"That's what happened. It's a really insecure city!

When she arrived at the inn and joined Michelle, Retina was speaking out of indignation.

Of course it's not a bad idea to meet in a room, but unfortunately the room they're taking isn't that big.

Each body was just too narrow for the six of us who grew up to discuss it.

So we went to the inn cafeteria, and by renting a partition seat there, we decided to discuss it.

Of course, your voice is stunned, but you can block your gaze. And if there's anything you're listening to, I can notice, so it shouldn't be a problem for now.

"That being said, louder is a problem so far, so Retina needs to keep her voice down a little bit"

"Ugh, I'm sorry about that."

"Well, I can understand Retina's anger, too. The problem is the indifference of the city's people."

I poked my cheek wand at the sighing mixture as I followed the dish that was carried.

The hair flowing on the table feels depressed with harrowing.

"Too indifferent to the surroundings. I don't know if there's anything wrong with that."

"You mean it's gonna be hard to gather information about the city?

"Unless maybe there's a direct interest, why don't you just avoid taking care of yourself and hold your mouth?

"I'm not good at talking to people like that."

Cloud listened to the situation and laid his face down on the table neatly.

His communication skills are by no means lower. Instead, if you consider a handful called the Half Demon, you can say exceptionally expensive.

Still, I found it difficult to blend into this city.

"Yeah. I'm more afraid to move poorly and get attention. Maybe Cloud and Michelle shouldn't go out either."

Initially I thought I'd ask them to gather information on the city. But at this rate, the city can cause weird trouble.

"But you can't just do nothing, can you? I want to help you, Retina."

"Michelle is a good girl..."

With my cheekstick poked, I stretch my arms and stroke Michelle's head.

It's not even that big of a table, so I can reach about her head sitting diagonally forward.

"And the rice's not very good either."

"Is that the real deal?"

"Eh heh."

But I don't even know what Michelle claims. The food transported was heavily used of oil, and the spices were also overused.

That may have been a symbol of luxurious cuisine in some places, but in the case of this store it just seems to deceive the naiveté of technology.

Vegetables of an inconsistent size are sautéed in a pancake or something. Honestly, my camping dishes are still better done.

"But the fact that adventurers who don't adventure continue to stay for extended periods of time might also attract some weird attention. I'm sure this city will be fine."

"I just feel like I'm hiding in my room like this, so if you have something to do, I'll be happy to do it."

"It's a rare thing that the cloud is so full of motivation, and I wonder if you'd listen to me in the guild for now"

"Wait, I'm always motivated?

"I don't care about that."

"Are you okay?!?

"Be careful when listening, as the Alliance may also be embraced"

"Are you serious..."

It is not common… but if these local powers are overhead and strong, it is often the case that they are in such a situation.

Cloud seemed shocked to hear that.

"Even Raum couldn't ignore what Maxwell and Cortina said."

"Well, you can't ignore them anywhere."

"It's just small, it's similar here. Just the difference between authority as a hero or the power of gold."

"Adults are filthy. No."

"Just so you know, you've grown up with one."

So to get back to serious, I turned my face to Retina.

"Retina. Was what you're doing this time, cultivating illegal drugs?

"Yeah, there's a rumor about that."

"Do you know what kind of medicine it is?

"I did use mushrooms, it should have been something like a psychotropic. I don't know what kind."

"Mushrooms..."

In the process of learning alchemy, I can say who I cannot avoid.

Of course, I handle it in the High Department, but I can't teach you how to handle illegal products in class.

What Retina doesn't know was also an impossible story.

"I usually extract the drug effect with water or distilled liquor, but that's the same thing with other materials."

"But if you're handling it enough to distribute it all over the city, you should be using tons of water! Check it out."

"I already asked the chef. No one's crazy."

"Mmm."

Retina was dismissed immediately with disappointment. But it's not a bad starting point. Because I was the first place to find out.

"Never mind that I simply started my investigation earlier. More than that, Michelle and Cloud are going to check out the mask sale."

"Mask? The one who granted purification (purifying)?

"Not only that, you can have a regular dust mask. It's expensive, so it's not suitable for man-made sea tactics."

"How do you know what human-sea tactics are?

"That's because the easiest way to get them out in large numbers is to challenge them in numbers. So, if you're going to try in numbers, you're going to have a ton of masks. Mushrooms, especially because spores splash."

"Oh, I see."

It is of course more effective to extract the drug effect and concentrate it.

But if you continue to inhale large quantities, even in trace amounts, you should definitely be addicted first.

To prevent that, we still need items like masks.

Not to mention psychotropic drugs with illegal drugs. If you get addicted in the workplace, fall back and forth unconscious and ramble, and the hands of the official constitution are in, the business will be ruined.

"Okay, I'll check it out. Then, as a camouflage, do you take it even at the request of some kind of herb collection? Then it's not weird to check the mask."

"Nicole, Cloud, you're weird! I'm using my head properly!

"Hiya!

Michelle is making fun of the cloud rarely. That's about it, you mean you're feeling better?

It's unusual for a girlfriend with a big personality to make fun of people.

That could have been the first sight to see for Retina. Her face, surprisingly round her eyes, was a sight inside.
