He chose Lobito's request to investigate the activities of merchants visiting Quama, and to summarize the changes in the flow of goods into Quama.
　It seemed to me that this would be quite a daunting task. .......

"Hahahaha!　That's a masterpiece!
"Isn't it?　I knew you would say that, Mr. Loebito!

　He is currently in the midst of a conversation at the villa of Lobito-Goshenite, having been invited to dinner by Lobito himself.
　He is currently chatting with Lobito himself at his villa.
　After that, he contacted Lobito to report the accomplishment of his request, and within a few hours, he had become Lobito's favorite.
　I've been told that he's been working with Sir Léanor and other knights and nobles at Tarz, but this is the first time I've observed his skills up close and personal. ...... It's terrifying.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　Every time he made a comment, Lobito would smile at him.
　He was honing these skills just as I was honing my swordplay.
　He had told me that these skills were acquired through experience, not talent.
　I, too, had struggled with relationships before I met him, but I don't think I could have learned much through those experiences.
　I can only imagine how much I needed to observe others, how much I needed to be able to get into other people's lives.

No, a young man with a lot to offer. But is it just my imagination, Mr. Poster, or do you seem to be more of a merchant than an adventurer?

　Incidentally, he is now calling himself Poster, because Ichiro Satou would look suspicious.
　It is true that this is a more natural name, but when I see him behaving so well as a poster, I almost think that is his true identity.

No, I'm not mistaken. I used to be a merchant for a living.
"Oh, I see. You don't seem to be very skilled, and I thought it was strange that you were an adventurer with a couple of guards.

　He explains that Wolfe and I are his team, that he does the brainwork and we do the physical work.
　This is how it usually is, so we have a very natural relationship.
　However, Wolfe and I are silent adventurers, and we try to keep our mouths shut.
　I've heard that when I speak, I seem to exude a knightly quality.
　I'm proud to be knightly, but I didn't think the day would come when I would be disturbed.

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be interrupted, but I guess we both agree that our roles are shared, and I can boast that I'm the weakest adventurer. But I always dreamed of being an adventurer, so I'm enjoying it, even though it's almost like a second job.
I see, so you have a talent as a merchant and a desire to be an adventurer at the same time. And you found a way to combine the two and put it into practice.
I'm good at making requests that require a lot of brain power, so I hope you'll continue to support me!

　There is almost no lie in his statement.
　He had been a merchant, and he had always wanted to be an adventurer.
　It is highly unlikely that Lobito can use the Yugra technique of detecting lies, but even so, he uses only the truth to deceive.
　On top of that, he uses his storytelling skills to make himself popular with Lobito, and I don't even know how that's great anymore.

"Hmm, ...... has a separate request for you, would you like to accept it?
"What's the rush?　Well, do you have an answer for me right now?
Yes. Is there something wrong?
I've got two other requests on ...... that I got from referrals, so I'd like to get them done before they get in the way.
"Oh, no problem. It's important, but it's not an urgent matter. You can give priority to the request you received first. Merchants, like adventurers, need to be trusted.
I'll take it if you do!

　Thus, he succeeded in receiving another request from Lobito.
　The request was to find out how many adventurers were dissatisfied with Quama's politics.
　We need to find out in detail which people are dissatisfied, and how dissatisfied they are.
　Ostensibly, the purpose of the survey is to find out what the grievances are and to improve the treatment of adventurers in the future.
　However, if you ask him about this request from the standpoint of knowing who Lobito really is, you will see that his purpose is to find a collaborator to overthrow the state.
　In other words, he has become a part of Lobito's secret plan.

"Well, things are going well for now.

　Back at the base, he sits on a chair and stretches.
　You can't avoid conversation fatigue even if you've been trained, and if you've been engaged in advanced psychological warfare at his level, the degree of fatigue is immeasurable.

"Shishou, good work!
Oh, you're tired too, aren't you?
All we had to do was stay behind you and not open our mouths, no problem.
Oh, yeah?　That's great.
It's not much to be proud of after all the work you've done.
I thought it would be nerve-wracking to have to escort you around, knowing that negotiations could break down at any moment, and even more so, knowing that you could have seen through our ruse all along.
"......

　It's not that I didn't think of that.
　However, judging from the way Lobito was acting, I think I was somewhat relieved that there was no such possibility.
　Of course, if something had happened, he would have been able to respond quickly.

You look like you're out of your mind because you're too busy coaxing Lobito.
"Mm......, yes. To be honest, most of my attention was focused on your storytelling.
Wolfe, too!
I'm sure you're aware of that, but you've got to be careful when it comes to Chenillas and Jestaff. Lobito is the easiest of the three to attack. He usually treats Schneid adventurers as convenient pawns, and tends to be more tolerant of competent people. In addition, they don't like to be overly gossipy, and they'll like you if you're a bit brazen but reasonable.
Can I ask you how that works, the quick turnaround that proves you're capable?
"Merchants need to prove their identity at the gate to enter the country. You'd think they'd have a record of that, right?　I had King Zenotta compile such information for the officials. If you're going to do something against a country, it's not a bad idea to gather information about it. All we have to do is contact the relevant officials and ask them to show us the information and put it together.


"It's quite simple, if you ask me. It's a wonder Lobito doesn't do it.
That's the guy who wants to overthrow the country, he wants to avoid negotiating with the country as much as possible.

　I know you say that, but my main impression is that Lobito has a thick skin.
　I think he'd be more than willing to let his subordinates investigate.

Didn't Lobito seem that careful?
Of course he can read my thoughts.
If you don't want me to read your thoughts, make them complex.
Sorry about the simplicity.
No, it's just easier for me to be with you. I like cleanliness.
If you didn't make fun of me for it, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

　I see, simple-mindedness can be made to sound better if it's put in a different way.
　I'll take everything in a positive light.

"Actually, Ilias' intuition is not so wrong. In fact, Ilias' intuition is not so wrong. It's something that an ordinary Rovito would have ordered his subordinates to investigate.
"Then why?
Because we're in a situation where we have to be more cautious than necessary. It's not because he's working with Cheneyas and Jestaff, it's because ....... From Rorbito's point of view, those two are equal, and as he usually acts as the guild's advisor, they are weak factors in restricting Rorbito's actions. If that's the case, then Raheit is imprisoned, and I'm sure he's been informed of the Ao incident, so I'm sure Lobito knows about it.

　The question and answer between him and King Zenotta reached the ears of the soldiers surrounding him.
　Even if he had kept his mouth shut, he would not have been able to prevent it from leaking out.

"You mean the camp to which Raheit belongs that you were talking about?
"Yeah, the duplicitous incitement of Rahite alone wouldn't make me that cautious. So we can assume that Rahite's backer is someone with a certain amount of name recognition.
Do you have any idea?
In terms of size, it's probably the Yugoslavs or some other country. Based on Raheit's movements, it's not Yugoslavia. If you look at the size of the country, ...... Quama has two neighbors, one of which is Ghanaian, but this is a territory ruled by gold, so there is nothing to worry about. The remaining neighbors are...
Trinh, to the north.
Wolfe, you remember Maja from your classes, don't you?
Yes!　Trinh is the most northerly of the six great powers!

　There are six great powers in this world: Tarz, Mejlis, Gane, Quama, Trinh and Selende.

I'm sure you've heard of it.
"Yes, well, the lore is that it's the Yellow Demon King. It's the safest country in the world with no adjacent demon realms.
"The demon world of Trine is limited to the interior of Garne Castle. I've never even heard of the Serende demon world.
I've never heard of the Serende demon world either, since it's only slightly adjacent to the Mejis demon world. While Trinh is not threatened by the demon world, it does not receive any benefits from Yugra, and its national development and power are inferior to other countries. It's a safe but weak place for a country.

　In the center of the continent is Ghane, to the east is Taze, and to the west is Mejis.
　In the south of each country, there is a magical world named after the country.
　To the west of Mejis is Serende, to the north of Garneth is Quama, to the north of Quama is Torin, and to the west of Quama is the Quama Realm.

The guilds sent Raheit to take the country and close the power gap. ...... Is this a bit much to think about?
I've been having a hard time convincing myself that my ideas are wrong when I'm with you.
You don't like excitement in your life?
Depends. What about you?
For me, peace is best. People who are used to peace and quiet want to be stimulated, but in the end they want to be at peace.
Shh, you sound like my grandfather.

　I know.

"Geez, ...... I don't think it's a mistake to look at Trinh in any case. This is all intuition, though, so I can't be sure.
You have to rely on your intuition too.
Intuition is a reflexive answer based on past experience. If you're confident in your abilities, you can trust your intuition.
That's true. By the way, where did you get the name "poster"?
"From the word 'imposter,' not 'advertising poster.
Imposter, from ......, the word?
Yeah, it means a con artist who pretends to be something he's not. Yeah, it's a word that means a fraud who pretends to be something he's not.

　It's too good to be true.

　It's too good to be true.

　I've heard that Jethro's brother is going to do something about it.
　But with that guy around, he's going to keep a low profile for now.
　According to him, the rule of thumb is to avoid giving out any information since he is aware of our existence.
　There is a possibility that this house is still being watched from afar. ...... You may be right.
　I'm confident in the accuracy of my detection magic and my intuition when I see, but my eyesight itself is not that great.
　In the event that you have any kind of questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to do.

　The only thing I can do is to be the first to detect any danger around my brother and have him deal with it.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
　That's why I've been cleaning the house endlessly.
　The name "Harkdock the Janitor" has a nice ring to it, but whenever I call myself that, it's always accompanied by a feeling of emptiness.

"It's frustrating, d*mn it.

　I really want to go out into the streets of Quama and do something about that guy, but when I meet him, my instincts cut off my consciousness.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.


　If you've observed a battle once or twice and you're in a tiebreaker, you might have a chance. ...... But it's still a bad bet.
　I don't have the guts to gamble with my life in a category where I'm told to do whatever I want.
　I'm sworn to protect my brother Jestaff with my life, but I'm not going to die a dog's death.

I'm sure there'll be a time when I'm needed. I'm sure there'll be a time for me.　For now, I'll just have to put up with you cleaning this pot!
It's all well and good, but don't polish the same pot several times a day.
"Oh, brother!

　I was startled by the sudden voice and turned around to see JaeStaff's brother standing there with a pained look on his face.
　I was really scared, my heart almost came out of my mouth.
　There's another guy beside you who I don't see.
　Or rather invisible.
　He's using invisibility magic, so you can't see him, but he's right behind you.
　That's not Liod's guy. Who the hell is he?
　Who the hell is he?

"Hark-dog, don't track this guy. You don't need to know who he is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry.

　My brother, noticing that my gaze was fixed on the invisible man, anticipated my next move and stopped me.
　The tone of my brother's voice indicated that he was warning me without joking.

"I'll talk to him in the study for a while. He's a nervous guy, and it seems he gets distracted when our people are nearby, so go clean the basement.
Yes, sir!　Hey, whoever you are, don't you dare mess with my brother!

　I'll gather up the cleaning supplies and move.
　I can at least guess who it is, it's probably someone from the same group as Lahite.
　There are many things that instincts tell us without the use of detection magic.
　That guy over there is dangerous in a different way than that guy.
　That's probably why my brother looked so distressed, he's got a keen sense of smell.
　It's not that he's hostile, but he doesn't see Jestiff's brother as anything more than a means to an end, and you can feel it in his eyes.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can support your brother.

　Now, wait for the dust in the basement!　I'm going to clean it up!
