'Hmm, I see. So far, so good? But... it's not like this one has a budget. Save a little more. "
"Wouldn't it be better to negotiate to save money and be told that they would end up selling crude goods, let alone stopping the deal itself?
In a pair of orbs illuminated by the burning in front of a magic tent, Dusker looks reluctantly at the other spokesperson's marina.
As if it were a mountain if dust also builds up, if you earned a little travel time, it would definitely shorten the time to arrive in the Guild for quite some time.
Because we know that, Dusker can't get out strong either.
'But as I was saying, even here, we don't have that much room on the budget. Especially now, there is also a huge expense of leaving with the additional construction. You know that's a marina, right?
"Right. Expenses would be huge... but there would be a lot of income coming in, wouldn't there?
Pan, and. The sound of fire bouncing around in the fire.
Dusker remains silent on the other side of the pair of orbs as bugs are heard from all over.
"Oh, what's wrong? Was there something wrong with what I was saying?
"Guru."
To Marina's words, Dusker roars briefly.
I want to say something back. But if you say something back on this occasion, it will come back tripled or quadrupled.
Because I know that, I guess Dusker could only roar.
The marina opens her mouth again as she grins at how such a dusker looks.
"Anyway, that's why we're returning to Gilm collecting carriages and horses. If we can keep collecting them together, maybe we'll get there sooner than planned. But if we get some attitude, we'll be back in the Guild."
'Oh, I'm going to.... As for this one, I want you back as soon as you can. You still can't hire an escort adventurer?
"I wonder if I can do this while I'm in Labourina. In the first place, basically, adventurers in this country don't even stand up that well. You should leave the country and hire armed escorts in other cities and villages."
'As for that, Marina would know more about adventurers than I do. If so, judge me that way.'
"Yeah. Let me do that.... So how long will it be before you rendezvous with a bunch of envoys that you're coming from Gilm, you know?
'You don't get it. They don't have a handy pair of orbs. I just left a lot earlier than you guys, and the carriage is specially made. It should be a lot faster than normal... but given the distance to Labourina,'
If you travel by carriage normally, from Gilm to Rossi, the capital of the country of Labourina, it's roughly a month away.
And it's been little time since the Rays came to Labourina State until today.
Given that, if Ray and the others had progressed at this rate, it would have been a long time before they would have encountered the mission.
No matter how many carriages and horses on the mission were specially made, it should not have been possible to join them immediately.
"I guess so. I'll be in touch with you once I get back with the mission. We'll need to exchange information with each other."
"Do that for me."
As such, Dusker and Marina… Others, while providing various information, use the pair of orbs in about thirty minutes to end the communication.
Around, the quiet atmosphere returned again… not translated.
"Somebody stay away from me"
A grunting ray turns his gaze toward the street.
It was a summer sky with no clouds during the day, but now there are some clouds out there, hiding the moon.
Even in such a situation, it would still be from its high physical ability and… previous experience that Ray noticed signs of those approaching him.
If Seto were here, he probably would have noticed a closer presence sooner, but Hate and Seto are inside the captain's office on the sandship.
So far, no one has come in there with a strange idea, but I still needed to leave someone in the captain's office just in case.
"I wonder who.... Well, it's coming up on a night like this, so I guess there's something about it."
With the expectation that Vihela could be just a little bit of a battle, whine.
The others prepare for battle in such a way as a first attempt.
It was Ray's expectation that he would not be like a bandit because there was one sign that he was getting closer and there was no way he was laying his people down around him.
(Jaya's assassin who has been following Lutus...... is there any chance?
It was Ray, who turned his gaze for a moment toward the sandy ship where Lutus was sleeping, but eventually the slightly leaking moonlight would give him a firm grasp of who was approaching him.
But as soon as he sees those approaching him, Ray's guard will be lifted.
Of course, I'm not completely off guard, but I'm on minimum alert.
Neither did those who approached me think that I would not be alerted because someone like myself would come all the way here on a night like this... etc.
Hold your feet slightly apart and open your mouth.
"Excuse me, can I have a word?
The voice is still that of a young man.
However, that soft voice seemed to Ray as if it meant growing up well.
To keep Ray from being insulted beyond being the only man in this line, it was necessary for Ray to speak to the man on his behalf.
"What's up? If it's the street, it's not here, it's where you came from."
"Yeah, of course I know. But I need to talk to you, not the streets. Do you mind if we get a little closer than that? This is how I was able to meet Ray and the others around the corner, so I want to see his face and talk to him."
"... heh"
Even though he didn't even name it, Ray narrows his eyes slightly to what his name came up with.
Most importantly, the last few days we've been out on a sand boat every night and using it instead of a lodging, and most importantly, nearly a thousand women... it's also a group of people dressed as hookers moving around.
There is no way such a group could be rumored.
In that sense, it was slower for a man like this to come into contact than Ray thought.
The day after the first sand boarding, the merchant was already in contact.
However, that was definitely only those who saw the sand boarding and thought it would be in their own interest to come into contact with the Rays on the spot, and not those who were sent by some organization like the one in front of them...
"So, what do you think? Of course, I'm not saying it's just that. We have some souvenirs for you."
"Souvenirs, huh? Well, if that's what you're going to say, I'm not going to say no especially over here.... but let me warn you, it's better for you not to think strangely?
When he releases his killing temper only slightly for a moment, the man blunts his feet as they approach those who are burning.
Still, you can't stop a man's legs because you understand that you won't be harmed if you don't act detrimentally to the Rays?
Eventually, while walking slightly slower, the man shows up near the Rays... within the lights of the bonfire.
Are you in your mid-twenties? I have a face that seems soft, but now I see a slight nervousness.
Needless to say, the reason I'm nervous is the killing spirit that Ray unleashed... but Ray didn't seem to care about it at all and told me so.
The man also opens his mouth like he panicked, knowing full well that he is suspicious.
"Also, of course. There is no such thing as hostility here. I just wanted to help you."
"To our part, you know. Specifically?
"Carriages and horses. And food and clothes… we can also provide escorts if you want."
"... what?
The man's words were a completely unexpected substitute for Ray as well.
That's why Ray, who was watching the man, stopped moving for a moment.
What the man said was undoubtedly what the Rays are craving and there is no mistake.
In fact, the Rays thought so, trying to buy them in the cities and villages they would be stopping by.
The reason why we don't have it in one village or city is because Ray wanted more than the supplies available in one village or city.
But the man in front of him told me that he would prepare it.
Instead of Ray surprised by the man's words, Marina asks the man.
"Are you a human being in the country of Labourina? I don't know what to say, but I don't think we can have the supplies we want for a small country like Labourina."
To be precise, that degree would be readily available if the country were to be serious.
But that's only because it's a country, and it's not something that the Chamber of Commerce can readily prepare.
No, there may be chambers of commerce that we can prepare if we work hard, but I don't even think the chamber will imitate what is not in our interest.
So I really didn't think the Chamber of Commerce of the Labourina Nation would lend a hand to the Rays.
(Above all, all the main chambers of commerce in the country of Labourina should have had a strong influence by Jaya. When that happens, to us who are hostile to Jaya... no, Jaya beats us and even the upper echelons of the country try to cut off Jaya... I see)
Quickly summing up her thoughts in her head, Marina looks at the man with her usual grin.
... Even with the usual grin, that's just the usual grin for Marina.
I mean, it makes a woman's luster feel intense, such a grin.
Neither can a man be calm with such a grin pointed at him.
The moonlight pouring out of the gap of the clouds and the figure of the marina illuminated by the burning fire was what made the woman feel so intensely that there was no more.
of that hand… I can manage to make the so-called man who has strong resistance to honey traps and colour tricks, that the luster of a marina woman is not something that can be easily dealt with, but that she is about to be blinded by the beauty of the marina.
I am here on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.
This deal must succeed at all costs. Think about it.
Take a small, deep breath, calm down and open your tease mouth.
"Yes, I am from the Zorge Chamber of Commerce in the country of Labourina, called Gimekala"
"Alas, it's not one of the major chambers of commerce in the country of Labourina. He was pretty involved in one of Mejougo's cases, but I was wondering if he could talk to us like this."
The marina asks the gimechanical camera in front of us, without hiding anything, that we are a group that has escaped from Mejougo... and that we are a group hostile to Jaya.
Because that's how we understood that we were more knowledgeable about who we were than we had ever been in contact with.
"Yes, of course. My actions are directed by the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Heh. What can I do to make that happen?"
"Right. Let me be honest with you, you're not going to be on a sinking ship?"
In a nutshell, the marina… and others also understand why the gimmecameras have come into contact with themselves in this way.
"I mean, take Jaya... No, in this case, could it be the Labourina country? You think I'm gonna abandon you? Is that what this is about?
"I was wondering if abandoning it was a little bad for people to hear. Seeking better conditions and opening up new business opportunities, if you describe it that way."
Ray, who was listening to the two of them, turns to the words of such a giddy camera.
"We've been working with Jaya and we've done whatever we want, but if we think we're in danger, do we cut our hands off? To be honest, I don't trust people like you."
"That's a misunderstanding. Indeed, we... No, the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce has also made deals with Jaya. But it doesn't mean I was working with Jaya. That was just a commercial deal."
"Maybe so, but after understanding what Jaya was doing, isn't it true he was helping? If you cooperate with us like that and we find out we're the only ones trying to escape ruin... what do you think of the people who were in Mejougo?
With that said, Ray turns his gaze to a sandy ship with clear clouds and the moonlight illuminating.
Gimekala said nothing to Ray's words... only the bug squeal and the sound of the burning fire were echoing around him.
