Well, let's just say I change my mind and do my job.

"Deadly Snake" in the West End is where the Twelve clans rooted their family buildings.

Originally, many people migrated from the twelve clan tribes in the West End.

Most people are hostages in the name of strengthening relationships.

Well, for that reason, there are many of the twelve clans in the West End.

I hear you live in a different building for each tribe, but go around all those twelve buildings?

thought, but immediately dismissed.

Because that's how you could possibly be found in 'Deadly Snake' while you're looking.

If so, what will you do?

I was wondering what the problem was.

The door was knocked.

"Master Lewie. I brought you some tea. '

Is this Mr. Arneb's voice?

Oh, yeah. Mr. Arneb was a former chief of the twelve clans, so why don't you ask him first?

"Arneb."

"Yes. What is it?

Mr. Arneb puts a tea bowl next to me and looks at me.

"What are the twelve clans living in the West End doing?

"Yes. Right. I am employed as a civilian, a martial officer, or a servant of this Hall. Most of them."

"Most of them?

"The trouble is, some of them don't like being hired, and they're doing whatever they want in this city."

"Cheng Cheng"

Should we think those people formed The Deadly Snake?

No, with the information still lacking, is it premature to conclude so?

"... for once, you should go to the West End"

Do you want to go and take a good look at the reasons for the inspection? Or maybe I'll go with patience.

"What? Did you say something?

"No, it's nothing."

I didn't seem to hear it because I was whispering.

To deceive. I smiled.

"Oh, really?"

Look at my face, Mr. Arneb blushing.

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, but I was wondering if you could call Bashid."

"Do you have a bashid? Ok. Wait a minute."

Mr. Arneb thanked him and left the room.

He said he was waiting for tea.

The door was knocked.

"Master Lewie. We've brought Bashid. '

"Come on in."

When I said that, Mr. Arneb opened the door.

Mr. Arneb went in first, then Arakune came in.

Short haired brunette. Six red eyes to the forehead. Whether it matched the color of the hair or the clothes I was wearing were also uniform in black.

It was also covered with a thin veil on the mouth.

Fine, a big raised breast. Thin hips. The buttocks part also exists, but the lower body is almost spider shaped, so I won't say it because it's hard to describe.

This Bashid was chosen by the Arakune tribe to serve as a roundup for the people sent to this city.

"I heard you called?

"Oh, before that"

I see Arneb. [M]

Taking that gaze, Arneb graciously left the room.

I opened my mouth after Arneb dropped Kara out of the room.

"Will you investigate the lives of the twelve families living in the West End?"

"Is it an investigation? Okay."

"Please. Well, you don't have to be impossible or impotent"

"So there's no point in investigating?

"No, it makes sense for Bashid to act like that."

"Understood."

Bashid said so, and left the room in a gracious manner.

Steady, Mr. Swillen is so chatty, how come his compatriot Bashid doesn't talk much?

Is it gender?

Well, now I hope the information-gathering goes well.

I'm looking into the West End of Bashid, so let's face the team for now until we get some information.

And if you want me to act on the information I've got, I'll do it.

So let's get some sleep until nightfall.

There's nothing I can call work today, so I can get some sleep. Ha.

And don't laugh, do you want to go to the private room for now?

He left the office and said he was headed to the private room.

"Master Lewie."

Sophie was there when I looked back because I was called out.

"Have you finished your work today?

"Oh, yes, I am."

Even when it comes to work, because you just push the authorization hanko on the paperwork, or if you don't have the paperwork in the morning, there are often days when you don't have a job all day.

In that case, I always rest in my private room.

"Well, now you're handcuffed"

I nodded.

"Well, I need to talk to you about something."

Hmm. This seems pretty important.

Well, let's go to my private room.

"Okay."

I'm going to the private room with Sophie.

Enter the private room and I will sit on the couch.

I thought Sophie was going to sit down too, but for some reason I was preparing tea.

"Why are you preparing tea?

"We're going to talk, so we need to do this."

"Even though it's nothing good. Besides, I'll make you some tea."

"You shouldn't. Do not take my work."

That said, I couldn't say anything.

Sophie laid tea on me, took my share of tea, and sat face to face with me.

Once I moistened my throat with tea, I was ready to talk.

"So, what's talking about?

When I asked, Sophie looked off. [M]

He seemed to say it several times, but you made up your mind, look at me.

Actually, it's about my daughter.

"About Tina? Is there a problem?

I don't think my work attitude is particularly problematic.

"There's been a verse here lately that's been out somewhere at night."

"Buh."

I almost blew out tea.

Oh, take it easy. Just saying verse doesn't seem to make sense yet that we're secretly on the loose team.

"What makes you think that?

Hey, I think it went away, but it'll be fine.

"I was working with her today, and she smelled a little smoke from her hair."

Yeah, someone was smoking in that bar over there, so I guess that smell shifted.

"That kid doesn't smoke, and his colleagues don't have anyone to smoke. So I was wondering why she smelled of tobacco from her hair, and I think she probably went somewhere where she could smoke."

"... I'm guessing it's not definitive yet"

"Yes, because I don't know what time I went to that smoking place."

"Right."

You're still safe. Now that I have asked for a job, it would be fine to say that I went to a place where the smell of tobacco smelled at that time.

"It's gonna be okay."

"Say?

"Before I worked with Sophie, I got a little delivery, so I went to a place where I smelled like tobacco."

"Oh, really? ……

After hearing my words, Sophie sighed in relief.

All right, now you believe it.

"... Actually, I was anxious."

"Anxiety?"

"As you know, we don't have husbands. So I thought my daughter had gone the wrong way."

"That's not true."

"I often say that a child without a single parent is distorted."

"As, well, maybe so"

Tina, at all, I don't think so.

"So Master Lewie"

"What?

"Will you mind if I do a little bit about my daughter?

"Ha ha, that's so cheap for you"

I slapped my chest.

Honestly, I can't do a lot without Tina.

Sophie heard it and smiled.
