"How did you know it was Tessio?

Mr. Noela listens.

If you try from Noela, who essentially divides the Bandit Guild, you may not be able to believe that Tesio, the master of the Merchant Guild, who sometimes collaborates in business these days, is behind the scenes.

"Mr. Noela. I just want you to remind me.

"What?

It was at the meeting.

"I can't let Rio, the escort, keep the sword at the meeting. Make a commotion and give me the first voice when Solozzo, the mercenary guild, takes his seat."

"Oh, you're a rumor."

"After that."

"I didn't expect a sarcastically great sage to come looking at Master Tool, did I? Like it's nothing unnatural?

Sure, I'm not the same air as the Ments I was in the meeting with.

They are peaceful Japanese with representatives of illegal guilds in the underground slums.

If there have been rumors for a long time, I can't help but think of him as a sage from the heterogeneous air.

It's just that the statement in question comes before it.

"It's before the Great Sage came. What did Solozzo say?

Mr. Noela thinks a little.

"Ah."

Mr. Noela noticed.

I heard as if Millie was upset.

"What? What did you say?

Noela answers in a low voice.

"Paulie caught a cold... so I was wondering if the wise Tool had come"

Everyone peeking at Millie who was on the spot seemed to notice and was silent.

I guess I'm putting my thoughts around what can be deduced from it further.

I just seem to know that Millie doesn't know what she is either.

"Huh? What? I don't know."

"How does Solozzo know Mr. Paulie caught a cold?

"Nha...... ah"

I mean, it is.

"When did Mr. Noela learn that Mr. Paulie had caught a cold?

"Not long before I went to the meeting. I heard from his men."

"Mr. Paulie must be connected to Solozzo."

He's a thin edge for Leah and Deet.

I don't even know my face, but Millie and Noela are bandit guilders.

Mr. Noela, who looked serious, heard.

"But then the assassination attempt is not in Solozzo? Why Tessio?

Mr. Noela may well have a question.

"There's no evidence of Tessio... but that's how the situation tells the story"

"Situation?"

"Yeah. I felt uncomfortable when Solozzo said something about Mr. Paulie's cold. Though I didn't think there was a clear betrayal like now."

Everyone is listening.

"But if Solozzo was talking about Mr. Paulie, Tessio told me to say the requirements quickly if you called the meeting. We were just talking to Nico."

Deet nods.

"I see. But that's weak enough to say circumstantial evidence."

I know there's a good way at a time like this.

"Sizuk!

"Yes!"

I get a good reply from my upper body armor and when I do, I slime and get on the table.

"Geez."

Leah looks at my naked upper body and covers her eyes with both hands.

"Look at Sizuk, not this way"

Sizku reshaped with Gnugnu to shape the old man. It's Thesio.

Thesio, whose shizku has changed, reproduces his story at the meeting.

◆ ◆ ◆

Sizuk's reproduction is over.

Deet shrugged.

"I see. You've heard a lot about this guy named Tessio, Solozzo."

"It is. I didn't think Solozzo would ever retreat about hemp water either. But as soon as Tessio had a business proposition for the mall, he left."

"Maybe the Mercenary Alliance is receiving financial assistance from the Merchant Alliance."

Deet's remarks seemed plausible.

Mercenary guild's main business is to forcefully mediate mercenaries to adventurers, but they have an overwhelmingly small margin of interest compared to commerce on top of being wary.

Mercenary guilds are not doing well in business either.

It would not be strange if the mercenary guild received financial assistance from the merchant guild in the form of almost debt.

Mr. Noela put a cobble on his jaw.

"Then mercenary guild hemp water sales, a little to bandit guild..."

"All, maybe the Merchant Guild is working on it. Maybe the Merchant Alliance is profiting from the shadows by letting the Mercenary Alliance do dangerous business."

Assuming that's true, I guess the mercenary guild is like what we call a front company in Japan for the merchant guild.

"And. Mr. Noela."

"Yes."

"The members of the meeting said they wanted to hear about the sage, didn't they? Who exactly?

"Through the negotiators of the Merchant Guild, Tessio says from day to day"

I put a beat aside and said:

"It was Tessio who painted the assassination attempt. Solozzo set the route for us to the Adventurers Guild by holding a meeting and exchanging the ruling districts, causing Paulie to catch a cold (...) and trying to kill Noela and me, the sage."

Leah looks anxious.

"What about the Adventurer Alliance?

"If the Adventurer Guild were enemies, Mr. Noela and I would have no life by now."

Deet stops Millie from getting up again and trying to get somewhere.

"Let go!

"Where are you going?

"Paulie's place!

I'll break it in.

"Maybe there's a reason. Now you just need to be vigilant, put on surveillance and put it down."

Mr Noela also said.

"Right. Instead of aggressively betraying me, they must have told me to take a break from my weakness that day. If I hadn't, I might have been the only one dead."

I think you're right. But Millie's anger still doesn't subside.

"Then let me puke about who told me to!

"No, I don't think very much because of Tessio's readiness that he came out and said it. Are you lending me money in the basement, or are you making me tell my sister in a liquor store or a whorehouse? Besides, they'll be passing mercenary guilds."

"Ugh."

"Maybe he doesn't even have a sense of betrayal. No, maybe you do. I knew the mercenary guild caught a cold."

Clearly relieved air flows from Millie and Mr. Noela.

I don't really know if I'm conscious, but I'm a fellow guild, and I guess I'm happier that I'm unconscious.

That's why I dared say so.

"But I think the assassin was arranged directly by Tessio. I was fast on the run. I think he was willing to impersonate the mercenary guild without putting out his own shadow, whether he failed or succeeded. So Millie punches into a mercenary guild and tells me she doesn't know, and it's Tessio who laughs behind it. He's going to take advantage of the fishermen, take control of the underground guild, take away the mall's business, too."

"Nha! Then I'm going to the Merchant Guild!

"There's no clear evidence of punching into the Merchant Guild. This one's gonna be the bad guy."

"Nha!

Deet alone is becoming irrepressible. I also add Leah to Millie.

Mr. Noela bowed her head to me.

"Thank you. I see what Tessio's after. What would have happened if Master Tool hadn't been here?

"No, well. I happened to be free, and I just followed him because he seemed interesting."

"I really am a benefactor of my life. But I don't know what to do now... Dear Tool..."

I'm a little happy to be counted on, but Mr. Noela is a woman in the clerical way.

My predecessors, who were said to be legendary big bandits, could have been familiar with these things as well.

But seeing as Millie's rear and Deet are likely to peel off and go rambling, it seems we still have to grow again.

"If the Adventurer Guild, which is also the public sector, isn't on the other side, it's still okay. Be careful for the moment, and get along with the Merchant Guild with a smile. We have to make the mall a success."

"Right. But that's not all..."

Of course, that's not all I'm going to do.

"I have a good hand. Go talk to Ellie and Mr. Bean at the Full Brem Chamber of Commerce."
