One of the thieves who attacked Lapitilica had intentionally let him escape had been killed by someone ahead of him. The identity of someone targeting Lapitilica remains unknown, but a gentleman's interrogation of the captive thief allowed him to obtain some information.

One, the name of the Dark Alliance that received Lapitilica's assassination request is Cactus.

Two, last night's raid involved five members of Cactus Lower Clan ”Haku (Eng.)"

Three, the execution of the assassination is left to the acacia, but there is also one man from the cactus, who is on his way.

From the man I captured, I couldn't get any more information, but me and the head of the convoy decided this was still enough. Above all, it turns out that the organization is targeting Lapitilica.

First of all, the thief who came to raid last night, the dark clan "Acacia." Enge...... a tall tree in the shape of a dripping leaf, seen in botanical gardens and forest parks, with white flowers like bells.

And cactus...... by dark guild is the organization behind the conflict with the general guild. Contract various criminal requests and divide them into dark clans of lower organizations. They say that many such dark guilds exist in the country, and cactuses are also dark guilds whose names are only confirmed.

I had a bad feeling about this cactus name.

The next morning, Ashley and Lapitilica also shared the information obtained in the interrogation and were unanimous in the perception that the raid would not be over yet.

But you can't reschedule an outing. Today we go around the prestigious Chamber of Commerce in Venere, attending a tea party organised by the Lady of the Little Lords around noon and, at night, a ball at the best ballroom in Venere.

A member of the captive acacia was taken by the convoy to the guard stuffing station in Venere. The bodies of the other three assailants I killed, too. We left the disposal to the Venetian administration, and after we had breakfast, we just started going around the Venetian Chamber of Commerce.

How many deceased gather in this city, where there is a great difference between the rich and the poor outside and within, separated by the walls surrounding the pleasant city of Venere, the central city? What is pleasure in this city?

The Chamber of Commerce, based in Venere, which turns in turn, was itself a welcoming establishment. I was listening to Lapitirica and the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, thinking that it was like Las Vegas to have accommodation that would be co-located with the merchant hall, as well as a gambling hall, an indoor theatre, an establishment that I said was a ballroom, an arena that featured Warcraft vs. Adventurers, etc.

Around four chambers of commerce, I've been listening to the welcome, but I don't even talk politically about anything in particular. I don't even have a business meeting, it's simply like saying I visited to show my face. I don't know about political schemes or exchanges, but I'm sure Lapitilica will need them in the future around this Chamber.

Finishing the roundabout of the Chamber of Commerce, the next stop is a luncheon hosted by the Lady of the Small Lords.

In a welcoming conversation with the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, he was in the same room for the convenience of escorts, but the luncheon does not stand in the same venue. I'll leave that to Ashley, and I'll be waiting with the other escorts in the waiting space in the corner of the venue where the luncheon is held.

Someone approached me from behind as I followed the movements of the ladies in the venue who were bickering as I saw the map on the Kevlar mask lens.

"Hey, black-sided shaft. Long time no see."

Someone approached me called me by name, and I turned to you, and I stood there middle-aged with short brown hair with long skinny bodies. The mouth is burning loosely, and I get the impression that I don't rely on it for a long time when it goes hand in hand with slightly dripping eyes.

"- Who?

"Come on, keep breaking people's knees. That's it! Siegfried the Mercenary Alliance."

- I don't know.

"I would have taken your Mercenary Alliance membership practice test, but you really don't remember?

Practical exams...... Siegfried...... knee...... oh so to speak, you did the practical exams, in Wang Du. I hardly remember coming near the mercenary regiment headquarters of the mercenary guild since I signed up. This man, Siegfried, must have been here since exams.

"You seem to remember. The Mercenary Alliance had a tough time contacting you, but he wouldn't show his face at all, so it was tough coming to me after taking the practical exam."

"You didn't know you needed to show your face to a mercenary guild."

"You don't normally need to, but you're too much talk in the king's capital. The people of Wang Capital love new things, they're toys for the time being."

"A toy..."

"But some chambers of commerce and nobles are interested in your abilities. Apparently, you've been asked by the Duke of Varga, but there will be calls in the future, so show your face to the mercenary guild from time to time."

"Let's think about it"

This means that the shaft will disappear for the time being after this request, or you will crusade the labyrinth of the tooth wolf.

"By the way, what are you doing here? Is that someone's escort?

"No, I'm here in Venere on a separate matter. When I came to speak to the lord, the three Duchess of Barga said they were attending the luncheon, so I just stopped by to say you'd be there too."

"Separate cases?"

"Do you care? Well, I'm not talking about anything unrelated to you either, so for once, remember the clan" Male Flowers (Otokoesi) "you were with at the Marida Chamber of Commerce merchant escort?

"Oh, I remember. I forgot your name."

"Maximilian the Clanmaster, and Volkaiser and Gotthardt."

"Did they do something?

"I'm chasing you because I didn't do anything. You're under arrest for failure to comply and escaping punishment, as well as forgery of identity cards. If you find these guys, you can either tie them up or call the guards."

"- Let's remember"

That's all Siegfried said and left the waiting space. Wasn't that man an employee of the mercenary guild? Or is tracking criminals, etc. part of your job?

But more concerned than that is the "male flower”? Those threesomes were the three who tried to escape before anything else when the Marida Chamber of Commerce merchants were attacked by bandits at the West Lounge in Wangdu.

I completely forgot about it in the ensuing commotion with the Yagoche Chamber of Commerce and just thought of it as something that took some action in the guild... Nevertheless, tonight is the last time we are in Venere and tomorrow morning we have to leave for the King's Capital. I'm sure we won't see each other......

The luncheon hosted by Mrs Small Lords was also concluded without delay, leaving only the dinner party, the last schedule in Venere.

At this dinner party, many nobles visiting Venere and their sons and children had been invited, and male escorts were needed as accompaniments to the lady.

The venue is an architecture that mimics the rose flowers named Lavian Rose, the largest ballroom in Venere. I followed the dress code, changed into a black tail coat, changed the tactical kevlar mask I usually wear, and changed it to a bat man mask with an open mouth area so I could drink a drink.

"Mr. Shaft, that mask doesn't look good on a tailcoat. Is there any other mask?

However, the tailcoat and design could not be unified in the bat man mask, and Lapitilica made me waste it.

There was no reason to be ashamed of the woman who escorted her, and after searching for a mask of the same kind from Avatar Customization, she chose a Venetian mask, like the one worn by the "shaft on the black side” in the play she had seen in King's Capital.

The mask I currently wear is a Venetian mask with a black leopard design that hides the top half of my face and is embellished with silver thread in a black, shiny material.

Neither Lapitillica nor Ashley complained about this mask, and we will use this black leopard mask to match the dress code in the future.
