Golden Experience

Episode 433: Mission Invasion

Professor Mori Etty's expectations led him to infiltrate the castle, Ferres Uhnus, but he didn't get much useful information.

Speaking of the information delivered to the professor, it didn't matter which maid gave me a snack, which soldier didn't like how to stroke it.

I am worried whether it is really okay, but it has been conveyed that I understood the instruction of the professor properly, and it is better not to be wary if it is a little too cat-like. So I forced myself to be convinced.

I don't seem to like cats apart from my core Merchiole, and even if I see them, I just glance at them and they don't do anything in particular.

From that look, I can see that at least Merchiore doesn't have the "Magic Eye".

The two yogis seem to be hunting as vigorously as ever, but the number of cases of Merchiore accompanying them is decreasing.

They should have been asked by professors for an unusual amount of crusades, but I wonder if they were expecting it. The pace of the yogis' hunt seems to be a bit slower than even Merchiore's.

If you don't know what else to do or how to live, the yogis finish the work they've been asked to do surprisingly quickly and ask for more work.

If the first increased request is the same level of work as the steelmaking request that the professor said, it can be said that it is a workload that is off track.

It's not directly related to the professor, but a one-off pervert just feels instinctive fear.

Then Merchiole forced the yogis to do outside work, and on the contrary, he became free.

I wonder if you can't keep up with me before I increase my hunting requests to the yoichi for reasons such as being busy. Uhnus reported that he was hanging around the castle more often.

In that case, I thought it would be a little adventurous, so I asked him to find an opportunity and follow Merchiole.

However, only the castle will be followed. If Merchiore leaves the castle and leaves town, he decides to have another cat follow him.

I don't know if Merchiore cares about such detail, but it's basic to replace personnel appropriately when tailing them over long distances. Basically, replacing the cat crew is basic.

I got a call from Ferres Trace, the black cat in charge of the city.

It appears that Merchiole is heading for the professor's forgery.

In that case, I was trying to get in touch with Mauricio, but what is he doing?

I thought I was having a relaxing tea at the castle with Ferres Uhnus.

Ferres Uhnus is free time in a sense right now, so I don't mind, but Mauricio is troubled if we don't get it right.

It would be bad to have people on breaks and shifts on the job together. This was something to watch out for as a manager.

Anyway, if Merchiole is coming, we need to hide what we don't want to see.

First, Ferres Duo, a tiger cat at the forgery, was taken out the window. Melkiole has been seeing cats a lot lately, and even though they are different, if there are cats in the forgery, they may be suspected of being relevant.

If you let the cat escape, instruct Barnabas to do his job properly.

I haven't done anything particularly meaningful, but I always keep the furnace on fire during business hours. I also occasionally put the right sword on a fake outfit. I'm just going to let it continue.

"─ ─ Looks like you're doing it, Ursus. I don't know how we're doing."

"This is Lord Merchiore. I'm sorry you came all this way.

No, it's hard to make the steel you asked me to make. Now I'm using some of the steel I've finished to make a sword. "

"Really? I'm sorry about that. I hope you put that behind you and prioritize the development of new technologies first."

"I'd like to do that in the mountains. Eventually, the situation where there is a lot of work to be done is so restless that I can't get into the research. Sex, huh? As long as you resent your delicate self."

In the dark, I'll stick a nail in your nail and tell you that your research is not proceeding because you pushed me into an extra job.

I know you're wary of professors, and it's the right thing to do, but the way you do it is too powerful.

However, I do not want to say that the way of doing it is bad, but rather to praise it. The fact that the professor found it cumbersome meant that harassment for the purpose of delay had more than a certain effect.

In most cases, attacking with pure strength and quantity is the hardest thing to deal with.

However, as for those who do, I just want to complain about one thing.

"If that's the case, I can't help it. If you'd just told me right away, I'd have dropped it."

"No, because there were already piles of ingredients loaded when you lent me the blacksmith. Besides, I have already made some progress, and some of it is also used for research. It doesn't suit your nature to throw out the work you've been working on, and it won't bother you even if you withdraw it now. The results are uncertain from the original project. I want you to be patient."

That's true, too.

That said, Merchiole had a faint smile.

I don't think so, but I don't think so.

"By the way, aren't you going hunting with those two lately? She seemed to have gotten along a lot ─ ─"

"No, I'm not really close."

"Really? The day I first met her, I hugged her despite my first encounter ─ ─"

I don't know. I don't remember.

The faint smile disappeared from the Merchiole and turned into a real face. It's a clear lie, but I can feel the will to make this answer true with a firm determination.

"I can't keep hunting every day either. Recently, those two have gone alone. Even so, they're really great people. I didn't expect you to take care of the monster at that pace. I'm really sorry I can't come with you because I'm busy."

Very often. A faint smile is attracting me.

"Well, I'm really honored to have you taking such valuable time to look at my research. Even so, I'm still practically a blacksmith."

And what we're actually doing is supporting local people in Barnabas.

"It's like I stopped by here for a while. Don't worry about it.

Now it's time for me to excuse myself. It would be helpful if you could process the iron as quickly as possible. "

Let's do something good

Merchiole left with a faint smile on his face. I'm not convinced, but I guess you didn't come up with a good rhetoric to beat the professor.

I'm sure I've led the people well for a long time, but I don't think there's ever been a type of citizen who doesn't listen like a professor. Or maybe even if he showed up, he came straight away to take care of it.

After Merchiore's footsteps completely disappeared from the professor's enhanced hearing.

"─ ─ Ferres Trace, follow him. No, I'll take turns. Ferres Duo, take over his tail. Ferres Trace is a backup. Thank you very much."

Outside the blacksmith's yard, a cry of understanding was heard, and the two families followed Merchiole.

Since the professors came to this Kera Malefix, Merchiore has been out hunting with the yogis like every day. It was only recently that I began to behave differently from that routine.

Changing behavioral patterns deserves vigilance. Maybe it's not just because you don't want to be with the yoichi or because you want to force them to work, but it's time to go to the king in captivity.

According to the professor's reading, the king should be in the center of the castle, but there is no doubt that he would dare to be outside the castle. Indeed, it is difficult for no one living in the castle to know, no matter how careful they are, that they were confined inside the castle.

"Mauricio wasn't as useful as I thought, but he gave me a lot of information. So far, I don't think there's any waste in the hand I hit. The fact that there is no waste means that no mistake has been made. I mean, I'm doing my best.

I wonder if it was human resources waiting for my destiny. If we're doing what we can, we have to wait for the results. "

─ ─ It's the best sky. I didn't think it was left in the literature of the Western continent. I'm sure Miss Bran cared.... hmm, the spawning cycle is 500 years. Given when this literature was written, is it about time?

It is unclear whether the content is designed as a raid boss or something else, but given the timing of the start of the game service, it is certainly time to lay eggs.

However, there is no specific spawning location, so you'll need to look for another tip to find out.

If there are other literature written at the same time, is it likely that Rare is heading to Shigen Castle?

Or are there any other cities left?

Mauricio, the meeting partner, talked to her as she was taking notes of the literature in the castle's library.

"─ ─ I've read the literature before, but I don't know how much it's true. I've never seen such a monster before."

"I guess so. This is the basement. I can't even see the sky before the best. If you've seen it in this country, it's a problem.

I came here today because I wanted to ask you a few questions. "

It was a house that Ferres followed after Merchiore that day.

Close to the castle, not far from the professor's forgery. It is unclear what that mansion is at this stage, but I have no idea.

When Merchiore fled to the Underground Kingdom, he lived temporarily.

If there were a mansion, it would be very suspicious if there were still business there. It was hundreds of years ago that I went into exile. It is not conceivable that there are a few things left behind.

"Is this the house where Merchiole used to live?

For now, please put on ”Dear”. If you abandon it normally, you won't be able to leave it in the event of an emergency. "

"Excuse me. It was the house where Merchiole used to live. In that case, Merchiole is still used today. Well, it's like a vacation home. It is managed by yourself, but it seems that people may be put in to clean up...."

Ferres and the others reported that unlike other mansions, there were no signs of people at all.

If the King is confined to the place, Ferres' report that there are no signs of humans is worrying, but he is making time to visit. There must be something.

"Tell me more about it later. Inquire whether it is the same as the Mansion I know. And do you know who the cleaner is?

"No, that's it... Do you want to check it out?

"That's right... Then take charge of the treasury of this country. Be careful how you listen. They never use the word" Merchiore's Mansion, "they say," and they only look into unused spending. "

Dictators tend to confuse organizational and individual money. Because there is no one to point to embezzlement.

I don't know if Merchiore has a sense of dictatorship, but it is possible that he does not separate personal assets from state-owned assets. Since you will also pay your own salary, there is no need to apply for income, so there is little point in splitting the two. Otherwise, the national treasury may be paying for expenses that will be required on a regular basis.

Originally an exiled royal family, it is also conceivable that the initial living expenses were officially paid by the state. It is no wonder that the upper echelons of the country have disappeared and no further instructions have been given, and that it continues even now.

In light of the above, the professor thought it unlikely that the money would be paid by the state if the cleaner was regularly hired.

However, it is impractical for Merchiore to have complete control over all of the country's assets, and the trustee will be separate.

If so, the trustee would know. Find out where the cleaner is.

It was also possible to close the bet in the middle of the year, but the professor's thoughts were strong and the trustee knew the janitor of the house.

It seems to be a cleaning business, or originally it was mainly engaged in the business of dispatching personnel such as housekeepers, but it seems that they are dispatched only for cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc., in a short period of time for houses that do not need to be stationed. That said, there are not many such cases. The dispatch of housekeepers is also mainly limited to members of the denominational community living outside the castle, mainly a business that specializes in dealing with a faction of Merchiore.

The professor initially intended this cleaner to be "on duty."

However, if you are a vendor with a strong relationship with Merchiole, you should be careful.

It's not a maid, but if you accidentally approach something you don't need to know and get rid of it, it's a problem that you didn't die.

The professor had no choice but to have Ferres Quattle, a newly "operational" honeycomb cat, keep an eye on the mansion and wait for the cleaner to come.

I could have let the cat search for a day when no one would come, but the Mansion was literally locked so tightly that no cat child could enter. It may not be impossible to unlock the key, but it would be troublesome if Merchiore was using some technology to secure the key. You should not be alarmed about someone you don't know. A light player traveling alone may be a little adventurous, but the professor isn't.

Later, the cleaner came to clean the house. You must have received it from Melchiore. I'm entering the Mansion with a key.

In order to ventilate, the janitor first opened the window in the mansion.

Ferres Quattle slips into the Mansion and hides.

After that, change the hiding place according to the cleaning progress and wait until it is locked before the mission ends.
