"Ahhh, what are you doing when you're a weasel..."

With that mouth, the eagle stuck from his head into a bed full of soft cotton.

By now, he and Lim will be enjoying a sumptuous meal behaved in the Imperial Palace. There was no way that eagles could go to such a place, and I was supposed to leave messages at the inn for the most part.

"Ah... stretch! Something feels good."

In short, I'm free, so I lifted the prism slime body that he calls Lime and pulled it to the side.

Muni!! stretches out so well that the sound effects seem suitable.

... In the first place, I wasn't going to come with you this time, why are the eagles here? I'm going to think back a little while I'm soothed by the feel of my mummy palms.

The trigger was that he lent his sword to Ren, the eagle's brother.

I can understand my brother's feelings when he said he wanted to go to Erindal because the eagle had become emotional towards Brother Rik before this and he couldn't even talk slowly.

He lent his sword to his brother like that.

He said that the sword his brother had was damaged, so he gave him his love sword as an alternative.

He gave his sword a name and let go of the sword he cared about, albeit temporarily, so perverted that he was about to get hurt by cheeks on his blackening body.

Well... I was kind of happy with that, so I thought I'd help you with this request.

"No, it's okay to be waiting. I just don't like it because I can't imagine a future where he'll come home from work peacefully without anything. Why do we always have to worry about this one?"

As she speaks to herself in bed so that she can hold the soft lime over her chest, the seeds of worry grow bigger and bigger.

"What the hell, you're in some kind of trouble. That guy. Not surprisingly, the troublesome aristocrats were upside down, rampaging up, destroying the palace on the brink or something, and the guards threw him into the barn. I'm glad that's all."

Sigh and roll gobbly over the bed to calm the mood.

"With Rim with me, I don't think it's going to be that bad, but I'm worried because there's something so lame about that kid too... I mean, this isn't like those two mothers of eagles then"

Hmm... I guess in a few moments the party at the Imperial Palace will be over.

"Just come home... already"

You're tired of rage, because you've only been uttering it for a little while - the eagle closed his eyes quietly.

◇◇◇◆◆◆◇◇◇

After Emperor Mihasa left, the unveiling also seemed to have been successfully concluded, and since we saw Tiamo returning to the lodging of the nobles, we turned our feet to our own inn.

If you knock on the door of the room and then open it, isn't Ray sleeping on the bedding and getting a small sleep?

This is unusual. It is very rare for her to expose herself to such defenselessness.

Ren's one bragged that we were trained to wake up with even a few noises, but I guess sometimes we get relaxed. Because it's human.

As I watched with a raw warm gaze, the lime as Ray held it in his chest showed movement.

"Master, welcome home"

"Ah."

"Ugh... hmm? Hey, hey! Speak up if you're home."

Raising momentum, Ray was in a position to exit the knife right at his hip.

"No, Ray's asleep feeling good, so I was wondering if it would be bad to wake him up"

"That's all. So, did you get the escort job done safely? It's not like they're after us, but should we leave the Imperial City immediately?

"So! Stop thinking like I did something right then. Your escort is safe for today, and Tiamo's request is going well."

"Phew, it's really over with nothing?... Why are you suddenly turning away, because you're scared of that!

No... 'Cause, hey?

"Hey Rim, I knew something was up!? Tell me about it."

"Uh. Aren't you surprised to hear that?

You're somewhat prepared, and Ray gave up on Rim's words and snorted in tone.

"Sage said he wanted the necklace the emperor was wearing, so..."

"No way"

"No, wait, wait, wait! I'm not wrong, but I didn't force you to take it! Don't look at me like I'm a criminal! The emperor asked me to give him a letter. I got this necklace as a reward."

"... what? Now what?"

"Also, of course, if I could give you a letter, I'd pay you a decent reward..."

"Not! Why are you so close to the emperor? I can't believe you can say hello to the emperor."

Too much scratch, I accidentally tell the Emperor that he came down the window.

"- And well, that's why he asked me to."

As I go through, Ray's face in front of me gradually turns red as I explain what just happened. His eyes sharpened and he still had the momentum to stab someone with a knife.

"This... idiot!! Why are you sticking your neck in such a nasty matter!

"No, 'cause I'm just gonna give you a letter, okay? I got my necklace for the previous reward."

"Shut up. I know about the old couple yesterday, but why are you turning to yourself for that kind of trouble? Even Rim thinks so, doesn't he?

Damn, Ray's one. Ask Rim for help!?

"Um, I... because I've been saved so many times at Sage's. It's nice to step into something that normal people don't want to be involved in."

Oh, no, my face kind of burns.

"Don't be fooled. He wanted the necklace, so he just asked for it."

"Yeah...... I do have a bit of a place like that"

No! The reward of Heavenly Green Stone was fascinating. But I don't regret anything about getting this. 'Cause I wanted it! In the first place, it would be legitimate for an adventurer to receive a reward instead of a request.

"And anyway, because I'm delivering this letter by myself. Then you're not complaining, are you?

"Uh, why? I'm coming with you."

I hugged Lime, who was circling on the bed and watching what was going on, and Rim, who put him on my head, said so, naturally.

"Yeah, so you could get caught up in something dangerous, as Ray would say..."

"Yeah. Is that why you're following me? Now I'd be able to help Sage, and it'd be safer to go alone, wouldn't it?

The moment I saw the look on her face smiling, my heart, which was moving fine, suddenly stopping the blood supply and swelling to its limits, struck me.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ha... ha... that was close to danger.

Hmm... I almost got a history of arrests for indecency.

"Master, now I'm coming with you."

"Oh, thank you. Lime. It's just that... you were talking about the intended person being in a tavern called Nose Forest. That... what's going on? Ray."

Look, Ray, who was preppy until just now, is also wearing a coat and checking for knives and whips or something.

"How... is it bad when you're ready?

"Because otherwise, I thought Ray wouldn't come"

I didn't think all those amazing sword-screen characters would come with me.

"Nothing. You didn't tell me you weren't going."

"Yeah, but I got my neck on a troublesome matter..."

"Ugh. By and large, you know where that tavern is? Nose Forest is the kind of place where informants are hanging out. Because there are so many of them, you're going to be fooled."

Uhm, and even though I don't have a land survey, I'm a little scared to go somewhere where there seems to be so many back-social people. Ray also said he knew an informer, and he would be very reliable if he came.

"Come on, if you want to go, let's go."

It's too early to move if you decide, and we just left the inn behind.

Even though it was night, because of the parade of celebrations during the day, many of the shops lining the streets of the Civic District were still lively, but whenever I followed Ray's guide and bent down the aisle, there were fewer pedestrians.

"- Right here. When you get inside the store, don't look too giddy at the people around you. You don't want to hear a frigid money-making story or anything, do you?

A stone building that was half underground, the sign said something in collapsed font.

When the door leading into the store is pushed open, the interior is slightly dim.

As Ray noted, I tried not to look at the people around me as much as possible, but not the atmosphere where everyone enjoys booze with their faces exposed.

And I obviously feel some of the gaze being directed at this one.

As I proceeded straight to the counter where the master of the tavern was, Ray put his lips closer to this ear and whispered to me:

"Give me the money."

Are you kidding me? I can't believe you're here to be rattled. I can cry.

I shut up and took the copper coin out of my purse and tried to give it to Ray... he poked me in the side.

In a hurry to replace it with a silver coin, Ray slips away that silver coin and offers it on the counter table, asking the master.

"I need help with a guy named Torphin... where?

Oh, I see. Is that what you mean? But I guess you could have lectured me a little more gently on how to do it.

The master turns his jaw to the man in the corner of the room quickly, polishing a clear and beautiful glass.

There was a person sitting there with his face hidden in his jacket, tilting the glass with his mouth.

"Um, are you Mr. Tolfin?

"What about you? How do you know my name?

From a low voice, you can draw a vigilance that you have nothing to hide.

"Someone asked me to give you this letter."

Mr. Tolfin, who received the letter in surprise, raised a small and surprising voice the moment he saw the wax mark on which he was sealing.

"... Master, let me use the back room a little."

That's what I said, I moved with the room in the back of the tavern. There are no other people around but us, making it the perfect environment to have a secret conversation.

"Well, you don't have to worry about someone talking to you here. Can you tell me why you guys had that letter?

Well, hiding it here doesn't start anything, so for now I briefly told you how I was supposed to receive a letter from the emperor.

"I wrote to you directly from Mihasa...!? No... did you have to do so that Master Duran died"

Yeah? Another new person is out. It's time for my head to roll.

"Duran is the name of an officer of the Imperial Palace who was found dead before. He said he was against the engagement ritual, so maybe he was a good understander of the emperor. By the way, are you a Duran associate?

Speaking of which, Ray said that during this time. You're too scared of the Imperial Palace to be assassinated as soon as you disagree that your engagement is premature.

"... right. I had a secret life from Master Duran. But if you try to come back to Empire City to keep in touch, Master Duran says he's dead. I was wondering what was going on... and you guys showed up there."

Mr. Tolfin carefully removed the wax from the letter he had in his hand.

- With this letter.
