After paying for the meal at the front desk, I didn't walk to the hot spring location at this time as usual. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After making sure no one was following, leave in the direction of the outside of the hotel.

Most of the land in the Undead Partition is barren, but although this inn is located on the outskirts of Rixel, the surroundings are surprisingly good, and it seems that there is a defensive magic circle, which has been artificially transformed into a safe area.

I walked through the nearby spot and headed straight for the gloomy forest that flickered with ghostly fires from time to time.

After a little distance from the hotel.

"Yo, what exactly does the undead Ai Xiuyin who can make me interested want to talk to me face-to-face?"

At the predetermined location, a certain Karakuri with an expectant face spoke.

After contacting him through the Baldel puppet, we agreed to meet in the dead wood outside the inn.

"Oh, good evening. There are some things I want to discuss with you in person. ”

"I wasn't going to let anyone else interfere with my way of doing things, but as an interesting undead who can come up with a plan that can make the most talented person of the Karakuri clan come up with, Ai Xiuin, do you want to continue the discussion? ”

"No, we'll talk about that later, let's take a break. ”

His pupils shimmered dangerously red, and Baldel, who stood out especially in the dark forest, looked at him with interest.

"Oh, in the future?"

…… I hope he doesn't get anything wrong.

Recently, while Ah Shu and Paul were in the city, I occasionally discussed with this titular collaborator about his past life.

Although I only knew a little about the fur, Baldel listened with relish.

It's selfish to do so.

On the one hand, he wants to add some chips for his side in exchange for money.

On the other hand, maybe one day I'll move to someone who can pay me a salary and live leisurely, and it doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with a big guy like Baldell who can easily come up with hundreds of millions of gold coins.

Before I could speak, Baldel asked expectantly again.

"Well, since you insist on not being hired to be my business advisor, I don't want to force it. But since you have said this, have you come to a conclusion about becoming a traveling companion equal to me?"

"You really misunderstood, I also rejected that thing. No, that's not the case today. ”

I hurriedly rejected Baldel, who seemed to have guessed the result.

He seems to have benefited a lot from listening to my half-baked speeches during this time, and has offered to invite me to join his team many times.

I guess I mistakenly thought I was a business genius.

...... But I still have self-knowledge, if I have to say it, I can only be an ordinary person who likes to brag and fart, it's okay to fool the aborigines of another world, but if you really want to play by yourself, you must still be confused.

No, off topic, I'm not here today to gag and discuss this.

"Well, in short, there is a discrepancy between the plan and the schedule, and I will need to leave Lixel in the near future, and I may not be able to stay for the scheduled time. I'm sorry that I'm still a lot short of the agreed time, but I've decided to get a one-time payment of 500 million and hope to get it as soon as possible. ”

"Oh, is there something unexpected and difficult happening?"

After a slight pause, Baldell looked a little pleased, and put on a [you can discuss with me] expression.

I guess he wants to sell a favor.

No matter how I say it, I'm not a dull character.,The basic ability to read words and colors is still there.,This thing can still be seen.。 What's more, Baldel's current expression theory can be detected by anyone.

"No, it's not that things aren't going well. On the contrary, things went so smoothly that we were able to leave early. ”

"I see, it's a shame. ”

Hearing me say this, the Karakuri who was very upright in some strange ways shrugged his shoulders and sighed unabashedly.

I don't know if it's time to be upset.

Although she held Ah Shu for the time being, even if she agreed that I would stay in Lixel with Paul temporarily, I would not be able to stay for more than a week, which is why I left the restaurant in a hurry to find Baldel.

After all, finding the nerd boy went well, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it......

I was stunned and thought about it for a short time.

"So, although Ishin said this suddenly, it is unfortunate that I am on a trip and do not have that much money on me now. Even if the Baldel puppet was ordered to be sent over immediately, it would take at least five days. ”

Bardel, dragging his chin in a thoughtful motion, said this cautiously.

…… In any case, it will take at least five days, which is quite acceptable.

"Well, if it's only for five days, then I'll hand you the improved [Vision] blueprints. I don't care about the next sales issues, if there are other collaborations, I'll contact you through the Baldel puppet. ”

"Of course, although I am disappointed not to be able to cooperate with Eshuin Ru this time. But I have a hunch that we will meet again, and that I will have enough money to follow the contract. ”

It's so important that you have to say it in person, but it's good to be able to reach a consensus.

After saying this, and nodding to each other to reach a tacit understanding.

"Ah, speaking of which. I came across something in the afternoon that was supposed to have something to do with you, Baldel. ”

As I was about to leave here before Ah Shu found out the clues, I suddenly remembered something.

After searching for a moment in the Space Ring, I pulled out the flyer I had gotten in front of the Lexel Gate in the afternoon.

"This portrait that looks like a wanted warrant is you, I received it at the West Gate in the afternoon. It seems that the members of the city security team are gathering the crowd to promote something, and speaking of which, the propaganda Miss Dragonman is quite beautiful. ”

After taking the portrait I had taken from Paul and looking at Baldel, the crimson of his eyes seemed to be getting more and more intense

“…… It's undoubtedly false, but it's a young woman from a dragon-human race, isn't it? ”

As he said this, he suddenly showed a gritted tooth expression.

These two guys really know each other......

"Well, it's dragonmen, yes. Looking at the horns on the forehead, it should still be from the Demon Dragon Clan, originally I was a little strange, why there were guys from the Demon Dragon Clan in the city security team that was basically composed of vampires, and I only knew so much. ”

"That stinky dragon girl dares to fake my appearance as a wanted flyer and send it out!"

Sure enough, there is an insider, so it's better not to mix your hands, these two guys don't seem to be fuel-efficient lamps.

I guess they noticed my gaze.

"I'm not a wanted criminal in the Demon Realm. That stupid dragon girl must be trying to find me with the help of the city's garrison, and then attack me there when I can't do anything to the ordinary demons is caught in prison. ”

“…… No, you don't have to explain, I don't want to know about this nonsense. ”

After angrily throwing the portrait into the air and giving an explanation, Baldel returned to his previous calm again.

"I can't let that stupid dragon girl go so easily, this matter will be handled by the most talented person of the Karakuri Clan. But that fool is only very powerful, and if you fight head-on, you will suffer a lot, do you want to consider assisting me?"

"I'm also very busy, so I won't get involved, you can handle this matter yourself......"

I was tempted to complain that the guy who could come up with such a plan couldn't be considered stupid, but I decided to remain silent.

Who would be idle and idle to participate in something that sounds like a nuisance at home.

For the next week, I'm going to spend a day and nothing in the hotel, spending a day or two at most taking time out to deal with the thieves.

"So that's all there is to say. It just so happens that I'm quite busy right now, so I'll leave the rest for the next meeting......"

"Speaking of which, even in return, I have something I want to tell you. ”

Just as I was about to turn around and go back to the inn to take a shower, Baldel, who seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stopped me.

"While I was wandering around the hotel today, I found two little human girls there discussing your affairs with Aesiin. Most of them are rumors about the headless horseman who walked with you, it seems to be called Paul, and I have heard a lot of interesting things. ”

"Oh, after all, Paul has also shown his face in the arena recently, probably his fan or something. ”

I thought it was something important.

After all, Paul is also an undead who passed the qualifiers for the city lord election, and it is normal for so many fanatical fans to follow here.

It's better to say that Paul is also good-looking, and his martial arts skills are strong.

A strong man with excellent hand-to-hand combat skills is very attractive in his own right, and that heroic appearance is not normal for women who are not fascinated by him.

"No, it's not that simple. Since I rarely encountered humans in the Demon Realm, I approached them with a slightly interested Baldel doll and listened carefully to what they were talking about. ”

Hey, aren't you sinning......

Ignoring my disapproving look, Baldel said again with interest:

"One of them, a little girl named Melia, who was dressed in the robes of a member of the Mage Association of the Human Continent, seemed to talk about a very interesting topic. For example, the headless horseman named Paul was a member of the Inquisition of the Holy See or something. ”

Seeing that Bardel paused and smiled, I waited with bated breath.

Melia......

"You seem to know a lot of things. Can you elaborate a little bit more, for example, do those two human girls live here?"
