-Commander Birksby.

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

As we approached the town gate, the vigilantes who were guarding the gate showed up.

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

They looked surprised to see us back in less than an hour.

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

When we left the gate earlier, they had the same look on their faces because of the large number of the defeat squad.

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

Well, a 55-member strike force is something that happens only once every few decades, so it can't be helped.

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

What's going on, Commander?　And, uh, what the hell is that fellow back there ......"

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

Marce, the oldest and leader of the vigilante group, looks puzzled when he sees the group walking a little behind us.

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

He looks at the traitorous vigilantes with their hands tied behind their backs and ropes tied around their waists.

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

The other vigilantes besides Marce seem to have noticed.

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

They seem shocked at the sight of their friends.

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

They are comparing me with their chained friends, wondering what's going on.

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

They betrayed us and turned out to be part of the most troubled organization in town, so we took them into custody. Put them in cages and keep an eye on them."

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

Raise your voice a little and explain the situation to everyone.

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

'Eh ............. I understand. Since there are so many of us, even if we use both the cages in the gate guard building and the one in the Tsumesho, we will only have three people in each cage.

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

At my words, Marce looks as if he does not understand for a moment what was said.

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

But I guess that's where my years of experience working for the neighborhood watch comes in.

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

He seems to have changed his mind immediately.

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

No, I want five people in each cage, not three.

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

At my words, he quickly glances at those who are being held captive.

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

They seem to be checking the number.

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

Then he tilts his head to the side, as if he has completed the count.

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

Besides those here, there are still traitors left in the stronghold we built yesterday.

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

Marce stops moving for a moment at my words, a complex expression of mixed sadness and anger on his face.

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

But it was only for a moment, and soon returned to his usual face.

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

I understand. The cages... Would it be enough if we kept them five by five?"

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

Will it be enough?

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

We have no idea how many people are pouring into the base.

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

Plus, there's the whole criminal population thing.

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

No, two places aren't enough. You should talk to the Adventurers' Guild and the Commerce Guild so that they can all rent cages. Hopefully that will be enough. ......"

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

That much?　Understood."

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

When I said all the cages of both guilds, a wry smile appears on Marce's face as his eyes widen a little.

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

Seeing my expression, he too smiled with a hint of sadness.

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

I have worked as a vigilante for many years, but this is a hard job.

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

He bows his head to me lightly and then turns to the vigilantes, who are still staring at their friends in amazement.

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

Hey!　How long are you going to stay dumbfounded? Get to work!　Throw the traitor into a cage in the gate guard building. Do not listen to anything they say. They are no longer our friends. They are criminals who betrayed us. Tighten up!"

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

"Ha, yes."

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

Put five in each cage. The rest will be in the cage in the corridor. We don't have enough men to guard them. I want an emergency muster of the off-duty men.

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

Yes!

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

I was relieved to see him energize the other vigilantes.

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

I can't keep being confused just because we are former comrades.

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

Especially if there is a gap in their hearts, they might feel sorry for him and let him go.

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

I thought about choosing a member from the strike team to stand guard because of this concern, but if Marce is there, I'm sure he'll be fine.

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

The other members of the group seemed to have been changed by his spirit.

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

With moves that show no hesitation, they are moving the criminals out of the way.

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

Aggroop, I think it's safe to leave the watch to Marce and the others. Leave only a few people to hold them down when they get caught and let the rest head for the base."

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

I understand.

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

Aglop selects five guards and gives them instructions.

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

He then asks, "Commander, can we get a few more people back to the base?"

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

Marleek, who had handed over the captured adventurers to the vigilante group, asks.

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

I nod my head.

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

Those who entered the base must have been put to sleep with a sleeping potion.

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

Therefore, we don't need that many people.

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

What do you have?　I'm sure we still have the manpower. ......"

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

If we mobilize all the neighborhood watch members, we can get the manpower. Can I help you?"

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

Just as I was getting back, it seems that Aglop has returned.

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

Thank God Aglop knows better than I do about manpower.

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

Huh?"　We're supposed to flush out anyone from the organization who is hiding around the base, haven't you heard?"

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

What?

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

Oh - that's the second time today that I've heard the same voice as Agrop.

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

I guess that's not important.

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

How are you going to do it?　Hard to do, isn't it?"

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

Hmm?"　We're planning to judge everyone around the base with magic items. ......"

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

I could see his face pull away.

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

Surely that would be the best way to ensure that those lurking would be caught.

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

But how many people around the base are we going to check?

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

No way. Is she the one behind the operation?"

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

Yes," he said. You come up with some pretty amazing ideas."

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

Pfft, kkk. I'd like to have a long talk with that boy when all is said and done."

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

Agrop gives a small laugh.

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

What can I say, who are you really?　That Ivy kid.

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

There should already be some adventurers working with Gilmouth who don't have a problem with him."

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

Hm?"　Have the adventurers finished checking?"

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

Not yet. I heard they are going to start working on it after they finish checking the area around the base. That's why we're short on manpower."

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

I see. But is there any reason to spread out and catch them all at once here?"

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

It seems a little too hasty.

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

Or is it necessary?

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

Hmm?"　As I recall, I heard that if ...... vigilantes, adventurers, and people involved in organizations around the base were all caught at once, the organizations would suspect that information has been leaked. Sifal told me that this would slow them down.

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

If we catch them all at once, will the organization be compromised?

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

'Well, I just heard Sifal talking to Ivy up close. Ask them both for details."

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

Ha ha, got it. But that's not a problem?"

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

I know I can strike a blow to the ...... organization, so no problem!"

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

I like ...... simple.

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

Well, but I'm surprised you came up with it.

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

Certainly, if the hands that had been infiltrated were caught all at once, I would suspect an information leak.

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

I'm looking into it with a magic item, but that too came out of nowhere yesterday.

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

The organization must not yet have confirmed the authenticity of the information.

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

No, the existence of the magic item has only been confirmed by a few people on our side.

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

It is highly possible that the existence of the magic item itself is not yet known.

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

Is that why it is now?

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

Once it is known that the magic item is being used to investigate, the line of information leakage disappears.

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

Now that the method they are investigating is not known, can they make time to prepare to hunt down the organization?

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

Certainly, if the operation works, it will create an environment where those in the organization are the first to suspect an information leak.

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

Not only that, they might even consider the possibility that there is a traitor inside.

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

In the past, they would have used those who had been infiltrated to investigate.

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

But this time, they cannot use them because they have already been captured.

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

If they were to investigate our movements under these circumstances, they would have to be very careful.

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

Moreover, the fact that it is unclear to what extent information has been leaked will slow down their movement even more.

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

So our work could temporarily halt the organization's movement.

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

While they are stuck, we will confirm the credibility of the documents we have found, and solidify the evidence.

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

To do that, we need to catch them, even if it's a bit of a foolhardy maneuver.

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

...... a 9 year old thought this up?

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

I'm not agrop, but I'd like to take the time to talk to you when all this is over.

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

If that's the case, I'll go and gather all the people who can move. I mean, I'll mobilize all the people I can. Where would you like us to start to take control of the base?"

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

...... control is not the same thing.

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

But it seems that Aglop got the same idea as I did.

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

His voice was raised, if not heartened.

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

I had always been on the side of the cornered, but now suddenly there was a possibility that I could be in the opposite position.

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

Is it strange not to be excited?

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

Aggroop, don't get so excited that you make a mistake.

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

Of course. Of course. She has set us up this far. There is no way I can fail.

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

Indeed.

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

If I fail, I won't be able to face that girl.
