Chapter 597 (1/2)

Relying on Urushi’s presence that we could feel from a distance, we made our way through the ship.

If we met any people from the merchants’ association along the way, we would try to put them to sleep as gently as possible. This was because we didn’t know if they were all from the Raidos Kingdom or just hired locals.

But if they turned out to be the enemy, we would just simply break their legs.

『Fran, he’s around the corner』

「Nn」

Fran arrived at the corner of the ship’s upper floors. They probably used the upper floors as offices and the lower floors as warehouses.

『Urushi』

(Woof)

When I called him, Urushi showed up from the shadow of a decorative plant.

『Is Gregory in this room?』

(Woof woof!)

『Fran, let’s capture everyone in the room』

(Nn!)

『Urushi, keep an eye out for anyone who might try to escape from the ship. Don’t hesitate to use violence to prevent them from escaping』

(Woof!)

Then, after we saw Urushi off, we stepped into the room in front of us.

The people inside finally noticed us when they heard the sound of the door being slashed open by Fran.

Gregory, who had been rummaging through his desk, turned his gaze towards us.

Then, a look of astonishment came over his face.

「H-how…!?」

「How come you’re still here, did the undead not kill her!?」

「!!」

With those words, they must have realized that their attempt had been exposed.

「Jag! Vade! Kill her!」

Besides Gregory, there were other men in the room who looked like Adventurers.

They didn’t seem to be strong, as they couldn’t even detect Fran’s presence outside the room before. Well, their abilities as warriors were just average, but their skills outside of combat, such as detection, seemed to be mediocre.

「…Haa!」

「Nuuooh!」

However, it seemed that they were well trained. Without uttering a single unnecessary word, they attacked Fran.

I guess they had been trained to follow orders regardless of the opponent’s background or age. Their level of coordination was not bad either.

If their opponent had been an E-ranked adventurer, it might have worked. But something like that wouldn’t even work against Fran.

Fran’s fist, which she swung like a flicker jab, struck them both in the jaw in rapid succession, reaping their consciousness in an instant.

Even though it was just a simple jab, they still received a hit from someone like Fran. Their jawbone would be shattered at the very least.

「Wha…! S-she took out two knights in instant!?」
