The light is disturbing.

　I was alone in my room at the inn, and I closed the curtains.

　Sher......

　Then he lit the projector in the darkened room.


　Then, a series of "signs" were clearly projected on a large screen.

≪EIGA JANIES".

　This is a magnified version of the real signature, written by the person himself.


Mwah!

　I took my magician and punched out the same sign from the top of that screen.

　Shul, shul, shul: ......

　Then, in the handwriting of my hand, the word "Eiga Janies" is spelled out in the exact same handwriting.

　Okay, perfect.

　Satisfied with my fake signature practice, I put my fake seal and various forged documents in my bag.

　Mozo Mozo: ......

　And then you start changing into clothes that look like what Aega Janis would wear.

　Yes.

　The key to stealing is 'information' and 'preparation'.

　The most effective way to steal from Tiana van Lerer is to pretend to be Aiga Janiess.

　This is the key to the information, and the preparations to impersonate her have already been made.

　Finally, I changed into the "face" that I stole from that coffee shop and left the room.


　Gacha......


'Hahaha!　Sophie, you're a big pauper again!

No, no, no.

　Well, when I left the room, Sophie and her friends were playing cards with the four of us.

　I can still understand Yuri and Gonzalez, but even that reporter named Aqua is too relaxed or has a thick skin.

You are going to have to be a little more careful with the way you look at things!

It's sweet. Here. Hand me the top two cards, please.

'Oh, my tiger cub is ......'

　Well, Sophie seems to like it, so I won't say anything.

　It's been a really long time since I've seen this girl get along with her peers of her own age: .......

'Well, I'll be off then,'

　I popped Sophie on the shoulder and said.

'Hmmm, so who is ......?!'

'Haha. It's me,

　I chuckle at that.

　This isn't the first time I've seen my face change from one place to another.

'Nah. It's Tordo, isn't it?　What's wrong with your face?

This is the Aega Janisses of the world.

Oh no, even his voice has changed: ......

　The female reporter, Aqua, was shocked like that beside me.

　Sophie, on the other hand, stares at me intently.

'Hmm,'

What is it?

That's pretty cool.

　So, Sophie: ......

'Tsk. This isn't the time to be talking nonsense. Okay?　The five miracle workers are in a situation to clear the nine sides of the Demon King's Fort today. If that happens, I will finally go into 'work'. If I succeed, I'll give you a 'signal': ......

I know!　All you have to do is let me defeat the Demon King Animus first!

Yes. Then be sure to take Yuri-san with you. The Demon King's spirit spirit spirit [Konpaku] will open the [Hell Gate] with the energy to retreat to hell. That's something only you can do, Yuri-san.

I'm on to you. ...... Oh, I'll take a pass on that one.

　Four people who won't stop playing 'The Great Poor' even though I'm checking the strategy.

　Yuuri-san doesn't seem to be able to reduce the number of cards he has on hand.

I'm more concerned about Tordo-san. I'm more concerned about Mr. Toldo," he says, "is he going to be able to steal from the rumored Tiana van Lerer that he doesn't have a chance?

'Hmm, who do you think I am?　No problem.

　Then I turn away.

'Uh-uh. ......'

　As I walked past, I saw two jokers from Gonzalez's handful of cards.


　◇


　Splash! ...... rumble rumble!


　A bolt of lightning runs through the black clouds.

　When I came to the wilderness in front of Goeteburg Castle, I found that nine sides of the Demon King's fort had just been captured.

　It seems that these five miracle workers are growing faster than I expected.

Let's go to ......

　And a brave man tossed his cloak.

　Finally, five adventurers stepped out to defeat the castle of the sixth demon king Animus.

　This was the scene.

　I walked over to them from behind and called out to them.

I said to him, "Hey, Cross. Cross.

What, Aega ......?

　The brave Cross looks at my face and his eyes widen.

　The other members are exclaiming, but no one seems to suspect that I'm a fake.

　Well, it's only natural. My change 《へんげ》 is perfect.

''Huh~?　Senior Eigha?　What are you doing here now?　I don't understand it.

　While all of them were too astonished to speak, Emma Dressler, a recovering white mage, prodded them to do so.

　Hmm, just like we talked about.

"Emma. You don't get to talk to me like that when I'm here because I'm worried about you.

　I replied in an Eiga Janice way.

'Worried?　Someone who was fired for being weaker than us?　I do get it, though (laughs).

...... Hey, Eigha. What the hell is worrying you?

　Tiana asked, pushing past Emma, who continued to laugh.

'Oh. I was wondering if the momentum that you guys had gained from defeating the ninth plane was going to be used to make a quick attack on the demon king's residence.

What's wrong with that?

''The demon king is much more intelligent than ordinary demons. They are always waiting for you. More importantly, the Demon King Animus is after Princess Natasha, right? It's better to use the princess as a decoy to hide in the castle.

　This strategy is, as a matter of fact, bullshit.

　It may or may not be correct.

　It was simply a plausible strategy to suit our convenience that 'we want them to spend the night before the Demon King's War'.

" "! ......

　But for them, the words of Eiga Janis confidently released by Eiga Janis seemed to have an enormous impact.

　As per the information.

　It was said that they were finally dismissed due to the reversal of their abilities, but these five men had been raised and led by Eiga the Cultivator for many years.

　The memories of a party that depended on such a strong leader would not disappear so easily.

　So we have no choice but to take advantage of this.

　They would surely follow my advice and stay in the castle.

　That's when I thought that.

"Eigha, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, would you mind stepping aside?

　The brave Cross murmured and moved my shoulder away.

'What about ......?'

I appreciate you coming all the way out here to look out for me. But you know what? We've got our own adventure ahead of us. We're going to have to be quick about it. Using the princess as bait is too dangerous ...... and that is my decision.

Cross, who do you think you're talking to?

"Aiga......!　I knew you still don't think of me as an equal .......

Huh?

I'm not your trainee anymore!　I'm already on my own and you're on your own adventure. So ...... why can't you always see me as an equal friend?

　Tsk...... troublesome.

　I thought the brave crosses were the most dependent on the nurturer Aega.

'......'

　So, silently, Swordsman Derry arrived behind Cross.

　It would be an indication that he agreed with Cross the Brave's opinion.

　Shit. This is 0 to 2.

'Neither do I. I think it's not right to be complained about by Eiga-senpai now. ......

　Then it was Emma Dressler.

But I think Aiga knows that very well. But the fact that he came to the site with such a strong determination means that he must be in serious trouble now. ...... So, I'm over here.

　Surprisingly, she got behind my back.

'I believe in you, Master, too.

　Morier-Luxtrame is here, as expected.

　It's now 2-2 .......

　Cross and Derry are a quick attack strategy.

　Emma and Morier are a cage plan.

　Then, inevitably, attention is drawn to the decision of the last one.

'Wow, I'm ......'

　For a moment, Tiana van Rijn's eyes were weak and misleading, but when she straightened her finger on the edge of her red glasses, she straightened her back and said in a slightly clerical tone, "I'm going to reserve my opinion on my plan.

''I'll reserve my opinion on my strategy for now. However, let's turn back for today.

Ti...... Tiana.

'Cross. It doesn't mean that I don't trust your judgment. But even if you fight the Demon King with your party split in two like this, I'm sure you won't be able to win.

......

Let's calmly decide again whether to attack the castle or not. Right?

'Yeah. ....... I get it.

　Brave Cross replied with a sigh.


　◇


　Thus, the five miracle men turned back to Goeteburg Castle.

　I, taking the form of Eigha Janies, would also stay at the castle as their friend.

　It was a bit of a hiccup, but, well, it was all planned.


　But still, that clerical and calm decision by Tiana van Rijl: .......

　Is the information that the woman still has feelings for Eiga Janieth old news?


　Pella ...... Pella ......

　I open the skill [Book of Thieves].

　Here is a list of what I've stolen so far and the 'stealing conditions' of what I'm going to steal in the future.

　Among other things, the conditions for stealing magic are different depending on the level.

　The conditions for low level magic are easy, and the conditions for high level magic are difficult.

　Naturally, Level 6 magic [Sentraia]'s condition for stealing is the highest difficulty level S.


　They have to be tied together for one night.


　That's why I thought that if I took the form of Eiga Janies, I could steal her sleeping place for a night. ......

　If you're already in love with her, you'll have to do things by force at worst (though I'm not keen on it).

　Of course, Tiana van Rijn is strong, but if it's one on one, it would be well possible to force her to assemble.

　That's what I was thinking about.


　Tontonton: ......!


　And someone is knocking on my door.

　Who is it?

Excuse me for the evening, sir.

　I opened the door to find a lone maid with a striking mole around her eyes.

''I understand that Aigado is staying at the castle for the first time tonight, sir.

Yeah, that's right.

Excuse me, but I need you to sign this. It's standard procedure when you stay with us.

　Yes.

　The Goeteburg Castle is a world cultural heritage site, so if you stay here, you will be asked to pledge not to vandalize or steal.

　Well, the pledge was free.

　I wrote Eiga Janies' fake signature on the pledge.

"Excuse me, sir, but I have one for you, too.

Hmm?　What is this?

　The next thing I was presented with was a document written in unreadable script.

I have heard that Aigado is ruling the territory of the Far East. The document is written in the script of your culture. We need it clerically at .......

'Oh, ah, ....... I see.

　The maid bows as she signs that one as well.

'Then I will leave you.

Oh, wait a minute.

Yes?

I'd like to ask you a few questions for a reason, though.

　As I said this, I stuffed the money into the maid's apron.

'Can you tell me which room Tiana is staying in?'

Lady Tiana?

Yeah. As a matter of fact. I've been going out with him. I don't want to tell anyone, but... So I'd like to go see him in secret: ......

　I say and take the money out of my wallet again and give it to the maid.

'Hey?　Can you show me around, please?

　The maid put the money she was given into her skirt pocket.

O-ho-ho, this is for you.

　He smiled, with his eyes shaped like a crescent moon, and smiled.


　◇


　The maid invited me to an empty room in the castle.

'This way, sir.'

　As we stepped out onto the terrace of the vacant room, the maid told me to look out onto the next terrace.

　I lean out of the border and the maid props me up.

'Mmm, mmmm. ......'

　In the next room, there is no light on.

　But it seems that he is not yet asleep.

　The shadow of a woman sitting in a chair can be seen.

'Is that Tiana?'

Yes. This is Tiana's room. Now, please enjoy your stay. O-ho-ho-ho: ......

Yeah, good work.

　And when I turned around, the maid was no longer there.

　I thought the maid was a bit eerie, but the the theft was coming to a climax, and this was no time to be concerned about it.

　I stepped over the railing of the terrace and moved to the next terrace, putting my feet on the protruding wall frame.

　Bolo, Parapara: ......

　It's an old castle and the stone is missing.

...... style.

　As I landed on the terrace of the next room, I suddenly felt a strange sensation in my heart.

　What a surprise!　My wallet is gone!

　Don't tell me you're ...... that maid?

　Shit, I was caught off guard.

　I love to steal, but I hate to be stolen from!

Gogagguigiigiigi: ......

　No, but calm down.

　For now, we have to think about stealing Centralia rather than that.

　Sophie and the others are waiting for us!

　So I regained my composure and proceeded to the cobblestone terrace and peered through the window pane at the room.

'......'

　The woman sighed gloomily as she rested her cheekbones on her desk.

　The moonlight dyes the braids to a classy "classical" gold.

　Concon......

　I knock on the window.

　In response to the sound, the woman twists her beautiful back to look at me.

　At that moment, the woman's blue eyes shine like a reflection of all the stars in the night sky.

　Her blue eyes sparkled fantastically as if they reflected all the stars in the night sky, and a sparkling smile bloomed like a flower, something you never see outside.

''Eiga......!

　The woman opened the window in a hurry and jumped at me, taking the form of Eiga Janies.

　The woman's small breasts crumpled against my chest and her arms went around my neck as if she were clinging to me.

　The woman's flesh was already hot, even through her knitwear, and her cheeks, which were very serious, were red hot.

I believed you would come to see me again ......!

　Apparently, there is no need for forcefulness.

　If he could only do a perfect job of pretending to be Eigha Janiess, he would be able to steal a night's sleep without even realizing it.

Tiana: "Tiana: ......

　Huh, even the mighty Tiana van Raal is a bit of a slouch in front of the man she loves.

　That's what I was thinking as I was about to take off my red glasses.

"It's a peculiar thing: ！！！！ ......

　A woman's voice with a tremendous volume echoed outside the room: .......
