Looking up at the blue winter sky as it leaves, Illis (Rene) sighs.

About three times in the past few days, Illis (Rene) had broken out of bed in the middle of the night and turned into Ninja by way of example, saving where the soldier's family was about to be attacked.

It was emotional perception that a strange group of hostilities was moving under the castle.

I prevented Night Python from trying, but my heart didn't clear.

- If you're going to be attacked all over the same city, you can still notice and go help, but if you don't, there's nothing you can do. Damn.

The effective range of emotional perception cannot even cover the entire city of Eltarev. Even those who are attacked in neighboring villages and outlying cities are unaware.

- If the Count's pawn drops like this, it could be the end of the battle to collapse... then you're in trouble.

Of course the Count is moving to decide the battle because he thinks so too.

They're finally headed to capturing the boss who controls the territory.

However, the goal of the Illis (Rene) is only to crush the Nightpython itself. If you can kick him out of the realm, he will have a tonal nightmare with the O.K. Count.

In the present situation, based on the hopeful observation that executives at the level of leadership would know exactly where the big boss is, we made a slightly messier plan to secure the status of the boss and then think about it.

Unfortunately, the Count has told me to leave a message, but I don't even need to pretend to be 'Illis' over this period. All you have to do is rush ahead of the boss's latent location that the Count has found out.

-... sucks. That's fine, but I definitely feel the noise leaks when I solve it with all my strength. There is talk that Night Python and the coup might be connected, and what's the matter?

If we make a scene when capturing the boss, and let the big boss get away with it, it's ruined.

I just want to do something sneaky if it doesn't have to be possible. After accomplishing the purpose, it becomes quite easy to move if not noticed on the part of the country, whether to prepare for the battle or to escape.

- But what exactly am I supposed to do with that?

Take Night Python and the Count to the point of bringing them into total war and defeating the big boss, for example...... no, you can't. It exceeds the Count's ability to deal with it. Hmmm... I wonder if I can force a breakthrough, this...

While thinking, Iris (Rene) was walking on the walls.

The cold wind seems to blow through and cool my head.

Count Keeley's castle, while relatively small in proportion to the size of the territory, is a battle fortress built with walls on a small high hill. Above the castle walls you can admire the views of the castle township.

When the soldier standing at the sentry notices Illis (Rene), he salutes him with respect, as he did to the Lord. I'm normally dressed as an adventurer now, but I guess this is how I salute Iris (Rene) for knowing what he's doing to protect Catherine.

- Mm-hmm. I can't think of an idea. Shall we just explore the reaction of the castle town for a moment?

Iris (Rene) maximized his emotional exploration and walked straight over the walls.

I chose the walls for my walking course on purpose to find out if anyone was watching the castle. I exterminated as many freelance assailants as I had been hired the other day, but it's not surprising that it's time for the next one.

If anyone was watching here, they would have thought that Iris (Rene), who was an important part of the young lady's shadow fighter, would have shown up and reacted and moved their emotions.

There was a surprisingly light response.

- Whoa, whoa? That's a building with a view of the castle.

Is this' surprise '? And the cold' hostility 'characteristic of the worker…

While walking, Iris (Rene) took out a crystal ball just in position to be the watchman's blind spot.

"" Farsighted Crystal Eye ""

Reverse detection is a brilliant success.

Inside the crystal balls were two men peeking out the window with their magical binoculars in the murderous room.

In addition to things like portable food and weapons clutter placed in the room, noisy things were available.

- Oh, well, it's a bag that's going to fit one person on the rope. Somebody's gonna grab this guy.

... No, wait, who?

One of the men took his eyes off his binoculars for a moment and looked at the kidnapping kit.

Illis (Rene) did not miss the trick.

- Me... is that it? Why is that?

I'll think about the usefulness of kidnapping for a moment, Illis (Rene).

As a nightpython, you'll also want to do something about the "dragon's throat" as you're attacking the Gassa intake troops and their families.

Considering why you want to come and grab me without killing me there...

- Well, I don't have an inside man anymore! They don't even know the Dragon's Throat isn't coming out for the last fight, they're trying to strike 'countermeasures'!

Killing the family of the Gassa entry unit was an effective attack. 'I don't want my family killed' and I'm even out on the run.

But let's say he killed a member of the Dragon's Throat. Would that be a warning not to get any more hands on it?

No, it won't. Instead, we will fight with all our might as a vengeance and condolence battle.

So what happens if you take a hostage?

Perhaps those three won't be able to move if they take Iris hostage.

- But how are you willing to grab me? You don't plan to leave the castle, and if you try to grab me in Shadowman mode, it's practically as difficult as grabbing a lady, right?

Wouldn't it be easier to deal with the "Dragon's Throat" four than to grab me if I was bad?

"Iris, are you there?"

There are suddenly people who call their names from under their feet.

"Benedict!"

Benedict was inside the walls and waving in the courtyard.

I know Benedict doesn't feel like it, but Illis (Rene) insignificantly holds down his robe skirt. If it spreads a little with the wind right now...

- Did I do something normally girly right now?... I've lived 10 years as a René, so it's not strange to have that habit.

It was a little complicated as "Long Ran," but there was no way Benedict noticed such a complicated twisted gender problem.

"Take this. To you."

Benedict threw up something like a larger card.

He flies as he twirls, and Illis (Rene) catches a white blade in front of him.

It was an envelope with the engraving of the Adventurer Guild pressed against it.

- From the Adventurer Guild?

"Thanks, Benedict"

Waving away Benedict, Illis (Rene) opens the envelope.

What was inside was a call letter from the guild.

The contents were long and over-decorated styles, but summarising the seven lines of text in one line is: 'Come and correct me because I found deficiencies in my previous request (quest) report'.

As an adventurer, and as an guild, I'm talking about a part that shouldn't be appropriate.

That's why I'm too suspicious.

Or the timing is too good.

Illis (Rene), who thought something was wrong, immediately thought of it.

- Oh...! There was a Night Python inside the Adventurer Alliance! You were a spy for the city python, but the rear python reconnected.

I thought I couldn't do anything anymore, and I had no way of naturally communicating the existence of an insider... so I left it. You're gonna use it here...

I don't know if it was a fake document put out on its own by an insider in the guild, or if it blew in something the branch manager (master) never had and made him write, but I'm pretty sure he's involved anyway.

And it's impossible to get all together and get out of the castle first than it's just the "dragon's throat whistle” job to protect the Count. Especially now right after the Count's assassination attempt.

Inevitably, one Iris (Rene) will go out with about two people even if they are not.

Eighty-nine, it was a trap to lure Illis (Rene).

- All right, all right, then let me use it. I'm leaving with a duckling onion on my back. Poisonous Gamo and Poisonous Leek, though! If you eat it, I'll break your stomach!

I feel more like fishing. The fish stopped by from the other side. All you have to do is sprinkle him with bait.

- Well. Talk to everyone at the party... but you better not. I could be stopped. Do you want to keep going?

"Fly."

Iris (Rene) jumped off the walls, stealing his watchful eye.

There seemed to be more men watching this, and they began to move hastily in surprise and haste.

Following that movement, Illis (Rene) descends into the city fluttering through the universe.

Illis (Rene) descended on the street that hit the side of the castle and began walking the shortest distance to the Adventurer's Guild.

It's a path through houses and alleys between buildings. In short, it's good for attacking.

Two hostile men were rapidly approaching.

I no longer have to use the power of emotional perception, but the more I reach out, the darker I feel the signs.

I know this is still going to kill the signs, but 'reading the signs' is about sensing a faint stream of magic. And the body of Illis (Rene) is an undead who perceives the world by magic. I am good at reading signs.

Men kill footsteps and get close.

I'll pack the difference between walking relaxed and walking Illis (Rene). And.

"Mmmm!?

Trying to jump all at once somewhat closer together, Iris (Rene) was held from behind, and his mouth and nose were blocked with an even wetter cloth.

Magical air enters the body. As a courtesy, Iris (Rene) cries out and goes wild.

- Sleeping Potion... This will work for three hours or so... increase resistance... Tanyuku... Nei.

The consciousness of Illis (Rene) was interrupted so that it was cut off from the bump.
