"So, it's good that Balabanta and the others are angry, but are you looking for the adventurers?"

"As far as I know, I'm not looking around."

"... I see."

He's a bandit, he's so angry that others recognize him, they're not looking for him.It's too funny. Then why not look for it?There will be one answer. We already have some idea where the killer is.

In addition to Nil and me, Heine and Pilte are with us, and it's hard to find anyone who can pinpoint their position without being noticed by these four.You may be over-conscious, but at least you're not so dull that you don't realize that the bandits around you are after you.

Still, knowing where they are will definitely be the black dogs first.

Then, the black dog and Varavanta are already connected.

"Allen, have you heard anything from Noble or Hunters Rabbi?"

"I don't have to tell you right now... I'm in a hurry."

"I see....."

From Allen's point of view, the people who attacked us suddenly on their way to the Ranvi didn't know what the hell they were doing here, but it seemed to be a way to hit us with the Hunters Rabbi.

Perhaps the black dogs knew that they were pissing off Balabanta, the leader of the Hunters Rarabai, and they hit us with those bandits.I was convinced they would kill me.

It turns out we killed the bandits, and the black dogs reported it to Balabanta and made him target us.The scenario of killing Nil in the midst of that disturbance...

"Allen, do you know where Hunters Larrabay is based?"

"Hunters Rabbi is just a word that refers to an organization that is a collection of bandits, and it doesn't mean there are such bandits.

In other words, there is no home. "

"What a mess...

Now, do you know where Balabanta is? "

"No, Barabanta is said to have seen fewer of her faces, and she doesn't know where she is."

"I don't think I can handle it..."

"No, that's not true.

Zana, the Noble leader to whom I belong.That man would know something.

And if it's the home of Noble, we'll know. "

"If it hits from here, is there only that line..."

In its present state, even if it explodes north to reach the Magic Realm, there must be a trap somewhere.It's too dangerous to keep running without knowing anything.

then.....

"Should we settle this here... Allen.Where is Noble's home base? "

"This castle is located just north of this rich forest."

"Castle...? Is that where you live?"

Looks like he's doing a pretty good job as a bandit.

"The castle Zana once stole from the nobles."

"You're a terrible guy... are you settling in?"

"Yes, the size of Noble is considerable.Besides, Hunters Rabbi is behind us, so it's not easy to settle down. "

"I see... I see. Do you know how the castle is structured and staffed?"

"I'm sorry... I've never been in a castle, nothing..."

"Well, then we'll find out for ourselves.

Allen. Maybe Noble and we can go into battle.Maybe you should hide for a while. "

"Okay, I'll let you do that."

"I know you do, but this is..."

"I won't tell anyone.If you do that, Noble and Caidoo will take care of you.My purpose hasn't been achieved yet, and my life is wasted. "

"... thank you."

"No. Bye."

After that, Allen disappears into the grass again.

She told me that it was a little different from the image I had heard from Leah and that she would really back off.The sense of justice is too strong to appear to be the attitude of a reckless person to enter Noble.I hope the story of hiding isn't a lie...

I wonder if we're going to set this up?

Haine opens her mouth when she is worried about Allen.

"Oh, I think we should go see Zana in Noble."

"But... you're dealing with a super giant bandit.I think there is too much difference in the number of people in the boulder...? "

Heine and Pilte seem a little worried.

"If you go straight ahead, it'll be a tough fight, no matter how many bandits."

"Well, you're not saying it's impossible...?"

"Ah... I've had a few of those fights."

I mean, that's all there is to it.

"Nevertheless, you don't have to dare to follow a dangerous path.The opponent's way is cunning and outrageous.Then I'll let you do the same.That way, even a few of us will be able to take on many. "

"If that's the case, Pilte and I will appear."

"Let's get rid of the bandits!"

"We can count on your willingness... but we'll carry things carefully considering the possibility that our movements have been discovered or read."

The three of them nodded loudly, including Nil.

"In order to do that, we first need to find a base.Try to stay as close to this neighborhood as possible, hide yourself well, and find a relatively safe place. "

"Not in this lush forest?"

"Not bad... too many monsters and too many shadows."

"Even if someone who eavesdrops gets close, it's hard to notice."

"Nil's right. No matter how good the vampire's five senses are, the opponent is a black dog.I'm not out of my mind at all.Always think about the possibility that it might be a trap.It's the same when you're dealing with a bandit.

Bandits, I'm sure, have a lot of fish, but they have a lot of practical experience.If I lick it, it will be this way to see painful eyes. "

"Surely, steadily..."

"Kill them before they know it.This is the ideal. "

"Assassinating an assassination squad is a terrible operation."

"That's why it's unexpected.I don't think everything will work out.I'll try, but I don't think everything will get in the way of the professionals.

You just need to stab some. If you can win with it, you can make money. "

"You're right, Sinya-sama.We have to show you what we can do. "

"Look... I'll definitely beat Isas and Suzanne's enemies."

To be precise, it can be said that the two enemies have already fought, but that is not the case.

Heine and Pilte are in a good mood.Then we'll just do what we can.

We'll go back to where the carriage was hidden, check the surrounding geography, and find a place that looks like a hub.

"If you don't know when and where the black dogs are watching, you're always nervous..."

"For now, we're alert, but I'm not sure... I'm sorry."

Haine apologizes for Nil's serious expression while being rocked by Pilte's carriage.

"No, that's not what I meant.Just by searching for enemies, the safety is completely different. "

"... I'll apologize to Nil-chan again."

Heine suddenly begins to apologize to Nil.The conversation seems to be connected and not connected.

"I heard from Pilte, but he must have been pretty mad at us... because he didn't apologize properly, so I'll apologize here. I'm sorry."

"No!"

Haine lowers her head deeply.For them, slaves are men.I wouldn't scorn you for being a slave... but from Heineken's point of view, neither I nor Nil are kids or daughters.It's hard to do.

"I know we were wrong.Thank you so much for the opportunity. "

"Ha... yes..."

Nil shakes his head vertically with a little embarrassment.I think Heine really meant it, and he took it honestly.

"Nil, apologize to me again."

Pilte also deliberately stopped the horse and lowered his head toward Nir.

"Ha, yes..."

I began to act with Heine and the others, and there was a small number of people in Nir's mouth as to whether there was something that was haunting them.Heine and Pilte must have felt it somehow.

"I've just made a mistake, and I'm always bothering your husband.I don't think I can say anything about others.But..... "

Nil tried to pick the words carefully, trying to keep them going.

"Well... from now on, let's work together as a member of the same party."

Eventually, the words that came out became disconnected from the story, but Heine and Pilte had their hearts conveyed.

"Yes, thank you!"

"I'll do my best."

Yes!

I don't know if all the pans are gone, but at least this is the end of the messy relationship...

The absence of discord in the party leads to the preservation of all lives.I'm sure Heine and Nil know that well.Lose it before things start and be mentally ready.

Pilte smiled back and drove the carriage.

Noble's base is on the north side of the rich forest.In order to build a base as close as possible, we will continue along the outer circumference of the rich forest to the north.

From the rich forest, the range from the northeast to the north is a lush environment with small mountains.In the first place, there are mountain roads in the mountains, but the roads are in poor condition because few people go to the places where Noble bandits are.However, the slopes of the mountains are gentle and the carriage can go far enough.

It's just a natural place with a fairly high rate of monsters appearing, and I always feel the signs of monsters from around me.Of course, I fought several times.It was then time to continue the carriage and say it was about noon.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what about there as a base?!"

When I was talking about stopping the carriage and taking a break, Pilte said excitedly.

Pilte is pointing his finger at a valley of mountains northeast from the lush forest.It was more like a horizontal hole than a cave there…

It is a long way from the mountain road and may not have been found by me or Nil's vision.

"Is it a bear or some kind of nest?"

She asks if Nil wonders about the horizontal hole in such a place.In response, Pilte answers.

"Probably not.It doesn't smell like beasts... As far as the topography goes, it must have been a river in the past.Isn't that the horizontal hole that was made at that time? "

The transverse holes lie in the valleys of the mountains and on the sides of the cliffs.There is no sand and a lot of stone around the cliff.After the sand was washed away and only heavy stones remained, the river would have dried up or turned to another route, and it would have stopped flowing to this place anyway.

And rather than animals digging, it looks like the water shredded the cliff and made a hole in the river's current.

The size of the hole is about four meters high and five meters wide.Quite a big side hole. It will be deep enough to be a simple base.

"There aren't many plants around here, so it may not be long since the river disappeared."

"If we look around a little, we might find a creek."

"It's a long way from the mountain road, and if we hide it, we won't find it first.Rather than bad, it's an ideal place.You found it well. "

Yes!

I wonder if Pilte is happy to be of any help.

"I don't know if there's a creek, so I'll look for it later.Until then, keeping the surroundings safe is our top priority.Then let's get to know the surrounding terrain. "

"Ah, I'll keep you safe!"

Nil feels comfortable with his hands as a fist.

"Oh, oh..."

"Leave it to me!"

Nil moves smoothly.

Niru-chan is so cute.

"I agree with you, sweetie... why are you doing this now?"

"What are you talking about? Pilte was very helpful, so I'm working hard to get Sinya to recognize me.I don't want to lose to Pilte. "

"I don't want to lose...."

I tried to say that there would be no such thing, but when I looked at Nil and checked the situation around me, I realized that what Heine was saying was not wrong.

"When you're done, I'll give you a compliment."

Oh, wow.

Master!

Seeing Nil come back with one hand up, Heine smiles and walks towards Pilte looking after the horse.

"The surroundings are safe! There are no monsters or people!"

It's like a puppy waiting to be stroked... cute nails.

"Well, thank goodness."

Nil smiles as if she strokes her head as usual.

"I was able to keep my surroundings safe.Can Heine and Pilte check the surrounding geography and environment? "

"Yeah, I'll take care of it. I'll find out if there's a water field nearby."

"I'll leave it to you. Nil and I will make things easier for you to spend here."

"Ok! I'll be there!"

Heine and Pilte leave the carriage and head for the surroundings.

"Well... let's start with the camouflage so we don't find this place."

Can I focus on tree magic and earth magic?

"No, I'll take care of that.It's a wide area, and I'd better do it with a lot of magic.Can Nil clean up the hole? "

The inside of the lateral hole is not said to be dirty, but it is not in a state where you can fall asleep.The floor surface is also rippling, and since it is not reinforced, it may collapse.

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

"Oh, please."

With the surrounding camouflage and ground, it's time to take a breath... and Heine and Pilte come back.

"You look so beautiful..."

"Your feet aren't rattling, right?!"

"I was able to hold my scaffold with earth magic.It's even better inside. Nil did it alone. "

Turning to the lateral hole, Nil came out of the lateral hole.

"Ah, Heine-sama, Pilte. You're back."

"I'm glad you stopped calling me that.When someone stronger than you calls me, it gets harder. "

"Me too... I don't mind abandoning it normally."

Well then, Mr. Haine. I'll call you Pilte... "

"Yes, that's fine."

"Yes! That's what I'm asking!"

"So, according to Sinya, the inside is going to be amazing?"

"I don't know if it's... amazing, but I think it's easier to spend than it was in its original state."

That's how Nil guides me inside.

"Wow... it's really amazing..."

"I think I can live a much better life than a cheap lodging around here..."

Heine and Pilte celebrate Nil with a sigh of surprise.

That should be it. Because what they are saying is not a compliment, but a fact.

Tiled flat floors, walls, and ceilings.There are lanterns hanging as lighting, tables, chairs, and wooden beds for people.In addition, it has even a slight unworn pattern.Looking at the pattern, it seems to be inspired by the Japanese pattern seen on Ouka Island.

Overall, however, it is a simple and calm space.

The bed is covered with the fur of a monster that was in my inventory and looks warm.

If you look at the overly finished interior, you'll forget that this is the cliff.

"Did you carve this pattern yourself?"

"Yes, a bit of wind magic. I thought it was too killing... do you mind?"

"That's not true! Very good!Has Niru-chan ever done this before? "

"No, Master taught me a lot of things in the production process."

"No, I taught you that wind magic makes it easy to carve patterns."

"Without that teaching, I wouldn't have been able to do this."

"No... that's how anyone can come up with it, and that's how it's done, right?"

"Even so."

Nil doesn't even take one and a half steps. And for some reason, I bragged.

"Well then, you two are amazing.Either way, thank Nil for making such a busy room. "

"No, I didn't think I could sleep in a bed while I was at a temporary base..."

If we find this location, we immediately relocate it to another location.Even if we didn't know if we'd found it, it's not a good idea to stay long, so we're going to move somewhere else.I mean, this is just a temporary base.As long as I'm glad to have a well-built bed there.

"Just make and assemble each piece.My blacksmith friend taught me. "

"You have a nice friend."

"Yes! You're such a lovely friend!"

"Fufufu, I can tell by that face alone."

Eh?!

Nil talks about his friends on Ouka Island with a smile on his face.He didn't realize he was a full smile.

"It's embarrassing..."

"Don't be shy.That's nice. If you like, get along with Pilte. "

"Yes, of course!"
