Although it is troublesome to enter for the first time, as long as you've been here once, you can enter with just a flicker, so it doesn't matter.

And once you're inside, no one will bother you if you want to disguise your identity or anything else, because once inside, everyone is taken to a small room to change. Essentially, it's just finding a mask to wear, after all, this place is all about absolute freedom.

But you can also choose not to do so, as it's a matter of personal freedom.

Though our group has already disguised ourselves, we still chose to wear masks in order to be less conspicuous.

"Brother, your mask looks really strange."

Oyado, wearing a gold-edged smiling face mask, said to me. With her gorgeous attire and that mask, she really looked like a doll.

"Indeed, it bears some resemblance to Eastern ghosts."

Pure White, standing beside her, said the same. However, she chose a pitch-black mask that only covered half of her face, completely contradictory to her name, Pure White.

But it doesn't matter, as long as they like it.

As for me, I chose a gray mask with a sinister smile, and the eye positions were shaped like crescent moons. If I had to describe it with something, it would be similar to the mask of a dark duke, but in red and with fangs.

I also felt it looked quite ugly, but it was less likely to reveal my identity this way. Otherwise, why bother wearing a mask? Just for adding DPS, right?

After leaving the small room, we officially entered this underground entertainment venue themed around nobility. But this place doesn't have a name, and the reason for that is to prevent it from being easily exposed.

Although the luxurious lives of nobles are nothing that needs to be hidden, for the nobles themselves, revealing the location of this place would jeopardize their safety. After all, many times, desperate commoners also bring a strong force.

However, nobles would privately refer to this place as "that place," and this is basically a consensus among most of them.

Well, let's not discuss noble matters for now, because we're not here to cause trouble for them.

On the contrary, we should be grateful to the nobles, otherwise someone wouldn't have stayed here for a long time, and I wouldn't have been able to find her so easily.

Yes, I came here to find someone.

If the terminal machine brought intelligence exchange into a new era, then she is the queen of holding information from the old era.

It is said that everything can be found on her information network, and the cost of exchanging information is very high. But her information is absolutely correct.

Of course, this may also have some legendary elements, but at times like this, it is important to know the other party's information.

And...

This person even put her advertisement on the terminal machine, and she's been promoting it everywhere, it's simply insane.

I saw it while randomly browsing the terminal machine the other day, a notice bound to other people's terminals with only one sentence written on it.

If you want to know something, go to that place.

Damn, this advertisement is simply concise and clear, no, it should be said that it's incredibly cryptic. People who don't know might think it's some random code added by mistake.

Except for one thing, she also added her name at the end.

'Nightmare of the Mind'

The strongest information merchant of the old era, a woman known only by a code name - Nightmare of the Mind.

How should I put it, it feels really mysterious. But since she said so clearly that it's at 'that place,' then this must be the right place.

When we arrived on the street, I explained to Oyado and Junbai about this. So now we only have one thing left to deal with... find this informant!

Although I know she's here and she's a woman, there are no pictures of her online. That means we'll have to find her ourselves.

How sad...

But with my All-knowing Eye, it should be easy to find her...

Hopefully...

Soon.

Why am I not using question marks?

Because I saw a name next to the bar.

"Nameless."

Neutral·Absolutely neutral·Informant·Nightmare of the Mind.

...

Oh my god! Such a famous person and she only has four titles? And one of them is compulsory by the system!

Maybe dear World just doesn't know what other title to give her, or maybe I have too many titles myself?

That's a real problem.

But now our task is not to find the answer, but to figure out how to buy information.

With that in mind, I slowly walked over and sat down next to the bar.

"What would you like to drink?"

The bartender with the crying mask asked me.

"I'll have a Mugwort Wine, and also, a drink for this young lady beside me. My treat."

"Sure, miss, would you like another Gale Split as well?"

At the bartender's question, the Nightmare turned to me and after a moment of silence, she said,

".... Before that, I would like to ask this peculiar young man, do you know my name?"

"Of course, Miss Nightmare," I responded immediately.

"...."

She looked at me for a long time and then said,

"In that case, I'll have another one."

---------------------------Dividing line-------------------------------

"By the way, you're the first customer who has come to my door since I posted the message," Miss Nightmare complained to me as we entered the private room.

"If it wasn't for the owner owing me a favor, I would have been really desperate."

"Well..." I looked at Oyado and then at Junbai.

"It's mainly because the location of your advertisement was not right. It was so subtle that only a few of us could see it."

"Really...? But lately, everyone has been using terminals instead of buying information from me. I wonder if terminals are popular or not?"

"I... I can't answer that either."

"True."

Why does this information dealer feel... so young?

She's clearly a well-known figure, but I thought she would at least be mature like Ms. Mary.

She doesn't look like it at all now... But this person's age is actually the same as Lanya's, showing as ??, it's really scary!

Even though my All-knowing Eye should be able to display it now, why is it...

"Alright, let me explain my rules first. Actually, there's only one, you tell me the information you need, and I'll determine the price of the information. Alternatively, you can exchange a more useful piece of information with the information I have. Of course, as a condition for the exchange, you are obliged to tell me your information in advance. Of course, you can choose not to agree and just leave."

Then she paused for a moment.

"So, what do you want to know?"
