After that, I left for the eastern part.
On a horse. This time it's not a horse carriage.
I wanted to arrive early.
Even if it's a horse this time too, I did not hurt my ass more than when I was going to the Kingdom last time, or I just got accustomed to it.
Of course, we are disguised this time as well.
People in the capital can't notice me at first look, using Tanya's technology.
Also, Lyle behind me is disguised this time.
Although I did not apply a complete makeup, I changed my hair color, put on glasses and I had my usual armor removed.
To the biggest city in the eastern part, if you do not catch a break, except for changing horses, you will arrive within a day.
So, I arrived at the eastern part.
I got out before the sun rose and arrived early in the evening.
Since the staying time is limited, I started action immediately.
First of all I need to see the state of the office and I have to secure an inn for me and Lyle.
Meanwhile, I decided to ask Dean to listen in the streets.
"It doesn't feel the same as when I came before ... ... Is there anything heavy in the air?"
Cheerful people and a bright cityscape, that is what I saw when I came before.
However, now the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
"Yes, I can also feel a gaze with... hostility ...... it's observing us from somewhere"
The expression of Lyle affirmed it, because with his sharp senses he is very wary of the surroundings.
I did not move my line of sight and entered the office which is a relatively large building even in the city.
It is the first window immediately next to the entrance.
I am doing consultation and various procedures here.
This place is similar to every area of the territory.
The residents were quite satisfied, and the officials were busy moving around.
"……is there something wrong?"
When I was watching inside, A woman spoke to me.
Apparently it seemed like she was an official, judging from the clothes and name tag.
"I'd like to move with my sister to this area, but the commercial guild has said that it is better to check the procedure here in advance"
Lyle speaks.
"I am afraid, I will have to call you in order so please take a sweet from this wood basket while you wait."
As I was guided, we sat at a table.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, please come over here."
"How can I help you?"
A woman came and said so.
In response to her question, Lyle responds without delay in accordance with the setup we coordinated in our meeting.
Corresponding to the manual ...... Of course did it politely ...... and made a good impression on her.
"Finally, is there anything more you would like to ask?"
"...... I have heard rumors as I got here ... Apparently, I heard that the security around here is bad recently, what is the actual situation?"
"that is……"
The woman glared at our face for a moment. She seemed like that topic was out of range to talk about.
"No, honestly .... It's an embarrassing story, in fact it seems that it's about the so-called outlaws organizations fights, which seems to affect the city as well."
"Really……"
"Although it is relatively safe, in the Duke of Almeria, as you know, an escort team trained has been dispatched to cover many places. It has already reported about this case. The situation will calm down soon I guess. "
"Huh ... ... it has already been reported from the office to the escort corps?"
"Well, quite a while ago, they said something like that the procedure to solve the problem could not be launched as soon as it was notified so it's taking time, but surely it will come soon."
"Then I am relieved ... ... Thank you for today."
Then we went straight to the inn.
"... I understood a little more now, there is a story that they have already reported to the escort groups ... but have they talked to you?"
"No, not at all, and this level of reports should come to me directly from them ... ..."
"Reports from the escort corps representatives have not been raised .... And even in the case that there is no cooperation from the government office that has to report to me, reports from the escort team to you will come up, it's strange. "
"...... I do not want to live with doubts .... I will go to visit the escort team here tomorrow."
"Yes, after that, depending on Dean's report we will decide the course of action"
"... ... Milady, I got late."
It was Tanya who came in while talking.
"You came Tanya, are you okay?"
"of course"
"That's fine ... ... Hey, Tanya ... Is it possible to make my appearance change again?"
"Thinking about that, I have a wig that you my lady personally asked the development department of the Azuta Corporation to make, from that, only make-up to add and done"
"That's fine ... ... as I expected, I will infiltrate the office tomorrow."
"Ok"
At this time, Dean is back.
"... How was it? Dean"
"I can not say for sure yet ... but ... I have a feeling, it's strange."
"You feel that it's strange?"
"Yes, the story of the Vortic Family I heard in the streets and what was causing the noise that I actually saw ... It's quite different ... Impressive, is not it?"
"Did you see the people who were making a fuss today?"
"Yes, I was there"
"By the way, what were they doing?"
"They were holding down some of the goods that we saw are not being distributed in the report... There was a business man dealing with imported goods from foreign countries, there was a lot of money wrapped up there. I heard they said, when the payment is complete they will return the goods."
"Indeed ... Actually such a thing is going on, people will feel distrust towards us unless we move soon, in addition to the gossip of Dida, this is a way to create dissension. I think that they are trying to break the profits of Azuta Corporation, do you think they are aiming at it? "
"Yes, probably"
"I think we need to try to exploit the riot that happened as a material to attack me, rather than saying a new rumor.... Well, what we have to prevent is that Dorsen comes to where Dida is, it will be damaging for us anyway if that happens."
"Yeah. should I see him as soon as possible?"
"Well, Tanya, could you please?"
"Ok"
"Then, Dean, come to the office with me tomorrow"
"Yes"
And the first day in the eastern area is over.
