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

"The blockade of the King's capital is complete. All you have to do is send out the Knights in each compartment and look for the treasure!

General Frieda proclaims with dismay at his own swift action.

……

At the same time, Merck was holding his stomach against his boss's odd behavior, which was unexpected.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"No, I have a little stomachache"

"Hmm, that's not going to work. You are an excellent deputy to me. You should rest a while."

The fate of the thief has already been exhausted. Convinced that she would just wait after, Frieda cares kindly for her subordinate, Merck.

"Yes, no! I can't tell you how sweet this is in an emergency! Until the case is solved, I will powder myself to work for this Merck, General!

"... hey, right! That's my man! Great loyalty! Even former General Muldo won't have any loyal men so far!

He was in a good mood, General Frieda, but Merck's insides weren't there.

(Please don't be an idiot! I don't know what it would be like to let you go wild in this situation!

It was a statement by General Frieda, who could normally be described as a gentle boss, but in the present situation it was foolish to miss the rampage of a boss who acted out of view everywhere.

Merck thought it would be better to work even if there was a hole in his stomach to leave his boss running wild.

(Oh, my stomach really hurts......)

His stomach ache has only just begun.

"It's the Tend Knights! We got a report that a vicious criminal has escaped into this area! Let me change the house!

"" Ew!? "

The men stiffen themselves to the voice.

But the door never opened, and if I listened carefully, I could hear the noise coming from my neighbour's house.

"Hey, what are you guys!?"

"I work for the Knights! Be quiet and let him look into it!

"... you've been looking for us!?"

"Well, I guess. Hey, get out the back door while you can."

"No, probably not on the back either."

Since the landlord's man lived only in Wang Du to gather information and secure a safe house, he seemed inconsistent with the Knights' manoeuvres.

"Hey, come here"

When a man calls out in the back of the room, a nani who was nodding around in the corner comes under the man.

"Look, hide this and transform it into..."

When a man orders that, Sole changes his snort.

"Oh, oh!?"

The man of the landlord who was watching the sight gives a surprise voice.

Then, where the shape of the sole had completely changed, the sound of knocking on the door of the house sounded.

"It's the Tend Knights! We got a report that a vicious criminal has escaped into this area! Let me change the house!

The door opens and the knights come inside without obtaining permission from the man who is the landlord.

"Change the house, family members cooperate in the investigation without resistance!

By order of his superiors, the knights fish inside the house as soon as they have allowances.

"Hey, who's the landlord?

A commander and a thought knight speak to the landlord's man.

"Wow, I am the Lord of this House"

I think defiance is suspicious, and the landlord's man honestly answers the knight's question.

"Didn't you see a human with a gem about this size? I don't care if it's the same amount of baggage. It was stolen from a certain place. If you saw it, tell me honestly."

The knight shows the size of the gem with his own hands and asks the landlord's man a question.

"Well, uh, if I show off something like that around here, they'll definitely attack the rough guys, so I was wondering if anyone would carry it so that it looks promising. It's about the size of a shopping bag, so we still don't know."

"Fumu, right? By the way, who are the two behind you?

The knight turned his eyes to the two men and women behind the landlord's man.

"Oh, these two are distant relatives. I came all the way to Wang capital to say hello to my grandfather, but as you can see, my stomach grew up and I thought I'd let you heal my fatigue for a while."

Indeed, the landlord was right, the woman's stomach was swollen greatly.

"I see...... but this is also my job. I'm sorry, but I need you to look in your clothes."

"Huh!?"

A woman trembles at the knight's words.

"Hey, no, you don't have to take it off. I don't mind if you just turn the cloth on the belly. If some women pretend to be pregnant and hide stolen goods."

The knight's words were true. Sometimes criminals who deal in stolen goods carry their luggage in disguise. Because some of them are not uncommon for women dressed as pregnant women.

……

When the woman looked at the man leaning beside her, the man snorted and urged the woman.

"It is the order of the knight. Let's do as I say."

When a woman nods again at the man's words, she shyly turns her clothes and shows her stomach.

"... uh, you're definitely a weight body. I'm sorry, it's time to put it down."

When the knight says so, the woman also turns bright red on her face and returns her clothes.

"Captain! There was no object of interest!

"This one too!

"Right, we're going to the next house!

When the captain, the knight, commands, the knights quickly withdraw.

"Hmm, uh, I'm sorry about that. This is a nuisance charge to the wife. Now you should eat something nourishing."

So when the landlord's man let him hold a few pieces of copper coins, the knight also left the house again.

"…… Ha, I'm freaking out."

"You said it well."

The men weaken and enter the floor.

"Fuck you, you fucked up people's homes"

The landlord's man was right, and the knights had left the house without a scratch.

"But, well, it's more than anything I've managed to do. You can go back now."

That's how a man sees a woman.

"I didn't expect you to turn into a pregnant woman."

As the landlord's man looks at the woman seriously, the woman's body collapses and slimes.

"Shapeshifter, a demon who can change shape to any figure. But I can't speak human language, so I need to stick it in my body and put it in like clothes."

That's how a man takes things up on the surface of a shapeshifter's body.

Sole was the jewel the man stole from General Frieda, no, from Rise, the magic treasure of the sealed demon.

"You can also see the human face of the Knights, who also have a view of the current Knights Commander's mansion. And I got this treasure too. All we have to do is get out of the capital."

"How are you going to get out?

"Ask Koz to help us with that, too. He walks around town wearing his knights and examines the faces and tones of the knights making emergency lines. Repeat that and step out one by one, joining his companions who will be waiting outside the Wang capital to give him the art treasure. It will take a while, but I don't know when the emergency line will be solved if it stays this way. I'll be back regularly because I have time to transform him."

That said, the man strokes the shapeshifter.

"Okay, be careful with that."

"Don't worry, no one can spot his transformation."

"Sure."

The men had a laugh.

Without noticing the presence of a small shadow eavesdropping on their conversation from outside the window.

◇

"I've been gathering information!

At night, the demons who were gathering information return to Rise.

"Tired, did you get any good information?

"I don't know..."

For some reason, Ketsey looks like she has a bad tooth cut.

"What? You didn't get the information? Well, it's my first day, and I'm not sure I'll get the information right away."

"I don't think so. I got the information. I know who stole the treasure."

"Well, that's not a problem at all."

As Rise said, you should be glad to find the killer who stole the exorcism treasure.

"Sure, but the information is too chaotic."

Ketsey starts to get hairy in a more serious atmosphere than he usually feels comfortable with.

"Report first. It's my husband's job to use that information."

Encourage Arakune to disclose information to troubled Ketsey.

"…… yes."

Determined to do so, Ketsey began to talk about the information she had gathered with Ston on Rise's lap.

"Whoever stole the art treasure is the leader of the Knights of the Kingdom of Tend."

"Captain Frieda!?"

Rise couldn't hide his surprise in the name of the real killer.

(assuming the Knights captain why!? Was the captain a part of the devil's followers!? Or a traitor connected to a neighboring country!?)

"The reason I stole it is to harass your husband."

Rise fell into bed.

"…… Are you an idiot?"

It was a heartfelt crush.

Because I never thought a person who would keep a knighthood of a country would imitate this silly for such a shoboyish motive.

But the treasure was stolen by another human being.

"Huh!?"

Rise up immediately and see Ketsey.

"It was a spy from a neighboring country who stole it, and now he's hiding in the safe house of one of his spies."

"Where?

"Brown roofed private house on the second street from the outside of the west side of the Wang capital"

"Here we go."

"But it's hard to get there because the knights are blocking the road. Besides, there are demons out there."

"The enemy demon, after all."

"The knights of the country were looking for them, but they were turned into demons that changed their appearance and missed them."

"What am I doing"

A frightening rise.

"Sounds like the killer is going to use the demon to transform to go outside the king's capital and give the treasure to his people waiting outside."

"Hmm, that's not good. What if I ask my successor to secure the enemy who is outside the King's capital? Pixie, can I get back to you?

"Yes! Whoa, whoa!

Pixie, the fairy who was relaxing on the back of a plackdog, jumps up.

"I'll go chat and tell them, so it's nice to have your reward honey!

Pixies and fairies prefer flower nectar. Especially this pixie who signed with Rise loved honey and sneaking into people was stealing and licking honey.

To steal honey too often, a crusade was requested from a troubled villager and Rise headed to capture him. And Pixie was caught in the trap lightly, but she didn't think it would be sneaky to kill a fairy that didn't exactly hurt people, and Rise decided to sign a deal with him to destroy them.

Most importantly, it is doubtful whether there is a concept of the covenant of sin because it is not a fundamental reflection, but it is a pixie of creed.

"Well, then, next time, it's about the killer."

Having confirmed Pixie's exit from the window, Rise considers securing the killer lurking in the King's Capital.

"Hey town, that's not all."

"Do you still have something?

Ketsey waits for Rise, who tried to figure out a way to secure the killer.

"That's right. In fact, the other day at the entrance to the king's capital, the holy knights who were obsessed with your husband are making a scene about getting into the king's capital."

"The Holy Knights!?"

The reappearance of the Holy Knight had itself sought to deepen the level of confusion.
