Sticky glances or ...... why the hell not?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rickbert's quiet voice makes me shiver a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was a little shaken because I felt no emotion in his voice, which was oddly frightening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The other three looked away from Rickveldt, a little awkwardly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

An indescribable atmosphere pervades the place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aaaaah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Suddenly, Mr. Rickveldt let out a loud voice and scratched his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Surprised by the unexpectedness, a small voice bursts out of my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry, Ivy. I startled you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No. ...... are you okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had been feeling a little uncomfortable since yesterday.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't know what it was, but I was sure it was Meera and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My brother Marma was there yesterday with Meera.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Marma is my childhood friend. He saved my life. I wonder where ...... went wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The answer to that question is not here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a question no one can answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I felt my heart squeak when Mr. Rickveldt laughed a little with a tearful expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Rick, you can get off this one if you want.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'No, I want to get him myself. Besides, I'm still inclined to believe in ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Borolda lightly taps Mr. Rickveldt on the shoulder a few times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Both Ms. Rattler and Mr. Seyserk seem to be in a bit of pain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are really important friends.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meera, Marma, and Torto, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Hmmm, we must continue our conversation. I should tell Ivy everything. You have questions, don't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There certainly is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What happened yesterday, what did I see?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I calm down and face Borolda.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you remember the story I told you a while ago about the crackdown that went wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I am. It meant that information had been leaked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. That information was known only to a limited number of people. That means there are traitors among those who knew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The captain of the neighborhood watch, the second-in-command, and Guilmouth have independently investigated those who knew about the information. But they were unable to find any evidence. But they assured me there was a traitor, and that was the day before we went to take him down."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We were the only four people who were told about it. I had a chance to have a drink with Guilmouth for a bit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Both Ms. Borolda and Mr. Seiseluk continue to talk nonchalantly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It must have been painful for those who had to investigate their friends.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And so were they who were told about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, I see, the four of them stayed with me because they knew about this story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yesterday, after the meeting of the defeat squad, I went to greet Guilmouth, and there he made me a certain request. That is, they found evidence that a certain merchant was dealing in a special kind of merchandise. Since the evidence is still weak, he wants me to gather some information for him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The merchant is dealing with people, and the ...... well, what the heck. I hate to tell Ivy this, but ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Borolda suddenly began to slumber.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ms. Seyserk also had a huge wrinkle between her eyebrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it really that difficult to say?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is predictable that merchants deal with people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A slave trader who snatches people and sells them, perhaps a backroom slaver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What could be more difficult to say than this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And to me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I mean, ...... tell me if I'm offended?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The tension increases as Borolda says things very seriously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The products he is dealing with are people, but they are children," she said. Especially boys. You see, ...... some adults have a particular proclivity, or ...... wrong affection, for children, and he is the merchant for them.... ...you okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So you're being targeted by that merchant. ...... s*xual desire for children?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you okay, Ivy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Worried that I had become lost in thought, Mr. Rattler approached me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He might have thought that I was feeling bad because I had kept quiet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "I'm fine. Um, ...... I'm fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I'm not okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My head is spinning and I don't feel well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would like to ...... to ...... on such a subject.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's settle down for a minute and think about something different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get a good deal on the subject. Why would you target them when you are with such people?　It's risky, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... money. And probably the confidence you've developed so far."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Money and confidence?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Children targeted by such targets are sold for quite a high price. Especially thanks to stricter state crackdowns and heavier punishments, the price has jumped."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Borolda sighs loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is good that the crackdown has been tightened, but the price has gone up and it has become a lucrative business.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's kind of a bummer, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess they think that since they haven't discovered anything about the organization yet, they won't be disturbed by the higher adventurers. As long as we continue to do our jobs as we have been doing them, there should be no problem."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Disgust laced Mr. Seyserk's voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even this time, if the traitor had not been identified, information about the merchant would have been passed on to Green Wind. If that had happened, the merchant would have been immediately erased, and the organization would have been nowhere near him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. The guild's information is passed on to the higher adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's how trustworthy they are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is Green Wind a high-level adventurer, too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, but the same information has been passed on to me in the course of my past exploits. I had the support of the nobility."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Seyserk's words raise a question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How could a nobleman talk to him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did you know each other or something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is this aristocrat close to Green Wind?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I've never heard of such a thing. And if I were to tell you because I was close to you, that would be a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not close.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If that's the case, are you sharing information with us in case there are not enough high level adventurers?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... are there so few high level adventurers in this town?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?" No, there are seven groups including us, so it's not small. ...... Don't tell me, Ivy, that you suspect the nobility?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Seyserk looks surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So do Mr. Borolda and Mr. Rickbert.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why is that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If a substantial amount of money is going to be moved, I would suspect someone who has the money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The most important is the aristocracy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And it is also aristocrats who supported Green Wind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe there's a reason, but I doubt it. ...... Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why did I think of this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry." Just ...... for a minute."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'No, it's all right. He's the aristocrat we just talked about, and he's fine, he's trustworthy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know about that. Can I really trust you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Arrrgh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Lattrua and Ms. Borolda stare at each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's going on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Suddenly, Borolda's mood changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps Borolda is grateful to that man. But can he really be trusted in his current state?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course it is."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can you say the same thing in light of what happened to Meera?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is! ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Calm down, both of you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Rickbert taps the two excited men on the shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They seemed to be getting a little louder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Isn't this talk being heard all around us?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look around, but no adventurers seem to be paying attention to us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Why?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?"　Did you just notice that?　I use soundproofing items. A magic item dropped from a demon. Isn't it amazing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Rattler points to the soundproofing item on his desk with a bit of bravado.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hadn't noticed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, a drop item from a demon or ...... this area is a game. ...... hmm?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it now, oh my previous knowledge?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Borolda's voice reaches my ears and I switch consciousness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has an indescribable expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He wants to believe me, but seems unsure if he really should.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He probably doesn't know who is his friend and who is his enemy because Mr. Meera was a traitor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How did I know that Mr. Meera was a traitor?
