The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

Hikaru's question stops Jill's hand, who was cutting the pie with a knife.

"... where did you hear that from?

"I heard you standing talkin '"

"No, no, no. It can't be! As I said before, this is a pretty high level of confidentiality!?"

"So the little girl is the killer, right?

————

Now it was Jill's mouth that popped open and the words stopped.

"... what do you think?

"Yes, I can't tell you. Atashi does that."

"Look, it's a menu. What do you want?

"There are good and bad things to say. It's a breach of confidentiality, so no more..."

"You think I'm going to abuse what I've heard?

"Sorry......"

"... No, this way. This way of saying it was cowardly. You are answering my question in good faith. But it's not good for you to be at a disadvantage because of that."

…………

Now, what to do —— Hikaru thinks as he deposits his body on his back.

(If I can't hear any more, I guess I'll have to break into the mansion...)

Then Jill said,

"... hey, how do you want to know that? Sure, this is big news, but you wouldn't normally be interested. I don't know if the Count was killed."

"It's --"

"Hey, Hikaru. You're some bong bong, running away from home with momentum, doing adventurers to live... right? Atashi's guess, isn't it wrong?

"... right. That's pretty much it. I have no other way to live."

"I don't have a home to go home to" if you keep saying so.

"What does my parents have to do with Count Morgustadt?

"No, there isn't."

"Then why do you care so much?

You screwed up, Hikaru bites his lips inside.

Apparently, Count Morgustadt's case was top-secret than Hikaru had imagined.

"A friend of mine... has been badly hit"

"... friends?

"Oh. I can tell you Count Morgustadt persecuted me. So I want to know if he's dead and what do you think?"

————

Jill will look at this one.

Hikaru also tries to look back on her and thinks for a moment.

Sure, lying humans have two patterns of reaction, one doesn't look at them at all, they can't see their faces. The other looks clearly into the other person's eyes as "Let's Make Believe".

Hiraki looked Jill in the eye and nodded small, then tried to drink the water.

"... Yeah, I don't feel malicious about what Hikaru says"

With that said, Jill said something like "sensitive to the emotions behind people," Hikaru recalls.

I made a performance that I didn't consciously lie about, but I might not have had to.

"It's going to be public anyway, so can I just say this... Three days later, a person will be escorted to the King's Capital. That's all I have left."

Jill said sighingly.

("A Person"... the killer, huh? You're that girl. And three days later —— that the Adventurer Alliance knows this information)

"No way, an adventurer hits a convoy assignment? Why --"

Jill just says, "I won't say any more," and he eats pie when he puffs.

Cut cleverly into bite-sized pieces with a knife to carry to the mouth.

The movement is also very smooth and artisanal.

(There were knights in the Count's residence. A knight is much more graceful than a common soldier. Why would an adventurer escort them when they're there?... This is still going to have something behind it)

While doing so, "Twin Tornado Juice" was carried.

A metal vessel, shaped like a round melon.

Straw is stabbed there -- 2 bottles.

"Yes."

"... hmm?

"Yes, sir."

"No, this, huh? Did you stab him with two straws?

"That's right. Twin, right?

"No, no, no, no."

A couple drinks! He's the one the dumb couple drinks!

Is Jill ashamed of herself? Her cheeks are red.

"I told you. I wanted to try Atashi, but I didn't have anyone to drink it with!

"That's all they say, so you can pick any guy you want, right?

He said, "Oh, my God, they're so mean!

"Oh, you mean..."

Hikaru is convinced.

Do I look harmless to humans and animals?

"Okay. Then let's drink. Just drink first. I'll drink when you're tired."

…………

"... you don't want to have a drink with me--"

"Oh, that's not true, is it? What a prick!

Jill tried to hold him in and started drinking "Twin Tornado Juice".

"Ha - yummy. Not at all!"

She ended up drinking it all by herself, saying things like that.

Remaining: 1,430 guillans (+7,500 + alpha)

That night —— the time slot that the date should also change.

It was the boy in black up and down who appeared in front of Count Morgustadt's mansion —— Hikaru.

I left the cape because it could get caught or disturbed.

It just has something on its face that hasn't happened before.

"Noodles".

Faces made of thin metal plates were sold to the Temple.

It follows the popular statues of "Sun God," "Martial God," and "Business God," only 10 guillans.

Hikaru bought it from the "Sun God," something with a thin brow flowing beside it on a line of definite jaws. It also fits Hikaru's face because the sculpture is not deep.

Blunt silver with empty eyes and nose area. Hikaru also drilled an air hole in his mouth.

"Well... we'll have to go from the front after all."

Hikaru was going to save the girl.

To Hikaru, who successfully assassinated Morgstadt, the girl showed us the way out. I don't know why.

"... it doesn't bother me to ask you to be a murderer instead of me."

I have no idea what's going on behind it. I wanted to investigate, but I don't have any connections to Hikaru. If you want me to speak to the guards directly, they'll just suspect you.

As a matter of fact, up to this hour, I've snuck into a guard's quarters in the city and listened.

But empty swings.

Their whole topic was "booze," "bacci," "woman," and "boss stupidity."

"My feet are like sticks..."

Hikaru was feeling tired because he did the unfamiliar thing of walking around for a day.

I just want to shake a point on "stamina" or "muscle mass" on my soul board, but so far I have zero points.

It wasn't just "zero harvest again" either.

The girl was not in the custody of what we call a police mechanism in Japan - the Security Investigation Agency. I wasn't even in the guard's quarters.

Perhaps the girl is in the Count's residence.

The front gate is closed but the access door is not locked. The gatekeeper at the main entrance doesn't notice Hikaru passing by at all.

The last time I came, it was raining.

Now, blue —— I feel pretty blue compared to Earth, the moon illuminating the mansion.

"Mmm."

On the front entrance door, there was a key. I let you in from here last time.

"... that's right. There was an assassination. The level of security must be rising."

Hikaru tries.

"But even the 'secret' level over here is going up, right?

Already the guild card's "occupation" is "Hidden God: The Dark One".

Hikaru circles the building.

The windows are fitted with wood doors. I'll have to take this off if I have to. I need to break the window glass because the window glass inside would be something with a simple candle hanging on it.

I don't want to leave a trace if I can --

"Is that...?

What Hikaru saw was a trick behind his back.

That's where it opens up.

A strip of light leaking from inside illuminates slightly the two men and women standing by the hand.

"-- Will they go already...? --"

"-- When the mission is over, we must return to the King's Capital --"

"--lonely --"

"-- I'm sorry. Because I'm sure I'll write to you --"

The man doesn't recognize him better, but he's probably also a knight from the clothes he's wearing and the sword he hung on his hips.

And the woman is a maid.

(... the Count is forcibly employing knights here? That doesn't motivate you either. I don't think that's why you're nagging the maid. That's why they're assassinating the owner of the mansion.)

Walking right next to it, Hikaru opened his hand and slipped inside.

As soon as the door was opened, men and women trembled and fled to darkness because of the fluttering spread of light.

You must have mistaken someone for coming from inside.

Hikaru's appearance should have been there, but it was as if it hadn't just been there in the eyes.

(As always, "Hidden God" is amazing)

Upon entering from a casual angle, there was a warehouse immediately, next door was the kitchen.

It's just not popular with weak lights on.

Hikaru went a long way. I didn't have to worry about the details thanks to my "hidden" skills.

Proceed upstairs and head to Count Morgstadt's room first.

"Mm."

Disappointingly locked.

(this is no good... my skill would be a lot better to remember "unlock" or "untrap" (...) but... you haven't seen that kind of item before)

Either way, I don't have a point.

I'll push my ear against the wall. I can't hear a sound.

I'll make sure there's nobody in the hallway but Hikaru, and I'll knock with Conn.

"... are you there"

I still didn't react.

Hikaru then checks the next room.

It was empty.

But there were signs of people next to it.

(woman)

The moment I walked into the room, I smelled more like perfume.

A woman lies in a gorgeous bed with a canopy.

She has a clear, flashy nose. Sleeping well.

(You're too young to say Countess...)

Rings and necklaces were unmade on the mirror stand.

(Is that your mistress? Or the 2nd Lady...)

I'll take one of the rings. It's dark and I don't know the color, but it has gems that are earlier on Hikaru's thumb.

(It's easy to steal, but these things have feet when you sell them. The more expensive it gets)

When Hikaru decided to "make money first," the rat kid said hello. He also thought about stealing that money against only "evil deputies".

But I concluded that for a number of reasons I couldn't.

One thing is, you can't open the key to the safe.

Two is that precious metals, such as rings, can't be exchanged for stealing because they have legs.

Three is that even if you steal cash, you can't carry a lot of gold because of its weight.

If it's a small amount, you can make money in the Adventurer Guild in the first place, and you don't have to risk stealing.

I can carry tons of gold coins —— I asked Jill, who was drinking "twin tornado juice," if this again had something like a classic "item box" or "dimensional storage," but the answer was:

"I feel like it was a national treasure of some country"

It was to that extent. They're not like they're selling out.

Indeed, if there were, there would be a great revolution in distribution. Something like the "IT revolution" that was Earth should be happening in this world as well. That is, the possibility that this other world would be evolving like SF.

But only the merchants are carrying their luggage in carriages, and the heavy luggage is lifted and lowered using people.

The "soul card" system that the "profession" of the "wisdom god" built is still over-technology.

I don't have the option of stealing.

So I put the ring back and went out into the hallway.

When I checked the other rooms -- there was only one suspicious room.

(It's a book...)

There was a bookshelf on the wall and a ton of books. Most of them are "adventure stories".

The owner of the room would be a teenager depending on the size of the bed and the fancy feel of the interior.

(Is it that girl's room)

When I opened the costume shelf, a familiar pyjama emerged.

(I figured —— wow!?)

From underneath it comes out a striped underwear.

When I closed the shelf, the baton and loud noise rang.

(Yaba)

Hide behind the bed for a small run.

"Is anybody here?

The door to the room opens immediately.

Magic light supplied with lights by magic. Making it oriented to this makes it a flashlight.

The lights illuminate to lick the room.

The lights ran through the hidden Hikaru toe shavings.

"... the book just collapsed"

Speaking as if to himself, the person left.

That knight, Hikaru thought. A knight who was opposed to "making the girl the killer".

Job enthusiasm.

Hikaru left the girl's room.

There was nothing dizzy upstairs, so I went down to the first floor.

Then —— I heard voices that were like talking to each other.

"--You don't think I'm careless at a time like this--"

"--You 're too serious, East--"

That comes from a tactical direction.

It looks like the knight who jumped into the girl's room earlier is blaming him for finding the knight who came back with his maid from victory.

"-- Our mission is still ongoing --"

"-- I have to go home when the mission is over. That's why I'm saying goodbye--"

"-- Don't do it on a mission --"

"--Ok, ok. Because I'm gonna give you all the grip on this security assignment--"

"--Although it would have nothing to do with the handle or anything. And that's not what I'm saying--"

Hikaru explores the ground floor just because if you say so, do it on your own.

But you heard the argument. A few servants wake up and come here.

Hikaru goes to the back of the mansion to spend it in the corner of the room and replace it.

(This looks like a servant's room. Is that a hassle...... hmm?

There was a staircase leading down the aisle.

At the side of that staircase was one of the knights —— that knight who was in the temple with a knight named Serious East —— sitting in the chair.

I was asleep while sitting down.

(This is convenient)

I'm hanging a bunch of keys from my hips.

They tie a ring of metal with five keys in it.

Leaning by the knight, Hikaru tried to untie the leather strings.

(Mmm... what is this, too sturdy. I can't untie it. Where's the leather string leading?

The leather string is intact into the knight's trousers.

…………

I felt hopeless.

I wondered if I had to stick my hand in here.

(Yes, no, maybe the key is open for a moment)

Hikaru goes down the stairs hoping for thin possibilities. Then there was the iron door.

Of course, the key was on.

(Right)

Hikaru goes back up the stairs.

(How do you take it out? Want to pull it hard?... You're gonna wake this up. So, cut the leather string? Not bad. If we can't rescue him today, there's a downside to how much more security we can put in place. And then... mould it with clay, huh? All you have to do is make a key.... How long does it take to build a key? And there were five keys. Tell me to make a key to each other at once, and the vendor will make it without question?

That's when I was thinking about it.

"Hey, wake up. What are you sleeping for?"

A knight who was arguing with East nearly woke up a sleeping knight.

Hikaru hides himself in the shadow of the stairs.

"Hmm? Oh... were you asleep"

"Kuku. East's gonna piss you off, huh?

"Wow... please shut up. Please."

"Ok, ok. Well, how's the lady?

"Oh —— no, you haven't seen it yet this evening."

"Whoa. That's just not a good idea not to check it out."

"Let's go now"

A knight who stood up slowly comes here.

(Eh --)

Oh, that's bloody distracting.

This is not good.

The stairs break to the left once on the way, but it's the main road.

It's narrow and you can't go down side by side.

The punch is the door. There is no place to hide.

I mean —— find out.

(Bad. What do we do? What to do)

Hikaru breaks left down the stairs for now and kills his breath.

"Uh-huh. If I didn't do anything like this, I'd lose my body..."

"You should have come, too. You and your maid have fun exercising at night, huh?

"I don't know... we have wives and children"

This one, this one, and coming down the stairs.

(Screwed up. I shouldn't have gone to see such a trail. That's why they push me. Damn...... no, not if you regret it now. How do we get through here?)

Behind Hikaru's brain, a word rises.

[Assassination] … If the target is unaware of the attack, a correction is made so that the attack is lethal. Up to 3.

(This is a dead end from the person coming down. 'Unnoticed and attacked by opponents' can be...)

Grasp the Shortcuts of Arms.

(Finish the lead with the first machete. Fortunately, the target is clothes, not armor. You should barely even have a voice. Keep hiding in your body and pulling it down this way. The knight behind you won't know what happened. I just came to see how it went again......)

Kill.

And when I thought to my heart, I felt my heart beat faster.

It's not like they're guilty of anything.

Just kill Hikaru because he failed to hide.

"But I thought I was finally done working for Pond..."

"Is that a shame?

anxiety about whether you can do it to yourself.

uncertainty about whether you can do it well.

Guilt of killing irrelevant humans.

"Idiot. I'll blame you"

"Yeah, well, not at all."

With his sweaty hand, he grabbed a short knife.

And three steps.

"Even in the liquor store flashy when I return--"

Go.

"Knight!!"

The moment I jumped out, the woman's voice came down.

"What do you mean!? I just asked Master East! The knights have spoken to the women of the liquor store and sometimes stayed there--"

"Heh!? Oh, yes, no, I wonder what it is?

"Did Master East tell you a lie!? Or is the knight lying?!?"

"Ma, wait, wait, calm down. Let's lower that knife, shall we?

Sounds like an earlier maid.

A knight climbing the stairs with this one.

"Whoa, whoa... two strands found out?

Another knight following it.

(... Gone...)

Hikaru weakened all over his body. I sat down on the spot.

My breath gets rough. Sweat erupts from the body.

(But I can't rest here. be a repetition of the same thing)

Hikaru also climbs the stairs again after munching the body that is about to get fuzzy.

"-- incredible! --"

"--You 're the only one I like, really --"

A maid with a knife in both hands and a knight are talking to each other.

From behind it, a knight with the key walked away —— I guess he left it out of the lock bundle to open the door, putting one key right in the chair to the maid.

(Now)

Hikaru jumped off the stairs and got the key.

No one will notice what it looks like.

Down the stairs. Use the key. Push open the iron door. When it is confirmed that it can be locked from the inside, it is ensured that the cloth spreads that are being used instead of hand tufted are not pinched against the door and closed. I went back up the stairs and put the key to the chair.

"--Don 't swing the knife because it's dangerous --"

"-- come on, it sucks --"

"--Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

It's going to take a while for you to disturb.

Hikaru broke in through the iron door as he went down the stairs.

(uuuuuuuuu...)

It was dangerous.

Hikaru reflected violently. My own nagging. And that you're not ready.

(The possibility of killing innocent people...... this will stick together in the future)

Then what do we do?

Should I be ready to kill you?

(... no. Maybe I won't be able to hold my teeth if I kill someone for no good reason. [M] You'd think "you could kill me" if there was trouble. So I have to do everything I can to make sure I don't kill extra people.)

All possibilities should be considered in advance for this purpose.

We should be as careful as we can in the field.

(All right, let's go)

Change your mind.

(Reflection, let's do it again later. I'm in the middle of something now)

It was a storage replacement warehouse.

I don't know what's in there, the bags and crates and crates are piled up in a mess.

There was a room connected behind it.

Even from the standing position of Hikaru —— there was an iron lattice.

The surface of the iron plaid was engraved with ancient letters, glowing blue and white. It's a magical seal.

It's a barn.

That, too, is so robust.

But the interior of the house was tidy.

Cushioned chair.

The walls are painted and the beds are of better quality than the business hotels where Hikaru stays.

The table is loaded with books —— books for adventure novels.

"... is anybody there?

A girl with blue eyes in her silver hair was there.
