"Why are you here? Duke of Aginis."

"Let me give you back those words exactly as they were. His Royal Highness Prince Brio"

That's how we asked each other. My lord Brio and I couldn't fix our surprise at the unhappy patrol, and we would have a grin.

"Shouldn't the Duke of Aginis be encouraging you to study at Epis School?

"I hear His Highness Brio is studying abroad, but what are you doing out of town like this at a time when the merchants are finally moving?

"... what did the Duke of Aginis do with all these mercenaries at such times?

"... His Royal Highness Prince Wang is too defenseless to be walked around another country with only this many companions. If you've taken on a guardian in this country, do you know Your Highness's morning walk?

"... do the Magisters know the stroll of the Duke of Aginis?

".................. yeah, well"

I try to delude them with a white grin about the questions thrown at me, but I and His Highness Brio are unable to point out their suspicious attitude because there is something nasty about them, and eventually the conversation broke off.

………………

Me and His Highness Brio look at each other without words as the mercenaries and each other's men spurn and watch. It must be each other who doesn't care about this situation.

Nevertheless, I didn't know it would be a breakthrough to reunite with this person in this place......

The Scion and the others had informed me that His Highness Brio had been sent to study abroad at Handel. I don't recognize the young man behind His Highness, but the Marquis son of the example was sent with him to study abroad, so I think he probably is. Not so far.

He was the opponent he used to keep an eye on at his request, so the mercenaries realized that the line that approached was His Highness Brio's, and also understood that he must have paved the way while confused.

But why did they want to speak out to a group of suspicious mercenaries outside of town early this morning?

His Royal Highness Prince Wang is more restrictive and less liberal than the people of the world think. That is all the more so with such circumstances as His Highness Brio. I didn't pay attention to their trends because I would never see them first, but I didn't imagine this would happen.

You will be more than aware that His Highness Brio himself should avoid any trouble than he was sent out of the country for a scandal......

With that in mind, staring at each other for decades with His Royal Highness Prince Wang, who only takes his own people as if to avoid Handel's eyes.

- Ha.

While we gave each other an indescribable look on our overlapping sighs, we each broke down as if to show that we had diluted our guard.

"Let's not. Now, as you can see, we're taking it in, so it's a waste of time."

"Right. I'm looking for people, too, not free."

If you offer a truce, His Highness Brio will speak of one end of the purpose.

It's delightful or subtle, but we seemed to think the same of each other.

I'm busy right now......

If you care about a lot of things but are not willing to be hostile, let's not pursue them deeply. More important than that is what His Highness Brio and the others know.

"I can't tell you how, but I'm also searching for the missing former King Pinez and the president of the Hendra Chamber of Commerce."

"I was just looking for Lord Pinez, too. We've been close since we got here. So when did the president of the Hendra Chamber of Commerce disappear?

"I'm off the news after the meeting I had with the Schultz Chamber of Commerce yesterday. I was talking about an employee at the Shultz Chamber of Commerce yesterday morning, but last night was the last time my insides confirmed his appearance. But it's likely that some of the killers are good at handling hallucinations, so the exact time is unknown. Perhaps it was only yesterday evening, when the chairman left the Hendra Chamber of Commerce, that the location was confirmed."

If I told him that during the exchange of information that began implicitly, I could hear breathtaking sounds not only from His Highness Brio, but from various places.

That should be it, too. I told His Highness that I was suspicious of the Schultz Chamber of Commerce. If His Royal Highness Brio had shouldered his chamber of commerce or was an innocent white merchant not involved in the kidnapping, it might not be a good idea, but he has no regrets.

Richter may well complain...

We'll just keep going around the back like this, and then we won't make it.

We can no longer afford to be choosing only measures that are not dangerous, and to break the current situation as quickly as possible, we must step in prepared to throw something aside, like Lord Sumba.

- Then I'll bet on this tour.

Me and His Highness Brio, given the circumstances in which they are placed, are unlikely to meet each other. That's too much to laugh at when it comes to fate pranks, such as looking for the same person by chance and making faces meet in places like this. His Highness Brio knows information that we do not know, and as a result of his actions based on it, he is more convinced to believe that we have met like this at this time.

"... I do not think that the Duke of Aginis and the Rogue do not know the meaning of the word, but it is fitting that we are prepared to turn the old Chamber of Commerce as much as the Shultz Chamber of Commerce against the enemy in this land. Do you have proof?

"There's no proof, but what's close to certainty"

If you respond that way to the inquiry thrown with a rugged eye, His Highness Brio puts his hand on his jaw to devise something.

It's like you're wondering if you should mouth the information you have. Again, I guess this guy knows something.

- May that information overshadow the situation.

If you wait for a response, convinced that your intuition was right in the figure of His Highness, who is circling your thoughts, His Highness Brio reaches up and softly reaches out.

"I took it from Lord Pines."

"Ha."

If one of the immediate responders takes a piece of cloth that looks tall from his nostrils, in a flowing motion, he receives it in a silver basin put out of subspace by the Marquis Son, who was refraining behind His Highness's step, and unwraps it. And where the vial was dewy from the cloth, the Marquis's son knelt down, offering with humility what His Highness Brio had desired.

Approximately five seconds until His Highness receives the vial. It is a brilliant collaborative play.

And more than anything else, what impressed me was respect for my husband, who glimpses from the refined movements of the escort and the Marquis Son. I can see a deep trust in my husband from the way I follow His Highness Brio's actions, which set my mind, without getting lost.

... This guy seems to have changed a lot.

I think of the efforts that His Highness Brio, back from the Magister, has put on top of the sight I can see visibly that he is admired. At the same time, when I was re-conscious that I could no longer take such an attitude as I did at the engagement ceremony, His Highness Brio walked up to me with the vial he had just received.

"It focuses on mercenaries and lower levels of the population, and the contents are drugs that exalt the newly developed mood. Lord Pinez was following this with a substitute that would be designated as an immediate drug ban if inexpensive but highly dependent and widespread. And when we got to the black market, it went missing."

The seven centimetres or so vial handed over is a rough, pure crude with a familiar orange color. If Lord Pinez doesn't hear from us after he's been after this, he's involved in a dozen and eighty-nine Zenos.

As I observe the vial as I deepen my certainty, the magic that I couldn't fit in a cheap container twitches in my palm. If this much magic remained despite the fact that it was a crude container, it would have originally been a fairly powerful magic drug.

That's all I meant, you mean...

Bite the depth of the thoughts that Maris and the others are hanging on this plan before a real drug ban unlike the fraudulent mayhem fake recovered in the Majesta.

The fact is that Fortrace is wrapped around the land of dragons and the kingdoms of beasts, and then inside Handel and Elves and many nations, so it must have been planned for quite some time.

It is regrettable that I let go of the Zenos that make it. If I had gotten to Zenos one more day early, a white finger stretched from behind me grabbed the medicine bottle from my hand as I observed the vial thinking, etc.

"Ries?"

I call the name of the person who pulled out the medicine bottle, but she was wearing the vial with a harsh face, and she asks Her Highness Brio without responding to me.

"Mind if I look inside?

"- Oh. If you don't take it in your body, it's no problem."

If His Highness Brio answered while blinking his eyes to the elf who had suddenly joined the conversation, Ries did not hesitate to open the lid of the vial and put the contents slightly into his own hands and face.

"Ries!"

As His Highness Brio breathes, I rush to grab her wrist and stop her from acting. No matter how many elves, it is catastrophic if you accidentally smoke a drug ban and cause an anomaly because it is an elf. It will also take time to contain it, and I want you to act more cautiously because no one can do anything like treat an elf.

If the Leo seniors had seen the sight now, there would definitely have been anger flying......

Reclaim the medicine bottle and wipe the palms that came out of it, recalling the seniors who thought they would call for unwanted speculation even though they had not been hired for a long time. Then I opened my mouth to scold Ries for his reckless behavior, but the words that were in my head were fogged without speaking out in anger burning deep green eyes.

"Sacred trees are used for this medicine"

A beat from what Ries said, tension ran between us who understood the contents, and breathless voices rose from everywhere. I didn't know what to say to Ries because I felt so painfully respectful and polite from her attitude that I couldn't say that Elf cared enough about Holy Tree.

"Definitely"

How about in her chest she squeaks like that looking down at the medicine that she spreads on her palms?

His Royal Highness Brio opens his mouth seeping confusion as there drifts an irresistible air in Ries, who floats the sorrow and lack of water that his body may be involved in the anger with which the holy tree is used for such medicines and the factors that have come to be.

"…… May I ask what Holy Tree is?

"Fine," replied Ries, looking up to His Highness Brio, who politely asked him if he felt the air on the field.

"The holy tree protects and mercies the inside, it is indelible to us elves. The trunk full of magic becomes the necessity of a junction that protects the inside, and the purifying action that dwells in it brings peace to the inside. The branches and leaves that are given from time to time are processed according to the rituals and procedures to be followed and used for festivals when celebrating medicines and milestones that heal wounds and diseases. It's a beautiful white tree with a refreshing sweet fragrance that soothes your mood."

To that explanation, His Highness Brio exchanges glances for a moment with the Marquis Sons and the escorts.

- What?

Even if he doubts the meaningful act, Ries doesn't notice their actions like that. Exhaled to let her anger escape, she spun her words again in anticipation of Her Highness Brio and the others.

"I am in action with Doyle in order to judge the undead, who have cut down and taken away the holy trees in awe of much. If you know anything about the medicine you had, I'd like you to let me know that Holy Tree is definitely being used."

I conceive of His Highness Brio, bewildered by Ries, who said so and bowed his head, with a sneaky and exasperated gaze.

... What is Your Highness afraid of, Brio?

Rather than worrying about teaching, such a question occurs to His Highness Brio, who looks like he can speak. What the hell does he know?

I don't know His Highness Brio's circumstances or the information he has. No matter how much I think about it, there's no way I'm going to get that answer. But there is no guarantee that His Highness Brio will speak honestly when he points out the suspicious behavior he blamed. Until they tell me it was a mistake.

One or eight...

I open my mouth, praying that it will have the effect of paying for His Highness's strays.

"I'm not sure if he's a buyer or a seller, but I suspect his chamber of commerce because I got information that the Shultz Chamber of Commerce is involved in buying and selling holy wood. If you have any idea of a" white and beautiful tree with a refreshing sweet fragrance that soothes your mood if you stop by, "

If I told them that while quoting Ries' words they reacted, His Highness sighed out loud, wondering if he stared at me as surprised.

"That's right, I don't know... enemies"

With a regrettably delightfully complicated grin, His Highness rolled those words in his mouth, then groaned and murmured whether he was rebelling his memories or "so" or "then no problem......" And when he squeezed his expression, he looked straight at me and said unexpected information.

"I don't know where the seller is, but if the Dukes are looking for the 'white and beautiful tree with a refreshing sweet fragrance that soothes the mood,' the Agricult priests bought it up and brought it back to the Grand Temple"
