According to information gathered by Mr. Sparash, Jacobini himself is in a villa around the eastern shore of Lake Nonoyahuk.

But the villa is in Count Donahamana territory. It is one of the most fortified cities in the southeastern part of the kingdom, surrounded by walls like khanats. Not all directions are surrounded by the walls, like Kutanutsu, but the place facing the lake is defenceless.

"Empty houses are the same if you put such walls on a boy. Come on. Boy can't smash the main entrance to his villa. In that gap, I aim directly at his room from the roof. After the boy stormed out, it was easy enough to give a signal, so I asked him to pick up the light there.

"I get it. Is the infiltration okay on its own?

"That's right, you're such a jizzy opponent. Come on with an easy win by yourself. If I could even get down to the roof of the villa, I'd have won.

I don't feel prudent enough for Mr. Sparrash, but is it okay?

Looking at that prize money, I guess the deputy is serious. Ten pieces of white gold is for 10,000 pieces of gold. But can we pay that kind of amount? Or are you out of bees... a hundred and twenty people have been killed...

Doesn't that mean you haven't dispatched all your troops cheaply?

The decision is tomorrow night. I am off from school and will be arriving in Count Donahamana territory with Mr. Sparrash before dawn. So do a little digging and wait for the night.

"Boy, you can keep dressed like a civilian adventurer over there. Easy access to Count's liquor stores and weapons stores.

"Ok. No problem. Do you have anything else I should have for you?

"No, it's okay. Come on. I'll make it easy when I prepare it. By the way, what do you want, prize money, status or territory?

"It's a prize. I'm hoping to split it in half with Mr. Sparrash, okay?

"I can. I'll grab another guy besides Jacobini and make sure he wants the village.

That's surprising. What are you going to do with the village?

Well, I don't ask because I don't feel comfortable talking about this before I get it, but will it work with such a dodgy plan?

Exit Kutanutu from the south castle gate before sunset and go to Count Donahamana territory. Mostly about six hundred kilometers southwest, you'll be there in two hours.

"Boy...... this time it's easy for you to go along with your unscrupulous work...... thank you very much. It was called a poison needle, and I put my foot on the assassination operation for a while, but at the end of the day, I wanted a medal. Come on.

"Can you tell me that? You hate assassination guilds, don't you? Well, Mr. Sparrash doesn't matter anymore, does he?

"Heh, I can't get him involved for another fifteen years. That's right, but I want a medal to defeat the enemies of the Kutanatsu I took care of. Come on. For some reason, I wanted you to listen to me. By the way, you know Alan's husband.

I find Mr. Sparrash's story interesting, but don't bother looking like a death flag today. And it's an assassination operation...

When it was completely dark and I wasn't sure where I was flying.

"I can see it. That wall is the heart of Count Donahamana's territory, in the fortified city of Lafort. Come on.

I see. It does look like a robust wall of kutanut-like walls. And near the castle gate, the fire of pine lights the area brilliantly. You got people in and out at this hour?

We stepped down to an unpopular location within the walls.

"Come on, Bowes.

"Yes, senior!

From here I am Bowes and Mr. Sparrash is a senior. Find the Inn first.

Mr. Sparrash is drinking while walking.

The inn was found in no time. Probably the usual lodging around there. The receptionist also has one aunt.

"Whoa, it's the two of us. A room?"

It's unthinkable language from the usual Mr. Sparrash. And it smells like alcohol.

"One silver coin for both of us, I paid in advance. If you have dinner, it's a different price. What do you want?

"I don't need it anymore. Don't wake me up till noon because I don't even need it in the morning. See."

"Hmm, you're stuck. I'll knock you out after lunch! The room is the back of the second floor.

After all, only Affordable Accommodation is narrow, dirty, and dusty with three beats.

"Bowes go to sleep first. I'm going out for a drink.

This is also as per the meeting. Go check the security situation at night. The smell of alcohol is also in the making. Even if the guards see you, you let them through with a lost drunk.

In the meantime, I'll keep my room and futon clean because I'm free. Brother Odie, the cleaning is done without enough room if you can do the direct laundry magic.

It hasn't even taken five minutes to disinfect the futon.

There's a knock on the door.

"It is an innkeeper. Let's have it open.

You're lying...
