Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Episode 596: The Aftermath of Runaway - Ninja

At the end of the exam of the sunset, when it is the turn of the shore, the exam area is wrapped up in the darkness at once. For once, there was a degree of starlight, but still, there was almost no light source.

"The test status is night assault. More precisely, infiltration. It's also your original role... well, you know what I mean?

"Yes."

Sho snorts at the words of the engineer man. There has always been no turnout, but in fact, Sho's original role was that of a spy, or a scout, entering the enemy formation to get information before entering it. Until now, because of his power and necessity, his role has never been to look into the eyes of the Yang.

That said, unlike more than a decade ago now, Sho is equipped with the top rank C strengths. In addition, future investigations into the ruins will begin, and if you go to other territories, you may encounter bandits like Kate.

If you want to think about it, it was time to assume his original role, get his gear ready, and start practicing.

"Do you understand how to use the magic props I gave you?

"Yes."

Sho confirms that the hook shot attached to the left arm is securely attached. It was a simple version of what Kate used to use.

It omits functions such as displaying target materials that are not normally required to be used in the battlefield, and simply displays information on whether or not the target can be pierced from aiming, target strength, or the like. I decided to use magic silver (Mithril) as a wire, thinking about the magic I consume, so that I could use it as a stopping weapon if I had to.

Well, the range was greatly reduced to up to 100 meters due to the use of a wire with an entity, but it was only squeezed for indoor use or near the site, making it easy to use.

'I'll check again. The clothing features I gave you include wall-mounted gloves and shoes, and short stealth. The headscarf and set mask have a built-in comms machine and features to keep your voice out, so put the mask down when you talk to the outside. Stealth lasts only 5 minutes. When used up to a maximum, one minute cooling is required. Don't forget this place. It is equipped with a dark vision device and thermography of Tina's sister's prototype of headgear. Switch between the switches on the side.'

"Yes."

Sho uses a quick dark vision device when he lowers his headgear and covers his eyes. Then, even though it was in the dark night, my vision became brighter as if it were day, and I could clearly see things. Then start the thermography. but this time it hardly made any difference.

"... that? It doesn't show anything...?

'Oh, I'm sorry. This time the enemy is an easy golem. I don't have a temperature. Be patient there. "

Sho tells Sho all the time that the man in the technical squad had forgotten when Sho was leaning his neck towards the blue that filled his surroundings. For once, high performance golems made by Tina and leading technicians rarely have body temperature, but for use in the test area is a golem with a simple structure that is easy to repair even if destroyed. I didn't have the temperature with me.

"Oh, is that what you mean..."

Then you can't use it. Sho decides so and disconnects the thermography. Once the temperature was known, it was easy to understand the enemies hidden, but there was no choice but to use them.

"I'm sorry... so, do you know how to use your right hand?

"Yes. Every switch on your finger worked differently, didn't it?

'Oh, yeah. Acoustic sonar linked to the headgear monitor in turn from the index finger, markers linked to the headgear as well, firing anesthesia bullets from the index finger, firing acoustic bullets to attract enemies from the middle finger. Remember.'

Sho ascertains the feel of the switch on the right hand side. For once, it was set to be unusable unless your fingers were stretched to avoid shooting yourself by mistake, but it would be important to remember the feel.

Incidentally, the hand was made of non-slippery material on the palm of his hand so as not to interfere with the dagger he uses as his main weapon - now inside a dedicated sheath inside his clothes. As such, Sho checks several times to see how the dagger is holding and waits for the exam to be ready.

"Hey... I got this one ready. That way, if you think you're all set, shoot the marker bullet into the blue golem you're heading to now. That's your external collaborator. Ultimately, you take confidential information from the depths and you go back to him, and this is the end of the operation."

"Yes."

Almost at the same time as Sho's reply, a blue-painted golem appears before him. Besides, Sho made a gun shape with his fingers and ejected a marker bullet.

'Good. I checked the marker. The infiltration route comes from the roof. First, discover an indoor collaborator. The collaborator notes it in blue over his head. Confidential information means he knows where he is. "

To the words of the man in the technical squad, Sho looks up at the building in front of him. The scale had changed only slightly since sunset, with four floors, and the height of each floor was even higher, and the entire building was even wider.

While the Sunset exam was based on rescue training from bandits, Sho's exam was based on infiltration work inside enemy buildings. The breadth came from the difference.

There is no choice but to conduct some military training. 'Cause we're developing stuff here that's supposed to be military. Therefore, the contents of the test on board the test area were better than the military.

'Then use the anchor to climb to the roof first. Or use gloves and shoes, but good. I'll take care of that.'

"Yes."

Upon instruction from the technician man, Sho lowers his headgear and sets up a hook shot worn on his left arm. This time, it is assumed that infiltration operations within the military territory will be carried out, so they will exchange information at all times.

Well, at the same time, we need to monitor the equipment, and we might have instructions to stop it. Depending on the timing, some devices I want you to use. I needed an exchange.

Incidentally, it wasn't just the hierarchy, width, etc. that changed the building. It had changed slightly in appearance, and there was a terrace on the fourth floor part. Sho is after the roof above it.

"Uh... hook shot aiming at this... sure, if it was blue, you could've punched it in... yellow... possibly hooked, or..."

Sho lifts the aim slightly up from the roof. Naturally, but not always. Because you could have found out when you stabbed him. Then I'll hook it up and go up, because I'll be able to take it into account enough.

"... no, there's no chance... then, uh... change of mode, with a snag"

Sho changes the hook part of the hook shot to a sticky type of hook that Kate uses, considering that there is no chance of anything happening. This one is a demonic prop, so I could easily change the hook, so it was also mounted on a simple model held by Sho. It is easy to switch with one switch, so there is no need for difficult operation.

"Uh... up a little bit..."

Sho again aiming slightly above the rooftop, pushing in a switch separate from the mode change of the hook and ejecting the hook.

Then, the hook flies up, along with the little noise of shrugging. So, Karan, the hook settled on the roof, sounding so small that he could barely hear it, snapped to the spot with the power of the magic prop.

"... good. Looks like you can go."

When Xiang Hagu, and pull the wire to see if it is properly glued, he presses the same switch as the ejection and now pulls it back. Sho's body then rises upwards.

As such, Sho does not run on his own feet, but merely matches the wire winding. For once, the footsteps seem to be a material that can be erased, but not until the vibration that kicked the wall. I didn't want the enemy to notice me from there.

'You've arrived on the roof. Come indoors next time. "

"Yes."

When Xiang gets down on the roof and collects the hook, he removes his favorite reconnaissance magic prop from the trinket compartment attached to the belt area without standing up. It was used when checking the tip of the bend, when I didn't want to show my face, etc. So, naturally, the terrace is on the fourth floor.

"Enemy Shadow... 1... 2..."

"I'll leave you to do what you do."

"... yes..."

Sho's viewed terrace was a structure close to the aerial garden. There was a hedge of people's hips, and the view seemed pretty good. There, there were two Golems patrolling.

"If you use anesthesia, your enemies will find out... if it's a game, there's nothing abnormal about sleeping, so... reality doesn't work..."

Naturally, everyone feels uncomfortable if a sudden drowsiness strikes them and they coma. Even if you were in a coma until the end of the day, no one would ever question that.

Moreover, since this is magic, there was also a separation of effect time of at most exactly 10 minutes. It would be good as an emergency, but it would be better not to use it.

"Well, it's... Magazine... then, it wasn't. With acoustic bullets, uh... certainly with sound choices here... select pebbles. Aim to... keep it on that terrace railing."

The golems are said to perform as well as people, so Sho decides to disguise the pebbles to the extent that they have flown in the wind, putting his right hand in the shape of a gun. Then, aligning the aiming to the edge of the terrace, he pushed the switch on his armor.

Then, from the middle finger of Sho's right hand, a tiny, colorless, transparent demon bullet that only emits sound is ejected. When it crashes into the edge of the terrace exactly as it was aimed, a tiny, but slightly louder, noise echoes in the quiet terrace like a pebble smashed into it called teasing.

"Good, we both moved... within the moment..."

Sho lands on the terrace, sideways with two golems drawn to the sound and headed for confirmation. Sho then slowly, but quickly, opens the door that leads indoors.

Then start the stealth using a switch attached to the part of the belt to get down to the ground and run through the hallway all at once. He thought about the effect time and made it after landing.

There are patrol golems on the road, but they're going to pass by without stopping. Starting stealth, but cheap behavior was strictly forbidden.

"Insiders are standing by in a southwest room upstairs. Meet me there. But I don't know what room you're in. Approach with stealth and check the blue dots over your head. If you are concerned about stealth driving time, use the sonar to make sure there are no enemies in the room, then take a short pause in the room. Can you unlock it? I'm not dealing with that much."

"Yes."

Sho ran down the stairs opposite the entrance to and exit from the terrace to the second floor at once, but once he decided to enter the small pause, he used the sonar on his right hand to spot one of the empty rooms, make sure there was no golem in sight, and turned off the stealth.

"Phew... this, don't steam..."

At the same time as turning off the stealth, Sho lowered his mask and exhaled heavily. He kept his voice from leaking, so he kept it completely close to his face.

As a result, the ventilation was not very good due to structural problems and it became steamy. It was also designed to ensure ventilation, but after a long period of time, it is impossible to do so perfectly. I had no choice but to give up. As a result, I decided to take a break for about 3 minutes, including a short pause.

"Good... the hallway is... yeah. You're over there."

When Xiang raises his mask again, he opens the door slightly and peeks into the hallway using his favorite magic prop, just like when he was on the roof. Apparently, the patrol golem was lucky enough to point in a different direction from Sho, so Sho instantly starts stealth and jumps out into the hallway. And at the same time, he ran all the way through the aisle to the southwest of the building.

"Sonar, on... is there a golem in the southwest room... three? One is not moving..."

'I guess it's not moving, because I'm asleep. This is a night setup. Some of them are asleep. "

"I see..."

Sho snorts at the information from the tech squad man, two of the three were moving, but one was not moving at all. Moreover, it stopped a little higher than the ground. If you integrate the information, it would be reasonable to assume that you are asleep.

"... then do you want to be there first"

'What do you mean?

"No, let's get the drive time back to full first, and... if it doesn't ring, it won't wake up, maybe"

'I see. You're a prude. Good idea.'

When I heard Sho's thoughts, the man in the technical squad nodded. Within the moving golem, there's a 50% chance around. After thinking about it, I guess it is. Sho then first enters the room of the immobile Golem and releases the stealth.

Then I'll check the top of the head of the golem using my favorite demonic props. Apparently, he was lucky to have his head on this side. I was able to confirm that there was nothing on my head.

"Next... go in order"

Sho, who once again recovered the stealth driving time to full capacity, again follows the same procedure into the hallway and enters the next room. Naturally, the stealth remains activated.

Sho then used his gloves and shoes to snap into the ceiling. Because if it was the enemy that was moving around, they would find it. He then moves cleverly while sticking to the ceiling to check the top of the golem's head.

"... isn't there? So this is off, too, huh?"

Here too, it was off. If so, the last one is around. When he said it was just a performance test on a boulder, the enemy caught an insider in trouble or moved somewhere, he didn't have to do it, and he didn't intend to.

So Sho immediately goes down to the floor and secretly follows that room to the next room and sticks to the ceiling again. There was a golem with a blue dot on its head.

"Good."

When Xiang releases the stealth, he receives a map with directions from the Golem to the keys and confidential information entering the room with the confidential information. This puts me in a classified compartment on the lowest level.

"You got the keys, right? Then run all the way down to the basement later. The door is supposed to be open by the golem, so now you don't have to worry about the outside. Even so, don't forget the stealth. '

"Yes."

Sho asks the golem to open the door when he restores stealth driving time to full capacity again. Now the patrol golem was pointing this way, but because the insider golem appeared through the door, the patrol will resume without concern.

"Good. Then run through it all at once"

Sho goes back down the road where he came again through the side of the patrol golem and runs down the stairs. And as it was, he went through the first floor at once, down to the basement floor, and ran straight through the aisle at once, reaching in front of the locked door at its deepest point. As such, Sho punctures the door when he confirms that there is no patrol golem around him.

"Good."

"Good. Then retrieve the material inside and get out. Escape is anywhere."

"Yes."

Xiang, who entered the room, turns off the stealth three times. There was also a bear stuffed animal.

"This... what am I supposed to do...?

"Whatever you want. You can decorate the room, or you can give it to someone appropriately. It's a shooting prize for the other festival. I'm glad I dropped it, but I don't want my daughter to do this, either."

"Yeah..."

I mean, I don't need it. I don't even need Sho if they say so. but for now it is Sho's purpose to bring this back.

So when Sho puts the stuffed animal in the sachet, he starts stealth again and returns to the way he came and goes outside through the entrance and exit of the building. He then moved a little further and released the stealth and presented the stuffed animal to the golem, which was painted blue.

"This is it, okay?

"Oops, the exam is over. Now that I know what the problem is, please remove the magic prop. I'll go get it. '

"Yes."

Sho, who received the words of a man from the technical squad, removes the demonic props he was equipped with. Sho's exam thus left little trace, and it was over.
