94 Operational Meeting 2
At a coffee shop in Miazen.
"You look like a thief in a backpack. Why don't you come with me?"
"It's a different person. I don't know. I'm a good citizen."
It would be the impact of last night. Shuiming, who is blamed for being a soldier on patrol, returns so in a manner incompatible with a soldier speaking out harshly.
But there's no way a soldier could pull back so easily.
"You think that makes sense! I'll do the research. Follow me now!
"No, no, no, no! I don't know! It doesn't matter!
"Lord Swimey, please don't..."
Stand up, Mizumi makes her limbs twinkle like a child. Fermenia, who sees it in the same seat, drops her shoulders with a shudder and what a complicated look.
But the patrol soldiers still won't pull back, just point a white gaze at him.
"What are you going to do with that?"
"............... no, I was wondering if you would go home frightened if you were childish..."
"No. Follow me."
"No, that's why it's different. I'm not an intruder."
His eyes glowed red just after Shuiming finished his mouth.
"Ugh, yeah? Oh, yeah...?
He takes his gaze and consciousness to the strong allusions he reveals, and the will of the soldier is relieved. Besides, Lefir, who was present, said he couldn't push, and showed him his ID in the coalition that Lemaire gave him.
"Lord Gendarmerie, would you look at this?
"... it shows the highest rank of a swordsman ID "
A patrol soldier who shouts a barbaric voice when he sees an identity card subtly issued by Refill. I guess I didn't even think as much as dew that a bunch of dubious men had this stuff. That amazing exchange reminds me of the epoch on the subject of Mido's deputy general.
"The man is with me. Let me assure you by this sword. If you're saying I don't believe you, I was wondering if you could check with Lord Lemeia of Xiao Dark Pavilion. Because she gave me this proof."
"Of the Seven Swords... I'm sorry for this!
That Lemaire, too, was trespassing that night. What an ironic story.
But the soldier, still unaware of it, left the store in awe.
"Thank you, thank you for your help."
"No. I didn't help you, Swimey. I helped him."
"I saved you, I'm a bad wizard..."
"What are you saying to me about trying to bewitch you earlier? You. Or are you thinking of yourself as a good wizard?
"Ugh..."
When asked so, it cannot be said that it is so. Then Refill turns his sermon face into something flamboyant. And
"It's a joke. You are a good wizard. [M] I guarantee it."
"Ooh..."
With the palm suddenly returned to the good one, the water lights replies as illuminated. It was against the rules that I could suddenly come.
- At present, the Mizumins were gathered in tea shop-like shops serving snacks.
Even so, not all of them, but only three of them, Mizumi, Fermenia and Refile. Liliana was late for the rendezvous, which she had initially decided, and she was not the only one here.
Meanwhile, the three of us who have already gathered are sitting in a chair, frowning uniformly and looking at ideas.
Fermenia opens her heavy mouth as she sits in a chair and surrounds the round table with an unscented look and roars yeah yeah.
"... you didn't have any information that might be useful to say about this"
"Right. Well, it's only natural that I spent a couple of days..."
"You could only hear about a thief breaking into the palace. We all only talked about the same thing about brave men"
From the day after Shuiming entered Miazen's palace, he had asked the Fermenians to help him gather information about Hatsumi and, in extension, about Miazen.
To check the situation of Hatsumi, it was no longer a certainty to break into the palace again, but I wanted to be able to do what I could before entering, and it was still her condition that was a concern for Shuiming.
That night she told me in conversation that she had amnesia. For this reason, I concluded that I should look ahead to find out how that happened and really whether that was amnesia, and over the course of two days I took the time to conduct an interview, but the results remain unscented.
Whether or not brave men's information was even laid down by decree. They all had only concise information, such as beauty, which was not helpful.
Leave your jaw at the table, make your weak face fuzzy and sigh, soft watery.
"I don't know if I can hear anything so far..."
"Not at all. Mostly I should have some rumors..."
Weird. For the inhabitants of different worlds, brave men are heroes who save their own world, so they are of concern to everyone. That's why most humans purchase information about brave men, but she was right. The hearsay didn't even come up.
The same thing about the intrusion, which seems to be well controlled and unknown to the city's residents. You don't want to spread the scandal about allowing thieves to break into the palace and even get away with it. There seems to be an extraordinary increase in the number of soldiers patrolling the city.
A sinister face, aligning bitter faces. In the meantime, Fufu Fermenia asks Shuiming.
"Lord Swimey. In the other world, what were you doing when these things happened?
"You were using a destination informer. Conne... I rarely had trouble with the information because I had a connection to accommodate the information with money"
"I see. Are you an informer..."
The snake path is a snake. The cake is a cake shop. It's best to rely on experts when it comes to gathering information, but there seems to be something Lephire thinks about that, too.
"I guess we can't have that kind of deal without money or the right kind of relationship. If you hang on to Lord Lemaire, he'll introduce you..."
"You'll be able to blow the information bill."
As Fermenia put it, those who deal in commerce with something that doesn't have a market like that tend to see it at our feet when there's no connection. It is particularly pronounced if you are stuck with cutting feathers, and if you are lucky enough to hit an unmerchant informant, a frigid existence such as an unmerchant informant cannot be an urban legend either.
"Me, too, was the guy who would blow the money."
"You went there, but you weren't close?
"I don't know if I'm close, but I'm a good customer. But he's a tough guy."
Germany has an illegal marijuana cafe in Frankfurt as its main place of activity. Its informants are well-eared, first-class as informants, and often use Shuiming. However, I honestly didn't want to admit that the requested amount was good because of the high price added.
"What kind of person are you?
"He's a freak who eats everything. Probably humans. No, you're not, just in case you might be human. I'm sure it's not a person."
"Ha...?
Listening to the confusion of Fermenia, I think of fu. Not that big eater, not to say he's not busy. No, wouldn't it be harder to find a decent acquaintance among the acquaintances over there? Only in the magic world.
The tea shop doorbell rings as the Mizumins talk about it like that.
All three are caught and turn around the front door, but there is no one at the entrance, and we finally find out who it is after following the signs.
The sound of the chair being pulled at the same time as I turned my attention to the signs that appeared. Liliana, the last of them, took a seat.
Are you back?
"Yes. I'm home. And it was very convenient for you, Mei Mei."
The emotions that appeared on her expression were thin, but Liliana looked surprised and impressed. Before we split up and looked for information, we handed out blank forms to everyone, but apparently it helped.
"How were the three of you?
Each answers Liliana's question.
"I didn't get much of anything useful. Not today, after all."
"Same goes for me"
"He talks to me...... mostly just stories with faint credibility rumors and flying footprints. The information from the Salvation Church of the Pledge of Request wasn't very fragrant, and you did well."
I haven't heard back from you in good color. Liliana, on the other hand, seems to have had results.
"I couldn't ask a lot either, but some"
"Like what?
"Yes."
Liliana snorts at Shui Ming who asks back. Replying with such an uneasy look, she takes out her notebook and states the information she has compiled.
"- Again, the information on the brave Hatsumi Kutiba doesn't seem to be out much in Ichii. You must have felt something about it..."
"That's crazy."
"Yes. It is inexplicable that there is no information out there about the brave, as Sumei put it. It may be a hundred steps away not to have information on a residential basis, because it is unlikely that the Church does not have information about the brave. Typically, the Church of Salvation has a lot of information about the brave because the brave will be accompanied mostly by Church humans, or else the Church and the deep-rooted humans will follow, and the reports of their activities will be detailed. Mr. Reggie had an exceptional part because of that situation, but in this case it seems to be because the Royal Miazen has a monopoly on Hatsumi Kutiba's information."
"The country?
"You probably want to mention the handles as soon as possible with no mouth out of the church. You can see Meersen's thoughts clearly."
So Fermenia, who usually brings hard information, is back in Bowes?
But today Liliana has a smooth tongue sometime. I usually follow and talk, but maybe this is normal, for example, when reporting on work.
"So it's about Hatsumi Kutiba, but he seems to be a type of person who doesn't use magic, and I think he knows Sumei, but he has quite a sword skill. The sword moves... Sure, Kurika-chan... Kurika-chan?
Liliana, who is not sure what she said, frowned and looked strange. "Yeah? Yeah?," he twists his neck twice and three times.
"Clarigarodorani phantom sword."
"That's it. And then again, as Sumei told me, I think Hatsumi Kutiba is amnesia."
"Did you get the back there?
"It seems like the soldiers I fought with used to hear her leaking things about her memories and anxiety to her peers, so I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with her regarding her memories. You might want to look at the possibility of brainwashing, as Sumei put it, but brainwashing using magic, not magic, on brave men with the protection of Yingjie summons is technically difficult to think about."
"I guess so. How can a brave man who has superior power over magic be magically incapable of talking?"
Shuiming hits Liliana snorting at Kokun with a mundane question.
"Nevertheless, the soldiers have spoken well"
"The soldiers told me about the martial arts of the Demonic Crusade. Because I want to talk about basics everywhere, and people like that talk about other things when they have a fever."
"I see. He said he let me talk to him."
"You're less alert for people my age."
And Liliana, who can say with a clear face and leave. Around using his appearance, this hand thing seems to be a completely first-rate spy already. I'm usually familiar with people, but if it's my job, I guess I can talk to them the same way I do.
Well, I think I've got enough to get, and Mizumi tried to thank her for the arrow tip,
"From here, then, we need information about each individual who is a fellow Hatsumi Kutiba. First up is Lamb Seal martial artist Gaius Fauburn. His name was originally known, so there's more to be done about his abilities. Not long ago, when Larseam was attacked by demons, he rushed into Miazen's palace and directly sued the king for a march. I didn't get a colorful reply from the King then, but I hear Hatsumi Kutiba offers her help and then she's a good companion. The second is the Wizard of the Autonomous Province, Selfi Fittigny. There are many mysteries about her, but with a wizard called by the Autonomous Province to summon Hatsumi Kutiba. I am good at wind and ice magic, and in the Autonomous Prefecture I have two names:" wind and snow ". And this is a personal look, but to discuss it from the fragments of information obtained, it seems like it's a half elf. How to distinguish an elf from a half-elf will be colonial, but I was wondering if it would be definitive about this"
How dare that information pop up? Is it correct to say that in this case we can look into it and come rather than. Whatever it was, Shuiming, Fermenia, Refill and Alignment opened their mouths, and they didn't pinch a word for anything they were taken aback.
"- Third, I'll be her last mate, but I'm Weitzer Larheusen. As the first prince of Meersen, the order of succession to the throne is first place. He is one of the seven swords with two names of purple clouds, famous for his fierce battle with His Highness Titania Lute Astel in the ritual of the Seven Kings of Kenbu the previous year, and as a swordsman defeated as a good fight. He spilled it into the arms of Hatsumi Kutiba's sword, and he's following it like a squire."
Sumiaki is surprised that Liliana even looked into the information of Hatsumi's people.
"... you've even looked into that"
"Because I thought I needed it"
That's what the former Intelligence Department belongs to. Now we may have figured out what she meant when she was named Twelve Yukie.
Liliana is pretty good too, but other interesting stories were popping up.
"Even so, as I was saying, Tia is amazing."
One of the seven swords. Moreover, it is just as true that he is victorious over the prince of the kingdom of the sword. If you had all that skill, you'd be in the right place.
"Her Royal Highness took part in a small battle between Chardock and Astel a few years ago and annihilated Chardock's army in the morning rush. From the way things were then, the brave name was blasted for mutilating the enemies that lived side by side with the night."
"I see. So you have two names: Thin"
"Yes."
Fermenia seems to be proud of her country's princess's martial arts, with a rich breast.
And you know the ritual and the doings of the Seven Kings Sword Martial Arts, Lefir continues and opens his mouth.
"Moreover, in that tournament Princess Titania was the result of third place after Lord Lumaia. That's what I talked about when I put you in third place at that age."
"Also, His Majesty Armadiyaus used to be named after the Seven Swords."
"King...... that's too tanuki, isn't it, that osan? You were so strong..."
That was just water in my sleeping ear. That's how strong Teatania is. Though it was a unique sword move, I can think enough about Armadiyaus being strong - but what can I say, Astel thought it was a country with quite no personality, but surprisingly it was a country with a strong sword.
"And first place, by the way?
"Uh... well, that's a pretty good problem..."
Fermenia blurs her verbal butt for some reason. What the hell is wrong with the number one swordsman? Liliana hesitates to speak up before Shuiming asks.
"Fermenia, you know, there's more to it...?
"Oh, that's fine. But what information?
Liliana. Are you still purchasing any more information? When the Mizumins pay attention, she opens her mouth again.
"Yes, regarding the security situation at the palace."
"Eh!?
Shuiming makes a stunning and weird voice. Meanwhile, Lefir shows a difficult face half shy of Liliana's ability.
"... Ri, Lily, did you get that information too?
I think this is the most necessary and important thing?
"............... well, you do. It sure is."
Sure, I agree with you, Refile. Liliana's pointing was the past, and they all didn't make a sound.
That's because it originally bracketed information that no one could buy, but I didn't expect you to look into it.
"After all, yesterday Sumei entered the palace, and the security of the castle seems to be strengthened. Two more people everywhere in the morning. There are three more people at night, with frequent shifts. To prevent a replacement with a suspicious person, right? There also seems to be an increase in patrols around the palace, placing a large number of high-powered swordsmen, wizards and patrol soldiers at night. I don't think it's enough to take..."
"Don't do anything about it."
"Yes. And it's Hatsumi Kutiba's own security situation, but since then, it seems to be under constant protection"
I guess, Fermenia, Lefir snorts, too. It was foreseen in that night's failure, but still...
"You're a little troubled."
"Right."
Fermenia agrees with the roaring Mizumi. If it comes with protection, you can't be alarmed. This one just goes to talk, but he sees it as an enemy over there, so if he exposes it, he could attack you instantly. I'd say the conversation's difficulty in success has increased considerably, just because Mizumi doesn't want to appeal to too many abusive means either.
Then Liliana narrowed the left eye of the amber collar, as she also said this was important,
"I just don't know why, but I hear Hatsumi Kutiba can be alone after it's late at night for a long time"
"Is that a serious story?
"Not from what I've heard, so I was wondering if it would be possible for the two of us to make contact alone if that continued now"
"Right..."
Sure, then I can bring it safely from contact to conversation. Naturally, I may receive resistance from her, but the chances of getting rough will drop to each step.
Even if...
"... what's up?
Liliana wonders about the Mizumins, who stare at her, and asks what that means. But what I want to ask is this way. How can I even purchase such in-depth information?
He said, "No, that's not true."
When Shuiming sends that praise, Fermenia tells him to agree too.
"Should I leave this to Lily in the future?"
"Right. Liliana, you want something to drink?
"Yes, I haven't spoken in a long time, so I'm thirsty..."
Sure, I got a story to talk to you about sometime today. And he would be pretty tired because he was also gathering information.
When Shuiming asks the clerk for honey water, Liliana asks her modestly.
"Um, sooo good, did it help?
"Oh, I stood too much. Thanks."
"Good, sir."
Honey water is brought before Liliana, who looks happy.
After a short break in the store, Mizumi and the others left the store after completing their accounting.
Outside the store, the sky had already turned to a burning cedar color, and the western sun was shining a tight orange glow.
And before the sun went down, as the four of us walked down the street in ridicule, trying to get back to the quarters, we accidentally found two people who looked familiar.
Walking in line from the front was a woman of the cat family Beastman with peachy hair dressed in monastic clothing and a girl with rugged hair as long back as Liliana or Refill when she was little, and a tattoo-like line from cheek to neck.
"Huh?"
"Oh?"
The eyes of Shuiming and the nun of the Beast meet. And synchronized are voices like when you encounter unexpected coincidences.
Yes, those women were Sister Clarissa of Salvation Church, whom she met in the Empire, and Gilberto Griga, a Dwarf woman.
Look at the face you find out, and the water lights reflexively hang up.
"Isn't that Mr. Clarissa?"
"Fair enough, Master Swimey. It's strange to see you here."
"I'm out of time"
That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna give Clarissa a mild interview, Mizumi. When he finished his respectful greeting to her, he looked next door and
"Wow... is Gilberto with you?"
"Naai Temeye Yin Wet Toddler Sex. What did you just say, Ola? Besides, what kind of advice do you call it? Ah?"
I don't like what Shuiming said, cut the mench and eat and hang the gilbert. Like smoking her like that, Shuiming flickers her hands.
"Yes, yes, shut up, shut up"
"You and Clara and Atai are totally different, aren't you?
"Because I say you're a scattered pervert about people. So, what are you doing here?
"That's none of your business. What are you doing over there?
"Oh?"
"Oh?"
Triangle your eyes and stare at each other, Waterming and Zilberto. Fermenia greets Clarissa with room for them to hang out.
"I'm out of time, Sister. It was helpful the other day."
Clarissa gracefully thanks her for getting into arbitration at the Empire's Xiao Dark Pavilion.
"No, silver-haired people are out of business."
"My name is Fermenia Stingray. Sister Clarissa, please know me."
In contrast to those who continue to stare at each other, this is a meeting and a peaceful exchange in itself.
Gilberto kept his eyes open when he realized what was going on in the meantime. That gaze, apparently, is pointing behind the water.
"Refi -... l?
"... ugh, yeah. Long time no see, Jill."
Refile smiles and says hello to Gilberto. With that said, I hadn't seen them for a while before the end of one incident in the Empire.
Clarissa has noticed, too, or is tilting her little neck, as she has seen even in strange things.
"Oh? Oh? Oh?
"It's been a while. Sister."
As Refill greets Clarissa, he screams disturbingly as Gilberto now says he is in the middle of an admirable stunner.
"Oh, are you Refill after all!? What do you mean!? Why are you getting so big!?
"Uh, that's..."
"Refille. You've grown a lot in a while."
"No, Sister, that's not what I meant..."
Clarissa is delighted to grow with both hands together in a pungent way. Refill having trouble coping with her and Jilberto barely penetrating.
"This bogus cat! I know we're not talking about where we grew up! They're too big for anything! Or Refile, what the hell is this..."
"There are circumstances... or Jill, I think I've told you a few times?
"Hmm? Hmmm.................. Aah! Yeah, hey, sure. You said something about what you looked like before. I thought it was a child's potato and listened to it..."
Remember what Refill told me, Gilberto, who can say yes and leave. What a fitting thing to hear, but to her unwieldy attitude like that, Refill still drops his shoulder disappointingly.
"You're probably terrible too..."
"Mind your own business! It's good to see you back!... Well Atai, I care that Refill has grown..."
Gilberto flips from a rampant attitude to reveal a blatant disappointment.
"Why not?
"Ha... 'Cause Atai's cute Refill is bigger than Atai, huh?... I didn't know I couldn't feel that indescribable feeling of hugging..."
"Call me a pervert about you..."
Shuiming puts in a shouting voice. Every time I met him, I was obsessed with toddlers, but I didn't know he was putting his evil thoughts on the shelf.
Then Gilberto changed his face like a young man,
"Shut up, de pervert! Atai is fine. Atai is fine. I'm not as distraught as you are. Ever... more than that, Refill! Be as small as you were right now! And give Atai a hug!
"Jill! Don't be lame!
"Not impotent! Just hurry up!
"Jill..."
To Jilberto, who clung around and making a scene and poking at the impotent challenge, Refill makes a crying voice to show off his weakness. I'm sorry.
Liliana, on the other hand, who was pulling in without even hiding behind the watering, turns her gaze to the same way she sees it in the fire across the shore.
"Refile, that's tough..."
Then, apparently, Clarissa noticed her presence, tilting her neck and peeking in.
"Oh? That one..."
"Oh, uh, she..."
I can't say good things to you, Mizumi, and you get all worked up. She also had trouble excusing herself because she lives in the Empire, but surprisingly, Clarissa seemed to know about Liliana.
"You're the daughter of Colonel Rogue of the Imperial Army."
To be said, Liliana, who rounds her eyes.
Do you know me?
"Your father always came to pray, so I know."
"The colonel..."
He didn't even know about that, Liliana. Speaking of which, when I first went to an imperial church, I remember seeing Rogue with Refill. I think Mitsumi knew it had something to do with it.
Gilberto seems to have known more about Liliana, as well as about the incident, and even as he has trouble hanging words, he gives Liliana a word of care.
"Uh, what, that was a disaster in the case"
"No......"
"Atai lives in the Empire, too. If there's anything you can do, don't hesitate to say it."
"... thank you"
Gilberto is also guessing, and Liliana bows her head in apology to her as she slaps her shoulder. Somehow after the seemingly unexpected exchange ended, Gilberto looked up at Mizumi and asked.
"So? Why are you guys in the coalition?
"Tourism. We've settled the Empire case, and we're all going out on a distraction."
"Heh? That's a pretty special win for your proposition."
"I don't know about you..."
Lifting the corner of his mouth, Shuiming lets his temples flare with exasperation on his insulting grin, Jilberto. Thinking that a lot of words and two are women who are stubborn, Lephile said,
"How did Sister and Jill get into the Union?
"We are tourism at work"
"Clara and Atai have always been close. Atai has an acquaintance Dwarf in Weapon Shop Street, so he's supposed to say hello."
"I had an inspection of the Salvation Church in the Union, so I visited Meersen with him at my convenience."
"Were you..."
Lefir exhaled with admiration at the two explanations.
And after a lot of public talk on the side of the road, the two walk in the direction where the Mizumins came from.
After dropping them off as they left over dusk, Shuiming gave them a surprised look.
"No... there's been an unusual coincidence, mon"
"Right. I can't believe we're meeting the Sisters in Meersen."
Fermenia snorts at Shuiming's whining.
Then he looked up at the eastern sky, where Refile began to darken.
"It's time for us to go back. It's twilight."
"Yes."
In keeping with Liliana's reply, before the sun set, Mizumings hurried to the dormitory of the night pavilion.
