86 83 stories. Too much thought?

The tea leaves were to be searched for again by everyone.

Mr. Meera replied that he had no problem, but his face was a little drawn.

I was planning on going to the next store, but I hear Mr. Luiselia has business.

We were talking about going to the woods earlier.

Is this because it didn't go as planned?

Break up with Meera and the others in front of the store and head back to the square.

Still all kinds of weird.

Besides, even the 5 people who were in the store got suspicious.

As we head back to the square, we look around at the stores selling vegetables.

Vegetables are in the pile, so there's no need for it.

As a result of each other, we didn't feel like going back to the square right away.

"I wonder which Kara is?

As far as what you did earlier, you seem to be helping me.

But I don't get an answer when I think about why.

Does she suspect anything about Mr. Meera?

"Kara is an adventurer who moved to this town two years ago. Until then, they were adventurers in two neighboring towns."

Mr. Ratlua gives me information about Mr. Kara.

I just don't know much about adventurers.

"If you're an adventurer, do you travel often?

"When you want to increase your rewards or, well, get away with a little trouble"

"Trouble?"

"Ahhh, uh, men's and women's issues and all that stuff between brothers... you know?

"Somehow, but I understand"

There seems to be no discomfort with the fact that it has moved.

Finished looking at the store and into the path of few people.

Look around, make sure it's okay, and then ask Mr. Ratlua.

"Um, control failed, didn't it?

"Oh, yeah. Why?"

"Because it doesn't match the image of the organization we were talking about because of how Meera and the others are doing. Even so, given the fact that we keep adventurers company, it is still inferred that we are prepared. Given that, I thought something was wrong with the organization."

"You mean the thing that caused the problem was the control?

"I don't know, but it feels like Meera and the others are in a hurry to get things going."

"Sure, you're under the impression that Meera and the others are in a hurry. But that restraint was really nothing. I did leave some paperwork behind."

"Is that a paperwork?

"Yeah, but they didn't make any sense at all. Seiselk has also confirmed this."

"If it's not a document, how about money?

"Money? Was I talking about the fact that I did have a safe and left a little. But that's not a lot of money either."

"Is a controlled place a private house?

"Sure, it was a former merchant. It's a pretty big building."

Could it be a big building?

"Is there any chance that something is hidden in the building?

"No, I don't think so. I've been through it thoroughly."

"Really...... what's going on with that place now?

"Now I'm sure I'm keeping an eye out because the problem hasn't been solved yet"

"Watch...... how many people?

"Uh, fewer people than at first, and now it was five or six,"

"Is it the vigilante who's watching?

"Yeah, the adventurers were in on it, but there's something about Meera and the others. Now it's just the vigilante."

"Vigilante. Um, I told you I checked the location of the controls, but who did?

"Hmm? Oh, it's okay. The vigilantes are the only ones I've looked into, because the adventurers aren't in."

"Just the vigilante... maybe..."

"Ivy?"

I don't know what to do, just my imagination with no evidence or anything.

I guess I'll just talk about it for now.

"Um... are the vigilantes okay?

"Vigilante? Could it be about the guys we checked? No, they said it was okay..."

"How did those people get into the vigilante?

"Recommendations from captains, deputy captains, and then nobles..............."

"Noble"

"Yes, recommended by the nobles..."

"Um, it's hard to say..."

"It's okay, I know what I'm trying to say. Yes, even the vigilante has a traitor."

Yes, it occurred to me that a well-prepared organization would be reaching out to vigilantes as well as adventurers.

Mr. Ratlua must have noticed that, too.

A little confused.

If you consider that the vigilante also has a traitor, there is a possibility that something is hidden in the former merchant.

The organization wants it back, but they can't take action because of the lookout.

If you wait slowly, it's not too late because any of them will be out of watch.

But suppose the evidence you're hiding is too important to wait...

How it works as an organization.

All you have to do is sharpen the manpower you break into watches.

Mr. Meera may be a throwaway pawn for the organization.

Not only Mr. Meera, but all who are now thought to be people of the organization are also considered abandoned pawns.

The discovery that Mr. Meera is a traitor has made it difficult for the Adventurer Alliance to move, considering the possibility that there are still traitors.

I've already pulled my hand off the watch.

In doing so, it becomes primarily the vigilante who moves.

If Mr. Meera and the others take action at that time, they will definitely move to catch him.

You won't even be able to afford to turn people around on the lookout.

"Lizard Tail Cut"

"Eh, what's that?"

"... no, it's nothing"

Take one deep breath and tell Mr. Ratlua what you think now.

Mr. Ratlua seems to have thought of something similar.

And you look like you've scuffed a bitter bug.

"What's wrong with you?

"About 30% of the vigilantes are referrals from nobles."

I don't know what to say, that's too much again.

There won't be any traitors, but it'll take too long to find out.

If this is also calculated behavior, the top of this organization is horrible.

But as much as I thought about it, others would come up with it.

Because Mr. Gilmouth and the captain of the vigilante know more than I do.

"Well, sometimes I think too much."

"... If Ivy were to suspect the most, what nobility?

Mr. Ratlua stops and looks down at me.

If I were you......,

"Is it someone who is judged to have nothing to do with the crime? Or maybe there's a martial arts tradition."

"... why?

"It is easy for people who are trusted or respected to gather a variety of information. And when something happens, there's nothing to suspect first, so you can get away with it safely."

"Well...... I have two people in mind, one who Borolda trusts. The other one is a resident of this town who doesn't suspect anything."

"I don't doubt... why not?

"Eleven years ago, I saved the children of a family of adventurers being attacked by bandits because they didn't care about their lives."

"... the one who saved"

Someone who saved my life, kind of a word I've heard over and over in the last few days.

"He's a town hero for bravely protecting a child even though he was injured."

"What happened to the bandit who attacked you?

"They're all dead... why not?

"..............................................................................................................................................................."

…………

Oh, I shut up.

But if that's a selfie, I'd have been ready for 11 years.

Is that it?

"Um, how many years ago was the organization recognized?

"I guess it was seven years ago for sure. A woman who was about to be enslaved found out there was an organization for running away."

Seven years ago, four years before that, a selfie?

I guess it's too soon.

But even though it was recognized seven years ago, the activity has been around for a long time.

I see the square.

Turning his gaze to the tent, he sees Mr. Seiselk.

You're early today. I think all the time, but I don't see Mr. Marl Leak and Mr. Low Creek.

Did something happen and only Mr. Seiselk came back?
