Episode 117: Collecting Information 2

"Fist. Long time no see."

When I went to [Gemstone Flowers], Camilla said that when I looked at each other. I thought we'd just met yesterday, but I realize it's about real time. A few days have passed within the GAO.

"How's everybody doing?

"Conversations are healing to a point where there is no problem"

"Well, that's more than anything. So, has anything changed?

Ask him if he had any problems while he was away.

"The rough stuff hasn't happened so far. No one breaks in illegally. I just had some interesting visitors."

For the sake of being funny, Camilla showed the opposite of the expression.

"I was a drug dealer. I'm here to sell potions for STDs."

"Nothing strange in itself..."

No, is that crazy? In the first place, STD potions are not handled in regular dispensaries. At least at the pharmaceutical guild merchant from Einfast to Dorad, it wasn't outside because of Mr. Cornell I wholesaled.

So if there's a peddler selling STD potions in this neighborhood, there's not even going to be rumors.

"Have you ever had a merchant like that come?

"This is the first time. What a convenient time."

"Was that really a potion? Like it was poison disguised as potion."

"I wonder. Here I am. I haven't even seen the real thing because it's unnecessary. In time, I was surprised when I answered."

That's right. No one would ever think that the lord of a whorehouse was an amazing pharmacist.

"Besides. He came straight to this hall and left without stopping in the neighborhood. There are many whorehouses in the neighborhood."

"I was looking for you here from the beginning, so... it's possible that you were looking at it."

If Camilla asks for a potion here, I can confirm that the poison is working. And if there's a fact that I bought potions, I can reinforce the rumors about [gemstone flowers]. Even if I didn't buy it, I saw that the drug dealer was in and out of the whorehouse, how can I use it?

"So, where is he?

"Normally I went into a lodging in Lower Town. This is what it looks like."

When Camilla cast the spell, a man was projected in the hollow, a man about thirty years old, without any noticeable traits. It carries a wooden box. I guess I put medicine in it.

"Nice chasing you. Before that, how did you know he was here?

"via the eyes of the user demon"

"Demon of use...... oh can you share your vision"

It is a common setting in fantasy for magicians to have demons and share their senses. I guess he was watching outside the hall.

"Your partner just didn't respond when the man came"

Does that mean he's different from the guy who broke in here? Is that the guy you hired just to see how things went?

"In the meantime, do you want to hit this guy? Is this guy still staying in that inn?

"He should be there. I haven't seen him leave the inn since."

"You're not out of the inn itself?

I guess I'm not more of a resident of this city than I am staying in an inn. He would have come all the way to Dorad, but he hasn't stepped out of the inn? Unnatural, isn't it?

"At least it's definitely not out of the entrance and exit of the table"

I have some concerns, but won't it start if I don't see him? If you were just hired without knowing anything, you'd be wasting your legs, but if you're involved, get a guero. However, since Swain is no longer here, it is not an anxiety element that I do not know if I can spot a lie.

"By the way, how'd it go with you?

"Yeah, the bums and the intel went in, but the guys who attacked Elka had no direct connection to this thing"

"Right. You've broken our lead."

Camilla clouds her expression. It was more than we had any information to strike out of here.

When I had the man summoned at the inn I visited, I heard the girl scream.

This shop is a common form of building that combines an inn with a tavern, and the inn starts upstairs. Running up the stairs looking for the Lord of Screams, there was a clerk girl with a buttcake in front of a room door. Close, a man is falling when he looks inside through an open door. He's the same man Camilla showed me in her phantom magic.

Enter the room and observe the man. As far as I can tell, there's no trauma to the man. There is no blood on the floor. There is a slight odor and the skin is discolored, so it seems to be going through time. No, you didn't ask when this guy came to visit [Jewelry Flowers].

There's nothing rough in the room. I still have a leather backpack that looks like a man's luggage. but I didn't have the backpack I had when I came to [Jewelry Flowers].

There's nothing you can do if you don't know the cause of death, but there won't be any theft. It's unnatural that there's a backpack left, and it's odd that there's just no backpack. No, when this guy walks into the inn, you want to see what happened to the backpack first?

"Lady, didn't you have a backpack when this man came to this inn?

"Oh, uh... yes, I was carrying it"

"Anyone come to pick it up?

"When I was down there, I didn't come down... until when I wasn't there..."

"Thank you. Can you get me a guard?

When asked, the girl ran downstairs to escape.

"You recovered it at the same time as the end, huh?

Was the door to the room locked? If you have a window facing the street, leave it open. Could it have broken in from here?

If you stroke the edge with your hand, it conveys a slightly rough feeling. Grains of sand and pebbles, right? This shouldn't happen unless someone puts the groundfoot on it. Though it cannot be determined that it belongs to the intruder.

"Would you have taken Quinn?"

She would be able to tell by the smell. It is also possible that the smell of the guy who broke into [Jewelry Flowers] remains. Can you tell me I'm sniffing around? No, not now. They're probably telling the 'enemy' that the poison isn't working. Let's bring him in later. You'll be fine during the day.

"Mr. Fist."

Unexpectedly, I heard a man from behind. Turning around, only his hand with folded paper was peeking from the low entrance to the room. When did this guy get so close...?

"Who?

"From a swing of a silver sword, do you understand?

That's what I said, I put paper on the floor and my hand pulled in. A wave of the silver sword...... oh I mean, the informer Wena was in contact with.

When you pick up the paper on the floor and look in the hallway at the same time, the man is nowhere to be seen. I didn't hear one of the footsteps, and if I walked normally, I'd still have room until I disappeared into the corner of the hallway.

"Well, that's okay"

Open the paper and check the contents. The additional information I asked for was noted there. However, the location of the mysterious pharmacist still seemed to be.

"But I don't know what to do with this information."

It's what they arranged, but in the end, this isn't the information I wanted, either, and it's a lead on the kidnapping.

"Will it be submitted to the government constitution later? It's time to meet up."

I have a meeting coming up. There's nothing I can do here, and you can walk away. The first person to find the body is the girl in the inn.

Just in case, I decided to tell the inn where I was going to go before heading there.

The place changed and the Hunting Guild Direct Dining Room. Three Rasputins sit at the same table.

Let's get started.

This is a meeting for the sharing of information each of us has received since the last time. Perhaps it would be a good idea to exchange e-mails, but I was asked to gather because it would be better to meet in person and talk to them to confirm the details.

"First of all, it's about Gorotsuki, who tried to capture the [jeweled flower] whore, but you weren't after the [jeweled flower] itself, although you were involved in the kidnapping of the whores. Then, while I was logging out, they said there was a merchant who came to sell STD potions to [Gemstone Flowers]. As for the merchant, I made sure he was dead before he got here. It is unclear whether he is ill or killed. That's about it."

Release the information I'm getting, circle my gaze, and prompt the Rasputins.

"Well, how about from that information that John got?"

Rasputin, when I said that, John nodded. Hi. Looks like they're sharing some information over there.

"First of all, I hit the street hooker. In fact, a woman's body was fried in the harbor yesterday in the GAO. That was one of the missing street whores."

"How did you know the woman was a missing street whore?

"The body was badly damaged, but the tattoo remains. I went around wondering if I knew any street whores or whores with that characteristic, and it was applicable. When I asked for a test, it was bingo. That's why. Looks like he was pretty thinner than just before he went missing. This one since it disappeared, I guess it wasn't a lot of situations. I took a picture of Suksho for once, so I'll show it to you later if you want to confirm it. That's pretty gross."

"I had [Dismantling] during the Einfast defense, so maybe I'll be fine"

I've seen a lot of animal guts, a lot of people's bodies. We'll figure it out.

"So, I asked Richard and I about this information first. That's where the question arose. Where are the lost street hookers now? Quite a few are gone, and then we'll need a place to keep them hidden. Then where is it? Maybe it's an island somewhere."

I mean, Rasputin's prediction is that the kidnappers are up in the ocean? No, you talked about pirates coming out. But if you were to attack a village along the coast, would you go into a city with a fence and do something to grab a woman? Neither of the Gorotsuki I captured looked that way.

"I was dumped in the sea either dying or being killed. Or he escaped and drowned as he was. I thought it might look like that in the circumstances. I could tell when I saw Sukshaw, but there was a scratch that looked like it was stung by a scythe or something."

So you're saying it's quite possible that he was drifting offshore? It's just a sea of rock shelf clubs. It is not necessarily that there are no organisms on the coastal side that resemble bamboo.

"So, the street whore we found sounds like the guy from when the disappearance started. Then I asked him if the unidentified woman's body had been found recently, but that didn't apply. For now, that's it for me. How about Richard next?

Nodding to John, now Richard starts talking.

"I stretched my legs a bit to a nearby village. Check to see if there are any women missing in the same way. At least there were no similar incidents in the fishing villages along the coast."

What do you mean, it's just happening in the draught after all? I don't hear about travelers going missing. No, but there was a case of Camilla being attacked. Is it possible that you just haven't discovered it?

"So, I also tried to hit some street hookers, but there's an interesting story out there about the one who went missing. He said he'd be in the store soon."

"The solicitation of street whores, you mean? Is that what happened?

I have the impression that street whores are people who can't belong to the store and don't want to. I wonder how good the terms were.

"It's not like there's an example of that either. However, there was actually such a story and it suddenly disappeared without even saying goodbye to my fellow street whores. He was close to the street whores who told me about it, and he wasn't the one who disappeared without saying anything."

"Didn't he say he saw that street whore just before he disappeared?

"I found a familiar customer who bought it at the end. He said he'd see his employer later. He said it wasn't clear what store it was."

"What the hell? You have a voice, but you're saying it's undecided which store you're going to work at?

"It seems that we have not yet decided which city we are going to go to. In short, I guess it means recruiting people to open a new store."

Hmm. If the reason you disappeared means you were involved in a kidnapping, you're no different than the street whores you've been. However, if you went missing by solicitation, the story changes.

But this is totally an investigation into a serial disappearance of a hooker. I know I can't get out of this right now, but more like this... it's [Jeweled Flowers] related that I want to put my back in.

So, the three of us came around the store.

That's where Rasputin puts the paper on the table. The name of the store and the number next to it... what is this?

"Required Expenses"

"Hmm..."

I admitted the expense and told him to charge it. I told you, what is this amount? Fried money? All in the luxury whorehouse class!?

"Wait, calm down! I'll tell you why. Turn off [Magic Fire]!

I was unconsciously activating [Magic Fire]. Rasputins pull themselves back with a pale face. I felt the gaze of the surrounding guests gathered, but I ignored you.

"If it's not a convincing explanation, it's a grilled iron claw sentence."

"Ya, bake...? Okay, I'll talk to you... but first, let's see if the whorehouse scouts are real. If it's a whorehouse that's going to have enough capital to open a new store in another city, isn't it?

I understand that the people who already run the whorehouse will increase their size. It seems more likely than not that a proprietor in a completely different field would start running a whorehouse from 1. It would be possible to enter from other cities, though.

"And then I just wanted to know what other upscale whorehouses think of [jewellery flowers]. It would not be the first time that a general level store would be in contact with a high-end whorehouse or obstruct sales. If a colleague is going to put a little bit of pressure on it, it's the same level of store, right?

That too, well, I know. Camilla said she didn't even know what other upscale stores thought of her store.

"So, what's the outcome?

Close your eyes and encourage ahead. That's the problem.

"There are no facts of solicitation in any store. It's just that when I asked you about [Jeweled Flowers], the owner of the store called [Black Rose Paradise] said something like," How long can you bloom? "When I asked him what he meant, he said that he would try to outrun the store someday because he was making it better. So, this is what I said then. There's something wrong with [Jewelry Flowers] lately."

"Weird, what?

"If it's true, the store hasn't reopened even though the holiday period has passed. Besides, there was a pharmacist on the way in and out."

That said, Rasputin shrugs his shoulders.

"I heard rumors about the pharmacy in the tavern today."

"Me too. There seems to be a drug sale going in and out of [Jewelry Flowers]."

John and Richard nodded as well. Well, why don't we just finalize it?

I have a lot to say, but if the information comes in as a result, okay? I don't know if Camilla will convince me.

"So, who's the proprietor of that [Black Rose Paradise]?

Unlock [Magic Strike] and ask.

"I wonder if his name was... Amand Teleman"

"Teleman?"

Rasputin's name sounded familiar. Retrieve the paper stored in storage. It contains additional information collected via Wena.

"There's a merchant who runs a whorehouse who has better wings before and after the kidnapping. His name is Teleman."

Will it connect here? I thought you were totally different.

But questions also remain. If the kidnapping of a whore is the work of Teleman, why aren't you trying to grab the whore of [Gemstone Flowers]? If you're going to sell off the women, the more clever they are, the more expensive they will be. Or was it another thought?

Anyway, I got the information. Just what do we do from here on out? Break in without question and smash Teleman, there's no way. I don't have that authority in the first place. Because within GAO, they're just Gentiles.

"Can we just give the information and leave it to the guards?"

You'll need to consolidate the evidence, and if you're going to arrest me, you'll need manpower. If Teleman is the real killer, I'd love to punch him once... but can he let me join him at the time of arrest?

"I heard Lord Fist is here!

That's when he heard me calling from the entrance to the store. It was Mr. Dorad's guard who was there. Is it about the inn?

Raising his hand and appealing to his location, the guard rushed over here to correct his posture and thanked him, whispering the matter in his ear.
