Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave
Episode 754 Negotiations - vs. Intelligencers -
The maples, who managed to get to the casino ship after leaving Switzerland, will, for now, fall apart again in some ways, as Kate told them. Fortunately, it is forbidden to keep in touch with the outside world inside the casino ship. So it will be a while before the snitches of other countries realize that they are in here.
Rather than that, a juncture had unfolded in which such sorcery of sorcery could not be used. Of course, the National Intelligence Departments will pull it out, but it will be a little safe. I was reluctant to do anything that I didn't need at the casino, which was a topical business, to prevent information from being leaked from the information stores.
Now you're safe for a while.
"Oh..."
Maple makes it look like he's appropriately hanging out with Sho and walks to the bar counter just like Kite a few days later. That's how they sat on the bar counter, while the farnese in the dress approached. He would be suspicious in the lion's appearance, the decision was made.
"Brilliant, you two"
"Mr. Farnese?
"Whoa, Farnese, I'm visiting your sister. Oh, if you were watching, help me, no words."
Farnese laughs and tells him so. Because that's what Kate ordered. Naturally, more than this was a request from Kite, Kite also had proper surveillance.
"Master, I want these kids to have a bright red white lady. Piña Corrada, please."
"Yes, sir."
The bartender nods at the words of Farnese. It's obvious, but there can't be an ultimatum with you every day to access a confidential informant. What's more, it varies according to location.
We can't let the boulders look into maples who don't know anything about this one at a time. So Farnese checked it out and brought it, so...
She is the demon of kite. And this place is under the control of the Viktor Chamber of Commerce, which I cordially greet with him. You couldn't have known. After a while, the bartender still came with a piece of paper and a key to the room.
"Take this one."
"Thanks. Oh, I didn't let you bring drinks to these kids' rooms later. Oh, I'll take the money."
Farnese holds a milky white drink in one hand and sends out the maples. Come on, let's go. So the two of them take a drink in one hand and start walking.
"Um... that room."
Maple and Sho enter the room instructed by the two of us. Then there was one dealer waiting.
"Welcome aboard. My name is Salia and I am the dealer in this room."
Welcomed the two were one female dealer with long blue hair close to black in their early 20s. The outfit is casino, so Bunny, not normally the dealer's outfit.
"Oh, excuse me. I don't have any money..."
"I know you. How many minutes the informant is still in the middle of a business meeting with his previous client. Therefore, we have been told to treat you more often than the Alliance of Informants."
Salia smiles elegantly at Sho, who apologizes quite sorry. That was a superb smile that made the beholder wander. Besides, I guess the perfume also uses pretty fine objects. It felt like an adult woman dealing with noble nobles.
And what's amazing is the style. It is true that Tina is not as glamorous as she is, so she looked like an even-handed goddess of beauty. That was understandable, even from unexposed dealer clothes.
Even a lover's sho, even though there is no incense, is so much under his nose that it stretches. Well, I was instantly shaking my head back to sanity that it shouldn't be on the boulder.
"All the time..."
"So will you compete?
"Please"
"Then I'll deal with you. Why are you being played?
When Salia says so, she asks Maple. To that inquiry, I decided to suggest a play that would only be here because of the maple.
"Is there a play that's only here?
"Right... so what about" Dearty of Fortune, "the Goddess of Destiny?
Salia retrieves several tarot card-style cards. but that was nothing but a beautiful pattern on the back. In other words, all the surfaces that write down the numbers, etc. that are supposed to be blank. So neither Sho nor Maple understands the intent and tilts his neck.
"... blank paper?
"Hehe... that's the funny thing about this card. Touch it and see."
Check the surface where Sho should have been blank, for his hand, on one of the sheets offered by Salia. Then there was depicted a man dressed in black on the back of the moon and night.
"Is that...?
"This is a magic card. It's a kind of magic trick. And your lady."
"Huh..."
At the urging of Salia, I also see the maple for one hand. And when I looked at the surface that should have been blank, the pattern still came up here as well. It was a sorceress with a wand on a light blue background. And when he saw his face, Salia urged him even more.
"Try replacing it"
"" Huh... "
Following Salia's words, the two exchange the cards they had. Then, in front of the two watching eyes, the pattern changed again to the pattern they had earlier.
"" Heh... "
The two of you are strangely impressed that this is a card not found on Earth. And the maple noticed one thing. It felt like we were representing each other.
"... is it possibly reflecting that person?
"As you can guess. This is still just a reflection of your inner shallow spot. If you're a lady, you're a magician."
Salia smiles and tells him so. Not yet, so I guess this is the rules of the game.
"Per person, three. Put this card on this pedestal for your hand. Then..."
Salia shows herself a card with a dealer pattern once, and three more cards to her hand. So he turned it upside down and put it on three sheets on the pedestal.
"On this pedestal, the pattern is preserved as it is when you serve it. So, you can turn it over automatically."
When Salia says so, she flips the card. That's how it showed up: three brave men, a rainbow, and a mother with a baby.
"... this way, it's saved in multiple pictures, so... These two pieces combine to compete. Think of it as easier to understand when you put out the three sheets. Well, there are three rules to contend with, but that's more complicated. And now, some of those things."
When Salia says so, she presents a list of card combinations. There were quite a few kinds of them, and it seemed difficult to remember them at once. Besides, even the same bills seem to change strength and weakness depending on the color.
Well, it's the first game I touch. It would be difficult to remember the rules perfectly in the first place. It seems that those who remember them all are rare if asked, and this table is always displayed before the contenders. What makes me even more questionable is the criteria by which the pattern is chosen.
"By what criteria are the patterns chosen?
"I'm in the mood. Depending on your mood at that time. If you're going to win, who will take the victory here. If you don't want to lose, the guardian here. If you want glory, grab the honor hand here. The very emotions that come to mind when you fight. That's what you got to fight for. The trick is not just to be flushed by the emotions of the moment, but also to think of things that are not always beneficial by taking good control of the emotions."
To Salia's words, Maple and Sho see a list of roles developed before themselves. Then, there were billboards representing meals that certainly had nothing to do with the battle, or death at the end of the day. I guess that means imagine a pattern that you don't want to be flushed by emotions.
"The criteria for winning and losing are as depicted here. Well, it would be quicker to try and do things. What will you do? What is it, there are some simple rules games, and now that's common there. Originally this was a tool of fortune. There are too many different kinds of games for you."
"... because of it, and please. Oh, the rules are simple."
Maple and Sho decide to experience that once they look at each other, this kind of magical tangled play would certainly be something unique to the other world. So, for a while, they were going to have a fight with Salia.
When the battle counted a dozen times. So Salia stopped the hand of battle. That's how I put my ear on something that sounded like a radio, and I was listening to something.
"Apparently, your business meeting with your earlier client has been wrapped up. The lady was good inside. Your boy's inside, too. This time it was bad for him."
"Huh... you're tired inside, this..."
To Salia's words, Xiang tells her as she returns her card. It's not like I don't think about it. Read how they feel, and then explore the hand tags on which you can win. Moreover, emotional swings can change the hand tag.
It was a very advanced psychological battle. Speaking of which, I hear the head spinning fast and the poker face maple was a strongman inside.
"Right. As the name of the Goddess of Destiny, Dearty of Fortune, suggests, if you do it without thinking about it, it even represents the fate of the person. It seems that's how you used to divine the tools."
To Sho's words, Salia nods as she quickly cleans up. That way, when she finishes cleaning up behind her, she lowers her head one way back. So at the same time part of the wall twisted and flipped, and one man revealed himself.
"I'm sorry. My previous client has prolonged."
What showed up was a different executive from the informant guild that Kate meets in a few days. This is an even higher executive. I also know who Kate is. With a request from Kate, even more senior executives were moving. I apologize for showing up. He seemed to see it as more polite to show up than he had made me wait a long time.
"So, what's the request? What do you want?
"Take this."
Maple hands an ultimatum deposited by Kite against the executives who sat in front of them. It was like a kind of key held by an informer's guild when receiving the previously requested information. Only if the client or his equivalent takes it in his hand will it glow. So now it was glowing.
"... cupboard number 38..."
When the executives of the informer guild snap like that, they close their eyes just a little bit. This seems to be his unique way of doing it, usually with a seal on his memory. That would be the sign of the opening of the seal by self-implication.
Where his memories were extracted by witchcraft, the information inside would remain sealed if he did not open it. It was their way of leaving information only in their heads as an informer.
That's how he took a circular magic prop about 3 cm in his hand. They say it's a special magic trick used to write memories.
"This will be the product of the request. I remember receiving half of the money in advance."
"Thank you. Here's another ultimatum from my client."
"Sure, I received... no problem"
When Maple receives the Prop, he puts it firmly in his nose and hands it yet another Prop. This is like a wallet with a commission. This is also a special item that the informant is giving to his client. I didn't even want to be seen handing over the hardware. Seeing executives confirm that, Maple secretly strokes his chest down inside.
Now I give this to Farnese later, and it was over. Thus, in response to it, an even more executive man opened his mouth. He's an informant. I knew the maples were coming, and I knew what Kate was saying.
"Is that all?
"One more thing later. Give me some information about Tensakura School... and get some information about the ploy being set up."
Maple tells him so, seeping in a little nervousness. From here on out, it was the show of her arms.
"Hmm... how much do you want to pay?
"How much?
"It's 300 Mithril silver coins. Nothing less."
"Become..."
To the words of the executives, Sho ceases. I'm so confused. It just seemed like the way I said it. This is about 30 million yen in Japanese yen. It would be a terrific rampage.
but this is natural. Anyway, I said give them all the information they've been collecting. Flip the total expenses, etc., and you'll need that lightly.
That said, there's no way the Adventures Department of Red Poverty can pay such an amount, of course. And about that, they knew too. That's why he smiled and shook his head.
"Well, I guess I can't. Give it up."
The executives just answered the price because they asked. I didn't mean to sell off any information. And up to this point, Maple had also been heard by Tina. It was only then that the maple cut out without getting lost.
"Well, I have something for you to buy."
"Hmm..."
The executives are informants, but at the same time executives of the Viktor Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, if it is a rare object, there is no way to admit it as consideration. Especially if it's Japanese art, the favorites will buy it at a high price. That's why he was also slightly preoccupied with the maple proposal.
"First of all, this is it. It's an ink painting written by a famous Japanese painter."
"Look..."
The availability of information here will dictate the fate of Heavenly Cherry Blossom School tomorrow. That's why Tensakura School decided to provide ink paintings that were decorated in the now unused office of the board chairman. It's not being used. It should be said that it is more effective to sell it off and add it to what can be bought. I'm not supposed to say anything with my cherry blossom grandfather.
This was a fairly expensive item that would have cost millions if bought in Japan. And so, metaphorically, executives from different worlds could understand this splendor. I couldn't help but roar.
But it's still not enough. He was also an executive of the Viktor Chamber of Commerce, so he understood the value of the painting. If I could see the value I saw in Japan, I could go with another voice, I stepped on it.
"Sure, good stuff... but I want another one"
When executives say so, they show an attitude that once negotiated, they will ride. The worst is just this one, but this one's overwhelming right now. It was a loss if I didn't take what I could. As Kate said, I've been looking at your feet. That said, if you don't want to put out any more maples, I don't want to.
"Then one. I have something I want you to buy."
"Hmm?"
"The life of an earlier assassin. Buy it back."
"... what?
To the words of the maple, once and for all, the executives round their eyes. It's a sudden statement when you think about what the hell you're bringing up. He couldn't catch up with understanding for a moment.
"Earlier, just before I got here. We met assassins of the Assassin Alliance, who would be your collaborators, and engaged. I repelled this. I don't know if it's him or her, but I'll keep it. Buy it back."
"... no, that wouldn't make sense. We set it up in the first place. Where's the proof?"
Executives regain their minds and shake their heads in a sigh mix. Sure, what she's saying isn't a mistake. It was their instructions that placed the spy over there. The defeat itself had been reported to him as well.
I set them up to get information on how many feet they should see and how strong they are. For them, where information is life, the information of the adventurer's ability to fight was above all the most important information. The majority of customers have access to information stores in search of this. Without this, there's no point in being an informer.
That said, that shouldn't have been grabbed. If so, this place should have passed unknowingly. but here it is, the maple was smart, I guess. Because I was able to point out why I was able to make that decision.
"Evidence? Evidence would be easy. He didn't try to kill us. That's all."
I don't understand the meaning of what was pointed out, and the executives tilt their necks.
"You're the only ones who have no point in killing us. No, I can't kill him. You must not kill us for a reason. I just can't afford to buy Kite the Brave... can I?"
"Eh..."
Drawing stars. Stunning on the faces of executives. And in Maple's words, I could also understand why we were the only suspects. They're the only ones who can put a snitch in the adventure club and know who the brave Kate is.
There's another Valtard Empire, but that's withholding talks with Kite. If you think about it, there's no point in assaulting anybody here. You don't want to create a factor that can be deliberately rubbed by doing such a violent thing.
Plus they won't know they're going to the casino today. It's as if we're looking forward to it. We can't have a detective in front of the casino. If that were the case, only the informants who had been on the established route up to this point could do this.
"... but that still won't be a reason to buy back the assassin's life."
Executives regain their minds again, but insist, no. but the next moment a squeaky voice echoed into the room on this.
"Haha! No, I don't mind! Give it to me!
Some of the walls twirl again, and the old woman shows up. Thus, the negotiation was finally to move to authentic objects with the appearance of an old woman.
