Vol 1 Chapter 36 (2/2)
“R-really? What’s the situation? Howtransferred?”
“One hundred and fifty people Several citizens were injured, though all from snow cover-related events”
“One hundred fifty… then, don’t they need more blankets and food?”
“The transportation of supplies will be handled by the trailing group Since the royal capital’s residents were told to expect this so other than the journey’s supplies”
Don’t try to ame
With that implied by her words, as expected even thethe mood
Hearing about the latest tur by When Ilya looked away, one of the
“Who are you? You’re speaking awfully clearly, but is your information authentic?”
“Yes Being inforuilds”
Hearing the thieves guild htly
(Your occupation being listed in the status colu Tears]’ spy-san?)
By not providing feints or preparing counter infore turn
While Ilya would eously, on the other hand it was hard for her to explain how she knew information that she shouldn’t know This was a drawback
Although the latter part seemed to cause a bit of distrust—
“Ilya’s inforuarantee it”
[Blue Sword]’s testiuild, dispelled their complaints
Just as the , Cynthia caistration finished
“Is there anything else?”
A silent affirmation
“When ill return your registration cards As soon as the seventh caravan group is organized, please extricate the royal capital citizens… I sincerely hope for everyone’s success”
A the private rooistration cards, Ilya called for two of the representatives
The uild [Scarlet Twin Blades]’ representative Grace, and [Blue Sword]’s representative Fidel Although [Scarlet Twin Blades] was full of powerful members that weren’t inferior to those in [Blue Sword], Grace wasn’t suited for command due to her excessive personality
However, exactly because Grace was like that, she could entrust it to her
“Please have everyone fro Tears]”
“… Arrest them?”
“No, there’s no proble them down if you need They would be a nuisance”
“Merciless as ever, Ilya”
With Fidel’s bitter shed merrily
“It can’t be helped if they’re enemies”
“Yeah”
Although the subject was dangerous, neither of their responses wavered These two’s characteristics caure things out even if they were left unsaid
“My best regards”
“”Leave it to us””
While the tere being seen out of the private room, Fidel halted and turns around
“We only decided to participate in the rescue groups because you were here”
“Haah…”
“Why aren’t you joining that , I wonder?”
By that roup’s for conducted on the third floor’s parlor
“Only asked because it was on my mind a bit Sorry”
“It’s nothing I’ll wish for your safety”
“Un”
With Fidel’s exit from the room, the only people left in it were Ilya, Haku, and Cynthia”
“I was also a little surprised there”
Cynthia spoke whilea chair back to a table
“When Ilya processes coive advice? Even when they don’t ask You only say soer if they attacked a monster head on”
“… Un Well”
Cynthia was a human
Although their upper limits were lower, there were many humans that held all kinds of skills In a race like that, with the [Observation] skill she forged as a receptionist, she was able to see through people’s abilities to some extent as they accepted commissions
It wasn’t surprising that Ilya could see through people like that as well, but she was at a loss for what to say with this ti
“That’s why, there’s a lot of people thinking, ‘Will Ilya advise this subjugation group too?’ You know? People that you’ve given advice, and the staff”
“It’s not as though it’s decided that they won’t succeed without advice Even if they don’t know that”
“Un That’s right, isn’t it”
However, Cynthia looked up into the air
“I just feel a little anxious Like I wonder if we’d be alright if we didn’t have Ilya~, or so”
“Because I’ it”
“Right? Ahaha”
She knew that Cynthia’s laugh had no ill will in it Even so, Ilya still felt like it hit the bull’s-eye She didn’t want to participate in the ice dragon’s subjugation
It was because the ice dragon wasn’t a monster
“Pi…?”
It wasn’t because she looked after Haku, as a far away relative to it
In this world where survival of the fittest reigned, she had no objection for people to collide against those that couldn’t coexist She didn’t ood
To begin with, she, who had killed many species, had no qualification to say that
—Just, if she joined, it would be different, like greatly shi+fting the balance of power
As Cynthia said, Ilya would li advice when ation coainst monsters, she wouldn’t stop them unless there was a difference in power to the point that they would certainly die
Only through killing would the world’s gloo advice if it was demons or monsters that were themselves born from the world’s distortion But in addition, when it canore the at all
She wouldn’t help since it wasn’t a monster However, what if it came to this town?
Unable to co what she’d do, Ilya let out a sigh
