Sitting next to my father, Ginal sitting across the street served me tea.

"Thank you."

"Dinner's almost over, so don't stop serving the snacks."

When I nodded, for some reason, Mr. Ginal stroked my head.

Why would you do that?

"How are the adventurers?"

"I think it's okay now that Horu contacted me to calm down, but it seems that there are a lot of injured people."

Your father sighs at Mr. Ginal's explanation.

It is certainly difficult for injured people to come out at such a time.

As long as there's a runaway monster, you can't waste your potion thinking about what's coming.

"Are you badly injured?"

Some of them were stabbed with swords.

It's a terrible situation.

When his father sighed, Dinal sighed.

"Let's say there were no dead people."More than that. Did you see him? ”

Did you see him?

Was Mr. Ginal supposed to meet someone?

When I look at Ginar-san, I see a smile that somehow makes me feel cold.

"I'm scared. What happened?"

"Yeah. Some of the guys who work here have been playing games."I only got into my body once, and I was able to deal with it as soon as I could, so it seemed like I had mild poisoning symptoms. "

Did you get it?

"When was the coulis blossomed?"

"They don't know that at all.When my friends came back to the meeting place, it seemed like someone who wasn't physically fit and cramped and collapsed.Immediately after I called the doctor and looked into it, he noticed that I found traces of the currants in my body and that they were filled with currants. "

Is it a rejection to have a convulsion?

If there is no one who does not fit, it is possible that the symptoms of poisoning have worsened due to the delay in realizing it.

To kill?

What, with the mussels?

Too long?

So, what's it all about?

"Well, is the man who fell safe?"

"Somehow, I'm glad the doctor did the same building."

That's lucky.

“Was Ginar's crew investigating the drug cartel?”

"Oh, they stopped all the other investigations over the past month and concentrated on investigating the drug organization."

"I mean, there's a possibility that the drug tissue has made a move, and that's why it's causing trouble."

You mean to make sure that addicts don't find out?

... it's a little impossible, isn't it?

"That's weird."

Weird?

“There are three of us who got murdered, but they're not directly investigating the narcotics organization with backup.If the drug organizations know we're investigating, it's strange that the people we're actually investigating are safe. "

You don't have to go out of your way to target backup people.

Advice?

No, I'm in trouble if the organization leaks out, so I'm going to come and take care of it right away without any advice.

Then... I don't know why I'm targeting you.

And there are three other people who have been found.

Anything else?

Dinal nods to his strange father.

"Yeah, I know, 10 other people besides you."There was only one person I knew. "

"Really? Is there anything in common between the three of you and the 10 people who gave you the kiss?"

Ginar shakes his head to the side and a wrinkle hangs between his eyebrows.

"My colleagues looked into it, but they didn't have anything in common to be targeted."It was judged that only one person, individually and in detail, was an ordinary villager and was not targeted. "

Except for one?

"It seems that some of the merchants who were fed up were the merchants who arrived in the village the day before."

Then... non-discrimination?

The drug cartels are working indiscriminately?

"Was one a natural target?"

Dinal laughs bitterly at your father's words.

"No, I'm an appraiser with a commercial guild.I was wondering if there was resentment from those whose results were unsatisfactory. "

An appraiser?

Certainly, some people resent the fact that what they had was worthless. "

"There's something else I can think of... something we haven't been able to investigate yet." or..... "

Eye loss?

Didn't you give drugs to people indiscriminately because they didn't know they were targeting them?

But I'm scared of this idea.

"Like Ivy said, I think blindness is possible.Maybe he was turned into some kind of experimental bench. "

Experimental bench?

Experiment with a couscous?

It's scarier than indiscrimination...

“Ginar, don't scare Ivy.”

"Oh, sorry."

No, I'm not scared.

I was just sad to think that someone could put people on the test bench.

"Yes, how was the rumor?"

Mr. Ginal refills the tea and puts it in front of my father and me.

Slightly sweet tea will calm you down.

"Thank you."

"Thank you. Looks like there's been a lot of rumor about both Gilmus.It's been a little while since I disappeared.And now I'm worried about the runaway monster.It seems that your anxiety is increasing because you can't see your face. "

"I see. The rumors I heard were about Gilmus of the Adventurers Guild.Speaking of which, I didn't hear much about Gilmuth in the Commercial Guild. "

Indeed, there were more rumors of Gilmus from the Adventurer Alliance than of Gilmus from the Commercial Alliance.

"There must be a lot of rumors about the Adventurer Alliance because of the anxiety of the runaway monster."

Do you think I am more concerned about the information of people who can help me now?

"Rumor has it that all the more than the middle-adventurers have left the village."

"Rumor has it, Praf had already decided before he made his decision.Some of them wanted to chase the strongest adventurers out of this village. ”

Those who wanted to get kicked out?

Even though the runaway monsters are running wild?

Does that mean there's someone here who thinks it's okay to put the people of this village at risk?

"Why?"

I don't have any evidence yet, but it looks like there's money involved.

Father shows disgust in Ginal's response.

"You think he might be getting money from a drug cartel?"

"Yes."

I can see wrinkles between my eyebrows in Mr. Ginal's words.

I can't forgive you for putting people in your village at risk for money.

I can't believe they left the garbage in the woods.

To create a runaway monster and get the Adventurer to deal with it...

No, that's too much to think about.

After all, if you make a mistake, you'll lose your village... I can't believe it.

"Speaking of which, Ivy heard interesting rumors."

Eh, me?

Mr. Ginal looks at me.

Uh, which rumor?

"Ah, the church is having a tea party and inviting people from the village?"

When I saw my father, he nodded, so it seemed right.

Tea party at church?

"Yes, women in their 40s were talking."It seems that Machine-san has been invited by the church."

"Invited to church."

Ginal looks suspicious.

I know how you feel.

"From the women's stories, the tea party seemed to be famous.I felt like I could be proud of being invited. "

If I were you, I'd have a rejection reaction.

"Do you think the druids are suspicious?"

Ah.

I agree with your father.

When I think about the church I know, I think it is holding a tea party because it is profitable.

But I don't know what the profits are.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know. Well, I think it has something to do with sex."

After all, do you think your father and the church are connected?

You want a cup of tea?

... there's a big chance they'll find out, so no.
