Sevens: Gina Trēs
Gina Trēs
… Gina waited for her sister Vera, who had returned to the house from the harbor
Calling her out, saying there was so important to discuss, she prepared a room to talk with Vera alone That roootiations with visitors was rarely ever made use of by the sisters
And having called Vera to such a place, Gina touched her red hair and stared at her sister as she spoke
With the start of the sun’s set, the roo a little dim
“Vera, I’ll be blunt Could you stop giving money to that person already? It isn’t just your problem alone”
On her younger sister Gina’s words, Vera parted a cup from her mouth
“… This isn’t by father’s orders, right? What’s gotten into you so late in the gaone as far as to lay a hand on the Trēs House’s assets, you know”
Gina cut down and discarded that opinion
“As long as you back hi hie su to feel anxious Increasing the nu into port construction…”
Vera narrowed her eyes The elder sister of Gina, Vera Trēs had always been called a Goddess of fortune, contributing to the house by o So she learned of business side her father Fidel
It wasn’t as if Gina herself didn’t have knowledge, but in the practical sense, it wasn’t an understate
But even in the Trēs House, there were some who questioned the support towards Lyle
Vera spoke uninterestedly
“We can monopolize co of the scale, even you should be able to understand that it’s a ht?”
Vera’s toneIt was true the Trēs House would likely grow larger, but Vera was too often away fro called the city’s balance
The cru Gina was extremely wary of
“… I knoill be a large profit But by that, just ill the merchants of Beim think of us?”
Vera spoke
“That field is father’s job So that we aren’t the only ones otiate thethem favors is also a profit”
Favor was a profit Able to declare such a thing, it was that cold part of Vera that had kept Gina quiet up to now But this time was different
“Then is Lyle as well? Are you really just calculating profit and loss with that man?”
As Gina called Lyle’s narim
“… Don’t forget his title I’ him to the extent that I can Just because father is soft on his daughters, you should be aware he isn’t the sort of person who’d sponsor someone just because of that”
“And that’s why I want you and father to stop already Your eyes have been taken by desire But Bei”
Her sister Vera was fixated on Lyle, while her father Fidel on the monopolization of ports
So they couldn’t get a clear picture of what Beiement on the matter
And in a certain sense, she was correct
“Let me do as I please”
As she thought persuading Vera would be difficult, Gina gave her frank impressions
“Vera, that man isn’t so naïve either Once you lose your utility value, he’ll calmly toss you aside You knohat he did in Zayin and Fort Redant, Galleria and Rusworth, right? That erous And you’re just a wallet to him”
Ignoring Gina’s warning, Vera stood
“… I understand that But I won’t cause you any trouble I never chastised you over Roland, did I? And now… no, that’s enough”
As Vera left the rooer in view, she brought a cup to her mouth, and narrowed her eyes
“When my poor sister, driven out of the house, is abandoned by thataboard a shi+p suits her well I’ll have her work hard for Roland’s sake She’ll do her best for the man she once liked, so it’s not a bad fate”
Gina acted with her sister’s abandonment as the premise, but she did have a reason to er, then by those e would rise
And as that happened, ed Trēs House would be too round up, he was an earnest, and hard worker, but that alone wasn’t enough got hiovern a House of that scale
In that case, the one taking over would be Lyle, who’d already demonstrated such prowess And in essence, Vera
To add even further to that, to maintain the house, Fidel would likely pull her and Roland apart, and hasten a political e
To Gina, she definitely didn’t want it to happen So she took action…

South of Beim
In that coion, I wiped the sweat off my brow
Season-wise it was still hot, or rather, because it was south, I got the feeling it was hotter than Beim
Nove separately to coation, and village reconstruction, so I sent the that way
I, on the other hand, had coate the Labyrinth that had been discovered
Its entrance was the gate of an old fortress, and the Labyrinth itself was as if the fort’s passages continued to extend on from there
Torches lined the wall, illu the paths with an eerie purple fla at all, so I was thankful
In s like this, there were times Labyrinths would manifest as well Inaround, fated to be subjugated in no time
Most undead would disappear upon defeat, leaving only ic stones behind They had nothely a pain
There were even rues of those destroyed on the battlefield hat birthed such Labyrinths
We were dispatched to such a place, but given such circumstances, it was determined it wouldn’t amount to much money, so ere to suppress the place by force
While the entrance to the fort had turned Labyrinth, the surroundings were in tatters Numerous trees spread out randomly, and the earth was in a horrid state
I looked upon the Labyrinth with Miranda
“What do you want to do? Challenging it with us alone would be possible, but on’t get much out of it On top of that, the Guild didn’t even send anyone to survey the area… hey, aren’t they treating us worse and worse?”
The reason for Miranda’s irritation was natural With barely any support or infor
More than the East Branch, it was headquarters that had made such movements
From the Jewel, the Fifth looked at the current situation
『… In that case, is it about ti captured by theuess』
The ancestors who had anticipated it weren’t panicked at all The Third spoke without a care in the world
『More importantly, you know, if they left this place to us, then do you want to buy some time as you probe into their movements? They’ll likely make their move once Lyle’s returned to Beim, after all』
Using these circumstances, he wanted to look into Beim’s movements As always, they were reliable, but folks I didn’t want to make an enemy of I held some pity for Beim
I addressed Miranda
“… A request’s a request We’ve got to do our job properly Taking all the tih How about we set up a steady base before Noveet here?”
Fed-up, Miranda looked at me, and pressed a hand to her forehead
“Even if you say, take all the time we need, it’s just a pain, and there aren’t her side, but theit at once would be…”
As Miranda was giving her opinion Monica hurriedly ran up to me She was panicked, of rather, it felt as if she was co
