After defeating '『' in a village near the biblical border, the Ardiss were sent off by the villagers the next morning, and finally arrived in Leitin over the next two days. Being scrutinized by Cyril, Aldis has no time to see the city and travels to the destination firm.
After entering the building with the signboard "Litte Shokai", Kirill tells the woman at the reception that she will be taken to the reception after a while. Five minutes after the hospitality tea was served, three people came.
At the top is a young woman. A gray shortcut and large brown eyes. You can see a wealthy life from the dress.
The next two are men. One of them is a middle-aged man who seems to be a servant in beautiful clothes. The other is probably an escort. He had no armor, but had a sword down his waist. Eyes of the same color on deep green hair. She seemed to have the muscles necessary for a swordsman, despite being slender and slender, and had a well-balanced body. His instinct makes him feel that his ability is above average.
As he came into the room, he looked at Aldis and heard an indistinct voice saying "Uha!" Hearing this, a middle-aged man standing next turns his glance at the accusations.
"Wait a minute, Cyril. It's best to come back safely."
A young woman sat down on the sofa talking to Cyril, not minding the situation behind him.
"Yes, Marrieda. I just returned. Oh, uh, this is ... this is the sword I'm requesting."
Kirill presents her sword to a woman she calls Marrieda.
"Yeah, sure.
Marrieda receives it in a light tone and places it on the table with a glance.
Aldis felt strongly uncomfortable with the situation.
It is a sword that has been taken from the depths of the forest until you have done it. I guess it would be normal to pull out and check the blade. Inspection Not decorating the sheath or handle, getting the desired product and showing a satisfied face, it was as pale as if you had just received the form.
"Ah, that's right, you're financing as promised?"
News: Of course, Cyril has a good job.
Hearing Marida's words, Cyril looked relieved.
"By the way, who is that boy?"
Marida asks Cyril, looking at Aldis.
"Um ... this person is Aldis. That ... Naglas got a lot of help ..."
"That's it. It looks like you've taken care of Cyril. I'll thank you too."
Marrieda said with a smile, but with careless eyes.
"No, just because I'm willing."
Aldis responds grumpy. If this person gave Cyril a small envelope with a card, he couldn't accept the words at face value.
"Now, Kirill. I'll talk about the loan with my husband at a later date, so it's a good idea to take a rest for a while today.ぃ
"Eh? ...... Why is your sister here?"
Cyrill asked, as if that was unexpected.
“I ’m sorry ……….
Marrieda says with her tongue out as if he was.
"Huh? Yeah !?"
"Well, I wish I had been able to conceal for another day.
As soon as Cyrill begins to cover her.
"Come on. It's better to go while Elie's patience is still empty. Will Elie come here if I don't do it early?"
"Eh, oh, but ..."
Cyril, halfway up and down, is busy turning and turning her head in the direction where Marida, Aldis, and the chairman's office may be.
"Don't worry about me. Just go and reassure her sister."
"Eh, ... oh, yes ..."
Cyril, apparently reluctant to leave Aldis and leave, had heard the words and finally left the room. After seeing it off, Marrieda checks with a man who looks like a servant.
"Is the example room ready?"
"Yes, you're ready."
"Take this with you."
Marida then gives the example sword he had left on the desk.
"So, I want to talk to this boy alone, will Nicole leave me?"
A servant man disagrees with Marida, who gives directions to another escort.
"Wait, young lady. As expected, Nicole should be left."
"Okay, okay. Don't worry."
"That's why ... Hey Nicol, from you too."
"Well, I can't do that. I can't handle that. I don't feel like winning."
Palm A escort man who calls Aldis "Are" shakes at high speed and refuses.
"Hey, Nicole said," I went there quickly. "
"Lady--!"
A servant man, still voiced in opposition, was pushed out of her back by Marrieda and left.
"Well, I'm just waiting outside the room. If you have anything, shout out. I don't know if it helps."
The escort man left behind with a humble tone.
Only Aldis and Marida were left in the room. If you hear two young men and women in a closed room, a rumors-loving Madam and a young girl who dreams of love may be happy, but the air flowing through the room is not such a sweet thing.
"Now"
Marrieda sat on the sofa and started talking about warm tea.
Chiken: "Hello greeting again. I'm Marrieda. I'm a merchant who has nothing to do with the chairman of this Litte firm.
In a name he has never heard of, Aldis casts a questionable color on her dark eyes.
"The Thousand Swordsman? What is it?"
After moving from Tria to the Grand City of Gran, Aldis stopped trying to hide his abilities. For that reason, the existence of sword magic and the name of Aldis who uses it have spread throughout the royal capital, and they are accustomed to being called "users of sword magic."
The Three Great Devils Some people have called Aldis the "Three Great Demon Slayers" because of their defeat of monsters around the capital city. But I've never heard of the name "Swordsman of Thousand Swords" before.
"Well, you know."
With a smiling expression, Marrieda disturbs the story.
"Is it the first time that Aldis is Laytin? This is a trading town where you can enjoy a variety of foods from all over the place. Yeah, it's far from the sea, and there are almost no sea fish. "
Marrieda brings up a story that Aldis is not interested in at all. I don't think I'm going to start talking about it.
"Some ingredients come from the kingdom of Nagras, but you have to eat here-"
"Who are you?"
Aldis, who had trouble finding a good story, asked straight questions.
Marrieda replied with a smile as usual.
"Yes? Did you introduce yourself to Marrieda at the Litte Shokai earlier?"
"I'm not saying that."
"Okay, don't look so scary. First of all, I'm not Aldis's enemy."
Aldis finds Marrieda who speaks lightly.
"Are you a face that you can't trust?"
"Naturally. Do you think that a guy who can send a child alone to the forest with monsters is credible?"
Kirill's case and Marrieda's humanity might be different stories. But it was this woman who sent Cyril to the forest where the demon wanders. A decent nervous man will not do that unless he has malicious intent.
As a result, Cyril was safe and the sword he wanted was available. But that's because he accidentally met Aldis. Without Aldis's help, he would not have been able to survive in the Caucasus Forest, find an underground entrance at the archeological site, or repel the variant possessed by the sword.
If you have a common sense, you'll have enough escorts like the Nicol swordsman, and have the money you need to hire escorts in town. Demon Cave Earlier, I wouldn't have ordered a twelve-year-old to explore ...
"But you did your mission, right?"
"That would be the result theory,"
"Well, I wanted to put on an escort and give me a lot of road banking, so I wonder if Cyril couldn't meet you, Aldis, you?"
(What are you talking about?)
Aldis is puzzled by the strange meaning of Marida. Marrieda's speech sounds even as if the purpose was to bring Aldis and Kirill together.
But is there such a thing?
It was by chance that Aldis entered the Caucasus Forest that day. The sword he had ordered from the blacksmith happened, and at that time, Ardis did not undertake the request and happened to consider cutting it in the forest of Caucasus.
Cyril also happened to enter the forest on that day, and was forgotten by the escort she hired. It is not something you can aim for.
Possession If you know that you will meet Aldis, you may be able to find an entrance to the basement at the archeological site, drive away the sword-shaped variant, or safely return home to Leiting. But Cyril wasn't the one who knew Aldis, and even if he knew in advance, it was too accidental to rely on it and it was unnatural.
And most of all, the words on the little card that Cyrill was handed. That's definitely a message I wrote to interest Aldis.
"That card you gave to Cyrill. What are you going to do? What do you know that? Who are you?"
