The story of raiding Mejougo today naturally informs Dusker in advance.
Above and beyond that, Dusker, who naturally wanted to know the result immediately, had arranged for Ara, who was being deposited Ray's pair of orbs, to come to the Lords' Hall.
That's why when Elaine uses a pair of orbs, there's an immediate reaction from the other side.
"Dear Elaine, you're apparently safe."
Seeing Elaine reflected in a pair of orbs, Ara exhales relief from the bottom of her heart.
Of course, Ara knows how powerful Elaine is.
Still, as someone who is still intoxicated by Elaine, it would be a relief to see her safe.
"Oh, this one is not at all problematic...... but still the action as planned was successfully completed. There were a few unscheduled results."
'Unscheduled results, is it?
I guess the figure of Lutus and his escorts a little further away doesn't look like Ara.
Elaine shakes her neck sideways saying she has no problem with Arla asking as if she were worried somewhere.
"This one has no problem, I told you so? There are no lies in that word. But I could use a little consultation with Lord Dusker. Ara, is it the Lords' Hall you're in?
"Yes, because they told me to pack it here today."
Had this been the kind of aristocratic language that only contemplated its own interests, Ara would not have heard it either.
But Ara knows that Dusker is not such a nobleman.
I don't know, I guess that's natural because I've been involved a lot.
Elaine, too, smiles and opens her mouth to see if she understands how Ara feels like that.
"Well, then, hurry up, but take Lord Dusker's place."
"I understand."
With that said, Ara gives a slightly unfortunate look.
As for Arla, who is intoxicated by Elaine, she would have liked to talk to Elaine more if she could.
But normally, anyway, we don't have time to talk like we've been talking for a long time now.
"You can talk to Ara tonight, can't you?
'Yes!'
I guess Elaine was happy with that word for Ara. When you snort with a full smile, you immediately call people and ask Dusker to let them know you've heard from Elaine.
Usually, Dusker is very busy because he also has a job as a lord.
If this is a normal city, Gilm is still a city on the edge.
Not to mention the impact of the fact that we are now working on additions to the Guild, which also has a higher number of jobs than usual.
There are also many visits by nobles and merchants in an attempt to benefit at all from being involved in the construction.
It should have been quite difficult to meet with Dusker in the current situation.
But... after turning people to let them know that Ara had heard from Elaine, Dasker shows up in Ara's room less than a few minutes later.
I was meeting with a merchant, but I guess it also affects that he wasn't talking that important with things like showing his face.
Nor is it strange for a merchant to feel uncomfortable that his opponent will take a seat during an interview if it is normal, but a merchant does not protest if it is normal because he wants Dusker to congratulate him on his memory somehow.
Ning Ro, by saying I didn't care about myself, I had even succeeded in making a good impression on Dusker.
He seems to be a merchant around attaching a promise to see him again as soon as possible.
Either way, Dusker, who appeared after interrupting the meeting with the merchant, sends a glance of gratitude for Ara giving up the place where she was sitting, and sits in front of the opposing orb.
At that time, he learns that Dusker has come and Elaine replaces Ray as well.
Retaliation against Jaya is the job Ray took from Dusker.
More than that, I guess it's from such a decision that you can't just help yourself report it.
'Thank you for your hard work, Ray. So be quick, but let me hear the report. "
"Yes, first of all, in the sense of retaliation against Jaya, I was wondering if we could have achieved enough results"
Tell him so, and Ray begins talking about when he infiltrated the giant's nest - although the expression assault is more correct - when he did.
The report out of Ray's mouth deserves to be called just as tragic.
This was especially true of the giant child born of eating through his mother's belly.
Other than that, giant rampage in black crystals and giant nests, the unbrainwashing of the whores, and the battle between the Resistance and Jaya.
Having heard those explanations, Dusker opens his mouth with a little thought.
"Ray, are the whores who escaped Mejougo asking what they're going to do now?
"No, after covering in a skirmish with Jaya, I came right here..."
Listening to Ray, Dusker thinks a little… Eventually, he opens his mouth.
'Ray, those whores, but are you sure there's no place to go?
"That's all the numbers, so probably. The possibility would be to stay in Mejougo, but there would be more people who don't want it."
Mejougo is a place where whores were held all they wanted by a man they didn't like regardless of their will.
None of those who wanted to remain in such a memorable place were supposed to be in the minority, although they did not say they had none.
'Hmm, then... Ray, I'm sorry, but I need another job. Protect that whore and the resistance over here.'
"Is that okay? If that happens, we're going to stick our necks in the internal affairs of the country of Labourina, and we're going to get complaints from the other side."
'What are you talking about? They tried to take a woman from Gilm, didn't they? I could have prevented it then, but that wasn't necessarily the first. Maybe there's a good chance they're taking us before we figure it out'
The word is not something Ray can deny either.
But Ray also understood that the words that came out of Dusker's mouth would not be the real aim.
"I mean, is it evidence consolidation?
'There's that too. Besides, we might be able to get some good people around the corner. You don't have to imitate your hands here.'
Is that your destiny?
I think so, Ray, but there's still something subtly unconvincing about it.
Considering only this one case, the resistance seems to have all the competent people.
In fact, it's an undeniable fact from Ray, who has had contact with Sura, who now heads the resistance.
But... the Resistance has already been crushed by the Titans and is never superior in the sense of pure force.
Besides, no matter how much Dusker secures the resistance, it would be subtle if he were to leave the country of Labourina, where he was born and raised, and ask Gilm... No, if anyone were to come to the kingdom of Mireana.
It was Ray's question as to what to do by selling favors to such opponents.
Even if I'm wrong, I lend a hand to the resistance because the whores are pathetic...... and I'm pretty sure that wasn't the only reason.
Of course that's not because Dusker thinks it doesn't matter what happens to whores.
Dusker himself will undoubtedly pity the whores, but Dusker is now only in the position of lord.
Because of that position, it was an unmistakable fact that I was no longer able to judge things solely by my emotions.
(Then I'm sure there's something else besides that... what?
To dispel that doubt, Ray asks frankly.
"What is the purpose?
'That's a talent.... As we know, additional construction is currently under way in the Guild. But just this big construction, no matter what kind of talent you have, you just have to. Of course if someone doesn't want to come to Gilm and wants to go home, I won't say I can't.'
"I mean, if someone wanted to go home, would it take the form of breaking up on the way?
'As for this one, either is fine. You can break up on the spot, or you can save money in the guild and then go home to your own hometown'
I guess it's a decision to make if you try to be a dusker, and you can bring some number of people to the guild, that's fine.
Ray, who heard it, eventually nodded.
All the women protected by the resistance are Jaya victims.
More than that, I have a desire to do something if I can, but if I still decide to go home myself, Ray isn't going to say anything to it.
"Okay. I will work with the Resistance over here and also pass on suggestions from Dear Dusker. And one more thing...... lutas"
In Ray's words, Lutus, whose name was called, appears.
On the other side of the pair of orbs, Dusker gives a strange look to the face of the first person he sees.
Dusker deserved to be called the strong side, but such a strange look made me feel somewhere humorous.
"Nice to meet you, Dusker Larks Borderline Uncle. I'm Lutus, and I'm currently protected by Ray."
"Give Ray protection? I mean, for some reason. '
If Lutus is the average person in the area, you don't have to bother to imitate what Ray would protect.
Lutus laughs at words from such judgment.
Naturally that laugh is not something that is happy or funny and floating from the bottom of my mind either, but from the calculation that, as usual, it would not be more offensive to them.
"Yes, actually, I am the son of the one who currently leads Jaya, even if it looks like this."
"Ugh."
To Lutus' words, Dusker groans briefly.
Most importantly, the expression, unlike the previous one, pointed a gaze at the bottom of the mind of a person named Lutus who was in front of him - precisely in front of a pair of orbs.
To the gaze of such a Dusker, Lutus breathes for a moment.
I was good at making expressions, Lutus, but I guess that's all the eye power I felt from Dusker's gaze.
Still, it was for a moment that they swallowed me, because I was a lutus?
"Using the expression son of the one who leads is not a successor," he said?
"Yep. There are many other kids who are seen as candidates for succession, besides me.... but in my case, I wasn't expecting that much, and I can't go back to being a successor anymore than working with Ray against Jaya."
"Why are you imitating that? From your standpoint, isn't it fatal to betray Jaya? If it's true that the jar was truncated by the country, I guess I should say that I was precisely out of the picture. '
"It's a big part of the way my father did it that you thought you couldn't keep up anymore. In fact, this is how they're cut off by the country."
To the words of Lutus, Dusker nods small.
In the first place, the act of forcibly taking a woman away from another country is unscrupulous in itself - although there was a superficial face called Jaya.
Until now, thanks to the black crystal and the slave necklace, it has never been a huge fuss, but its black crystal has already been destroyed by Ray and the women are free...... all the time, even the trump card for the Labourina nation of giants has been rampant.
But the runaway giant has already been wiped out by the hands of the Rays.
If we put it on Jaya, we need to deal with the army of the Labourina country… and the country itself.
Regardless of the state of Labourina, Jaya is very likely to be hostile to the existence of the Kingdom of Mireana. Without it or the giant of the trump card, yes.
The people of the country of Labourina are trying to make up a presence called Jaya as a common enemy with the Kingdom of Mireana, but Ray has already reported to Dusker about it.
Above and beyond that, measures - naive to call them - will surely fail.
If so, then there is no doubt that the best choice as it stands is to side with the Rays.
Dusker takes a firm hold of the gaze that can be directed with such meaning.
Exchange of sights, exchanged between men and men.
Don't let those two get in the way, everyone on the spot shuts their mouths...... eventually, Dusker opens his mouth to break the silence.
"Okay, let's protect you here."
Yes, I tell you in a heavy tone.
Lutus smiled small when he was able to pull out the words.
If Dusker had told me here that he didn't need lutus, there would have been only one place in the afterlife for the lutus...... and the escorts.
Even if it could have been avoided, Lutus was relieved that his life was worth dying for.
