"- Ugh, it's Zed's Patimon!

The moment we met face to face, the key pick looked at Marion and raised such a voice.

"- Ha, ha. Patimon, don't say it."

Marion laughs off. It doesn't look particularly disturbing.

"This is amazing. I'm not talking about a similar level. If it's just the way it looks, it's Zed himself."

From the eyes of a code that knows Zed well, the look doesn't seem to suck.

But I'm talking about "if it's just the way you look", as I said in person.

What Keypick said, even if it's rude, isn't a mistake.

The atmosphere doesn't look alike.

I think so, too.

And Marion himself knows it.

"This would be perfect as an understudy"

Thus, from the moment of the face-to-face meeting, the "Operation to do something with Zed's proxy" was finalized.

Until now, it has only been this one finalisation.

But if the client admitted it, this would have convinced him, by mutual agreement, of the general operation.

We also met at noon, in a private room in the back of the diner.

At night, we gather in the same room again, and from now on, a meeting runs in with the cords and the others.

"Pah looks similar, but something like this, the atmosphere is completely different..."

Keypick looks at Marion in Zed with a difficult face as he comes close or slightly away.

The other two had a "substitute" explanation from Hydra.

This is the first time I've seen her like that.

There will be no need to be surprised.

Even I heard rumors like "I can do that," because I was surprised.

"Well, in the end, it's someone else."

Marion, who looks like Zed from the start, relaxed and replied to a key pick that sees so many holes at great close range.

It is certainly a peaceful response that does not seem Zed.

"Honestly, I'm pretty surprised at that dog over there, but you totally missed the time to touch it."

She reaches out and tries to touch the dog.

"Oh, don't touch it"

Hydra just stopped.

"Huh? You chew? If you get bitten by this size, you won't find it stylish."

Yeah.

You're gonna lose a whole hand, aren't you? How big is it?

Well, I don't think Sirocarolo would go that far if he wasn't an enemy, because he's not a beast.

"I'm going to bite you. I'm going to bite you."

"What!? Until I cut a thousand without just chewing!?

You just won't.

What does Hydra think of Sirocarolo?

…………

... Huh?

You won't, will you?

Why is Shiroka Kellogg staring at the key pick?

What are you thinking with such serious eyes?

Stop looking me in the eye just saying I'm not kidding.... Really, don't. You think I'll cut a thousand bites?

"Why are you bringing such a lousy dog?!? If you had such a brilliant hairy hair, you'd touch it!

I know how that feels. I want to touch it, too.

But Silocarolo isn't a dog in the first place, and even if he is, he's not gathered to talk about dogs.

"Fair enough. The dog is smart, so there's no problem. You have to try to touch it."

And Marion says in a tone that is uninsurable to Zed and others.

By the way, Marion tells us he won't show his face, and he won't even name it.

As a "disguise professional," I guess I still don't want to show my true nature.

If you're an outsider, it's a shame.

I'm equally deluded by disguising myself as a "maid of honor," so there's no way I don't know how that feels.

"I'll take care of my tone, my tricks, and the guidance around it. It's better than not even a burning blade, right?

Marion, who uses "morphological simulation (replica)" and "simulates" her voice to something close to Zed, has also changed her language slightly so that her nature can be seen by men.

This is just like me.

Right? You want to delude everything as much as possible.

"Keys, I'll take care of Zed's finish (...). We'll talk about the operation."

"Okay. So, Patsy Zed, shall we talk slowly in the next room? It's narrow here."

Right.

This private room, which is not originally very large, probably about four people, is just fine.

And now there's code and key picks, me, Hydra, Cellier and Marion, and even Shiroka Kellogg.

It is quite dense.

"Hey, don't be rude. The zet is a disguise, not a patchmon. You've come all this way for us."

"No, no, it's fine, it's fine."

It's a key pick code, but Patimon called Marion back brightly.

"You guys have a deep relationship with Zed, don't you? Then I can understand how hard it is to call me Zed. You're reluctant to even call me emotionally, aren't you?

But even tentatively, it's easier to call me Patsy Zed. That's fine. "

"Really?... I'm sorry. It'll help if you say so."

"Don't worry about it. We're not amateurs enough to rub it with our clients."

Yeah......

I'm still not familiar with Marion, but maybe she's not a complete amateur, either.

You think you've done some work so far and have had a lot of experience?

Maybe that's the type.

- This is how Marion, Pachizette, left the room with the key pick.

From there, it quickly became a concrete operational meeting.

Hydra also said that the code also wants to move the story as soon as possible.

"I have information on the carriage. There are two things that seem affordable."

The codes also seemed to be gathering information for the operation, setting out prey to be targeted.

Yeah, that's all we could talk about.

What to aim for.

What kind of carriage do you aim for?

If I didn't know this, I couldn't stand an operation that went in.

The missing information was provided by the code.

"One is a carriage travelling down the street towards the Great Empire. It's a big company of the Ellio Chamber of Commerce that runs shops in the Great Empire."

Grand Merchants...... you say?

"The other is the Beckenberg child's Zenith Chamber of Commerce carriage, coming from the Great Empire side here to Crozheit. This is a rabbit for us."

Rabbit.

A delicious opponent who can hunt affordably, I guess that means.

From Zed, who is making a name for himself in Crozheit, I guess that means the most effective opponent if you give him a name.

- If we're just gonna show Zed he's alive, the latter should be fine.

If the carriage raid is to be accomplished easily and safely, I have never crossed it.

... and I think.

"What's the Big Merchants? What's the exact scale?

The problem is, this story means Hydra holds the lead.

Because I'm so scared about this case of attacking a carriage...

"There are five large carriages. They will carry crops, weapons, groceries, booze, medicines, and possibly jewellery. The Ellio Chamber of Commerce is a merchant made of gemstones.

So naturally... "

"Lots of escorts, too."

Yeah.

You must be hitting the fabric stone that it will never be taken away.

That's why we're forming a merchant squad and carrying loads of money.

And so, I guess if you can take it away, you'll make a lot of money.

If I can take it.

... All I'm saying is if you're serious about me, you can earn it by working for real...

- No, don't think about it.

I've already decided to do it.

This kind of non-positive thinking can cause movement to slow down at times of need.

I'm certainly an amateur, but that doesn't mean I'm allowed to do amateur work.

Rather, it is because I am an amateur that I should work with all my temper.

"What's the size of the escort? You got all the famous spots?

"Fourteen in all. Half is an escort to the Chamber of Commerce, formerly a two-star veteran adventurer. The other half is Snow Bear Claws, a two-star team of active adventurers. Pretty strong."

Fourteen.

And are there just two-star class adventurers?

Honestly, just because you're a country guy, I've never seen you say a big commercial squad, so I can't tell if you've got a lot of escorts.

And a two-star adventurer should be strong. There's no way I'm weak.

... Well, I don't know much about that either.

"How many can I use this one?

"About thirty people. By the way, every single one of you isn't very strong."

"But there are thirty of them, right? Then you'll be fine."

Huh?

Isn't that okay?

"The Great Merchant Corps of its Eluo Chamber of Commerce. Let's aim."

... Huh?

You've made up your mind to go after him?

You don't talk to us, you make up your mind?
