The bar I’d come to was called the Black Lobby, the social watering hole of the underground. Information was shared based on equivalent exchange. Nothing was free here, and if you wanted information you’d have to bring something of equal value to the table.

Since I didn’t have anything to offer, I had to settle for eavesdropping.

All right, the spirits don’t seem like they’re interested in anyone around here, so I’m assuming there aren’t any mages in this bar at the moment. If there was a very skilled mage in here, there would be the risk of them noticing me using magic to amplify sounds. Once I’d made sure the coast was clear, I used a spell to listen in on the hushed conversations going on around me.

“That sword was definitely...”

“A second...Royal Knight, huh? But...why?...in this town...why...”

They were probably talking about Sepith. He’d really made a scene, so I guess it’s only natural that people would gossip. He showed off his cane sword so ostentatiously, of course any onlookers would have realized.

“Lately...weird people...come to town. Those guys...this country...”

“...hidden so well...soldiers haven’t noticed, but...can’t deceive...probably...from Cirquista...”

They must be referring to the bandit group. So they are in this town after all. And it seemed that Sepith’s presence had tipped off Borguie and his cohorts. Tch, like as not, they’re going to be even more careful because of this.

I sipped my drink from time to time to keep from looking suspicious. I used that as cover to cast my eyes over the interior of the shop, scrutinizing the shadows. From what I could hear, no one had any concrete information on the whereabouts of the bandits.

“That aside, y’all...apparently, they’re making solid progress on the Guardian Selection for the next queen. I hear that they’ve decided on one of the final participants.”

“...I’ve heard rumors...commoner swordsman...”

“You mean that rumor...adventurer...saved...swordsman who inspired that play...princess has taken a huge liking to...the top contender for Guardian Knight, their name was—”

A commoner swordsman saved royalty? That was an intriguing topic. Though I wasn’t proud of it, I was way behind on rumors circulating in the public because I holed up in Kirsch for the past year. But I was here to gather intel about the bandits and not anything else, so I stopped listening further.

If the bandits were truly hiding out in Yoram like the rumors suggested, I’d really have to stick by Alicia, for her own good. With the Great Spirit of Wind meowing and sleeping all day while keeping an eye out from the inn’s gardens, I’m the only one who can deal with an emergency.
