Vol 9 Chapter 139 (2/2)
Having heard that, Noveht
But frohted voices
The Third spoke
『Hmm, a war of ten thousands, huh?』
The Fourth
『Preparing will be a bitch We’ll need so to have Lyle join in』
The Fifth as well
『Should we ride the winning horse, or aioal of increasing his ally count』
The Sixth denied it
『But inning and spreading his naood as well In that case, it’d becoather around hie-scale warfare before I think it too rough to aim for a turnabout here 』
The Seventh
『But it’s a chance nonetheless Let’s take an assertive stance on intervention Be that as itto start』
Aed in the direction of my participation in the war
(… What about my opinion?)

Once we returned to the inn, uild
Everyone had gathered in my room, so the space felt quite narrow
Monica prepared tea, and we sipped it as we discussed the matter
Shannon spoke
“… So the a to take increased? Why not just decline them?”
If that was possible, it would be so uild itself seeh adventurers for the requests
If ent about things as usual, I doubt they’d be satisfied with it
More so, I wanted to get the, at least to an extent
Miranda addressed Shannon
“And the fact that wasn’t going to happen is e’re all here discussing it If we’re going to accept one with little benefit this ti requests, we’ll be hard pressed from an income standpoint as well”
Our incoic Stones and materials we found on the way
Coation, our revenue dropped a few levels
If you completed a nu, but there was so more I had to say
“On top of that, in the co war between Lorphys and Zayin… We will be participating in it as well”
When she heard that, Eva seeht, she must yearn for battlefields as a minstrel
I can’t think it would be anything fun to watch, but it’s true that hero tales are preferred by a large portion of the populace
“Imprudent as it may be, I’m interested”
But the divine beast May couldn’t comprehend it
“Killing one another of the sarew, perhaps an extension of a turf dispute?”
It was a turf dispute in itself
Clara spoke
“But our scope can’t be considered that ood quality, ades must stress on numbers as well And it isn’t certain ill make any money if we participate”
We didn’t have the kno to join in and make a profit as eable in that field
The Fourth offered me some advice
『Lyle, say you’ll gather information On top of that, schedule out the requests into tioods for them』
I opened my mouth
“Our participation in it is a definite fact But for noill prioritize gathering information The result of that intel will see off our course of action, and I was thinking to gather info as we carried out the requests”
When I announced the verdict, Aria hesitated a bit
“But, doesn’t thathumans, won’t we?”
When Aria looked around her, Miranda spoke
“If we’re going to have to experience it eventually, getting a feel for the atmosphere at least once would be preferable But I don’t want to die a dog’s death If I think it too reckless, I will oppose you”
Rather than personally being against it, she seemed worried that I may take reckless actions When I nodded, Novem opened her mouth
“Alette-san asked that you write a letter of introduction, but perhaps you were too rash She is sure to return to her ho Zayin’s side, ill become mutual enemies”
When everyone recalled Alette-san, she wasn’t one they could bring themselves to hate, so I’m sure they had their share on their minds And she ithout a doubt, a competent one
I can’t really say she’d e the battlefield for the first tiets
Monica spoke
“Hmm, this is a little troublesome If it were a little sooner, I could be ofas you have I, Monica alongside you, we’ll have the strength of thousands I’m a maid, after all!”
I scoffed
“Then ill you do with ten thousand enemies? Even if you take on a thousand yourself, just how many would that leave? And why is it that a maid is supposed to put us at rest?”
On le spin, and let her twin tails sway She pinched the sides of her skirt, and lifted theive a tidy bow
“That’s just the sort of thing a maid is And the currentI couldn’t do before has become possible!”
The only change I ever saas how her convenient cleaning and cooking tools had multiplied
I gave a vague reply, and looked over everyone
“Any objections to our participation… none? Then our actions fro the requests we’ve accepted But we’ll leave some members in Beim to collect information”
With nine, we could still co a number behind
There, Miranda raised her hand
“Any ideas, Miranda?”
“Right I’ve given work to a number of inforot to know quite a skilled one I’ll introduce you to him, Lyle”
She said that with a smile, but her words caused me to recall
(She said she had Noveators beforehand)
Miranda tacked so onto that
“I also had hi Bahnsei to what he has to say, isn’t it?”
I looked at her I had a few things I wanted to say, but having said so, I couldn’t really criticize her in taking action of her own accord
(What’stowards my sake)
If it was going to drag my feet, I would be able to caution her, but…
“Understood I’ll ive my thanks It’s just, next time, it’ll help if you consult with me beforehand”
When I said that, the Fourth
『Lyle, how about you foot the information bill? She’s sure to have spent quite a sum on it That one’s your responsibility』
I gripped the Jewel, and spoke
“And tell me how much it cost I’ll pay it”
Miranda slid the hair in front of her ear back
“Oh, then perhaps I should say a hundred gold or two”
She said that in a joking tone
“Fine If it cost that much, then I’ll pay it”
Her expression turned serious
“I lied But I’d like you to be firs I’ood”
Thinking her quite integrous, I nodded, and confirm the sum Miranda had really paid
The sixth spoke
『As expected of Miranda! With this, we’ve saved the trouble of searching out an information dealer』
There, the Fifth
『Are you an idiot? There may be a better one out there And we’ll need much, much more inforh?』
After attaining everyone’s approval, I stood to put it to action
(Now then, I wonder what it’ll come down to)
I doubt it will be that convenient for me, but if I wanted to defeat Celes, then I’d have to use whatever I could
(I can’t keep being so easy-going)
Or so I thought
