 In the now quiet dining hall of the “Horned Ox Inn.”

 *Huff*

 ”Phew.”

 After driving out the “Gem Snake” group, I extinguished the flames of the Yamata no Orochi sprouting from my left hand and took a breath. Then, a group of people started coming out from the kitchen.

 Many of them were either n*ked or nearly so, but among them, a middle-aged man cautiously approached me.

 He seemed to be of average build, looking timid and gentle.

 ”Um, uh. Thank you very much.”

 According to his story, which started with a thank you… he seemed to be the manager here, and his daughter was a worker who wore a red scarf and was not ‘selling herself’.

 When the “Gem Snake” group forcibly took over the whole place, his daughter began to be targeted, so he tried to stop it. It seems Ms. Tirica went to complain to that man to prevent anyone from getting hurt.

 She seemed to want to avoid injuries.

 She isn’t that much older, but she seems to be in a position to lead the women.

 After hearing the whole story, the manager offered me a room.

 ”We will prepare meals and drinks… and while I can’t say everyone, there will be women too.”

 ”Oh, then I’ll go!”

 At that statement, Ms. Tirica raised her hand cheerfully, but

 ”Then I’ll go too!”

 ”Me too!”

 ”If it’s okay, I’ll go as well…”

 Several others followed suit, raising their hands.

 Some even showed off parts they were hiding with their hands, creating a rather pleasant scene, but… I declined their offer.

 ’No, they might come after me for revenge.’

 If I were to talk about it… right now, I just look like a 30-something Japanese man in Magic Armor, but even if I can convey the feel of my skin and clothes, people will notice the difference from the actual clothes I’m wearing.

 Even if I only focus on meals and lodging, it seems like I’ll have a lot of contact with women in this situation.

 If that happens, they’ll probably start to worry about my true identity, and dodging that kind of pursuit would be a hassle, so I plan to leave.

 There’s a chance that “Gem Snake” might ignore my words and come here, but I intend to come back as “Koji,” so it’s not a problem.

 Well… as long as my words are conveyed correctly, they can’t afford to fail in the plan to neutralize Ferris or turn their into a puppet, so I think I’ll avoid any unnecessary weakening of their forces.

 Since I didn’t kill any of those guys earlier, it’ll be hard for them to use revenge as an excuse.

 So, I declined the offer from the managers and told them I was leaving the “Horned Ox Inn,” when Ms. Tirica suddenly leaned closer.

 ”Um, can I ask your name?”

 ’Huh? Uh, well…’

 I hadn’t thought about what name to use in this form.

 I’ve already used my name from my previous life, and of course, I can’t use my real name from this world.

 Regardless of my appearance, it shouldn’t be a problem if my name is similar to someone else’s.

 Hmm…

 As I was thinking of a suitable name, Ms. Tirica seemed to sense something from my expression.

 ”Oh, I see. You can’t tell me because you don’t want the ‘Gem Snake’ guys to know.”

 ’Ah…’

 Now that she mentioned it, that’s true.

 I don’t know what methods they might use to investigate me, and as a result, some people might end up confessing.

 But if that’s the case… I might as well use a random name and confuse my search with a wrong lead based on that name.

 Since I’m showing my face, no one else should mistake me for someone else.

 Thinking that, I decided to introduce myself.

 ’No. I’ll tell you my name, so if you’re asked, feel free to share it.’

 ”Eh, is that okay?”

 ’Yeah. They might come here and ask the locals roughly. I’ve said it’s my first time here, so if they at least get my name, they might feel satisfied and back off.’

 ”…”

 I said I was giving my name for the locals’ sake, but maybe because of that, Ms. Tirica’s eyes are filled with intensity.

 Actually… it’s not just Ms. Tirica.

 Since I made up that reason, it feels awkward.

 So, I quickly introduced myself and decided to leave.

 ’My name is Fraud. If asked, just say that.’

 I chose this name because it happens to mean something like a scam, which fits me just fine.

 When I said that, Ms. Tirica murmured.

 ”Sir Fraud…”

 Sir? Well, whatever.

 I probably won’t have many chances to meet her again, so I’ll just ignore it.

* * *

 So, with the women’s intense gazes following me, I left the “Horned Ox Inn” and headed to the “Silver Orchid Inn.”

 I needed to inform the “Silver Orchid” office about the matter of “Gem Snake” manipulating Ferris.

 It’s probably better not to approach that office carelessly since it’s just one man there.

 Well, it seems that the “Gem Snake” might have left some surveillance behind… But my magic threads that looked like they were released have all disappeared outside their range, so I don’t need to worry about that.

 Still, considering that people might see me leaving the “Horned Ox Inn,” I slipped into an alley, turned invisible, and floated towards the “Silver Orchid Inn.”

* * *

 When I arrived at the “Silver Orchid Inn” while still invisible… it looked safe, and the shop was operating normally.

 A group of customers went inside, and I was about to enter too, but then a concern popped into my head.

 It was about how to convey the information about Ferris being controlled, and whether a stranger would smoothly pass that message to “Silver Orchid.”

 They probably can’t ignore the content, but there’s a chance it could be seen as false information meant to confuse “Silver Orchid,” so they might not take it seriously.

 In that case, it would be better to tell Nina as “Mose,” someone they know a bit.

 If she’s back, she might have used the transport team from the “Golden Lion” to return.

 After that… I planned to share what I needed to and then leave, but it would seem strange to tell the staff something and leave right away, right?

 If “Silver Orchid” shows unusual behavior based on the information I provided, then “Mose,” who entered and left right after, would be suspicious.

 The people I turned away at the “Horned Ox Inn” would report seeing me there, and it’s better to assume they’ll also report that I was asking about Ferris being controlled.

 Well, I might not report that incident to avoid punishment for slipping up…

 Anyway, if that incident gets reported, it would be suspected that the information I heard as “me at the Horned Ox Inn” was passed on by “Mose” to “Silver Orchid,” suggesting a connection between those 2.

 If that happens, “Gem Snake” will probably start keeping an eye on “Mose,” and it might cause trouble for the people involved with “Mose.”

 Hmm… Well, dinner isn’t ready yet, so I guess I can eat here.

 The Magic Armor covers my face to disguise me, but when I put food in my mouth, it looks like it disappears, so I need to coat my mouth with the Magic Armor too.

 I don’t know how much of my mouth is visible, and I can’t tell how closely the staff will be watching my movements.

 So, I step into a nearby alley and transform into “Mose,” changing my face under the Magic Armor to that of a foreign actor I used in my previous life, and then I enter the “Silver Orchid Inn.”

 As I enter the busy restaurant and look for a free staff member, a female server comes over, weaving through the tables.

 This place isn’t like a family restaurant where they guide you to your seat, but it seems like the staff thinks I’m having some trouble standing at the entrance.

 ”Welcome! Are you here for a meal? We don’t have any rooms available.”

 ’Ah, just for a meal. I’m alone…’

 I reply in a voice altered by a voice changer to the female server, who looks to be around my age, and she tilts her head slightly.

 ”…Huh?”

 ’Is something wrong?’

 ”Oh, no. If you’re alone, could you please use that table over there? It’s crowded.”

 ’Okay.’

 The waiter acted a bit strange, but… she quickly guided me to a counter seat and said, “Please catch an available staff member when you decide on your order,” while pointing at the menu on the wall before leaving.

 For now, I decided what to order and while waiting for it to arrive, I looked around the store… and there was Nina.

 Ferris and the others were supposed to return from the dungeon in 2 days, but it seemed she (Nina) had managed to come back early by hitching a ride with the “Golden Lion” transport team.

 Well, she probably had some reports to make right away.

 But… working here on the day she returned, huh.

 Plus, she must be busy reporting to the “Silver Orchid” office, so I thought it must be tough for her… I chose the “Today’s Special” that was added next to the menu and caught a nearby staff member to place my order.

 As I waited for my order to arrive, I watched Nina… she was bustling around the store like the other staff, carrying dishes from empty tables to the back.

 She might head straight to the “Silver Orchid” office after hearing my story, but it would get dark soon, and that could be dangerous.

 If I went with her to the “Silver Orchid” office, it would be obvious that I had shared information, so I thought about becoming invisible and secretly following her, deciding to speak to her after the meal.

* * *

 ’Gulp, gulp, gulp… phew’

 After finishing my meal, I lowered the half-open faceplate of my helmet and tried to look for Nina again when…

 ”Have you finished your meal?”

 I heard a voice from behind.

 ’There you are.’

 ”Yes. It seems you were being considerate to the girl who guided you.”

 ’Considerate… what do you mean?’

 When I asked, Nina’s face turned slightly red, and she leaned in closer to whisper to me.

 ”Um… it seems she know about what happened in the empty room before.”

 ’Ah… so it was that time.’

 It was when Nina took me to an empty room and sucked me so I wouldn’t lay a hand on Iris.

 I did what I had to do and then turned down her request, leaving Nina behind in the room.

 If people only hear that part, they might think I’m a terrible guy, but it was Nina who came on to me after I said I wasn’t interested.

 Thinking back on that moment, I continued speaking.

 ’Did people see you leaving the room?’

 ”No, it seems they saw me entering instead…”

 ’Entering? So that means… did they hear what you were talking about?’

 ”No. They only heard a little bit of my voice. But when I came out of the room, it was clear what I had been doing from my face.”

 She looked young, but it seems that even if the staff at this inn aren’t selling their bodies, there are customers who bring people in from outside. They seem to be quite used to the atmosphere during and after such activities.

 ’So I was being considerate, huh?’

 As I accepted that, Nina looked a bit apologetic.

 ”Yes. But as you can see, it’s quite crowded, and the person I would be with is a bit… There are no empty rooms, so if you’re okay with being seen or heard by the girl in the same room, you can use mine.”

 ’No, why would it come to that?’

 I understand how the conversation led here, but I’m not that desperate to go after a woman who isn’t selling herself.

 ”Isn’t that right? The girl in the same room is cute, and if we were doing something, she might join in too.”

 ’…No. I just came to tell you something.’

 While I’m not entirely indifferent to the fact that the girl in the same room is there, I’ll go ahead and take care of my original business.

 ”It doesn’t seem like a love confession. Is it a confidential matter?”

 My response makes Nina look slightly disappointed, but she realizes it’s an important conversation and returns to a serious expression.

 ’Yes. I’d like to keep it confidential that it came from me, and I’d like you to pass this information to ‘Silver Orchid.”

 ”Is it… something urgent?”

 ”I think it would be better to do it sooner rather than later, but it’s already dark, so I think tomorrow morning would be fine.”

 With that, I put my arm around Nina’s waist and pull her close.

 ’There.’

 *Push*

 ”Ahh~♪ I can’t do this~♪”

 As I play the role of a man hitting on a waitress, Nina quickly understands my intention and, despite her words, moves closer and leans her ear towards me.

 I whisper into her ear,

 ’It seems ‘Gem Snake’ has found a way to make Ferris their pawn.’

 ”Huh!?”

 Startled by the news, I judge that she has understood what needs to be done and loosen my grip on her waist… but Nina grabs my hand and presses it against her chest.

 Since I removed my gauntlets during the meal, the soft sensation is directly transmitted.

 *Squish…*

 ’Hey…’

 ”Aah… What’s the detailed information about that method?”

 Nina maintains the close contact herself and speaks seductively, but quickly changes the subject to ask me that question.

 I answer her in a low voice.

 ’No. I just overheard ‘Gem Snake’ talking about it. I think their recent radical actions might be because of that.’

 ”I see… Then I’ll have the girl heading to the ‘Silver Orchid’ office deliver the message during tomorrow’s regular report. Since you’ve been in contact with the other side for a while, if anyone is watching, they might realize that you’re the source of the information if I go to report it.”

 ’Yeah, probably.’

 I had intended to quickly convey the message and leave, but I ended up engaging in a longer conversation, keeping Nina there for quite some time.

 Then, as if it were an afterthought, Nina says,

 ”In that case, why don’t you stay in my room? The longer you stay here, the less likely it will be suspected that you came to deliver the information.”

 *Squish, squish, squish…*

 Squeezing and kneading her chest with my hand, Nina seems to be flirting with me… but I’m concerned that if I stay, she might try to seduce me at night, and if that happens, it would be unnatural and suspicious for me to not remove my armor.

 I could just refuse, but there’s no clear reason why I should decline.

 So… I turned down her offer.

 ’Sorry, but I want to keep my face hidden as much as possible.’

 ”Oh, well then, could I have your contact information? If something happens to Ms. Iris and the others, it would be better to contact you directly, right?”

 ’Yeah… just contact ‘Hooters’. I’m supposed to be employed there.’

 If they receive a message there, it will reach me through Frederica at the Adventurer’s Guild or Ms. Monoka at the orphanage.

 Considering this, I said as much to Nina, who then further pressed her body against mine and tightened her grip on my hand.

 *Squish, squish*

 I feel her softness even more intensely.

 ”Oh, is that so? That makes me want to ‘tempt you’ even more… but I’ll give up for today. I don’t want to be too persistent and make you stiffen up… I’d rather be the only one getting stiff here.”

 ”Hooters” is a fairly large merchant guild, and being affiliated with them seems to be quite highly regarded.

 Perhaps that’s why Nina, despite saying she’ll give up, grabs my crotch.

 Even if I’m not hungry for it, receiving such intense stimulation and being tempted by a beautiful woman like this might make me inclined to accept.

 So… I take Nina’s breasts into my own hands and, while declining her invitation this time, respond, “Next time, then.”

 Squeezing my crotch, Nina finally releases her body from mine.

 As I leave the “Silver Orchid Inn” after conveying the necessary information, I bid farewell to her, who give me a mysterious gaze.
