After installing Eliante's cooperation in the Alliance, we were looking around the Adventurer Alliance in the guise of sightseeing. I thought I'd start by looking close.
We stand out too much in the aristocratic neighborhood, which is our destiny. I'm going to sneak around at night. Darkness doesn't matter to us at night.
"Stone statues, bronze statues. Flag on the painting. Sculpture on relief. There are many possibilities. '
"Mmm."
"If Ursi smells anything to do with Garth, tell me, too, okay? The smell was on yesterday's sheath. Remember that?
"On!"
All you have to do is look on your feet.
But even if I kept walking in the morning, I couldn't find what I was looking for. In the first place, in this vast capital of kings, it's more impossible to find a scorpion lion and a scorpion lion who don't even know what form that sentence is in.
"Oh, this is gonna take a while."
(Why don't you ask someone who knows?
"Ask Eliante, you didn't get it"
(What about Calc?
Calc. You did know someone besides Eliante. No, I know him, or I just met him once. They think you're like the face of a chimp, and you'll be familiar behind the king's capital.
But you don't trust me. That's all the guy who was freaking out about Fran, and he'd promise to cooperate if he asked. But on the face of it, tell me you're going to cooperate, and you're not going to have to spill our information somewhere.
I don't know what route Garth auctioned the sheath on, but in some cases it's possible the Ashtoner Marquis knows we won the sheath.
If that's all, it's still suspicious. But what if Fran, who won the sheath, finds out he's looking for something? The cryptic message of a mansion with a war maiden stared at by a scorpion lion would also be pinned if it were the owner of that mansion. I'm sure you'll be able to find Garth.
It would be a pain in the ass if that happened. The Marquis will be a clear enemy.
However, it is also certain that Calc's information network is attractive. So I decided to show you the whole story.
"Well, just make as strong a split as you can in split creation and make contact."
Disguise yourself as the wind with a suspicious man sniffing around without going through Fran. Create my split in a common outfit.
"Okay. Like this."
So-so in ability. It's not far from Fran, but I can use Kensei, and I have an average status of about 200. He would have the strength of a mid-level adventurer or so. With Ursi's nose, it was easy to find Calc.
Ursi hides in the shadow of the split, and Fran obliterates the signs and follows the split. I was able to talk to Fran while moving my split with split thinking.
(On)
"Over here."
Follow Ursi's instructions and continue in the back alley. Then we reached a liquor store. It's a suspicious end-of-place pub that may be in business, with a worn out appearance. If there was no sign of people, I would have thought it was ruin.
Push open the swing door, which makes a hinged noise with just a few hands on it, and step into the tavern. My gaze was at me all at once. The men who were tubing around inside the tavern throw an indiscreet glance at them as if they were worthy.
And that look quickly turned into something to mock. I'm from my life now. He's a middle-bodied man in plain bored clothes with an indelible face. He doesn't look like he's trained, and he doesn't seem to have special skills such as witchcraft. I have enough conditions to insult you.
Well, only the person you're looking for has a sharp gaze on me. Approaching Calc's sitting table as he slips through the men trying to get me to put my foot on and fall.
"Hey, are you Mr. Calc?
"Shit. More than that, you're running errands on me..."
Calc flashes his face. But I'm not trying to escape.
"Don't let that get you in the way. Let me know if someone can help you."
"... which one? What did you do to imitate it?"
There's no one there, but they're taking it upon themselves to think of things.
"Hey, don't"
That's not what Calc said to me. It was put under Calc's command who was behind it. He thought it was a mess, and he was trying to get rid of me. If you're Calc's weak eye, you know you can't beat me to this level of escort. I guess that made him stop.
I'm surprised the escort figured out the meaning of the word, too. Anyway, the man in front of me was judged stronger than me. However, they were well educated as a subordinate and did not divulge dissatisfaction. I guess that's also why Calc's eyes are so trustworthy.
"Use the back room. Come on."
"No, I don't mind here. - Silence."
You're a magician.
Calc's face becomes even more bitter. Guess it's because of my growing ignorance. The escorts are surprised to see Calc's voice suddenly disappear, but when Calc held back again with his gesture, he was sitting back in his chair as it was.
"Now our voices can't be heard around us."
"What can I do for you?
He seems to listen to me very carefully. Good.
"I have a place to look. It is a mansion with a war maiden stared at by a scorpion lion. You see?"
"Cryptography or something? That's all I want to see if anyone can tell."
"Right. So look for me. In secret."
"Dude..."
"This is an advance. If you find me, I'm gonna get three times more."
"Ho."
I put 50,000 gold in front of Calc. The color of Calc's eyes has changed to the large amount of money that was left untouched.
"What's the deadline?
"I'll be back here tomorrow night"
"Well, that's tough."
"So that's the amount."
"... don't expect anything"
"I hope so. Bye."
"Become..."
When I smiled niggardly at Calc, I dared to erase the split in front of him. You must have seen me disappear, like smoke scattered. If this makes you think you're somewhat of a creepy opponent, the request could also be seriously ripe.
'All right, that concludes my request to Calc. Hopefully, we'll have the information tomorrow night'
"Mmm."
"Nevertheless, we shall continue our search on our own."
"I know."
"On!"
