Day 491-500/Day 492

Day 492 / 22nd day
Based on the information I had carefully gathered from the leader of the group of pursuers who were on their way to the base (to be precise, he was the second-in-command underneath the tiger man who had stayed behind at the enemy base, since he was the most important), the ant boy and I were on our way to a certain city. The name of the city is "Free Trade City.
　The name of the city is the "Free Trade City of Sectriad".
　This is a city for merchants run by the 【Merchant Union】, a coalition of seven leading merchant families, the 【Seven Great Merchant Families】, and it is a place where various goods are gathered.
　It is said that if you have enough money, you can get anything here, and in fact, you can get everything from daily necessities to illegal goods.
　In such a place, there is no reason why there wouldn't be an underground organization that does illegal things. The "La Depardos" organization, which has a close relationship with the boy ants, also seems to have its headquarters here.
　When I was exploring the biological structure of beasts, a kind beast told me about the "La Depardos" organization in great detail.
　He gave us information on the main members of the organization, the location of their base, the location of their hidden assets, and the location of their opponents. It was a huge amount of information, including the location of hidden assets and information on rival organizations.
　However, we couldn't just believe all the information he gave us, which might be a mixture of lies, so we needed to get more detailed information by raiding some of the bases where the members gathered.
　We need to gather information, but for the time being, I think I'll go to the "Free Trade City of Securiad" and then make a rough plan for the rest of the trip.
　Fortunately, with the Golemkrat, we could get there as early as late this evening or tomorrow.
　So, with the antsy boy disguised in the supplies we had acquired, we made our way through the sea of trees.
　I heard that the meat of a well-trained tiger man was surprisingly delicious.
　The taste of the meat was even more pronounced when it was accompanied by gubiri, a liquor characterized by a thick spirit and strong smell.

“二十二日目”　／　“四■九■二■目”
　拠点へと向かっていた追手一行のリーダー格――正確には敵拠点に残っていた虎人が一番偉いので、その下に位置する副長だったらしい――から丁寧に聞き出した情報を元に、俺と蟻人少年はとある都市へと向かっていた。
　都市の名前は≪自由商都セクトリアード≫という。
　ここは七つの有力な商家――【七大商家】――による【商会連合】によって運営される商人の為の都市であり、様々な物資が集結する場所である。
　ここでは金さえあれば何でも揃うとすら言われるらしく、実際に日用雑貨から非合法品まで入手できるという。
　そんな場所に、非合法的な事をやる裏組織といったモノが存在しない訳が無い。
　蟻人少年と因縁深い裏組織≪イア・デパルドス≫もここに本拠地が存在するようだ。
　獣人の生体構造の探求をしていると、親切な獣人が裏組織≪イア・デパルドス≫について懇切丁寧に教えてくれたのである。
　主な構成員の情報から拠点の場所。隠し財産の位置や敵対する裏組織の情報など、実に大量の情報だ。
　ただ苦し紛れにいった嘘が混ざっているかもしれない情報を全て信じる訳にもいかないので、構成員が集まる拠点を幾つか襲撃して更に詳細な情報を得る必要がある。
　情報収集は必須だが、とりあえず≪自由商都セクトリアード≫に行ってからその後の大まかな予定を組もうと思う。
　幸いゴーレムクラートがあれば早くて今日の夜遅くか、明日には着く距離だった。
　なので、取り敢えず得た物資で変装させた蟻人少年と共に俺達は樹海の中を進んで行った。
　それにしても鍛えられた虎人の肉は、意外と美味しいらしい。
　グビリ、と濃い酒精と強い匂いが特徴的な酒と一緒に飲むとその美味さはより一層引き立った。
