170. A stopover?

"Lena, I'm gonna check this area a little bit."

"...... Do you know where the Renodis and the others are?"

Well, that's what happens. Perhaps they'll come after you, so keep an eye out for them.

Got it.

That said, I used magic to investigate the surroundings, and there was a little goblin-like reaction at a distance, and there was a human-like reaction nearby.

(Could this be the reaction of the Renodis?)

Mr. Xeros was slowly going to the building when he thought of such a thing. It looks like I'm walking in search of something, but I don't know what I see walking in that direction. But I wonder if Mr. Xeros is slowly moving on to find the traces of the Renojis? Ms. Zeros stopped in front of the building, reacting to her thoughts.

I approached Mr. Zeros and spoke in a small voice.

"(Have you found the location of the Renojis?)"

"(Yeah, probably in this building. We will enter carefully, but be prepared for an attack)"

(Got it.)

Having been told so, I took out the easy-to-swing sword and Mr. Xeros slowly went into the building.

As I entered the building, there were traces of blood on the ground.

(... could it be that Xeros-san followed this bloodstain?)

I thought about that, but now I thought I should be careful when the Renojis came out, and I was using magic to keep an eye on the area. However, the magical reaction doesn't seem to be that they are hiding in the depths or moving...

Then, as I went towards the back, there was a person lying on the ground and a person who seemed to be a watchman. At first, he seemed to be on the lookout for us, but he still didn't realize we existed. Then Mr. Zeros approached them and called out when the distance between them was less than five meters.

"Looks like he's alive."

Yeah, who is it?!

Surprised by Mr. Zeros' voice, they were holding up their weapons, but the person who was lying down was standing up in pain.
