Episode Two Eight: Who's the Negotiator?

After gathering intelligence with Alice, he came into contact with someone named a moderate associate.

The next day. When the sun was at its peak, when me and Alice and three of Sophia were waiting in front of the church, a man named Anja's use appeared.

A muscular man in his mid-twenties or so, he carries a sword on his hips. Soldier - No, if their Lord is a moderate nobleman, he may be a knight in abbreviated gear.

"Are you sure you're the merchants that Master Anya was talking about?

"Oh. I made a promise on the back street last night"

Take confirmation using information that we only know about each other and that is not obvious.

"Sounds definitely right. But to a man with a neutral appearance, I heard he was a beautiful elf...... by" tulle "you mean that cute little lady?

"Yes, but... is there a problem?

"No, I thought they were guards or something."

"Oh, you know..."

So if you're alone, did you talk about it? Convinced.

But... Sophia's not an eye for those escorts, so she's a fighter... so let's just keep quiet.

I guess Sophia knows that, too. "Sophia's harmless, isn't she?" He smiles all the time. I was wearing a cat. I was gently twisted to the side.

"So you're letting me meet a friendly aristocrat against Liselheim?

"Oh, they tell me to show you to the mansion"

"... Mansion?

"It's our Lord's mansion... but we shouldn't give each other too much of an identity, should we? Ask me more directly."

"That's... right"

Even this way, I don't want to name them at a time when I'm not sure if they're enemies or allies.

"If that's what you decide, I'll show you. There's a carriage right there, follow me."

The man says it's quick or he flips and starts walking in front of us.

Expose our defenseless backs to those of us who are still too alert. Are you not on guard or are you just so stiff again...

"Hey, Sophia?

Whisper to Sophia with the nuance of what she thought of her earlier interaction.

"I don't think I'm throwing up. He just seems to have been asked to show Sophia and the others around."

"Oh well. Don't worry about it, will you?

Somehow it catches on, but I don't have a choice which way to get here and go home. We followed the man's guide into the carriage - to the mansion where the Lord is.

Arrived inside a large gate. It was in front of a mansion on a huge property.

"I'm going to show you inside the mansion. Follow me."

Again the man walked out to take the lead. While I say guide, I feel a little thrown - I can't believe I'm chasing that back.

"It's a big mansion, but is it here with its lord?

"That's right. Even so, it's like a separate house."

"This is a separate house......"

Architectural techniques are the traditional thing, but they are comparable in size to the Granchez family mansion. My husband with a large mansion as a separate house not so long ago.

Maybe we suddenly pulled a clam. While thinking that way, I followed him and walked straight into the mansion.

After depositing the sword that Alice and I had at the entrance, I was taken to the dining room and the cafeteria.

Room furnished with good conditioning, although not necessarily comparable to the Mullet mansion. The walls are decorated with embroidered flags with crossing swords, the crest of the Zaccanian Empire.

"I'm calling the Lord now. I'll keep the maid out, so if you need anything, let me know."

"Okay. I'll keep you waiting."

We see a man walking away, and we sit side by side in the lower seat. Not so much, and a maid-dressed girl brought sweets and drinks. He's a much younger, much cuter maid than me, maybe Sophia.

"Welcome aboard, sir. It is a Zaccanian specialty rusk and royal milk tea. Enjoy."

The maid arranges the tea sets on her desk in a refined move. But along the way, the maid looked at my face and said, "... is that it?" and put on his little neck.

"... is something on my face?

"And I beg your pardon. We'll be waiting in the corner of the room, so don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything"

Quick as I can tell, the maid fled to the corner of the room.

"... what was it?

Ask Sophia and Alice, who are next door.

"I didn't feel hostile. I'm surprised."

"Do you know him or something when he does? No, but..."

By previous life standards, it would not be strange to be known to humans in other countries if they were as well known as the Granchez family. But the transmission of information in this world is slow, and there is no such thing as photography.

I've been thinking so much about people who know me, they should be in the Zaccanian Empire... something caught me by accident. When I was thinking about something, Alice pulled my sleeve.

It's the maid.

"Did you notice anything?

"Yeah. Could it be... she's my sister from a previous life?

"That's you"

"Then the girl destined to be the Sisters"

"That's how you stop trying to add more sisters to every thing you do"

Turn your gaze toward the treat on your desk as you scratch Alice's mess. Double-baked bread with sugar-covered silo. He said Lux, but it doesn't look so tasty.

Nevertheless, the traditional treats in Liselheim are similar. Whether it's been able to be a treat for the city of Mullet, it's not like they served cheap food.

It's rude not to get your hands on it, and I wouldn't dare to try it - the hand I reached out to was struck down by Sophia.

"... Sophia?

"Both of you, don't eat sweets"

If you look at it, Sophia's got something on her face. And in his hand, there is only one bite of a scuffed rusk. - Oh, no way!

Sophia's fingertips blocked my mouth from screaming if I was okay.

"- I'm fine, don't raise your voice. My maid's gonna ask me."

"... if you're okay, what was in there?

"That's a kind of numbing pill. I don't think poisoning is the goal because it's not that strong of a scum. Wouldn't the owner of the mansion like to catch Sophia and the others?

"Catch it? I mean... how could Sophia have that knowledge?

"It's Seth's knowledge. Because when I fry the leaves of the world tree, I read the pharmacology"

"Oh, so..."

Sophia's specs are steadily rising. But now it's more important than Sophia's ability that the couscous that was put in the treat.

The maid knows nothing more than that Sophia says there was no hostility. Thinking about it, it was the superior who poisoned it. Probably at the behest of the master of this mansion.

But if the owner of the mansion is a moderate, I don't think he's poisoning us for friendship. If so, is the Lord a hard-line associate - and Alice pulled my arm so as to block my thinking.

"... Now what?

Honestly, I ask while I think I only have a bad feeling. The answer that came back was "People are getting together outside the room".

"I see...... is this going to start with a surprise party too?

"Right. I'm sure you'll give me an enthusiastic welcome.

"Enthusiastic, hey. It's also going to be a pain in the ass"

Me and Alice keep our swords for protection, so we need to respond with spiritual sorcery. You can't keep your distance by accident. I got up from my chair and set myself up.

"Sophia's not even pretty dancing, is she?

Then Sophia, who stood up, flipped the hem of her skirt and pulled out two daggers.

No, you didn't confiscate Sophia's dagger. Honestly, that's the most vicious thing I've ever seen. And I laugh bitterly.

"Ooh, customer? Kyu, what happened to you suddenly?

The maid is in a hurry. I guess I haven't been informed of anything yet, to see how it goes.

Nevertheless, it can't be on this side either.

Why don't we just ask what's going on? The moment I took a step to walk over thinking so, I said, "Go in!" The cries echoed, and the sword-bearers crept in.
