Vol 9 Chapter 140 (2/2)
I thought a bit
“… Could I get you to investigate more into Zayin and Lorphys?”
Rauno-san made a serious expression
“What do you want to know? Any more info than that, and I’ll have to hitch a ride there and investigate it h”
Miranda was still standing next to ive her take on thethis case to me in its entirety
(But that’s just how skilled this athering, it seeh competence to infiltrate)
“You’ll go there yourself?”
When I posed the question, he shrugged his shoulders, and spoke in a joking tone
“There’s no one but me and Innis here Give me the time and money, and I’ll be able be able to look up quite a bit”
The voices from the Jewel told me the information they wanted
I took them into account, when I spoke
“Then Zayin’s goal, their rations and the scale of their troops I’d like you to confir in on their side as well The sa countries as well?”
Rauno-san opened his mouth, and after a space of silence, he shook his head
“Oy, could it be you plan to join in the war yourself? I’ a small fortune Even if you pick a side as a her than your reward”
Information quality, and amount… that’s just how much value it would have
“Can you do it?”
Rauno-san scratched his head
“The time period?”
“We plan to carry out guild requests for a while We’ll be leaving soet all this done in a month’s time?”
Hearing a month, he made a doubtful expression I kneas physically iet together in that timeframe
From the Jewel, I heard the Sixth’s voice
『Lyle, I’m sure you already understand this, but… don’t trust this et information from other information dealers as well』
I gripped the Jewel, and Rauno-san opened his mouth
“I can get their rations and internal affairs But the e at the drop of a hat Even if I probe into it, by the time I tell you, it’ll have risen or fallen I’ll also say that the surrounding countries will be impossible”
I nodded, and confirmed the fee
Listing transport costs, lodging at the destination, and food as necessary expenses, Rauno-san began calculating it out
The Fourth spoke
『Yeah~ that’s a bit high He looks skilled, but I can’t really say how skilled』
I nodded, and officially issued the request to him I paid the down, and filled out the paperwork And after me and Miranda paid the previous request’s fee to Innis, we left the building

Within the Jewel
Called in by the Sixth, I was given a battle axe… a halberd to hold
“Um, my specialty is sabres…?”
When I said that with a troubled face, the Sixth sighed
『Are you an idiot? You plan to continue using a sabre on a battlefield? No, if it’s you, perhaps you’d be able to pull it off… but you’ll need a weapon ht for the plains of war』
Made right for the plains of war Meaning I’ll have to put up a fight everyone will remember while on the battlefield
Surrounded by enemies in full plate armor, I’m sure there will be some cases where I won’t be able to use my mass-produces sabres
“Then how about the First’s Giant Sword, or the Second’s Bow?”
‘Not bad,’ said the Sixth, as he pushed the battleaxe onto me
『The First’s sword isn’t bad, but that one costs too oing to be a flower on the battlefield』
“Ah~, I see what you mean”
While bows and ic performed wonders on the battlefield, naturally, means to block them were always prepared And the ones who really stood out in their efforts were the ones who held up their weapons, and fought in close combat
It would be more memorable to see a man take down five with a sword or spear, than to see him shoot five dead
『It isn’t bad to expand your options You kno to handle it, right?』
“I have learned the basics”
Saying that, I took a stance The Sixth looked over my form, and put his hand to his chin
“You’re looking the part Now then, start by showing me your thrust”
I thrust out the halberd as told, and followed it up by cutting back with the axe portion
The Sixth looked over all my movements And after I had shown them all, he spoke
『Not bad But you’re no flexibility Right by the book, that was Well, put in a little experience, and it’s sure to beco formidable』
Hearing him tell me to put in some experience, I made a conflicted expression
“You ular basis? No practice?”
Holding a sabre was one thing, but I couldn’t help but be anxious over a halberd
The Sixth laughed
“What, nervous? Polearms aren’t bad at all Give’s you nice reach And a halberd can thrust as well as it can cut You can even use it on horseback”
I took a stance, and he did as well
Holding up the polearave a sense of unease I didn’t feel with my usual sabre The Sixth repeated a few thrusts, and I moved the weapon from side to side to parry the in on my stomach
A horizontal swipe
I jumped back to make some distance, and continued on in a defensive battle
『What’s wrong! Try swinging it dexterously like you di with that sabre of yours!』
“Even if you say it, this is too sudden to…”
The Sixth’s room of memories The scene it displayed was the yard of the round, dirt was shot onto my face
My sight was snatched, so I tried to take distance, only to stop upon sensing a fountain behind me with the Second’s 【All】
Without a word, the Sixth brought down his halberd at my face
… When I opened ht in front of me
He grinned
『You’ve still got a long way to go, Lyle』
Pulling back his weapon, he held it in one hand, and hung it over his shoulder The hted
(Is he having fun teaching his specialized weapon? Coun)
He’d shot me full of holes a nuly low nuun
(And wait, why is it that e’re all of the same house, the ancestors all have different weapons? Like how I’m a sabre user)
I picked up a sabre froh Seventh had free choice of their weapons There wasn’t any sees
The First was a giant sword
The Second a bow
The Third, quite plainly, a normal sword
The Fourth, twin daggers
The Fifth, a snake blade
The Sixth a halberd
And the Seventh, a gun
The variation was all over the place
『Is that the end of it?』
With his question, I held up the halberd
“Not yet At the very least, I’ll get one blow off of you”
When I said that with a smile, he looked surprised at first, but he soon raised a loud laugh, and held up his halberd
『Good spirit there! I’ll take you on until you’ve given up!』
So I thrust out the polearm towards him
