When you're done with your supplies, all you have to do is prepare for your feelings.This time, it also included a plan to take advantage of the speed of Slatan, so I couldn't remove it.

However, Surakutan has already experienced several battles, so don't worry.

Therefore, everything is ready and I began to move in the darkness of the night.

It takes about an hour to walk to Ponatala.Walk through the cotton fields to reach the spot where you can see the ponatara.

The city is still busy, and the city lights illuminate the sky.

Looking at the exterior of the city, I can see that the contents of Garosa's map were quite accurate.It seems that we can also expect the internal structure.

“Let's start with us.”

"I'm begging you."

"It's my specialty, so leave it to me."Let's go, Pilate. "

Yes.

First, Heine and Pilte search for hidden passages and eliminate threats.

We'll be around for backup, but basically, we'll leave it to Heine and Pilate.

I heard it in advance, but it was not a cave or an underground tunnel, but a small iron door was attached, and there was a stone similar to the outer wall with earth magic.

In the event of an emergency, it seems that the nobility and powerful people can enter and exit without going through the crowded gates.Such hidden passages exist in every city, and they are not unusual.However, it is a door that is only said to be hidden and is not known to the general public, and the people who know it are aristocrats and people close to it.

In this case, Ponatala's lord, Bourdon-Fjorde, has taken over, so everyone who knows the hidden passage is shutting their mouths, even if the bandits are coming and going.

Because it is a hidden passage, there is no one like the doorman, but there is a small hole just above the door, so you can ask how it is from inside to outside.

Furthermore, there are people standing on the outer wall, and there is constant monitoring.

I wonder if Heine-san and Pilte would be okay in a place with such strict surveillance eyes.

“Yeah, I think they're good at hiding and assassinating.”

"I-I 'm scared to say it..."

Beauty who is good at assassinating... it certainly makes me feel a little scared, but I know both of them well and I'm sure it's even better now.

"Besides, it's about time." Are you ready? "

Yeah.

If you find Heine and Piltee, Suratan is going to rush in.If you still can't get rid of it, Nil and I will leave from behind.

As Heine and Pilté glowed, they were wrapped in black fog. Vampire magic, melt-darkness.

Their bodies melt into the darkness, making it considerably harder to see.

However, in that state, the lights illuminate near the outer wall, and the movements of the two people become visible.

Looking at what I'm going to do, I head to the nearest place where the light reaches me, and watch the timing for a moment.Apparently, they're watching the surveillance on the wall.

The soldiers on the wall are looking out as they go over there or this way, but at a time when they're not looking out, they activate their magic.

I could see a rattling bat and a black bat flying away from the two of them.Vampire magic, Bloodbat.

I thought the bat was going to attack the soldier, but apparently it wasn't.The bat flies toward the lights.

"... oh! Kora! Stop!"

A soldier on the wall sees a flying bat and screams.Even though it hadn't arrived, he was stretching his spear under the wall and trying to get rid of the bat.

Gashan!

The light hung on the wall was a magic tool, and it was a lantern-type object with a magic stone in a glass container.When a bat taps the lantern several times, the glass breaks.The bat pulled the magic stone inside and took it out.If it had been a bit better and a sturdier magic tool, I wouldn't have been able to do anything like a bat.There was nothing good to be done in defense.

In the end, the soldier's struggle was in vain, and the magic stone fell to the ground and the lights disappeared.There are still lights on the wall, but it's completely dark down there, and from the light, Heine and Pilate won't even notice.

In addition, the two of them activated the dark illusion with a bad push, and the visibility near the ground was extremely lowered, so even if we were to get close, the environment would be completed first.

"Shit! Bat! I have more to report!"

The soldier says he's pissed off, but it's not like he's going straight to the point.

Heine and Pilte approached the hidden passage to unlock Meltdarkness.I'll give you a signal.

Let's go.

Soon we ran behind Heine and the others, keeping our low stance.

Heine turns his hand to us and tells us to stop.

Following Heine's instructions, when Pilté uses more magic where it sticks to the wall, a thin black fog appears from his hand.Compared to the melt-darkness I used earlier, the thickness of the fog is less than one-tenth.It would be visible if there was a light about the size of the sun, but under the light at night, it is a fog that is not visible at first.

This is a magic called the Vampire Magic Frow Dark, which fills a thin mist over a radius of five meters around itself, and senses it when something moves in it.

That's right. It's the magic of the sensing system.

When I first heard about it, I was surprised that there was a magic sensing system, but it seemed that it was up to five meters, and it was difficult to prepare because it was used in a variety of media.However, the accuracy is quite good, and even the breathing can be sensed.

The Frou Dark activated by Pilates slowly spread around.Then, even from the empty hole at the top of the place where the door would be, the fog enters slurpingly.

………………

As Pilté concentrates his senses a little, he puts his two fingers up.

That means there are two of them inside.Within five meters there was a condition that...

Until the structure in the hidden passage, it was impossible to know the galoshes of the boulders, so it was possible to enter by hand.I don't know if it's on the other side of the wall or even on one of the gratings.

There were definitely two humans at the other end of the door.There is no way to assault and defeat them, but there is an easier and surer way to neutralize them.

If Froudark's magic came through the hole and into it, the rest is easy.You can stun it with vampire magic, feint fog, or use a strong acid ball to fill it with acid fog.However, this time I left it to Heine and Pilte, so I fainted at Feint Fog.

Heine drew a magic circle and sent Feint Fog through the hole.After a few seconds, Pilté nods that he's okay, and the elimination is complete.

The key of the concealed passage is naturally of the type that is hung from the inside, and is of the kanchuku type.There is no handle on the outside and it cannot be opened unless it is opened from the inside.I don't know how thick the door was, but perhaps I could slash it with the level sword Nil and I were using.However, I can't make such a flashy entrance, and I want to break in as unnoticed as possible.So, this time it's Sura Tan's turn.

When I saw the slatan, I drew the pure slime on my head with a proud face close to the hole.Then, Nyurunyuru and Pure Slime enter the hole, and a few seconds later, Gaga and Tsuji move.

If you operate another slime via pure slime, the slime may not understand the instructions that are too complicated, but since the pure slime is connected with the mental part of the slime, it can accurately grasp what the slime wants to do.This kind of work makes it easy.I didn't think Slime would be able to do so much by just being one of us.Surprisingly dependable.I don't want to say anything unexpected, because I think Surakutan will be mad at me again.

Garang!

The door slowly opens as the sound of a bird falling from the back of the wall.The pure slime that moves in the first place is a little soothing as it opens the door.

When I looked inside, it seemed to be a small room, with a small wooden desk and two round chairs, and Riversi on the table.I can't believe it was spreading all over the city... Hurina-san's power...

The two bandits were prone to fainting at the desk.He is dressed like a blue and red national costume.

There is a small lantern hanging in the room, the only light is that.It seems that there are no other people.

Opposite the room, you can see a steel door similar to the one that came in.

Slowly sneaking closer to the door so as not to wake the two stunned, I noticed that the outside air was flowing in.

Just like the entrance we entered, the opposite entrance also seems to have a hole for looking outside.You can see wooden walls, wooden boxes, and more when you look out of the hole on a small scaffold.

I don't feel any sign of anybody, but I don't know who's coming, and I'll leave when I can.

On the other side of the door, there was no door, and it seemed to have a structure that could be easily opened.

Tsk, tsk...

Slowly open the door to the inside and go outside.

It was dim and hard to understand, but it seemed like a warehouse.Perhaps it is quite appropriately constructed, the gap gust is severe, and you can feel the wind even if your senses are not sharp.

When the door of the hidden passage is closed, the light from the outside is emphasized, and it can be seen that the outside of the cabin is immediately becoming a city.

"...... this smell......"

When I was thinking of asking what was going on outside, I opened the lid of a nearby wooden box with a face that Heine didn't like.

I knew it.

I'll peek inside too, but the sweet smell will irritate your nose.

"... Zalain."

The crate is packed with plants that have been uprooted.

The appearance is very similar to that of a plant called muskari, with thick, elongated leaves extending from the bottom, and small purple flowers at the tip of the long stem.Apparently, it looks like a bulbous plant. The root is plump and swollen, and the white root extends from its lower part.It seems that how much time has passed since it was pulled out, and it is completely atrophied.It may be at the stage of drying.I think the smell is probably coming from the flower part... but I feel nauseous because there is a lot of Zalain stored in the wooden box.

“This is definitely Zarain.”

"I see... it looks like there's some other odor mixed in, but..."

"Another smell?"

"Yeah... it's a smell I've never smelled before."

"Maybe that's a hint that you can cultivate... I'd like to get rid of it right now, but I'll put up with it here."First of all, we have to get rid of Daiyuan. ”

Yeah.

Now it's almost like we were able to cover up what we were guessing about.The lords of this city won't be able to solve this problem until we do something.Zarain's farm is in the lord's house, and Zarain's lord should be destroyed at the same time.We need to extract the information, but when we're done, we'll have to take responsibility for all the bad things we've done.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are three people outside." There are people approaching this location.We need to hide right away. ”

Pilte feels a sign and tells us.

Even though it is a small hut, the luggage is plentiful and it is not difficult to hide.

Gee...

As soon as each of them finished hiding, a wooden door opened that led to the outside.

"I see... put it over here."

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Apparently, one of them has given instructions and two of them are carrying wooden boxes.They must all be members of the Handyman.However, unlike those who killed Hanasa at their request, they are pretty clean.My clothes are beautiful, and I think they're pretty lucrative.

"Next time, let me do it."

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

A wooden box that was being carried one by one.Seeing Heine and Pilate's steep faces, the crate they brought with them also contained Zalain.

In the end, five boxes of wood were brought in and stacked.If they leave, we'd better get out of here too.

"Alright, I'll load it next time." Um, the dry one is... around there. "

The tip of the man's finger was around the area where the slack tongue was hidden.

This is pretty bad. You won't find it all of a sudden, but if you don't move quickly, it's only a matter of time before you find it.

I can see the slack, but the slack is bad!He has that look on his face.

Three men approach a wooden crate hiding in Sulatan.

Gee...

The door opens to the outside at a time when I think I'm going to take a break from everything.

"Oh, you were carrying the package. Good job."

"Ah, thank you for this."

Someone seemed to be great, and the three of them looked back towards the entrance.

At that moment, Surakutan left at a proud speed. I managed.

Recently, the amount has increased, so it's hard, right?

"That's right, but that's a lot of money, and it's a pleasure."

"That's true, too." Mr. Rox seems to be in a good mood lately, and if you work hard, there may be a lot of happy things.Work without skipping. ”

Yes.

“Yes. When you're finished with the load, tell them it's going to be a little late.”

Got it.

I'm begging you ~

A man who leaves waving his hand while saying that.

As far as I can tell, the people carrying the cargo are on the lower end, and the man who seems to be the most important member of the Handyman nowadays.I'd like to catch him and get some information, but I can't leave now.It was a pity, but this time I had no choice but to give up.

When the man leaves, the three of them resume their work, carry out some boxes, and then open the door to the room where the two of us fainted.

"What?! Whoa?! Are you okay?!"

What's the matter?!

Looking at the two people who had fainted, one of them shouted, and the two people who were waiting outside ran into the room.

At that timing, we go out quietly and quickly.

The two of them fainted without noticing us, so they must have been aware of how soon they fell asleep.There is a possibility that two people will be suspicious at the same time, but they will not reach us.

Ah, that was close...

When Surakutan went out, the first thing he said was that word.

"I thought you'd find out..."

"That was pretty close." I was freaking out too. "

"I see... I'm glad I didn't find it."

"Well, if I found it, it would be flashy, but I would have dealt with it somehow, but if it didn't make a fuss, it would be easier to move around."I'm glad you didn't find it.

However, I wanted to catch a man who looked like he was in an important position, but it was a waste to be unable to do so. "

“That's right. It's a shame you seemed to have some important information.”

"Ah. Then I'll let you track me down."

"" "" Huh?! "" "

I was surprised except for Surakutan.I didn't think I could do that, and how do I track it down...?

Surprised?

"They're all surprised."

"Fufufufu. In fact, find new traits in interesting slimes."

That said, Slushan took out a bottle that looked like a test tube, and inside it was light blue mucus and a small nucleus of the little finger that moved fufufu.

"Slime...?"

"Sinya caught me, the core of Twin Slimes." One of them. ”

A twin slime is a D-ranked slime that has two cores.It has the same ability as a normal slime, but it is only about the size of a fist. Although it is a subspecies, the threat level is considered to be lower than a normal slime.

“Actually, Twin Slimes. It wasn't a slime with two cores, it was a combination of two slimes.

So, when I divided them up to release the nucleus, I found that one slime had the habit of trying to get back. ”

When Sulatan looks at the test tube, he sees that the slime inside is pushing the wall of the test tube from the inside and going somewhere.

"And the other slime keeps waiting until the split comes back."

Did you let that man sneak that slime in?

"That's right. With Puretan's instructions, I can control the slime of the immobile."I put it on that man's clothes. I mean... "

"If that slime goes in the direction you want it to go, you'll be able to reach that man."

What do you think? Slime is amazing, isn't it?

"Honestly, I have no choice but to say that this is amazing."It's a tracking device. "

"But if you get noticed and killed, this slime will die too, so you should hurry."

Is it so interlocked...

"I don't know why."It's full of wonders! "

Sura said it was strange happily.I was glad that the mystery was still unraveling.

"It looks like you can get information wherever you don't expect to."Let's get that guy before he finds the slime. ”

"Yeah, let's go."

Deep in the hood, the five of them step into the bustle of the city.

"This way."

Proceed along the city of Ponatala under the guidance of Sura Tan.From the time I looked at the map, this city called Ponatala is quite narrow between buildings.

Whether such a construction was originally planned, the road width is all the same, and the construction is quite dense.

"The sense of oppression in the houses is amazing."

“It feels so much closer than it looks on the map.”

“It's just about the same as the map.”

"There are some unusual shops, but most of them are the same."
