第１９４２堀：ほかに情報がありそうな場所 (Part2)
Besides, it’s only natural for one’s judgment to be clouded after such a massive conflict.
Especially when the result is a definitive victory.
It wouldn't be strange for them to assume that all loose ends had been tied up.
"So, regarding that discussion—who do you think would be best for it?"
"If we’re talking about someone reasonable, it has to be Yuki-san. When it comes to hearing out that kind of situation and piecing the truth together, there’s no one else but him."
When it comes to solving these kinds of riddles or getting to the bottom of the unknown, Yuki-san is the optimal solution.
"My husband, huh... Well, that’s certainly true, but he’s been so busy lately."
"Isn't that always the case?"
Yuki-san being busy is nothing new.
To the outside world, it looks like he’s surrounded by beauties like me, living a life of leisure, but the people of Weed don't really believe that.
After all, even when he’s out and about during the day, he’s constantly occupied with work-related matters.
It’s true that Ria, Prol, and Orelia are often by his side, but in the midst of work, that kind of atmosphere never really manifests.
Anyone who claims to be jealous of Yuki-san for building a harem is just dismissed as an idiot who doesn't see the reality of the situation.
If anything, people often wonder where he even finds the time.
Even I get worried because he’s just too busy.
Well, lately, we’ve had access to that vacation spot where time flows differently, so I haven't been quite as concerned.
But setting that aside, the perpetually busy Yuki-san has also been entrusted with the overall command of the New Continent.
With the coordination with Ohe, the adjustments with Giadana in the center, the surveys of the southern wilderness, and the intelligence flowing in from the north, asking him to go out in person to question the Adventurer’s Guild might be asking a bit too much, wouldn't it?
Still, I can't help but feel that the quality of information gathered would be vastly different depending on whether Yuki-san is there or not.
"...I understand how you feel. I’ll have to confirm it with my husband anyway, so why don't we contact him now? If he says he wants to participate, then that settles it."
"That’s true. No matter what we say, Yuki-san’s own will is what matters most. If he works, we can just make sure he takes time off afterward."
"Honestly, relying on *that place* is a bit of a mixed bag, but it is helpful..."
"That’s exactly it. That town where time doesn't pass—that Japanese town—is so convenient... though you can barely bring any work in with you."
It really is meant strictly for rest.
I suppose that just goes to show how absurdly heavy our—no, Yuki-san’s—workload has become.
"You can bring in an unlimited amount of items, but everything resets the moment you leave. You can't leave anything behind, and since you can only stay for a maximum of three days, it’s hard to use for anything other than training or study."
"And work usually involves meetings and the like, so it feels wrong to go out of your way to do that on a day off."
I wouldn't dream of working on a day of rest.
"Is this about your day off?"
Oh, it seems we’ve connected with Yuki-san before I realized it.
"Yes, we were just saying that since you’ve been working too hard, we should make use of that town Luna prepared."
"Ah, well, I see. It’s not bad, but it’s a little *too* much like Japan; I feel like I’d lose my edge if I stayed there too long."
Surprisingly, Yuki-san doesn't like to use that place very often.
Well, it’s not a hard rule, and he does use it when necessary, but he avoids it because he fears he’ll become slothful.
I can understand that sentiment, so I won't force him.
"Excuse me, Yuki-san. I have a separate matter to consult with you about."
"What is it?"
"Right, you’re investigating the history of the New Continent, aren't you?"
"That’s right."
"In that regard, a proposal has come up: how about we accompany Archbishop Dodona to the Adventurer’s Guild in the central Giadana Kingdom to hear what the Guild Master has to say?"
"...I see. Come to think of it, a lot has happened. It’s been pushed to the back burner due to recent events, but the Adventurer’s Guild itself seems to have a long history, and I have been curious to hear about the incidents in the Forest of Giadana."
And so, we brought up the idea of visiting the Adventurer’s Guild.
The Adventurer’s Guild has bases all across the New Continent where people reside.
If we go there, we might find some information.
With that, the consultation reached Milly.
Milly had been busy lately with the aftermath of her unauthorized investigation into the disappearance cases, as well as the usual work of handling cover-ups.
She hasn't had much of a spotlight recently, but it feels like her time to shine has come again, specifically regarding matters within the Adventurer’s Guild.
