"Huh?　Something flew in, Commander. Isn't that the bird the Commander has?"

"Hmm?　Yeah, it's true. A tracking bird. I wonder what's going on."

　The Barka mercenaries who took the Jumaki from the lumberyard.

　We carried what we could carry on our backs, and tied larger logs and squared timbers together like a raft and floated them on the water of the Gulu River.

　The raft and the boat that we had been riding in would then take us downriver.

　On the way down, we saw a tracking bird flying after us.

　Incidentally, we are going in the opposite direction for the return trip.

　The Orient is upstream from the lumberyard.

　In the past, when we returned from the lumberyard, we used to go down once in order to attract the other party, but we continued to go upstream as if we were going to turn back.

　But that is not possible now.

　Originally, the Gulu River was a rather wide river and its flow was calm.

　Therefore, under normal circumstances, we could return home against the current of the river if we paddled hard enough.

　However, this time, the storm has increased the force of the water.

　Considering the time when the current was calm, the water flow has probably calmed down, but the current is still very fast.

　So, with the raft of soft magic wood as our luggage, we floated it on the water and headed for the river bank, which is different from the direction of the country of Gulugaria.

"Is there something urgent?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe. I have a letter wrapped around the leg of my tracker bird."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the river, a small piece of paper was wrapped around the leg of a tracking bird that had perched on my shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I find it and immediately check the contents of the paper.

　It said, in short, "An assassin is coming.

"An assassin will be sent to you..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　To the Commander?　May I see it? ...... No, I can't read this. I don't know, it's not from around here, but is that the assassin being sent?　I wonder if it has something to do with that thing you mentioned briefly before about the Commander being scowled at by the Soma cult?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. Maybe it would be better to talk to him directly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In person?　You mean you're going to talk to the assassins who come here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course not. It's from the guy who sent the letter. Answer it, aye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even I wouldn't talk to an assassin, no matter what.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead, I decided to talk to Ai, who may have written this letter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai's handwriting is the same as that of Kyle's brother and the one in the [telecopy], so I can recognize it at a glance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is definitely Ai who wrote this letter.

　Incidentally, a person like Walter, who was born in this small group of nations, would not recognize the letters of the United Kingdom of Fontana.

　This is also a code in a sense.

　With this in mind, I dig my hand into my magic bag and look for a spirit stone with a magic circle drawn on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He takes it out and activates it with magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A human figure appears from the stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An eye, which dwells in a divine spirit, appeared on the ship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, wow! It's always amazing to see, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Right?　So, what's going on, Ai?　I got a letter saying assassins are coming, did you get any information?　Is the Soma cult on the move?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, sir. The assassin was released from the Orient. They belong to a dark sect called the Shadow Men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Orient?　Did they get mad at you for robbing the lumberyard?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right. Now, there has been a discussion in the council about it and it has been decided that an assassin will be sent to Mr. Alphonse. Both Mr. Banagher and Ms. Laura have been taken into custody and are under house arrest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, the assassins are coming from the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That doesn't sound good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this is crazy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait a minute. This doesn't make sense. Weren't we told about the attack on the lumberyard beforehand?　He said that the person with whom he made the futures contract had run away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This action was initiated on a spur of the moment and on the spur of the moment, but it is the right thing to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We told them that before we attacked them.

"You raised this issue in the Congress as well," said Mr. Laura. However, the person in charge, who was supposed to have received the report, claimed that he did not know or had not received the report. As a result, it was dismissed as if there had been no contact and the Barka mercenaries were found to have opened the war without permission.

"I see. So we're supposed to be totally at fault. So, I guess the meeting of the council ended without me. I wonder if Laura and the others are okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So far, there is no sign of any harm being done to you, Laura. Mr. Banagher says that the target is the interests of Barca after the death of Mr. Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. "Hmm. I was surprised to see you out of the blue, but it looks like you've been targeted before."

"What are you going to do, Commander?　I don't know what kind of people these shadow people are, but I think they're dangerous."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I guess so. Anyway, I'll take a fight when I'm offered one. Well, first we have to think about surviving the assassins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is getting interesting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've been feeling a little pent up because there hasn't been much fighting lately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And now someone close to me has given me someone to fight with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A shadow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what he's like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was getting a little excited when I heard Ai's report.
