"To? Pond, of the kingdom? Adventurer Guildmaster?

Alice's gaze comes and goes with Hikaru and Unken. As for Hikaru, I am convinced that there can be no difference because I use "soul board" to confirm it. It's the same name, a man-norm with this status, there's no way he's here.

"... of the kingdom?"

Tension all over his body, and Unken hits the hikaru. As a hikaru, I am aware of a slightly lower voice so that I do not find out with my voice.

"Come on? I don't know where I (...) am, but it wouldn't matter?

"How far do you know what's going on over here?"

"The only thing is that the handsome lady there snuck into the Gurguschrut Borderline House, and it exposed and ran away so far."

…………

Unken scowls at Alice. "Hip," Alice said, blurring her face, but turning to Hikaru, who said, "It's not the same story."

"Hey, what I want to know... is why you, the guild master of Pawnsonia, are working for the Empire"

"... what are you gonna do when you know that?"

There will be various hypotheses floating around in Unken's head right now —— who this person in front of him is.

But a lot of people there would have known that Unken was Pond's guild master. Hikaru had an overwhelming advantage in terms of volume of information.

"It's just an interest"

"It's just an interest, you think you're going to risk this? Ha, make me laugh."

"It's not dangerous. If it were me, you two wouldn't be dealing with each other at all."

"It's a lot of confidence, but you really think it's just the two of us here?

Bluff, Hikaru immediately decided. There is no one else in Hikaru's "Magic Detection". You won't be able to grasp if "Magic Block" is more than 3 or if you have a special blocking item, but even Unken has 2 "Magic Block".

"Oh, I think so."

"Stupid --"

"If additional personnel were to come, I'd know."

Unken pounds his tongue. Along with the twinkle, "Do you have 'detection'?"

I guess those who know know "detection" skills like those on Hikaru's Soulboard.

"You're not sweet for the 'profession' you were born with. It's not even a good place to have a kid, is it? Go home."

"I'm not leaving until I hear the answer. You wonder why the man who killed the 'Evil Emperor' Balzard is working for the Empire... Oh my God"

At that moment —— every emotion fell out of Unken's expression.

As for Hikaru, I meant to just camouflage him, but apparently he did. Pond's Adventurer Alliance, receptionist Jill, had guessed.

Fifty years ago, Emperor Balzad of Quimbrand, then known as the "Evil Emperor", was about to invade countries, beginning with the Kingdom of Pawnsonia. But to be assassinated —— no one knows who the assassin is.

"Fuck!? What do you mean?!? Master Kaikai made the emperor --"

That's when. Unken waved the dagger he was holding. towards Alice, the apprentice who was right next to him.

It was an unproductive attack but no futile moves. The blade scratches off Alice's carotid artery all at once —— on the verge, sparks scattered.

Hikaru's thrown pebble hit the sword pattern. The dagger jumped slightly and fell under Unken's feet.

"Huh...?

It's Alice who can't keep up with things. He's got a frightened face. Go there,

"What a mess, get away from me! You almost got killed!!"

"Uh -- Master, why"

"You're determined because they know the secret!

Silently, Unken tries to pick up the dagger again. He means it. I'm serious about getting rid of Alice.

Was that bad information for you to ask? Of course, it won't be something you can pee on. But was it content enough to try to kill a "disciple" for as little reason as Hairy —— I still can't judge Hikaru.

"Don't move, Unken"

Hikaru set up Rivolver. There's probably only one bullet loaded with "dark" magic.

"Take the dagger and I'll kill you"

"Never seen a weapon... but seriously, it seems"

You must have realized from the signs of Hikaru's emission that it was not a threat or anything. Plus Unken has "Intuition" 4.

I let go of my fingers that were touching my dagger, opened my hands and turned to Hikaru.

"... stay away, Manuke Spy"

"Uh, so, but"

"Just hurry up!

"Yes, no!

Earlier, Alice tried to kill me if it wasn't dangerous. I was in a totally laughable situation saving that life right now.

But I don't feel good about being killed for missed lives.

"Come on. That's sweet. I see -- Alice, you guided me."

"Huh!? Chi, no!

Around 10 meters was Alice away, but visibly wolfish. If there's anything I can say, Hikaru just wants to say, "No more secrets." It's too easy to understand. Definitely not for secrecy.

"Well, I don't care if you have a guide or not... kid, what's the point"

"... I told you earlier. If my doubts are resolved, that's fine."

"Ha. It's not about greed.... No, if you want to know the truth, should I say greed"

"You say? You're not gonna tell me?

"Hmm...... I don't mind. It's Alice."

"Yes, no!

Called by Unken, Alice extends her spine pinned.

"If you know what you're going to talk about now, you'll be in a position to sacrifice everything you're going to live for the Empire or be chased from the Empire until you die. Ready?"

"Not good!!"

"Then just disappear. Forget what the kid said earlier —— then I'll forget you too."

"I forgot! I forgot everything! Nothing happened today. Ah!

Alice, who turned her back on the Hikars, escaped as she was stripped. Soon the figure disappears into darkness. Even "Magic Detection" shows that she went away at the shortest distance without a moment of confusion.

"... he can't do this anymore."

"Try to kill me, I say it often"

"How did you stop that earlier? You didn't throw a stone at me, did you? And if I did, I wouldn't be in the realm of divinity beyond masters."

You're right. I just threw it. "Throw" 10, so you can't say anything.

"This is a good story. Why don't you tell me the truth?"

"Not in such a hurry —— Hikaru"

"--Huh?"

Called in his own name, Hikaru was dressed with voices poked at.

"Come on. I don't think so. Don't put upset on your face. When you're fighting for your life, that leads to a huge failure."

I didn't even think Hikaru could say who I was. Probably means Unken camouflaged it too. The part where "Intuition" 4 contributes will also be huge, but still he mouthed the name "Hikaru" first.

"Still a child's body and voice, the powerful so far. You're the only one I can think of. For once, I commend this."

"... thanks for that one"

"Did you crusade Redhorn Rabbit efficiently also thanks to the power to erase the signs and 'detect'"

"There's no fool who talks honestly in his own hands."

"I would have taught you how to dismantle."

"You work for the Alliance Master, right?

Hikaru said, "Not at all mouthless..." etc., but

"Well, good. I'm not Pond's guild master anymore."

"Really?

"I'm going to work for the Empire in earnest, and I've quit. —— If you want to hear it, let me tell you. How Washi killed Emperor Balzad... a blood connected relative"
