A log house built secluded in the mountains. It seems to me that just one mountain hut would just be inhabited by strangers, but with five of the same shapes lined up, it would feel some sort of "purpose" there.

The six men checking the map spread out on the table were wild bandits because of their appearance,

"Any word from the Imperial Capital?

"On time. Ever since His Majesty's assassination attempt, the movement of the emerging nobility has been intense."

"Ku...... those guesses. Have you forgotten that His Majesty was an empire? Are you the Emerging One who tried to make His Majesty a deceased?"

What we were talking about was clearly different from the bandit's.

"You can't motivate the Emerging!

"So we should still go back to the Imperial Capital? Let us consolidate His Majesty's protection."

"No... but our mission has not yet been solved. Right minister, do you realize that the operation is a continuation?

"Ha. The Right Minister also seems to think that he is twitching down the Emerging by the operation of pretending (...) to be our bandit here and attacking the carriage"

"They're all thinking about money. If we run out of loads, and we don't get the money, we'll be ashamed to regret it."

Goddamn it, the laughter that killed my voice filled the room.

"... hmm? Didn't you hear any screaming?

"Isn't it your fault, Captain? Or did the wild dog bite or bite..."

"Caged in the mountains, I feel like I can hear people's things."

"Out of the blue, maybe you've been feeling better. If you go back, you'll realize that your sword's arm is a step up."

"In that case, don't even congratulate me on remembering from His Excellency the Right Minister. He's the one who wants you to master the military."

"Our Royal Metropolitan Guard parade can't beat the Kingsguards..."

"If we wipe out the emerging aristocracy, we will be recognised for its achievements and there may be further promotion of His Excellency the Right Minister"

"I mean, to the Chancellor...?

"That's right. If that happens --"

—— Uhhh.

The six men exchanged their gazes. Now I do hear a scream.

"... I'll see how it goes"

"I'll come with you."

"Please."

"Ha."

"Ha."

Nodding to the captainship, the two bandits - the Royal Metropolitan Guard Parade Soldiers - stepped out of the mountain hut.

I'm staying up late.

Behind the deep woods, only a lily bug and an owl were heard. I mean, it's the same night as usual.

With the doors closed behind their backs, they sneak up to the mountain huts lined up. Bedtime is running out, so naturally the lights are out, and it's quiet.

Approach one of the nearest houses and knock with Concon Con. No reply.

"... are you asleep?

The leading soldier snapped and grabbed the handle of the door. When I pulled and opened it, Gigi and I heard a slight noise in my ear defect.

The interval is the same as in the earlier mountain hut. A bunk bed is lined up to allow space for six people to wake up, even though it is small.

"Become...!?"

What he saw were rolling tables, scattered utensils and sheets, and —— in the center, six soldiers creased with rope and put together.

It's relaxed. Is he dead? No, then I won't tie it with rope. But who, why, do this--

"Ha. Hey, let the captain know about this right away..."

The soldier who looked back noticed that there were no more soldiers who were supposed to be following him right behind.

At that moment, I got goosebumps all over my body.

Someone who tied his people up (...) should naturally still be abandoned.

If, suppose, the captain first said, "Didn't you hear any screaming?" If the word was truly a scream - and then the next scream I heard was heard properly (...) in everyone's ears - doesn't the voice mean that it was getting a little closer?

"Yes, Captain! Captain! Somebody, there's an intruder! This place is dangerous!!"

I screamed as far as my voice could tell, there is a mountain hut about 5 meters away with the captains. If you raise your voice so much, you will naturally hear it.

But there's no sign of the captains coming out as long as they live.

"Ha, captain...?

At that time, Gigi, there was a noise, and the door of your mountain hut opened.

"Captain!! Squad..."

But more than that, I couldn't say.

the body that came out to fall on his back -- because that was the captain he relied on.

The captain no longer moved.

"Ah--"

The soldier finally realized.

He said he was the last one.

"Last in Koits--"

Hikaru rolled beside his companion when he tied up a soldier who had passed out and was spraying bubbles on his own (...) when he opened the door to the mountain hut.

"But why was this soldier losing his mind? I'm even taking a leak..."

Hikaru clenched his neck as he left early enough because of the ammonia smell. Well, I'm glad I saved you the trouble of losing your mind.

The truth is, Hikaru didn't kill any of the soldiers here. It was an easy task to assault and tie the beds up sequentially from the edge, but it was troublesome with a large number of people. I used pills that forced me to sleep by making me smell them, but it was troublesome that they didn't work and I was jumped up.

"I don't know, these people..."

Hikaru worries when he returns to the mountain hut where the captain was. "Bandits" do not attack empty carriages. But naturally I thought there would be a watch, and I kept checking off the streets with "magic detectors" from our midday home.

He found a lookout, and seemed to lurk in the mountains so close to the Inn Town that he encouraged him to work alone at night.

"It obviously sounds like a military official. I had a prediction."

If you come with a "bandit" attacking a cownut that won't be gold if you take it away, your purpose will be limited. How many kownut lovers or the purpose of suffering indirectly by stopping the distribution of kownuts?

Probably the latter —— and Hikaru was treading. If you are such a solid (...) bandit.

I looked lightly, but there were no documents or notes left, and there was no physical evidence. A trained soldier would hardly break his mouth to interrogate.

"I don't know what to do..."

It's hard to carry, and there's no evidence that it's convenient to carry. Hassle to interrogate as well. I just have to leave it when this happens -- I don't sleep well even when I'm drowned here. They attacked the merchants as "bandits," but they just threw away the kownuts (if you ask Lavia, she might say "guilty") and didn't inflict any human damage.

It was when Hikaru was lost.

A new reaction was confirmed to the "magic detection" that was unfolding unconsciously.

The reaction, super fast, looms here --.
