Nikta decided to treat herself and went to the bathhouse. Upon returning, she takes mead and meat with a side dish, sits down at the table, and thinks about something.
А, вот почему.

- "Whoever needs it" - who exactly? Let's shake down some of the locals, give them a little money, and have them report back. If "whoever needs it" happens to be on the way to the public house, we'll let you know. But generally, this is something the local lord's people should be handling, but alas. If we resolve all the other tasks, we might come back to this, but not for now.
-- Administration, and whoever else. Go ahead and shake down whoever you want, just make sure the octopuses from the river don't ambush us in the tavern in the middle of the night. And it would be best if they didn't ambush anyone else either.
Also, if needed, a meat dish with a side is available.

- Oh yes, I'm giving the sea creatures a code name: Takoyaki. For effective communication, I recommend referring to them as such from now on.

- What did we do wrong? - Zeikin grumbled discontentedly. Despite the more than twofold difference in size and age, he still felt uncomfortable with the reprimand from his superiors, and therefore hid his reluctance to maintain direct eye contact behind a gloomy expression, glaring at the corner of the room. - It was Gen who started this mess, and we got involved. Were we supposed to just watch from the bushes...?

And the last thing for today: we're going to the "Nishion" public house to check the prices. You hire a couple of prostitutes, and you get as much information as possible from them. Then, Arael provides similar services to the townspeople. They complained about the high prices, so I think our sister won't mind providing relief to desperate souls. Ask them everything you can during the process. One person should take care of security, the rest should stay nearby. Split the money in half, but charge the townspeople several times less than the brothel requires.
- This could backfire on us, - he recounted the scene that their team had witnessed in front of the military camp. - It seems the locals have gone completely wild, they'll tear each other's throats out for a pittance, like rabid dogs. We don't want to have to bury anyone, and we certainly don't want to fill out hundreds of reports for the guard.

Maybe you're jealous of Joshiku and also want to live without arms and legs?
🙄

- Or maybe it's just Morishche? - suggested Fayblup. - Sea + monster.

Gena started this whole thing, so we got involved. Are we supposed to just watch from the bushes?
-- What do you mean I started it? I was actually providing excellent assistance to the local population.

After listening to Zeiken's story, Lin pondered.
- There is a risk that some kind of prostitution mafia is involved in the area, and until we find out who is protecting them, it is really better not to get involved. Okay, let's rest today. Henry, you're in charge of contacting Nikta. Zeikin, you're in charge of the massage. Just remember that you're working on the feet of a delicate lady, so please be careful.

- What is this strange quest about opening a chest? I just swung my axe, and that was it. Or is it a stolen chest that's currently in the house of an old thief, who somehow managed to drag it home? It's very suspicious," Faibleup's last words sounded thoughtful and mysterious at the same time. "But I can take on this task if the chest's integrity isn't important. And I can also help with other tasks.

- I'll keep that in mind, but first, let's find out what happened to the missing girl. The chest isn't going anywhere, but her safety isn't guaranteed.

“I guarantee you, the monsters from the whirlpool devoured the girl, and the pig, and the key to the chest. Let’s go back there tomorrow and resolve all three of these quests at once?”

- Joe, no alcohol until at least one of the above tasks is completed.
—I have a question, Admiral… uh, Admiraless… uh… Admiral! —the old pirate raised his hook. —Regarding spirits. I have a supply here, you see, for dangerous combat situations. Don't get me wrong, it's real rum, they don't make stuff like this here. It gives you strength, so much so that no weapon can pierce you, it literally heals wounds and the soul on the go! How can I fight without it? Otherwise, my… uh… combat effectiveness will drop! And it will be bad for my crew…

After listening to Zeiken’s story, Lin fell silent.
- There is a risk that some kind of prostitution mafia is involved in the area, and until we find out who is protecting it, it is really better not to get involved. Okay, let’s rest today. Henry, you’re in charge of contacting Nikta. Zeiken, you’re in charge of the massage. Just remember that you’re working on the feet of a delicate girl, so please be careful.
As he began to eat and gradually forgot about everything that had happened that day, Henry chewed and chewed, thought and thought, and then said, in a more serious manner than his comrades were used to.
-- Hmm, you know what, Lin. I can do all of this, with the silence and the contacting, but here’s what occurred to me. You somehow think that we did something wrong – let’s assume that’s true. Nevertheless, consider this: what we did was reconnaissance, right? We obtained information about the enemy, so that’s true. You didn’t give us any prohibiting instructions not to engage in combat. You also didn’t say anything about the depth of the reconnaissance. We informed you about everything, didn’t we? We did. Did you even read our letters, or were you busy with something else? Why didn’t you coordinate our actions? We walked for several hours to that location; you could have managed us, given the increased salary of the boss, if you knew in advance that we were going to do unnecessary work.
-- So, it turns out that you were the one who failed to supervise... And if we are guilty, then you, as the leader, are even more guilty.
-- So, I will bear all the punishment that you told me, but on the condition that you punish yourself as well. Let’s say, you’ll wear only underwear for a week, and... M, what else? Well, let’s say, you’ll add “Nya, kawaii” to every sentence. The punishment is a little stricter than mine, but you understand, you’re the leader, you have to set an example for your subordinates, and that you can be with them in any difficult situation, and so on. If you agree, then I have no more questions... I won’t even order food for myself.

- I don’t understand much about this, except for beer, and I haven’t really drunk anything else, but if you say so, then it must be true. Okay, you can have it in battle.

Having started eating and gradually recovering from everything that happened during the day, Henry chewed and chewed, thought and thought, and then said, in a more serious manner than his comrades were used to.
-- Hmm, you know what, Lin. I can basically do all of this, and keep it quiet, and tie things up, but here’s what occurred to me. You somehow think that we acted incorrectly—well, let’s assume that’s true. Nevertheless, consider this: what we did was reconnaissance, right? We obtained information about the enemy, so that’s true. You didn’t give us any prohibiting instructions not to engage in combat. You also didn’t say anything about the depth of the reconnaissance. We informed you about everything, didn’t we? We did. Did you even read our letters, or were you busy with something else? Why didn’t you coordinate our actions? We walked for several hours to that location, you could have managed us, given that you’re getting a higher salary as the leader, if you knew in advance that we were going to do unnecessary work.
-- So, it turns out that you failed to supervise… And if we are to blame, then you, as the leader, are even more to blame.
-- So, I will bear all the punishment that you told me, but on the condition that you punish yourself as well. Let’s say, you walk around in your underwear all week, and… M, what else? Well, let’s say, add “Nya, kawaii” to every sentence. The punishment will be slightly stricter than mine, but you understand, you’re the leader, you have to set an example for your subordinates, and that you can be with them in any, even the most difficult situation, and so on. If you agree, then I have no more questions… I won’t even order food for myself.
The leader listens silently to the demagoguery of the unscrupulous foreigner, then puts her hand in her purse and methodically counts out a certain amount into her palm.
- You are right. As the commander of this squad, I am morally and formally responsible for the execution of the tasks assigned to us, for maintaining the reputation of the organization, and for your lives. And indeed, if something goes wrong, then I will have to answer to the higher authorities, not someone else. Therefore, as I already said, shut your mouth. As for the higher salary of the leader, here, - Lin throws ten gold coins at Henry, - you are a mercenary, envious jerk. It won’t hurt me. - Having calmed down, Lin gets up from her chair and goes down to the first floor of the establishment. - I have nothing more to say to you.

Downstairs, she looks for someone among the locals, explains the situation with Takoyaki, persistently asks them to report “to the right people” about what happened, and pays one gold coin from her own savings as payment for the service

- I don't understand much about this, except for beer, and I haven't really tried anything else, but if you say so, then it must be true. Alright, it's acceptable in battle.
—And for that, I thank you! —Joe gave the commander a slight bow.
However, glancing at his reveling and drunken comrades, his fighting spirit once again plummeted by five points.

—And yet, it doesn't feel right... —the former rogue muttered sadly to himself as he shuffled towards the sleeping quarters, where his hoarse complaints would no longer be heard. —It's not fair. It's as if they besieged us for no reason... One must respect the old and wise. One must listen to their advice. And what is this dandy doing? Taking away the only joy of an old cripple. Even our captain, may he rest in peace, wouldn't stoop to such a level. At least she spared the others: they'll just sit in ropes, chop wood, and get their legs bruised. I would have scraped her heels with a hook myself, so she'd walk on burning stones afterwards! Ah, no one cares about old Joe. In all worlds, the strong have the right to humiliate the weak. And perhaps there is no one weaker than a cripple among us. Who else can you take it out on, who else can you torment?...
Groaning and sighing, the disgruntled adventurer somehow climbed onto his bunk and prepared to drift off into a world of sober, and therefore nightmarish, dreams.

Henry looked at the money that had appeared on his plate and in his beer with a mixture of surprise and detachment.
-- Tch, -- he muttered through his teeth. In other situations, and even with Lin, he might have said something like "haha, lol," acting like a (self-proclaimed) great Internet troll, but now, his remaining good mood had vanished. After fishing the coins out of his food and piling them up on the edge of the table, he just thought that maybe inventing a singer-leader wasn't such a great idea from his subconscious's point of view.
"You know, it's really not easy for her, because her world was similar to ours," Quen began hesitantly in Henry's thoughts. -- "And she wasn't a warrior or a hero..."
"Yeah, I know. And who has it easy?" -- Henry poked at some unappetizing, fatty piece of meat with his fork. -- "Do you think I wanted all this? I wanted to sit in a room and watch movies, and play video games. Ideally, without interruptions for work. Do you think I wanted to go crazy and end up who-knows-where, doing who-knows-what? And now they're throwing it in my face, saying I'm a chatterbox, that I can't shut up for a minute, even though I literally saved a girl's life with my words today. And I don't see Lin anywhere."
"Henry..."
"And you know what's the worst? That we're going to have to fight these monsters, and maybe many others. And the last thing I want is to die there, in my own madness. I hadn't really thought about it before, but the last time was uncomfortably close, and I thought..."
"..."
"I thought, why am I even trying? Is anyone forcing me to be a hero, to be a mercenary here? It's all fake, who even needs this? I just thought, let me live an interesting life in my head... And now I'm thinking, am I completely stupid?"
"Henry, even if you don't agree with me, it's all real. And your feelings are too. I understand..."
"Quen, no need. I know you understand. And even though I don't believe in you, let's just say I appreciate it."
"And that's thanks enough..."
"Anyway, I'm probably completely stupid."
"Well, if you think you're not very smart, then I'm stupid too, for settling in your head, right?"
"Yeah, I'm a complete idiot," the American smiled.

Without delay after dinner, he slips the money back to Lin (in private, into her palm).
-- You've really done it, Commander... Okay, I'll play along with you, just this once. But let's do it properly, okay? Otherwise, the story is getting too weird, and I don't really like those kinds of plots. Okay?
-- By the way, you can put all the blame on me, say that I confessed myself, because some of your punishments are just perverse. Tying up Nikta, seriously? I think that if you find a scapegoat and then suddenly forgive everyone else, it might be even better for discipline, remember Zeikin, how he immediately shifted the blame. Besides, people really risked their lives there, it was a tough day, well, you know. Okay, I'm going.
