Chapter 3 Episode 32

*Unedited*

Daytime, Day 12th, 6th Month, the Year 2813, Western continent calendar.

The downtown area of the fortified city Epiroz.

A man entered a love hotel located in the back of the dirty alley.

The man throws a gold coin to the inn receptionist in silent.

The owner of the inn who was doing the bookkeeping while sitting on the chair slightly lifted his eyes as if urged the man to go toward the second floor.

There was no need for the man to ask.

Since they already arranged everything beforehand.

”Room 204...”

The owner of the inn tells the number of the room when the man began to climb the stairs.

After told the man the necessary information, the innkeeper turned his face away. -

In this line of business, the necessary mannerism was to not see, not heard and not questioning.

Many visitors to this place were people who wish to avoid public eyes.

Despite being a love hotel, there were also men and women who met here not to have s.e.x.

However, for the inn owner, as long they pay the money, what the visitors do was inconsequential.

If one wanted to live long, one should never investigate the customers.

Forget about a cat, the demon called curiosity could kill human easily.

After putting the gold coin into the wallet, the inn owner turned his eyes toward the book once again.

If someone were to ask who was the man just now, the inn owner would answer,

'There's no reason for a customer to come and stay inside this kind of inn, no?'

”Long time no see, your Excellency, Baron Mikos.h.i.+ba. I heard the matters regarding the pirates have been being dealt safely. Congratulation...”

When the man stepped into the room, Simone rose from her chair and gently lowered her head.

She wore a red dress with large b.r.e.a.s.t.s opening, accompanied by the red lipstick on her lips.

The dress had a large slit, and a slim white leg jumps into Ryouma's eyes from the gap.

Today she dressed and looked sensual just like a prost.i.tute that can be found somewhere.

Even the people who knew her face won't be able to a.s.sociate her present appearance to that of the chairman of the Christoph firm.

No matter how one looked at it, Simone right now looked like a s.e.xy prost.i.tute.

”Indeed, it's been a long time, Simone... As expected of you, you have very keen ears...”

While he opened his hood, Ryouma showed a bitter smile on his face toward Simone who had already obtained the information that he had just reported to the Earl and his wife before he came here.

”I've heard rumors that floating around since a month ago. Besides, the damage done by the pirates also have been drastically reduced. Furthermore, having Baron-sama come to Epiroz city is also the proof...”

As she said that, Simone returned Ryouma smile with her gentle smile.

One day, the story about a town or villages being attacked by pirates had stopped.

As a merchant with a good brain, she immediately gathered information on what had happened.

Besides, Simone had been asked by Ryouma to act as a merchant and a spy for him. -

After she linked the information she had gathered and Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma who had appeared in the city of Epiroz, such conclusion naturally appeared inside her mind.

”But still, Simone, it seems like you have chosen an amazing place to meet huh...?”

After she heard Ryouma's words accompanied with a bitter smile on his face, Simone showed a mischievous smile just like a child whose mischief had been succeeded.

In the present stage, it was not easy for the two people to meet, since Earl Salzberg would show unnecessary caution if he finds out about it.

Following that pattern, Simone then chooses this love hotel located in the back of a dirty alley to escape other people eyes.

Although Ryouma held the lowest rank of n.o.bility, and Simone was the chairman of the Christoph firm, who previously also served as the chairman of the Epiroz city business alliance.

For normal people, this place was too shabby for this two man and woman met.

”This place is just right for a clandestine meeting between men and women after all...”

It was certainly a place to avoid public gaze.

It was located in the back of a dirty alley.

It was a dark place, but if one were to have money, everything can be done here...

It was a convenient place for Simone and Ryouma who wanted to avoid the Earl Salzberg' watchful eyes.

Even if Ryouma was being traced, he can make as many excuses as he wanted, such as he met a prost.i.tute here as a customer.

If he said that he was going to buy a woman here, that alone can become a reason why he wanted to hide his face.

Just for the record, Simone was supposedly lying at home due to illness for these past several days. -

”So then? Have you managed to prepare what I had asked?”

Inside, Ryouma immediately cut the case despite being overwhelmed by the mysterious s.e.xy charm that Simone gave away.

He could not stare at her figure forever.

After all, he had come here despite the risk because it was necessary for the two of them to meet directly and talked to each other.

”We already bought two s.h.i.+ps and currently the s.h.i.+ps were anch.o.r.ed at the port city of Mispoz.”

Simone then took out the map from the bag placed under her chair and spread the map on the table.

Mispoz was a port city located at the eastern end of the Kingdom of Ernestgora.

It cannot be compared to the Fulzad city, the largest trading city of the western continent.

While Ryouma building his base within the Wortenia peninsula, Simone had begun preparing the merchant s.h.i.+ps at Mispoz city.

”Two s.h.i.+ps huh... How big was it?”

”It was the largest galleon type s.h.i.+p that was currently being sold. All the seafarers we hired are skilled and also has the experience of naval battle.”

”I see, it seems like you managed to think a lot of things eh?”

”Well, it was because I also considering converting the s.h.i.+p to a wars.h.i.+p after all.”

Simone flatly responded to Ryouma's question.

Despite purchasing the s.h.i.+p using the Christoph firm money, she told Ryouma that she was willing using the s.h.i.+p as a wars.h.i.+p in an emergency situation.

Ryouma had a smile on his face hearing what she had said.

”You're such a great risk taker indeed...”

Ryouma and Simone have already had a relations.h.i.+p where they both shared the same fate.

The words Simone had said that she was ready to use the trade s.h.i.+ps as wars.h.i.+ps was a proof of how much she had prepared for every situation.

Toward Ryouma's remark, Simone quietly smiled and directed her gaze at Ryouma.

”How about the harbor?”

They both had pre-arranged their individual role.

Simone role was to procures s.h.i.+ps and secures trade channels.

While Ryouma's role was to eliminate the pirates and constructs the harbor.

Although the elimination of the pirates had already finished, she hadn't yet heard anything regarding the port.

She did not doubt Ryouma's ability, but only a few months had pa.s.sed since he entered the peninsula.

It was natural for Simone to felt uneasy.

”No problem. There's already a city complete with the city walls. The only thing left is only to transport the people in...”
