I asked the owner to see me off at the Asuro inn, but he seemed to be exhausted.

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

Jinaru-san, who is standing next to me, is in a good mood, as if he is looking forward to today's event.

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

Mr. Fiesche, too, looks a little tired, but he too is in a good mood.

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

You guys are ......"

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

The father looked at the two of them and let out a sigh of exasperation.

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

I feel kind of sorry for the owner.

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

I don't know how much is "that much," but it's a lot.

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

I don't know how much is "that much," but looking at the owner, I don't think it's okay.

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

Is it really okay?

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

I'm fine. There are things that are more difficult than that, you know.

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

I was so happy to see him.

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

I'm not sure if that's okay. ......

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

Ivy. Why do you seem so anxious when I say it and so convinced when Feiche says it?"

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

Is it the result of our past deeds?"

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

Mr. Zinal's father gushed when I answered honestly.

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

Mr. Zinal looks unconvinced.

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

But I think you are right, considering what we have done so far.

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

Huh?

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

...... I should have said this a little softer, right?

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

In my mind, Mr. Zinal seems to be becoming a person who is easy to deal with and nice to deal with.

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

Even though he's quite a bit older than me.

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

I look at Mr. Jinal walking next to me.

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

He looks disapproving with his lips pouting.

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

I feel like I don't have to worry about it.

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

He says, "Hmm?　What is it?

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

No."

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

I feel like I'm falling for Mr. Zinal's tricks.

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

He is a strange person because I don't have a bad feeling about him.

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

The gatekeeper looked at Zinal and the others when they were leaving the gate and reacted strangely.

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

They should have noticed this, but they didn't react in any way.

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

I guess this means they should ignore it.

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

After walking for a while, the father looked at Zinal and the others.

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

Is that the enemy?"

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

Mr. Jinal gives me a look of disgust.

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

He looks at his father and says, "Apparently, there are some idiots on our side. They must be underlings, but they must have leaked information.

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

You mean that a low-level member of Mr. Zinal's group leaked the information to us?

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

Is he going to be all right?

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

"What are you going to do?　What do you think they're going to do?

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

Mr. Fiesche said as he looked back, and Mr. Zinal pondered for a moment.

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

I'm just in time to catch him.

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

Catch it?

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

Waiting for us?

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

Oh, you're going to fish?

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

But still, after such an obvious attitude, do you think he'll try something?

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

"Will they make a move when they know we are on to them?"

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

The three of them laughed at my words.

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

Why not?

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

Ivy must have noticed the gatekeeper's attitude.

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

You'd notice that," I nod my head at my dad's words.

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

'Well, the gatekeeper was trying very hard not to show an attitude, though.'

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

Dad says, amused, which raises a question.

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

Was he trying hard not to show an attitude?

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

With that?

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

Because when you looked at Mr. Zinal, you looked into his eyes a little, and when he came next to you, you pulled yourself back a little and looked away from him on purpose, like you didn't care?

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

Even though it was that obvious?

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

Because Ivy is sharp as a tack."

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

Is that right?

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

Hmm?

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

There is a sign that he is following me with more than a certain amount of space between us.

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

I looked at my father and he nodded.

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

That's your father.

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

You can't read the signs, but you are aware of them.

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

I think it's people like your father who are the sharpest.

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

What are we going to do? We won't be able to meet up with the Serpent if we keep going like this.

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

Mr. Zinal became a little flustered at his father's words.

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

Let's split up. Probably ...... bad."

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

Mr. Zinal pauses mid-sentence.

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

Two sides?

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

If that's the case, I'm sure we'll be attacked by this side.

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

Because I'm here.

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

Ivy, you can say no.

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

I'm fine. Let's just get this over with and meet up with Mr. Serpent.

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

I'm wondering if Mr. Serpent is trying to tell me something.

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

He says, "My bad. Are they ...... amateurs?　Or is that on purpose?"

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

Mr. Fiesche wrinkles his brow.

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

I guess so.

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

The people following us from behind are six people.

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

It is very easy to tell because they have not erased their presence.

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

Is it possible that they are chasing us and not erasing their presence?

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

No, right?

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

Does that mean that the six are decoys and someone else is coming this way?

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

The presence of the top adventurers is thin and therefore difficult to read.

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

Even so, if we move, we can notice them because their presence moves.

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

With this in mind, I have been checking the surrounding area since a while ago, but there is no one here.

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

Is he hiding it very well, or is he using a magic item?

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

"Are they using some kind of magic item to make their presence disappear?"

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

There is such a magic item, but it requires a lot of magic power. It's expensive. So I don't think they would use it for a problem this big.

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

Mr. Fiesche explained to me.

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

For now, let's split up."

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

I nod in agreement, and we come to a fork in the road that leads to a dumping ground and a cave.

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

My father and I go to the dump site.

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

Mr. Zinal and Mr. Fischer will head for the cave and make it look like we are splitting up.

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

I am a little nervous about which way they will follow.

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

'Are you somewhat confused?'

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

'...... I guess so.'

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

At the place where we parted from Mr. Zinal and the others, I feel the confused presence of six people.

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

I tilt my head back and forth with my father.

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

Something's not right.

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

Are they really the enemy?"

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

'Hmmm, maybe they are being used by someone.

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

Use?

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

That's possible.

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

Ivy, no sign of them around here yet?

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

No.

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

Let's just get Ciel out of here first.

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

At her father's words, she opens the lid of the bag containing Ciel.

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

Ciel immediately jumped out and quickly hid himself in a tree as he returned to Adandara.

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

'...... That's what I'd expect from you. It all happened so fast.

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

I was a little surprised. I was a little surprised.

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

The two of them looked at the top of the tree.

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

This is a bad move."

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

At his father's words, I change my gaze to the road leading to the dumping ground.

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

It was so brilliant that I looked where Ciel was headed, but this is a bad move.

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

It would be like telling the others that there is something up in the trees.

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

"It's coming this way.

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

Yeah, I think so.

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

Finally, the six of them seemed to be coming this way.

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

I am relieved that it was so soon after I looked back at them from Ciel.

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

We walked slowly to the dump site.

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

He's being very careful, isn't he?

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

Yes, but why didn't you hide your presence before that? But why didn't they hide their presence before that?

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

I tilted my head at the behavior of the six men.

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

It was too strange.

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

And why are there six of them?

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

I searched for signs at the gate we had just passed through, but there were six of them.

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

Could all six of them who were there be chasing us?

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

That's not likely, right?

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

The gatekeeper is also a fortress that protects the people of the village from the dangers of the forest.

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

No way, all of them would leave the gate. ...... That's as good as it gets.

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

Stop."

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

Thank God.

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

They're finally here.

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

We almost made it to the dump.

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

Turn around.

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

I mean, are we all going in the same direction?

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

This means I can run away all I want.

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

I turned around and saw six nervous-looking people.

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

Their swords were drawn from their sheaths, and they were facing us.

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

And yet, they are not scared.

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

They look more scared than deadly, I can feel it from their presence.

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

It was strange, after all.

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

What can you do with such a hunched stance?"

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

The father's words made the six of us tremble.

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

What is that?

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

They are all young.

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

Are they still in their teens?

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

It is common knowledge that a gatekeeper should be a person with some experience, but is it different here?

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

The father must have noticed this, too, because he looks at the six of them curiously.

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

That's strange.

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

As long as I look at these six people, I don't think they are enemies.

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

Could it be that they are being threatened by someone?

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

Come to think of it, they were tying up young adventurers with contracts, weren't they?

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

Bound by contract?"

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

At my words, the six of them look like they are about to cry.

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

Apparently, this is rampant not only in the Adventurers' Guild, but also in vigilante groups.

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

Dad lets out a sigh and raises one hand.

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

The sign of Mr. Zinal, who was a little further away, comes closer.

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

When he appears, the expressions on the faces of the six men tighten.

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

The six men's faces tightened as he appeared. I understand what's going on."
