Kuro no Senki (LN)

About a little more than last year, Kane stroked his jaw as he stared at the husband carrying a wheat bag into the grain bin... many of Chrono's men, but some were hired on a temporary basis...

Jolli Joli and Astless Mustache irritate the thumb.

During the mercenary years I cared for myself there, but since I started working in Marquis Elakis territory, I have stopped paying attention to my beard.

It's also a problem that my boss is too understanding.

He grew a beard when he met Chrono, so maybe that's just what they think he is.

Even so, do you carry out your thoughts, normal? and Kane rests his hands.

Cavalry is a golden soldier.

Maintaining a horse or gearing up costs money.

Now Kane laughs bitterly.

Chrono is like welcoming the Bandits as cavalry.

I can't help but argue normally with someone like that.

"What are you serious about?"

Mouthless accountant...... Elena told me to whine.

"... to you former bandits"

I thought they were selling the fight, but Kane grins thinly and strokes his jaw.

I know how Elena feels.

Your family is being killed by bandits or mercenaries disguised as bandits.

Appreciation for humans of a background like Kane would be hard.

I'm prepared to take that spoiled.

No, I'm aware that I deserve to be scolded.

At a young age, Kane, who lost her family, was picked up by a mercenary regiment, but life there was a pain.

Mercenary work was severed from living, but I was really unfamiliar with bandit work, and I gathered people in similar circumstances to myself to become independent.

He went to the group of free city states and spent time as a legitimate mercenary after belonging to the mercenary guild.

A legitimate mercenary… as unlikely a combination as an honest con man.

At least in the Kepheus Empire.

The status of mercenaries in the Empire is low.

A criminal who doesn't hate killing or pillaging for money is an assessment of mercenaries.

However, mercenaries are considered full-time in the group of free city states.

High demand is also one of the factors driving up mercenary status, but the biggest reason is the thorough management of mercenary guilds.

The role of the mercenary guild is to mediate the work.

Of course, it's not free.

He works with mercenaries and mercenary regiments affiliated with the Alliance to get brokerage fees.

I'm not going to say dirty.

If the mercenary guild is attached to the buck, I can take on the job of a big merchant I can't even meet on my own.

If you like it there, you can nominate it next time, and if you do your job without difficulty, it will be evaluated accordingly by the Alliance.

Conversely, if you fail to do your job properly, you will be drying your job, and sometimes if you break the rules of the mercenary guild, you will be solemnized.

"I praise you."

"Well, you're still from the countryside. If it's serious, isn't it affecting the area?

Grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather... maybe his clan should be peasants for generations.

Even Kane would have put his energy into field work if nothing had happened.

You're not dissatisfied with your life right now, Kane strokes his jaw.

I'm not dissatisfied, but I sometimes dream that nothing would have to happen then.

"With that said, what about Master Chrono?

"If he is, he has just returned from Count Cad territory."

"What have you been doing?

"That's not what I know."

Elena said in a grumpy manner.

It's a good place to hit eight.

"... you're worried there's Elaine Sinner"

"You know that woman?

"I don't want to tell you that I know you unilaterally."

Mercenaries drink or buy whores if they have money.

Drunk and talking about what kind of whorehouse daughter is cute or good... that sort of thing.

In that context, the whorehouse run by Elaine was considered special.

"... the more serious he is, the better."

"Don't worry about that."

The question quickly dissolved as to why such a thing….

"Ahhh, evil."

"It's more annoying to have that attitude?

Kane scratched her head, saying that this guy was also Master Chrono's mistress.

"Is that a harbor inspection?

"No, I thought it might be a rare vegetable."

When he heard the voice he remembered and turned around, he raised his hand gently as Chrono greeted him.

"Did you go to Count Cad's territory for that?

"I think it's important."

As Elena was turning her voice upside down, Krono told her to make excuses.

"So, you found something?

"Mm-hmm. You didn't have potatoes and corn. And pumpkins. And yet rice and soba are certain wonders."

Potatoes, corn, pumpkins... vegetables I've never heard of.

"Corn looks American, but potatoes and pumpkins weren't native to Europe?

"America or Europe?

That's another name I don't even hear.

"Because potatoes had an image of Russia and pumpkins of Europe"

Kane could only put his arms together and tilt his neck.

"Do you understand?

"I don't even cover knowledge of the other world."

Right, Kane nodded.

Previously it was done with paranoia, but the bicycles and books that Crono brought back from the southern border were convincing enough to prove the existence of different worlds.

"What's a potato?

"It's a round vegetable you can do under the ground. It's cold resistant, it can be grown in rough land, and it's delicious to eat with butter."

It's like root vegetables, Kane imagines something like that from his knowledge.

"What about pumpkins?

"It's about this size, it's black green on the outside, but it feels dark yellow inside"

Chrono showed his size with a trick that would hold something.

"I don't know - should I go and show you some rare vegetables?

"You're asking Mr. Elaine, too, but you don't really want to make a debt,"

Chrono dropped his shoulder without force.

Potatoes and pumpkins, and then corn? and Kane walks through the city of Hashel, chanting the name of the vegetables in his heart.

It's potatoes that make up the bulk of interest.

It is interesting to note that it grows even cold and can be harvested in rough land.

If Chrono's story is true... apart from securing the workforce, we should be able to dramatically increase cultivated land.

I guess that's why Chrono is also trying to get potatoes even if he owes Elaine to make them.

"No way, we don't have a monopoly, right? I don't know what I can do."

Knowledge of different worlds...... fragments That's fascinating.

If you just touched it for a second, you might have misplaced hopes.

However, when I talk to Chrono a little bit, the plating (plating) peels off as soon as possible.

Chrono's knowledge is full of holes.

I have no idea how much time and money it will take to complement and practical knowledge full of holes.

I can't help thinking about it, Kane steps right in.

I complain of pain at the smell of cheap makeup in the back of my nose.

With a thin laugh, Kane walks the pleasure streets.

She waves gently at the whore who uses her eyes and gives her service when she becomes a customer. She rubs off the whore.

"... you've got more people"

Potty and squeaky.

The city of Hashel is busy.

It's not just the big merchants, it's the pedestrians, even the civilians who only have crude wagons who can make money if they do it well.

If my nostalgia warms up, I want delicious rice and booze.

I'm also willing to buy a whore because I made so much money.

Buying a whore in a strange city is courageous... something that has some recklessness, but Hashel's whorehouse is licensed and the whore is regularly examined.

When a prostitute is infected (depressed) with an illness even if she is undergoing regular check-ups, she is infected (depressed), but psychological resistance is much reduced.

If you want to buy a whore who's not sick, go to the Marquis of Elakis, and one of the reasons Hachelle's happy neighborhood is so busy is whispering to you.

Kane stops in front of a whorehouse and looks up upstairs.

Make sure the woman is standing at the window and enter the whorehouse.

"This is, this is Master Kane"

"I'm going up on my own."

Hand over a few pieces of silver coins and go upstairs.

Sometimes the time was quick, or there was nothing different than rubbing other customers.

You're not used to it, Kane scratched her neck.

Women play to such an extent that they don't fall apart, but they are unfamiliar with the air that runs the moment they rub off with other guests or meet their eyes.

Kane laughs bitterly, saying that the roots are the farmer's little cunt.

"Open it?

"You've already opened the door."

When she entered the room without even knocking, the woman said… Violet narrowed her thin eyes even more.

Violet... it's just Violet.

Age is around thirty.

Good style for the whore hired by this ranked whorehouse.

That's quite a face.

I've always narrowed my eyes, so I may have poor vision, but I've never asked.

If you know what's going on with them, you'll have feelings.

Violet might use it.

If you can't afford it, you can throw it away, but unfortunately Kane can afford to be nostalgic now.

Cavalry quarters are rent-free.

Meals and drinks are free.

Equipment is also supplied of high quality.

Kane, who doesn't have a hobby, is saving money.

It's always a killer room, Kane looks over the room.

There's one bed, two chairs and one table in the room.

Kane put a piece of silver coin on the table and lowered his hips to the chair.

"I'm paying you for something that's not cheap, so you should play"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Violet was blind to the silver coin she had placed on the table, and when she sat on the chair, she poked her cheek wand.

"Are you still collecting information today?

"Well, yeah"

Violet smiles funny and tells the information she sees and hears in the whorehouse... many are unsupported rumors...

Kane doesn't expect that much information from a single piece of silver coin, but it's important to know what rumors are circulating.

Finally, I can know a man named Violet by what rumors he tells me.

Violet is not a whore.

The rumours Violet tells us are wide open, leaving ambiguities that are likely to be out of reach.

It also stimulates Kane's vigilance not to show interest in silver coins placed on the table.

"... and could it be like this?

"Oh, enough"

As Kane tried to get up, Violet got up faster than that.

Violet walks over gently and lowers her back to Kane's thick crotch.

"Aren't you going to play?

"I'm here to do my job."

Honestly, I want to play.

"Wouldn't that be part of the job?

"You shrivel, on the contrary."

Phew, and Violet exhaled, leaving Kane.

"You're serious."

"That's all that matters."

"Ironic, ironic"

You bet, Kane scratched his neck.

Sit in the counter.

The store is slightly small, and the interior is so thin and dirty that it doesn't feel uncomfortable when it comes to the end of the place.

Upstairs is the Inn...... It is the type of Inn where you can choose to rest and stay, and I still can't wipe the impression that it is a dining room and lodging room at the end of the day.

Kane chooses such a store because it can calm down and eat, and the owners and customers will be moderately indifferent.

Kane is highly regarded.

He is captain of the cavalry and audits the tax collectors during the harvest season, even acting as lord in the absence of Krono, which is why he is considered a right-hand position of Krono by the people.

So I can't calm down and eat in other stores.

The shopkeeper cares more than he needs, and the waitress drops by.

I met a familiar merchant, but at the end of the day, I was extensively talked to by the citation I was present, and I was about to be screwed up to a bribe.

If he was young, he might have floated and made stupid money, but now Kane is wearing the right distinction for his age.

Most of all, the extent to which they rob slaves, which are loads, from clients they don't care about.

At first, I put up with it because it also collects information, but after getting to know Violet, it became less frequent.

Kane picks up the barley wine (beer) he's been transported to, although the aim isn't "me," I guess it's Krono-like.

Chrono is a young man with age-appropriate immaturity.

I wouldn't feel bad about being told by a woman, and I can't deny the possibility that the merchants of Haiqian Mountain Thousand will make me feel good about it.

I... we need to stick together, Kane puts bread on.

Protect the chrono and make up for the immaturity.

I owe you for saving my life.

It is also certain that there was an attachment to the territory of Chrono.

But more than that, Kane felt Chrono like his brother.

I may be just a quid pro quo for not being able to protect my sister, but I feel like I have to protect this guy anyway.

"Ugh, Captain Kane!

"Aren't you going to eat in your quarters today?

The twin elves...... Deneb and Aridead sat left and right and slapped Kane on the back.

"Hey, you can do it."

"Let's have a drink with Captain Kane."

"Pour, pour, pour, pour"

Feeling her earlier determination shrivel, Kane sees what looks like a liquor handed to her.

When included in the mouth, the acidity and sweetness spread across the mouth.

"Oh, is that an apple?

"So hehe, mixing fruit juice with alcohol"

"It's like our epidemic."

We're both drunk on Gundan.

"You don't just burn."

"This is better than wine (wine) or barley (beer)"

"It's like I can get drunk fast!

Uhihihihi, and Deneb and Aridead laughed as they slammed onto the counter.

"The conversion to weapons has not come at all."

A container containing alcohol is thrown and the flame spreads when the container breaks due to the impact of the landing.

I hear your deputy Minotaur is aiming for such a weapon, but the result is one thing now because the container doesn't break or the fire doesn't light.

Drinking up apple liquor, Deneb and Aridead try to pour alcohol and apple juice.

"Oh, come on, that's about it."

"Eh, corners, sweat, runny nose, I made it."

"Happiness, like hemming"

I appreciate the sentiment, but Kane's not that strong on booze.

"I'm still working tomorrow."

"" We're off!

I know, and Kane restarts his meal sideways with two people drinking at a high pace.

By the time I finished eating bread, soup and muscle-ridden meat, Deneb and Aridead had stuck to the counter and stopped moving.

I need you to take care of these guys.

"Well, it's rotten."

Elf shopkeepers laughed bitterly across the counter.

The store owner's appearance age is about twenty years old.

The word Yu Man fits perfectly, but tells the story that the ancient wounds left on his arms and chest have not led to a life as peaceful as it seems.

In fact, the shopkeeper... no, not just the shopkeeper, but the supplying woman, Elf, is also a former Imperial soldier.

In other words, he is a colleague of Deneb and Aridead.

He was so badly wounded that his sequelae remained in the battle when the Holy Argo Kingdom invaded Marquis Erakis territory.

If you are a nobleman, you will be admired as an injury to honor, but the future of a soldier who can no longer fight runs out of misery.

The shopkeeper didn't despair of his future because of the money wrapped around him... suddenly there was an unpaid amount of salary paid...

He then set up a restaurant that combines dining halls, liquors, and lodgings where the sub-people come without offense.

The reason why the inn is also combined is because I felt it was inconvenient that there was no place where I could do that.

"... the air's getting cold."

Out of the store, Kane shuddered herself small and headed straight for the quarters.

The air feels extra cold because you know how busy it is during the day.

Walking down the street, I rub it off against two soldiers who do the night police.

The look on the beast man's face is hard to read, but I'm guessing he's not on guard because Kane's approaching doesn't change his gait.

I used to feel a little more tingly, but Kane strokes his jaw.

When I was just here, Hachel was insecure.

Even Kane felt in danger, especially near the walls.

That dramatically improved security in less than a year.

Of course, Chrono's measures were the driving force, but I feel proud that they also contributed to improving security.

Maybe I could have had another drink or two, Kane grinned.

The next day I went to the stables of the Marquis Mansion with my horse gear aside, and Layla was ready and waiting.

"Good morning, Captain Kane."

"... oops"

Wasn't Leila on vacation? and Kane strokes his jaw.

I just shaved my beard, so it conveys a strong feeling.

Did the upset tell, Leila turned her gaze to Kane?

"This is a message from Master Chrono. I have a visitor today, so he wants me to be present."

"Well, I don't mind. Is that good?

"Yes, I'm better off"

When Kane asked, Leila answered in a firm tone.

In Leila's case, a firm tone is the crook.

As far as Kane can tell, Leila is a serious soldier, as painted.

Understandable and driven.

Not putting emotions on the table, and modest self-assertion.

But that's why it's so hard to figure out where the limit is.

Should I say that I have the fear that I'm suddenly going to hit my limit and fall?

"Didn't you have to?

Yes, and Layla nods.

"When do guests come?

"I hear it's noon."

Sudden visitors... I don't know why, but you've got plenty of time to hear the explanation.

Well, ask a lot about Layla, too, and Kane will think about what he needs to do.

"I'm going to Master Chrono's, but don't push it."

"Thank you for your concern"

Leila smiled so small that she seemed to overlook how Kane was worried.

As Leila rode her horse, she went out of the gate of the Marquis Mansion.

"... Well"

I have to see Master Chrono first, and Kane wants to go to Chrono's room.

Oh, and Kane stopped on his feet in the middle of the stairs.

It's early morning now.

Whether Chrono is asleep is not a big problem.

Positively speaking, I suppose we should make it a problem, but if you're bringing your mistress into the room, that's the better problem.

"Morning, Kane."

"... oops"

When Kane was lost, Chrono came down the stairs with a neat face.

"I've been meaning to come and see you now."

"That's a good time. I'm usually asleep, but I asked Leila to work today."

For a moment, Kane didn't know what the word meant, but soon realized that Chrono was with Leila.

Kane strayed his gaze from Chrono,

"Ah, I have a job, but it's not bad, is it? I've been tasked with street security lately. Well, it's Layla's position."

"I'm glad you're worried about Leila, 'cause that's not all I'm thinking about."

"... I'm more scared of surrounding women and counting them out."

"No, because I didn't calculate that one"

As Kane pulled dong and penetrated, Chrono waved his hand left and right to deny it.

"That's about it for the joke."

"... that was a great face."

Kane has one cough.

"That's about it for the joke... is a customer a pain in the ass?

"Uh-huh. Well, it's a pain in the ass."

Chrono seemingly clouds his words.

"Move to the dining room and talk."

"Right."

Chrono seems to be asleep at this hour, so breakfast won't be ready, but he can talk now without being disturbed.

But Kane's thoughts are going to come off a lot.

When I went to the dining room with Chrono, it was because the Empress Tilia and Viscount Eryl Sardomerik were drinking incense tea.

"Chrono, you're early today."

"Tilia is the one."

"I'm always up early."

Empress Tilia enjoys the fragrance and leans her cup.

"What do we do?

"I'll leave you to Master Chrono."

Chrono roared to think,

If you can count on me, I'll talk to you here.

As Chrono sat next to Empress Tilia, Kane would sit next to that face...... Eryl.

"... I'm a customer, I'm the guild master of the mercenary guild"

"He's a mess."

"What's wrong with that?

Huh? and Chrono and Kane stared at Empress Tilia, who said strangely.

"Princess, I was... a mercenary who originally belonged to the mercenary guild of the Free City Nation, stealing slaves of loads from unwanted clients."

"So what's wrong with that? The law of the Free City Nation does not extend to the Empire. We don't even have a treaty to extradite criminals, so there's nothing wrong with that."

That said, Empress Tilia put the cup on the table.

"In the first place, it was Marquis Elakis who committed your sins. Because Krono, the lord, is not guilty, so no problem. What did you do then, Chrono?

"I surrendered my slaves to the slave traders and gently threatened not to treat them harshly, while I settled them peacefully with the power of gold"

"Well, no problem."

The Empress Tilia nodded satisfactorily.

"No, don't you have a moral problem?

"Morality? Now we're talking about the law."

The Empress Tilia put her arms together and said in a grumpy manner.

"When they bring up irrelevant stories and think I might have been bad, they pull out cheats and concessions"

For some reason, it was a strangely convincing dialogue.

"Tilia, I still have it in my roots that I ate the reverse drop."

"Huh! Oh, that was, that was the result of everything I did... well, yeah. That was an unusual battle!

When Chrono muttered bossly, Empress Tilia excused herself by turning aside.

"... right. You dropped it backwards, fully armed, against a junior noble opponent with no legitimate protective equipment. One buddy after another gets blown up... maybe I'll call that a snort shout ~"

"Well, when they say that, I think it's a little too much"

"A little? That's a nice joke, really"

Chrono poked his cheek wand and smiled.

That was a nice joke. I didn't even think of the shards. It was a laugh.

Well, Kane was convinced that Empress Tilia was being offered an unlimited number of concessions.

"I mean, you don't cut yourself out about what I did, but you should stick it out even if you get stuck with them?

"As it were, well, right. Oh, no, Chrono! I'm reflecting."

Empress Tilia excuses herself to Chrono as she nods at Kane's words.

"Let's talk about the reverse drop when we're alone."

"... ok"

Whoa, and Kane is anxious about what Empress Tilia looks like.

"But what are you going to do when the other guy comes out hard?

I hear the mercenary guild's punitive forces are all in order.

"If we can get out there, we'll have to fight this one too."

"Is that good?

When Kane inquired, Chrono poked his cheek wand at him as if it didn't seem funny.

"It's not good, but if you don't resist, you'll admit what they said."

No evil.

I really sincerely think so. Makes me want to scratch my neck off for my incompetence.

At noon, the door to the reception room opens.

The only man who came in alone was a man in his mid-thirties.

The flesh wrapped in undecorative clothes tightens, and the appearance of a body without gaps tells the story of him being an extremely good warrior.

The man's name is Schiff... he's the Alliance Master of the Mercenary Alliance.

When she was in the mercenary guild, Kane had only spoken to Schiff once.

It was a public story with no other love, but I thought Schiff was a rational figure.

The impression then remains the same.

No, it is now that I can assure you that the essence of Schiff is in reason.

For a moment, Schiff and I meet each other.

It's really a moment.

Schiff lost sight of Kane as if nothing had happened.

Kane stroked her chest down to relief.

I don't know what you mean, but he's not going to do anything about Kane right now.

"Please, take a seat."

"... thank you"

When Chrono urged him to sit on the couch opposite him, Schiff was stiff as he was upset and sat quietly on the couch.

Kane is desperate to laugh behind Chrono's back because he's scared to fuck with vegetables.

"Elaine asked me to meet with the Alliance Master of the Mercenary Alliance, and I made a promise, but I haven't heard the details."

"We..."

Schiff punctuates words and drips his head, lest he be enlightened of his intentions.

"... in short, I'm here to sell"

"Oh, I can't do that"

Krono rejected Schiff's proposal without a particular island.

"Directly, when I hired a mercenary, I brought in a private soldier... because they might think there was a rebellion"

"But merchants will need escorts."

Sure, Chrono nodded.

Policing is the Lord's business.

Chrono would have taken full responsibility if only he could keep the security of his territory, but Chrono's aim is territorial development.

As soon as I left Krono territory for that matter, it seemed bad to be attacked by bandits.

"Kane, what do you think?

"Isn't it most realistic that Master Chrono gives mercenary guilds permission to operate and merchants hire their own mercenaries?

That's how much you'd come up with yourself. Chrono asked Kane deliberately.

"Question number two, can you trust a mercenary guild?

"Whatever the end guys are, I think you can trust the Bethel Mountains guys."

It was the barbarians living in the Bethel Mountains who became the mother of the mercenary guild.

Because the Bethel Mountains have few plots of land suitable for cultivation, the men work as mercenaries to earn money and buy food.

Speaking without a body or a lid, I earn money.

"Okay. If Kane says so, I'll give the mercenary guild permission to operate. However, taxes must be paid"

"Thank you. So, you want to decide on a rough story?

Chrono and Schiff's discussion ended in about two hours.

Where will the base of activity be, how many mercenaries will you call and how much taxes will you pay?

Representation was placed in Count Cado territory to prevent trouble, in the presence of which the merchants and mercenaries exchanged contracts, which were even decided on strangely specific stories, such as drawing up three copies, including those kept by the deputies.

"Well, is this what it looks like? It's only a big mess, so it feels like the details are going to boil down."

"No objection"

Slowly Chrono leans against his back.

"Kane, please drop me off"

"Oh."

You want to impress me that I'm counting on you, but Kane leads Schiff to the gate of the Marquis Mansion.

During that time, Schiff never opened his mouth.

I guess I didn't want to drool over information in the Marquis Mansion rather than say silent.

Out of the Marquis Mansion grounds, Schiff looked back and looked to Kane.

"... that was Kane"

"You only talk about it once, and you remember it well. Do you remember the faces of all of them?

Khan, the sound of a hammer with Khan echoes.

"It's a coincidence. Coincidentally, I was impressed and just looking into how it works"

"If you're trying to pull a concession from Master Chrono on me, stop it."

Kane stares back at Schiff and smiles.

"Why not?

"If it's enough to make him weak, I'm ready to cut his neck off."

Kane is serious.

Originally, I was going to die instead of having my men's lives saved.

I laugh that's just now.

"... we will not forgive those who break the guild's code"

"You know what?

Schiff is faceless.

I'm sure this guy kills people with this look on his face.

"That's because if we don't work as mercenaries, our countrymen will die. A mercenary in the Bethel Mountains who is brave and resolute and will not betray his employer even if he dies... that's how he must remain recognized"

But Schiff goes on.

"But there are exceptions to everything. If we have any interest, we may miss out on those who have broken the guild's code."

"So, what about me?

Taunted, but Schiff is faceless.

"I told you, if it's profitable, I'll miss it."

"Thank you, I'm gonna cry."

Not answering Kane's light mouth, Schiff turned his back.

When he opened the door silently, Violet welcomed Kane as usual.

"Two days in a row, there's no new information."

"Oh, it's a different matter today"

Kane walks over to Violet and gently strokes her cheek.

"Aren't you at work today?

"Evil, no, but it's still work today. Hey, Elaine Sinner?

Kusley and sneering, Violet rubs Kane's arm through.

"Since when have you noticed?

"Was it really Elaine Sinner?"

Violet...... Elaine Sinner leaned against the window frame and opened her eyes.

The point is, I just stopped narrowing my eyes.

"Oh, did you hang the camel?

"Sounds similar."

Violet overhandled a wide range of information.

It's too much for a whore to handle.

Too clever a choice of information was also a source of discomfort.

Without some upbringing, I can't make a trade-off choice of information, etc.

It's unnatural to be a whore with all that upbringing.

It was unnatural not to show an interest in gold as a hundred steps away and a educated woman became a whore, or to work here but didn't smell like it.

"You, you were selling information to Shiv and Master Chrono, too, weren't you?

Elaine sold Kane's information to Schiff as an ingredient to facilitate the negotiations.

It is also possible that the information was simply disseminated.

So Schiff wasn't upset when he met Kane face-to-face.

Chrono didn't place any soldiers other than Kane in the reception room because he knew he couldn't get around to it either.

Who knows the three of you, Chrono, Schiff and Kane?

Violet is most likely, but Chrono doesn't buy whores.

Even Schiff would not mane to come from the group of free city states to buy a whore into the Marquis of Elakis territory.

Thinking about it, I see who Violet is.

In other words, as guild master of the group of free city states, union president of the Sinner trade union… is Elaine Sinner.

"Sure, I'm the one who passed your information on to Schiff, but I don't think he used it for that matter."

"I would have snickered about the judgment material."

As a result, Schiff didn't say anything.

I guess this is because I decided that it would be more profitable to negotiate normally than to threaten.

"What, you knew what kind of response Master Chrono would take?

"He has a surprisingly strong mouth."

Maybe, Kane scratched his head.

"So, well, one last question. Why me?

"... because I've loved you"

"Sleep and say what you say"

Kane said to Elaine, shy of turning away.

"If you don't drink, you don't go to a tavern, you don't hug, and you buy a whore, I'll realize you're collecting information."

"That's what I was looking for."

Then, and Elaine smiles glossy.

"I decided it wasn't a bad idea to get to know you."

"I'm scared of women."

Elaine's 'Not Bad' is not about emotion or mood, it means it could be in your interest.

Oh, man, Kane turned his back on Elaine and walked out toward the door.
