176 Episode 162: The Flag Stands

When the clerk brings the liquor and glass, Reed opens the stopper and pours the liquor without hesitation.I found it in a luxury bottle, but Reed swallowed it all at once.

"Haaaa, the wine after work isn't delicious.It's all over my guts. "

"I don't care about your work.Answer the question. "

"Yes, yes, I understand."

When Mikage told him to pick up the liquor, Reed grabbed a glass of wine.He looked at us through a semi-transparent liquid that swayed with jealousy.

"The faction diagram behind this city is now split in two.One is the one behind the junkies who chased you.They've been roughing up the city's front lately.And the other is the one who runs this district. "

A lead that slightly contains the contents of the glass and moistens the lips.

"The Zingin family, the oldest mafia in Eubalest.In the first place, the underworld of Euberest was roughly controlled by the Zingin family.Of course, there are some of them, but the Jingin family was definitely the most powerful. "

Mafia is basically like a chamber of commerce in the underworld.Of course, it is strictly different from the Chamber of Commerce, and it is dealt with regardless of whether it is legal or illegal, unlike the Chamber of Commerce.Violence and trafficking - even human life is a commodity in some cases.I also hear that it is a gathering of socially incompatible people who have a very strong sense of territoriality and take pride above all else.

I knew it from my knowledge, and I heard it from Cunei.But I didn't expect such a day to come.

"As you may know, this tavern is run by the Jingin family and is home to the family.Only the leading organizations under the family umbrella or the family's executives are allowed to enter the store. "

"So, what were we going to meet earlier?"

"Oh, you're the parent of the Jingin family."

Suddenly you're meeting with the original owner who runs the backyard of the city... I'm glad he's here now.It was a mistake to meet without knowing the situation in advance.

From my point of view, my partner seems to be cheating on me.

Dammit, I've been thinking about it for the last few hours and I can't deny it.

Eina looked at the entrance to the store and the stairs to the second floor before asking Reed.

"Looking at the store's response earlier, do you mean that you are also recognized by the Jingin family boss?"

Mikage looks at the entrance to the store and the stairs to the second floor, respectively.Neither the gatekeepers nor the men who guarded the VIP room stopped him as much as Reed thought.

"In my case, customers are both diners.I'm enjoying the wine here. "

Hey, Gram, what do you mean, diners?

Instead of being fed by a powerful person, I feel like I can help that powerful person if anything happens.More intimate than a hired escort. "

Learning from Gram inside, Mikage exhales like a mourning.

"Second-class mercenaries are also a lot more likely to be diners.Shouldn't we just stop talking about mercenaries and get in trouble here? "

"Well, that's an attractive proposition.I'm the one who wants what I want.It doesn't suit my nature to be fed. "

Reed laughs with Kera Kera and drinks again.The words came as no surprise to me. [M]

"Oh? Someone's coming down.Hey Reed, is that your parent? "

"Ah? That's... no."

Reed looks at the stairs with the voice of Cunei.I didn't break my cheerful face, but I didn't miss the slight narrowing of my gaze.

Several men appeared from upstairs.

Walking first - literally fat pigs.Is it too good an expression?It has several large jeweled fingers and a gold and silver embellishment on its neck.I mean, the boundary from the jaw to the torso is filled with fat, so I can't tell where the neck is.

"What kind of diet would make you?"

"Unfortunately... even the nobles often say that."

Eina answered my dialog in a frustrated manner. [M]In other words, he lives like a luxurious aristocrat.I envy luxury, but I don't think I envy even that figure.

Don't be stupid.Behind that pig. "

I think you're a pig, too - and I see a man walking behind it with his heart in his mouth.

If the previous man is a lump of luxury, the man behind is instead a skinny, luxurious man.I wear black clothes like tuxedo, and my cheeks are thin and my eyes are shiny.But those eyes are as sharp as birds.

When the man's gaze turned to us for a moment, he looked at it.The man quickly lost interest, turned his sight back, but my spine was numb.

Reflectively, it was the demon race that appeared in the royal castle.I was evoked the feeling I had when I put it in front of me.

The ones behind me are better than the fish, but that Gyoroe's eyes are different.If you're a mercenary, you'll certainly have a second level of strength. "

It would be worth it because Gram praises it so much.Moreover, in vague terms, the bottom is invisible even in grams.

--Oh, I don't want to get involved with that kind of relationship.

Bah, that's a flag!Stop it!!

It's a flag, a flag...
