In the meantime, we need more information before we can make any moves.
　Curtis has turned back when he got information that the Kuro Wolf Knights have blocked the city, so he hasn't gotten any more information and hasn't talked about whether or not he can leave the city.

　Well, that's a wise decision.
　He could have been caught as it was.

　And Curtis, whose face is likely to be known, shouldn't move any further.
　Likewise, the guards--

"What?　Speaking of which, where are the guards?
Oh, he would have asked me to continue to gather information for him. He'll be fine.
"Really?　Well, it's okay if Curtis says so, but it's a big help to us.

　If Curtis is unable to move, the only way to gather information is for Allen and his team to do so.

　But this is a strange place for Allen and his team, as well as hostile territory.
　It's possible that their faces are less known than Curtis's, but that's not a given, and Allen and his team are at risk as well.
　If Curtis would gather some information for you, there was no reason to refuse.

By the way, is there any place to gather information or anything like that?
Well, ...... would be the best bet if you could hit on someone I know, but those people are most likely to be spotted by the Kuro Wolf Knights and should be avoided.
"Do you know people who know ...... even know that stuff?
Should I say known, or should I say examined?　A week's worth of time would allow for that much, and they have the communication mages to know that information.
"Oh, ......, come to think of it,

　That's why I expected them to ask for help elsewhere and cast a net in this city.

　Moreover, although they are sinners and are assigned to a group of knights who deserve to die, their missions are often important.
　This is why they are able to use their communication tools frequently, which even Leeds was not able to use often.

　It's a tricky thing.

But then, where do you think we should get the information?　Basically, you're saying that we should avoid places that Curtis would stop by, right?　And yet, when it comes to places where information can be gathered: ......
"Like the ...... adventurer's guild?
Oh, ...... will certainly gather information, and it's not surprising that we, as strangers, would go there, right?　It would be normal to try to gather information in this situation.
"An adventurer's guild, I see: ...... It's certainly in this city, and it's outside my sphere of action, but it's ......
"Stalling?　Is there something wrong with that?
"Because of the circumstances. I honestly wouldn't recommend it, because I think they'd be uptight.
"Hmm ...... well sure, you have a point?

　Basically, adventurers have a temper tantrum.
　Trapped in a city, it's understandable that going to a place where rogues gather is dangerous.

　But..." "Not much time has passed.

"Not much time has passed, and I think it's still all right. Maybe we should be more concerned about how much information we've gathered since it hasn't been very long.

　It is a place where people and information can come together, but only with a healthy flow and a certain amount of time.
　As it is not long since the announcement, we should think that not much information has been gathered.

　But still, it's better than not going.
　At the very least, Allen and the others need as much information as possible.

　As long as there's no other place to get information than the guild, you should just go there.

...... is certainly not the time to be extravagant. But if that's the case, I think we should at least hold off on the two of you.

　Then Curtis turned his attention to Noel and Milene.
　And without needing further explanation, the two men looked complicated because they had an idea why.

　The same is true for Allen, but at the same time, questions arise and he nods his head.

It's because they're an elf and an amazones, right?　It's true that as I walked around town yesterday, I thought it would be unusual if I didn't see either of them ...... that much?

　Considering the history of the Empire, it should not be unusual to see other species mixed in with them.
　Curtis wasn't surprised to see them and didn't feel any separation, and in fact, considering the fact that other species could be seen here and there, it shouldn't be intolerant of other species.

"No, under normal circumstances, it would not have been a problem. But now the situation is the situation, and I felt that the fact that the Kuro Wolf Knights have the city on lockdown and they are looking for something was relatively easy information to obtain. No, rather, I felt that they dared to do so, and that they were encouraging the people of the city to do so: ......
"In that situation, you don't know what would happen if two people were walking around town, albeit only somewhat unusual. ......
And if you don't remember it, or at least you have a lot of it. Well, it's certainly something to keep quiet about.
"...... leave it at home.

　The two men's faces were marked as reluctant, but they will have to put up with it.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do if you're asked to do so.

　You will be able to find out whether you are going to be able to take them around or leave them here.
　If you ask me which is more risky, I can't honestly say for sure, but--

...... Well, I guess we'll just have to trust that this one will be okay.
...... Sure, they say, just because you're at an inn doesn't mean you're safe.
If you get raided at the inn, it's over. But then, if you'd just play it safe, you'd be able to ...... No, that's not the kind of person you'd want to deal with.
"...... run away then?
Well, ...... I think it's still better. The logic doesn't apply to them. If it did, she wouldn't have been caught in the first place.

　The sight of Curtis telling him that, Allen suddenly felt something go through his head.

　It was only natural.
　But now that I think about it again, I have my doubts.

"Come to think of it, it's so obvious that I didn't even check, but are you sure that Curtis is not complicit in the assassination of the emperor by Henriette?
"Huh?　Ah, yes. But of course. There's no way that sister Henriette would help the devil.


"...... I see.
"I'm sure I've never checked, so I'll ask you the other way around, but of course you think so too, don't you, Mr. Allen?
"Well, ...... Henriette wouldn't do that.

　It's an absolute.
　Even if she had encountered such a situation that could not be helped without assassinating the emperor, Henriette would certainly continue to seek another way.

　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.

Now that we've confirmed that we can trust each other, let's talk some more about the future. I'm sure there's more I can do, even if I can't gather the information.
Well, even if you want to help Henriette, you can't help her if you can't get out of town for now.

　Whatever it was, that was the first thing.
　To accomplish what needed to be done, Allen would continue to talk to Curtis.
