The shadows that came to the loghouse-style mountain hut in the mountains looked around silently.

The clouds hide the moon badly, and the darkness is thick.

Check carefully. Who lurks in the dark? No. Just be quiet, the mountain hut is just silent.

Its appearance, which has pierced the roadless path at the shortest distance, has broken branches and crushed leaf fluids, which are dirty. But she hasn't cut one breath —— she (...) frowned when she opened the door to the nearby mountain hut.

"--These guys are bandit skinned, regular soldiers"

!!

Behind her, who looked back haphazardly, at 5 meters, there should have been no one there when I checked earlier.

"You're not omnipotent, either."

The moonlight shoots in and illuminates a shadow darker than darkness. It is the silver mask that shines white on its face.

"Silverface, it's still you"

"Again, that means you were following me (...), Renamout"

Rank S adventurer Renamut was quickly pulling out his hip short sword. The movement is so sophisticated that Hikaru could be seen at nothing.

"... what are you going to do?

"What, what?

"Are you not even willing to resist?"

Her tone of speech, which was laid back, is nowhere else.

The only thing here is an adventurer with a switch turned on - which is also super first-rate.

"As you can see, I was the one who crusaded the bandits here and tied them all up. But is that to blame? It would rather be praiseworthy. It was just fine. I want you to go back to the Imperial Capital like this--"

"You are under arrest for the murder of His Majesty the Emperor."

"-- What?

Exactly, that was my first ear.

…………

…………

The two stared at each other silently, but it was Renamut who moved first. When she lowered her sword, she returned it to her sheath.

"--… In the meantime, we should exchange information with each other"

"Oh, oh... sounds like it"

Under the moonlight, we were to discuss each other's circumstances.

While explaining the current situation, Hikaru was observing about Renamut.

(You should have a level of "intuition" that you can spot if my "covert" or "mass blockade" level. But I can't check the soul board for some reason...)

Even at a close distance, it should be noted that Renamut's soulboard could not be confirmed.

Renamut said it was a "look" that discovered this place. Her "exploration" seems to look like a "prediction of the future" from other humans, and some of the adventurers renamed her "Prophet Swordsman" Swordforecaster ".

Although this is only a guess, Renamut usually relaxes this way, as "intuition" has an extremely high number, but it is a burden on the body to continue to use it as well as Hikaru's "magic detection".

Renamut doesn't seem to like to think, and even if Hikaru linked the Kounatsu raid to the Regular Soldier thing to predict the mastermind, he said, "Really?" All I had to do was snap my neck.

Hikaru considers the Kounatsu raid to be harassment of emerging aristocrats by conservative aristocrats. I'm not swearing allegiance to Kaglai, so as for Hikaru, that's fine if these bandits are duly punished. Even though the merchants only live hard every day, it's too poor to be subjected to all the feuds of nobility.

"So, what's going on with Cagley?

"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

"Never mind there. You're not offering allegiance to the Emperor either, are you?

"--… well"

For the first time here, Hikaru heard the fact that something tried to kill Kagrai the night the Hikars went to Kagrai's room.

crime scene that no one was there when the Kingsguard stepped in.

Heavy torso ahead.

The killer said, "Aren't you good at disappearing? Suspected."

"Hmm... then it wouldn't be strange for me to be a candidate for murder"

"--... yeah. it's hard to find it too, so he told me to do it"

"The client is the prime minister, isn't he?

"--... why do you think that?

"He must have sent you to hide, not to judge me. If you hear that I may have assassinated Cagley, a knight or a soldier won't be able to keep quiet."

"--... Probably, yeah. You tried to kill His Majesty?

"No? 'Cause it's not gonna benefit you."

"--... well, it doesn't look like he's lying"

You know that much by "intuition," Hikaru thinks it's "sloppier" than horror.

(Okay, I've made up my mind)

I was lost so far, but Hikaru decided to raise his "intuition". Defeating the Evil Dragon gives you 16 extra points.

However, that should be raised while verifying one point at a time. It's not a good idea to get a lot more pompous like Renamut.

"Intuition" compensates for the "hidden" that hides the figure, the "detected" that discovers the opponent, and the "detected" that is not enough. If this is the case, it can become a complete secret specialization.

(... magic, I just wanted to use it for a second)

Though that was the only part of my heart.

"--…? Sounds kind of sad"

"Never mind. So, I can't go to the Imperial Capital now, but I'll be back in a few days. Then I'll show my face to the Chancellor, so tell him so."

"--… ok. Then I guess I'll be fine."

"Can you report the bandits here to the guards in the nearby town? It would be more credible if you did it than if I did it. Only as a bandit."

"--... fine, but there are guards and bandits through and they could be acquitted. I mean, I feel like it"

"I don't mind that. Neither can I take it home. You just can't get rid of what you reported in Rank S, can you? If that record stabs a nail in their behavior, that's fine."

The goal is to eliminate obstruction to the coconut.

I know you want me to be justly punished, but I can't do anything about it right now —— I'm not going to let it go.

Hikaru checked the soul boards of all the bandits and withheld his name. Let me report this list to Kitin and the Chancellor later.

Renamut and I broke up on the spot, and Hikaru returned to the inn uninhabited.

The morning after that,

"Oh, you look sleepy. Didn't you sleep like that last night? But it's a relaxing thing to go to, so I don't mind if you sleep slowly!

How cheerfully Nino called me.

The Nino drove his carriage last night singing his nose, in a mood that seemed to have been purchased delicious information.

(... it's true that this street is peaceful)

Hikaru fell asleep on the carrier and closed his eyes.
