Chapter 78: 78
ā€œUmā€¦ā€\n
ā€œWhat’s up?
ā€œHow did you decide you were a traitor about Mr. Meera?
ā€œā€ ā€œā€ What?
Everyone looks at me strangely.
Is that it?
Could you have told me?
… No, I feel like you haven’t talked to me yet.
ā€œDidn’t we talk… apparently he still doesn’t want to admit it somewhere in his mindā€
Mr. Seiselk smiled bitterly.
Two other people besides Mr. Ratlua have the same look.
ā€œIn the meantime, that’s why you decided I was a traitor. I was concerned about Ratlua’s story, that’s 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. That’s what prompted me to doubt it. Rick Belt and Marma’s story after that made it decisive.ā€
ā€œI didn’t notice that gaze. I didn’t believe Rutlua at all. I can’t believe I doubted my people. So to prove it, I called out to the two people who broke up with the merchant,ā€ You don’t see him, do you know him? ā€œThat’s what I wanted you to say. And then he said,ā€ I think I’m lost. I’ve been asked the way. ā€œ
ā€œYou’re in a hurry for Rick’s 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€
ā€œI went shopping for dinner with him after that, but if I hadn’t suspected it, I’d hide it so cleverly that I wouldn’t have noticed it, but I was wary of this one…. I felt the same thing as the traitor I’ve been.ā€
ā€œWas 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?
ā€œHa, I have to be ready. It’s 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.
ā€œIvy, I need to talk to you thereā€
ā€œYou’ll be fine.ā€\n
ā€œNo, that’s true, too. I want you to think about who you’re going to talk to first.ā€
Uh, I don’t know what Mr. Borolda’s talking about.
Who are you gonna tell about this?
… maybe you haven’t spoken to anyone yet?
Right, because the traitor isn’t just the green wind.
ā€œDo you think there are other traitors?
ā€œā€¦ well, I don’t want to think about it. After Ratlua talked to the five of us for now, we didn’t give in.ā€
ā€œBecause I told you I’d get Ivy involved. Then you should hear Ivy’s opinion, too.ā€
Mr. Ratlua seems to disagree with my participation.
But rather than get involved, I feel like I’m already at the center.
They’re after us.
ā€œThank you, Mr. Ratluaā€
ā€œHa, if Ivy’s willing, I can’t help it. But be really careful.ā€
ā€œYes.ā€
ā€œLet’s keep talking. I’ll tell Gilmouth everything, including about Ivy. I’ll have Gilmouth judge you to some extent. Just… ask the nobles to lay low.ā€
ā€œBorolda, is that good?
ā€œIn my current state, I can’t count on my opinion.ā€
ā€œWith that said, Mr. Rickbert said that Mr. Marma was the benefactor of his life. Mr. Borolda was also helped by that nobleman, wasn’t he? He said he was grateful.ā€
ā€œOh, for me, I’m a benefactor of life… and I’m starting to feel more and more suspicious.ā€
Mr Borolda’s 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, isn’t it?
How am I familiar with this before?
Is that what you mean, you’ve lived in a world of treachery?
That’s a scary world. \nā€œAre you okay, Ivy? I don’t care.ā€
ā€œWow,… Oh, excuse me. It’s okay.ā€
I thought about it.
Let’s think about me later.
Besides, I appreciate it as knowledge.
ā€œWith that said, can I trust anyone who says Mr. Gilmouth?
ā€œHmm?… Oh, Gilmouth is about the Adventurer Alliance Guildmaster, the top. Because he’s gonna be okay.ā€
Oh, does Gilmouth mean Guildmaster?
I thought I’d heard it somewhere… What, when?
… Well, okay.
ā€œI’ll take care of who you tellā€
ā€œOkay. I will speak to our Thunder King and the members of Seiselk’s Flaming Sword. Gilmouth will probably speak to the captain and deputy captain of the vigilante. Maybe we should just stay down.ā€
ā€œā€¦ maybe. You don’t have a problem with those two after Borolda, do you?
ā€œI believe there. I’d like to believe that.ā€
ā€œā€¦ would you like to ask Sola?
ā€œOh, yeah, did you have that hand… do you remember the two members of Borolda?
ā€œā€¦ I don’t know, I’ll just askā€
ā€œIvy, can I join you?
ā€œā€¦ I’ll ask Solaā€
Go back to the tent and wake up Sora sleeping.
Or were you still asleep?
Sora’s mypace surprises me sometimes.
ā€œSora, Mr. Ratlua wants to see you, but are you okay?
Pull-pull swinging Sola looks at the entrance to the tent.
\nā€œI think he thinks he’s not.ā€
ā€œMm-hmm. Wait a minute.ā€
I wonder what.
Is it strange, after all, that the slime recognizes its surroundings?
But… I think you do.
ā€œBadā€
Mr. Rickbelt shows his face in the tent.
And when I saw the slime, I looked surprised.
Are you surprised after all?
ā€œIt’s okay with Sola, right?
ā€œYes.ā€
ā€œSola, I’m Seiselk.ā€
Sola is unresponsive.
Aah!
ā€œSora, don’t go to sleep. Because it’ll be over soon.ā€
ā€œKukukuk, just one more thing to be bad. I’m Rick Belt.ā€
I looked at Mr. Rickbelt with chills and shook a pull.
But he seems a little grumpy.
ā€œSounds like you’re mad at what’s been tried. I’m sorry, Ivy. I’ve never seen a slime like Sola before.ā€
Mr. Rickbelt is making some noise outside when he leaves the tent.
Hi, Sora’s reaction seemed interesting.
ā€œThank you, Solaā€
Rip your body against my hand and shake a pull.
When I stroke him slowly, he’s bouncing around me with Piong Piong to see if he’s feeling better.
… The grumpy Sola was adorable.
