- Captain Barksby.
Approaching the gates of the town, the vigilantes serving as gatekeepers showed themselves.
He ca back in less than an hour to give us a surprised look.
When you left the gate earlier, you looked the sa on the number of crusaders.
Well, I wonder if there's a 55 crusaders every few decades. So I don't know what else to do.
"Captain, what's wrong? And, you know, the guys behind you..."
Marse, the oldest and compiler of vigilantes, asks with a bewildered look at the group walking a little further than we do.
In his gaze were the traitor vigilantes with their hands tied behind their backs and their hips tied with rope.
The vigilantes other than Marse seem to have noticed.
Looks like I'm being shocked by what my people look like.
I'm comparing what's going on with the people connected to .
"They betrayed us and detained us because they turned out to be part of the most problematic organization in this town. Cage them and keep an eye on them."
Raise your voice a little and explain the situation to everyone.
"What……………. Ok. Because of the large number of people, even if you used both the cage in the gatekeeper building and the cage in the filling, it would be three people at a ti, would you mind?
Marse gives my words a look that I don't understand for a mont what they said.
But I guess that's where the experience of working for the vigilante says things.
I seem to have changed my mind imdiately.
"No, leave five at a ti, not three, in the cage."
Run your gaze through my words to those who are constantly caught.
Looks like they're checking the numbers.
And you counted the numbers, leaning your neck.
"Besides the guys here, there's still the rest of the traitors in the stronghold we built yesterday"
Marse only stops moving for a mont in my words, giving a complex look mixed with sadness and anger.
But it also instantly returned to its usual face.
"Okay. It's a cage, but is it enough for five people at a ti?
Enough?
I have no idea how many people are pushing to the base.
Plus, there's a criminal group.
"No, two places isn't enough. Keep the conversation open so you can borrow all the cages of the Adventurer Alliance and the Comrcial Alliance. I hope that's enough..."
"Is that so? Okay."
The mont I said all the cages of both guilds, I got a bitter laugh at Marse, who opened his eyes slightly.
Seeing the look on my face like that, he also gave a grin that included sadness.
I've been a vigilante for years, but this ti it's a tough job.
He bows his head gently to and then turns to the vigilantes who are still staring at his people.
"Hey! How long have you been mocking ? Get to work! Throw the traitor into the gatekeeper's cage. Whatever you say, don't lend your ear. They're not one of us anymore, they're criminals who betrayed us. Tighten your fucking head!
"Ha, yes."
"Put five people in one cage at a ti. The rest are cramd cages. I don't have enough n on the lookout. Make an ergency rally on the nonstop guys."
'Yes!'
I can't help but feel like I'm letting another vigilante live.
Just because you're an ex-companion doesn't an you'll be perplexed forever.
Especially if there's a gap in your heart, you might listen and let them get away with sympathy.
I thought about choosing a team from the Crusaders to watch out for out for that worry, but if Marse is around, you'll be fine.
The rest of the crew seem to have changed their minds about his temper.
We're moving criminals in a move that doesn't show stray.
"Agrop, it would be okay to leave the watch to Marse and the others. When the captured ones break out, put down only a few who can be held down, and then let head to base."
"Okay."
Agrop has chosen five watchn to give instructions.
"Captain, can we get a little more people back to base?
Marl Leak, who handed over the caught adventurers to the vigilante, asks.
Tilt your neck to it.
Those who entered the stronghold must be sleeping with sleeping pills.
As a result, not so many people are needed.
"Is there sothing? I think we still have personnel..."
"If we mobilize all the vigilantes, we can secure the personnel, though. What's wrong, sir?
Looks like Agrop's back.
It was helpful because I know Agrop better than I do about personnel.
"Is that it? I'm planning on bluffing out people from the organization lurking around the base, haven't you heard?
'Huh?'
Ooh, this is the second ti today that Agrop and I have a voice.
I don't care about that.
"How are you going to do that? It's hard, isn't it?"
"Hmm? I plan to judge everyone around the base by magic items..."
I found my face catching on.
If you're sure to catch the lurker, that's the best way to do it.
But how many people are you going to check around the base?
"No way, that operation was done by that kid?
"Yeah, co up with sothing amazing."
"Pfft, Kukuk. I'd like to take a mont to talk to her when it's all over."
Agrop makes a small laugh.
I don't know what to say, who are you really? What about that Ivy kid?
"Gilmouth and the problem-free adventurers must already be on the move"
"Hmm? Have the adventurers done their research?
"That's not yet. I heard that when I finished checking the periter of the base, I would work on it. That's why we're short on manpower."
"Right. But is that also why you keep your hands open and caught so far at once?
I feel like I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Or is it necessary?
"Hmm? Sure... If vigilantes, adventurers, and organization officials around the base are caught together, the organization should suspect that the information is leaking. Cifal said it would slow things down."
"When we catch them all together, the organization leaks information?
"Eh, because I just heard Cifal talking to Ivy nearby. Ask the two of us for more information."
"Haha, roger. But is that okay with you?
"... I know I can hit the organization, so no problem!
... I hope it's simple.
Well, you ca up with a good idea.
Sure, if the hands that were letting you dive in were caught at the sa ti, don't suspect a leak.
I'm looking into it on a magic item, which is also a substitute that suddenly ca out yesterday.
The organization should not have confird the credibility of the information yet.
No, just a few of us still confird the existence of the magic item.
It is likely that the existence itself is not yet known.
Is that why it's now?
If you find out you're looking into it on a magic item, the information leak line disappears.
Now that we don't know how we're looking into it, can we make preparations to hunt down the organization?
If the operation does go well, we can create an environnt where the guys in the organization suspect the leak of information the most.
That's not all, I might even think about the possibility of a traitor inside.
Until now, I would have used those who were making dive in to find out.
But I can't use it this ti because I've already been caught.
If I were to examine this motion in this situation, I would be rather cautious.
Besides, the uncertainty about how far the information is leaking would slow down the movent.
Well, can we temporarily stop the movent of the organization with our work?
While they can't move, we'll make sure the paperwork we find is credible and we'll consolidate the evidence.
In order to do this, we need to capture the group, even if it's a slightly unscrupulous operation.
... My 9 year old thought of this?
Not Agrop, but I'd like to talk to you slowly when it's all cleared up.
"If that's what you're saying, I'll gather all the people who can move. Or I'll let you mobilize. From which neighborhood do you control toward the base?
... Although suppression would be different.
But Agrop seems to have the sa idea as .
No heart. My voice is up.
It was on the side of being cornered all the ti that all of a sudden there was a possibility that we could be in the opposite position.
Is it stranger not to be excited?
"Agrop, don't get excited and fail."
"Naturally. That's where that kid ate . You can't possibly fail."
Indeed.
You can't face that kid if you fail.
