2 - Chivalry 骑士精神

Having brought myself over to the guild, I took Novem with me today.

今天我带着Novem来到了公会。

We had decided what requests we would take on as a party, but there was a possibility they would already have been taken up by other parties.

我们已经决定了我们作为一方将接受哪些请求，但这些请求有可能已经被其他方接受。

But that doesn9;t mean we could just bring the list back and talk about it again every time. We would see which ones we could take, and if our choices were taken, we had some backup candidates, but if those were gone as well, I9;d consult with Novem on what requests she saw as preferable.

但这并不意味着我们每次都可以把清单带回来并再次讨论。我们会看看我们可以接受哪些，如果我们的选择被接受，我们会有一些后备候选人，但如果这些也都消失了，我会与 Novem 协商她认为更可取的要求。

0;With Aria, I can9;t really bring myself to rely on her for decisions in that field.1;

（对于 Aria，我无法真正让自己在该领域做出依赖她的决定。）

I9;m not trying to speak ill of her, but at present, her hands were full with taking care of herself. She didn9;t seem to have the leisure to think of our other comrades, and deciding matters like these was more suited to Novem and Miranda.

我并不是想说她的坏话，但目前，她的手是充分照顾自己。她似乎没有闲暇去考虑我们其他的同志，决定这样的事情更适合诺维姆和米兰达。

Perhaps Clara was the runner-up?

也许克拉拉是亚军？

The place was congested as usual, but we had come early in the morning, so it was on the lesser side.

这个地方像往常一样拥挤，但我们一大早就来了，所以人流较少。

Looking around, I spotted some adventurers who9;d worked alongside us in the Labyrinth Subjugation. Among them was a certain adventurer I didn9;t really want to meet.

环顾四周，我发现了一些曾在迷宫讨伐中与我们并肩作战的冒险者。其中有一位我不太想见到的冒险者。

“Geh! It9;s the womanizer.”

“哎呀！就是那个好色之徒。”

The one looking my way with an unpleasant expression was Erhart headed for work. He didn9;t have his large sword on him today, but his tank top showed no sign of changing.

用一种不愉快的表情看着我的是埃尔哈特正在去上班。今天他身上没有带着大剑，但背心却没有任何变化的迹象。

“政府服务，是吗？”

有点惊讶，我轻轻打了个招呼。诺维姆微微鞠了一躬。

我这样想，因为我在这么早的时候就发现了另一个闷闷不乐的熟人，脸上挂着令人耳目一新的微笑。早上。 “是克雷特先生。”

『If he were doing everything according to plan, he9;d be an unpleasant one, but he isn9;t that skillful. He9;s a good person, I say. If you keep some distance when you keep him company, he9;ll become a good comrade.』

我稍微松了口气。

If something happened to him, it9;d become harder to sleep at night.

“So he9;s earnestly doing his work… he should buy a coat while he9;s at it.”

Seeing his back as he took his comrades along and left, I found myself happy at his growth, for some reason.

看着他带着战友离去的背影，不知为何，我为他的成长感到高兴。

此话一出，男人右手用力拍在了自己的胸口上。

我打招呼，发现他穿着一些粗犷的衣服。虽然我觉得很粗糙，但也许是因为他的性格，设置得相当工整。

A little amazed, I offered a light greeting. Novem gave a small bow.

This time, I was the one who felt like saying, ‘geh,9; but Novem offered him a courteous greeting.

第三个笑了。

“嘿，我是诺维姆小姐。我明白了，你每天都会带来不同的女人。”

“我确信有些事情他不会承认。就我个人而言，我发现他臀部周围的金属保护装置更引人注目。”

『It9;s these oblivious sorts that bring about the worst.』

“How cruel. You look like you9;re doing well.”

他的衣领折得整整齐齐，衣服几乎没有任何褶皱。

『正是这些不经意的事情带来了最糟糕的结果。』

他的笑容没有消失。

0;I did just tell Marianne-san I9;d look after him, after all.1;

“Of course! I9;ve become able to get 【B】evaluations without breaking a sweat! After we save up some money, and get our equipment in order, I9;ll be selected for Labyrinth subjugation, and pass you by in no time!”

“I9;m sure there are some things he won9;t concede. Personally, I find that the metal protectors around his hips stand out more.”

He usually wore quite unbalanced equipment, but I didn9;t see them this time around. He usually wore heavy metal guards around his hips and legs.

当我这么说时，埃尔哈特挺起了胸膛。

I was a little relieved.

“这么？我不知道对此该感到高兴还是悲伤。但毕竟我们的最终目标是政府服务。”

From the Jewel, the Fourth.

（我很确定外面还是很冷。）

On those words, the man firmly hit his right hand against his chest.

“Perhaps they9;re unnecessary for odd jobs? But it does look like he9;s doing just fine.”

『如果一切都按计划进行的话，他会是一个不讨人喜欢的人，但他的技术没那么高。他是一个好人，我说。如果你陪伴他的时候保持一定的距离，他会成为一个好同志。』

His smile didn9;t falter.

当我这么说时，Novem 笑了。

“Morning, Lyle-kun!”

想想看，我感觉我好像听过类似的话。

这一次，是我想说“呃”，但 Novem 礼貌地向他打了招呼。

0;I9;m pretty sure it9;s still cold out there.1;

“所以他正在认真地做他的工作......他应该在工作时买一件外套。”

His collar was properly folded and fastened, while his clothes barely had any wrinkles.

“也许对于零工来说它们是不必要的？但看起来他确实做得很好。”

来自宝石，第四个。

如果他出了什么事，晚上就会更难入睡。

“每次见到你我都会这么想，但你确实很拘谨、得体。不太像冒险家。”

“多么残忍。看来你过得不错。”

“Government service, is it?”

I gave my greetings, and noticed he was wearing some rough attire. Even if I called it rough, perhaps by his personality, it was set quite neatly.

“早上好，莱尔君！”

When I said that, Erhart stuck his chest out.

（毕竟，我确实告诉过玛丽安桑我会照顾他。）

他平时穿着的装备很不平衡，但这次我没有看到。他通常在臀部和腿部佩戴重金属防护装置。

克雷特先生的笑容看起来并没有什么恶意，但他周围的人却并非如此。羡慕和怜悯的目光刺进我的胃里。

“Hey, it9;s Novem-san. You9;re bringing a different woman every day, I see.”

When I said that, Novem smiled.

“当然！我已经可以毫不费力地得到【B】评价了！等我们攒够钱，把装备整理好之后，我就会被选去征讨迷宫，很快就超越你了！”

“That so? I9;m not sure whether to be happy or sad about that one. But our final goal is government service, after all.”

I thought, as I spotted another sweltering acquaintance with quite a refreshing smile on his face, so early in the morning. ‘Twas Creit-san.

“It9;s been a while.”

Creit-san9;s smiling face likely held no ill-intent, but those around him weren9;t so. Eyes of envy and pity pierced into my stomach.

“I think it every time I see you, but you sure are prim and proper. Not very adventurer-like.”

Come to think about it, I get the feeling I9;ve heard something like that.

The Third laughed.

“已经有一段时间了。”

“What9;s there to hide, we9;re a party that9;s gathered in order to become knights! Until we find the lord we are to serve one day, we9;re training ourselves up.”

“有什么好隐藏的，我们是为了成为骑士而聚集的队伍！在我们有一天找到我们要侍奉的主之前，我们正在训练自己。”

I thought he was a sweltering one, but he had his own goal, and was acting based on it. Though I get the feeling he9;s taking it a bit too far.

我以为他是个闷骚的人，但他有自己的目标，并以此为基础行事。尽管我感觉他有点太过分了。

There, Creit-san looked at a clock posted in the guild.

在那里，克雷特先生看着公会里张贴的时钟。

“Oh my, I must be off. Well then, fare thee well, Lyle-kun!”

“天哪，我得走了。那么，再见了，莱尔君！」

I waved my hand, as I saw him leaving with a smile.

我挥了挥手，看到他微笑着离开。

Watching Creit-san, the Seventh spoke.

看着克雷特先生，七号开口说道。

『I9;ll buy into his disposition, but why an adventurer of all things…』

『我会相信他的性格，但为什么他是个冒险家……』

The adventurer hater rarely gave constructive opinions when it came to these matters, so I let him be.

讨厌冒险家的人在这些事情上很少提出建设性的意见，所以我就随他去吧。

There, Novem called out.

在那里，Novem 喊道。

“Lyle-sama, we9;re next.”

“莱尔大人，下一个就是我们了。”

When I said that, I saw that Tanya-san seemed to have already understood that fact.

The one she asked us to accept would take up more time than the request reward was worth.

“We9;re thinking to take up a request. Is this one possible?

I spoke.

“是的，相当长的一段时间了。你今天来有什么事？”

当我指着清单上的一份文件时，谭雅小姐翻阅了她手上的文件，思考了一会儿。

If I was alone, perhaps I9;d have accepted.

“Yes, quite some time. What business have you come for today?”

“I9;m sure that9;s how it is, but it9;s going to go on like this for a while.”

当我这么说的时候，我发现谭雅小姐似乎已经明白了这个事实。

0;So today9;s receptionist it Tanya-san.1;

0;Looking at our quota, it9;s going a bit over. Just completing two would be enough. And if we take up three of them, it looks like we won9;t have any leisure this month.1;

When I said that, Tanya-san shrugged her shoulders.

“Not at all.”

With bob-cut hair, and glasses, she looked like a capable woman, and fitting with that appearance, her work was thorough and swift.

“Yes, it9;s possible, but… in that case, it would be a life saver if you could complete this one on the return trip.”

（今天的接待员是Tanya桑。）

“Very well. Would it be possible to accept that one alongside this request?”

I was a little surprised that Tanya-san was trying to push such a request onto us. But it9;s a good thing I brought Novem along.

Novem continued conversing with Tanya-san.

“是的，我们也这么认为，但是有些情况如果没人接受的话，探测起来就会很麻烦。而且如果你接手的话，我们会以相对较高的价格买下你一路上获得的魔石。”

“Pleasure. It9;s been a while.”

“Another party has already taken it. Would you like to look at an updated roster? By the way, it would be exceedingly helpful if you took up this request over here.”

“另一方已经拿走了它。您想查看更新后的名单吗？顺便说一句，如果你能在这里接受这个请求的话，那就太有帮助了。”

我把文件拿到柜台前，向我们致以问候。

“我敢打赌。我也会拒绝那个。”

塔尼娅小姐勉强笑了一声。

“很好。除了这个请求之外，可以接受那个吗？”

望向前方，柜台处的冒险者们起身离开。

当我这么说时，谭雅小姐耸了耸肩。

“Isn9;t that a tad harsh?”

Tanya-san made a conflicted expression.

如果我独自一人，也许我会接受。

Novem与我对视，我确认了内容。

“那会高多少？还有，这个要求对我们有什么好处？”

“If we take up that many, then this month will be rough. I wouldn9;t really want to lose rest over it.”

“I think around ten percent should be possible. It depends on how much you bring in, really. But about the benefit… I9;ll benefit from it. Is that no good?”

Looking in front, I saw the adventurers at the counter get up, and leave.

“我们正在考虑接受请求。这可能吗？

当 Novem 证实销售额增长时，我思考了她的话。

“这样是不是有点苛刻？”

“I9;ll bet. I9;d refuse that one as well.”

“Yes, we think so as well, but there are some circumstances that will probe troublesome if no one accepts it. And if you take it up, we will buy off the Magic Stones you earn along the way at a comparatively higher price.”

Novem locked eyes with me, and I confirmed the contents.

波波头，戴着眼镜，看起来像个干练的女人，配合这样的外表，她的工作彻底而迅速。

“如果我们占用那么多，那么这个月就会很艰难。我真的不想因此而失去休息。”

Novem 继续与 Tanya 小姐交谈。

塔尼娅小姐露出矛盾的表情。

I brought our papers up to the counter, and offered my greetings.

I thought over her words, as Novem verified the sales increase.

她要求我们接受的奖励会花费比请求奖励的价值更多的时间。

Tanya-san gave a strained laugh.

她把头稍微偏向一边，微笑着。对她来说，Novem…

When I pointed to one on the list, Tanya-san looked through the documents she had on hand, and thought a while.

“很高兴。有一阵子了。”

（看我们的名额，有点超了，完成两个就够了，如果完成三个，这个月好像就没闲了。）

“How much higher would that be? Also, how will this request benefit us?”

“我认为百分之十左右应该是可能的。这取决于你带了多少，真的。但说到好处……我会从中受益。这样不好吗？”

“一点也不。”

“是的，这是可能的，但是……在这种情况下，如果你能在回程中完成这个任务，那将是你的救命稻草。”

我说话了。

我有点惊讶 Tanya 桑试图向我们提出这样的要求。但幸好我带了 Novem。

She tilted her head a little to the side, and smiled. To her, Novem…

“我确信事情就是这样，但这种情况还会持续一段时间。”

“Eh?”

“呃？”

I looked at her expression, and found it quite serious. Tanya-san declared that the number of requests would increase… no, the amount of adventurers to accept them would drop.

我看着她的表情，发现她的表情很严肃。塔尼娅小姐宣称，请求的数量会增加……不，接受请求的冒险者数量会减少。

“It isn9;t anything certain, but a country called Zayin, and a country called Lorphys are currently in quite a tense situation. I don9;t think they9;ll make any move for now, but even so, both camps are scraping up manpower. If handled poorly, armies in the tens of thousands range will clash, you know.”

“这还不确定，但是一个叫扎银的国家和一个叫洛菲斯的国家目前的局势相当紧张。我认为他们暂时不会采取任何行动，但即便如此，两个阵营都在筹集人力。如果处理不好，数万大军就会发生冲突，你知道的。”

Novem spoke on those words.

诺维姆谈到了这些话。

“That9;s Alette-san9;s homeland, right?”

“那是艾莱特小姐的故乡吧？”

Tanya-san nodded, and began to explain.

塔尼娅小姐点点头，开始解释。

“I9;ve no idea if your party will have anything to do with it, but when the scale goes up that high, the adventurers will jump in one after another. The amount of requests on the market will increase, but more importantly, the amount of adventurers to accept them will go down. And naturally enough, the guild still has to process all of them.”

“我不知道你们的队伍是否会参与其中，但当规模达到那么高时，冒险者就会纷纷加入。市场上的请求数量会增加，但更重要的是，接受请求的冒险者数量会减少。当然，公会还要全部处理掉。”

And to process them all, the quota will likely be increased.

为了处理所有这些，配额可能会增加。

0;Well I9;ll be. So there9;ll be more requests for a while.1;

（好吧，我会的。所以一段时间会有更多的请求。）

Having heard that, Novem seemed to be lost in thought.

『不过这也是一个机会。让我们对干预采取强硬立场。不管怎样，没有情报，一切都无法开始。』

『不过，如果能打进比赛并传播他的名字也不错。那样的话，人们就更容易聚集到他身边了。而莱尔之前也从未经历过大规模的战争。我认为在这里寻求转变太艰难了。 』

第五。

When she heard that, Eva seemed a bit interested. As I thought, she must yearn for battlefields as a minstrel.

The Fifth as well.

The Sixth denied it.

Miranda addressed Shannon.

『准备工作会很麻烦。如果我们想让莱尔加入的话，我们需要一些信息。』

But the divine beast May couldn9;t comprehend it.

Among the ancestors, opinions converged in the direction of my participation in the war.

但是从宝石中传来了一些高兴的声音。

“On top of that, in the coming war between Lorphys and Zayin… We will be participating in it as well.”

“Imprudent as it may be, I9;m interested.”

“… So the amount of requests we9;re going to take increased? Why not just decline them?”

第三个发言了。

Compared to Labyrinth Subjugation, our revenue dropped a few levels.

The Third spoke.

Our income fundamentally came from rewards, and the Magic Stones and materials we found on the way.

More so, I wanted to get them in my favor, so I9;d play along, at least to an extent.

“And the fact that wasn9;t going to happen is why we9;re all here discussing it. If we9;re going to accept one with little benefit this time, then what about the next? If we just keep accepting requests, we9;ll be hard pressed from an income standpoint as well.”

0;… What about my opinion?1;

第四。

第六人否认了这一点。

『But inning and spreading his name would be good as well. In that case, it9;d become easier for people to gather around him. And Lyle has never experienced large-scale warfare before. I think it too rough to aim for a turnabout here. 』

The Fourth.

如果我们照常进行，我怀疑他们会满意。

如果可以的话，那就容易多了。公会本身似乎对没有足够的冒险者来满足要求感到相当困扰。

我们的收入主要来自于奖励，以及路上发现的魔石和材料。

But from the Jewel came some delighted voices.

“尽管可能有些不谨慎，但我很感兴趣。”

第七个。

Everyone had gathered in my room, so the space felt quite narrow.

米兰达向香农讲话。

如果你完成了其中的一些，那么奖励就相当可观了，但我还有一些话要说。

回到旅馆后，我和Novem解释了在公会听到的消息。

I can9;t think it would be anything fun to watch, but it9;s true that hero tales are preferred by a large portion of the populace.

Monica prepared tea, and we sipped it as we discussed the matter.

听到这句话，Novem 似乎陷入了沉思。

『Should we ride the winning horse, or aim for a turnabout… the latter will work more towards Lyle9;s goal of increasing his ally count.』

➐

『But it9;s a chance nonetheless. Let9;s take an assertive stance on intervention. Be that as it may, without information, nothing9;s going to start.』

If we went about things as usual, I doubt they9;d be satisfied with it.

祖先们的意见都集中在我参战的方向上。

If you completed a number of them, then the rewards would amount to something, but there was something more I had to say.

『Hmm, a war of ten thousands, huh?』

我认为这不会有什么好玩的，但确实，英雄故事受到很大一部分民众的喜爱。

“事实上这不会发生，这就是我们大家在这里讨论它的原因。如果这次我们接受一个几乎没有什么好处的，那么下一次呢？如果我们继续接受请求，从收入的角度来看，我们也会面临困难。”

大家都聚集在我的房间里，所以感觉空间很狭窄。

『嗯，万人之战吧？』

（……我的意见呢？）

The Seventh.

If that was possible, it would be so much easier. The guild itself seemed quite troubled at the fact there weren9;t enough adventurers for the requests.

香农发言。

『我们应该骑上获胜的马，还是瞄准逆转……后者将更加努力地实现莱尔增加盟友数量的目标。』

『Preparing will be a bitch. We9;ll need some information if we9;re going to have Lyle join in.』

“最重要的是，在即将到来的洛菲斯和扎因之间的战争中……我们也会参与其中。”

Once we returned to the inn, me and Novem explained the information we heard at the guild.

莫妮卡准备了茶，我们边喝边讨论这件事。

“……那么我们要接受的请求数量会增加吗？为什么不干脆拒绝他们呢？”

和《迷宫讨伐》相比，我们的收入下降了好几个档次。

听到这话，伊娃似乎有点感兴趣。正如我所想，她一定向往战场作为吟游诗人。

更重要的是，我想让他们对我有利，所以我会配合，至少在某种程度上。

Shannon spoke.

但神兽梅却无法理解。

“Killing one another of the same species? I don9;t get it. Well, if their numbers grew, perhaps an extension of a turf dispute?”

“互相残杀同一物种？我不明白。好吧，如果他们的人数增加，也许是地盘之争的延续？”

It was a turf dispute in itself.

这本身就是一场地盘之争。

Clara spoke.

克拉拉发言了。

“But our scope can9;t be considered that much a fighting force. Even if they be of good quality, mercenary brigades must stress on numbers as well. And it isn9;t certain we will make any money if we participate.”

“但我们的范围还不能算是一支战斗力量。即使素质再好，雇佣兵大队也必须讲究数量。如果我们参与的话，也不确定我们是否能赚到钱。”

We didn9;t have the knowhow to join in and make a profit as mercenaries. But there was someone who was knowledgeable in that field.

我们不具备加入雇佣兵并赚取利润的专业知识。但有一个人在该领域知识渊博。

The Fourth offered me some advice.

老四给了我一些建议。

『Lyle, say you9;ll gather information. On top of that, schedule out the requests into time intervals, and get together the necessary goods for them.』

『莱尔，说你会收集信息。除此之外，将请求安排在时间间隔内，并为他们收集必要的物品。』

I opened my mouth.

我张开了嘴。

“Our participation in it is a definite fact. But for now, we will prioritize gathering information. The result of that intel will see off our course of action, and I was thinking to gather info as we carried out the requests.”

“我们参与其中是明确的事实。但目前，我们将优先考虑收集信息。该情报的结果将决定我们的行动方针，我正在考虑在执行请求时收集信息。”

When I announced the verdict, Aria hesitated a bit.

“那一万敌人怎么办？就算你自己拿一千个人，又能剩下多少？为什么要让女仆来安息呢？”

“嗯，这有点麻烦。如果早一点的话，我可以提供很大的帮助，但是……好吧，只要有我莫妮卡在你身边，我们就有了数千人的力量。我毕竟是女仆啊！”

当大家回忆起艾蕾特小姐时，他们都不是一个可以让自己讨厌的人，所以我相信他们也有自己的想法。毫无疑问，她是一位有能力的人。

“明白。我会见他。我必须表示感谢。只是，下次你提前和我商量一下会有帮助的。”

When everyone recalled Alette-san, she wasn9;t one they could bring themselves to hate, so I9;m sure they had their share on their minds. And she was, without a doubt, a competent one.

Monica spoke.

（她说她已经监视了 Novem。所以她事先调查了调查人员。）

“阿莱特小姐让你写一封介绍信，但也许你太鲁莽了。她一定会回到洛菲斯的故乡，如果我们最终加入扎因那边，我们就会成为共同的敌人。”

我握紧了宝石，说道。

On my questions, Monica did a single spin, and let her twin tails sway. She pinched the sides of her skirt, and lifted them to give a tidy bow.

“但是，这是否意味着……如果我们参与战争，我们将与人类作战，不是吗？”

如果这会拖我的后腿，我可以警告她，但是……

『莱尔，你来付信息费怎么样？她肯定花了很多钱。那是你的责任。』

米兰达举起了手。

当 Aria 环顾四周时，Miranda 开口了。

我看着她。我有几句话想说，但既然说了接受她一切的话，我就不能真正批评她主动采取的行动。

When Aria looked around her, Miranda spoke.

“我还让他调查了周边国家。也就是说，包括Bahnseim。听完他的话再采取行动就可以了，不是吗？”

她笑着说，但她的话让我回想起了。

Miranda 对此补充了一些内容。

“That9;s just the sort of thing a maid is. And the current me is the Full Option Version! Everything I couldn9;t do before has become possible!”

她并没有亲自反对，而是似乎担心我会采取鲁莽的行动。当我点点头时，诺维姆张开了嘴。

莫妮卡发言。

“Hmm, this is a little troublesome. If it were a little sooner, I could be of major assistance, but… well, as long as you have I, Monica alongside you, we9;ll have the strength of thousands. I9;m a maid, after all!”

Rather than personally being against it, she seemed worried that I may take reckless actions. When I nodded, Novem opened her mouth.

She said that with a smile, but her words caused me to recall.

“Right. I9;ve given work to a number of information dealers here. It was around that time that I got to know quite a skilled one. I9;ll introduce you to him, Lyle.”

I looked at her. I had a few things I wanted to say, but having said something along the lines of accepting her everything, I couldn9;t really criticize her in taking action of her own accord.

“But, doesn9;t that mean… if we participate in war, we9;ll be fighting humans, won9;t we?”

I gripped the Jewel, and spoke.

我嗤之以鼻。

我含糊其辞地回答了一遍，并扫视了所有人。

Miranda tacked something onto that.

If it was going to drag my feet, I would be able to caution her, but…

I gave a vague reply, and looked over everyone.

当我这么说时，第四个。

“对我们的参与有任何反对意见……没有吗？那么我们从现在开始的行动将集中于满足我们已经接受的请求。但我们会在贝姆留下一些成员来收集信息。”

当我宣布判决时，阿丽亚犹豫了一下。

I can9;t really say she9;d emerge unharmed from a battlefield. No, people walking the battlefield for the first time like us would probably make for good targets.

The only change I ever saw was how her convenient cleaning and cooking tools had multiplied.

“Then what will you do with ten thousand enemies? Even if you take on a thousand yourself, just how many would that leave? And why is it that a maid is supposed to put us at rest?”

“对。我在这里给一些信息经销商做过工作。就在那时，我认识了一位相当熟练的人。我会把你介绍给他，莱尔。”

回答我的问题时，莫妮卡旋转了一圈，并让她的双尾巴摇摆起来。她捏住裙子的两侧，将它们抬起来，整齐地鞠了一躬。

（而且，这绝对是为了我好。）

“If we9;re going to have to experience it eventually, getting a feel for the atmosphere at least once would be preferable. But I don9;t want to die a dog9;s death. If I think it too reckless, I will oppose you.”

『Lyle, how about you foot the information bill? She9;s sure to have spent quite a sum on it. That one9;s your responsibility.』

“I also had him look into the surrounding countries. Including Bahnseim, that is. It9;s fine if we take action after listening to what he has to say, isn9;t it?”

“Any objections to our participation… none? Then our actions from here on will center on fulfilling the requests we9;ve accepted. But we9;ll leave some members in Beim to collect information.”

“如果我们最终必须体验它，那么至少感受一下气氛一次会更好。但我不想像狗一样死去。如果我觉得太过鲁莽，我就会反对你。”

“女仆就是这样的人。而现在的我是完整选项版本！以前做不到的事情都变成了可能！”

I scoffed.

“米兰达，有什么想法吗？”

There, Miranda raised her hand.

我真的不能说她会毫发无伤地从战场上出来。不，像我们这样第一次踏上战场的人可能会成为很好的目标。

“Alette-san asked that you write a letter of introduction, but perhaps you were too rash. She is sure to return to her homeland of Lorphys, and if we end up joining Zayin9;s side, we will become mutual enemies.”

“Understood. I9;ll meet him. And I must give my thanks. It9;s just, next time, it9;ll help if you consult with me beforehand.”

我看到的唯一变化是她方便的清洁和烹饪工具成倍增加。

With nine, we could still complete requests while leaving a number behind.

“Any ideas, Miranda?”

0;What9;s more, this is definitely working towards my sake.1;

When I said that, the Fourth.

0;She said she had Novem under surveillance. So she9;s investigated investigators beforehand.1;

有了九个，我们仍然可以完成请求，同时留下一个数字。

“And tell me how much it cost. I9;ll pay it.”

“告诉我花了多少钱。我来付钱。”

Miranda slid the hair in front of her ear back.

米兰达将耳前的头发向后梳。

“Oh, then perhaps I should say a hundred gold or two.”

“哦，那么也许我应该说一百两金币。”

She said that in a joking tone.

她用开玩笑的语气这么说。

“Fine. If it cost that much, then I9;ll pay it.”

“好吧。既然这么贵，那我就付钱。”

Her expression turned serious.

她的表情变得严肃起来。

“I lied. But I9;d like you to be firmer with these sort of dealings. I9;m happy you trust me, but being too loose about it is no good.”

“我撒谎了。但我希望你在处理此类交易时更加坚定。我很高兴你信任我，但过于宽松也不好。”

Thinking her quite integrous, I nodded, and confirm the sum Miranda had really paid.

我觉得她很正直，就点点头，确认了米兰达确实支付的金额。

The sixth spoke.

第六位发言。

『As expected of Miranda! With this, we9;ve saved the trouble of searching out an information dealer.』

『不愧是米兰达！有了这个，我们就省去了寻找信息经销商的麻烦。』

After attaining everyone9;s approval, I stood to put it to action.

There, the Fifth.

至少我是这么想的。

『Are you an idiot? There may be a better one out there. And we9;ll need much, much more information from here on. You think one or two will be enough?』

I doubt it will be that convenient for me, but if I wanted to defeat Celes, then I9;d have to use whatever I could.

就是第五个。

0;I can9;t keep being so easy-going.1;

『你是白痴吗？那里可能有更好的。从现在开始我们将需要更多、更多的信息。你觉得一两个就够了吗？』

得到大家的认可后，我就开始付诸行动。

0;Now then, I wonder what it9;ll come down to.1;

Or so I thought.

（我不能再这么随和了。）

我怀疑这对我来说是否会那么方便，但如果我想打败塞莱斯，那么我就必须使用我能用的一切。

（现在，我想知道结果会怎样。）
