Kevin just raises his voice saying I'm not wrong,

"But... it's too frivolous!"

Grrrr!

”I'm cumming!!”

Hanasa kicks Kevin's shin hard with the tip of her shoe.

"This time it was good, but if it was connected to the bandits, we wouldn't be the only ones?!"

"I-I 'm sorry..."

Kevin looks half as tall as he should be as much as 180 centimeters after being scolded.I'm bending over and rubbing my shins, so it's superfluous.

"... haa... that's enough." I can't help it if I've already spoken to you. ”

Hanatha is too shocked to say anything, and after placing her hand on her forehead, she looks at me and Nil.

“So, what are you going to do?Get this far and say goodbye, I won't do it. "

“Yeah, so I'm going to let you meet Garrosa.”

"Hey?!"

Hanatha was surprised to see her eyes round, grabbing Kevin's arm and moving away from us.I've been talking to him, but Hanatha seems pretty angry.

I've never heard of Garrosa, but is she someone who has an important role to play?

Neither I nor Nil seemed to be in a situation where I could say anything, so I waited a few minutes for the two of them to finish talking.

"... haa..."

Even so, after hearing Hanatha's sigh, Hanatha opened her mouth and looked back.

"I'm going to talk to Kaido and the others about Garosa."But it's a very important story for us, so I need confirmation that we will never say anything else.

I know very well that everything is at my own convenience.That's why I want you to decide whether you want to listen to me like this or leave without me. "

“If you ask, how are you going to get proof that you won't say anything else?”

"...... I'm going to ask you to accept this request."

That's why Hanatha asked for the bandits to crush her.

A handyman?

"Yes, this man is one of the handymen who likes to do his own thing around here."I don't know his name, but I want him dead.I'm not a key member of Handyman, but I'm in a lot of trouble. ”

“I see. You're confirming that.”

"If Kaido-san is a terrible liar and everything up to this point is a lie, this man cannot be killed if he is on the handyman's side."It's because he's making a fortune around here. "

"... Okay, let's hear it."

According to Hanatha's tone of voice, he even knows about the key members of Handyman.I don't think Hanatha or Kevin are just villagers anymore.There is something between these two.

"... I see."

Hanatha closes the curtains and sits in a chair.

"... first of all, I think we've seen it so far, but me and Kevin hate Handyman."Precisely the bandits.

Both Kevin and I have a history of having our parents killed by bandits. ”

Kevin had said that his parents were dead, and Hanatha was single and living alone.I don't see my parents, and I've never heard of Hanatha's parents.

Is that so?

"I've already settled the matter myself, and I can handle it well myself."So I don't need any sympathy, and I don't want to talk about it.

However, I still hate the bandits. "

I knew you were on the opposing side, because I told you to kill one of the Handyman's crew.

"And just like me and Kevin, there's a village full of bandits and... people who hate some nobles."

"Village? This village?"

"No, it's not this village."It's a village somewhere else.But I can't tell you where it is.I won't tell you until I've finished the request. ”

"I guess that's true.So, what's a Garosa? "

"It's the name of the one who's putting the whole village together."

Did Kevin say such a name?

Nuhaha! Oh no!

Gus!!

”I'm cumming!!”

It seems that Kevin still has blue bruises on his legs.

Does that mean that the villagers are having an affair with Handyman?

"No, that's not what I'm talking about.They simply hide the victims of bandits and those who have fled as victims of the nobility. ”

I understand about it. In other words, Kevin and Hanatha, together with a person named Garosa of the village, are secretly moving to save the victims, but they usually live in this village.

The village is located an hour by horse-drawn carriage from Janoya, the biggest city in the area.I can't say it's super remote, but it's quite a distance.Close enough to walk even if you're not feeling well enough.Further south is the forest, and if you want to escape from bandits and aristocrats, some people in this village will give you food and clothes to cross the forest.

When he comes to the village, Kevin will definitely be the first person to talk to him.I was a gatekeeper in the village, so I took it for granted.

And it is Hanasa who will be consulted on what to do with him.If these two are on the Garrosa side, you can tell them to go to Garrosa without disturbing the villagers.

It would be easier for Hanatha to get in touch with Garrosa.Only two people can read.

"Are you two Garrosa's men?"

"It's a little different from your subordinates..."Somehow, he's like a friend.Garosa is the leader of the village, but it's a match, and it feels like an adventurer's party. "

"Are you telling me that you two are from this village...?"

"That's true." In other words, I kept Garrosa and the others secret, but I've never told you a lie before. "

I see.

It doesn't seem like the opposing organization led by Garrosa...Is that the image of the victim's meeting?

So, what about Zarain?

“Recently, there have been quite a few more Zarain victims... people who are closer to their users are fleeing rather than using them.”

Since Zalain's users are dependent, they can't escape even if they want to.Instead, the people around the user will be chased by the bandits.Pay for it, sell it, and so on.

"So... I'm thinking of something about Zarain's farm."However, we can't do anything by ourselves. "

It's a village of victims.There are not many people who can fight.Such a group will crush Zarain Farm!Even if you rush in, it's not hard to imagine that you'll end up in retaliation.

If Kaido and the others are going to help us...

"Is that what you want us to do?"

"I'm not trying to force you to do anything else."

Just a little... no.I'd be glad if you could just come up with an idea.I wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible.I don't want to see my life disappear because of bandits and aristocrats anymore.

That's not why I want you to fight.The goal is simply to shut down the functioning of Zalain Farm. ”

“I want you to help me with that.”

“Yeah, I'll tell you all the details later, but I'm sure I know what it is.”

"... I understand very well."

"I'm totally involved, but... I'm sorry."

Kevin lowers his head...

You were willing to get involved from the beginning, weren't you?

Nuhaha! You found out!

Grrrr!

I'm cumming!

Is Kevin's leg okay...?

"But, S-ranked adventurers aren't the kind of people you rarely meet, and it's only natural that you want to help them, right?"

Most of the famous adventurers around here have been bought. "

"That's true, but what are you going to do by getting involved without thinking about the other person's convenience?"I don't think about us either. "

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

Is it true?

Oh, it's true!

Let's get down to business before the two of us start messing around again.

"Well, I got caught up in it, and I decided to listen to it."I'll do what I can. ”

"Really?! It's Kaido the Rock!"Thank you! Nuhaha! "

So we can kill this bandit, right?

Yeah.

“You're not going to retaliate?”

"That's okay." It's true that we're making a fortune around here, but it's not a big deal just because of our handyman status, so even if we die, we're not going to jump up and find the killer.Considering Handyman's past, I'm sure he's too prominent to be a bad guy… ”

Hanatha puts Tonton and his index finger on the sketch of the requisition.

Okay.

"That's why I'm going to give you some information, because I can't let you see Mr. Khaido."Mr. Kaido should be able to handle this information secretly.

Also, the clothes that I was supposed to give for the reward of the request are made, so please go after you change your clothes. "

When Hanatha gets up, she brings some clothes from the back room.Take out one of them and put it on the desk.

"This is one of the clothes that the handymen like to wear."If you wear this, you'll be intimidated if you find it. ”

On the desk were blue and red clothes, sleeveless.Is there a little cotton in it? It is a little thick.Half of it was made of skin, and it seemed to have some defense.Wooden buttons and clothes are sewn with fur on the edge, and it's a folk costume to look at.

“Not everyone is wearing it, but if you're wearing it, they'll think you're a handyman.”

"... I see."

I was pretty familiar with Handyman.I want to be trusted here and have more information.

Therefore, I will ask some information about the man in the request form that I can use, and finish my talk.

“I'm sorry.”

Finally, Kevin apologized to me in a serious tone, but given our original intentions, it was a big step forward, not a problem.However, just as Hanasa doesn't trust us, we don't trust all of Hanasa's stories either.I won't reveal our purpose until I see Garrosa and the people who live there.

So after calling out to Kevin that he didn't care, Nil and I decided to return to the base once, in the name of hunting down monsters to get ready.

"Ah. Welcome back."

Slatan, with the pure slime on his head, greeted me with a half-closed eye.

You're so sleepy, aren't you?

”Huh... I'm trying to sleep because I can't do much research, but when I lie down, I think about research and I can't sleep... hah...”

After making a big stretch, I rubbed my eyes from under my glasses.

"Oh, welcome back."

Heine and Pilte emerge from the woods as they talk.It looked like they were spotting someone around.

“Just in time, I'll let you know because we've made progress.”

I got it.

Tell the three of them what has happened so far, and also tell them about Kevin and Hanatha.

If we get rid of the man in the request, we'll meet someone like Garrosa, right?

"Yeah, I think I'll get on with this story first."

"I don't have any other clues, and I think I know a lot about Handyman, so I think it's good."Shouldn't we go with the man in the request form to get rid of it? "

"... no. It's okay. Hanasa and the others can tell me more about this guy."I heard a few questions about when to be alone. ”

You know quite a bit about it, don't you?

"Apparently, someone named Garrosa will be getting the information."I don't know how, but I can ask you directly if I see you.Maybe we can get some information to crush Handyman. ”

"We'll get that information and move behind the scenes."If you have that much information, it won't take long, and I'll be ready. ”

Thank you very much.

After the friction between Heine and the others was over, Nil and I quickly headed to the place where the man in the request form was.

The place is not a city or a village, it is like an abandoned village, and there are only a few decaying houses.

"Will it not be in vain if I stay in such a place...?"I don't think it's much different from a slave just from where I live... "

Nil was the first to feel pity for the bandits.Besides, the bandits live in a tattered place.

It's dark out here at night.You can see the fire in the center of the abandoned house.

"There are a total of ten people here."And what we're after is... "

"That's the man sitting in the back."

A man sitting in front of an abandoned house in the best possible condition behind a bonfire.It matches the sketch on the requisition.

My hair looks like it smells like it's rustling.Red and blue national costume-like clothes.It looks like a beastman, but I can't tell what kind of beast it is.

"I'll wait a little."

Yes.

When it's late at night, the man we're after always pays people to bring the woman they caught into the abandoned house.I don't want to imagine what you're doing, but the timing is the most efficient way to get rid of it.But I will not touch the others.

If there were about ten of them, perhaps they could be annihilated, but if they were to be annihilated, or if they were to kill one man in a row, the mental state of the main members of the handyman would be very different.It is only necessary to have it handled as an inner circle fight, so we will aim only at the target quietly.

Nil had backup this time.

Sometimes it's enough to be alone, but I don't want Nil to see that the captured woman is being humiliated... My personal feelings are mixed up.

So I changed my clothes, got a little closer to the abandoned village, and Nil waited behind me.As soon as I get into the abandoned house, you'll use soundproofing magic.Quickly get rid of the man inside and leave.If you can, it would be better if someone from the bandits saw you escape.Of course, you can't see your face in the sense that you can see the back and the place that is disturbed by the shadows.

The bandits surrounded the fire for a while and drank alcohol. When everyone's face turned red, the target man rose.

Again?

Is it bad?

"No, no, no! Please turn me around once in a while."

If you feel like it.

A target who enters the abandoned house in such a conversation.

"Shit. I have a good feeling about myself."Even though it's our job. "

"That's what I said, and I turned it around, even once, I can't believe it."

Apparently, the target isn't much of a fan either. It was very convenient.

I go around to the back of the abandoned house, out of sight of the others.

You can't see me, but Nil can see me.The timing will be right.

Around the abandoned village are scattered waste materials that would have been some kind of building.Using the shadow of that scrap material, I leaned over to the abandoned house where Sulu and the target were located.

"I hate it! Stop it!!"

The sad screams of a woman who starts to be heard as soon as a man enters the abandoned house.My voice leaked out because it was an abandoned house.I'm in a terrible mood. I suppressed my desire to do something quickly, and I quietly peered into the abandoned house.

In the darkness, on a worn-out floorboard, a brown-haired elf woman tied up with her hands, and a man covered over her.It was really a disgusting sight.

Step into the abandoned house as quickly as possible and as quietly as possible.

I pull the throwing dagger I borrowed from Nil from my waist.

Although it is an abandoned house, it is very close to the original type because it lives there, and the waste material is inclined and quite narrow.The size of the knife is the easiest to handle because it is too long and gets in the way with a sword or straight sword.Nil's throwing dagger was just the right size for this, so I borrowed one.

Shut up!

"Ngh! Ngh!"

A man holds down a woman's mouth with his hand.This was exactly what I was forced to do.The Elf lady was rampaging with all her might, her tears were bursting, and her clothes were half torn.

As I slowly approach to keep my footsteps quiet, the Elf Woman notices me.It's normal to see me over a man's shoulder because he's being pushed over.

An elf woman who sees my eyes with a knife in her hand realizes that I'm not trying to kill herself, but the man she's covering is the target, and she uses all her remaining power to resist.I was trying to deceive myself by slightly moving my gaze towards me.

"Ngh! Ngh! Nnh!"

Don't get mad!

The moment a man raises his hand, the blade of my dagger pierces my back.

Ahh...

A man whispering a small voice stops the movement.

The elf woman's eyes twisted with joy, as if they were no more.I know the words that describe her mood right now.

Aah!

That's exactly what he looked like. There is no more face worthy of that word.

Normally, a woman at a time like this often has a look of fear on her face, but this woman seems to be different.Perhaps, but... it's not the first time I've been attacked like this.If disgust prevailed over fear, often... no, let's not think about it.

Gotcha.....

A man who falls over a woman doesn't move at all.

Gotcha!

Women violently retreat from men.

"Ugh! Die!"

Gosh! Gosh!

The woman is tied up, but she kicks the man's body with her free feet many times.If you tell a man who's already dead to die, you know how much you hate him.However, we can't let it get rampage like this.

I put my index finger in my mouth.

”Huh... huh...”

The woman sees it and barely stops kicking.I'm the only one who can help her right now.If you don't listen to me, you'll be left here.You understand that, don't you?
