I left the tavern and headed to the place I had designated.


    When I got there, I saw someone wearing a cloak and a hood, just like me.


    ''Eric, good job,''


    Oh, well, we''ll be back anyway.


    The one who was dressed as suspiciously as I was was was Tina.


    I was wearing a hood, though it might be noticeable, as I tried not to get my face seen too much as it was a spy operation.


    If it was a tavern that big, it would be fine to wear a hood, but if it was a little closer to the center of town, it would be really suspicious.


    So when I check around there, I don''t wear a hood, I just wear a mask that covers my mouth.


    We go back to the inn where we are staying, a little wary of our surroundings.


    The inn is neither expensive nor extremely cheap.


    We heard in town when we arrived in this country that travelers often stay there, so we went there.


    ''I wonder if those two have already left?


    ''I don''t know, it''s farther away from where you two went, so it looks like we''ll be faster than you.


    As we talk about it, we come back to the innkeeper and go into our rooms.


    Maybe it''s because there are so many travelers in the inn, but we''re one of the few who have taken two rooms that can accommodate two people.


    Me and Tina are in the same room, and the other two are next to each other.


    I go back to my room and take off my cloak.


    "Huh, I hate it when I''m inside my cloak.


    I agree with you, but it''s a mission.


    I know, but...


    Tina sighed as she combed her hair appropriately.


    It was hot and humid today, even at night, so it was even harder.


    I''m a little jealous that the other two are in the center of town, so I don''t have to wear a hood.


    ''I didn''t get that much today on my end.


    It''s been about three days since we arrived in the Kingdom of Harzion.


    In the meantime, we have been going to various places to get information, but today there was no new information.


    If I had to say anything, I''d say it''s the fashions that are popular in this royal capital.


    I didn''t find anything either. I''ve heard about most of the guests.


    Tina had used her magic to listen to all of the customers in that restaurant and hear everything they were saying.


    In such a noisy tavern, she couldn''t even hear the customers next to her, but with magic, she could do it.


    All sorts of people gather in a tavern.


    And people are information.


    You can hear it in the stories of the people who gather in the bar.


    People who work in the public eye... and people who work in the background can be found in the tavern.


    And if it was such a noisy tavern, they would assume that no one was listening, even if they were having a slightly suspicious conversation.


    That''s what Tina is trying to get at with her magic.


    But we haven''t gotten much solid information yet.


    I''ve already heard that His Majesty Leonardo of Begonia will be visiting this country.


    So, if there is someone who is targeting His Majesty Leonard, it''s not surprising that they have already appeared.


    ''''I see, so we''ll just have to wait for those two.


    Can I take a shower first?


    Yeah, that''s good.


    Tina can''t stand the steaming head, and she goes to the bathroom in her room.


    After a while, she hears the sound of the shower.


    She seems to be humming too.


    Yulina and another person, a collaborator who joined us after we entered the territory of this country.


    Even if the four of us stay at the inn, if one of us is a man and three of us are women, it is a little noticeable, so I asked Yulina to dress as a man.


    Yulina-san is tall and if she makes her hair look short and wears men''s clothes, she won''t look like a woman.


    I mean, she looks really cool.


    She looks like a man - but it''s going to be a little hard to crush her breasts.


    You''ll just have to be patient there, though.


    After a while, I heard the door to the next room being opened.


    Apparently he''s back.


    And just then Tina came out of the shower too.


    ''Huh, I feel refreshed,''


    I think they''re back in town.


    Tina comes out, wiping her hair with a towel, and sits down on the bed.


    And as we wait, there''s a knock on our room door.


    ''Eric, Tina, it''s me,''


    She made eye contact with Tina and Tina nodded.


    Tina checked to make sure she wasn''t faking her voice with magic.


    And now that she knew she wasn''t faking it, she opened the door to let them in.


    ''Good evening, Urina-san.


    Yeah, good job.


    Yulina''s hair is getting shorter.


    It''s not cut, I don''t know what it is, but it looks like she''s trying to make it look shorter, though I don''t know.


    I can only see him as a man with slightly longer hair.


    And the collaborator behind Yulina-san.........


    ''You too, good job, Nina.''


    Hey. Hey.


    This is Nina Gladio, Felix''s sister.
