Legend

The Rays are taken to a room in the back of the tavern.

It was a pretty small room, but there's nobody there.

Did they fool you for a second? Ray to think of, but the shopkeeper steps silently on part of the floor.

Then at the next moment, the floor, far from where you stepped, makes a noise and goes up.

What Ray saw with his gaze on that open spot was a staircase leading down to the basement.

"Well, maybe it's just the right thing to do to keep you from finding it. I don't think there's a place to run when something happens in the basement."

"Don't worry about it. This isn't the only place that leads from the basement. There are several other places connected."

A shopkeeper who hears Ray whining tells him to be proud.

In fact, building a basement so that it continues elsewhere is not something that can be done so easily, even though just building a basement will definitely require commensurate effort.

"Is this really just a tavern?

"Well, I've been doing it as a regular liquor store since my dad's day."

From that word, it can be seen that it was never a normal tavern until the grandfather's generation of the shopkeeper.

But Ray never really cared about it.

If Ray is a person from the Labourina Nation, he may care about the area, but now Ray just came to retaliate against Jaya.

Beyond that, there's no way to care about the area now, and we head to the basement.

And there's nothing like other faces, starting with Elaine, that care more than Ray doesn't care.

Ningro, the owner of the tavern is more surprised by the attitude of the Rays, but hurriedly follows them, saying that if you don't go like this and let the Rays go alone, it can be unpleasant.

Down the stairs leading to the basement.

Unchu at the end of this staircase is quite alert.

That would be more natural than hostile to an organization called Jaya.

Not to mention Unchu, who runs the profession of an informant, whose power is considerable.

So if you look at Ray and the others as suspicious people, there's plenty of potential for an attack.

The store owner has no experience in combat.

No, I've seen or stopped the drunk fights at the liquor store, but that's just a drunken fight.

It's not like I've ever fought a battle that put my life on the line in a real way, so I didn't know how much power the Rays had.

Of course that dagger... I brought the dagger I had left with Zells, so I expected it not to be the only one.

"Wait, wait. You guys don't know Unchoo. If you do it badly, it's a fight, so I'll move on!

That's what I'm saying, I'm going down the stairs after the Rays.

Once the stairs are large enough for people to manage to make a difference, it's easy to outrun the rays who are moving on. It's easy...

Every time you pass right through three similarly beautiful beauties: Elaine, Marina, and Vihera, there are three different scents that stimulate the shopkeeper's desire.

Try to be the one to know who these three are and you'll go down the stairs while you do the deed, which wouldn't be strange if they turned your outrageous jealousy on you.

Note that some of the outcasts naturally looked like Bühne, but some of the only mature women the shopkeepers would learn to desire, and they didn't care like the other three.

When you arrive that way next to Ray, you open your mouth.

"Unchoo has a lot of blood. You guys don't want to make a scene, do you?

"I won't deny that. We just want information about Jaya. Especially with that magic item..."

"Magic item?

"Oh, hey, get some magic items from Jaya. I want to know what effect it had."

"... I see. But it's not like Unchoo's an alchemist.

"I know that. But it's a magic item used in jars. It's natural to wonder if he's an informant and has any information? Of course, there are other things I'd like to ask you about Jaya."

Some information was obtained from the men involved in the taverns and mejougos.

But that is only to a certain extent, and only to a degree generally known.

Of course, Ray and I have never been to Labourina before, so it's not like the information didn't help us at all.

But what the Rays crave is information about Jaya in a deeper sense.

Specifically, the information you need to do Jaya enough damage to make you regret your hands on Gilm.

(If an informant like Unchu is hostile to Jaya, it's not strange to have that kind of information)

In the first place, an informant named Unchu was a person of considerable value to the Rays in that he is hostile to Jaya in this Labourina country.

"I see.... oh, there."

The shopkeeper nods at Ray's words and turns his gaze forward.

At the end of that gaze, there was one door.

It's a wooden door, but I can understand from Ray's eyes that it looks pretty sturdy.

It's not a common door around here, but a special order… it's called a door that I think is close to being made to order.

In fact, Ray's predictions are never wrong.

At the time this basement was built, this place needed to be so strict.

(Really, what was this tavern doing before)

In front of Ray, who has such doubts, the shopkeeper knocks on the door several times.

Somewhere regular that sound isn't hard to get Ray to imagine that the knock itself means something.

That's how nearly a dozen knocks end, and after a dozen seconds... the door opens.

However, it doesn't suddenly open enough for people to get in.

In the gap between the doors, there was the face of one man.

(I see. Is that the kind of knock that knocks when you have someone else besides yourself right now?... is that like a Morse signal?

I'm not that familiar with Morse signals... that was Ray who had only some knowledge of comics, novels, cartoons, etc. when I was in Japan, but still knew about the principles.

That's why I could easily imagine that knocking now probably means that.

"Who?

"I'm a guest to you. Introduction from Zells."

The man across the door...... the man, supposedly unchu, doesn't see how he trusts the storekeepers as soon as he hears them, and looks at the Rays still.

But my gaze from Unchu weakens as if I noticed something.

"Deep red ray."

What surprised me about the words that came out of the mouth of the man who supposedly pooped was not Ray......, nor his people, but the owner of the liquor store.

"Deep red!?

"Well, that's the thing.... apparently my information was well in there as well"

"Naturally. I didn't hide anything in particular, but I usually came into Rossi. Besides, I took Griffon. So it's weirder not having information."

I would have told you so, but the owner of the tavern probably didn't realize it. Still looking at Ray with a stunned look.

Feeling that gaze, Ray opens his mouth satisfactorily knowing that the arm of an informant named Unchu is definitely there.

"That's the way it is.... Well, then why did we come here? You see that?

"I don't even have to think about it. You come all the way to an informant like me. Naturally, you're asking for information on Jaya, right?... come on in. Let's talk."

The door opens with the words of Unchu.

He decides it's time to go inside this time, and the Rays go inside as they are... but the owner of the tavern opens his mouth when he sighs in confusion.

"For now, you've had enough of my part. There's a lot I'd like to ask, but I don't think I can leave the store alone."

"Oh, I'll take care of this one"

They were two people who exchanged words briefly, but even then, Rays also found that there was a deep trust between them.

Only then will the store owner go back up and only the Rays will be left on the spot.

But soon, Unchoo opens his mouth.

"Come in. I don't know if I have the information you want... but I still can't crush Zells' face when I introduce you here."

That's what Unchoo tells me in a sober tone. Rays enter the room.

That's how the Rays enter the room, and look surprised to see how the room looks.

The room where the Rays came in is about eight tatami in size and has everything from desks, chairs and beds.

But I'm not surprised... because there were several doors in one room.

That number, five in total.

This many doors in one room is the only sight uncomfortable from Ray's eyes.

If each of those doors is connected to another place...... I see it would be easy to get out of here if someone raided that tavern looking for Unchu.

"The chairs... unfortunately, there are no numbers. There's no such thing as a sofa, so please sit on the floor as you see fit. I don't think it's a bad idea to deal with an alias adventurer or a princess general."

That's what I said, Unchoo, but it's obvious from the look on his face that he doesn't think it's as bad as words.

Late thirties, no. About forties.

Not that I'm trained, but I'm a man with a sharp gaze.

The word lone wolf comes up behind Ray's brain, but it wouldn't mean anything more than working with the liquor store owners and others in the first place.

Anyway, the Rays aren't particularly disgusted with sitting on the floor either.

Each sits on a cloth that Ray took out of the mistering.

"… convenient, is that the item box"

I look at the cloth removed from the mistering and the cunt squeaks smugly.

I had heard that Ray had an item box as information, but it was still a huge shock to see with my own eyes.

"Sort of.... Well, you seem to know a lot about this one, but should I introduce myself for now?"

That said, Ray introduces the members who are on the spot.

Hearing that, Unchu also introduces himself...... Quickly, get down to business.

Rays came to visit Unchoo for no reason whatsoever to deepen their intimacy.

I was purely looking for information about Jaya, so I couldn't possibly be upset about that kind of unchu attitude. No, I even liked it when Ningro talked quickly.

"Right. I've got a lot to ask you... don't wonder what to start with"

"After all, isn't this a good place to start from what you most want to know?

Ray opens his mouth to the words of the marina who tells him so, convinced that's true too.

"Then hurry.... can you tell me where Jaya cares most, where it hurts when it's destroyed, etc?

"... I don't mind telling you, but why would you want to know that? No, of course I know Rays are hostile to Jaya from that question... but you are from the Kingdom of Mireana, aren't you? Why bother putting your face on the troubles of a small country like Labourina? That too..."

Once the word stopped, Unchu turns his gaze to Elaine, who was sitting next to it, not Ray.

"Anyway, if it's just Ray the Adventurer, come with me to the Princess General, who can be considered a symbol of the aristocracy"

"Well, normally, you'd be surprised. No, if I'm not surprised by this, I'm surprised."

That's what Marina tells Unchu to say with a grin.

In fact, until not long ago, neutralism and aristocracy were close to hostilities.

Although relations have improved only recently, there are a certain number of people, both neutral and aristocratic, who believe that is not satisfactory.

Why do such two factions come all the way to the kingdom of Mireana, such as the land of Labourina?

It was only natural for Unchu to question it.

"Oh.... so? Why bother?"

"Do you know how the whores who work in Mejougo are collected?

"Uh... I see. Okay."

Even if Ray didn't say it to the end, I guess that's all Unchu figured out why.

"I mean, is that it? The Jayans went to the Guild to gather women to be whores."

"Oh. So, naturally, there's no reason for Master Dusker, who is Lord of the Guild, not to do anything. So we were sent to retaliate."

"... is Jaya thinking of something too? Well, fine. Then I know why. So, that was a painful place for Jaya. There are a few... I want to hear them before then. You know the story about Mejougo hookers disappearing regularly?

Seriously...... thats what he looked at Ray like he wouldn't forgive if he lied and that's what Unchu asked.
