It's been about an hour since the four of them started buying, and they're talking about going back to the inn...

"If...."

A skinny, shy tribe of women appears before the four.Will I be in my midteens?

"... what do you want from us?"

Pilte will reply immediately.I've been called to beg a few times, and I'm not surprised.But what she wanted was not money or food.

"Would you buy me...?"

"Er...."

Some of those living in extreme poverty sell their bodies and earn money.In the neighborhoods of the city where people with asthma live, it is one of the sights that women stand at night corners of the street that is quite often seen.

But for the first time, Heinelinde, Pilte, and Sazana are women, and Isas is the only one who sees a party called a man and tries to speak up.

Without knowing their relationship, Isas doesn't seem to be in trouble with the woman, and there's no advantage in daring to speak up for this party.

Moreover, Isas is not the one the woman is speaking to, Heinelinde.I don't know what it means.Perhaps he has such a special sexual habit, but Heinelinde is normal.I don't have any strange sexual habits.

"Ah! No! Well! That's not what I meant, as a workforce!"

"Ah, uh... that's what happened."

First of all, I was relieved not to say that, but not many women sell themselves into the workforce.Moreover, as long as it is a human race, it is not excessive.

Because I don't have that much power, and there are overwhelmingly fewer jobs that can be done as a labor force than men.

"I don't have enough manpower."

"It's not about manual labor, it's about gathering information….I'll gather all the information I need while I'm in the city. "

What she wants is an informant. That's what I mean.

"... why did you do that?"

"I've heard a lot about it while I was walking around the city..."

Heinelinde and the others were asking the store clerk about everything at the same time as shopping.

Not only about Heinelinde, but also about the city and its surroundings.Rough information around here, including the economy.

He saw Heinelinde and the others somewhere, heard a lot about them, and came to sell himself.

"... I'm sorry, we can handle this ourselves."

"Ah, you know!"

Heinelinde and the others leave the scene, laughing back at the woman who is still trying to sell herself somehow.

"I've seen beggars a few times, but I've never seen anyone like her."

"Yes. If it weren't for this situation, it might be interesting for you to help, but we can't use outsiders.

Tomorrow we will gather information on our own feet. "

"Yes."

On that day, I returned to the inn, and from the next day, Heinelinde and the others decided to walk around the city to gather information.Because it's such a big city, it takes a lot of time just to ask around, but there's nothing I can do about it.

So the Heinelindes left the inn. But there...

"Good morning!"

A woman of the tribe stood.

"Er... you said no, right?"

"I'm confident! Please buy me!"

A woman screams disturbances in front of the inn.

No matter how many Heinelindes disguised themselves to hide their faces and keep them out of sight, if there is a woman who says such things without looking at them, they will be noticed.

"Hey, come here a minute."

When people around them start to look at Heinelinde and the others, they hurry to take the woman to a less popular place.

"Do you... want to embarrass us?"

"No! I'm not going to!

I just want you to use it!Please! Please! Please! "

If I refuse here, I will have trouble coming to the inn and screaming again and again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Why are you so desperate to sell yourself on hold?"

"... I want medicine."

"Medicine?"

"I have a little brother.My father doesn't work, he drinks all the time, and my mother works to support him, me and my brother... but if he does that, it's only natural that he gets sick. "

"Is that your mother's medicine?"

"No, my mother soon got better.No... it might be more right to say that you can now move rather than get better...

But at that time, my brother..... "

"You think my mother's disease has moved on?"

"... I don't know. I don't have any money for doctors..."

"... and on behalf of a handful of mothers, he wants to make his own money and buy his brother's medicine."

"... yes."

Looking at a woman's face doesn't look like she's lying.

As for my daughter Heinelinde, I know how her mother feels.If your child were sick and suffering because of you, you would blame yourself terribly.Still, no matter how much you work, you can still do it in your daily life.If you don't have the money to buy medicine, you'll blame yourself extra.

I wish I could break up with such a husband right away, but that's my problem.

It won't change when Heinelinde and the others tell you to think about the kids.If a stranger told me to change, it would have changed a long time ago.

Heinelinde and the others don't have that much money left, and they're on their way, so it's not like they're benefiting others.

"Why us?"

"Won't you laugh...?"

"Laugh? Why?"

"Well, well... something resembles my mother..."

That's how a woman looks at Flickering and Heinelinde's face.

Although Heinelinde hides his face, he's not wearing a mask, he's just wearing a deep hood.There's nothing strange about seeing your face somewhere.

"... I see. If that's all I'm saying, I'll ask you for some work."

Tell that to the woman who is watching the flickering and Heinelinde in a shy manner.

"Oh, really?!"

A woman whose eyes sparkle and delight.

Dear Heinelinde...

"It's all right, because I don't want to talk about it."

Isas is worried from behind, but there is more to know than anything else about Arten-Arabol.This is the result of thinking that I should leave it to you.

Because I'm pathetic, it's not good for a woman to just give money, and I can't be that popular, so I got a job.

"My name is Tetra.Thank you very much. "

The woman named Tetra has long brown hair with brown eyes and run-down clothes.

Even in the magical world, the poor exist, and it is not a particularly unusual sight, but it is not a pleasant sight.

As for Heinelinde, although he was not directly involved in politics, as a person in a close position, he thought that the suffering of the poor was at least….

It was Tetra who got me to do my job, but I was better at gathering information than I expected.

If you ask me to look into it, I will thoroughly look into the details and bring it to you in a few days.I can say that my arms are too good for a mid-degree. Besides....

"... that's the result of the investigation.If you have any questions, I'll look into them immediately. "

"No, I'm fine. Thanks to Tetra, I know a lot about the neighborhood."

"Thank you very much."

"Still... Tetra is so verbal.I'm a good informant, and I don't look like a girl. "

"It's... actually, my house was originally a noble house."

"Noble?"

"Yes, there are many things in between, depriving me of my nobility and giving up..."

I heard that Tetra's father had drunk it, but perhaps even if he failed in some business, he could be expected to be deprived of his nobility.

"That's right."

"By the time I arrived, I was still noble, so I had learnt all about words and things to do.

But my brother.... "

"Was he born after he was stripped of his nobility?"

"Yes, I was born at a time like that, so I think it overlapped, and my father and mother were pretty tough."

"Your father used to be strong, too."

"Even now, as long as I can decide what to do..."

For Tetra, there is only one father.The choice of abandoning it easily will not be possible.

"Why are you so good at gathering information?"

"My father was originally a business-centric, so I kind of know how information flows and how it gathers."

For merchants, information is the most important thing.Tetra seems to perceive the flow.

At this age, perhaps you are already showing your business talent.

"We have a good job, and if we have that kind of talent, there will be a lot of people who want it, not us."

"I'm glad that's the case… I'll do my best!"

"Yes, is your brother okay?"

"Thanks to you, I was able to buy medicine, and I'm on my way.Thank you very much. "

Tetra lowers her head deeply.

"No, I'll take care of the next job."

Yes!

The Heinelindes will be staying in the city for a while, but Tetra will continue to work under the Heinelindes for a long time.

And it's about two months after I stayed in the city.

As the sun sets, Heinelinde rests in her room...

Dear Heinelinde!

"Suzanne, what's wrong? You're in such a hurry."

Tetra-chan!

Suzanne's unusual reaction was followed by Heinelinde's serious expression, leaving the room.

As soon as you get to Suzana, you head to the back of the hotel.And there's Tetra lying on a wooden table in pain.

And there is a big red stain on the side of the clothes.

"Are you hurt?! What's wrong?!"

"I don't know. When I find it..."

"I can't wait to get into therapy!"

There are stab wounds on the side of Tetra, from which blood flows out one after the other.

"That's not good..."

The stabbing wound is quite deep and it is a stabbing wound with something like a straight sword.It is not a wound that can be healed by the first aid of Heinelinde and others.

If we don't ask Tetra who did it and what happened, we won't know.

"Be careful!"

I don't know if I can hear Tetra, but just call to keep my consciousness from breaking.

"Pilte. Susana. Isas. Please magically keep it out of sight."

Yes!

Three people move quickly, blocking their vision with dark magic.

And...

Ugh!

Heinelinde bites his wound and tries to block it with extract from his teeth, just like he did with a slave elf woman.

Because it's deeper than the wound from that time, I didn't know if it would heal, but if I didn't, I'd definitely die.

When you open your mouth and look at the wound, the wound will gradually become blocked.

"I don't know if this is going to work, but let's see what happens."

"Got it."

Susana picks up Tetra and takes her to the hotel room.The owner of the inn looked disgusting, but after paying for the inn for one person and some plus, Niconiko and I pulled into the back.

"How's Tetra?"

"I have a little fever, but otherwise I think it is stable so far.I'm asleep now.From my point of view... "

"What happened...?"

………………

Heinelinde returns her words in silence.

"As far as the wounds are concerned, I can only imagine that someone has done it.I think I'm in some kind of trouble.... "

"Maybe it's just my father's.Shall I check on my father? "

"I wonder how much I can eat into parent-child relationships."

"But Tetra is dying."

"... if we move on our own, it could make things worse.Wait for Tetra to recover before you listen. "

"... okay."

The wound on Tetra slowly healed and finally woke up two days later.

"... uhh..."

"Tetra, are you up?"

"... Pilte...?...!!"

Tetra, who tried to get up, squeezed her side and distorted her face.

"The wound is not completely blocked yet, so don't force it to move."

"Wound... if you say so... I..."

Tetra has distant eyes that slowly remember what happened.

"I'd like to talk to you, but I'm going to call the mothers."

"... yes..."

With Tetra in bed, Pilte calls Heinelinde and the others.

"Tetra, you're up. I'm relieved."

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience..."

"It's okay. What happened?"

……………

Tetra narrowed her eyes and wondered whether her consciousness was still clear or if it was difficult to say.However, since it is impossible to talk about nothing, I will start talking slowly.

To summarize...

Tetra bought his brother's medicine and went home, as usual, for the reward he received from Heinelinde.

Then it seems that several men were waiting in front of the house.

There are three bad guys, not ordinary guys.

Looking at what happened, it seems that the drunk father was on business.

Men are angry with their fathers, so pay back the debts they made outside to hear about it.

I knew somehow that you owed money, but it seems that you borrowed it from someone you shouldn't.

Worried about what to do, the men push their father away.Then you hear your mother screaming.

When Tetra realized it was a debt... she immediately moved to help her mother.

Then, didn't you know that there was a young woman? The men changed the color of their eyes and told them to keep Tetra.

And his father shook his neck vertically against those words.

Tetra looked desperate.However, it seems that her mother managed to escape from Tetra.Three men chasing a broken heart Tetra.I managed to get to Heinelinde and the others, but they caught me on the way, and after intense resistance, one of the frustrated men pulled out his sword and got stabbed.

It seems that after the stabbing, the calm men escaped and the wounded Tetra came to Heinelinde and the others, even though they were full of wounds.

"That's right...."

"Um! I know you're not saying this!Help me... help me! "

Tetra complains of tear-mixing.

"... Tetra. We don't want to help you."

"Hmm?!"

In flow, Heinelinde and the others were supposed to help Tetra to become a group... but Heinelinde and the others didn't see any kindness in their eyes.

"Well, why..."

"You know best."

………………

"We know all about you.You'll see. "

When Heinelinde treated Tetra, she knew her past by drinking blood.

So Heinelinde saw why Tetra approached the Heinelindes.

"... you. The black dogs must have asked you to approach us."

"Eh!?"

Tetra came into contact with a black dog probably once or twice.I didn't think Heinelinde and the others would find out, but somehow they found out.I'm quite surprised at that.

"It just seems like you were telling the truth about your brother, father, and mother."

Most of Tetra's words were true.

The fact that my brother was sick and that my father drank it was a fact was read by the memory of blood.

It was true to buy my brother's medicine, but it seemed that the black dogs were asking me to monitor the Heinelindes and buy the medicine with the reward and the reward received from the Heinelindes.

"I know Tetra needed money to save his brother.Sometimes there was no other way.That's why I'm not gonna kill you.I don't hold a grudge. But we'll never help you again. "

"Nh......"

Tetra didn't collect or talk about the key information, so it didn't pass it on to the black dog, but it didn't change being betrayed.

And it's not the perfect weather to help a betrayed opponent.

"Sorry, but we've come this far.I decided to leave town. "

"That's not true..."

Blood memories aren't all you can see, just some glimpse.

I don't know if the story was true or false when Tetra was attacked, but it doesn't matter now.

"My father abandoned me... what should I do..."

"You think about it yourself.Even if what we just said is true, we don't want to go out with you anymore.

I will pay for this room until tomorrow, so please leave tomorrow. "

"My injury... I hope it heals soon."

"Whoa... wait!!!"

Heinelinde and the others leave the room listening to the words on their backs.

"... I'm sorry..."

"Yes, but I see that the black dog is in a hurry.I use it even for girls of other races.

Now we know we're targeting the information that the Vampires are collecting.

The fact that you let us grab the tail should also be communicated to the other side.You should think about doing something direct from here. "
