Vol 10 Chapter 164 (2/2)
If they’re going to use the people were best
Warriors over tacticians
That’s why Tanya-san told on or two
Finished reading through the papers, Miranda turned her field of vision to me
“Anyways, if ant to have a chance, it’ll be with that Vera girl, you say? Lyle, think you can get her to fall?”
As she asked that quite naturally, I pointed both my palms at her, and shook my head
“I have no idea what you’re talking about Fall? Would a cliff be involve? Even like this, I still have quite a resistance when it coirls, you know”
Rauno-san looked at Miranda
“If you want a chance, it’ll be with the girl, is what I’ It’s unbelievably low Of all else, I haven’t heard any talks of her being a flippant one And at present, the tier than her time on land I asked the sailors, but apparently, she’s a Goddess of fortune, and not a target of romantic affection”
Hearing about Goddesses of fortune, I tilted my head
“Goddess of Fortune?”
Rauno said, ‘it’s just a rumor, you know,’ asnd said it was an unreliable tidbit of info
“No e, if Vera is aboard, it will succeed… it isn’t just the sailors that believe that The people of the Trēs house do too That’s why Vera’s a Goddess of fortune”
I looked at the documents, as I put my hand to my chin, and pondered over it
(If ant money, this is the best place… with other merchant houses, they’ll have relations with other adventurers or mercenaries That’s not bad, but I don’t like how it feels they’re going to restrict our movements)
As I thought, Miranda looked at led to herself
“Coht? How about hopping aboard one of the Trēs House’s state of the art shi+ps? It’ll shorten the way there and back”
Rauno-san as well
“Coe scale model with quite some speed to it I heard it was Vera’s personal one, but there’s no doubt about it”
The state of the art shi+p the Trēs house didn’t want to sink at all costs, was naturally given to Vera-san
“Well, putting seducing the lass aside, you’ll at least have a chance to talk and see if you can get some support”
There, the Fourth let out an interested voice
『Come to think of it, I’ve never tested the effectiveness of my Skill on a shi+p It does work on smaller boats, mind you』
The Third
『Ah, that sounds nice If he can raise the speed of shi+ps, then Lyle’s got so to offer to the Trēs House』
The one to oppose those two opinions was the Fifth
『He , and there’ll be disputes, so you’d best stop it there Though there shouldn’t be any problems if it’s just to test it out Still, Trēs and a Goddess… a coincidence? Sure doesn’t feel like it』
I thought over the Fifth’s words, as I got all the papers together, and handed theer to trace Vera’s na
“How interesting Last time Novem denied Princess Annerinne, but I wonder how it’ll turn out this time around”
Hearing that, Rauno-san covered his mouth
“That rumor was true? What’s more, Damien of Aru this time?”
I stood, and addressed him
“I’ll leave the pay this ti off to complete a request”
I said that with a smile, but it doesn’t look like he believed it
“I do think dragon slaying is ihthood… well, if it’s nothing, then so be it And just hand the reward toexpenses, and I only get chicken feed over here”
Miranda laughed at his words
“Don’t want to I want to stay on good ter costs”
Rauno gave an unmotivated response of, ‘It’s a pain And it works out one way or another, even if we default,’ as he lay down on the sofa
I thought
(When he’s so unsteady in life, why is his work so thorough?)
I became a bit interested in the man known as Rauno

… Nove Company
She carried a letter of introduction frouild, and dropped by with Clara to ask if they’d let the party board their shi+p
They were let into a back rooive thes The man in his thirties wore a stylish suit, and had a soft demeanor
He sat on a sofa, opposite with a low coffee table between them Clara put the offered drink to her mouth, and it didn’t seem she would participate in the conversation
Novem told the man their business
“We have heard there is a boat bound north That it’s movement speed is a cut across the rest Would it be possible for you to take us on board?”
There, the e replied
“I have read over the Guild’s letter of introduction I never thought the Holy Knight of rumor’s party would er shi+p It has the necessary facilities, but we can’t just have you hitch a ride and leave, can we? I do think it would be safest if you rode a shi+p provided by the Guild”
The region the Land Dragon subjugation had co to reach on land They would need to cross a e, and while it wasn’t impossible, a land route wasn’t much of an option
And a guild shi+p would also take too long That was on top of the dangers of it sinking
(… To be honest, it would be possible for us to get there by ourselves)
Novem spoke with a smile
“We are not requesting a free ride Our objective is to shorten our travel period We will be able to pay money to compensate”
There, the man pretended to think hard on it…
“Unfortunately, even if you offer money, I think it’ll be difficult It’s our state-of-the-art large-scale vessel after all Some parts of its craft have been kept to absolute secrecy If you insist so heavily, could you board a different shi+p? It’ll be one of our own shi+ps, and with the guild’s high recoe”
Fro intent to refuse At that h the room
The , and heading for the door
“What is it? When we’re dealing with guests…”
The man’s voice outside was barely audible
“… No, wasn’t this matter my jurisdiction…”
It see outside the room
Clara emptied her tea, and looked at the door
“It sounds difficult As expected, they don’t want us to approach their Goddess of fortune? Well,there are those sorts of rumors about Lyle-san”
After hearing the ruht hter aboard the same vessel That’s why Noveotiate
It had ended in failure That’s what Noveht, but…
“… No, there’s soe”
She could hear some flustered voices on the other side of the door
“… At a time like this? B-but still, we could find adventurers to take up guard duty anywhere… understood I’ll try asking Tell the boss that as well”
The door opened, and the man entered He looked a little more impatient than before, but his smile hadn’t crumbled
And the man…
“I apologize for before And our circued If you will accept a request of ours, we shall accept the previous matter Of course, ill also pay a considerable reward for it”
Seeing the e in attitude, Novem smiled
“Could you go into the details?”
And said that…
