Legend

There were only thin lights in the room.

A lively voice heard from the outside.

Gilm nights can be quite noisy with summers and people working on additions making noise.

By the time the date changes, there will be some work tomorrow and it will be somewhat quiet...... the time now is still the time to call it a night's sleep, with no sign of quiet.

Laughter, cheer, yelling and screaming heard from nowhere.

There are bugs flying through the room and the air that never cools down at night, and those in the room are naturally exasperated.

"Hey, how many do you collect? There are a lot of people in the Guild right now, so it's not going to be hard to get women together."

Of the multiple who are in the dim room, one man asks.

"Some numbers are gathering. It's just a matter of where you keep them locked up. So far, so good, but we might find it sometime. There's a smell."

A man interrogated with a sigh shrugs, but a third man who was in the room opens his mouth to such a man.

"Silly, you. You like the smell of a woman, don't you? You smell like a woman, huh?

"... I don't understand your sexuality. Come to think of it, if this is winter, it's summer now, okay? Keep a bunch of women in one cell in this heat. I let him use the kettle at the beginning and end of the day, and he didn't wipe his body, so he smelled like sweat... okay. Okay, so let your eyes shine. Don't look at me."

The second man breaks up the conversation before saying anything more when he realizes that the third man shines his eyes and looks at himself with the gaze he expects something from him.

For a man who only has normal sexuality, the smell of a woman was because she couldn't keep up with the sexuality of a man who was welcome.

Not to mention, even though the smell seems to be happily told, I can't agree with that.

The first man, who was silently listening to such an exchange between the two, opens his mouth to break off the nagging topic.

"Anyway, you still don't have enough women, do you?

"Oh.... it would have been easier to collect numbers. I didn't think security would be so tight."

I nod as the other two agree to the words of a man grumbling irritably.

It's a guild that brings together a lot of people to work on additions.

Naturally, if there are so many people, there will be many strangers.

That's why they were these three people who came to Gilm to gather people, but the security of Gilm was surprisingly good.

Regardless if many of the inhabitants are villages they know each other, many of the guards miss crime with money if they become on a scale such as a city or city.

But there were no such men in the guards of Gilm.

(No, people are creatures of desire. There's no way there's no such guy at all. Because we simply can't find that much)

It's a guild on the edge, so I guess it's clever to get paid.

The man who thinks so, tongues abominably.

In the end, we cannot secure women from the places where many women are gathered, and as a result, we are connected to a criminal organization based in Slam Street and have them turn around from there.

Naturally, criminal organizations do not accommodate women in any way in return.

I received the money from the men and gave it to the woman.

That would cost money, as it should, and it would be difficult to gather the same number of people in the guild as the men had originally planned.

In fact, the funds already given from above as funds for activities have already been reduced to about half.

Even though we haven't gathered all the women that were meant to be.

"Even so, I wish at least it was any woman or something to collect"

"Uh... well, I don't know how that feels. But I don't. No scrupulous work, at least a woman above average. Well, a good woman smells better or something like that."

The men continue their conversation as they try not to hear only the last words.

"Well, you can't help it. The women need to have a good baby over there. And as many women as you can get."

"... instead of having children as a result of taking customers, let them take customers to have children.... Doesn't feel too good."

"I like the smell a lot."

"Shut up, pervert."

Between the three men, only a little calm air flows in the words of the last man.

In the meantime...... eventually one man opens his mouth.

"With that said, didn't you say yesterday you were turning to city security today?

"... I was going to do that too. I was wondering if there might be a woman on the street who could do something about it. But the guild invited me, and you can't help it."

"I wish I could say no"

"Don't be silly. I have a reputation for being pretty serious in the guild, don't you think? There's no way I can turn down a request from the Alliance."

"Pfft, is Ajas serious?... what kind of joke is that?"

Man...... make a laugh in the room when Ajas says that each of the two men in the room heard even a funny joke.

In fact, if Ajas is serious, isn't there going to be no one in the world who isn't serious?

The two men laugh, even with that thought in mind.

"Rebejeff, Haston. I'm honestly unhappy that you guys are laughing at me. Especially Huston, a pervert who likes women's body odors."

"You have no way of calling me a pervert. I'm sure it's a noble hobby that no one else understands."

"... a noble hobby, huh? Looks like something to me. Anyway, let's get back to it. I was turned to Trent Forest Security today..."

Something suspicious mixes up with the words of Ajas, who said so much.

I guess the other two understood that, too. Wait for Ajas to open his mouth.

"To the Trent Forest Guard, Ray is here"

"What? Ray? That deep red? You're lying, right?"

Rebejeff's, like a loose voice in between.

But there was just a shock in Ajas' words today that wouldn't be strange if it did.

In the first place, Ray has been assigned a lot of work on this gilm addition.

Why does such a ray come all the way to the Trent Forest until I take up my busy time?

Neither Rebejeff nor Haston understands why.

"Well... Trent Forest timber is also treated as an important material in this addition... but I don't think it's going to be much more profound than it is."

"Right. Normally, there's a lot more work to do."

So whine as Haston agrees with Rebejeff's words.

That's not a special opinion, but anyone who knows how capable Ray is would be able to agree.

Obviously, turning Ray isn't the right thing to do with Trent's forest escort.

"Right.... and maybe, really maybe... I think Ray was after me"

"... hey"

Unlike the light appearance until a few seconds ago, a low voice leaks from Rebejeff's mouth.

The gaze was also sharp, rather than familiar until earlier.

"Maybe he was supposed to do some weird imitation and get his tail grabbed, right?

"No, that shouldn't happen. I haven't seen anything like this since I came to Gilm."

That, Ajas could say with confidence, too.

In fact, I've worked as a serious adventurer as possible since I came to the Guild.

I could assure you that I had never been caught in the eye from there.

Still, the words Ray was saying inspire Ajas' vigilance.

(Killed a pedestrian?... Which pedestrian? In the first place, there must be no witnesses left. There was a survivor...

On his left hand...... more precisely looking at the tattoo of a carved snake on his left hand, Ajas has a bad feeling.

The tattoo on your left hand is very noticeable.

If anyone had survived, this snake tattoo would be a factor that could easily identify itself.

Most of all, the trouble was that Ray didn't know who the pedestrian he was talking about.

How many,... No, it's Ajas who has killed dozens of people.

There were naturally a number of traffickers among them, and Ajas had no idea which matter he was talking about.

"So, what are we gonna do? Deep red... No, if Ray's staring at you, you can't make a detour right now, can you?

"Oh. I'd rather be a grown-up for a while. You guys need to work for that..."

"I owe you."

"Oh, it's a loan. If you introduce me to a woman with a strong body odor, I'll forgive you."

To Huston's words, the air in the room is somewhat soothing.

"Right, lend it to me. Whatever you smell, I'll have a woman for Huston later."

Of course, preparing one of these women means that they will be stripped forcefully, not in the sense of referral.

What you're talking about is nothing more than a crime, but when you hear the words, Haston opens his mouth with a full grin, like blowing the air that was drifting until earlier.

"Are you sure?

"Oh, thanks for the inconvenience."

"No... you're my best friend to have"

"Is there a woman in Haston? Then I can expect a lot of things, too, right?

"Oh. Expect me.... So, back to the point, how do we deal with Ray... To be honest, I'm still attracting Ray, so I don't know if I'm gonna let you guys handle the woman, okay?

"... I see. I think Ray's got a good nose. I hear a lot of bad guys got wasted because of his involvement."

"If you think about it, we'll feel somewhat safe while Ajas draws Ray.... but some of them have been sniffing around Ajas lately, so we can't move very flashly."

Huston groans abominably.

On the face of it, Ajas, Rebejeff and Haston are supposed to be faceless.

Each is coming to the Guild as a solo adventurer.

I guess that's why Rebejeff and Huston both noticed. That someone here has been looking into Ajas lately.

If the other person is skilled, naturally those who are being looked into - in this case Ajas - are hard to notice that.

But if you're a third-party standing person, it wasn't hard to find someone looking into Ajas.

Of course it's not how amateurs around here can do this, but Rebejeff and Huston only come to take a ton of women away from the guild, and in a general sense they have the skill to just call them first-rate.

So, all over the city, in the guilds, in the taverns, in the shops… When I stumbled upon Ajas in such a place, I noticed the presence of those who were exploring it.

And that information naturally flows to Ajas as well, beyond what Rebejeff and Haston both found out about it.

"I think it's probably Ray's hand... the information I know suggests that Ray doesn't have that hand tissue"

There's a connection between Ray, Marina, Dusker, and Egg, but I guess Ajas doesn't know that far either.

Most of all, I thought it was no surprise that anyone was looking for something more than they were aware that they were doing something dark behind them.

"Normally, the most suspicious ones are the ones in the slam?

"But we're dealing, right? Whatever, so you can imitate what makes us wonder? You're only gonna lose money over there."

To Rebejeff's words, Haston says the opposite.

But Ajas shook his head sideways at such Haston's words.

"Over there, there's a chance he's suspicious of us.... In the first place, I wouldn't imitate this much like collecting women. I guess it's interesting to know why we need it so much."

"... softly, we want to smoke some sweet juice."

"Don't be angry."

The words out of Ajas' mouth, angry, both agree with Rebejeff and Haston.

We do business with ourselves, and even though we're making a lot of money, we're still going to get our hands on it...

"Do you want to crush them and talk to another organization? There are a lot of people in the Guild right now, so you won't have a hard time getting women together."

That was Rebejeff to tell, but Ajas shakes his neck sideways to deny it.

"Let's stop it. There is no definite proof that it's them. If you imitate like that and actually have nothing to do with it over there, it would be a pain in the ass.... If you're going to do it, it's time to consolidate the evidence."

The other two snort at the words.

Thus, Ajas and the others become mildly suspicious ghosts because of the thought that they are doing dark things behind them.

... Regardless, Ray must have been lucky for Ilse, who has yet to know who he is.
