Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

The city has changed enough to follow Demb's lead.

Small lined houses with broken walls and roofs inside.

"Be careful, there are a lot of noisy people around here.

"Okay.

It's a big city, and this kind of place will come out anyway.

The costumes of the people who go along have also changed to plain clothes, and some of them are like bandits.

The number of people living below has increased, and thin children can be seen in the shadows of the city.

"Many people were saved thanks to Gonzo. But still... there are still areas and people that haven't been affected by Gonzo's activities.

Those who don't know if they're alive or dead lie on the ground, and Deb looks at them and says so with a sharp expression.

"... I'm almost done.

A few moments later, Demb said so with his face forward, but there are hardly any buildings around and they are not popular.

It just continues to grow with the tall grass.

Master...

Nil is also watching the situation and being alert.

It was a trap... and I was beginning to think that I was going to trap you with Sakura's disease...

Gakko...

When an iron door opens, a part of the grass shakes with a rattling sound.

"Demb.

"I brought it in.

Deb answers to a voice he hears from nowhere.

"Come in."

Hee.

Demb goes straight into the grass.

As they arrived, there were holes in the ground and the stairs continued downwards.

"Let's go.

He shouted at Nil, who had not yet resolved his vigilance, and descended into the basement.

Follow Demb, who has a lantern hanging on the wall, down to the basement, where he reaches a small basement.

Rats seem pretty cramped.

"Well done. Demb."

In the basement was a red-eyed demonic male with red hair on his back.

Wearing worn ragged kimonos, I would be a member of the lower people from the standpoint of my outfit, but I am wearing a muscular body.

"You saved Gonzo's life?

…………

"No, I'm sorry. You should name it first.

I'm Tiga. He is one of the people who currently carves out Gonzo's workplace.

Forgive me for wording.

"... I'm Sinya. This is Nil, Rat.

"I've heard rumors. First of all, thank you for saving Miss Gonzo.

He's irreplaceable to us.

"I did what I liked.

"Even so.

"... what the hell is this place?

And the basement. It's too unnatural. Besides, there is an iron door, and it is not something that can be made by the people below.

"It's hard to explain... it's like a secret base. I use it when interacting with other people that I don't want to know about.

Originally, there was a mansion directly above this. It was demolished, but this basement was the only one left. I use it.

"Interaction between the lower people?

The lower people basically don't flock. I heard it's normal because it's a world of eating or eating...

"When Gonzo did everything he could, he said that the lower people were the lower people, and if they didn't come together, they would die... Thinking about it now, if you put together a few dozen people, you can do more than one. It was only natural...

Anyway, we, the Lower People, have formed a group with some of them. Well, most of them are connected to the workplace.

"What are you doing in that group?

I won't forgive Gonzo for abusing his blood, sweat and tears.

"Whoa! Don't be such a killer!

Gonzo made it for me. You're not going to abuse it.

Normally, when I get a job, I just allocate it within the group, or I allocate staff replenishment when I need them.

"Usually...?

"Oh, I'm monitoring the area around Sakura's Mansion and using it to reflect that information to everyone.

"... I see.

It is more efficient to be vigilant as a group than to each of the lower people.

"Many of them were saved by Sakura-sama. When I told you this story, the sympathizers gathered quite a bit. If we can share the information well, maybe there's something we can do...

That said, the opponent is said to have attacked the Shiki Mansion, a rumored demon squad recently. It's a tiny bunch of us downstairs... but we have to do nothing.

"... actually, what do you think? The Demon Squad is moving.

"I don't know if I'm clear. However, there are a few stories about seeing these squirrels around the Mansion.

…………

"I haven't made a move yet, but I'm sure the Mansion is being targeted.

"Do you know why?

No...

Tiga slowly shakes her neck to the side.

"I don't know anything. They said they saw him. They lost him right away.

I wonder if you can't catch up with the skinny feet of the lower people.

"You met Sakura-sama, right?

Ah.

"Did our behavior hurt Sakura's mood...?

Tiga looks really worried and asks with her eyebrows raised.

"I think it's okay.

I don't think she noticed.

Siden may have noticed, but leaving it unattended would have at least proved harmless.

"I see! That's good!

Tiga smiles happily.

"Besides..."

That's right. It's about Dark Blossom. I know where it's blooming.

"Really?

"I'm not lying.

That's how I took out the withered flowers. It was put in a small wooden box, and if I touched it, it would collapse.

"This?

"Oh, it's dead, but it's dark.

…………

I activate Appraisal Magic on the spot.

"Oh, hey?!

"It's okay. I'm just looking into it.

Tiga was anxious that I was about to do something to the dead dark flower, Nil explains.

[Dead Dark Blossom... The dark bloom that appears in the legend of Yoshiki Bloom is dead.

No doubt. What this man is saying is true.

Pickup!

Event Occurred!... collect the Four Ones.

Time limit… 5 months

Achievements… Collect Yoshiki Hua and create a panacea.

Rewards...????

Accept?

Yes, no.

Event notifications here?

If we follow this information about the legend of the Four Ones Hua, we can create a panacea. Event notifications jumped the possibility at once.

Instead of clues as to how to treat Sakura, we may have found a solution.

We still don't know if the panacea will work for Sakura's disease, but it should work much better than what's written in the event notice.

"Master?

"Definitely. This is a dead thing of dark flowers.

"So!?

Ah.

Nil joyfully joins hands.

"How do you know?

Questioning Tiga.

"It doesn't matter now.

There is no doubt that this dead flower is dark. I figured that out.

Well, that's true too. As long as you believe me. You guys have a plan to collect Yoshiki Hana, right?

We were talking about Yoshiki Hua after leaving the pharmacy. Tiga already knows about it... and she won't underestimate the underworld's intelligence network.

You can trust these people now.

I can't tell you about Sakura just because I trusted you, but I'm sure you'll be okay with your vigilance.

If the Demon Squad were in their hands, there would have been some movement when we got in here.

"Just in case.

"Now... now Sakura-sama..."

"Still, why are you here?

If that's all you have to say, you don't have to talk in a place like this.

"... as a matter of fact, we're not the only ones looking for Shiki Hana.

"Well, if it's a panacea, I want everyone's hands out of their throats.

A tree of gold is a flower of gold without gold. I want everybody.

"If it were ordinary people, we wouldn't be so careful.

"Whoa... maybe..."

"Oh, we're looking for the Demons.

The Demons are looking for Yoshiki Kawa...?

You can't make a panacea where you're looking.

Does it mean anything to individual flowers themselves? No, did you find a way to save it well...?

If that's the case, make a panacea and give it to me....

"Surely it's not good to be understood. Who else knows about the darkness?

"No, just me and Deb. The Demon Squad didn't find out... either.

Don't worry...

It is possible that we have already acquired the information of Darkness.

If you've already found the other three species and you're trying to keep them out of the hands of others... stuff them.

"We have to hurry...

First, I want to make sure I get Dark Blossom. Where do I go?

"... you won't know where it is, so I'll show you tonight.

"Please, keep an eye on the Sakura Mansion.

"Okay.

But if I tell Siden about this, he might be able to use the lower people a little better... No, because they're not connected to Siden, they should be ignored by the Demons. If you cooperate poorly, the people below may be harmed.

"If anything happens in the future, can we let Gonzo know?

"Oh, but... I don't want to get in the way of Gonzo's journey if I can.

"Sakura is indispensable to the road. Gonzo is also moving a lot now. I need you to be careful not to let the Demon Squads understand and coordinate with Gonzo.

"... okay.

Perhaps Sakura and Siden are being watched by the Demons. If you get close enough to keep us alert, you won't be able to move.

It is equally impossible for Siden to stand up and move.

So... we'll gather Yoshiki Hana and have Gonzo work with the lower people in this city to follow the demon squad's movements... is this the best...?

Better talk to someone who knows about the island than think about it here.

"We'll be back once.

"Okay.

Meet me at the rendezvous point before leaving the basement.

It was good to have progressed at once, but there was too little information on the Demon Squad to know how to move.

"Are the Demons looking at us?

"I don't know. I've seen Sakura... I think he's still being observed from somewhere.

"Hmm... the smell is mixed up all over the city, so I don't even know..."

It doesn't make much sense to disguise with a fake ring... because it doesn't change even the ethnicity...

"Assuming they're watching, it's better to move. If night goes by and becomes less popular, Rato will be easier to judge. Let's go back to the inn now anyway.

"Yes."

After all, I went back to the inn, watching my surroundings.

Darkness will be available tonight, but the problem is with future movements.

Gonzo is the only one I can trust right now. Besides, it's exclusive to this city.

If you go to pick up Shiki Hua, you will leave the city and run around the island.

In the name of sourcing supplies, it would be impossible to leave the city.

It doesn't matter if we go looking for Yoshiki Hana alone. However, it would be helpful if someone with a plot of land could stay with me...

"Would you like to write to Miss Gonzo?

"That's right... I want to talk to you for once.

Should I deliver it?

"Rato?

"I remember the smell of Gonzo. I think we'll find out soon enough.

That's a wolf... awesome.

"Then... should I just write down that I want to meet and talk to you once? Can you keep it discreet?

"Easy and easy!

Buzz buzz!

Rat's chest stretched with thunder.

As soon as the letter is tied to the fabric on Rat's neck, Rat leaves.

"Master.

After dropping Rato off, Nil talks with a serious face.

"What's wrong?

"... Sakura-sama's disease. Make sure to treat it.

I'm going to do it without being told... but I think Nil dared to say it again because he thought otherwise.

Nil was in a situation similar to Gonzo's.

You've lived as a slave for nearly a decade, and you've seen the nasty side of the world I don't even know.

For Gonzo, Sakura and her family saved me, and I'm sure Nil has a lot to wear with me.

I see. I don't know if it's the Demons, but can you let them use it?

Yes!

Lat came back after a while.

Gonzo wants to talk about something, so I'll be right there.

I see. Thank goodness. Thank you. "

Did I help?!

"Oh, always.

When I stroke around Rato's neck, I close my eyes with pleasure.

Waiting for equipment and items to be verified... Gonzo arrived when the sun began to set.

"Sinya.

"Gonzo, how are you?

"I have a lot of information.

Gonzo, who came into the room, sat with a steep face and told me about what he had looked into.

"First of all, let's talk about recent demon squad trends.

To summarize what Gonzo told me...

Firstly, as for the overall movement of the Demon Squad, it seems that they are still attacking demons who are critical of the identity system, and it seems that it has become quite a big problem among demons.

Genjiro told me about this, and I knew about it.

The new information is that the Demons have been moving around outside the city lately. It is thought that this is probably moving towards the collection of Shiki Hua...

I didn't know why I was targeting Sakura, but it seems that there has been little movement since Siden returned to the Mansion. There is no difference between this and Deb's story.

And one more thing. He told me about the source of funds for the Demon Squad. This is completely new information.

According to Gonzo's information, some of the civilians are helping the Demons.

Why help me say that it is a group to divide civilians and demons into separate identities?

Dai (crazy), the demon told me to pull you up.

If most of the Demon Squad is made up of Demons, I don't know how much I want to believe it... but do you really think that the opponent who is complaining about the isolation of identity differences will pull us up? If so, they're quite optimistic.

Funders are basically merchants, and among the civilian population, there are only those who have money. If you try to cut this place off, maybe you can't. If we switch to the others, that's it.

"It's going to be hard to cut off the funding.

"I think so, too. The Demon Squad cannot be stopped after the gold move.

"Because I'm a demon in the first place. The money will be abundant.

"Next, we will talk about Banai and Magassa who were at Master's place.

Gonzo trapped people. He was interrogating Genjiro, so he threw up some information.

First of all, it seems that the Demons have already taken in quite a few demons, and some names have come up.

The name of a pretty famous house also appeared, and Genjiro said he had to deal with it carefully.

Nevertheless, selling people who are supposed to be friends so easily... is it because they say they're cute... or because Genjiro's interrogation was terribly painful... or both.

"I know one more thing.

It's about the garbage.... "

"The man in the mask... was he?

"Didn't you hear?

Apparently, he left the city.

I have heard from some people that they witnessed it outside the city. That said, I don't know my face with a mask, so it's subtle whether it's just me or not... "

"A man named Garak doesn't seem to be just moving against the identity system. There must be something else going on.

"We'll look into that from now on. I didn't have very powerful information, but this is the result today.

"I see... I see.

Now it's my turn. I've got some pretty important information.

"Are you talking about the Demons?

"Yes, but... it's a way to treat sakura.

"Ha?! Is that true?!

I'm pretty surprised it was an unexpected story,

"You're not supposed to tell lies.

"In what way?!

"Do you know the legend of the Four Ones?

"Isn't it the legend of Shiki Kawa...?"

Gonzo was obviously depressed when the story of the brow saliva came up.

"It's just a legend. We can't find it first, and if we find it, we'll find a way to carry it...."

Gonzo's face and words stopped there.

"No... if it's Sinya, there's an inventory!

"Have you noticed?

"No, but... in the first place, Shiki Kawa is not an imaginary plant..."

Gonzo's face became brighter and darker again.

"You think we're going to talk about this without proof?

"... no way! Didn't you find it?!

"Oh, it's dead, but I found the Dark Blossom. Even if you say you found him, it's not me, it's people like Tiga and Demb."

"Tiga and Demb...? Sure... I feel like I used to be in the same workplace.

When I left my workplace, I was still new... "

"Maybe Tiga and Demb.

"But... where the hell did you find such a thing..."

"I can see that tonight. They know where it's blooming.

"I don't want to go with you!

"That's what I thought. But perhaps, the dark blossoms are outside the city. You all right? You all right?

"Gumu....."
