Rattler-san looked at me and smiled bitterly.

He now looked worried.

But this was Rattler-san’s fault.

“I believe you! I leave it to you, please.”

I had to ask because I didn’t know what they sold at the restaurant.

Guild Master-san, Leader-san, good luck.

“Okay, let’s go to a high-class restaurant that I want to try in this town [a restaurant that doesn’t make me nervous, please]…eh~”

There’s no way I could taste the food in a high-end restaurant because I’m nervous.

Normal is best.

“Rattler-san, I’d like to go to a restaurant where I can eat casually, please.”

I reminded him for the time being.

He looked a little disappointed at my words.

I’m glad I told him.

“It can’t be helped, I’m very disappointed, but I’ll follow what Ivy wants.”

He put a lot of effort into the “very” part, but I’m not going to give in on this one.

I wasn’t going to give in on this one, because it was going to be kind of a big deal if I left it to him.

Still, I’m kind of looking forward to it.

“Rattler-san, are you here only to say that?”

“Well, I’m a little tired, so I guess I’m just slacking off.”

Did he really slack off again? 

Rattler-san is such a free spirited person, isn’t he?

But doesn’t they get angry with him? 

…He was not the kind of person who would make a mistake like that, right.

He won’t, right?

“Oh, Seizerk will explain it to you later.”

“Yes?”

“I heard that Count Faltoria has admitted his guilt.”

“I see.”

“Yeah, the evidence we gathered was enough. But the evidence from his hideout seems to be the decisive factor.”

A hideout.

That’s what I expected from an aristocrat.

But still, he finally admitted it.

I was worried because I had heard that even when they confronted him with the evidence, he would make a fuss about a conspiracy and refuse to confess to the crime.

He was supposed to be a good guy, but it was like his true nature came out at the last minute.

That’s scary!

“Well, now it’s finally over.”

“He confessed…”

Did something happen when he confessed?

That way of speaking, did he say something weird?

“He’s either just trying to reason out, or he’s being desperate. He’s just talking, talking, talking. He even told all these stories about the aristocracy.”

“…that’s, how do you say it, it’s weird?”

“That seems to have caused quite a stir in the capital. One of the things he told us was about a secret organization that has been causing problems in capital. The Knights are investigating it now.”

Does every town have an underworld? 

That made me think that I need to be more careful on my journey.

I guess I need to seriously think more about traveling alone.

“I received both a thank you and a complaint from the Guild Master in the capital.”

“A thank you and a complaint?”

“Yes. A thank-you for finally giving insight into the organization we’ve been chasing for a long time. And a complaint that he’s too busy working because of the unexpected information.”

“…it’s just like here, right?” 

“Hmm? I see, it’s just like here a while ago. It’s a tough situation, especially since it’s in the capital. Poor guy.”

I hope you could at least make an expression of pity.

Otherwise, you would look like a black-hearted person.

“Rattler-san, as expected, when you say it with a smile like that…”

“Oh, no. My true nature…”

He makes a gesture of hiding his face with his hands, but he seemed to be quite happy.

Rattler-san seemed to be a refreshingly black-hearted person.

I’m sure of it.

He might actually be a good match for Cival-san.
