Then three days.

The red ospreys sneaked into the residence of the Dukes of Nilesteria. Discipline A red osprez remembers the setup while looking at a corner of the vast site where a small village would fit, a distant place called the duke's mansion.

Daytime It would be easier for a man in the mansion to sneak in during the night, without having to bother to attack. During the day, there are many people who are involved in security, and they must also appear. The risk rises by that much.

However, if that was a strong request from the client, the story was different. Hands-on The raid is planned with knowledge of how much money was accumulated and the danger of losing organization. Perhaps the client wants to let the public know that the Duke was attacked.

However, red osprey, who is only a terminal member, has no way of confirming it. It simply does the job given.

The role given to the red osprey was "watch." Regardless of the success or failure of the raid, the highest priority is to see what happened and what the consequences were and report it to the organization. The red osprey does not participate in the raid. Her highest priority was to be able to see everything from a distance away from her peers, and bring back the report without contacting her enemies or allies.

(It's about time)

As previously discussed, the organization's colleagues are positioned around the training area.

The red osprey turns his eyes to the center of the training ground. Two people appeared in front of my eyes.

Iris One girl with colored hair. She is the target Duke. It is a black-haired boy who confronts it. Probably that is a mercenary called a thousand-sword magician. Beside it is a beast that is over a meter long and wrapped in a golden body.

(What's that? Pet—it's too big?)

The red osprey frowns on the uncertainty that has appeared here.

Only one of them was in the center of the yard. Other servants and servants are settled away, perhaps at rest. There are several escorts around the yard, but conversely, once the box has been breached, there is only one mercenary on the Duke's side.

Normally, a mercenary with two names, such as a thousand swordswoman, would not be attacked in this situation where it was right next to the target. But if you say the opposite, even if you hold down the magician of the thousand swords, there is only one helpless duke.

The other escorts are dispersed at a distance, so it takes time for them to rush. Even if it's as short as a few tens of seconds, it's enough time to push the blade to the Duke. It won't be that difficult if you get involved in the organization.

Sneaking into the duke's house itself is inherently quite difficult. However, speaking only for this time, it was easy for several servants to connect here. No matter how loyal to the duke, they will not be able to go against them if they take their family hostage.

I don't think it is poor. There are people who are so important that they are taken hostage. This is because Red Osprey feels happy enough.

(it's time)

A predetermined time comes. The red osprey, which had been watching in a distant winding to avoid being discovered until then, is approaching, refusing to look closely at the battle.

Nagakan A spectacle where sunlight from the sun does not enter. Friends begin to move to tear it.

Suddenly, a man wearing a mask from one corner of the training area appeared.

The assassins, nine of them, rushed down to the Duke's daughter and the magician of the Thousand Swords, without any questions. The guards in the immediate vicinity immediately noticed the anomaly, but the guards on the other side of the large yard seem to have yet to understand what has happened.

Then the two who stand in the center of the training area-.

(Noticed?)

The Thousand Swordsman was looking in the direction the thug came. The Duke's daughter is holding himself with a wooden sword, perhaps receiving a warning from a thousand swordsman.

But the assassins do not stop. Hesitate In this period, there is no benefit.

The escorts who have noticed the thug are rushing to rush to the Duke, but it is too late.

The thugs, who have reached 50 meters from the Duke's daughter, take out ore that fits in the palm of their hand and throw it away. Flame The next moment, the explosion bursts with vivid emission.

New flames were created one after another without waiting for the convergence. Mt. Mine It's as if you imagine the appearance of "", which always creates fire deep inside the Canobis Mountains.

The brewery was no longer in sight due to the exploding blast and the rising smoke.

It was a relic called "burning magic stone" that was used to generate one explosive flame. Retrogestones can bring out the same effect as attack magic even for humans who can not use magic, but it is said that the production is even in the times of ancient civilizations and myths, and now it is newly created I can't do anything.

As a result, magic stones are rarely traded at high prices. In particular, if it is a powerful stone comparable to advanced magic, it is not the amount that ordinary people can reach out. Purgatory Flame "The Burning Magic Stone" produces power equivalent to the advanced magic "", and it is said that one magic stone would be enough for a royal capital of a family of four to live for two years. It was too luxurious to run out in an instant.

That's a total of thirty. This is exactly the number of Red Osprey's companions firing at the Duke's daughters.

This was the reason why the assault was carried out during the day, despite the existence of a mighty magician with a thousand swords. The amount of money spent on magic stones would only make them amazed, but even so, the client would have wanted to harm the duke.

With such a large number and power, even if the opponent is a magician with a thousand swords, there should be no one. The duke's daughter, who has no way to protect herself, was the decision of "Uraitori".

Of course, we cannot rely on such uncertain methods alone. Even if the client's aim was not to have the Duke's daughter attend the garden party a few days later, as the "Dive Swallows" said, the order issued by the organization is "Assassination of the Duke's Daughter." It was only after confirming the charred Duke's body that he had stripped off one of the ornaments from the body and brought it home.

The explosion ceases and the sand smoke subsides. Nine shadows rushed through it.

As planned, two shadows head for the Duke's daughter. He checks the Duke's body and stabs him if he has a breath.

The role of the remaining seven is dealing with the magician of the Senken. If a thousand swordswoman was alive, its restraint and restraint were the assigned roles. But the next time she sees an incredible sight.

A friend who suddenly blows away.

"Enclose!"

The next thing I heard was the voice of "Bear Threading" instructing my friends. Friends scattered in a circle immediately. A black-haired boy stood unharmed in the center.

(Stupid!)

Unintentionally, the red osprey was almost vocal.

The power of Burning Magic Stone, comparable to advanced magic, is extraordinary. After eating it for thirty times, it was completely intact and anything surprising.

Beside them, there is also the duke's daughter holding the wooden sword intact. Did she protect herself as well as her Duke from the explosion?

Cold sweat flows on the back of the red osprey. The companions surrounding the Thousand Swordsman will feel the same.

But we can't be glaring forever. In this situation, time is the enemy of the red osprey.

"Lady!"

The escorts scattered around the training area rush to the Duke's daughter. It also meant that the assassins were being surrounded by enemies.

"Kakeru!"

The assassins fly as if they were played by the short command of "Bear Threading".

No matter how famous a sorcerer is, it will not be possible to deal with it if several people attack one after another in a short distance. The sword magic that a black-haired boy manipulates can be effective at close range, but he has only one wooden sword. The servants had confirmed that none of the mercenaries could bring seriously into the duke's premises, and that they deposited all their swords every time they entered and left the duke's house.

A magician can't cope with an assassin with a single wooden sword. That's why they launched a daylight raid, despite the fact that the opponent was a well-known mercenary.

Nevertheless.

(Why a person can cut with a wooden sword !?)

The red osprey's eyes are opened astonishingly. A thousand sword sorcerers lightly attacked at the same time and, in a swing, slashed one of the assassins. The slashed thug collapses while squirting fresh blood from the body.

Red osprey felt an upset running among the assassins surrounding the sorcerer.

A magician who assassinates assaulting one after another with skillful sword judgment. The sword line that does not make you feel that gap is not so much as a magician's defense.

However, the assassins facing each other are skilled. As originally planned, two assassins aimed at the Duke's daughter. The order is fulfilled if the surviving thugs hold down the Thousand Swordsman and kill the Duke's daughter. Nothing is to defeat the magician.

But again, an unexpected scene appears in the eyes of the red osprey. The next moment the golden beast, who was waiting for her daughter, bite into the arm of the assassin protruding the dagger and stopped moving. The young lady put out a sharp thrust with a wooden sword and repelled the assassin.

(Tough)

Looking at the situation objectively from a distance, Red Osprey realizes the failure of the raid.

Of the nine assassins already, four have been defeated by sorcerers and one by the Duke and the golden beast. At last, the magician finally defeated the coordinator, "Bear Threading", and the remaining three seemed to decide to withdraw.

When the "burning magic stone", which was left for retreat to the body of a fellow defeated by the Duke's daughter, is smashed, it is scattered in three directions by the blast. The escorting escorts may block the way, but they are not the ones to struggle.

(Do those nine people fail? ...)

The moment the three survivors scattered, the red ospresto quickly fled and fled the grounds of the Duke's mansion.
