

"I thought so. I just thought there was some information in the slums... it was just gossip."
"Rumor? Um...."

 I wonder if it's okay if it's just a gossip, not a detailed information.
 Fortunately, many people in the slums are now dismantling the cobold.
 Since many people work together at that time, many people naturally talk at that time, and gossip is often talked about.
 Suu Kyi, of course, initially took part in such work in order to earn the support of her children.
 I try to remember if I've heard anything from you at that time, but I can't think of anything right away.
 Well, there are a lot of rumors about it, but I don't know if I can say it or not.

"When it comes to rumors of magic items, there are a lot of lies and truths mixed in..."

 If this were an ordinary village or town, there wouldn't have been so many rumors.
 But this is Gilm. It's a remote town, and you can catch and harvest a lot of rare materials for magic items.
 That being the case, there were a lot of rumors about magic items... it was only natural that they were mixed with stones.

"Then, for the time being, is there any rumor about... some kind of monster-collecting magic item?"

 She ends up there, but Suu Kyi shakes her head at Ray's question.

"I've never heard of that,"
"Then... what about those people who have such skills?"

 As for Ray, I wish this incident would be a magic item.
 But here, too, he decided that he needed to look into his skills, given that he didn't have a clue about magic items.
 ...if magic items fail, I really wanted them to be rare or superior species.
 If it is not a magic item, it is possible to acquire magic stones by defeating such rare or superior species, and to acquire skills through magic.

"Well, how can you manipulate a covolt? If it's a whole bunch of monsters... maybe it's really possible, but it's just a covolt? And if you can manipulate that, wouldn't it be a skill to manipulate another monster?"

 It was an undeniable fact.
 Oaks, for example.
 The ingredients and magic stones sell at reasonable prices, and the meat itself is quite delicious.
 If he had the skill to manipulate the oak, he wouldn't have to worry about meat for the rest of his life and could sell it for money.
 Or, there are many monsters that are more useful than Kobolt, not just oak.

"Ah... well, then. You know, the people who were called red cloths were rampant before winter or just after winter?"
"Of course I know. They used to poke their nose into the slums for a while."
"...for a while? Then you stopped bothering me right away?"

 What Suu Kyi says is surprising to Ray.
 In the first place, the red cloths were very poor quality people, which had caused quite a bit of trouble.
 For such people, it's not a street-like place full of adventurers and guards, but a slum where they can move freely, and why didn't they get in touch so quickly?
 It's nothing but a very strange thing for Ray.
 But Suu Kyi goes on saying, "It's only natural."

"There are strong adventurers and guards on the street, and if you find them doing something wrong, they'll be caught and punished, but that's according to the law, right? But of course there's no law or anything like that in the slums."

 Saying so, Suu Kyi goes on with a look on her face that she may have remembered the incident.

"The red-clad guys have also interfered with some organizations in the underworld. As a result, the idiot has been killed pretty badly as a warning."
"Oh... I see. I understand without saying anything more."

 In other words, they realized that they were too much for themselves to deal with.
 As a result, we conclude that we have stopped interfering with the slums.
 In fact, there are many cases in which even if it is meant to be a minor joke, they cannot accept it that way.
 I guess that's exactly what red cloth did.
 I didn't get that heavy a punishment when I was caught on the street, so I thought I'd poke my nose into the slums... and as a result it was a warning.

"Well, if they really run into those who are next door to death... wouldn't they ever do it again? Well, I'm surprised that they've had such an experience, and they've continued to act on the street?"

 Ray pauses and ponders if there was anything wrong with his words.

(If the red cloths were so feckless, would they be able to do the same thing on the street in a situation where their comrades were killed? No, there were so many red cloths, so it wouldn't be surprising if some of them could do it. Then... couldn't you stop them? Why? Someone ordered them?)

 But now that this happens, there is a reason why you are giving such an order.

"What's the matter with you? If you have nothing more to ask, can I get the body of Cobold for information?"
"Oh... I see. Do it. I have nothing particular to do with it."I can't think of anything. Feeling frustrated, Ray replies to Suu Kyi.
 Suu Kyi seems to have wanted to say something subtle about Ray's appearance, but since she got permission to take care of the body of Coboldt, she gives priority to it.
 When asked which comes first: one's curiosity or one's children's food, it's definitely the latter.
 From the sheath of my waist, I also take out a slightly rusty knife, cut off the chest of the covold, and take out the magic stone.
 This magical stone is the best selling material in the monster, and Suu Kyi came here to get it.
 Therefore, there is no option to miss it.

"Yes,"

 Ray was a little impressed... with a little jealousy and envy, that he was more familiar with the movement of taking the magical stone out of the cobold than with a bad adventurer.
 However, there will be a large number of people in today's slums who can do the same as Suu Kyi.
 It was only natural for them to get used to it, as they continue to dismantle hundreds of covolts almost every day.
 ...as the skills gained by continuing to disassemble only the Cobolts in large numbers, basically the Cobolts were the only ones that could disassemble so smoothly.

"...what?"

 Suu Kyi asks suspiciously if she notices Ray's gaze at her.
 Having heard a good deal about Ray, I never expected him to act like robbing the body of the cobold he had given away, but it was not interesting to watch him dismantling.
 I wasn't particularly frightened when I saw Sett looking around nearby because he knew the rumor about Ray.
 It's probably a big thing to say that when I left the slum on business, I saw a lot of people... ...who loved Set several times, whether they were adventurers, merchants, inhabitants of Gillum or men or women of all ages...

"No, I thought he was very good at dismantling."
"Of course. You think I've dismantled how many covolts this winter. Close your eyes... but I'm quite accustomed to dismantling them."

 The dismantling continued as he spoke to Ray, as if the words were never false.
 I've checked with him several times, but I can't see anything dangerous about his behavior.

"I've dismantled quite a few monsters, but I can't get used to them."

 Ray's dismantling technology is much better than it was when he first came to the world. Although it's up... Ray is still far from good at dismantling monsters.
 I could do it on average, but that was all I could do.
 In Ray's eyes, Suu Kyi's demolition technology comes to mind like that much.

"I recommend it, so why don't you join me in dismantling the Giant Turtle?"
"...what?"

 What are you talking about all of a blue?
 Suu Kyi looked at Ray like that, but if he was a man of great dismantling technology and had trouble with money, he would think it would be best to dismantle the Giant Turtle... to explain the situation.
