Chapter 141 – Glasses boy gathers information
I think it’s about time for me to get some proper information.
I returned to the mansion while being wrapped up in the smell of grilled meat.
Seviarow asked me, ‘Would you like to take a bath with me? Don’t be shy. Come on, come on. Hurry up, hurry up!’ and tried pulling me by hand.
However, I was able to return to my room safely anyways.
… Because Tyran punched her in the side with so much strength, that young lady Seviarow ended up instantly fainting.
I wondered if she was okay, but Tyran carried her away as if nothing unusual had happened, so I assumed that it was fine like that.
And well, it’s not like there was much of a point in me worrying about it.
So, like Seviarow told me to do, after returning to my room, I took off my smelly clothes and gave them to Asch, who had come to my room together with Dynawood after I called for them.
“What do you want?” Dynawood grumpily asked.
And while I handed over my clothes to Asch, I answered, “I want information.”
Then I turned to Asch, “I’m sorry for the trouble, but please wash those for me.”
“You can count on me!” Asch replied.
Asch is the maid that helped me with my disguise together with Dynawood.
Since me and Asch had already become acquaintances, Dynawood decided to assign Asch as my exclusive maid.
Though well, there is hardly anything that Asch has to do other than clean my room and do laundry.
On the rest of the time, Asch seems to just be handling normal chores of the mansion.
Oh, and his Gift is Housekeeping.
I still feel a bit bad about his circumstances, but being a maid seems to be the perfect kind of job for him.
“Information? What kind?” Dynawood asked me.
“The manager is going out tonight, right? Since I’ll be accompanying her, it will be easier on me if I have some amount of background knowledge to work with.” I replied.
I took out a new maid outfit from the chest under my bed and started putting it on.
… I’m already used to wearing skirts.
“You don’t need this. You just need to protect the manager.” Dynawood told me.
“You don’t need to tell me that. I’ll be the one who decides if it’s necessary or not.” I replied.
One of the worst things that can happen at the hunting grounds, is needing knowledge or tools, but not having them available because you thought you didn’t need them.
Being prepared has helped me many times over.
And while it may be difficult to obtain tools, information can come by more easily.
So, I want to hear as much as I can, in case I end up needing it later on.
Dynawood sighed, “… What do you want to know?”
He is clearly in a bad mood, but he is going along with me.
I really do like Dynawood, after all.
Thanks to him disliking me on a moderate level, he doesn’t step in more than necessary, but he still listens to my requests when I need him.
Essentially, he is very easy to get along with. This kind of relationship is perfect.
******
After I finished changing into the maid outfit that I got from the chest, I sat on the bed.
Meanwhile, Dynawood leaned against the entrance door and folded his arms.
He has a nice face and is quite tall, so he looks great.
He is just classy, isn’t he? His voice also reinforces his classy feeling.
He is completely different from my clumsy older sister, who got stuck in the mud while chasing a frog.
… On that day she was buried all the way up to her waist, and she couldn’t get out of it on her own, so she was missing for half a day, until someone eventually found her.
“First of all, who is the manager meeting today?” I asked.
“I’m just a servant. I’m not someone who knows about the friendships of the manager.” Dynawood replied.
I see… I suppose that makes sense.
Then let’s ask a different kind of thing.
“How many rulers are there in Krozheit?” I asked.
“Rulers…? You mean people with as much authority as the manager?” Dynawood asked back.
“Pretty much. It doesn’t matter if it’s a person who handles affairs in the city, or a very powerful person, or the richest person.
“Basically, someone important. Someone that is kinda representative of a group in the city or something like it.” I explained.
Dynawood pondered for a while before replying, “There are five.
“First, Adyll, the manager of the brothel district.
“Then the others are…
“Beckenberg, the richest man in the glory district.
“Tatsunami of the Ouriz company, who manages the craftsmen of the craftsmen district.
“Zet, the leader of a criminal group with no fixed place.
“And the leader of the Tower of Bryne. An organization said to control the underworld.”
… Oh? The Tower of Bryne?
“Nobody knows for sure what exactly the Tower of Bryne is or who its leader is, or if a leader even exists, but… Well, the manager might actually know something about it.” Dynawood told me.
Oh, I see…
Well, I don’t need to know anything more about the Tower of Bryne.
After all, I probably know the person above the leader of the Tower of Bryne. I’m here because of that person, after all.
But that’s how people view the Tower of Bryne here, huh?
They control the underworld… That’s quite amazing.
“You’re related to the Tower of Bryne, aren’t you?” Dynawood asked me.
Coming to think of it, when I first came to this mansion, old lady Adyll did bring the Tower of Bryne up right in front of Dynawood.
… Ah, so that’s why he is wary of me? Does Dynawood think that I’m someone from the underworld?
… Well, I’m actually, temporarily, currently a part of the underworld, but… Well, it’s still a misunderstanding on his part.
Still, I suppose it can’t be helped.
After all, it is a fact that I am connected to the Tower of Bryne.
“No? I mean… Tower of… Brayn?” I tried to play innocent.
“Don’t bother with trying to fool around like that. There’s no way that would work.” Dynawood told me.
I suppose he is right. There’s just no way this would work when old lady Adyll mentioned the Tower of Bryne right in front of him.
“Let’s end this topic here. Someone will have to be silenced if we talk too much.” I told him honestly.
“I knew it! You’re gonna do something to the manager or to the young lady, aren’t you!?” Dynawood exclaimed.
“I have no reason to do that.
“In the first place, I didn’t sneak inside this mansion on my own, but was instead brought here voluntarily by the young lady.
“The manager hired me specifically because she knew about it.” I replied.
After a small pause, Dynawood clicked his tongue, “… That’s right.”
Oh wow, his face is actually showing some sadness? He is being really blatant about wanting to kick me out today.
******
With the matter of the Tower of Bryne out of the way, we continued the conversation.
“I took a look around the city last night, so let me just confirm it. The glory district is the one filled with large mansions?” I asked.
“That’s the one.” Dynawood nodded.
Then, he explained some other things about the city and its rulers to me.
The glory district is the wealthy district that I saw yesterday. It is ruled by a man named Beckenberg, who is extremely powerful and rich, and his family seems to have been around for generations.
Beckenberg uses his financial strength to establish roots in all parts of the city, and he has many acquaintances in various places that let him obtain information on what is happening in Krozheit.
His organization is probably the largest one in this country.
Tatsunami of the Ouriz company rules the craftsmen district that I saw yesterday.
The Ouriz company is said to be the oldest and largest store in the country, and it is apparently the store that brought all the craftsmen of Krozheit together.
And its current president is Tatsunami.
Then, there is the leader of the criminal group, Zet.
Apparently, he leads a group of children who have no power, no place to stay, and no backers. They all gathered together just to survive.
Dynawood didn’t know the whole story behind them, but their current leader seems to be a boy named Zet, who is extremely strong and who cannot be caught by anybody.
… A criminal group of children, huh?
It reminded me of what I saw yesterday. Children sleeping outside in the slums… Seeing something like that made me really feel like those children needed someone to protect them.
Well, there is nothing I can do for them right now, so let’s leave it at that.
However, there is something that is currently worrying me.
… The possibility of one of the other trainees being under the care of one of the rulers.
******
I have an assignment that Sorichika has given me.
The most difficult and absurd task of it, is to be the last to arrive at the Tower of Bryne.
In order to accomplish this, I have to figure out where Chace, Cherry, Florentine and Lisse are.
To be the last to arrive, I have to first make sure that everybody else has already arrived at the tower.
Then, there is also the fundamental question of whether or not they would even be able to find the Tower of Bryne.
Though well, they’re all strong, so I think they’ll be fine.
However, some things can’t be done just by being strong.
Like what happened after I met that pervert yesterday.
Sometimes we may find ourselves in a situation where we’re falsely accused and detained like I was.
Maybe one of us might be in a situation where they need help.
Because I don’t think one can find the Tower of Bryne with strength alone.
Which is why I want to find where everyone is.
Though I need to figure it out without failing the task of not rendezvousing with any of my friends.
I need to know their whereabouts so that I may avoid them.
After all, it wouldn’t be strange for us to accidentally meet up with one another.
But well, tonight’s dinner might reveal one.
We might bump into each other perchance anyways.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
