āHow did you decide you were a traitor about Mr. Meera?
āā āā What?
Everyone looks at me strangely.
Is that it?
Could you have told me?
⦠No, I feel like you havenāt talked to me yet.
āDidnāt we talk⦠apparently he still doesnāt want to admit it somewhere in his mindā
Mr. Seiselk smiled bitterly.
Two other people besides Mr. Ratlua have the same look.
āIn the meantime, thatās why you decided I was a traitor. I was concerned about Ratluaās story, thatās why I must have noticed. The merchant, Meera and Marma showed, in the eyes of a mere moment Ivy⦠I had previously perceived the same gaze of worth shown by the slaver. Thatās what prompted me to doubt it. Rick Belt and Marmaās story after that made it decisive.ā
āI didnāt notice that gaze. I didnāt believe Rutlua at all. I canāt believe I doubted my people. So to prove it, I called out to the two people who broke up with the merchant,ā You donāt see him, do you know him? āThatās what I wanted you to say. And then he said,ā I think Iām lost. Iāve been asked the way. ā
āYouāre in a hurry for Rickās behavior. However, thanks to this, I was able to determine that it was a relationship that I wanted to hide from the merchant. Well, I was uncomfortable with the two of us from around here.ā
āI went shopping for dinner with him after that, but if I hadnāt suspected it, Iād hide it so cleverly that I wouldnāt have noticed it, but I was wary of this oneā¦. I felt the same thing as the traitor Iāve been.ā
āWas itā
Was the strange gaze I sometimes felt from Mr. Rickbelt because he doubted me?
Well, it must be natural to believe in your people more than I did when you suddenly showed up.
With that in mind, how could Mr. Ratlua have moved quickly for me?
āHa, I have to be ready. Itās gonna be a lot of trouble.ā
Mr. Seiselk sighs loudly.
Both Mr. Borolda and Mr. Ratlua are nodding.
Mr. Rickbelt seems a little lonely.
āIvy, I need to talk to you thereā
āYouāll be fine.ā\n
āNo, thatās true, too. I want you to think about who youāre going to talk to first.ā
Uh, I donāt know what Mr. Boroldaās talking about.
Who are you gonna tell about this?
⦠maybe you havenāt spoken to anyone yet?
Right, because the traitor isnāt just the green wind.
āDo you think there are other traitors?
ā⦠well, I donāt want to think about it. After Ratlua talked to the five of us for now, we didnāt give in.ā
āBecause I told you Iād get Ivy involved. Then you should hear Ivyās opinion, too.ā
Mr. Ratlua seems to disagree with my participation.
But rather than get involved, I feel like Iām already at the center.
Theyāre after us.
āThank you, Mr. Ratluaā
āHa, if Ivyās willing, I canāt help it. But be really careful.ā
āYes.ā
āLetās keep talking. Iāll tell Gilmouth everything, including about Ivy. Iāll have Gilmouth judge you to some extent. Just⦠ask the nobles to lay low.ā
āBorolda, is that good?
āIn my current state, I canāt count on my opinion.ā
āWith that said, Mr. Rickbert said that Mr. Marma was the benefactor of his life. Mr. Borolda was also helped by that nobleman, wasnāt he? He said he was grateful.ā
āOh, for me, Iām a benefactor of life⦠and Iām starting to feel more and more suspicious.ā
Mr Boroldaās complexion changes when he answers my words.
Speaking of which, there are ways to be thankful and divert suspicious attention ~.
This is my knowledge before, isnāt it?
How am I familiar with this before?
Is that what you mean, youāve lived in a world of treachery?
Thatās a scary world. \nāAre you okay, Ivy? I donāt care.ā
āWow,⦠Oh, excuse me. Itās okay.ā
I thought about it.
Letās think about me later.
Besides, I appreciate it as knowledge.
āWith that said, can I trust anyone who says Mr. Gilmouth?
āHmm?⦠Oh, Gilmouth is about the Adventurer Alliance Guildmaster, the top. Because heās gonna be okay.ā
Oh, does Gilmouth mean Guildmaster?
I thought Iād heard it somewhere⦠What, when?
⦠Well, okay.
āIāll take care of who you tellā
āOkay. I will speak to our Thunder King and the members of Seiselkās Flaming Sword. Gilmouth will probably speak to the captain and deputy captain of the vigilante. Maybe we should just stay down.ā
ā⦠maybe. You donāt have a problem with those two after Borolda, do you?
āI believe there. Iād like to believe that.ā
ā⦠would you like to ask Sola?
āOh, yeah, did you have that hand⦠do you remember the two members of Borolda?
ā⦠I donāt know, Iāll just askā
āIvy, can I join you?
ā⦠Iāll ask Solaā
Go back to the tent and wake up Sora sleeping.
Or were you still asleep?
Soraās mypace surprises me sometimes.
āSora, Mr. Ratlua wants to see you, but are you okay?
Pull-pull swinging Sola looks at the entrance to the tent.
\nāI think he thinks heās not.ā
āMm-hmm. Wait a minute.ā
I wonder what.
Is it strange, after all, that the slime recognizes its surroundings?
But⦠I think you do.
āBadā
Mr. Rickbelt shows his face in the tent.
And when I saw the slime, I looked surprised.
Are you surprised after all?
āItās okay with Sola, right?
āYes.ā
āSola, Iām Seiselk.ā
Sola is unresponsive.
Aah!
āSora, donāt go to sleep. Because itāll be over soon.ā
āKukukuk, just one more thing to be bad. Iām Rick Belt.ā
I looked at Mr. Rickbelt with chills and shook a pull.
But he seems a little grumpy.
āSounds like youāre mad at whatās been tried. Iām sorry, Ivy. Iāve never seen a slime like Sola before.ā
Mr. Rickbelt is making some noise outside when he leaves the tent.
Hi, Soraās reaction seemed interesting.
āThank you, Solaā
Rip your body against my hand and shake a pull.
When I stroke him slowly, heās bouncing around me with Piong Piong to see if heās feeling better.
