The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

~ Side rheuma ~

Time flies fast, two weeks quickly after the rescue of the missing.

And I'm on my way to the Duke's house to greet Mr. Serge, so I'm on my way to the city of Gaunago with Mr. Faye... and I'm going through the dim woods to make a short stop.

"I'm sorry for letting you hang out with me so selfishly."

"No problem yo. Now I'm the store owner's escort. The store owner's old house, a good one to go to if the store owner wants to. Besides, I'm good at walking in these places, so I'm fine, yo."

Indeed, Mr. Faye will lead the way, and follow me without delay. The footsteps are light and you can see that you are used to walking in nature. That's a former assassin.

"It would be helpful if you could say that. Is that what you were trained to do after all?

"I trained, too, but my country doesn't have as many decent roads as this one. People are easy to get by when there are roads, because instead they make it easier when enemy soldiers invade. I was a pedestrian on the surface, so maybe with a small village, but everywhere except the big city it was like this yo"

Really... Think about it, I've never heard of Mr. Faye's country. I've heard of war-torn and dangerous countries, but on the contrary, that's all I know. It's been over six months since I've hired you, and I never even heard of you.

I have decided that the shop staff should have “military service experience", and I may have no choice for the convenience of my previous position...

"If you don't mind, could you just let me talk to you for the part where there's no problem?

"Answer anything, sir? It's a hassle to make it public, but if you're a shopkeeper who already knows you're an assassin, you can talk, sir."

It's too light and upsetting the other way around.

"Isn't it confidential or something?

"There's no country left to say that, so there's nothing wrong with talking, sir. Important information is no longer useful, or what can be used must have been taken away by enemy forces. Then it might be more annoying to pass information on to enemy countries. Well, that's what I want to do, and some of my friends are left in the country."

"Heh..."

Then don't hesitate to say...... all I don't know is what to ask from.

"How much do the shopkeepers know about my country?

"First of all, the Zilmar Empire, a great country located somewhat northeast of the Kingdom of Refaul, where we now live. As I said earlier, civil war is ongoing and dangerous. That's about it."

"Then I'll make it up to you a little more."

Mr. Faye said,

The Zilmar Empire was a long time ago, a country where a nation of people with one immense combat capability was pleased.

A power united by force to unite villages and luxuries in the northern part of our continent.

There are many mysteries due to the lack of historical material indicating the detailed history and the birth, name and founding period of the first emperor.

For that reason, each of the forces divided by the civil unrest tells its own history, claiming that its flag is the blood muscle of the first emperor... kind of a country that seems to have a lot of trouble besides battle.

"When I was in the country... the empire had the" Win family "that ruled the southern part of the country, the“ Tuan family "that ruled the northwest territory, the“ Biguan family "that ruled the northeast territory, and the“ Shu family ”territory that ruled the center of the country, sir. There was another minor feud among them... but the big battle was going on between these four."

"Mr. Faye and Mr. Leelyn, by the way,"

"We were serving the Winn family, yo. The Wynn family had a large number of assassins like us, and used them separately in a number of organizations. An organization that stays in enemy territory for a long time and takes away information, an organization that finds and kills other handlers in major cities...

And then we travel to and from enemy territory to carry information, check it out, and keep information from other organizations. In the Winn family territory, it was my job to finish off the thieves I found. Anyway, there's a lot of movement, so don't get suspicious, all the people in our organization had jobs like pedestrians, sir. "

Really, listening to him as he walks,

"Right, store owner. I, the shopkeeper, was so annoying."

I was told as I suddenly remembered. Would something have mattered?

"We interviewed you when you hired us. I called Leelyn's mother's daughter there. Remember that?

"I remember..."

"That's a lie. Actually, me and Leelyn, we were assigned to the same unit, and it just meant my father and daughter, and there was no blood."

I didn't care more than I thought!

No, it may be important to us in person...

"I've been playing father and daughter for over 10 years, so I'm just like my real daughter, sir. Difficult to explain, but I thought I'd tell the owner I knew what was going on."

Upon further explanation, it appears that the Winn family to which he belonged had collected and educated and used abandoned children in the facility to lose their parents or reduce their mouths in the war, and Mr. Leelyn was one of those children.

"Raising and using children as assassins... may seem awful, but it was normal in my country. The life of a child who couldn't be picked up by it is terrible, yo. I can't live."

She was found talented as an assassin and assigned to Mr. Faye, but the facility seemed to serve as a remedy, although the future path was limited, not only for assassins, but also for soldiers, civilians, etc.

As we talked about it, we became silent.

The dark story made me awkward...... not that

"Mr. Faye."

There's someone out there, sir.

Multiple footprints left on the ground suggested it.

"I'm wearing shoes, and I'm human... and the fact that it hasn't disappeared in the rain that just came down this morning doesn't seem like it's been half a day since we've been through here."

"The number is 10...... 15, too many for hunters, sir. Ki and Bandit Yo. What do we do?"

"… In this direction, if you go any further, there is a river. I might be aiming there. My old house has the same direction."

"You're sleepy."

And I have no trouble at all with my attitude while saying it with my mouth.

Besides, I'm not saying I'll take care of the judgment, but I'll just shut up.

"I think it's one hand to change direction here and head for the streets..."

I was planning on sleeping at the cave house this evening.

Avoid, which means I have to reschedule.

Also, in that case, the sun sets before you go out on the street.

Besides, I lived in this forest.

"If you're a bandit, you want to keep crusading. Can you help me?

"Accepted. Then shop owner, wait here, sir. I'll scout, yo. Because it's not that far away."

... Mr. Faye would be fine. I think it's probably better than me if it's tracking or covert.

At least I couldn't have predicted that I hadn't gotten that far.

I wonder where you judged it from? I'd like to hear it later.

"Please don't push me."

"I've been entrusted"

Say it quickly, or he moves out surprisingly quietly.

The leaves only accompanied the sound of the wind, and disappeared between the trees…

Mr. Faye returned about an hour later.

"Good luck"

When I speak that way, I hear a loud grass behind my back.

"... is it still enough?"

"I ordered the metal slime, which is deforming into a weapon, to teach the weapon… that is, the metal (bait), when it approached me (...). Bandits may be nearby."

"If that's all, you wouldn't know it's“ me, "sir..."

I mean, why are you sneaking up from behind me?

If we hadn't reported the slime, it would have been much later to notice.

I knew it was the source, but I felt like I was just a pro.

Even more so, I think I was quite fortunate to hire you as a caution stick for the store.

"So, how was it?

"The number was 15, Yo, ready for camp in front of a cliff ahead of us. I think it's where the owner said it was. I surrounded the burning fire and heard the meeting from tomorrow. So, definitely a bandit. That's pretty experienced, too, sir."

"Can the two of us take it down?

"The power was four wizards with canes and three with bows. Others are swords, spears and melee weapons. The equipment was beautiful and well balanced. But that seems to be all. Someone extra strong, no yo.

Wait a little longer. If I'm dispersed in total darkness, even one of me could be annihilated. As much as I used to use to train young people. Me and the owner will be enough. We'll be done soon. "

Decided to crusade.

It's this time of year, so let's leave the operation to the professionals.

"Store owner, use this, sir"

That's the "pocket watch" I picked up the other day from the DiNorm Magic Tool Workshop.

Expensive, but “convenient to have”, so I just ordered and handed it out to everyone in the store.

The table is carved with clothes and slime relief, and naturally I have one too.

"First guide me to a position where I have no problem approaching. Then the store owner waits, and now after 15 minutes, he shows himself to the enemy. Same if found. If you get attacked right away, fight, if you can talk...... If you're a store owner, you can come pick up some herbs and say you're a new adventurer who's lost on the road, sir.

In 15 minutes I'll be on the opposite side of the store owner. So while the store owner is distracting the enemy, I'll be from behind. Finish the wizard first. Because my specialty is assassination. I'm not good at fighting honestly, yo. Quickly annihilate when the battle begins, like. "

Copy that.

If we're gonna make the most of each other's strengths, it's probably best for me to be.

If that's the case, we'll get started.

And the operation start time.

"Sorry! Is anyone there!?

"Who!

Show yourself out of the dark as per the operation.

I guess I'm still treading on quite a few occasions around alerting myself to other directions instantly as well as the one I spoke to.

"Kids?"

"What a kid..."

"It's nothing suspicious! I'm lost!

"... an adventurer?

"Yes, make your first request today. I got a request for herb collection, and if I'm strained, I don't know..."

"That was a disaster..."

"Hehe, come here and rest."

As I approached him pretending to be unfamiliar, he seemed to loosen his guard over the appearance of the child (me).

But apparently I'm not willing to show you the way back.

A subtle stretch of their hands grabs the weapon… just before, the four people in the furthest position suddenly collapse.

That looks like when a famous detective in a national cartoon starts deducing.

I turned my attention to my people, and that moment took my life.

Do not kill the momentum of the blade pulled out of the sheath, to the neck of the man who made the aftermath.

"Enemy!?

"Ghoo!?

"-"

Continue pounding into your throat. Horizontal giraffe. In order from a nearby enemy, the target is a deadly blow.

"You kid!

Scratch the protruding knife with a piece of paper and pierce the heart in reverse. Now 4......!

I felt magic. Ahead,

"Vien."

Mr. Faye and several bandits were drunk by the smoke that stood up.

Smoke that won't stand in my way without the wind. The first time you see Mr. Faye's magic?

An unfamiliar chant, but probably the same “smokescreen" as the poisonous attribute magic 'smoke'.

There is no first toxicity at the time the surgeon himself is inside.

However,

"Daaaaaa!?

"Shit!!

"Hii, hii!?

Screaming from the pillars of smoke. And as I was truncating the men crawling out of the smoke... all the noise disappeared less than 30 seconds after the start of the fight. After the smoke appeared clear, the men lying on the ground and the figure of Mr. Faye with a straight knife dripping blood.

It was obvious what happened in the smoke, which was the winner.

"Done, sir, shopkeeper"

"Brilliant."

But when you actually look at your skill...

Isn't your current salary worth this guy's arm?

... We'll talk to Mr. Callum about raising his salary when we get home.
