A few days ago.

Sukku Kingdom/Wangdu.

Night.

in the separate residence of a certain lord.

There are shadows that observe the splendid mansion from behind. Multiple.

"Lord Franca hasn't returned yet?

"It should be about time.... No wait"

At the end of their gaze, a reinforced carriage approached from the street.

When he stops in front of the mansion, a formidable man descends from inside with his servant. The clothes you are wearing are noble things, but your standing is like an unskilled soldier.

The shadow you are observing is reputable.

"You don't look fifty with that. It feels like a nice middle"

"You mean a lot of people get fooled."

"What?"

"Meaning as I said...... Mmm, this smell...... Get down."

Don't!

The carriage was finally engulfed in fire.

My servant was blown away and stopped moving, but the nobleman known as Franca was magnificently passive and as if intact.

"Right now, you?

"That's not true.... Coming, Assassin."

"Wow, as you can tell."

Multiple black shadows scattered in the smoke - assassins approaching Lord Franca.

It was an assassination of a nobleman who went to Wang Du.

This is not uncommon, but the sight that follows is somewhat invisible to you.

Lord Franca pulled out a one-handed straight sword, also visible for liturgical purposes, which he was raising on his hips,

"- [Battle moves] Strong Strike" Attack ""

He gave back three assassins in one swing.

He then cuts down his enemies with swordsmanship, and finally retreats them.

……………………

Still breathing Assassin's hands and feet, slitting his clothes and making sure he had no trick to blow himself up, he grabbed the root and lifted it up and went straight into the mansion.

Whoever sees it is going to torture you after this, you will think.

Another shadow from the shadows seemed to think so, too.

"... awesome"

"I didn't know it was intact. Not only are you a great nobleman, but you are also a first-rate warrior..."

"I can't steal from you, that's why."

"I know. Me, too."

"Those Assassins aren't one of us, are they?

"Maybe."

"I wonder why you don't attack your sleep? Is it also a chivalry spirit? Even though it's Assassin."

"There's a powerful bond in the mansion. I can't help you if you go inside. They gave up yesterday."

"Uh, with Soyuko"

"Look, I can pick up your voice"

Shadows on ears with magic items like seashells.

I can hear a man from there. That's Lord Frank's. I'm grinning.

"... I don't have the money to pay the unsuccessful"

The shadows who hear it and snort.

"The purpose has been achieved. Let's get back out."

"So the goal was to make sure we couldn't steal it. Rikai. I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

Another voice,

"Don't be so rotten. Soon we (...) will have a chance."

That's what we discussed, and eventually the shadows left.

Like a shadow, like smoke, in an instant.

Dungeon Strategy Day Six.

Dungeon guild entrance, front.

"We'll get the item on the sixth floor first"

Teacher, good to see you, Anna started explaining.

Me and Prine say yes.

"I need the help of a blacksmith, do you know anyone? If you're not here, ask someone here."

I'll raise my hand.

"Oh, I'm alone"

"Suddenly, I'm sorry, but if you can come from now on, have them come. It'll be a blacksmith's experience. Okay, gear up and meet me at the entrance to the dungeon in two hours."

"Um."

"What could it be?

"Hey, is Anna coming too?

Hello, Anna, the receptionist.

"It's not natural. I'll take the lead."

"Hey, Anna, adventurer...?

"Oh, didn't I tell you?

Anna turns around in a circle. The axis is not braking at all. I can tell with one eye. Not the only one.

"Dancer's top position - this is Anna from" Songstress, "the singing princess. Nice to meet you."

I bowed gracefully with my skirt, puffing, and winking, and it was decided.

Seriously.

"And Larna,"

Anna laughed.

"You look great in that outfit."

"Very cute (...), Ra-kun!

Smile and nod until prine.

Yes, it is.

I moved to a clown, so I got my initial gear from my guild. That's good.

But the outfit is too flashy and embarrassing.

A red and yellow costume with asymmetrical left and right sides, wearing a hat that splits into two strands on his head.

"Clown, hey."

Anna laughs with a jerk.

I tapped my hat to see if I could do it.

"Oh, Ra-kun, no!"

"Ugh. Let's go get some protective gear, Prine."

"You're shopping!

"My goodness. Take off this damn clothes first. We'll talk about it later."

"Because she's cute, but no."

"Your gear's gonna be new, too. For the stronger one."

"I like it cute"

If she got any cuter, I'd be in trouble, so I stopped. Something is going to be misunderstood.

Prine picks up the two strands of hat I slapped and laughs shyly in the clown's hat.

"What do you say, Ra-kun?"

"Deadly cute"

It was me who answered unexpectedly. [M] Damn.
