"Sorry, Mr. Mayor. This is an apology."

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

"Oh, is that all right?　I am very happy to receive such a valuable gift."

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

"Fine, fine. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you. But if you can, it would be helpful if you could tell the people in this village not to say anything about what happened here for a while.

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

"Okay. That's all I ask. I will be responsible for telling him.

　An assassin attack in the village.

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

　It ended in the assassin's death.

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

　In the end, there were no other assassins among the mercenaries.

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

　The villagers do not know.

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

　There was no Barka church here in the first place.

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

　I thought I might be able to find the assassins in the form of a trial if I performed a blood wedge, but I did not go that far.

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

　There were so many people in the village that I couldn't afford to do that, and that would have brought the assassins closer to us.

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

　So we decided to eat quickly and leave the village.

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

　Ignoring the village people who are all freaking out, we eat our meal and leave.

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

　In my last speech, I handed the pot-shaped magical tool to the village chief.

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

　Do not tell anyone that an assassin has appeared in our village.

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

　I told the chief that and gave it to the villagers as a gift so that they would keep it safe.

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

　In fact, it's impossible to keep one's mouth shut.

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

　But I hope it is not meaningless.

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

　If indeed the two assassins are the only ones who appeared here, then it means that no one knows that the assassins failed.

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

　This would be a unique opportunity.

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

　The assassin we had no clue about has finally revealed himself to us.

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

　We are done waiting to be attacked like before.

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

　Now we can attack them.

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

（Don't we have to suck their blood, Alphonse?)

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

（I guess I'll hold off for now. I don't know if it was magic or witchcraft he used, so let's not do it.)

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

　After greeting the chief, we left the village and Norn sent us a thought.

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

　Their blood, I suppose you mean the blood of the assassins.

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

　Norn wanted to suck the blood of the assassins who had disguised themselves as Zen and Walter.

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

　But I stopped him.

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

　The reason is the mimicry used by the shadows.

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

　It doesn't matter if it was magic like Meteor or Black Death Butterfly.

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

　Because Norn's blood will allow me to use that magic.

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

　I think I have nothing to gain but basically nothing to lose.

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

　However, I am a little concerned about the case where it is magic instead of witchcraft.

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

　Because when Norn sucked the blood of Meteor, I became able to use [Meteor], and I also learned the magic of [Land clearing], [Soil improvement], [Wall building], etc. of Ars's magic.

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

　And I know from my past experience that when I name other people, they will be able to use those magic spells, too.

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

　In other words, if I suck the blood of the shadows here and obtain the magic of [mimicry], the former orphans and mercenaries whom I have named will be able to use [mimicry] too.

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

　This is indeed a bad idea.

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

　In any case, the new Barca Town and the like would be in turmoil.

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

　Therefore, there was a problem that the mysterious technique used by the assassin is difficult to suck blood unless we know what it is.

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

　Therefore, we decided to collect only the body and reserve judgment for the time being.

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

　However, the taste of blood gets worse as time goes by, so Norn may not be able to suck the blood.

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

　Well, for now, let's follow the trail of the assassin who appeared.

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

"Let's split up. We'll split up into two groups. One group will take the Juma-gi back to the new Barca town, and the other group will go after the assassin's stronghold."

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

"You're going to use tracking birds?"

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

Kiku is right. They are already dead, but they have not returned to their original form. I don't know if it's magic, witchcraft, or some other trick or tool, but this is amazing! Normally, we wouldn't be able to identify a body disguised as another person. But not us. The tracker bird can follow the scent."

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

"I guess so. Then Kiku's squad will go with you to attack the assassins.

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

"Wait a minute, Kiku. Let me, let us do it. The Commander saw me embarrass him. I want to clear my name.

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

"Walter's right. All that talk about an assassin coming in, and we got him. We were put to sleep and then our imposters got close to Commander Alphonse. We can't back down from this."

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

　What we will do now is to follow the trail of the shadows.

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

　We can use tracking birds to follow the scent.

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

　But the problem is the soft magic wood.

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

　We cannot leave these woods we have obtained in the lumberyards of Gulugaria.

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

　They can be used to make powerful weapons, and above all, they are expensive.

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

　Therefore, we decided to split up the group and have one of them return to the new town of Barca.

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

　Then Zen and Walter interrupted Kiku and raised their hands.

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

　It seems that they regret that they had been put to sleep.

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

　They are breathing a sigh of relief that they can't just continue to move the lumber.

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

　Well, of course not.

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

　I think he was probably drugged, judging from the way he was sleeping soundly.

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

　But this could have been prevented.

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

　I don't know if you took the sleeping potion or inhaled it, but there is also a spell called [Poison Disable].

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

　This spell is Brother Ars' magic to nullify poisons in the body by using magic power, and it has been proven to work.

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

　There is a high possibility that the medicine used in this case would have been safe if he had been careful.

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

　But the fact that he was drugged was proof that he had not been careful enough.

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

"Alright then, Kiku, you'll be in charge of moving the lumber. This is also an important job. Make sure it gets to the new Barca town.

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

"Yes, sir. Then, Kiku's squad will carry the soft magic wood.

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

"Zen and Walter, take a squad and come with me. I expect you to do a good job.

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

Yes, Commander. I'll take care of it.

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

"Thank you, Commander Alphonse. Please watch what I'm doing.

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

　I understand their desire to make up for their blunders.

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

　So, I took advantage of their motivation and asked Kiku to take on the job of carrying them.

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

　I am sure that Kiku also wants to play an active role on the battlefield, but she agrees to the job without showing the slightest sign of it.

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

"Well then, let's go. Follow the scent of these two.

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

　And they move quickly.

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

　The bodies of the two assassins have the same external features and are indistinguishable from those of Zen and Walter, but they smell different.

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

　Not only the smell of blood, but also the body odor seems to be different, and the tracker bird starts to fly after the smell.

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

　Where are they going?

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

　I think they are heading in the direction of the Orient, but in a slightly different direction from where the city-state is located.

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

　Perhaps the shadowy figures did not live in cities.

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

　Chasing the tracker bird that kept flying, we kept moving our legs to find the home of the shadow and to attack it.
