Legend

As he enters the room, Ajas throws the long sword sheath he had in frustration.

"Damn it!

The sound echoes around and creates surprise at the look on the faces of Rebejeff and Haston, the two companions who were in the room......

"Hey, what's going on? Why are you so rough?"

When Haston, who was drinking ale, asked Ajas, it was Rebejeff, not Ajas, who was asked, who answered it.

"Maybe something happened with Ray?

From one incident yesterday, we already know that Ajas is suspicious of Ray.

More than that, I could have expected Ray to give Ajas a little bit.

And as Rebejeff expected, Ajas nods irritably.

"I didn't have Ray in the Trent Forest at first today, so I thought you'd be relieved. Ray came along the way.... No, that's fine. I heard you come to Trento Forest every day to carry the trees you cut."

"... Well, if you have an item box, it sounds like it would be easier to haul a tree or something. Looks like the lady I got over here can carry it easy, and I want the item box, too.... Too bad I can't smell a woman's body odor"

"You don't know? I hear you can't put a creature in an item box, huh?

"Ugh. … but it seems very user-friendly."

"Oh. They analyze the item boxes once and have similar magic items. It's not very much, but it's not the kind of money we can get."

I would have listened to Ajas, but sometime Rebejeff and Haston were talking about magic items.

Ajas, who was listening to it, feels the blood coming naturally down on his head until now on the condition of the two of them.

Neither did the two of us in front of us have these interactions aimed at it... but Ajas realizes he wasn't calm.

Compared to when he first came into the room that way, he opens his mouth in a somewhat calm way.

"Leave the magic item thing alone.... Anyway, I don't know why, but I'm totally eyed by Ray. I expected that as of yesterday, but that's not funny."

You must have returned it to me in Ajas' words. Rebejeff and Haston both stop talking about magic items and turn their gazes to Ajas.

"Well, it hurts that I don't know why. If we don't know what's going on around here, we don't know when we're going to see each other."

Rebejeff's words also felt like he was trying to trump Ajas at first glance, but he didn't intend to do that to them.

These three have been working together for several years, and they are moving on orders from above in this case as well.

That's why I have a sense of fellowship, and Ajas is a leader position person among the three in the first place.

Neither Rebejeff nor Haston thought about abandoning it at all.

"Right. It's possible that Rebejeff and Huston could have their eyes on me, too, more than they know why I've been blinded.... Fortunately, we don't have to worry about the area yet."

Beyond doing all sorts of dark things behind us, Ajas and the others naturally have the skills of bandits as well.

All three of them possessed those skills, which is why it was also possible to detect that Gilm's intelligence forces had investigated Ajas.

But the three of them... I couldn't understand why I had Ray's eye, especially on Ajas.

(Given what you said about the pedestrians, it's likely that I got my eye on them from that side... but which pedestrian are you?

I can't tell who the pedestrians Ray was talking about more than I've attacked so many travelers, pedestrians, adventurers, etc.

From other people's point of view, all I can say is that I deserve it, but for the Ajas and the three of them, it was very troublesome not to know what was going on around there.

"What do we do? I haven't collected the number of people I was planning yet, but do you want to leave the guild yet? Luckily, it's not hard to get out now."

"But that doesn't reach the number of people designated above, does it? I'm just saying there's not enough people over there."

To Huston's words, Ajas and Rebejeff both... no, even Huston, who said it, shut up in disgust.

It's not like I didn't want to take the woman away.

To that extent, that's what I've done the same thing so many times before, and I've even dyed my hands for more brutal acts than that.

Still, I felt bad because I know how the women I've been taken away will end up.

I get rambled by the guys...... and if that's all, it's not such a rare story in this world though it's a bad way to say it.

But given the ending the women eventually get, even the Ajas don't feel good about being called the outer roads.

At least we were absolutely sorry to see ourselves the same way.

(Well, that's the kind of guy we won't have to see... but if we do poorly, there's no chance we're going to have a more tragic end)

With that in mind, Ajas and the others had no intention of leaving the organization to which they belonged.

Because it's just a dangerous organization, and the reward was a substitute for more than I expected.

Also... if we escape poorly, we can easily predict that we will follow them everywhere to dispose of the Ajas who know their secrets.

Ajas and the others know more or less about the situation above.

"Ajas is the only one who's got eyes on you, isn't he?

To Rebejeff's words, Ajas nods abominably.

"Oh, not now."

... Yes. It is now.

It seems that only Ajas is suspected now, but it is possible that both Rebejeff and Haston will be able to see Ray and other intelligence forces as well.

Now I act separately and pretend to be in the wind that I'm not usually acquainted with staying in the same inn, but I don't expect that to last forever.

Beyond that, I already had to think about the dangers of finding the other two.

"Then does Ajas leave the guild once? That's how the closest city to here was... Abu Ero? You think they're waiting for us while we gather the women?"

"... I see. If I get out of the guild, it won't do you any harm. That might be a good idea."

"Um, I don't really agree with that."

It was Huston who disagreed with Rebejeff and Ajas.

"Why? You're under suspicion because I'm here, aren't you? Then if it wasn't for me..."

"No, I know that. I understand, though.... Honestly, we're finally the three of us working in the Guild, right? If Ajas is gone there, the worst jobs could go around. So how do you think we're gonna get the organization behind the slums we're dealing with?

If you say so, the other two get stuck in words too.

I am in a position to do business with the organization behind the slam and gather women, but the deal is being made safely only because these three are doing their job without a shortage.

But the fact that the three of us are just doing our job also means that if we lose even one of the three of us, there will be a lot of obstacles.

If that happens, it would be difficult to say if the existence of a back organization would do business as humanly as ever......

Considering we originally came to the Guild to collect women, it was quite a blow to the Ajas and the others to be unable to do business with the organization.

If they can't make a deal with the organization, Ajas and the others have to get themselves a woman.

One or two of us wouldn't be impossible to manage to get him out with just his mouth.

But to do something about just how many people are being told from above, it's not very much, but you can't make it if you're doing that.

"That's... but Ray's got my eye on me. If I were here, you'd most likely get caught, too, at worst, right? In order not to, it would be better for me to disappear from the guild."

Huston also has to talk more than what Ajas has to say.

Rebejeff, who was watching the two of them like that, opens his mouth with a little thought.

"Huston, how many women are gathered now?

"Huh? Uh... I wonder how it went. I think there were about thirty of them."

"How much more slave collar do you have left?

"About twenty."

It is not normal to take fifty men out of the Guild.

We can't let the captured women make more noise than we need to get out by illegal means.

Not to mention, what future awaits them as they are... given that, I'm absolutely sorry to be taken by Ajas and the others.

The collar of slaves, who would be absolutely obedient to orders, was imperative so as not to make noise when leaving the guild.

Of course it's an expensive substitute for the right amount of money, but around fifty lightly prepared pieces of it, I guess it shows how powerful it is to be on the Ajas and the others.

"Then do you want to get rid of Gilm already? If it's about twenty people, we can do something about it in other cities and villages, starting with Abu Ero and Subrusta?

"If the Alliance finds out that we're going first and there won't be a woman left, isn't that a lot to taste? If they make you a bounty neck or something, it's going to be hard to act."

Ajas and the others acting as adventurers are by no means impersonating.

He's officially enrolled in the guild and works as an adventurer.

And that's why Ajas and the others are given the important role of bringing women together.

Of course, Ajas and the others are all quite confident in their abilities.

To the point that I think that if I were no longer an adventurer, I would be able to live in the back society.

Most of all, that's why I don't want to throw away the adventurer because I like it.

"Then will you?... How long will it take to get ready to leave?

"Uh... what are we going to do with the deal we're negotiating. If it works out, maybe the other five can handle it."

"Then let's finish the negotiations we're doing right now. If you forcibly end the negotiations, you could be hostile to the other side if you do poorly."

It would be possible to force the negotiations to end more than you have already made the decision to leave the guild...... no, it would be possible to stay out of the guild even if you didn't.

But if you get evil feelings over there, and even the kind of chaser you get out, it's gonna be a hassle.

Also, if you gather more women in the guilds, you don't have to take so many women away on the journey along the way.

That's not what I think from the heart of mercy, it was stronger that we simply didn't want to leave evidence that we went through there.

Plus, I don't want to imitate what the guards are looking for.

Ultimately, there will be a unanimity of all opinions, which will make this deal our last.

"Then you'll need to make a reason to get out of the guild"

"Uh... I see. There are a lot of people coming in the Guild right now, but there won't be so many guys out there."

To Ajas' words, that's what Haston returns.

Gilm is doing well with the city's construction.

Naturally, there are more people coming in than leaving.

There are several jobs involved in building additions, and that's not the adventurer, and if you have the strength of a general public, you won't have trouble working.

No one wants to leave the guild so easily because they have come all the way to make money to the guilds on the border next to danger.

However... among other things, there are several ways to get out of the guild in a way that is not unnatural.

Of these, the most common are…

"Escort."

To the words out of Ajas' mouth, Rebejeff nods as he agrees, and Haston gives a look of surprise.

Yes, it was the guilds where many people gathered in the additions, but it was the merchants who were carrying the materials used in the additions.

Of course some material can be prepared from Trento Forest and the resources that can be collected in the vicinity, but it is not possible to prepare all the materials for the additional works on its own.

And when the merchant delivers the materials to the guild, he leaves the guild to get new materials again.

Gilm additions were also exactly when the merchants made money, that for the merchants they could sell as much material as they brought if they also brought it.

Most of all, it's just some kind of eye-catching merchant.

... Thus, Ajas, together with his two companions, first decided to finish the deal currently under way before leaving the Guild as a merchandise escort.
