Lindo Kingdom, Trade City Uumin, Anglais' Mansion, Anglais' Room
After the negotiation with Kazane and the others was over, Anglais gave so instructions to his subordinates about the party's hotel arrangents, then imdiately returned to his room. And in the room, Ougi, who had guided Kazane and the others to the mansion so ti ago, was waiting.
How was it?
Ougi said to him imdiately after he returned, and he smiled back.
They're a considerably quirky lineup, but I think they aren't bad children?
And after saying that, Anglais leaned on his dignified exclusive chair. Imdiately after, he took a breath, then looked at Ougi and smiled.
As expected, the hot spring offer was refused.
Anglais said that, but he didn't show any signs of frustration or disappointnt at all. If anything, his way of speaking made it seem like he thought the refusal was a matter of course. Ougi nodded and saidSo it seems.
Well, now that it's like THAT, the amount presented here is nothing more than a scam.
After Ougi's words, Anglais repliedIndeed.
I never expected she'd increase the value of the property and protect the hot springs. I don't know whether or not that was intentional, but she's a splendid girl.
Anglais was smiling as he said that.
I'd like to go to the hot spring town for a crystal hot spring inspection before the week is over, but I wonder if I should. I have a matter to negotiate with Makka-dono. I don't think it would be unnatural.
Ougi also smiled after those words.
Yes, that should be fine? I hear its exterior is exactly as if heaven were in this world. I'll accompany you.
Then Anglais and Ougi smiled at each other. Their atmosphere showed they had walked together for many years.
The words crystal hot spring had appeared in the conversation between Anglais and Ougi. Exactly as stated, that was surely the bathhouse in Kazane Magic Got Spring Town that Kazane created.
However, that hot spring was created two days before the present ti. And even though they had decided to travel together with the caravan on the way, it would be extrely difficult to reach Uumin faster than Kazane's group and convey that information to Anglais by any ordinary ans of transportation.
The normal possibilities would be a fast horse or a ssenger bird, but the ans of communication they had used was completely different.
I'll reply to Kanna'semail. I'll tell her we uneventfully failed.
So saying, Ougi started sending an email to the person nad Kanna. Using the ans Anglais couldn't see that Kazane and the others called the Window. In other words, Ougi was a player.
Please. The devils loitering around right now are trouble. Tell her to be properly careful for .
Anglais told Ougi and looked out the window. Ahead of his gaze were the mbers of the White Party walking toward the main gate. Seeing them, Anglais naturally smiled. Anglais was a man in the pri of his life nearing middle age. And the closer one got to being an old man, the more effective Kazane's devilish female power. Anglais was in the process of being taken in by Kazane.
Then Anglais recalled what he was interested in from the conversation a short while ago.
Ah, speaking of devils, as expected, they're also worried about the Black Potions.
After Anglais spoke, Ougi's brow furrowed. But his eyes still remained closed. Even though he obviously acted as if he could see, Ougi's eyes always remained closed.
Perhaps they ca to investigate the relationship between us and the devils.
Anglais groanedHmmat Ougi's conjecture.
That woman nad Louise is from the devil-hunting Cancer family. Maybe she's simply on edge when it cos to matters related to that, but, they have a track record of devil subjugation. I think gaining them as allies would be a good idea.
Anglais said, and Ougi agreed.
It should be fine to obliquely confirm that during tomorrow's dinner party, don't you think? Also, that Queen Yuuko is likely backing them, so it could possibly take the form of a direct appeal.
Queen Yuuko? If I rember correctly, she's a player. Is winning them, including her, over as companions impossible after all?
I don't know whether or not it's impossible, but we can't deny the possibility that if she learns about us, we'll end up being used instead...
Ougi cautiously replied to Anglais' question.
However, I hear she's a scary woman, but she's likely a player?
Anglais had heard that many players were residents of Japan, a country without war that resembled Japaness. But Ougi shook his head.
It seems she's a person so cold and ruthless that it's hard to believe she's a player like us. She probably had no choice but to beco an Asura when her husband was killed and her child was about to be taken away. Thinking about Minshiana's internal conditions for the last 10 years, that queen's actions aren't any different from what Soldard's king is doing right now.
Annihilating opposing powers. The only difference between her and Soldard's king was whether or not they acted publicly. That being the case, Ougi was worried that for the sake of protecting her secrets, she might sever the likes of a foreign country rchant's life without a second thought.
However, their player information network is hard to pass up.
Anglais said.
As a matter of fact, Anglais' rise to his current position was largely due to the speed of the email information network between the multiple players he'd made his companions, along with Ougi's Unique Skill.
At the present point, Anglais was operating the company with Ougi, Kanna, and two other players. Speeding up information transmission. That was the driving force behind ssi Firm's rise within Lindo Kingdom.
In that case, having only Kanna contact them to register as a party... that's a thod we could use. That girl is fundantally a free information shop.
After careful thought, Ougi so replied.
Kanna? We can't quite fully place our trust in that girl, but it can't be helped.
And Anglais seed reluctant, but he agreed with Ougi's words.
So then, speaking of devils, did you grasp Yaku's trail?
After Anglais' subsequent question, Ougi shook his head.
It looks like his corpse was found this morning.
Anglais frowned after Ougi's reply.
Yaku was the na of the person who had recomnded investnt in Kazane Magic Hot Spring Town (provisional), and he was the man who had actually been taking action. He was also the person who planned the takeover of Kazane Magic Hot Spring Town.
Due to that unnatural behavior, and furthermore, due to Ougi's Skill, Anglais had quickly discovered that he was possessed by a devil, but since he was actually doing good work, he expressly overlooked it.
Anglais knew as much about the Black Potions as Kazane and the others. Therefore, he also knew that the devil-possessed man wanted the magical hot spring for local production of Black Potions. He had planned to let him achieve a certain degree of results as bait, then confiscate the results and abandon him, but he suddenly disappeared when he heard that Kazane and the others were coming.
He probably didn't want to be sniffed out by Kazane-dono'sDog's Sense of SllSkill. I don't think Yaku was planning to die, so he was probably erased. Is that confirmation that a superior of his is in the city?
Good grief, what a troubleso group. I want them to leave our country as soon as possible.
After Anglais said that, Ougi nodded deeply.
At the present point, the devil's erosion of Lindo Kingdom was quite dangerous. Anglais thought that if they didn't sohow do sothing about it, their own futures wouldn't be peaceful.
Co think of it, where's Elizabeth?
And after their conversation ca to an end, Ougi suddenly said that. There was no figure of the white cat who usually often interrupted their conversations with painfully true remarks. However, when asked that, Anglais frowned and repliedI don't know.
She's acting arbitrarily again. Good grief.
Well, that's what she does. She won't make any blunders, you know?
Ougi laughed and so replied to the indignant Anglais. For Elizabeth, this was a habitual thing. However, Anglais frowned even more deeply.
That's what bothers . Is having a cat that's smarter than its owner sothing I must endure?
It goes without saying that Ougi laughed even harder after those words.
Trade City Uumin, East Street
This way.
With her tail swaying, the white cat Elizabeth walked ahead.
Behind her was Yuuko-nee, who criedNya; Kazane riding on Yuuko-nee's back, who saidI wonder where we're going?; and Tatsuo on Kazane's head, who said too.
Currently, Kazane had left the hotel prepared by Anglais and was walking down the city's East Street with Yuuko-nee, Tatsuo, and Elizabeth. The reason they were walking together in this way was because Elizabeth appeared the mont they arrived at the hotel and invited Kazane and the other to go sowhere.
So, could you tell us where we're going, Elizabeth-san?
Yes. I have a Summon Master. I think he can help that kitten.
Elizabeth answered Kazane's question.
Summon Master? It isn't Anglais-san?
Elisabeth shakes her head when asked about the wind noise.
He's my Contract Master. Well, I'm like his guard.
After those words, Kazane wondered (Is it fine for her to leave his side even though she's his guard?), but it seed Elizabeth thought there were no problems because Ougi was currently in the mansion.
According to Elizabeth's words, this Uumin had a summoning research facility called the Summoning Institute. She told them it was built in this eastern section.
Ah, this corner.
Past the corner Elizabeth rounded as she said that was a reasonably large building that looked old. Behind the building, there was sothing that looked like a large garden.
It has a special aura.
Nyaa.
I agree.
Yuuko-nee and Tatsuo responded to Kazane's words.
Eh? That's Kazane-san, isn't it!?
When they approached the Summoning Institute, a man standing in front suddenly called out to Kazane. And when she looked at the person who had suddenly called her na, Kazane's eyes opened wide..
Umm... who?
It was a stranger.
