"The information on the candidate location for the seal is very detailed, and as for the arrangements for the investigation, we will carefully consider it, so we don't need your thieves to participate in the future. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Sokite, you have done a good job, you have worked hard recently. ”

"You're laughing, Your Excellency Esthein. ”

After referring to the information on the document, I was ready to find time to discuss it with Ah Shu again, so I put it into the space ring.

Once we have information about what could be the location of the seal, we'll have to rely on ourselves.

The Matt Thieves are the Lexel's Snakes, but to be honest, they're just a rabble that aren't accepted by the rules of the city. The strongest is none other than Matt, a chameleon assassin of the fifth rank, who is of little use.

Even a head-on battle Paul can defeat it in a matter of minutes, not to mention the unfathomable Ashu.

The candidate locations for the seal are not ordinary places that ordinary people can visit, and the elite route will be more efficient.

What's more-

“…… It's not too early now. Alice, you and Nia go to the front desk of the inn to open a single room for Soquet, and by the way, make an appointment for the first carriage to get to the city in the morning, and we'll have to get down to business tomorrow. ”

"Eh, I still have to run errands at this time. Well, well, who made Alice your guardian of Uncle Bone. ”

After a reluctant complaint.

Seeing the look I gave her, the werewolf Lori finally agreed with an expression that was not happy to praise me.

"Well, and I've been resting for a long time, and if I don't move, I'll become a waste like Uncle Bone. Sister Nia, let's go, I heard that this hotel also provides supper service, but I started to get hungry after soaking in the hot springs just now. ”

"Eh, yes. But Alice, you seem to have eaten a lot today, I see, okay then. ”

As if shocked by the werewolf Lori's appetite, Nia was pulled out of the room by the werewolf Lori with a helpless face.

After the two of them went out, looking at the quiet living room, I put on my nightcap leisurely.

"It's been a long time since you've given you, so it's almost time to think about it. Do you want to continue your identity as a watcher or become the new leader of the thieves, have you figured it out?"

Said to Sokite, who had heard my question and had a nervous expression on his face that had finally come after a long wait.

It seems that he has thought carefully about it these days.

"Well, I've been thinking about your suggestion for the past few days, and I already have the answer in mind. But in the end I have some questions that I would like to ask, and I know it is a bit arrogant to ask you a question, but if you can, I want you to answer as much as you can. ”

In response to my question, Soquet, who had dark circles under his eyes, shook his head, and suddenly showed an extremely cautious look.

"Aesiin Court...... No, Venerable Demon King Candidate, why are you helping our brothers and sisters who are slaves?"

Then he lowered his head and asked in a pleading manner.

…… As for why.

Because I just happened to want to find a guy similar to a contact in Rixel, and the guy who is obedient and doesn't want a salary is of course the more the merrier, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be suitable for saying.

"Well, there are a lot of reasons for that. But, well, the main reason is that Matt and you are half-orcs. ”

"Half-orc...... and half-orc?"

Ignoring my somewhat embarrassed tone of voice for making up the scene for the sake of the scene, Sokite looked up with a puzzled face.

Isn't it that weird to say the wrong thing?

"Ah, that's right. I'm a little disappointed that you didn't include a mood particle like "meow" at the end of the sentence, but in my original life...... Country, half-orcs with cat ears, well, how to say it. In a sense, it's very popular. ”

"Is there such a country? ”

Sokite, who seemed to hear the unbelievable, took a few steps back with concern, only to tripped over a chair and fell to the ground.

It's not that exaggerated, is it......

"No, it's nothing, Lord Ishine. It's just that Nia and I have been slaves of the thieves since we were children, and we have never left Rixel. But it seems that the pure-blooded orcs in the regiment despise the half-orcs, and our lives ...... Not so good. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Sokite lowered his head a little lonely and continued to speak as if explaining.

"Because my brother and sister have been able to steal a lot of money over the years, we are in a slightly better situation. I've also asked many of the other slaves in the group who have seen the outside world, and it seems that because the orcs are weak, they are considered inferior orcs. It's not easy to survive anywhere. ”

I see.

In other words, because of the half-blood, the combat ability of the orcs has been weakened. In a different world where the hard power of the race determines its status, the status will also decrease if the combat power decreases.

But there's nothing you can do about it.

After all, it's a very difficult world, and it's still a demon world where the jungle eats the strong, and life is like garbage.

Although I don't have any racism in the background, I think the orcs are a wonderful race. But even the supreme god of another world can't solve the problem of contradictions and disputes between species, and I don't plan to change the worldview of another world.

I haven't even solved my own safety problems, so how can I still be nosy.

"The choice of how far you can do it is up to you. With that in mind, do you have any other questions?"

"No, no. It's a lie to say that it's not for myself, but no matter what, I don't want to be treated the way I used to be. I hope to be the leader of the thieves, Your Excellency Esthein!"

After shaking her head and coming back to her senses, Sokite showed sharp eyes and said in a tone of unquestionable firmness.

Well, it looks like you've made up your mind.

And I also like the answer, only a win-win cooperation can last for a long time.

"Very well, this decision is yours to make. Let's talk about it first, we will support you as much as possible, but how to train your own team and how to override Matt's rights is your own problem, and I will not provide a solution. ”

"Well, I know, if you can't do it if you have the support of Your Excellency Eshuin, that's just my problem. ”

Looking at Soquet's excited expression, I was worried that he, who had been staying up late for a long time and suddenly getting excited, would die suddenly because of the sad reason of heart failure.

I haven't had time to manage this group of thieves recently, so let's put an end to it......

"It's good that you understand, that's the way it is. Until then, you'll need to fully continue the mission of monitoring the bandits' movements. Now I'm going to go to bed, and you'll go get some sleep when Alice and the others get back, you look like you're going to die of overwork at any moment. ”

"Eh, yes. I see, Aesiin Court...... Demon King Alternate. ”

"Sounds awkward, you might as well call me Boss Ession like Niah. ”

Ignoring Sokite who wanted to continue, I waved my back to him and walked back to my room.

During this time, let's see if he has the ability to take over the thieves.

Matt's guy doesn't seem to be a soft-hearted guy, but as the leader of a group of thieves, he is definitely very qualified, and this kind of gray group is not suitable for people who don't know what it means to be ruthless.

But such a precious resource must be controlled without hidden dangers before leaving Lexel.

With that in mind, I made sure that the door was locked, put on my blindfold, and put the quilt over my head.

Go to bed!
