The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

Finish dismantling the Redhorn Rabbit, hang the moth and head to "Pasta Magic".

The bear-like shopkeeper was very happy to say, "I can't say it's all a treat like the other day, but I'll have plenty of service! I said." Passed to the same box seat as last time.

Not in the kind of store where the two boys would come, of course, so the customers who had already spoken up threw this gaze of intrigue at me. However, I guess there is also the attitude of the store manager, especially that someone could talk to him.

"I'm happy. I can't believe I ate at the store with Hikaru."

With that said, Hikaru recalls. Certainly all the meals have been done so far by the stalls. There were some feelings about how nutritional balance was, but there are so many kinds of surprises, surprises, and stalls in a nutshell. Meat in seafood, fruit in vegetables.

I never felt a shortage in my diet, but eating in a "decent store" may also be necessary in my mind's nutritional balance.

"--That's just great."

"? What?

The look of Lavia eating the first cold hors d 'oeuvres served.

The spine is neat and every knife and fork handled beautifully.

"Because I don't know how to be polite. Well, I have the knowledge."

It's Roland's knowledge.

But knowledge was knowledge, not something that was stained with the body.

"... after all, don't you look like an adventurer?

"Probably."

"Should I collapse a little?

"No. Stay."

You can have adventurers with every trick.

Plus it was a pleasant way to eat with Hikaru watching.

"I'll try, too."

"If you have any knowledge, I'm sure you will soon."

"Yeah, I don't think it's something you'd wear overnight."

Dine while we talk about that.

Different places change your mind, and the conversations that are exchanged are different than usual.

Fun topics ensued about Lavia's favorite meals and fruits, as well as the adventure novel she was reading.

"There you are. --Oh? Long time no see."

But that's where the fun topic ended.

Hikaru glances at the store entrance with the voice of the bear manager.

And groaned.

"Mr. Hikaru. Evening."

Gloria was there.

"Dear Hikaru!

"... uh, good evening"

"I'm here again"

Plus, take Paula, Pier, and Priscilla.

"... what kind of soul dare you?

Two more chairs had been brought to the box seat where Hikaru and Lavia were.

Gloria next to Hikaru and Priscilla next to it.

Paula next to Lavia, Pia next to him.

"Oh. You said the Piers saved Mr. Hikaru's life, so I brought you here to thank you."

As always, Gloria says.

"... you guys"

An unexpectedly cold voice spilled out of Hikaru's mouth.

"I told you not to tell anyone else, didn't I?

I told her not to tell me, but I told Gloria —— and when I realized I couldn't stop her.

The field air froze as soon as possible.

"Sorry!

Paula bows her head deep with her hands against the table.

"It seems Pia has spoken while I go washing my hands..."

"Shh, sorry. Eh! But we can't defeat the Forest Barbarian, can we? If they follow me there... and I'm an Alliance employee, they'll keep it a secret."

"That's right. Hey. I'll keep it a secret. Hey. But why? Mr. Hikaru is an adventurer strong enough to save others. Of course I didn't think I could defeat the Forest Barbarian. It's not a bad story, so why don't you keep it a secret?"

"That's right!

Peer endorses Gloria's words. As Hikaru drifted away, Pier pulled Priscilla to hide behind it.

"... you're not for adventurers. If you stop now."

"Become, why..."

"On request, there will also be things that must be kept secret. That doesn't necessarily mean you're a good person to talk to because you're an Alliance employee. Did you think I could tell you my story because it wasn't a bad one? Or did you think I could tell you because I'm such a child?

"Well, that's not... not true"

"Dear Hikaru! I'm sorry... I'll tell Pia so much from me."

"Sorry, Hikaru. I do think it was a detour."

Paula and Priscilla take it from the side.

Pier is already bright blue and has tears in his eyes.

But Hikaru thought it wasn't something he could forgive. The person who leaked the secret once would leak it twice or three times. That doesn't just put Hikaru in danger. Even Lavia is dangerous.

Lavia across the street is wearing a hat deep in her eyes and rinsing a cup of tea.

"Mr. Hikaru."

Gloria said with a smile —— yes, Gloria is the one who doesn't want to give this information.

"Here's the thing, you're apologizing, and why don't you forgive me? And even Mr. Hikaru is going to increase his Adventurer Rank now, isn't he? If so, inevitably its strength will be passed on to other adventurers and guild officials. Of course, I'm often suspected of how you can make a request in Civilian."

(See, I've put in an exploration)

Hikaru sighed inside.

(Gloria's guess is that I have a special "profession". and defeated the Forest Barbarians with that benefit,)

"It's amazing. They want to send out Forest Barbarian material and give it all to Mr. Hikaru."

"I don't need it. Because it's a lot of money for me."

"-- Really?

"You can't buy a weapon that can kill a Forest Barbarian without that amount of money"

…………

Gloria's eyes narrow only for a moment.

Hikaru's lying.

It is not the benefit of the "profession" that defeated it, but the benefit of the "luxury weapon" —— I want you to mistake it.

Of course, the truth is more of a "soul board" than a "profession," but I definitely don't want this all to be known.

"But well, you guys won't be distracted either. Then I'd like you to eat at this restaurant."

"Well, of course it is!

Peer eats up.

"If you treat me, I'll be a rotten pear. It's disgusting how many times I've been apologized and thanked."

"Wow, okay! —— Store Manager, give me the menu!

The tingling air loosened.

Now Hikaru forgives me —— thought Peer. I'm relieved for now, Priscilla. Besides,

…………

Paula, who brightens up and repairs but leaves an uneasy shade.

But I wasn't willing to follow Hikaru any further.

I could have poked home like this, but I pulled my anger in because I didn't want to cause useless friction and because of that guilt that Forest Barbarian might be one of his own kill-leaked ones.

I just thought this would be the last time I'd have contact with them.

The meal goes on. Pier talks brightly, and Paula rides it. Priscilla was the same, but Gloria was also a good talker. Common topics are only about adventurers, so Gloria's knowledge would have been enormous.

Hikaru and Lavia were enough to join the story from time to time to not be forced to cheer up without being cold. The taste of the food was good, so if you have trouble talking about it, you can talk about the food, so it was easier said than done.

"-- if you say so"

Gloria slapped her hand small, pan.

"A Rank C Adventurer came to Pond the other day."

"C!? Wow!

"Amazing, isn't it? Because C is not an adventurer belonging to Pond."

"What kind of person are you?

Gloria explains a lot to exciting peers.

Must consist of three persons. Having received a request to escort a certain aristocratic lady. And that I failed my mission.

"Disappeared like smoke... the warrant lady was a wizard, or something?

"The magic of space transfer has been studied, but there are no success stories yet. —— What does Mr. Hikaru think?

"Hmm?"

"About the lady."

"That'll be easy"

Easy, Paula and the others look intrigued by the word. Gloria's eyes glow. Lavia is staring at us again, too.

Lavia, I've seen too much. A little more mundane.

"We got three adventurers. I'm guessing he had a double request from another nobleman."

"... the M.O. is too crude for you. Hi. They went straight to Wang Du and reported," Gone Like Smoke, "right?

"If that's what you're trying to make me think it is, how about it? They are Adventurer Rank C. Nobody thinks they're too childish to confess."

"I see..."

"Truth is usually simple."

"So how about this one?

Gloria talked about the Knight East being attacked.

On the same day, the location was also close to the scene of the kidnapping of the young lady.

It was Paula who surprised me.

"Are you a bandit defeating the knight one-on-one? That's amazing."

"That's what's gonna happen."

Gloria also affirmed and nodded, so Hikaru pinched his doubts.

"How strong is a knight?

"Oh. Does Mr. Hikaru want to fight the Knight?

"No... I don't know, something stronger than an adventurer, I simply doubt it"

"That's right. I think even a knight apprentice has about Adventurer Rank E. Although, of course, it's just simple combat power. Adventurers naturally have more expertise in working with diverse talent and in dungeon offense."

"If the apprentice is E, he says he's a general knight. Where's Rank D?

"Yes, of course, the knights are different, just as the adventurer's grain isn't there."

"Hmm......"

Hikaru thinks.

"1-2" in [Armed Proficiency] is a place called Knight Apprentice, Adventurer Rank E.

"3" is Knight, Adventurer Rank D.

"Are you the strongest Knights leader?"

"It's nicknamed" Swordhawk "and" Sword Saint, "so it's also strong. I also hear you won a mock fight with Adventurer Rank B or A. It feels like there's a knight captain under the knighthood captain, and there's a general knight under there, and there's a knight apprentice."

"4" was the Knight Captain, Adventurer Rank C —— Nogusa was also "4".

"5" is the Knight Commander? Adventurer Rank B?

"6" was —— Unken was "6" with "Little Sword".

"How strong is Mr. Unken?

"... Mr. Unken, is it? Is he strong?

"Uh, if you don't know, fine"

"Mr. Hikaru - tell me about it"

He grabs my arm and presses my chest.

... It was quite an elastic chest.

It was Hikaru trying to look as fine as possible, but I can't look you in the eye because I feel something like cold air drifting from my seat across the street.

(Because it's not cheating or anything! Because that's not what it is! Calm down, Lavia!

Did it work that I remembered with my heart, and suddenly the cold air draws.

"Uh... because my hips aren't mundane. And he's the guild master, isn't he? It's refreshing to think that an awesome adventurer will become an employee of the Alliance and become an Alliance Master for some reason."

"Heh. I had no idea Mr. Unken was strong."

This is a face you really don't know, Hikaru thought.

Then abruptly Gloria says.

"Yes, the knight East said it was a child who defeated him."

Uh? And, uh? And I didn't raise my voice.

Pia, Paula, and Priscilla thought of the same person when they heard "the child who defeats the knight" --

"I have such an amazing child. I'd like to see it."

I assumed the question of this hand would come. Hikaru was able to react without changing his mind at all.

"Don't you notice Mr. Hikaru?

"No. Wouldn't it stand out if you were a child so strong?

"Of course, I think it's quite remarkable."

"And if you don't even know the officials of the Adventurer Guild... not the adventurers. Are you a bandit, after all, or a tall adult?

"That's right... Mr. Unken also said it would be more likely that way"

"What about the shorter species?

"The Hobbits and Mannorms are short, but they're low in numbers at any rate."

"It is. Either way, you have to be careful what you see in the streets."

"Yeah... but I'm sorry about the knight, too."

I'm sorry, Hikaru thought it was strange to say that.

If you were attacked and fought and lost, the knight is just immature.

"Is there anything more than that? Besides losing to children."

"Yes... the child missed the knight. I won't take it to my life. But you don't know anything about knights."

"What do you mean? Not only me, but Paula and the others don't know anything about knights."

Yeah, yeah, and Paula and the others nod.

"If you lose every bandit, the knight's name is broken, so the death penalty will be confirmed."

"... what?

"The bandit boy saved his life, but eventually the knight dies -- that's a pity, right?"

Hikaru was unable to utter a word for a little while.

Then when the topic changed, Pia, Paula and Priscilla also returned to the conversation.

That's how the meeting at "Pasta Magic" ended. As promised, the peers paid for it.

"Well, here we are."

"Thank you very much."

Hikaru and Lavia bowed their heads. In front of the store, just three Paulas, Gloria and I broke up because we were in different directions.

After a short walk and breaking the road —— Hikaru held Lavia's hand and activated "mass blockade".

"Hikaru?"

"Tail Gloria"

"-- I knew you suspected that guy, Hikaru?

"Did Lavia feel the same way? I doubt it... well, I'm considering it as one of the possibilities, and I don't know if I'm trying to find my secret with Dashi, but I'm not a nasty opponent."

"What's the purpose of following him?

"I want to know who's behind Gloria. As soon as I gather the information, I'm supposed to deliver it, or I'm supposed to file a report."

"Maybe I just keep in touch regularly."

"Of course. Still, you'll make some kind of note. If nothing -- she just explored me in her own hobby."

"... a bad taste."

(Though I have the ability to have more bad tastes than that)

Gloria was lightly sober, but firm underfoot. No, my gait may be a little light. He seems to be feeling well drunk.

She left "Pasta Magic" and walked about 10 minutes, coming to the collective home.

3 floors. There is one common entrance, and climbing up the inner stairs is how you get to each room.

All facing the front street were windows. There's probably a balcony on the back because there's no place to dry the laundry or anything.

♪

When you open the joint front door to the intersection of your nose, close the door behind your back. There was no gap for Hikaru to enter. The key is also put on right away.

Gloria climbed the stairs.

"What are we going to do?

"Shh."

Hikaru listens to the door.

Footsteps climbing stairs —— long. Looks like they're headed up to the third floor.

"Let's go backwards"

The back of the building had become a little square.

There are giant trees, one well. There was a long sushi around the well. Is it for a well side meeting?

There is also a common thread. The neighbors are able to relax.

Even though it was 9: 00 at night, it was quiet.

"-- that room?"

I should say, this one had a balcony.

A slight magic light lit the first room on the third floor.

I didn't put the rain door down. Just curtains on glass doors.

"Lavia stay here."

"What are we going to do?

"Climb"

Hikaru ran over and jumped toward the balcony upstairs under a lit window.

I guess the fingertips managed to get caught thanks to one swing at "instantaneous force".

And I managed to pull myself up just by my fingertips, thanks also to one swing at "muscle strength".

Jump from the railing on the balcony upstairs and now climb to the third floor.

"Ha, ha, ha..."

I could climb it but I haven't shaken it to "stamina" so it's hard to breathe to death. I also have 1 extra point this evening because my soul rank is up. Makes me want to wave a point on "natural resilience" or "stamina" but I put up with it a lot. I don't know what I'm going to need, and as a hical, I'd like to leave a point for some "ideal" skill set.

Even if his breath gets rough, he won't be noticed by his opponent thanks to his "hidden" skills and "Hidden God: The Dark One".

Hikaru crouches in on the balcony and glances inside over the lace curtain.

!?

I doubted my eyes.

I never expected this (...) to happen.

Write a secret book to someone, then you still know.

Someone is waiting for Gloria and listens to the report, then I know that too.

It wasn't either of them.

There was only Gloria in the room.

That Gloria took off her clothes.

Revealing rich breasts, limp waist to lumbar puffiness —— couches were invisible under the heso in the way. You would have seen it if you stood up, but just before that, Gloria walks into the next room.

Swinging chest and long hair.

Her shapely ass drifted away.

Duh.

I heard a noise. Probably stuck in bed.

…………

Look, shit.

What do I do, this......

You can't sleep unless Gloria is "naked." You can't even know that.

Bakubaku and his heart bounce. Calm down, calm down! —— I'm too shocked to get my normal mind back.

Doesn't Gloria have a thick line that it's just a hobby that made a guess and put Hikaru through a guided interrogation?

Then Hikaru simply glanced at Gloria's nakedness.

A tremendous guilt springing up.

(Should I check for any notes or documents...?

There's no key on the outside of the balcony to sneak in.

Besides, if you go inside, you'll meet Gloria naked in bed.

(... go back. There are other things to do)

There's nothing more I can do. If you break down the window, you'll find you snuck in, and you don't have the skills to open the key to the front door of the table.

(If you can't open the key even if it's "hidden" excellent, you might not be able to perform enough......)

Let's figure something out---

"Hikaru"

Down came Lavia.

"... what happened?

"Gloria looks like she went to bed right away. So far, that's just her hobby--"

"That's all?"

"Huh? What?

"... if that's all, fine"

It was dull.

I kept my mouth shut that I wouldn't have to say anything extra, but I don't know, guilt sprouts up over here...

Hikaru, get back to the hotel.

"Yeah —— but could Lavia sleep first? I'll take you to your room."

"What..."

Hikaru exhaled small.

"I'm curious that the knight is going to die. I want to go see how East is doing."
