It was a surprise that Aaron was disturbed.

The other day, when I met him, I had the nerve to respond calmly without disturbing anything... but I guess I'm still young.

Besides, perhaps this information hasn't really been shared with anyone yet.

If people like me who have suddenly visited me in such a situation knew... well, there's no reason to disturb them.

However, I still have nothing to say about how I know.

You don't have to tell me.

Because it would be advantageous not to say so.

I'm not going to fight, so I have to be careful.

In the meantime, I say to Aaron, thinking about it.

"Why doesn't matter? Don't you care more about the story than that?

Aaron objectively looked at his attitude when he was utterly calm.

Phew, exhale.

"... excuse me. I was upset. Whatever it is, it's too bad for your heart... Of course, I'm worried about the content of the story. But I'm more curious about the source....."

"If you want to know more about my sources, I need to know more about Aaron's organization."

"... what are you talking about?

"Finding and collecting value for what is a merchant, any information… it is a very important gesture and any merchant will do more or less. But it's just a business matter. As far as I know, there aren't many more people going there. I can count in this country with one hand. Most of them are large merchants of royalty and nobility. But right now, there's one organization trying to get in here and try to hunt down. It's called" Owl "but....

……

Obviously, Aaron's complexion changes.

You look at me like you see something that's not human.

I understand that feeling.

Of course, the information is not so readily available, but the organization did not even exist clearly at this time.

Even in the back world.

It was a long time ago that I started asking for names... but I knew where I was already at this point in my activity.

I couldn't help but notice the details of the activity, but this alone would be enough weapon against Aaron.

The look on Aaron's face makes it clear.

Well, when ordinary people see it, Aaron's expression will remain the same as before, and his smile will remain sticky.

But I know better.

He is upset and afraid of me.

It is not even impossible to succumb to him if we continue to do so.

But I don't intend to...

So I said.

"... well, it's like a light rumor. I don't know if there's any such thing... right?

"I guess so...."

You don't think Aaron really sees me as a rumor.

However, it seems that the intention was conveyed that I would not specifically mention it.

Just a little bit back, Aaron says.

"If I tell you something about that, you tell me about the source, too?

"If I am willing to tell you, I will tell you something that is commensurate with the information I have told you."

"Is the content commensurate with the information..." I don't know how much you know about the ""... it's hard for me to just choose what to say. "

"Really? Then you should stop talking about it. I'm not impressed."

"I see... I think it would be better to give up on you and make your story about Isaac a theme."

"Well, let's do that... of course, I'm sure Aaron would have guessed at this point, but what I'd like to talk about is the magic equipment Isaac is working on."

"Are you still grabbing that far... I heard you. The other day, I was sent to the Magic Tower. Does that matter? What did they tell you about that demon?

"I told you about the magic equipment of the magic shield over there. It's currently almost exclusive to the Tower, but I don't think it's very desirable."

"Hmm... so?

"So we talked about whether you would cooperate with me."

…… Looks like a little talk flew. What kind of cooperation is that?

"I need your help in inventing and producing a new magic shield magic device. Aaron, just like you think with Isaac."

…… What are you talking about? "

"Ah, no, Aaron. I told you, didn't I? My decision to be my enemy only bothers you."

"With all due respect, aren't you the one trying to be the enemy right now?

"Why?"

"... that's fine. Let me tell you something. A new magic shield magic tool, it looks like you're trying to make it, but it's what we've got ahead of us. You're... working with the Tower of Magic to stir us up and crush it. Because that's the only way I can feel it."

"Trying to crush it? Could you elaborate a little bit more?"

"You and The Tower of Magic will have trouble making new magic tools. I have information somewhere about inexpensive and effective magic tools that could be made… I'm trying to stop them by applying pressure like this. That's all I can think of."

"I see... that's how you see it. I have to understand... but, Aaron... I've been thinking a little bit about the possibility, but I don't think it's a good idea."

…… What does that mean?

"Earlier, if you can make cheap and effective magic tools, you are trying to stop the development itself. I think he was talking about it."

"Exactly, but...."

"But what do you think about this?

That's how I put my palm medal on the table.

"What is this...?

Cheap and effective magic shield magic equipment, that's the finished product.

Aaron's mouth burst open.
