024. Story of Clelia 2

When I went to a room where I always had meals, Jonas was talking to an employee.

"What is Alan?"

"If Mr. Tarus has a chance, I'd like to talk in a snap. Leah and Elna are also present."

"I see. I'll listen to my husband's convenience."

Jonas returned with Talth immediately.

"Let's talk in that business room," said Tars.

The business meeting room was a small room in this house where about ten people could sit. Employees bring tea immediately.

"Are you sure you want Jonas to be present?"

Check with Clelia visually.

"does not matter"

Clelia replied. I think Jonas can be trusted.

"I'm sorry, but I've used pseudonyms so far. I apologize for that. My name is Clelia Starvine."

Immediately, the faces of Tarus and Jonas became astonishing. Clelia is a celebrity who is known by merchants from other countries. Or maybe it's Tars-san, so you might know.

"Hello, this is Your Highness. I'm sorry for your apology. It's natural for His Highness."

Mr. Tarus is in a panic.

"You don't need to call me, Mr. Tarus, your Highness. You are not a Starvak man and I am no longer in that position."

"... I see. Clelia. And what is the story?"

"If you have any information about Starvek, I'd like to ask."

"I see, that's what I mean ... I'm away from the city and there are parts I don't know yet, so let Jonas explain it."

"Cleria, where can I start?"

"I think there was a fight in Ludovik, but if you know, I'd like to ask around there."

"First of all, please be aware that what I know is likely to contain merchant rumors and so is not reliable information."

Here, Jonas takes out something like a notepad from her inner pocket to check the contents.

"First in the battle in Ludovik, it is said that the defensive Ludovik frontier had 6,000 troops, while the southern and western aristocracy had 40,000 troops. However, the Noble Allies forced the frontiers into the castle in a number, and the battle turned into a castle battle. The county's castle was suppressed, and one who spoke to the villagers who saw the battle from a distance said that the frontier had seemed to be making some time. "

"Perhaps my uncle was trying to get some time to escape. Do you know what happened to the frontier?"

"The frontier has died in a battle when the castle was conquered. There is no doubt that the remains have been confirmed later."

"… As I thought"

"There are rumors like this. Multiple testimonies that the Frontiers had seen a number of suspected Frontier Soldiers leave the territory secretly before moving to Kagojo. there is"

"I don't think my uncle's army will escape. Probably he missed him before a hopeless battle."

"When the frontier fell, the northern and eastern nobility surrendered one after another. Thirty-five days ago, all the nobles surrendered.

And yesterday, the latest information came in. Twenty days ago, it was declared that the Marquis of Agostini in the south would be king and build a new kingdom. The country has also been renamed Alois Kingdom. ''

"... I know Agostini, Lautrigen, I only know once. The Kingdom of Alois ... You've just restored the country name.

Thank you Tars and Jonas for sharing valuable information. I can't do anything now, but I'd like to return this one day. ''

"That's ridiculous! Clelia, you don't need to be grateful for this information. Let's focus more on it in the future," said Tars.

"... I can't afford Tarus to do that."

"No, I always collect information anyway. It's a merchant's rule. I just put a little effort into it.

My father was a Starweg merchant. I fell in love with my mother at first sight and settled in this city. So, I'm half-Starveek.

My father died four years ago, but I grew up after being bombarded with the thoughts of Nostalgia and how good or good Starväck was. So, if you are in trouble with your princess in the country your father loved, helping it is very natural for me. ''

"Talth ... Thank you.

But there is something I need to tell Tarus.

This king of Berta, Amado, is my man. I came here to ask Amado for help. ''

Afterwards, Clelia told Tarus what happened to Erna and his friends.

"In other words, the king of this country, Amado, was on the side of the rebels, albeit the kingdom of Alois. Helping me is against the will of the king of this country."

Edge "I see ... It's like a king to take advantage of blood.

However, there was no official notification from the nation to capture Clelia, and there was no problem. And I don't think there will be any notice in the future. Anyway, if you send a notice to capture your man, you will seriously damage the king's prestige.

So Claire, you don't have to worry about it. ''

"... I understand. Thank you again."

"Now I know I'll meet my fellow merchants and get some information," said Tars.

"Thank you."

Clelia, Erna and I decided to go back and talk.

"I got the information, but I didn't have any information that would immediately lead to any action."

"Yes, but it is great that bright people can help this country, such as Tarus, thanks to Alan's recommendation."

"I'm not doing anything. Thanks to Mr. Tarus. What will Clelia do next?"

"I don't know ... what should I do? Ideally, I want to regain my country.

What would happen if a rebellious reign regained his nation?

For the people of the kingdom, there must be no difference whether Starvine reigns over the country or Lautrigen. ''

"That's not the case! The Starvine royal family was adored by the people! It was also adored by the nobles of most nobles!

Something is wrong with this rebellion. I don't know what is wrong, but only what is wrong.

I am a guard knight with Clelia. I'll keep up with Clelia forever. ''

"Thank you, Elna. But the royal family and the ruined country are gone. Shouldn't it be better to return home?"

"St. Vine's royal family still has Clelia! And I have sworn to Goddess Luminous to save Claire's life."

"Oh, Erna! What a hell!"

Hmm? I couldn't keep up with the current conversation. Is there anything wrong with swearing to God?

But this is religious. It is better to stop asking now. If I say I don't know the goddess Luminous, I don't know how they will react.

"... I see, I understand well. Erna's feelings are purely happy. I won't say I can go home anymore, let's live together!"

"Yes! Clelia-sama"

I don't know what it is, but it seems to be organized.

"Alan! I was in a hurry and could do it!"

"What, what?"

"There may be others who are still looking for me. I have to let them know where I am and those who can return home."

"That's true. I'm sorry if I kept searching."

"But how do you do it? Erna, did the two groups you met in the Kingdom of Cecilio say anything about their future actions?"

"No, I could only search a little more, but told me that my team was going to Berta."

"Can we go wrong if we move?"

"They are dressed as adventurers, just like Erna? Then you might go to the adventurer's guild.

"Alan! That's a good idea! Let's go!"

"But it may stop in the pursuit of the pursuers. I haven't seen it in this country yet, but when I was in the Kingdom of Cecilio, I saw a group of suspicious adventurers who might be pursuers."

"I see, pursuers are adventurers. Surely you can't send troops to another country. Real adventurers or just dressed as adventurers. Both are possible."

"Erna, is there any kind of code that only Konoe can understand?"

"That might be good .... For example, Claria's room at the Royal Palace was sometimes called" C thirteenth "by Konoe."

"What does that mean?"

"It means the twelfth room from the left on the third floor of Building C."

"I see ... if it were a message from the thirty-two inhabitants of C, you would not think that it was a message from Clelia except Konoe."

"Wonderful! But what should I say?"

"Isn't it okay if three or twelve residents of C are waiting in Gotania?"

"Then let's go."

We didn't do anything special, so we decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild and ask for help. I just asked for the reception staff just before.

"Ah, I'd like to ask, are you ready for reception?"

"Oh! Alan-san, he'll be receiving your request! Thank you," said the receptionist.

"No, I don't want to receive a request, but rather a guild."

"Oh, that's it. I understand. What kind of request is it?"

"Can the guild ask me to post a message in another adventurer's guild? I want to contact an adventurer I know who is not sure where I am."

"Yes, if you give me the name and message of the adventurer I want to contact, I can keep the message and give it if the adventurer appears at the reception."

"That's why I don't know the name of the adventurer."

"I don't know if you know someone?"

"A little in translation ..."

"I can't accept that."

"Can't we post in the guild?"

"No, you can only post in the guild.

"So, if the message is in the form of a request, can it be posted?"

"Well, then ... but it depends."

"I see. I'll come back thinking about the content. Oh, can the client be anonymous?"

"It's possible."

Three people go to the wall of the usual request.

"It's good to have something overhanging here."

There were various requests posted there. There are a wide variety of escort and pest control requests and materials.

"The content is appropriate.

"I want Wyvern's magic stone. Quantity: one. Deliver to the Gotania Adventurer's Guild. Reward: One large silver coin. Due date: Six months from today. Client: C's Twelve Residents "

What about that? "

"Wyvern's magic stone is not a single silver coin, at least ten gold coins."

"Um ... Leah, I think I'll get at least 20 gold coins."

Do it! Then, if you see Wyvern, you have to hunt by all means. Leather and meat are likely to sell.

"Then, I'll reward you five gold coins, because it would be a problem if an unrelated adventurer just got it."

I will tell the reception to that effect.

"Well, the reward for Wyvern's magic stone is five gold coins! And bring it in?"

"Is it bad?"

"Hmm, this is considered a ridiculous deal and may not be accepted. There must be at least ten gold coins."

"I see. I'd like ten gold coins."

"Which guild should I send a request to?"

"Um, all the guilds in the kingdoms of Cecilio and Berta, near Starweg."

"Is that so ?! Well, in total ... there are 21 places?"

"Please"

"Is there a fee for remote requests?"

"How much?"

"Thousands of Guineas per place"

Well, don't worry. Change magic stones to cheaper? But it would be meaningless if we could easily fulfill the request. Well, there's money and I'll ask.

"I understand, please."

"Huh ?? Is that OK?" Elna is also surprised.

"And the same amount as the deposit as a deposit, which will be refunded if the request is not fulfilled. If the request is fulfilled, ask the guild to pay a separate fee of 20% of the reward as a commission Are you sure? "

Is there a deposit? I can't help it.

"understood"

"Then, we will take 121,000 Guineas as a commission fee."

It was good to bring all the money. However, the amount of money captured from bandits has now been reduced to 70,000 Guineas.

"When is the request posted?"

"It will be posted tomorrow."

"Uh? For all guilds?"

"That's right"

"How do you get in touch?"

"I can't say in detail, but the adventurer's guild has an artifact that contacts the remote guild."

Oh! Artifact is a legendary magic tool that I heard from Clelia one day!

"Can I see that artifact?"

"Of course, you can't. The place is also a secret."

"Yes, I'm sorry.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Alan has a request for appointment. It is from that large store's Taruso. The details of the request are here. If you want to receive a request, please visit Taruso.

Speaking of which, there was such a story. Jonas works fast. The reception staff handed you a piece of paper with your request and read it immediately. Clelia was also looking into the side. The reward is five large silver coins. Maybe it's too much for a day job.

"I understand. I'll visit you."

We left the guild.

"Alan seems to have spent a lot of money. Sorry."

"Good, Beck and Thor say they won't accept it, so this money is for me and Clelia.

"Okay, thank you Alan."

"Now let's go buy Alan's clothes. Yes, I need Elna. I want one more."

There is only one piece of everyday wear, so we definitely need clothes.

"Okay, go buy?"

However, I don't know where they sell it. Just ask in front of the armor shop in Zark.

Upon entering the store, Zark was trying to carry my armor.

"Zark, I'm sorry often. Don't you know of a good store selling clothes around here?"

"I recommend clothes or a Soriuchi family store. There is a cod clothing store where you turn left at the corner and go a little."

They seem to be dealing with clothes. How many stores in all?

"I understand, thank you"

The store was found immediately. This is also a small but clean shop. When I got inside, there were two female clerks.

"Welcome. What are you looking for?"

"I choose Alan's clothes"

Clelia declared and chose a lot. I don't know the sense of this star.

"Yes, I'll ask. I want two or so."

"I see. Leave it to me."

Then, for almost an hour, Clelia picked my clothes. To be honest, mentally already.

Then Clelia and Elna picked their clothes. After all, I guess the store was close to two and a half hours.

I bought two of my clothes, one of Celia's clothes, two of Erna's clothes, and other small items, and the total was nearly 2,000 Guineas. Clothes are pretty expensive.

Well, Clelia and Elna were having fun, so let's do it.

We returned to Tarus's residence with his luggage.
