Daridora, who was excited, also had to calm down if Ray could poke Death Size at her.
What happens to me if I make a serious noise here... because the sharpness of the blade just seemed like it was in Death Size.
The coolness of the blade that touched my throat mowed my life like mowing the grass around it...... no, wouldn't I hunt it? That's what I think.
"... n, Cohon. You've apparently gotten too excited. I'm sorry."
To Daridora's words, he also decides to calm down for a moment the faces of his escort, Augusto and Zarousto, and once again mouths each other's information.
"So this is the raider captured by Mr. Augusto and the others... you really don't know any information, do you?
"Yeah, I don't think I'd give that kind of information to anyone who hired me more than just throwing away pawns."
"... is that your feeling after an interrogation?
To Daridora's words, Augusto nods back.
At the same time, Zaroust, standing behind Augusto, was nodding back again.
Daridora, who was staring at the two like that, eventually nodded as she sighed small.
Perhaps he's not hiding something, he really doesn't know anything about the captured person.
(I've come this far knowing the danger... honestly, you're nothing but unexpected. I didn't know you'd get any information)
Of course I didn't think that coming here would reveal all the circumstances...
But still, I just thought that some things would come to light.
It was Daridora's idea that that was the moment of total attribution to nothing and that there was nothing we could do about it as it stood.
(If so, what should we do now?... No, we've come this far around the corner, should we just exchange information)
Look and think about the afternoon sunlight coming in through the window.
Daridora opens her mouth towards Augusto, thinking that she had just wasted her time in the absence of any consequences, as she purposefully pushed danger to reach this mansion on the edge of Gosh.
"About today's raid...... what does Mr. Ougust think?
I guess that question came as expected for Augusto as well. Answer without looking particularly anxious.
"Right. Where there is no difficulty, the third party's attempt to fully develop the dispute between me and Mr. Daridora…"
"Do you still think so"
Daridora agrees that there is no question about Augusto's words.
"Yeah. What's to say this in front of Mr. Daridora, but I know that Mr. Daridora and I are in conflict if you are somewhat familiar with Gosh's situation.... Well, you should call me a one-sided disadvantage rather than a conflict"
"No, no, you won't. In fact, Mr. Ougust got a trump card named Ray."
"Well, I'm very glad to hear that Mr. Ray is willing to cooperate with me. But I can't tell you how much easier it is because there's so much going on."
We're having a laugh and conversation with each other, but the contents of the conversation include even the death of ourselves and our opponents.
Just so we can see that, won't we burst into each other's minds one day? Zaroust and Daridora's escorts feel such a danger.
Especially nervous would be Daridora's escorts, who have directly confirmed Ray's strength with their eyes.
If we fight in this narrow room, we'll never win.
Many people had originally felt Ray's strength in half their skin, but it was natural to still be greatly upset if they actually saw its strength in their own eyes.
The tensions around him like that didn't seem to bother him at all, and the two merchants continue their conversation.
"So what do you think is the aim of those who tried to exacerbate the conflict between me and Mr. Daridora?
"Normally, it feels like we're even trying to get them to have a massive protest all over the city..."
"Right. Normally, that would be the case. But the other side came to kill me for real.... At first I also thought it might be the discretion of the person who came to kill me... Mr. Daridora was similarly seriously targeted for life"
"Yes."
The first three men who attacked me, with paralyzed pain.
Thanks to the help of the escorts, starting with Narsus, it took some time, but they were still able to defeat it.
But countless arrows were fired upon the three men as if they were an arrow.
The arrow was definitely aimed at Daridora's life.
If Narsus hadn't sheltered aggressively, no doubt the arrows would have shot through Daridora's head.
"I mean, the aim over there is not to stir up the conflict, but the lives of me and Mr. Augusto....... but if you ask me who would imitate that......"
Augusto nods back again sighing in the same way to Daridora, who shakes her neck sideways as she exhales.
Even when we were discussing it with Zaroust and Ray before Daridora arrived, we ended up worried about who the third party was.
"If it's possible, they're from other organizations that are after their rights in this gosh..."
With that said, he had decided that there would be little of that line in Daridora.
If there are chambers of commerce or other organizations that are hostile to the Eléma Chamber of Commerce, I am proud to say that I must be hooked on my information network.
(For example, outside Gosh... but even the closest city or village to Gosh should be quite a distance away)
The question of whether the inhabitants of such cities and villages will come after their rights will not disappear.
"Lord... there's no chance, is there?
"You don't."
Daridora slashes and throws away Augusto's words.
Daridora understands that she is an absolutely necessary person for Lewbrand to run Gosh.
He also gave away several magic items and was proud to say that it was up to him that Lewbrand could live comfortably in this gosh.
If I were to be targeted by Lewbrand like that, that would be about the time I had the will to rebel against Lewbrand.
But Daridora has no intention of defying Lewbrand.
I'm interested in seeking commercial gain, but I have no desire to rule a city called Gosh.
The desire to make more profit in commerce was stronger than such a cumbersome imitation.
"So what are the other candidates..."
"You're buying grudges from people because assassins are after you? Well, I think it's gonna take too much to call this assassination."
To Daridora, who tried to find another candidate, Ray pinches his mouth so.
It is easier to understand that those who planned this raid thought that they had a hatred for Daridora, rather than something for profit... Ningro.
It was one person who raided Augusto, while it was three abandoned pawns who were painless who attacked Daridora. And there are more than one of them who shot an arrow.
It is also added that no one could confirm the appearance of those who shot the arrow.
Beyond that, if one had a stronger grudge, it would be more natural and Daridora.
In the first place, Daridora's Erema Chamber of Commerce has strong influence in the gosh, and it is not uncommon to mimic it forcefully against that background.
I resented that... or whoever was harmed by it plotted Daridora's assassination.
"... what do you say? Though I think it's possible enough. No, it seems more fateful this way than Ning Lo's rights and conflicts."
"It's..."
To Ray's words, Daridora gets stuck in words.
I guess I understand that people often resent me myself.
It was Daridora who couldn't say anything as it was, but I guess she decided she couldn't help but remain silent. Something hung my mouth open, just at that moment... the sound of a knock echoes through the room.
There's only one person in this mansion right now but we're gathered in this room.
Augusto, who understands it, calls to the door where he heard Knock.
"Kathy, what's going on?
In Augusto's words, the door opens and the person who knocked shows his face.
There you are, Kathy, naturally.
However, he does not have a kind of drink in his hand, but has a confused look somewhere.
"Ougust, the... Mr. Daridora's men are coming. He said he needed to know everything in a hurry. Do you mind if I let you through?
My men, are they?
Daridora was uncomfortably distorting her neurotic face to the point that she was interrupted in what she was about to talk about, but she said her own men had arrived... and if they heard that she had even come to Auguste's mansion, which you could also bother to say was hostile, I doubt it.
I have an important discussion about what I'm going to do. I didn't know anyone would imitate it in the way......
(If it's nothing. If I could run errands, you understand that I would be mad at you. Because this is how we came on top of it...)
Maybe something happened. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure something still happened.
"Mr. Ougust, may I have my men through here, if you please? I'm sure there's something more urgent than coming all the way to this mansion."
"... right. But can I let you through here? If you don't mind, I'll get you another room."
"No, I'm fine here. Both me and Mr. Ougust are now being targeted together. Don't you think we need to work together now, for example, regardless of the rumors of the past? For each other to survive."
Augusto gets lost for a moment in the words out of Daridora's mouth.
If it's just me, I have a trusted escort named Zaroust and, most importantly, an adventurer with the alias Ray and Seto.
Then don't you need to bother working with Daridora here?
That's what I thought, but there was also a danger that it might involve those working in my shop.
As a result, Augusto chose to join hands with Daridora temporarily, albeit with a bitter choice.
"Okay. Okay, Kathy. Please let those people through here."
To Augusto's words, Kathy nods and leaves with the door closed.
I guess he picked up Daridora's men.
"Well... good and bad reports. Which do you think?
Daridora shook her neck sideways to Ougust, who asked if it also meant crushing her free time.
"Thinking about today, I guess it's not very but it's not a good report. I'd like it to be a good report for me if I could."
"... right"
Given what happened to me today, there is no element that either Augusto denies Daridora's words.
A small sigh of sigh fills the room with silence.
Augusto and Daridora were thinking about what would happen next, and the escorts, including Zarousto, were determined to make sure they protected them the next time there was a raid... in which Ray was watching his surroundings without ever having a serious atmosphere.
A few minutes later...... the door is knocked again.
And what came into the room was Kathy and one man.
"Oh......"
Who was it that raised such a voice?
But I can't help it either. Because when I saw the look on the face of the man who came in, I didn't think he had come because of a very, but good report.
The man who saw Kathy bow her head small and then leave, although she tried to open her mouth towards Daridora, wonders if she could open her mouth because there are augusts hostile to Daridora on this occasion.
(You can't even do that. Until this morning, if you can kill him, he's the one you wanted to kill.)
While Daridora thinks so, she opens her mouth by deciding that she won't need to do any more hiding than she currently does with Augusto.
"I don't mind. Currently I am working with Mr. Ougust. Tell me what happened because I don't care."
Though the man had a startling look at the word that he was working with Augusto, he eventually understood that was the truth, not a lie or a joke.
Eventually he opens his mouth with a little hesitation.
"Earlier… really earlier, there were reports that the Tila Tree Laboratory had been raided. I'm currently doing people and gathering more information, but I thought I needed to let Daridora know about this as soon as possible, so I came one step ahead to report it."
Yes, I told him.
