Chapter 16 Adventure and Prestige of Tension

Bloody safety zone (safe area).

Carcasses have been slashed or burned everywhere.

"Hyi......!

Even now, the eleventh man fell through his chest with Gem's sword.

The last one left was Aruba.

"Well, what's going on...!? These are our trained soldiers!! That's..."

If you are a person trained by a nobleman, you have enough strength to be a first-rate person.

But he left Aruba and all of them were defeated.

In contrast, the four Elmers had returned blood but were not even wounded.

An overwhelming difference in strength that can overwhelm the difference in numbers.

"You must be C-ranked adventurers! The defeated ones have a higher rank than you! As far as I'm concerned, it's rank A. But why....."

The absence of anyone but herself blocks the words by noticing that Elmer, Gem, and Deer are pulling out their swords.

Though there was Jilly in the back, she decided that her turn was over and put her wand to her hips.

The sight irritates Aruba.

"It's a simple story. Because rank is only one indicator."

"What do you mean...."

"We're all over the place for training."

"So I don't have a chance to get along with the Alliance Master."

Conditions for becoming a B Rank Adventurer must be accepted by the Alliance Master of the Adventurer Alliance based in.

You can also become an A-Rank Adventurer by being recognized by multiple Alliance Masters.

Elmers who operated without a base had no chance of being recognized as Alliance Masters.

However, due to the achievements to date, I was able to increase my rank to C rank smoothly.

"So, are you going to say that you have more strength than A rank!?"

"I never cared so much while I was at the Mansion, but I was able to get out and realize how strong they were."

I've been training you for years since I was a kid, so I can't be weak.

But it was stronger than we expected.

"I thought I'd get hurt because of the difference in numbers."

"I didn't even grab it."

"You fought with more thought than simple strength."

Isla and Noel are also impressed by the strength of the four.

I was going to help someone if they were in trouble, but we didn't show up at all.

"Well, you're ready for this."

"Wait...! I didn't mean to hurt you!"

"... I've attacked you with a deadly weapon."

Attacked with a pointed sword or spear.

I can't be trusted even if they say I didn't intend to harm you.

"We were going to negotiate. I attacked them to make them understand where they stand."

"Which one didn't you understand?"

Looking at the current situation, it is clear which one is the weak.

"... do you understand what it's like to be hostile to nobles?

"Of course I understand."

"No, I don't understand. If the nobles are serious, it's easy to crush civilians!

Directly hurt with privately held combat power.

I suffer indirectly from not having to work by applying pressure.

There is much you can do because you are a nobleman with power.

"You haven't reflected at all. We should have left when we found out we had something to do with Mars."

That was the best.

We're busy with things, so we don't have time to deal with people who aren't involved.

"Unfortunately, that's not what my parents think."

As for Aruba, he knew who he was and was going to retreat as of yesterday.

However, the people who could be their watchdogs underestimated the opponent… Rather than overestimated themselves as aristocrats, they acted in the belief that there was nothing the civilian population could do.

Really? Then persuade me. "

"Hmm, well...?

"If you have defeated all opponents, you can't kill them. If you're going to do that, you'd better be on your side... and not hostile."

However, there is no point in Elmer persuading Aruba's parents.

The opponent is a person who overestimates the power of the nobility. No matter how powerful or connected they are, people who are only civilians are only frustrated by having reciprocal negotiations.

"You know how barren it is to be hostile this time."

"But...."

For Aruba, the opponent has a higher status than himself.

No matter how many sons and even the brother who separated the blood, there is no way I can convince the other person who will handle it.

"You can, not you can't. We have to do it."

Point your sword at your neck.

Threatened Aruba slowly moved her face vertically.

Alright, go now.

Ah.

"I hope we never see each other again."

"Of course!

Leave the place to escape.

I can't help it because I can't see it, but we're right next door.

"You're more scared than you can see."

"I didn't mean to threaten you so much...."

"No, if you take down all the people you trust, you'll be terrified."

Eleven people were killed.

If the difference in the number of people is tripled, it can't be helped if it looks like a monster.

"Then I'm sorry for taking the liberty of using my name."

"I'm sorry."

Not only the representative Elmer, but also the three Dears lowered their heads.

It was evidence that they really felt sorry for themselves.

"Never mind. They seem to be wearing exactly what we taught them, and on the contrary, they're relieved."

Use whatever is available.

There's no doubt that Elmer and the others were under my protection, and it's easy to find out after a little information-gathering with Alistair.

Because it is a fact, there is no great significance to denial.

"I was relieved to learn how to avoid this kind of trouble."

"It's only a last resort. Besides, I always thought that Mars and the others were visible at first."

I was going to borrow prestige by showing you who I was behind.

However, there was a discrepancy in the negotiations because it was hidden.

"I rarely do this."

"It's a good way."

"I mean, that would bother Mr. Mars, wouldn't it?

While in the Mansion, Elmer saw those who acted to take Sierra hostage in an attempt to use our power.

However, no one has succeeded as a result of acting in advance.

I didn't want to use it as a means to avoid the prior action.

"Then you need to acquire the power to influence your surroundings quickly."

If Elmer himself had the strength, he wouldn't have to rely on me.

"Of course. I was just thinking about going back to Alistair before winter."

"Really?

"Yes, because the city is the easiest place for us to spend it."

If you chose to go back to Aleister after looking outside, there is no reason to disagree.

"Besides, it was irregular this time, but I was thinking about going home."

Well, I hope so.

With Aleister, my influence is too strong to be Elmer's own.

I wonder what you're thinking because smart Elmer shouldn't have noticed.

"Now one of the problems has been solved."

Alba, who is disturbing Elmer, has been cleared.

"It's no problem to go deeper into the labyrinth like this, but the big problem on the 30th floor of the basement hasn't been solved."

Are you really thinking about it?

Find the entrance to the hidden basement 31st floor.

I was gathering information to help solve the problem while continuing the offensive.
