Volume 11 Chapter 176 (1/2)
Dangerous Individual
”Poppycock! What is theof all this!?”
… A wide room
It was the orkrooht poured in fros were displayed about
Dabbling inCompany was one of the prominent mercantile houses of Beim Fidel was a representative in the city's merchant council, and one of the most influential traders in the city
Such a lared at the thirty-year-old man before his eyes
The ave an excuse
”I-I apologize! But thinking guards would be essential, I appointed the to those who've coated, and o was intact, so…”
”I didn't ask for your excuses! Just what sort of man did you put aboard Vera's shi+p!? Just look at this! That princess of Lorphys has completely lost her backbone, has she not!? And then Zayin! The Holy Maiden, and former Holy Maiden… relations with not one, but both of them!”
The reason for Fidel's rage was quite sihter Vera's shi+p rode an adventurer, while whose skill was assured, was a knoomanizer
He wanted to get this time's transaction to succeed no matter what
And that's why he had sent his daughter, but up to that point, the only thing he had heard from his men, was that they had hired a talented adventurer for the job
After they encountered the Trident Serpent, and the stories of its defeat spread through Beim, he became interested in that adventurer's identity
It would be a good idea to -term contract with thehter's life As busy as he was, Fidel couldn't see his daughters too often, but he did still treasure them quite a bit
And upon investigating that savior, he was definitely a
To an extent it could be called a blessing they were able to hire them
But to Fidel, an unbelievable truth had coht in those documents
He had ended up letting a shady adventurer he shouldn't have on his daughter's shi+p He was filled with regret
”T-this man, isn't it likely he has a dubious Skill to ensnare wo to do if he ends up laying hands on Vera!?”
On Fidel's rage, the man who'd hired Lyle's party looked confused
”S-still, he has a high evaluation from the Guild, and when it came to the job…”
”Like I care about that! He's a da deeper into the Guild, how can you say for sure!? Kuh… Vera's body is in danger, is it not!?”
The man looked at Fidel, a little fed-up He could be respected when it cahter was involved, he couldn't help but be prone to excessive worrying
For that sake, he had properly put assigned guards to Vera, and his other daughter, 【Gina Trēs】
The man recalled that fact
”Please calm down, Fidel-sama Around Lady Vera are those robust sailors To theet close to her so easily And above the sea is their domain”
Even so, Fidel looked anxious
He rustled up his black swept-back hair, spread out the document he had crumpled, and reconfirmed the details
”I-it's true that Vera is adored by the sailors Our luck was off this tile adventurer whelp would never be able to ensnare her…”
But Fidel thought
(Since he cah request cootten involved in Labyrinth Subjugation There's no doubt he's proficient I did hear he played mercenary in Zayin, but the result was the best he could have hoped for Still, the aht, should I should I get the Guild to look into is? Souished and confined at an early stage Right This isn't because Vera is in danger It's for the sake of the world!)
Giving an excuse to himself, Fidel decided to move around a few pieces before Vera's return
Beiement of the merchants
If a merchant of his level called out, there were many ould move
Straightening out his hair, Fidel crushed the report into a ball, and tossed it into a trash can He lightly traced a finger down his prided moustache
”… We'll go out to meet them when they arrive at the port And prepare soot to prepare another reward too”
This ti to the man The Vera Trēs couldn't even be sunken by the Trident Serpent
He couldn't say it was she shi+p's contribution that defeated it, but you never kneould happen as sea Make others believe in your luck, and that was enough to increase the nuo to you
When the goods arrived safely, more people would use the service
The man nodded with a serious face, and left the room
Before restarting his work, Fidel wrote up a letter to the Guild
”Het close to my Vera, and I'll have you disappear If you've laid a hand on her, then…”
With a dark smile on his face, he finished the letter, and returned to his work…

… Tanya received a suement under her Tahnia name
Along with her superior, she had been called to the main branch
Both of them looked perplexed at the executive's impatient expression
”From your eyes, what sort of person is this Lyle Walt? You can tell he's a skilled one just froe his nature?”
In an uneasy main branch, what's more, in front of its top brass, Tahnia felt lost
”He is a skilled adventurer, and I can't say there are any proble hie, and this tion in…”
”Not that Next What do you think?”
The executive sought out her boss's opinion Tahnia thought she had conversed with enough people at the counter to be a good judge of character, so she was more fit for the question
But as outranked as she was here, she kept her mouth closed
”Even if you askmore to say than what's written on the reports Has there been some sort of problem?”
The executivehard to say, and presented a single envelope
Seeing the name on the cover, Tahnia's boss opened his eyes wide
”One of the representatives of Beim… Fidel Trēs's letter has stated their concern, and called him out by name, so here we are”
Hearing that na her face to her hand She endured it, and remained expressionless, but in her head…
(What the hell are you doing, Lyle-kun That isn't so an enemy of)
Skilled, but an adventurer with a screw or two blown out That was the current general evaluation of Lyle
Because there was no way soht with an entire country, s of a living legend, and even in Beim, there were some moved to probe into his situation
Many were surprised to see hiovernment in Zayin
(Is he going to do soain?)
A nervous Tahnia heard some words from the executive's mouth
”Have you heard anything of that Lyle-kun using any Skills that effect the psyche? It seems he's always surrounded by woman, more so, he leads a standard harem party, doesn't he? If he's harmless, on't view him as a problem, but, well…”
The Guild wasn't run by fools They kept tabs on adventurers with such doubts, and this was Beim… their headquarters even known as the Capital of Adventurers
They had such countermeasures prepared
Tahnia's superior spoke with a serious expression
”It has been confirmed he uses multiple Skills If I recall correctly, he has a Support Class blue gem on his person It's a fact that most mind control Skills are part of Support Understood, I'll start looking into it right away”
”I' yet Once he's done with the Land Dragon, and has returned to port, send someone out Headquarters will also dispatch some personnel”
(Psychological Skills are definitely dangerous, but as long as you have a level of resistance… no, with Lyle-kun's level of ability, half-baked adventurers wouldn't be able to put up a fight As a possibility, it's plenty possible It is, but… I really don't think he's that sort of kid)
Tahnia felt things were getting a little complicated…

”… What?”
The Vera Trēs departed, and I was invited to Vera-san's stateroom
With a reddened face, she cast her eyes down, and grasped both my hands…
