The Branded Female Fencer

Experion's pursuit was also at the request of the Alliance, and there was no doubt that Tarrum was a major relay point, but the key part could not be grasped in the next step. Therefore, I have a history of requests coming around to Fostina. As a guild, Letore would have twisted the request to be cleaned up as a top priority, even though Fostina's consent had been obtained.

In addition, in this case, there was a battle with various people in Yuki, but it was a battle that was not necessary. As a female mercenary, Fostina also has a high calling for the strongest, but unnecessary fighting is a character to avoid whenever possible. Pay for the firepowder that comes down, but a series of fights in Tarrum is not where Fostina wants it to be, and Letore was apologizing again, including on that point.

"I'm sorry I got into an unnecessary fight. I'd like to see what you know before I report it, okay?

"Fighting is inevitable in this world, so you don't have to apologize that way. I, too, regret not being able to stand around a little better.

Now let's get down to business. Let's start, to the best of my knowledge. It was definitely Almas who was partitioning the distribution. But did Almas not intend to make a profit on Experion, limiting its circulation and keeping it under full surveillance? It was used as a place for distribution by unseen whorehouses, illegal casinos, etc., but it seemed to focus especially on dealings in whorehouses where evil spirits appeared this time. The distribution of Xperion could also be confirmed by the Yatri Chamber of Commerce, but there was no consistency in their use, presumably thinking that they had in some way seized some of the distribution and used it in a lateral fashion.

However, the Yatri Chamber of Commerce is currently in havoc due to the attack on the headquarters of the Yatri Chamber of Commerce and the disappearance of Yatri himself. Even the remaining executives don't seem to know how to move the Chamber of Commerce, as Yatri was moving most of the distribution with his own arms. If Yatri was alive, there would be no confusion, so I'm thinking he might be dead. "

"Hmm. So you want to say that the series of disturbances is all over and that Armas will manage Experion in moderation in the future?

"Probably. But there is no single piece of evidence that Almas is undertaking the distribution of Xperion. Only merchants and sellers who have not been informed of end-of-life circumstances are always complaining. I use only humans who can cut and throw away at any time. In a moment, maybe only Whisper knows the distribution route, even in Almas."

"Though it's reasoning, it's pretty convincing. I have pretty much the same idea. And from here on out is the problem, but then I can't get my hands on it more and more. The request to crusade Whisper himself is one of the highest requests behind the Alliance. The rewards are enormous, but no one has ever been able to make it before, and no one has ever spoken up, anyway. If requested, it could be an immediate target for Almas. The client is probably Arnelia, but that hasn't been revealed again either. Arnelia and I don't even want to clash with Almas.

And there's another key thing. Those who sent Xperion after him on your behalf, they've all been killed. Besides, he was politely torn to pieces. Maybe I'm glad you didn't go after him. "

"That's not the way Almas does it."

Letore also agreed with Fostina's opinion.

"Yes, Almas would end up unknown. I wouldn't do anything to get found dead, and the way Whisper was killed is extremely vivid and brutal. I wouldn't do it in such a way that includes self-expression. So I can imagine that this is something Whisper doesn't even know about.

Then who did it? Maybe one of the Experion cases isn't over yet. I wonder if someone we don't know is involved in this matter. That's my question now. "

"- Still, you may need to go after it. It's called a battlefield thing, it was a strange move from the beginning. In the first place, there's no way Almas would make the Demon King appear all over the city in that way. The movement in Tarrum feels like someone's personal - yes, a strong benevolence."

"Right. It's also a strong resentment that goes hand in hand. I don't care what happens, including myself. Maybe that's who I'm dealing with. Be careful, Fostina. When you engage with someone like this, no matter what the outcome, you are also a source of great injury. Don't get me wrong."

"Let's try."

Fostina tried to take a seat, so Letore pulled back.

"Wait. It's about your reward."

"Not required. I have yet to be of any real help. You can't just get paid like that."

"Then I'll tell you as an advance. The real 'ruins' pick people. How good a person would be, it would not even come true to touch its existence if it were not chosen as a ruin. Conversely, as long as you are chosen, you may benefit from the ruins no matter how many fools you may be. The ruins have a will. The criteria for that will vary from site to site. Therefore, not all of them will be good for humans"

"You think I don't deserve to touch the ruins?

"Or maybe I just haven't met a qualified ruin. But walking in search of the ruins is dangerous. If you inadvertently wake up a ruin that you don't need to wake up to, it will only entail great sacrifices"

"What is a great sacrifice, how much?

"to the point where all strife feels pointless, taking place on the continent"

Fostina was stuck in words for a moment, but still the light lingered in her eyes. Letore was guessing what that meant.
