“No. This is for when I make my rounds as the princess…”
This time, Re

Re
“Did something happen? You seem to be in a good mood. You look as if something pleasant has happened to you.”
Re
“Yeah! It’s really incredible! Climb did something amazing!”
She spoke like a young girl; perfectly fitting for the foolish princess who coughs up valuable information.
“Congratulations, your Grace.”
Although the maid skillfully hid the hostility she had towards Climb, she ended up revealing the feelings that she could not hide. That reaction caused a stir in Re

But Re
“It’s amazing! Really amazing! Climb defeated some really really bad people and freed all of the people who had been captured. Now they should be… um, he said that he left them somewhere in the guard station. Now we can punish the nobles who helped those bad people!”
“I see. That is really amazing. As expected, Re
Stupid girl, Re
She controls everything in the palm of her hand, all in order to obtain the object of her desire.
Lower Fire Month (9th Month), Day 3, 22:10
There was a suspicious looking group that looked as if they were melting into the darkness.
All of them each wore different equipment and their atmosphere was completely different from that of soldiers. If one had to mention who they smelled the closest to, perhaps it would be adventurers.
The one at the front was a man with a rough physique. Next was a lean man along with a woman wearing light silk. A person in a robe followed them from behind and lastly, there was a person wearing full plate armor.
In the direction that the group was staring in, there was a door that was opened wide. The inside was covered in darkness and there was no longer the presence of other people. Even when looking around the surroundings, there did not seem to be any people.
This was a strange. All of the goods that were in the brothel had already been seized and transported to one of the stations for soldiers. However, it was out of the question that they would not leave sentries behind just because there was nothing there. If one were to actually look towards the entrance that was empty of people, they would see a bright bonfire and realize that they were keeping vigil at night. But the reason that no one could be seen was because those people used their authority to temporarily remove the sentries.
The boulder-like man standing at the front— Zero, sent a terrifying gaze to the captured brothel and spoke in a low voice, as if he found it despicable.
“What a farce. I’ll have to apologize to Cocco Doll. I lent him Succulent, a member of Six Arms and they still fell this easily. And it was even on the same day… truly, what a farce.”
Zero sent a sharp glare over his shoulder at the snickering that came from behind him. The woman who was wearing the light silk knew Zero’s personality well and quickly changed the topic.
“Ah, right right. So boss, what should we do? Do we kill Succulent who got caught? He’s at a station so it’ll be hard to use force. Then we’d have to borrow an assassin from a different division… what do we do?”
“No, we won’t do that. He’s still useful. I will request the Count to have him released immediately. …This will become an unexpected expense. Find out the Count’s tastes.”
The thin, frivolous-looking man asked a question.
“And Cocco Doll?”
“He will likely use his own co
“There has been no news on that front. To be more precise, I haven’t heard of any further details on the matter.”
The voice coming from the robe was dark. It was like an empty echo flowing out of a hole in a graveyard that sent shivers down the spine.
“That is something that I am very eager to get my hands on. It can be used to make all kinds of threats.”
“Don’t say something so stupid. If we kept that with us, it would only make us look more suspicious. Others may think that we had pla
At Zero’s words, the lean man shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
“Anyways, I’ll go in later and try to find out what happened to the list. If they have it, it’s probably in a secret safe or something. …With that said, this is pretty amazing. How was this hole made? The weapon… was it magic?”
