"Ojado, did you feel that?"
"Well, it's right there."
"Really, why does trouble always come to me when I don't want to cause trouble?"
"Maybe it's because my brother is just so special?"
"That feels like a 'it's all my fault' vibe to me."
"Or what?"
"Well~ who knows."
"All right you two!"
Alicia in front of us turned sharply to look at us.
"What the hell are you guys muttering about, it feels so gross!"
"Ara, we're just having a normal conversation."
I said casually, then sent a message to Aria.
'We're being followed, but the other party's target doesn't seem to be us, but rather Lulu in front of us.'
That's right, Lulu-san, the brace-eating mercenary we met at the grill.
Hendrit Lugins.
Reenactor LV34
Neutral - Heroic - Berserker - Eater - Heavy Rider Full Proficient - A-ranked Mercenary - Hiero Mercenaries Deputy Leader - Nervousness - Wilderness Warrior
Heavy Warriors, just like their name, were warriors who used heavy weapons such as heavy hammers, greatswords and even meteor hammers, but this had the drawback that while they could use them all, they weren't proficient.
For example, Lu in front of me, although she had level 34, she could only use the skills of a level 20+ greatsword master because there was so much to learn.
And as someone who is fully proficient... I can only say that as someone who can use all skills, I can very much understand the pain of having too many skills.
However, there's also the convenience of just being able to use anything, after all, if you can use any weapon, you don't have to worry about grabbing something on the battlefield and it's just a weapon.
Oh right, I forgot to say the main point after going around in circles.
But she's not hostile towards us at all, so I judged that the other party's target should be Lulu's group in front of us.
I was hoping to have a good rest, but things are really picking up... I wonder if we have the special attribute of finding things to do everywhere we go.
Alicia froze for a moment when she saw my message, then looked at me like I was very upset, then turned around.
'It looks like a ninja....from the name above.'
'Well, I don't know why it's stalking Lulu and her group, but it's just that it's not a good thing to see.'
'Well, no matter, let's find a place to rest first, or else we'll be exhausted.'
'You're not afraid of turning into a pig even if you sleep on a full stomach?'
'Huh?'
'I'm saying that you should walk more after you're full, it helps your digestion.'
'Hmph!'
I can't see Alicia's expression, but the other party must be very upset right now.
But why do her values look so strange? Just now though, it landed at 800 for a second, but all of a sudden it's back to about 880.
How the hell do you measure this thing, this is simply a device without a manual, how do you want me to use it properly?
Forget it, we'll find a reference object to study later, but for now, let's solve the problem at hand.
Yes, it's tonight's accommodation, not that I don't want a ninja behind me to ruin our free hotel for the night.
However, the entire city was now under martial law, and apparently there were a lot more soldiers patrolling the streets than there had been this morning.
It's not explicitly stated, but the other side already thinks that the two Marshalls have fled back to Tenshi City, right? It's much safer to let the dolls out for a walk at night sometime.
It feels a bit redundant, but you can never be too careful.
But for now, all we have to do is wait for the other party to make a move, preferably in a hotel, so that it won't be so noisy to deal with.
Next....
It's just waiting for the right time.
---- Time Divider ----.
The East Stone Hotel was different from a normal hotel, in order to better take on the mercenary corps' business, it offered all the rentals of mansions that had a large number of rooms.
And Lu's Hei Luo mercenary group is renting one of the courtyards, although it's not very big, but from what they said, this mission is only a few of their mercenary group's higher level out, so the whole place is only 10 people in residence.
But it's better this way, after all with more people it's hard for us to avoid mishaps, although we have a system to prevent mishaps, but honestly, I don't know how to team up with NPCs.
That's right, normally when they need to team up in battle they just team up by themselves, that is to say, I can't actively team up with them if the NPCs don't offer to team up by themselves.
What a trap.
But it doesn't matter, as soon as we walked in, we told Lu the current situation, and the other party was obviously surprised, but nodded at our serious looks.
Why did they nod? That's because we volunteered to help them with the ninjas.
Why did we volunteer?
Of course, it's after-dinner exercise.
Besides, Sister Lu and the others are just a normal mercenary group at a glance, and I just took a look at their cargo, and there's nothing good in it.
It seems that the problem still lies with Sister Lu and the others, although I know what it is, but it must be the cause of the incident.
Well, I can't come up with a reason even if I think about it that way, so I suggest that Lulu and the others split up and let the enemy detect the opportunity, then we'll just grab the other party and ask questions.
Rather than burning our brains here, we should just grab and ask.
And just as we saw that the other party had entered the range of the hotel, I smiled slightly and stretched out my hand, two cold streams wrapped directly around the other party's feet, and the three of us rushed straight up to the roof from three directions.
Olya rushed up with an arrow and stabbed at the other party, but the other party shifted and actually used a double technique to displace!
Huh? Isn't stunts based on speed? How could you just get out of the confinement?
I was slightly surprised, and with a wave of my hand, the cold air was instantly released into the surroundings, but the other party seemed to have targeted me first, and the cold dagger was plastered down my neck!
"Stop, or I'll..."
Before the other side could finish, I pulled out my crossbow gun with my back hand and fired several shots behind me, the other side's blade just trying to push, but then it went soft.
"You..."
Reluctance was evident in the other's eyes, but he fell anyway.
"Sorry, my arrow has a fast-acting anesthetic on it."
After seeing the other side fall, I looked at Ojado and Alicia.
"Well, let's see now, who is this assassin."
