 Well, it was great to be able to prevent future problems from happening.
 Ms. Masetta, the woman who reacted when I mentioned Lakra's name.
 At first, she seemed to be reacting as a member of the Yugra cult, but she was clearly trying to find out what was going on.
 By guessing from prior information and leading her on, I was able to determine that she was the one who had the problem with Lakra, and I was able to calmly tell her off.
 At first, I was tempted to eliminate her mercilessly because of her hostility, but as I analyzed Ms. Masetta, I realized that she was a good person.
 People like her are sincere and make a lot of effort, but they tend to look at things from their own perspective.
 As long as they can communicate with each other, they are easy to get along with, but they are incompatible with Lakra.
 If there were more elements of passionate friendship, he would have been able to get along well with Lakra, but it would be wrong to ask that much of him from others.
 It's a good enough outcome to lower the hate for Lakra and make her look forward to the future.

"I feel like I'm watching a con artist at work.
How rude is that?

 And yet you look at someone like they're a criminal, Mr. Iliad.
 Wolfe looks as if he's been convinced of something.

"How can you throw that many words at a stranger you've never met before?
If you're not a secretive person, you'll be able to figure out who he is from that information. It's only because I said it sincerely that it resonated with you, Masetta.
If it were me, I'd think it smells fishy.
You would. But the Yugoslavs can see through lies. That's why it's easy for them to take people at their word. It's easier to communicate with them if you exaggerate your true feelings than if you think of tricks.

 In this sense, exaggerated lectures by religious people are very effective, if they come from the heart.
 I wonder if Shigeya Yugura took this into consideration when he gave this kind of technology to the Yugra cult.
 If he came to this world from the World War I era, he must not have known about Hitler's methods of inciting the masses during World War II.
 In Japan, the Imperial Japanese Constitution was the mainstay of the country.
 Well, it may be purely a lesson learned from life, but let's not think too much about it.

I think I've learned a lot from you because I've seen an unexpected side of you.
"Surprising? You were always like this on Tarz.
Is that what you were?
Do you have any idea the kind of face I had to deal with the knights and nobles who were accusing you?
You know, I've done that. But I think knights and nobles have a harder time communicating than the clergy.
Knights and nobles have their pride. If you play around with that, you can humiliate and humiliate the immature as much as you want.

 In fact, most of them could afford it.
 I didn't make them feel traumatized, I don't think.
 The Iliad is also in the TARDIS, so try to be as gentle as possible.

...... This is the kind of story that makes me afraid to ask for specifics.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
 Sir Léanor may not seem like much, but he's pretty good at what he does.
 It's no exaggeration to say that none of his men have died since he took over as Commander of the Order.
 Ilias is a badass boss who can act for the sake of his subordinates no matter how shameful or humiliating it may be.
 Well, there would have been no better place for him to develop his skills than in the Ragdoll Corps, so it's a win-win situation.

People like Mr. Masetta can make a lot of achievements for their efforts. It's definitely in everyone's best interest to keep her moving forward and let her walk.
You think very highly of her, don't you?
I told you I meant what I said. She has a good balance of talents and hard work. Except for a few, she's sociable, ambitious and reflective. He's an honor student who needs very little help, but he's got a lot of fire in him, and aside from his narrow-mindedness, he's a very likable person.
That being said, I do find him attractive.
I'm sure he'll end up with a much higher position than Lakra, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's sitting on the Archbishop's chair in the future.

 It's a waste of time for such a person to waste his life on Lakra.

"Shishou, is that man more attractive than Lakra?
"Masetha is the one I find attractive as a woman in social situations. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.
Ummm ......, that's a good point.
Wolfe is the one who's starting to use difficult words.

 The thoughtful face of Wolfe is also becoming quite intelligent.
 I wish I could make a better face. ...... No, let's not look at it that way just yet.

"Shishou, where's Wolfe?
"Shishou, where's Wolfe?" "It's a luxury to complain, but if you still want to, you can show a little more of yourself.
I'll try! I'll try! ...... Uh, I need an after-dinner snack!
Good progress, but don't end up like Lakra.
What would Lacla say?
She'd ask for a drink and a glass of wine.
Oh!
No, I don't think she'd go that far. ......

 After that, I bought some snacks and some souvenirs for Lakra and the others, but I asked him if he would like to have a drink with me. You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes. Wolfe was delighted.
 Of course, I rejected the drink.

 Iliad

 The blue demon king's invasion of the barrier, information about which has been circulating around the world, but the details of its outcome are largely unknown.
 According to the information we got, someone negotiated with the Blue Demon King and made peace with him.
 The King of Quama had no intention of accepting the terms of the treaty, but he tried to take a hard line and incurred the wrath of the Blue Demon King, who destroyed his defenses.
 He was forced to make his land into a battlefield, and was forced into a position where he had to accept the peace.
 The wall is currently being repaired, but it is believed that the strength of the wall will be reduced by many percent if it is only regenerated by earth magic.
 At the same time, Raheit disappeared, and is now being held in a prison in Quama Castle .......

He's that guy,.......



 For Mr. Rahite, the body is just a replaceable consumable.
 In the field of the secret art of transferring one's soul to another, there is no one better than Mr. Raheit.
 While soul transfer is powerful, it is also a double-edged sword that can cause very dangerous situations.
 When transferring to the living, the soul of another person directly interferes with the defenseless soul.
 Just thinking about the effects of this is horrifying.
 In addition, there is the compatibility with the body, and if the compatibility is bad, the body will die, or worse, the soul will be adversely affected.
 If it is to be put to practical use, it should require a great deal of work, such as disabling the target's soul. ......
 Rahite has completely ignored some of these processes and has been repeatedly transferring.
 That is why he can switch bodies at will and operate in various places.
 There is no one who is more talented in the dark than him, and I am always glad that I don't have to make enemies with him because he can carry out his operations in the middle of such a large country.
 For the time being, we need to pay close attention to the kind of person who captured Mr. Raheit.
 In the event that you've been captured, there's a good chance you'll quickly abandon your body and run away.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. ...... Hmm, is that it?
 The first old civilian talking to the adventurers of Liod: ...... Is that a merchant in appearance?
 You can use hearing enhancement magic to hear all the words in the tavern.
 However, as usual, the noise is very annoying, and I sincerely feel that it was worth the effort to train myself to pick up conscious conversations.

"I see you are a skilled adventurer. I have a question for you.
"What is it?
Can I check with your guild first?
...... period. If you have a request, go through the guild.
I'm planning to, but I'd like to check with my guild members first to see how much they're asking. Of course, if you cooperate with us, we'll consider appointing you to handle the request.
"Whether or not I'll accept it depends on the content. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

 The ...... code matches. You've succeeded in breaking out of prison, haven't you, Mr. Rahite?
 I've got a lot of questions I need to ask you, and I need to meet up with you soon.
 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
 Finish your meal quickly and leave the tavern first.
 Move to the back alley where you can watch the entrance to the tavern and wait for Mr. Rahite to come out.

Don't move.
What the hell?

 There's someone behind me, obviously calling out to me.
 What do we do? What do I do? There's no sign of a weapon, can I jump into the crowd and get away?
 ...... Don't get lost, run!
 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.
 If it's a physical attack, sense its presence and concentrate on evading it.
 You should be able to survive the initial attack.
 The person behind you, a man by the sound of his voice, shows no sign of moving even if he sees you running away.
 Should I turn around and check his face? No, my priority is to escape.

"Gefo!

 You receive a strong shock to the front.
 It's like running into a wall at full speed, no, it's exactly that pain.
 This is warding magic! I'm not sure what to make of this.
 I'm not sure what to make of this.
 You can't be complaining, you're going to get caught.
 Strengthen your legs with magic, you can jump over a few wards.

I can't let you get away with this.
"What?

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
 Something wrapped around my leg and ...... this is a chain and this is .......

You know me.
Do you know me? No wonder you're a Raheit pawn.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I've heard it's as bad as the Gillistas and the Pashlos.
 I'm not sure if I'm good enough, but I've heard he's as good as Gilista and Parshero.

"You can't kill yourself, sir.

 I can't get any strength in my body. ...... I'm losing strength. .......
 There's a knife in my hand. ...... What should I do?
 I'm sure Lahite will be able to ...... abandon you in this situation. .......

 I'll be back.

"Capture successful. Everything went according to plan.
Good job.

 We leave the tavern and meet up with Ecdysium and the others.
 This one, lying unconscious from Mikus' poisonous knife, is the first of our new leads.
 Even if Raheit wanted to use adventurers to cause chaos, he wouldn't be talking so much when everyone around him could hear.
 Then why did Rahite contact the adventurer in such a way that would draw the attention of so many people?
 It's easy to see from Rahite's point of view.
 It seems that Raheit usually uses the body of a custom-made child, but since it would be too conspicuous for him to operate in the form of a child, he takes on a variety of bodies in human habitats.
 It's not surprising that it's difficult to follow his footsteps, but it's not only his enemies that are unable to distinguish between him and his allies.
 This is why he uses certain gestures and conversations with adventurers to help them find him.
 He would station several allies in popular places frequented by adventurers, such as taverns and squares, and use their conversations as a sign that Raheit was here.
 What's more, Raheit changes his signs according to the guild to which he belongs.
 It was reported that they were talking about the same thing, but it was the same thing within the guild.
 There was a minor difference in the data of the Exequiks who were investigating Riode: "Asking about the price of the request", but the data of the Mixes who were investigating Morgana: "Asking about the rank of the suitability of the request".
 If everything is exactly the same, it's hard to escape the idea that there is a tendency to do so.
 However, if the content of the consultation is fixed for each guild, it is easy to notice that it is a sign.
 If the guilds don't disclose information to each other, there is almost no risk of being noticed, so let's not look for fault.


 In fact, Exoik and Mixu wouldn't have noticed it if they hadn't exchanged information.
 Once they realized it, the rest was easy. All they had to do was to instruct a civilian-like person they had prepared to perform the code.
 If there is anyone who can see the shape-shifting Rahite and reacts to the sign the moment he hears it, he is a bingo.
 If you want to make contact with him afterwards, you'd better not follow him too closely, or you'll lose him if you wait too long.
 So I figured he'd leave first and watch the entrance, and I had Ecdysium and the others set it up.
 All I had to do was pass along the man's description that I had identified through Eckdœk's chain, and voila!

"Lacula and Exoik, you carry this man. Mikus, have Ilias and Wulfe watch and help me capture these men.

 The reason for having a separate code for each guild was not only to prevent coincidences.
 If you have business with Riod, you sign for Riod's adventurers; if you have business with Morgana, you sign for Morgana's adventurers.
 This man, who reacted and acted on Riode's adventurer sign, is a member of Riode's guild and a guide for Riode's side.
 It is possible that one person remembers the affiliations of all the guild members, but considering that each guild has its own territory, it would be better to assume that each guild has its own guide.
 So I've been watching the tavern to see if anyone other than this man reacts.
 There were two other people who were trying to see what was going on, so I had Ilias and Wolfe keep an eye on them.
 When they realized that they were not in charge, the two men remained in the tavern and continued to wait.
 I want to catch them all at once if possible.

"Well, what can I do?

 I've succeeded in getting a foothold, but at the same time, I can see that it's going to be troublesome.
 This means that Rahite has to change the place where he meets his collaborators every time he takes this troublesome step.
 The fact that he changes the meeting place every time means that he can secure the place.
 A person who is able to secure a number of locations to avoid suspicion.
 And that's just for each guild. How big is the big picture?
