To Be a Power in the Shadows!

"Close the door!

As soon as we entered the store, the skinhead old man closed the door and locked it.

Don, Don, and the door are knocked from the outside, but the vibration is surprisingly small.

"That's the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce. Sturdy doors."

"Right. Whether the material is different or the door is rigged, it is somewhat sturdy. You can't break it if you're not a demon swordsman."

Skinhead old man says.

"Damn, it smells like crap. You'll never open that door again. I'm Margari. He's a demon swordsman and a mercenary. What about you guys?

"I'm Christina. This is Sid. We're students at the Midgal Demon Swordsman's School."

"Why would a student from the Kingdom of Midgal be in the Kingdom of Oriana?

"My mother's home is the kingdom of Oriana. Kind of in relation to that. Sid, I hear you're traveling."

"This is the time to travel."

"Ha..."

I deceived myself with a loving laugh.

"I heard the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce is protecting residents..."

Christina looked around the store.

There are dozens of people who look like residents, but I don't see anyone who looks like an employee of the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce.

"They took the residents and escaped last night. It was a mushroom when we got here."

"So it was too late..."

"Unfortunately, we're the only ones who can do something about it."

"That's not true. I'm sure the anti-Doems will be here soon to help."

"I hope so..."

Margari told me to throw up.

"You're not coming to help me?

"How much do you think the people in town have become a monster? There 'll be more soldiers out there than there are."

"... I guess so"

"If the guys outside knew what was going on inside, they would never come in attacking. I'd lock them up the other way and wait for the monsters to starve to death. The walls have become a cage for us."

Christina's expression got steep.

I think Margari's reflection is very realistic and I calmly judge the status quo.

"I mean... we have to wait here until the monsters starve to death or get out on their own."

"Don't be. Some of them seem to believe there's a rescue coming soon, but I don't think there's much hope."

Margari, at the discretion of a realistic mercenary, was looking over the inhabitants in pity.

"The problem is a pile, but I'm glad it's going to be a force of war for now. If anything happens, the three of us will fight."

"You mean we're the only demon swordsmen?

"No. Only the three of us have combat experience. Instead of being a demon swordsman, I don't have any military experience."

"... if anything happens, we can't protect them all."

Christina said, lurking her voice.

"I know. Still, we have to do what we can."

"... right"

"For one thing, I'm going to cage here. I'm doing the wrap-up here. Follow my instructions."

"Okay."

"I asked for it. Quick, but there's something we need to do. You know what I need to cage?

"Water and food. And firewood."

"That's right. Water should melt the snow on the roof. Firewood will be fine for a while. But the food..."

"So, that's why I was against letting these guys in!!

One of the residents roughed up his voice, blocking Margari's story.

"And we're low on food! I should have killed you!!

"I would never do food!!

"Yes, they do! This is our food!!

A few voices are absurd, but the gaze of other residents did not appear favorable either.

"These guys are students at Demon Swordsmen School!! If anything, it's the three of us fighting!!

Margari intimidates with a low voice.

"Ugh..."

That is the power of mercenaries.

The inhabitants leaned down and grew up.

"I'm sorry. Everybody's doing their best for themselves."

"I don't care."

"I think you've figured it out, but we don't have enough food."

"Don't you have products from the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce?

"High-value products have been recovered by the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce"

"Yes. How many days exactly do you have?

"I don't know how many days it's gonna be, but that's it"

Margari opened me a large box in the heart of the inhabitants.

I felt the unfriendly gaze.

"This..."

In the box, when I did, I was piled with luxuriously packaged candy.

"S, so much special beauty drop DX!?

Christina screamed when she saw 10,000 Zenny candy grains made into piles.

Left without recovery made the Cost 10 Zeny theory very credible.

Staring with pity at Christina, I looked over at the other products left behind by the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce.
