Chapter 50 Punishment

— Black wind hideout, headroom

“So what happened?　I was just resting.”

“………”

“Actually, some of the troops that were hunting for slaves may have been crushed.”

Kristoff calls Priscila and Ad and begins to explain the situation. Priscila was upset when he tells the two people that Hope is searching around, and that Karna’s troops do not return to the hideout.

“What are you doing!? This is a secret mission from our home country! ？”

“Don’t shout too much!” What if they hear it outside?”

The three people wear a black mask and never show their true face even in front of the black wind’s men. Hope is the same as well. It is meaningless if you look at with appraisal eyes, but in this neighborhood that is far from Trisen, their names are not so major. By the magic of the royal palace Mage summoned from the home country, the memory of the people from the Black Wind was tampered with, as those took over as heads, merely making a mask has enough effect. However, the story is different when it becomes a powerful person of leader level, and the tampering of memory also becomes less effective. Although they know the fact that their head is swapped, they do not feel the doubt about it, and the name of the head cannot be recalled, and the trouble that the memory becomes incoherent comes out. If a leader in this state is interrogated, it can be fatal to them.

“But what if?　If Karna reveals our secret, then the other three countries, no, the adventurer’s Guild will not be silent. Then we can’t be heroes……. On the contrary, we might be accused of traitors! Uh, I have only been working a little yet… ”

“………”
To the crying Priscila, the muscular man, Ad quietly closes his eyes.

“AD! Please say something! Our destiny is hanging!”

“…… I just want to fight the strong. I carve out my own destiny.”

“Ah, this muscle brain idiot is …!!”

“Calm down, Priscilla! Hope’s moving in order not to make it happen! Now I’m going to check the situation.”

— Don Don! [Sfx beating; pounding; banging; booming; stamping]

“” ………! “”

At the moment Kristoff tried to control the situation, a knocking sound rang from the door of the room. Kristoff and Priscilla reacted to the sound and slowly turn their faces to the door.

“What is that !?”

“Head, ah. I got an urgent report from aniki, Hope.”

“Oh, that’s too early!

“But, it’s an emergency … did something happen?”

“It’s not information including that. Come on, hurry up about Aniki’s report. ”

“Huh.”

Gachari. [Sfx Crackling] The door opens gradually. The one who stood before opening the door was Kristoff’s direct subordinate……. A man on black robes pierced a sword through the subordinate abdomen. Several figures can be seen behind him.

“Why, why … … you say if I listen to what you say, I will save my life, you promise…”

“Oh, my bad, it’s a lie, there’s no need to keep thieves alive.”

That said, the man wields the sword he stabbed. The subordinate was cut-torn like waste paper, and he became a tragic corpse, scattering before Kristoff, and death is exposed.

“Cut … …”

Kristoff observes the man. Black hair, dressed in black from top to bottom of the black robes. If you look closely at the sword that slaughtered the subordinate before, it was a wand covered with magic. It was so dense that it could be visualized, so he has misread its nature.

“Hi, Mr. Hero, it looks like you did a lot of bad things in my neighborhood”

The man’s face was smiling, but it didn’t reach his eyes. Kristoff, who is a veteran and a battle-hardened adventure, feels at a glance. That this man is a nonstandard existence.

“Hi, Mr. Hero, it looks like you did a lot of bad things in my neighborhood”

Kill the last remnants of the Black Wind, and fight with the leaders. At the same time, the Appraisal eye is used immediately, and the data is uploaded to the network. Gerard and Sara are also in the room.

“You let my man unlock the door trap, didn’t you?”

According to the status screen, this is Kristoff the leader. A man dressed like a monk next to him is displayed as Ad and a woman wearing a coquettish jewel in her head is Priscila. Considering the strength of the status, it seems that Ad is more troublesome than Kristoff.

“Oh, because it was a powerful explosive technique, it was troublesome to unlock it, so I laid there, so had him opened it. It seems that this key was only a dummy.”

I threw the key bundle that Hope had to the floor. This key bundle had stored most of the keys that exist in the hideout, but when this key bundle was analyzed by appraisal eyes, only the boss room key was determined to be fake. If you tried to open the door with this key by mistake, the trap would have triggered immediately. Well, at that time Sera would have seen through the sense skill.

“This is … … Hope’s …!”

“Enough of the story. What are you guys Kristoff, Priscila and Ad, the Trisen’s heroes, what are you doing with thieves? Are rape and kidnapping a hero’s hobby?”

“… …. Huh, do you know what our true identities are?”

Kristoff takes the mask off in the end. I see the real face for the first time, but somehow, it looks like a bear. The face of the thief is better than the hero?

“As you pointed out, I am Kristoff. You have pretty accurate information, are you the one who dispatched Karna?”

“Well, I wonder?”

“Hey, you’re slow.”

Because Kristoff revealed his identity, then Priscilla and Ad also take off their masks.

“Either way, whichever you’ve known our identity, you will not return alive, I do not know who you are, but you should see the ability of class A adventurer!”

“Such a soldier, it could be a tough fight, let’s enjoy it for now.”

Magical power overflows from Priscilla’s jewels, and Ad sets his spear in a grand manner.

“You seem to think you are good to beat Hope or his subordinates, but that adversity is an everyday occurrence, you’ll regret thinking us a soft touch, you are going to die!”

Kristoff took the big ax hanging on the wall and chopped down to the ground.

Well, the unrest of a while ago is gone. Switching is fast. It was the same as when it was Hope, but the attitude around here is of readiness.

“Oddly, there are three people for each other … … Well, we will decide the male and female, then…! Priscila, retreat!”

“eh?”

—-Zutsu

Things were moving faster than hearing ad’s words.

“Well, you must be kidding, right?”

“… um …”

Nothing is wrong. Sera attacked Priscila, and Gerard attacked Ad. At the first shot, all Priscila jewels were crushed and Ad’s spear became rounded and broken down.

“I’m sorry, I was with that until I came here, I changed my mind when I saw the bad things in the way, this is neither a fight nor a decisive battle, it is a one-sided punishment.”
