Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 380

Rifa's mouth relaxes as her eyes narrow and she begins to answer Almond's question.

"If it were ,......, I'd do so preliminary research on the territory of Bardia, the location of the workshop, and the people coming in and out of the workshop in order to kidnap the fox people in Bardia. "

Her confident tone gave the impression that she knew everything.

I look at Rifa quizzically, but she doesn't care.

She seems to be enjoying herself.

After raiding the workshop, I'll split up the group to make sure we bring back the information. But I don't want to carry each of the kidnapped children in a scattered unit ...... with a small number of people. In order to move efficiently, they will probably et up in Bardia territory before crossing the border as you said.'

Rifa looked at and smiled.

I was not happy with the way she was acting, but I tried not to show it.

"I think you feel the sa way, too, Rifa. But the question is where they will et. Where would you choose ......?"

"Well, ......."

She put her hand over her mouth and pondered for a mont, then slowly pointed to a spot on the map with the index finger of her right hand.

It was in the middle of nowhere, a little south of where the borders of the Fox people, Barsto, and Bardia overlapped.

"I would go here. It's not on the map, but there are several secret huts near this place that rchants use to rest and trade. There, you can take the kidnapped children in disguised rchant wagons and cross the border between Zubera and Barsto ...... without being suspected."

What ......⁉"

I had never heard of such information.

But soon after, Diana muttered as if to add to the information.

'...... Indeed, that area is where rchants often gather. As you say, I have found a hut there several years ago when I was patrolling the Knights".

What did your father say at that ti?

"At that ti, Rainer-sama said that too many restrictions would provoke the rchants to protest and complain, so he gave them warnings and cautions and told them to tolerate them to a certain extent, as long as they did not go too far."

"I see. ......"

When the Knights discovered it a few years ago, Bardia had not yet developed to this level.

I understand the father's idea of tacit approval at that ti in order to develop the territory.

The question is what to think of this opinion expressed by Leafa, who is smiling suspiciously.

At that mont, Salvia's voice cos over the radio, "Master Rid, please respond imdiately.

"I'm sorry. I'll be out of the room for a while," I said, stepping out of the room and activating my communication magic.

"Hm . What's wrong? Did you get so new information?"

"Yes, I have. The air force, the 1st Flying squadron's Aria, discovered the attacker. They are currently tracking him at as high an elevation as possible so as not to be detected."

"......⁉ Well, thank you. By the way, the direction the attackers are heading is a little south of the point where the borders of Bardia, Zubera, and Barsto overlap, right?"

"Uh, wait a minute. ...... Oh, yes! How did you know?"

"There have been a few breakthroughs over here as well. I asked Aria and her team to continue tracking and reporting. Also, which squad is closest to the assailant?"

"Let's see... ......, the sixth division".

The sixth division is led by Lagarde, a foxman, with Noir as second-in-command.

"I understandTell Lagarde we're on our way. We will be there as soon as the charcoal truck arrives."

"Thank you, Master. I will let them know."

After the communication with Salvia was over, he took a breath and again heard a voice on the radio: "This is Serbia.

"This is Selvia. Master Rid, please respond. "

"What's wrong, Selvia?"

She is the younger sister of Salvia, the youngest of the three girls with whom I had been communicating earlier.

Her voice emanates from the radio again as she imdiately activates the communication and responds.

"The charcoal truck, in which I am also a passenger, will soon arrive at the inn specified by Master Rid."

'I see......... is that...Selvia is on board as well?

"Yes. I was selected for this mission because we sisters are the best at communication magic. I look forward to working with you!"

"I understand. We'll be waiting outside the inn."

"Awe!"

When I finished communicating , I went back into the room and told Almond and the others,

I just got so new information here, too. I think you were right about what you said earlier,"

When I looked at Rifa, she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"I'm glad I could be of assistance".

I've been secretly activating the electric field all along, but the emotions coming from her seem to be 'cheerful and fun' and there seems to be no hostility.

Therefore, I am not sure what this Reefa woman is thinking.

Then, Almond suddenly asked,

"So, Rid . What are you going to do now?"

I gave him a strong look.

"Of course, I'm going to be on my way there. I have a ride arranged for that."

"I see. ......"

He nodded his head and looked determined.

'I have a favor to ask of you, Rid. Let go with you. The fact that I t you in this way is a result of fate. Let help you until the end."

Almond ......

The feelings coming from him through the electric field were strong and warm, not hostile.

Without Almond, we wouldn't have been able to get such a good grasp of the attackers' movents.

I'm worried about Rifa, but I don't know if I can trust him.

Besides, I still have a lot of questions I want to ask him.

"All right . I'll ask for help from you, too."

"......! Thank you."

As he bailed happily, Rick, who had been standing by his side, stepped forward and bowed.

"I am afraid I must accompany you as Almond-sama's escort, if you don't mind."

"I understand". Rick answered, and turned his attention to Rifa.

"I will be with you as your escort, Master Almond. What about you?"

"I'm going to go to ......, I think. It sounds like fun, but I'm staying at the inn with Ridley. I'm having so much fun in Bardia, I think I got a little carried away. Hmmm..."

She smiled suspiciously at Ridley, who was shrinking in a chair at the back of the room.

Ridley's ears and tail flicked up when she noticed her gaze.

At that mont, Diana asked, "Master Rid, may I have a word?" She then left the room alone with Ridley.

"Master Rid, I am afraid it is dangerous to trust them so easily. There is a possibility that they are one of the attackers and are trying to trap us."

I nodded at her advice.

"Of course, I understand. But I think we should have a little faith in Almond, not in Rifa. And considering the advice and the map, I think it would be rather dangerous to leave them as they are. That said, we can't hold them. So I think it would be better to have them stay with us and keep an eye on them."

But ......," Diana tried to say sothing, but after staring into my eyes, she let out a sigh, "huh ......."

Then, with a sigh, she shook her head.

"I am sorry, But I ask that you keep this matter entirely confidential and report it to Master Rainer."

Ummm, yes. That's only natural. ......"

I was a little scared to imagine the look on my father's face when I reported directly to him, but I had no choice but to make up my mind.

Just when I was thinking that, a voice ca over the radio, "Master Rid, this is Salvia. We will be arriving soon.

I activated my communication magic and replied, " "Okay, I'll leave the inn right away," and returned to my room.

In the room, Rifa had returned to where she had been sitting earlier, and was once again hugging Ridley and squirming in his arms.

I looked at Almond and Rick.

"'I just got a call that a pickup will be here soon, so let's leave the inn."

"Okay."

Rick nodded and looked at Ridley, who was being petted on the head by Rifa like a doll, and smiled gently at .

'Well then, Ridley. Stay at ho with big sister, okay?"

'Ugh...... okay.......'

Ridley answered half-heartedly, but Leafa narrowed her eyes without stopping her hand.

Oh, dear. You don't have to be so disgusted. You are so cute. Mmm-hmm."

Almond chuckled at her answer and was about to leave the room with us when Rifa pulled back her hair and muttered, "Oh, yes, that's right.

I would disguise it as the carriage of the most trusted rchant association in Bardia.

'The most trusted trading house in Bardia: ......'

I recited those words and huffed, and Rifa looked at , frowning at Ridley.

'Yes,...... it's the Christie Trading Company."
