Welcome to the Monsters’ Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

"I'm home."

Lys, who finished his meal with Letty, returned alone.

"Welcome back."

Then it seems that Merck, who was waiting in the digging cabin, greets him.

"Is that it? What about Letty?

Merck necks off that Letty wasn't supposed to be in town with him.

He said he was going back to the inn.

"Hmm, you know what?"

But Merck didn't take it very seriously that his colleagues abandoned their jobs.

"Is it good or is it so appropriate? You guys came to take me home, didn't you?

"Oh, yeah, but you can't just ignore your will."

Merck, who tells him that he respects Rise's will only.

"I hear the current captain told me to work on it so I wouldn't come back."

But Rise, who knows Merck's true intentions, denied his words outright.

"Who said that? Letty?"

There are faint signs of Merck.

Normally, there is a degree of change that I would not even notice, but the change can be clearly discerned in Rise, who has been dealing with demons that are different from human beings in appearance and that are even different in value from the seemingly unreadable expression.

"I know someone who told me. There are people out there who don't want me back."

"Heh, that's a friendly acquaintance."

On the surface, it was a Merck that I was working on, but I was deeply upset inside.

(Is it true that a spy from former General Muldo's side is inside Captain Frieda's faction? This is getting nasty. How did you fix it?)

Merck was confused. Rise's intention was not originally to return to the army, but if he finds out that the new captain is working here, he will be harassed and reintegrated into the army.

(I wish I'd stuck a ton of frogs in my senior room that I used to cause.)

But Rise's words were something that would bring the gospel to Merck.

"Don't worry, Merck. I'm not going back to the army. I'm going to live in this town."

"... is that right!? That's good!

Merck leaks the truth by accident.

"By the way, there was a spy from the Serga kingdom we caught the other day, right?

"Ugh, yeah. Now he's drugged me to sleep in a vigilante cell in this town."

Merck wondered why he had told such a story abruptly.

Then I go to one answer and the face is dyed blue.

"The poison you took out at that time, it looks like you prepared it."

"Huh!? What the hell!?"

It was a picture star.

But Merck, who thought that Sole would find out, works wisdom to do something to deceive him.

But Rise overlapped the words even more.

"In the first place, there can't be one enemy spy."

"Eh?"

It was a blind spot. Normally, yes, but it was inadvertent.

That too, he's only a knight. Because I'm not from the Operations Command, which plans the number of special forces and staff.

It was impossible to be too young to think about it.

"I hear they're here to scout for me. So there's no reason to prepare poison. I saw my people get caught, and they came into immediate contact, excused me."

"Hey, isn't it a detour to believe that so much about anything? That's who we've been fighting about!?"

Merck was convinced that this was the right statement.

It's the human language of an enemy country that has fought decades to this point, and it's too alarming to honestly believe that.

But there Rise took a small vial out of his nose.

"What do you think this is?

Is that the poison I took from the spy? Did you fish the Inn's luggage?!? "

Though a friend, Merck hangs a willow brow for an obviously rude deed.

"Relax, this isn't your stuff"

"Eh?"

When Rise rang his fingers, the dosari and loud noise dug up and rang outside the cabin.

Nevertheless, since there are no walls in the digging shed now, it is the correct expression to say that it is outside the roof.

When Merck looked back, there was a pile of men in black.

They're all unconscious, so there's no sign of movement.

But the costume was a different style of costume than the black outfit caught by Rise's shadow troops.

"What about him?

From a conversation with Rise, Merck wonders if he's a spy from a neighboring country.

"They followed you. They're special forces from our country."

"What!?"

Merck gives a surprise to the unexpected answer.

"It must be about finding out if you can fulfill your mission. One of them had this medicine."

Yes, I understood that Rise's shadow troops were not just spies from neighboring countries, but even the presence of spies from my own country.

These were already discovered in the eyes of the dragons who regularly went out to the Great Demon Forest, where they lurked, at the junction between Ketsey's information network and Arakune's yarn.

On the first day, he intentionally abandoned them, but as he captured the spies of the enemy countries, he let the demons capture them as negotiating cards.

"General Frieda didn't trust me......"

Merck is struck by the fact that he has a spy on his back.

But more than that, Merck was being pushed.

Though Rise says he's not willing to go home, as the use of his boss, whose friend kicked himself out.

Not only did I find out that I had come to interrupt my resumption, but the fact that I wasn't even trusted by that boss.

(I just thought, as a nobleman, that if you were obedient to your superior officer as a knight, your military status would be safe. And even when Rise returned, he ended up eating cold meals under the current general. Back won't do much.)

But there's nothing I can do about it.

Because it is true that he followed the orders of the new general.

"Hey Merck, why don't you make a deal?

"Huh?"

Merck is perplexed that Rise has torn the silent air more.

I was wondering what we would trade in this situation.

"These spies give it to you. That you've secured the identity of the spies caught negotiating with me."

"What do you mean?!?"

Merck is puzzled by the exact suggestion.

That's because it's too advantageous for Merck.

"I'm not going back to the army. And the army doesn't want me back either. I mean, I agree with the military."

"Well, that's right."

Merck nodding at Rise's words.

"But here's an enemy spy who wants to welcome me to his country. That's a problem for the Army, isn't it?

"Yeah, I'm in trouble. Very troublesome."

Merck nodded because that's what former General Muldo feared most.

"So the army will protect me. Don't let the enemy kill me."

"Huh?"

Once again, Merck rounds his eyes to unexpected words.

"Any attempt to use the poison will flow into the water. And the army doesn't want me handing over to the enemy country any more than they want me to come back. Then you'll have to protect me, won't you?

"So, but that's no matter how much. I mean, there's no way General Frieda would take that request!

Merck was puzzled that the new general who truncated Rise as unnecessary could spend more than reinstating Rise by allocating personnel and budget for Rise.

If you make a negotiation like that, you could be moved to the left.

"But this is how I disabled my country's proud special forces. I mean, it's impossible to start and finish without assassinating me and letting me take you to an enemy country. You know?"

"……… ah!?"

So much so that Merck finally sensed that Rise was trying to give himself a hand.

(If General Frieda here plots another assassination without receiving Rise's request, it's mostly the spy, no. The special forces are wiped out. If you are further displaced by your neighbor on that foot, Rise will turn entirely to the enemy. If you can't assassinate Rise and it goes against the will of former General Muldo, and the King, then General Frieda's self is ruined. Is that what the people who gave the information to Rise are for?

It's a complete misunderstanding, but it was true that Rise could defect himself to his neighbor while protecting himself from the assassins.

At any rate, he is protected by his demons for 24 hours, and when he escapes, all he has to do is hop on the back of the dragon and fly over the sky.

Fighting humans, which is also impossible in normal special forces specialised in assassinations, such as attacking enemies flying over the sky.

At this point, the new general's advance and retreat were packed.

I have to decide how to shake myself.

"I get it. I can take that suggestion. I will do everything in my power to support your demands."

Merck, who turned to Rise's side lightly, was using this information to work out a matrix for him to get a seat near General Frieda's side.

(I can attest to the presence of these spies that there are people who leaked information. And then when I tell them that I saved their lives and that I succeeded in convincing them not to go back to Rise, my value will jump. In the future, there is a high number of calculations in which the deputy commander, Commander Frieda, can be entrusted to the commander after his discharge. This is a better deal to get on Rise!

Merck had no philosophy or belief.

As a nobleman, he wanted to live freely in the future.

So I immediately approached Rise, the owner of beneficial abilities, and I immediately followed the orders of Frieda, the new commander.

He was, by the way, a flexible, long-running doctrine.

"Okay, well, here's to celebrating our future! I'll take care of it today!

"No, I've just eaten."

It was Rise who remembered a little anxiety over the lightness of his friend's footwork when he turned back lightly.
