After finishing the exhibition of insect specimens requested by Lupa's, I spent the past week doing research in the library until the specimens were dry.

"Yes, soldier."

In a thought from Rye, I lifted my eyes from the report I had been reading. Two people dressed as Royal Army soldiers are asking library officials something. And one of the young officials seemed to have something to say, and he ran out onto the bookshelf and pulled out some books, and went back to an elderly officer who looked like his boss. The elderly employee tipped his neck while handing the book to the soldier, but eventually he turned to me and told the soldier something. Is that a problem?

The elderly official came to me with two soldiers and cut out like trouble.

"I'm sorry. You think the Royal Army needs the book you're reading right now as soon as possible, and we have an order to give it to you. I'm sorry, but could you give me the book?"

Hmm. Let's explore a little bit.

"Isn't this book...... wrong about the book? This is an excavation report for a site near here, isn't it?

Yes, what I was reading was an excavation report about Shard's ruins. The creation of a dungeon in that place has sparked interest in the ruins themselves, and the treasure that was stolen seems to help draw the kingdom's attention to the vicinity of Morrow - and, if possible, the location away from the labyrinth.

"No, no wonder this one fits in with the book"

"Well, if that's what you mean, I can't help it..."

Here, two soldiers of the day pinched their mouths.

"I'm sorry. Our general just said something strange."

"I'm so sorry. I'll send it back to my superior officer as soon as I can."

The two of them bowed their heads. You seem to think you're really bad enough to bow your head to a common man. Then can you answer me with a few more sickles?

"No, you can't help it if you work. But is it also a plan for the army to rediscover there?

If that's the case, it's a hassle. They'll suspect you won't leave the dungeonization undone early.... No, I dare you to let me discover the dungeons and draw your attention to them...

"Come on, what's on your mind up there is on the bottom end like you..."

"But at least I think the army dug it up. That's not what the army does."

"Then do you think there could be a rediscovery itself?

"Well. However, if you're going to ask for a redevelopment somewhere, there's no reason why we should go away like this in the first place."

Is this the time of the tide?

"No, thanks. I asked you extra things out of curiosity and let you take the trouble. Please take it."

When I gave him the report, he received it as a relief. Well, just one last thing......

"But there was also a soldier in this town, wasn't there? I didn't remember seeing you.

"No, we are from the First Battalion of the King's Capital."

Hmm, the 1st Battalion of the Royal Army. Was it awkward to be seen barefaced?
