Hero’s Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~

- Karin point of view

Night. Having succeeded in infiltrating without difficulty with flying magic, the two of us were just as indulgent as yesterday. There's a limit to the number of soldiers in places like how vigilant the King's Capital is, and it's impossible to keep an eye on everything. Besides, no matter what day you are, you shouldn't have the attention to notice anyone breaking in from the sky at night. That's why I let you into the city lightly.

"So, what do we do now, Ciel?

"Hopefully, the right chimps will speak from the other side,"

Saying so, Ciel looked around with anticipation eyes.

The first floor of the dining room is the same as a typical inn where we took the room. So there were not only inn guests around, but also many people who came from outside just to eat. But this inn was a little different from the normal inn. The surrounding guests are blind with no one left. Besides, it was kind of a slaughter, and it gave me an atmosphere about whether we were going to start fighting or killing each other. Even children must know that they're not robust at first sight.

Why this is happening is simply because the inn is in an insecure place. There are many dangerous places where rogues are immersed in every city, but the Wang capital was so large that its size was not comparable to the rest. It was like a small city would fit in perfectly, so it could be a place for us to hit and put on two ends at the same time, concealing ourselves and making contact with bandits.

Ciel observes every guest without any hesitation. Normal daughters don't have to be frightened because they're not a big threat to us right now. A few of the people with eyes ended up just looking back with sharp eyes, but some of the obviously bloody people stood up and came this way.

"What is it, sister? Are you complaining about us?

"If you're fighting, I'll buy you one."

"You know who you look big against?

"Here we go."

Siel looked at me when I said it was right for her, giggling at the threesome who spoke of dictative dialogue characteristic of chimps. Whether her attitude was obstructed or angered that the utmost intimidation had had no effect, the threesome instantly turns a bright red face.

"Wait, wait, wait! I was gonna give you a little play, but you're not gonna give me a break anymore!

"I'll hurt you and then I'll sell you to a whorehouse!

The next moment when the threesome put up a dagger on their hips - I thought - a dagger that had just been pulled out of their hands disappeared, all aligned and poked at the wall. Before the eyes of those people who didn't know what happened for a moment, the cutting edge of the sword I poked at was glowing.

"Nah......!?

"It's late. No matter how many of them are there, they're not our enemies."

I just glanced a little murderous, and the threesomes blued their faces and shut up. I may be confused as to what to do, knowing that the strength of the person involved is overwhelmingly above ourselves. They'll have a face, too, and whether you apologize here or fight from the front and get beaten up, either way, you'll be ashamed. This must be a pretty tough situation ahead of us in an area where upward and downward relations are determined by force over the average person. As the trio tried to move out with a crying face, trying to come at them with a rash, a voice sounded from the back stopping them.

"Stop it. Even if you're a hundred people, you're not gonna be their sisters."

"Ah, brother..."

Quietly standing up and showing up from the back seat was one man of unparalleled force. I can tell you're quite good at walking and being physical, even though you don't look that different in your physique. But this...

"Is it a bandit?

"Did you spot it at a glance? I'm still not the only one."

The man who overheard the words I leaked with potpourri laughed niggly as I was impressed.

"Somehow from the look of myself. Because he walked in a way that didn't set footsteps, unlike adventurers and stamina. It's a human move, isn't it, to steal or assassinate as a business?

"You're right. Surely I'm not a legitimate businessman. It is also a face around here at last. So one thing I want to ask you, why are you guys in this inn? If you guys were as smart as you are, you could stay in a luxury inn in the middle of nowhere.

I don't feel hostile from men. Of course, that's all, although I feel like falling back a little for when something happens and being able to move quickly. I guess I'm going to see how we get out of here. I turned a chilling glance at Ciel. Apparently, someone on target made contact with me, and we'd better leave the later negotiations to Ciel, who's in charge of brainwork. When she exhaled one, she shook her head in the way she said she had no choice.

"Can I talk to you about what's going on around there? I'm sure you'd like to talk to me."

"Talk to me? Hmm... let's just talk"

When the man sent the innkeeper some kind of signal with his finger, the shopkeeper threw one key over and pulled over. Receiving it, the man turned to the back of the counter and looked back at this one.

"Follow me. Don't worry about being eavesdropped on over here."

We get up and walk behind the counter after the man. The threesomes were treated like they weren't there from the beginning, and they were horny in person, but no one ever spoke to them.

"Sit properly. There's nothing carefree about tea, and you don't drink it when you serve it, do you?

The man quickened up the edge of his lips like he made a heartfelt funny joke. I know you're talking about poisoning, but it's not funny at all. Ciel did not deal with such a man and laid his back on a nearby chair. I'll stay standing and line up near the entrance. If you make a strange move, you're in a position to slap a man instantly.

"No problem. I just want to talk to you. Well, I'm sorry to be quick, but let me get this over with."

Without revealing who we were, Ciel told the man in detail about the whereabouts of Prince Magna and the circumstances in which he was seeking his collaborators. If we're part of a brave party, we're in danger of being sold information, and in a situation where we still don't know if a man can be trusted, there's no choice. The man wanted to know who we were, but it's like Ciel's only policy to penetrate pseudonyms.

"So if you're a Bandit Guild person, could you help me?

"Huh... Mm. I understand your situation. [M] Indeed, it is likely that our information network will find Prince Magna. But."

The man stares at Giroli and this way.

"Can you pay for what you've done?" As you know, we're not tough. Whatever the easy job is, a decent person demands a reward that will make eyeballs pop up, an organization that will continue to chase you to the end of the land if you can't pay it. Naturally, finding Prince Magna, who's missing, is a big job. Ten or twenty pieces of gold can't be a decent amount of money. Can you guys really pay for that? If you're going to step down, stop. No matter how strong you guys are, if they keep targeting you for 24 hours, you're gonna die one day. Are you guys ready for that?

Looks like the guy has absolute confidence in the organization. Sure, like the man says, it's tough if you slash each other from the front, anyway, when the situation continues that you might get stabbed from the back. Still, I'm not going to lose, but I'm not going out of my way to hostile this one either, so I'm just going to have to talk to you about it with my reward. Ciel has a spare attitude to reassemble his legs, as if he hadn't listened to the man's warnings and such.

"Don't worry if it's a reward. I can't tell you the details, but we have allies. A decent ally of the aristocracy. We just work on the person's hands and feet. If only Prince Magna could find it properly, the reward would remain to be hoped for."

"Heh..."

The man grinned invincibly as he guessed the general situation with all those words. When we say nobility looking for Prince Magna, our employers say nobility of the Magna faction. And if you're still a safe magna under this circumstance, there's only a powerful aristocrat with so much power. I mean, it's also financially stable, and I say that a hundred or two of the gold coins has the strength to pay.

"If anything, shall I write in a pledge? If you push it with blood, you'll feel a little safer.

"No, you don't have to. It would be over if they stepped down where they prepared such a thing for their aristocratic opponents. So let me redeem the reward for what Prince Magna looks like or for information on where he's lurking. So what do you say?

"... Indeed. That would be reasonable."

As a bandit guild I guess that's the maximum concession you can make because if you pay late, you could get away or stomped down.

"So, how much are you willing to demand?

"Right. A thousand pieces of gold. How about this?

"A thousand pieces!?

Ciel embarked on himself in surprise. Instead of double what I expected, there was literally one different digit. When it comes to a thousand gold coins, it is completely beyond what one can manage personally. It's a suspicious amount of money if you ask for it, Rubias.

What do we do? Ciel just looks at this one. I sighed scratching my head with Polypoli.

"Isn't it too much of anything?

"It's okay if you don't like it. We don't want to cross dangerous bridges either. You may not have talked about it."

I'll say it often. They're the only ones who cross dangerous bridges... But I can't help it. We can't find a clue on our own, and we'll talk to everyone about the money later.

"Okay. Then do me a favour."

"Hey! Seriously?

All I do is flatter my shoulders against Ciel, who's in a rare panic.

"There's no other way. The golden measure is... you can handle it."

"How are you... Take it easy"

"So it's settled, right?

When the man stood up softly, he barely turned the door knob around beside me. And when I try to get out of the room, I look back at Chillari and this one.

"Just for one thing, I'll keep an eye on you around. Tell them if you need anything. I'll be able to talk to you right away. I don't know who's watching... but you can tell by your strength."

That's all I said, the man just left the room. All we leave behind is a face to face and a bitter smile.

"I can't believe a thousand gold coins."

"But we're going to figure it out, and we're going to think it worked out."

"Because it's really easy for you. Well, fine. It's also true that I don't have any other hands."

We managed to make contact with the Bandit Guild by deciding to throw the most troublesome gold measure round Rubias.
