"Well, ...... assassination and information gathering."



　Oddly enough, it is a request in the area in which I am most proficient.

　And you'd be surprised how much grace there is. .......



"Perhaps I should thank the Princess ......?　No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."



　I was released and once again looked over the materials in my hand.

　I thought there would not be much information since he just showed up suddenly and offered it to me, but surprisingly, there was a good amount of information including a profile of the opponent's behavior patterns that were known at this point in time.

　I could say that the important cards of the Duchy of Celestia in the Battle of Cologne are all here.



"This is the commander-in-chief on the Cologne front: ......"



　Neve-Gil Clyde.

　Ranked general. The Duchy of Celestia is supposed to have less than ten generals, so he is a valuable general of the highest rank.



"Assassinating the commander-in-chief out of the blue is not going to yield results for the difficulty involved, so we'll have to put it off."



　If an assassination attempt is made, if the commander is good, the effort to break through his defenses is wasted.

　Instead of wasting time on that, it would be better to break it from other easier places.

　On the other hand, if the assassination succeeds easily, the commander is incompetent to begin with and cannot influence the crowd.

　It may be possible to upset them in a clash on the battlefield, but it is meaningless if the person dies unnoticed and is replaced by someone else who can do the job.



This Clyde guy, though, is probably the former."



　This can be seen from the fact that the Cologne front has maintained its superiority ever since it was set up.

　If he is such a good general, he would make his own defense his top priority. He must understand the importance of his own existence.



"First, we must gather information."



　He disposes of the list and constructs the route in his mind.

　On the thirteenth day, if I don't bring a souvenir, Awen is practically dead.



"Let's go."



　Infiltration into enemy territory.

　We set out for our first target.



　◇ ◇



Welcome home. Master."

"Oh?　New guy. Come to my room tonight. I'll personally instruct you.

"I will be happy to serve you at ......."

"Hmm. It's a sight to see. I'll look forward to it.



　We see Sir Rostel, the owner of the house, leaving in a good mood.

　I had infiltrated the house as a maid because I thought it would be easy to give him credit for his unparalleled love of women, a fact that I was able to corroborate through subsequent investigations. .......



"That's more than I expected. ......"



　I have been cross-dressing, infiltrating, and in some cases, entangling, but it is rare to find a partner who stirs up such physiological hatred in me.



"He was a viscount who ruled this area and was the target of an assassination attempt. Let's get some information out of him and get the job done while we're at it."



　We prepared for the night.
