Last time, we caught the dark guild in action as they illegally smuggle the weapon made from the empire to this country. During our visit to the giant new settlement, we found a pile of weapon, also made from empire, left as it is. Not even properly hidden. Why is that?

I'm sure there are connections between these two cases. For what purposes do the dark guild wanted to smuggle the weapon into Amleth? Is it to strengthen themselves? Maybe. But if it is to strengthen themselves, against whom? Plus, I'm sure even if it's meant to strengthen themselves, isn't it just safer for them to but it at Empire rather than bringing it here

So, are they going to sell it? If they really want to sell it, who will be the buyer? Why do the buyer feel the need to have weapons made from empire? What are they targeting? 

Explosive rapid firing bow. Sword that's imbued with mass produced curses. Mini cannon, heavy as it is, is mobile enough to be used by someone strong. The list goes on. 

Of course, I asked Nar and Sas regarding it, but, as expected, they're keeping silent. I'm sure my guesses should hit the mark somewhere, but, without a lead, I just can't think of a solid reason

I know that I shouldn't stick my head where I don't belong. In fact, I'm sure they got this. I'm really sure. They're elite and they know what they're doing, me suddenly barging in will just make thing worse. That's what I thought it is, but

"This is harder than I thought" [Diana]

"Meow" [Fie]

"You too Fie? Well... They're the dark guild, not adventure, finance or tamer guild that can operate publicly" [Diana]

I can't help but wanted to investigate this matter by my own as well. Curiosity? One of the biggest reason, but, the biggest reason of them all is simply because I wanted to protect everyone as well. Maybe back then it is because of curiosity, but now, the number of thing I want to protect is increasing, so, I wanted to do my best to prevent any disaster from happening 

Should I ask the guild for help? They're like sworn enemies. One works to help civilians, while the other does the exact opposite. I'm sure they know more about the Dark Guild than anyone else. That's definitely a great choice, but I'm sure they wouldn't just reveal it. Besides, if I ask them, they'll probably tell my family, and that's the last thing I want to happen.

If it's not the adventuring guild, should I ask the taming guild? Maybe? Because I'm sure the Dark Guild was also involved in smuggling exotic monsters and animals. I'm sure they'd know something about it. The Finance Guild? Maybe, but I don't have any connections there.

If I can't get help from the guilds, maybe from someone? Aeron? Forget him. He will just tell me that I am a brat and an irresponsible child. Cardinal Davis? Nope. I don't want to be nagged by him until I go deaf. Miss Eisheth. I think she's one of the best options out there. I'm sure she'd be happy to help me, but I'm also sure she'd tell my family about it.

"Meow?" [Fie]

"Try asking Master Merlin? Hmm... I see... Maybe I will try to ask her." [Diana]

I'm sure Master Merlin knows a thing or two as well. She usually acts like she doesn't care, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know something. I should go to her house. If she's not at her house, I'll teleport to her hut.

I go to her house. 

When I knocked on her door, little Diana answered in her usual excited voice. I'm sure she thinks I'm just here to play or just to finish the sweet cookies and tea she left. She's not wrong. She's the one serving it, and it would be a rude gesture for a noble, no, for anyone, to refuse food when it's served to them. I am just acting as common courtesy dictates.

Her house is as messy as ever. She can always order her marionnetes to clean it for her, but she's too lazy to do it. At least she doesn't pile up garbage or leave unfinished food on her tables. Her clothes, however, from left in the chair to her bed. If I do that, Head Maid Mahsuri will nag me to no end

"Here you go, banana cake with a chocolate drink" [Merlin].

"Thank you!" [Diana]

"So, have you tried to see the place where they used to gather? You know, the place you, Dana, Valerie and Elizabeth raided" [Merlin]

"I'm sure Fie must have told you earlier, right. I should have guessed" [Diana].

I'm not even surprised. Fie, you traitor! But...

"That's a good idea. I can go there and investigate!" [Diana]

"Alone?" [Merlin]

"Please!" [Diana]

"Hmm... You know what, I'll entertain you" [Merlin]

"Really!?" [Diana]

"Yes. You will face the Devil King one day, so consider this your training" [Merlin].

"Yay! I love you Master Merlin! You're the best Master in the whole wide world!" [Diana]

"That I am. Finish your banana cake and drink first and let's go" [Merlin]

"Right!" [Diana]
