"Well, here I am. What will you do, Master Steele?
Moving momentarily to Dear Steele, until a short while ago I look over the back street that I should have been used to seeing.
"It's the mountains that want to keep an eye on you until the end, but it stands out that it's this outfit. Hidden in the area. Call me when you're ready.
They look at me lightly, but in the end, I'll take care of what happens after this. When asked how I should call him, Master Stayle tells me the signals to call him even though he seems rather dissatisfied. He said that certain human opponents who knew that they were not assigned a location because of their special abilities could travel instantaneously to that person's location. To the second prince on the signal taught. I can see how such a call would be drawn, and when I returned it, Master Stayle muttered as if to himself at the end.
"Arthur does the same, don't turn your mind unnecessarily.... you are the only one who will never forgive me for calling you out of necessity.
"So can I just say that from now on, you can call me whenever you need me?
When I said that and laughed, Master Stayle suddenly turned his deviant face towards me, causing his mouth to be heavily distorted like he was angry. "Anyway, just get some errands done!," and so one word of abandonment had disappeared in the next moment. … Even though it is necessary, may I decide that the application of my special abilities and the fact that I will also be given the same signals as Lord Arthur have come a little more to trust than before? That's what I thought, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well... it's been a long time since that store has either.
As I pulled my chest clothes, hiding only at the mouth, I went further from the back street into the back of the building from the second corner, down the stairs to the basement where it existed like hiding there. At this hour you will already be ready for sales. Down the stairs to the end, hands on the door, which is only wide for each adult, and pushes. Gachari, the store door opened with the sound of fittings called
"Sorry but I'm still getting ready -...!.
Check my appearance. No, a man who was working on getting ready to open a one-person shop across the counter stopped his hand holding a liquor bottle and watched me. You're just starting to get ready, or a box containing wine and wine glasses was left unmade on the stone floor, with the smell of old cork and liquor on your nose.
"It's been a while, Bail.... for the first time in two years, is it?
I dare you to turn the same smile on him as usual. Bail... this guy with a tattoo on both arms is the one I used to buy information on special abilities from on a regular basis until two years ago. He's the master of the tavern's successful limbs and a man with a slightly higher back length and a disappointing body. He wrapped his cluttered short hair around his head with a cloth from his forehead to keep it out of the way. He's usually the man who runs this underground hidden liquor store, but he was originally the man who opened illegal casinos and was punished. I connected with him afterwards with gold, made deals with backrunners via him, and bought information while hiding my qualities. I just think it was a stupid act now.
"I didn't hear you say that the prime minister of the country has changed, so I thought perhaps… but you still remain great, prime minister.
Without taking his eyes off me as surprised, he has recommended the counter seat to me.
"Thanks to the work of Temehe, the people behind us are up for business.
Turn the cigar in front of me in bitterness and set it on fire. He said the liquor store on the table was healthy and now operates, but the main extra income was information and referrals to backing operations. And I've been wiped out in the last two years as far as I can tell by the people behind it.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that. But this one is the main business.
"I've had quite a good time in a while," he chuckled, not looking mad at my response.
"You didn't catch me like the rest of them because you know who you are?
"No, because to that extent, it's just a good story to bury at my hands.
When I say that, for the first time, his complexion changes. The first time I had a deal with him, I once slapped him down before he was completely skinless. Staring at my hands as I lit the cigar. It's easy for me to kill this man right now.
"... I'm telling you, the last time I told them who you were two years ago, it was exactly what you hoped, and I told you in advance to put you on the spot trying to get bored.
I will introduce you, but if I take care of you, I will abandon you. Continue to do so. Show him my willingness to wave open my hand and say it is not about that.
"I don't care about that. Instead, I took care of you despite your sudden request.
Well, and. I put my elbows on the counter and put my hands together to look straight at him so I could get down to business.
"I left you in the wild simply to gather information. Because I knew that all the information I could have would eventually run out.
"... So does that mean you want to buy information again? Also, did you root scrape the information on the special abilities?
"No way, because I've already sworn to pull myself out of an illegal deal.
Immediately deny his words. If you keep smiling, he has looked back at me unexpectedly.
Yes, I exchanged my vows with Lord Pride. When you pull yourself out of an illegal deal. … and at the same time, we will continue to capture and bring to justice those people based on the information we have so far learned about trafficking in human beings and to do everything in our power for this country.
But it doesn't make sense to judge only the sinners of the information I get. We will continue to find and judge illegal people. That is my duty as Prime Minister. But once you root scrape and punish all the information, it's very difficult to find out about illegals and back-run humans since then. But there is a way. You just need to get that information out of someone who can get it. He runs a liquor store and an informer, but he's been a terribly conservative man ever since. For this reason, once I was punished in an illegal casino, I was only involved in information and referrals without crossing the line for as long as I knew. And I'm familiar with rumors among students like that in running a tavern. There will be no more sources than him.
Set your aim, your mouth fishes unexpectedly. He noticed it too and shook his shoulders small.
"Thank you for all your trouble at the time. Keep your eyes peeled at the fact that you are silent and feeding on information about those who are illegal.
You're thirsty. To put it mildly, he pours liquor into the glass in front of me, with a fed up look on his face, and sends it out to me. Contains only one small bite, checks for mixture, and then puts it through your throat.
Place a cup of kang and vitreous glass vigorously on the wooden counter, capture him and continue with "but".
"I am the Chancellor, as you know. We'd be happy to receive information from the good people, wouldn't we?
Jill Behr's grin turned to the informant Bayle as if it were a winding entanglement.
... Are you serious...
Bail lost his word. Gilbert's grin and his unconscious retreat, understanding the meaning of the word, and his heel hits the liquor shelf.
... What happened to this man two years ago?
Until two years ago, every month, this man bought information from me about special abilities. It doesn't matter if it's just a rumor or a list of trafficked goods. He was punished in an illegal casino, and then when he suddenly took a deal with me, he took out a blade and tried to get rid of it, and this guy halfkilled me. At the end of the day, when he was threatened with death or a deal that all he had to do was put a little effort into his hands and turn his head in the opposite direction, he was convinced that he was a crazy guy with a head. But if you start trading, you pay well, and you get paid just for information on special abilities. Became a good customer. Until that time two years ago, I never knew I was looking for a special ability to heal the disease...
And soon afterwards, markets and organizations of human trafficking that were flowing back and forth across the country to this man used guards and sometimes knights and were wiped out. There was no escape, he was suddenly sealed off and caught scraping his roots. The customer told me every time the tissue was destroyed.
At the same time, this man… Jill Bale never came to the store again. I was strangely sure it was probably this man's fault. There are only a few men who know all that information. What's more, my guests can move the castle people. The last time I saw it, my eyes were quite dazed and cloudy, and I had completely human eyes on this side...
Suddenly this is it two years later.
His appearance remained almost unchanged, but his overwhelming presence and hegemony were there. As soon as I showed up, I was prepared that today was the day of my life, too. Just a lively spare face was obviously different, but not just that. The back of his eyes, which should have been so cloudy, was gleaming.
And this man said. We have to make a deal. He said he'd miss me. At the same time, however, he said, "We will gladly accept information cooperation from the good people."
I mean, I'm gonna miss you, so give me the information in exchange. Says. It's pro bono, and from the mouthfeel, this time it's not information about special abilities. I need information about my clients, illegal people, backpacking, and human trafficking.
Two years ago, Jilbel, who fished around by any means or sacrifice for an end, had flew quite a bit, but now it was far beyond that. It's like even an informer like me is using it for nothing as one of his gears and trying to lubricate a big watch for nothing… a huge image ran through my head.
"How about… anything you want to say to me?
That kind of Jill Bale peered at me in the front glance without blinking one with his fingertips together like a tower. It's like being stared at by a giant snake. Perhaps if I shook my head to the side here, there would be no life. So much so that it seems so.
"Huh... what information do you want?
"Unfortunately, about the market for human trafficking these days. And about the special ability to manipulate chains that were also in the material I received before.
Answer my question without interrupting.
They're going to crush it from the human trafficking and the big guys there regular soon. It hurts to make money without regular customers, but more than that, I personally have nothing in mind for anyone. I take a deep breath and then I give Jill Bale the information he knows.
"As far as I know, all the human trafficking organizations were crushed by you. However, demand has been rising again recently. Especially with the Radiya Empire… anyway, that's the biggest slave-producing country. They're selling high there, so some of them are starting to get ready to start again. As you know, humans in this country can sell high to other countries." If you're an extraordinarily capable person, you're not dreaming of grabbing a thousand dollars. So I'm talking about replenishing products from lower levels first so that the country doesn't find out these days. The man who uses that chain… little is known about his name or personality, but recently he made money from caution sticks and kills, but the original money is human trafficking, so it's a rumor that he's back. Perhaps as soon as the product replenishment is ready, you're going to invite the Radiyas to open the market again?
"Where is the market and the man's home?
"The market… probably outside the country. All the places that were domestic markets have been held up by the country because of the Chancellor, and now there are no competitors in the country. Previously, the market for selling goods to intermediaries predominated domestically before selling them to other countries… but they were probably going to aggregate them outside the country without going through intermediaries and sell them to slave-authorized countries in neighborhoods other than Radiya. I guess my home base is also out of the country. The big man in the chain is a way of traveling to and from the country and abroad, lost in merchants. I have all sorts of them.
Thanks to the excellent Chancellor, it is difficult to live in the country as a back-run person. And I'll say I don't like it, but it doesn't look like it's working at all.
"I see. Approximately how far is it?
"They've been coming down to replenishment regularly lately, and it's not far. Isn't that a few kilometres of rock from the exit outside the country on the lower tier side? I don't have a problem disposing of the products because there's a cliff area around there, and it's a place that temporarily loses a lot of them.
That being said, Jill Bale put it on the counter only for the amount of booze he was about to drink and stood up.
"Thank you, thank you for your good cooperation.
That's what I say, stand up slowly. I managed to relieve myself of staying alive for at least a day today, but Jill Bale kept telling me, "Thank you for your continued support," and I got a headache at once.
"If you're ever looking for someone with special abilities, if someone as great as you walks by and every time a guest or organization is crushed, they'll be suspicious right away."
"Well, let's think about that countermeasure after all.
Easy for you to say, motherfucker. Keep turning your back on me, to Jill Bale, and I'll cast my doubts on you.
"Yeah, hey, special ability person to heal a previous disease... was it? Did you find what you were looking for?
I haven't seen him since then. When I connected him that way, Jill Baer replied, "No, unfortunately," hissing only his hand.
"Well, that's a shame. He said he was looking for you with so many blood eyes. Well, I can't do it without some kind of incapacitated man guided by God.
When the tension is resolved, throw away the cigar that had been torched and light the second cigar. Keep looking at Jill Bale again.
There was a smile on his hair.
My spine freezes suddenly, dropping a cigarette on the floor that I just couldn't help but fear. Step on it reflexively and extinguish the fire, but I can't keep an eye on it from Jill Veil.
It was as if I were going to shoot through, and then I dubiously glowed a distant thing that wasn't me into a merciful glance, unnaturally opening my lips, pulling them up, and laughing suspiciously as if I couldn't live with something boiling from the inside.
I've been making deals with this guy for years, but I've never seen such a grin before. It was a laugh like when humans who kill people with pleasure make meat chunks in front of them. It will draw blood from your whole body and make you unable to move.
"... Bail. I don't hate you. I sincerely hope that I will remain accustomed to good cooperation if I wish.
He slowly turns back to me from the state he looked back at, and he turns a slightly sliced eye at me from the front.
"Please, don't just cross the line like this. Don't even think about getting away from me. … if you crossed the line, dyed your hands illegally, and fell to the same place as me."
Slowly, slowly, Jilbel made a knife with his hand without breaking his grin, and let it loosely hit Stone and it on his neck so that I could clearly see it.
"Let me demonstrate to you whether it is possible to snap your neck without a blade.
Finally, my whole body trembled and my voice stopped speaking. Only his breath gets rough and his body hits the retreat liquor shelf thoughtfully without even having to exchange it.
Have I made a deal with such a tough guy for years? Doubt yourself.
Against me frightened, Jill Bale turns his back again as if nothing happened as it were.
"Oh, and then. The liquor here doesn't taste bad either. I don't think a hidden tavern is a bad idea for serious work.
See you later. That said, it was now time for Jill Bale to leave the store. Weakened at once to get into the spot.
Previously, that man was a man who had a glimpse of brittleness at the same time as obsession. Yet not now.
Obsession similar to determination. And envy for someone... I even caught a glimpse of something like worship. I can't even feel the previous brittleness or dust.
Where the hell is the demon king?
Do I have to get involved with that bastard again? That just makes me feel heavier. But I found out that they could live longer if they didn't even dare to cross the line. Anyway, it's a liquor store and information store that I've been inert to think this day might ever come. It's still good just not to be threatened and taken money. Yes, as I told myself, I hoped from the bottom of my heart that he would at least rarely take a direct trip to this tavern.
……
Shit...
As soon as Gilbert closed the door, he sighed deeply.
Accidentally, he got it on his face. If you look at that reaction of his, you can predict what look you've got without looking in the mirror.
At the corner, I didn't know when my daughter Stella would frighten me when she said she had become a father and seemed to accidentally give me this look.
Beat your cheeks two or three times with your palms and tighten firmly.
Before I heard from Master Pride, I thought it was time to make contact with him. Because all the information I have learned in the past has just been exhausted. So I thought it would be just fine when I was consulted by Master Pride and Master Stayle. He had a good deal of information.
He looked up at the stairs, noticed it was starting to get pretty dark outside, and hurried up the stairs. It would be troublesome if you accidentally mistake it for a customer. Up the stairs and hide yourself in the shadow of the immediate back of the building.
"I can't do this without God's guidance.
The moment I heard that word, I accidentally got zero grin. "We met," he said, desperately enduring the desire to speak so. I'm sure he doesn't even realize he was getting paid for it.
The words to him I told you afterwards are also sincere and not false. I don't want to end him if I wish. But when I dye my hands in a place that threatens the people, I cut this country under Lord Pride's rule relentlessly. I mean it, too.... my dear wife and daughter, Maria and Stella. And the royals and Lord Arthur, beginning with Lord Pride. And most importantly, for the innocent people... for the oath of that day, there is no error.
Earlier, I was surprised when Master Steele came to my mansion on an instant move, "Now, sister, you want your help." The moment I was told, I didn't even hesitate. I was also proud of what that one wanted, and even felt happy when Maria smiled at me as I held Stella.
If he desires my strength, I will not spare him. All this special ability, life, my talent.
I will do everything I can as Prime Minister, for the sake of the people of our country.
