I opened the front door to see Pluff standing there with an impatient look on his face.

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

Not that much time had passed, but what had happened to Guilmouth and his assistants?

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

'What's the matter?　Did you have a sudden change of heart?'

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

'No, it's all right. They didn't come back very often, so I thought something might have gone wrong. ......

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

He tilted his head at Pluff's condition.

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

The actuality that you can't get a good deal more than a couple of minutes of sleep.

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

I can't talk about the owner of the magic stone, so I just said, "I have a few things to do," and left.

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

You know, ......."

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

"Oh, my business is done. Let's start the treatment."

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

I felt sorry for Prav, who looked obviously relieved.

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

Let's go.

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

It's best to get him treated as soon as possible and put him at ease.

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

While heading to the place where the top-secret treatment is being carried out, I secretly search for signs of the surroundings.

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

After all, they are there.

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

There is always a guard on the pluff.

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

Today, there are two?　No, three?

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

That's a lot.

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

Yesterday there was only one, so it's possible that word has leaked out that Torlaf Guilmouth has been healed.

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

The place where the healing is taking place is one of the safe houses that Guilmouth had.

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

Only a limited number of people are allowed inside.

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

There is a doctor, an assistant, and one staff member from the Adventurers' Guild who is assisting Prahu.

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

With Praff, there are four people in all.

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

So one of them is leaking information.

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

Even so, you're not very good at ......."

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

The three guards are not amateurs if you consider their movements alone.

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

But they lack the skill to keep watch.

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

In towns and villages, it is counterproductive to try to muffle their presence.

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

When you're as keen on signs as I am, that kind of thing stands out.

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

When you reduce the presence, the presence inevitably shakes in an unnatural way.

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

It would be less noticeable if I used a magic item to completely erase the presence, but no matter how much I hone my skills, I can never completely erase a presence.

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

So in a village or town, the best way is to blend your presence into the surrounding atmosphere.

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

Well, this is quite difficult.

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

It's supposed to be difficult, but Ivy can do it a little.

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

I haven't perfected it yet, though.

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

I don't know how she learned it, and you said you don't know how the druid learned it either.

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

You quietly look at one of the guards so you don't get caught.

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

He looks like a villager in disguise.

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

If that were the case, it would be easier for them to be seen if they were unassuming and didn't try to hide their presence.

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

Well, it would be more troublesome if they know I know, so I'm just ignoring them for now.

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

Besides, there's got to be one of my guys.

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

He'll be able to ID the guard.

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

Mr. Zinal?

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

What's up?

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

Did you need something?

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

No, I'm fine.

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

I glance at Pluff, who is walking next to me.

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

Sometimes he's unusually sharp, isn't he?

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

I'm not sure if this guy is a friend or a foe.

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

"Well, Sen--"

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

This is not the place to talk about it.

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

Don't talk about brainwashing where you don't know who's listening.

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

You made me nervous, didn't you?

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

I'm sorry. I was told I was fine, but I was scared."

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

I look at Pluff and he looks pale.

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

This doesn't look like an act, right?

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

But I'm concerned that he wasn't brainwashed.

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

Because the druid is concerned about that too.

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

Druid?

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

Now something's got your attention.

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

What's ......?

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

Druid reminds me of ...... Oh, it's a skill.

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

He didn't become a high level adventurer because of his special skills.

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

Could it be that Pluff has some skill that doesn't get him brainwashed?

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

It's a far-fetched idea, but not impossible, right?

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

After turning the corner three times from the main street, the desired location comes into view.

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

There are no people around here, so I wonder if it's safe to ask.

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

If I go to the safe house, the doctor will be there for sure.

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

But more importantly, how should I ask him to talk to me?

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

Let's just try to be direct.

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

"Does Pluff have any special skills?"

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

What?　Skill?

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

When I stared at Prahu, I could see that he was puzzled.

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

But he doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

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

Do you have any skills that you need to hide?

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

'Yes, skills. I was just wondering if you have any skills that are different from others.'

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

How did you know?"

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

Because you are not an adventurer?

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

You are defenseless against skills.

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

Or is it not a skill you care about so much?

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

'Somehow. Do you have it?"

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

I didn't think it would be so easy to find out.

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

"Somewhat?　It must be amazing to be an adventurer as good as Mr. Zinal.'

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

That's a different reaction from an adventurer.

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

'It just happened to hit me. So do you have any special skills?"

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

'Yes, I have some, but I don't know what they mean, so I don't even know if they're special.

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

A skill that you don't know what it means?

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

It's a skill called 'going through.

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

Through?

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

That's a skill I've never heard of.

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

"Yes. I write like this.

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

I stare at Praff as he writes on his palm.

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

The new word is "through".

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

Is this what saved you from being brainwashed?

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

But I don't know what it means, because I don't know what it means.

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

Would a druid with special skills be able to figure it out?

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

I'll check later.

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

Um, do you know what this means?"

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

I shake my head, sorry for Pluff's expectant look, but I shake my head.

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

'No. I don't know, I've never seen it before.

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

I see.

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

Oh, I'm depressed.

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

Even if you have the skill, you can't do anything about it if you don't know what it means.

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

'Excuse me. Mr. Zinal has come to treat me.'

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

Opening the front door of the safe house and entering, Praff calls out toward the back.

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

No, I'm not here to treat you. ......

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

Sorry to bother you."

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

As I was about to head to the back room, I felt the presence of my friends outside.

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

They were supposed to be here, but they're early.

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

'Pluff, one of my associates says he's willing to help, can you have him come in here?

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

What?　Are you one of Mr. Zinal's associates?

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

Yes, I happened to meet him yesterday in this village. I called him here to help you, okay?

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

Praff looked like he was thinking a little, but nodded.

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

I'm glad to hear that.

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

I'll bring him right back."

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

'What?　Are they close by?"

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

Yeah, I felt a presence. He must be close.

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

"What? A sign?"

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

Pluff smiles as he sounds surprised.

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

I'll be right back.

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

I'll be right back." He exits the building and walks straight to the corner.

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

How was it?"

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

He raises one hand to Url, his companion standing on the corner.

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

All three of us are members of the neighborhood watch.

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

I let out a sigh at Ur's words.

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

I sigh. "I didn't know the watchmen were vigilantes.

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

You're coming with me.

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

I'll come with you. And which one of you is this Pluff guy?

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

Unclear. I thought it might be Skill who escaped the brainwashing. ...... You ever hear of a skill called "going through"?

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

Do you?"

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

Ur shook his head.

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

"Could it have something to do with brainwashing?"

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

"Maybe," he says.

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

I see. By the way, Zinal, shouldn't you go to bed?

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

I didn't expect Ur to say that.

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

I don't know if my face is that bad.

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

He stroked his face with his right hand.

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

I'll sleep during the treatment with the magic stone, so please let me know if anything happens.

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

I understand. Any other precautions?

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

'It's the movement of the doctor and the assistant. One of them might be leaking information to the outside world.

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

Ulle showed me a look of displeasure at my words.

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

I don't like betrayal," he said.

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

What about Gilmas of the Adventurers' Guild?　He got better yesterday, didn't he?

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

I doubt it."

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

I could tell by the signs that he was in the building, but I wouldn't know his health condition until I saw him.

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

Well, he was healed with the magic stone that Sol and Flem made.

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

I'm sure he's fine.

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