Inferior Magic Swordsman: Using the Skill Board to Become the Strongest

"And, Tor!?"

Immediate morphological change to bow.

Shortly after thinking, the permeable body quickly squeezed the strings and released them.

- Gah!!

A black arrow emitted by the permeation pierced the stone wall of the Marquis' mansion without a trace.

"Yes, what the hell are you doing, Thor! This is Marquis Mansion!!"

"Estelle, let's go"

The penetration, realizing the identity of the sign, prompted Estelle in a low voice.

"Yes, let's go, where..."

"To where the enemy is."

○

After an interview with the adventurers. Tomas was walking towards the office.

The adventurer I met earlier said something extraordinary about the reward.

"More so, what is a whole house..."

There is a shortage of vacant houses in Finris today, sometimes just after demonic raids and fires.

As a result, the merchants raised the price of the house.

In the past, I could have bought 10 pieces of gold (for the lowest ranked house).

If it's a reward of that magnitude, there's nothing you can't offer.

However, the current lowest price jumps to about forty gold coins.

What a stubborn creature a merchant is!

Besides, at present, Finris has a lot of money.

Money just comes out of the vault, including a sightseeing fee for survivors, a lump sum for those who have lost their homes, tax exemptions and repairs to public roads.

I wanted to avoid spending as much as forty gold coins in that if I could be the lead butler.

And - this is the most important thing.

Thor was inferior, according to information Tomas had previously tipped off.

I have no intention of questioning the guild's information, but I could not sincerely believe that every inferior could defeat Warwolf in Tomas.

Thomas thinks he must have been lucky enough to get Warwolf's wreckage out of the way of the commotion.

You can't give an excessive reward to an arrangement like a fire scene thief.

"I'm sure you won't listen to me if I talk to Gaios."

Gaios is sweet to the people.

It becomes so sweet, especially to the people who have achieved results.

Even if they're inferior.

That is both the good and the bad.

Although he is primarily the best person, he is a headache seed as the one who keeps his finances.

"... I have no choice. Would you like to circle your opinions a little here?"

They said they wanted a whole house, but it's a past reward for the inferior.

Let's put one here in the line that it didn't add up to hope.

(Okay, so what replacement should we have for them...?

It was when Tomas entered the office.

There was just one woman sitting on the executive desk used by Tomas.

The woman wore white clothes and was lowering a small dagger from her waist.

I've never seen her face before, but Tomas knew the woman's name.

"- Rebel Luca!?"

"Oh. Did you find out -"

Details of this Finris raid had been conveyed to the top and lords of the Adventurers Guild, and very few others.

The adventurer Luca served the demon and unleashed it on Finris.

She is currently on the run......

Tomas understands a lot about her prowess.

Luca is an Adventurer C rank and bears two names: "Blood Painted".

I'm alone in the Chamber with Luca like that. And what this means......

Tomas tried and behaved calmly, aware of the cold sweat flowing through his own back.

"... how the hell did you get in here?

"If it's a way to break in, it's as good as it gets. For example, an internal official gave you a guide."

"- Huh!?"

(Such an idiot. Among those who work in the Marquis' mansion are those who have passed through with Luca!?)

Officials working at the Marquis Mansion are regularly conducted by an inside detective.

That is no exception to Tomas.

It was unthinkable to Thomas that there would be one who had passed through that mole with Luca.

"Haha. It's confusing. Surprised? It's a lie to have an official guide you. You can't honestly teach me the manipulation I got into."

Luca blurted her legs on the desk so she could make fun of Tomas.

If we get her, we'll get a new desk. Tomas, trembling in anger, swore to his heart so.

"... Phew. I don't know where this place is. It's not abandoned. The Marquis residence is always guarded by elite soldiers. You'll never get away with this again."

"Well, what about that?"

Luca put her hand on the dagger, still looking out of her mind.

The next moment, Tomas ran to the door.

As long as you open the door. As long as you shout.

Someone comes to this place.

So, Luca is done!

One meter to the door.

It was only a meter.

Yet,

"Well, goodbye."

Tomas couldn't grab the door knob.

Luca approached me at a terrible speed and grabbed me by the shoulder, forcing me to turn my back.

- He's gonna stab me!

Tomas had a feeling of severe back pain, but the next moment.

"Ugh!

Together with Luca's voice, Tomas was freed of his shoulders.

(What the hell, what's wrong!?)

If it were meant to be, Tomas should have called the guards even soon.

But at that time he was strongly interested in Luca's anomaly.

I could have stabbed Tomas in a little while.

Why did she miss that chance?

Tomas, looking back, saw a pitch-black arrow stabbing Luca in the shoulder.

Until earlier, there was no such thing attached.

In the present circumstances, it is reasonable to assume that an arrow stabbed her at the time Tomas was attacked.

But where did that arrow come from?

- This is a secret room. The fact that the glass wasn't broken made it seem like it was released from inside the room.

Also, who let that arrow go?

- The guard using the bow and arrow was not in the mansion.

No question, Tomas didn't know.

"Aha. Did you feel my killer at this distance? No, it's more than a wildlife feeling. Failure -"

……

Luca pulled out an arrow that stabbed herself, holding her shoulders down and laughing thinly.

Not knowing what the words she spoke meant, Tomas tilted his neck.

"Well. Now that I'm in the way, I'm free around here today."

"Oh, hey, wait a minute! You are..."

"You're saying I'm gonna miss you, aren't you?

"- Huh!!"

Suddenly Luca turned off her grin and looked at Tomas.

I don't have any emotions in my eyes.

Illusional as if he had glanced into the bottomless darkness that swallowed men, Tomas shook his spine.

My hips almost crumbled and fell, but Tomas only holds on to the handkerchief's hold.

"See you later. I'm sure I'll never see you again."

Once again I put a thin laugh on my face and Luca flickered out of the office window.

The office window leads to the courtyard. Running away from it is a sack of rats.

Tomas looked for Luca's back with her face out the window, but she disappeared neglectfully as if it were an illusion.
