Side: Yuki
Yes. I, Yuki, have infiltrated one of the cities which seems to be part of the Zilba empire
Um, Yuki-san. Its a serious infiltration You dont have to report everything like they do in a program report
Its okay, Tori. Its more fun this way, isnt it?
Listen for a second, okay? Im sure you understand, Riel, that even with Doppel we cant use human bodies, so only Yuki-san and Ria have infiltrated into the enemy city
I fully know that, its going to be okay, okay
Are you sure?
As you can see from the conversation between them, there is a weakness in Doppels body, and such is that its difficult to move the body when this its different from the original body.
It seems that its difficult to control when the senses change too much.
As for , I only changed a little my size and shape of my body, but I didnt go so far as to change my race.
I dont understand the sensation of how cat ears and rabbit ears move.
Mauve and the others have just gotten used to Doppel, so if they were to change Doppels shape a bit, they wouldnt be able to use it and wouldnt have brought them with .
Ria gave a completely different impression from when she was wearing ordinary and simple armor now that she is wearing hero equipnt, so she followed .
Right now doppels body is like Kiyus.
Even though I wanted to make a joke using CALL, you are harsh
Yes. The sll is really harsh
This is truly like dieval Europe.
Ive never been there, but its like the 100 years war era, sothing like that?
If you leave the main street and look into the alley a little, the sll of human waste hangs in the air, even human corpses are rolling around.
Should I say that its a natural view given they are in a war?
This town is called Fail and is part of the Zilba Empire territory.
About three months ago, this territory still belonged to the Holy country Enaria but they lost it or so it seems.
I just got all this information by coming into contact with the townspeople.
The only place left to gather information its a tavern, I suppose
Yes. I believe that a bar or even an inn are good places to gather information
Ah, thats right, there was the inn too. Or rather, we should first ensure where we are going to sleep and talk to the inn owner?
I think we should do that. Since we dont even know where the tavern is
I dont want to go to a bar and end up involved in a fight.
Its like Ria said, its unlikely that an inn would treat their guest badly, so we should gather a lot of information after first looking for an inn. A tavern should be our last option.
Besides, its not worth going there during the day.
I wonder where there could be an inn~? Lets try asking at that store
Yes
For now, we make our way towards a store that caught our eyes.
Hey, welco. What kind of weapon are you looki- it seems that you aint ere to buy, nii-chan
Ah, do I look like that?
Sohow. The armor you are wearing, is brand new, right?
Yes
That girl overe also has quite fine items. They were made by a very skilled guy, aint that right?
Ooh, its indeed like that. I asked an acquaintance with good skill
Rather than being skilled, its a cheat class type of skill.
Well, we are looking for an inn. Okay, give this knife
As I said so, I took a bunch of knives that looked like throwing knives.
You know yer stuff, eh? One silver coin and thirty iron coins
Here
I took out the money from my wallet.
In this new continent, there is a currency with a lower value than copper coins, and it is iron coins. One copper coin is made of 100 iron coins, and the iron coins are counted in ten.
It seems that iron coins as currency existed in the other continent too, but due to the constant wars and fights against monsters, iron is used primarily as weapons or farming tools.
Its easy enough to use to not to have to do detailed calculations.
Well, its not like I dont understand, but for soone like who lived in Japan using yen coins, I cant accept that they dont have one similar to the 100 yen.
Oh, if its about the money, its from the soldiers from the Zilba empire that we captured.
Well, your stuff is mine, sothing like that. Just think the good luck you had by not losing your lives.
Well, thats right. Young man, what are you wishing for?
Let see. Im not looking just for a place to sleep, but a place where the food is delicious
If its like that, then go east on this street, and youll find an inn called Rabbit. I recomnd that place
Thanks. Ill co back if I need sothing in the future
Youre welco. Dont you die working as rcenary, you hear ? It wont be fun dying at such age
I fully know that
After saying that, we left the weapon shop.
An old man who likes people
Yes, he even told us to not die. It may be part of his trade, but he didnt tell us anything shady. If trust is lost, it will also affect their business. If sothing cos up, we should go there to talk
Yes. For now, we are going to the inn, right?
Well, I dont know which side is east, but Im sure well find it if we continue walking
People who live in the city will know which direction to take, but because we arrived recently, we dont know which side is east and west.
Oh, it seems we were lucky
Indeed. Rabbit, this is indeed the inn that old man recconded
After walking the path we choose, we found a sign that says Rabbit.
And then we enter the inn.
Ou, welco. Are you staying? Or for a al?
As we step inside, a friendly old man welcos us.
Unlike the weapon stores old man, this one has delicate features.
We are planning to stay with als included. Two people
Ou, then its three silver coins for a night. You may think its expensive but the cooking is worth it
Its the food the old man from the weapon shop recomnded it, Im looking forward to it
I said so and placed nine silver coins.
If we stay for three days, then Im sure well be able to gather information.
What, you were referred by that person? Then I cant slack off. Dinner will be ready two bells from now on. But please be down there in the dining room before the fourth bell
I understand. Wheres the room?
Yours is room 204. Here, the key. Dont lose it, or youll be fined two silver coins, understand? The room is upstairs at the right
Thank you
I received the key and went to room 204 with Ria.
Fumu, should I say that everything is going well so far?
Yes, though it was not easy even on the other side, I believe?
I know only Weed after all
That place is just an abnormality
Room 204 has only two beds, a table in between and a closet. It feels like a business hotel.
These beds cannot possibly compare to wooden beds, but its well-cleaned and as Ria says, its a good inn.
Well, should we take a break?
I let go of my bag in my bed and sit down.
Ria also puts the bag on the floor and sits on the opposite bed.
That reminds , there is sothing I wanted to ask, is okay if I ask you sothing??
What?
Even when we were scouting, I believe the people in that village were a little too rude
Ah, thats what you wanted to ask? Well, given their position, its natural to be t with such attitude
Its natural, you say?
The reason we are scouting is because the people of that town intentionally let the soldiers escape and now we found ourselves in such a situation that we have no choice but to fight.
From our point of view, its unreasonable to surrender to such demands, but from that town point of view, it was the only option they had.
I see what you an. But you believe that if we had disposed of all those soldiers, they wouldnt co again?
Thats impoissible
Correct. On the contrary, even if they escape, you will know that many enemies will co, right?
Yes
So, we dont have another choice but to abandon that village and run away. However, with our help, they were able to repel the Zilba empire without any damage. Thats why they clung to us
Clung?
Yes, to make sure we didnt escape, they thought about giving us the chance to beco independent
However, isnt it too reckless to release the hostages on their own accord?
Well, they are taking us lightly because we saved them. Thats the reason why they let the hostages escape without our permission. Otherwise, we wouldnt have been involved
I understand now
For the other side, the outco of that battle would have been the perfect propaganda to gather all the other beastfolk, elves, and other races under them. However, if we had not been at the center of that battle, even if they rally all there forces they would have lost, right?
In-Indeed
So they had to make sure that we were on their side. Well, they cant even imagine us being leaders of another country. But I think that way its more convenient, that they think of us as rcenaries
Im convinced now. If its like that, then I can see that they had no other option
Well, I cant say that Im not completely dissatisfied. In the first place, We were the ones who ran to their aid, so we should take care of them to so extent
We were the ones who ddled into their problems, so well, it cant be helped.
However, there are not only disadvantages.
Lets just enjoy dinner for today and eat so food while talking with the inns owner and the clerk
Wont we go to the tavern today?
Nn A tavern is basically a place to look for hidden information. It cant be helped if we dont have ti, but we are free now, so lets go to gather information. After all, theres no ntion of soldiers being repulsed by us
Now that you ntion it, thats right
Yes, there should be soldiers who have escaped in this city, but for so reason, the city is not in a hurry to prepare for war.
Is the information still being sorted out or is so bigshot arbitrarily moving their soldiers and its taking their ti?
Rather, even if we hear so behind-the-scenes information at the bar, we cant judge the truthfulness of it.
Well, lets gather information seriously starting from tomorrow
I understand
*Dogon*
Rias reply was drowned out by such sound.
What?
What could it be?
We looked into the window together. It sounded like it ca from a nearby place.
It should be there
Indeed, there
The place where the sound cos from was imdiately understood. After all, a cloud of sand was rising flashily.
Lets try going there?
We are free right now, and it will be perfect to kill ti
I dont have anything to do until dinner, and sotis I want to be a curious onlooker and look at quarrels.
When we arrived at that place, there were already a lot of people.
However, since we ca early, we managed to get in the front row soway.
I dont need a person in my party who cant even block an attack of this extent
Guuu
In front, a woman with beautiful erald green hair that extends to her shoulders is Wha- erald green!? As always this world is still full of strange colors!!
To make it simple, the color erald green is like the jewel.
Also, whats with that over-decorated armor? Besides, is there a aning to your equipnt? Your stomach can be fully seen, you know. I dont understand it at all!!
And the person next to you!! That close-aide like person has blonde hair an also has a side ponytail.
You, are you planning to go to the battlefield like that!? At least make it into a normal ponytail.
The area near the breasts looks strangely large, but I wonder, is the inside the real thing?
Oh, my wives also have a drill hairstyle but only on one side, well, the other party is a princess so it should be acceptable.
It cant be, it cant be, Im desperately tsukkomi-ing as if I were a woman.
Whats important is to know the cause of this uproar
Thinking like that I continued observing, the close aide-like person ca up and stood in front of the fallen man.
Now, hurry up and disappear from our sight. My princess is now going to war. Dont get in princesss way
You said in her way!!?
The fallen man stands up.
A group of n who seed to be this mans friends began to gather around.
In the first place, its natural for that princess to be strong!! She has that magic sword after all
That man aid his sword at that erald its botherso, to that green hair woman.
Oh, so thats a magic sword, eh.
Though I dont know how strong that princess is, that magic tool is still working even in this continent.
According to all the information Ive gathered so far, even magic tools have fallen under the effect of the magic depletion except cheat class items or magic stones.
Thats why, what that princess has in her hands, its rare in this new continent.
Im sure she wont give it away for research
Haaa, what Im saying is that you were a problem even before. I wont let guys like you cause trouble to the princess. I alone am enough
What the heck did just you saaaay!!
Since the princess was concerned and said such a thing I looked silently, but I dont want us to waste more ti against soone who cant judge his own power. Do you understand?
Ignoring the n, the green-haired princess behind preached.
Forgive . Im sorry Jessica, so please forgive already
Haaa
Ah, for so reason that woman called Jessica or sothing, her back overlaps with and Steve when we are swayed by Seraria!!
At last, the n pulled their weapons as if they had lost their temper and rushed at the princess and Jessica.
Die!!
Wait, dont scream if you are going to make a surprise attack!
The green-haired princess-san leaves it to Jessica as she had declared and jumps backward.
As if to prove what she had said was not a mistake, Jessica pulled out her sword and easily took care of the five n.
Well, in the end, the five n fell on the ground in an instant.
Oooo!!
The crowd cheered.
Umu, this sort of thing is not bad. Isnt that right, Jessica?
But if you do sothing like this, youll trouble the guards of the city
These two were chatting like that, and so their reaction was delayed.
Dont laaaaaaugh!!
It seems that one of the fallen n was a magician and was collecting magic power into his wand, and such delay in their reaction allowed the magician to fire a fireball at the crowd.
Wha-!!
Jessica screams in surprise while the green-haired princess pulls her magic sword trying to deal with it however
Its dangerous so dont involve the crowd!
Im resistant to such attacks so there is no problem with .
One way to negate the magic power is by emptying the magic power by applying the magic power depletion.
Well, it would have been easier to make it disappear with another fireball, rather than use spatial magic to make it disappear since its too inconvenient to control it.
This ti we took such asures so that the crowd would not suffer any damage.
Thats wrong, the main reason is that it flew in my direction.
If it had flown in another direction I would not have interfered.
Now, the uproar seems to be over, so lets return?
Yes, lets return
After looking at the n being dragged off by the guards we tried to leave, but
Wait a second. That man over there
Eh?
Jessica who was explaining to the guards monts ago, calls out for so reason.
The princess wants to
You, wont you beco mine!!?
From the side, the green-haired princess ca and declared so.
Whats with this kind of flag?
No thanks, I have dinner ready so I need to return. Co on, lets go Ria
Eh? Um Yes. Excuse us
Ria bows to both the princess and Jessica then follow .
Alright, weve parted naturally.
Was that okay, princess?
Haa!? I was rejected too ordinary so I ended shocked!!
Indeed, even I ended surprised. Could they be travelers? Leaving aside , not knowing who the princess is
Jessica, well follow them!! That man and even that woman who was with him could be the sa as you or even more. Ill definitely have them as my subordinates!!
Eh!? To that extent!!
These two ca running, but I already disappeared in an alley.
Now Im hearing their conversation with wind magic.
It seems that even you didnt notice. Im not the one who erased that stupid guys magic. It was that man
Moreover, he even tries to make it happen as if my magic sword was the one that made that magic fade. Despite the lack of power, the ability to pull that off without any kind of casting is too valuable!!
Indeed, you are right. Im sure they turned around here
Good, lets go after them! They cant be far!!
Yes!!
Wow, I wonder if she may be that skilled if she was able to notice such a thing?
Once they entered the alley, I went to the main street and returned to the inn.
Is that okay?
At least for today, lets have a leisurely dinner
Saying so, I regretted my curiosity
Curiosity killed the cat.
Haa
