Ten people wearing black coats appear in front of the carriage from the side of the street.

"Don't stop that wagon!"

What you hear is unexpectedly the voice of a woman.

Ten men are armed.

"Sister, I smell gold."

"Yes, I don't know what it's loaded with, but it looks like it could sell at a high price."

Everyone appeared in front of the carriage except the woman who called out.

It can be expected that they are not travellers because they stop the carriage of merchants who use the streets, whether they are women or not, and target the loading.

"Thank you!"

A man calls out to the man who was near the carriage.

He was a five-person adventurer hired by a merchant as an escort.Led by the B rank adventurer, the Adventurer Alliance was also an escort to ensure strength, as others were also C ranked.

Oh, I'll take care of it.

An adventurer who responds to your voice.

But the thief who heard the voice burst out laughing with anger.

"Hahaha! Even if I say adventurers, can they protect us?"

"... apparently a bandit who doesn't even know what he's capable of."

The male adventurer turned his gaze toward the thief.

Bandits who are confident in their power tend to look down on adventurers.And because they trust their strength and are asked to escort them, adventurers can't afford to defeat bandits to meet expectations.

Draw your weapon at the ten thieves standing in front of you.

"You know that."

Ah.

Not only ten guards are on guard.In the shadow of a nearby rock, on a tree in a remote place.I felt several signs of being held hostage as an ambush.

Be alert to unaware opponents.

"Ah...."

One of the guards fell down moaning.

The guard, who was alert to the bandits, was delayed in noticing the sudden reaction of his companions.Still, I immediately switch my mind.

Vigilance!

A knife was stuck in the neck of the collapsed guard.

There's no sign of a bandit moving while he knows where he's hiding.In other words, if they were attacked in any way, it would be an attack from a place they don't know.

Where the hell did you come from...?

I have no choice but to be vigilant in all directions because I can't figure out where I am, even though I am anxious.

Keep your backs on each other and watch your surroundings.

"Right there!"

The only wizard in the party throws a blade of wind.

The wind blade that was supposed to run through the empty space rips something apart and the cloth breaks into the air.Then a figure appears next to the place where the blade of the wind passes through.

Discard magical tools that allow the woman wearing the jacket to assimilate with the surrounding landscape because they are no longer effective.It is difficult to capture with the naked eye, but if you are good at detecting magic like a wizard, you can detect magic to hide and supplement your position, and if you are good at detecting signs, you can find it even if you are hiding.

But the guards were the ones who appeared before their eyes, the ones hiding in rocks and trees.Both of them were able to capture me, so I was less alert to the others.

Thanks to this, I've lost one ally.

What do we do?

"... you'll have to do it."

The guards knew the existence of the magical tools that the bandits used to hide.However, if you buy such magical tools, you will need a lot of money.It's not a very good substitute for bandits.

At this stage, we changed the bandits' reputation.

I'll do my best.

Oops!



A few minutes later.

In the place where the bandits and the guards fought, the men's guards fell to the ground and sank in the sea of blood.No one was able to move, and it was easy to predict that everyone was dead because of the amount of red blood staining the ground.

"Is this what this is?"

I can't help it, Sebastian.

After the battle, the thieves were amazed at the men's abilities.

"Well, that's the end of the fight.It's time to raid from here. "

"Hyi......!"

A merchant who could not follow the fierce battle unfolding in front of him and could not even think of escaping attempts to escape.

But there's no way a bandit would forgive that.

"Would you like me to leave the carriage with the cargo?"

"Oh no....!"

"Do you think you can refuse?"

The guard has been wiped out.

A merchant with a weapon in his defense can't fight a bandit who defeats all of his guards unharmed.

"Can life be saved?"

"Oh, we don't want your lives either.They killed them because they tried to get in our way, but if you give me the shipment, I'm not going to kill them. "

A merchant thinks.

If you can just give up the loading, you can miss it.However, I would like to avoid handing over loads because merchants also have livelihoods.

"... okay."

"I like to know things."

Profit is important, but life is more important than that.

If you give up the load, you get off the carriage.

You did it.

A thief peeks at the carriage.

"It's loading up a lot."

"Well, I wasn't expecting it because there was only one, but it seemed to be enough for all of us to live for a while."

The guard killed him.

The carriage and horse can be stolen in perfect condition, just keep moving the carriage and travel to Asia.

I'll get rid of it.

"Yes"

One of my men tries to get into the podium.

"Moa!!"

"What's the matter... Yikes!?"

The thief, who was trying to get into the carriage with a voice from behind, looked back.

However, an invisible bullet that flew from afar hit the forehead and fell to the podium sooner than the leader, the thief.

An attack from someone.

"Where are you!?"

I fell in love for a moment.

As soon as he regained his feelings, he shouted in the direction in which the bullet had flown.

"Thank you."

Bring Aila, Elise, and Noel from the shadow of the hidden tree.

Silvia and Melissa are waiting in the back, but they are disappearing in Silvia's [Secret].

The early appearance confused the thief.

"Was it the four of you who attacked me?"

That's right.

You don't have to teach them to exist.

Melissa needs time to calm down now.

"I'm an adventurer commissioned to crush bandits.I found some noise when I was running properly, so I rushed in a hurry... but it looks like it was too late. "

It is a lie that he was running properly.Before leaving the city, I let loose the wizard and searched for the bandits, and found the place under attack and ran.

However, it is true that I am sorry that I did not make it.

"Are you 32?"

"You....!"

It's not just people who are hiding in obstacles.

Including those who are hiding behind magical tools.It's only natural to be vigilant because Sylvia is disappearing in a similar way.

"Would you surrender, if possible?It's easier that way without us. "

You've been licked a lot.

Adventurers can't escort you when you look down.

Similarly, bandits cannot earn money unless they are feared.

"Are you going to win ahead of this number difference?"

There are only four of us.

Even though the guards were capable, they were attacked by surprise and lost, but they were defeated by four.

The conditions seem to be the same...

"You better be ready."

As the bandits pull out their weapons, so do we.

However, everyone has a low rank weapon and their status has been intentionally lowered.

You all know that, don't you?

Don't kill me, right?

If it's true, I wouldn't complain about killing a bandit....

Killing these people is a bit...

I am willing to fight all three.

However, I couldn't get nervous because of the other person's condition.
