「Operation Commences」 Part 2

After the ninja girl left, I took a look behind the desk she originally came from There was a small stone trapdoor opened under the desk

There was a strong looking lock rolling around next to the door, having failed its purpose

Peeking inside the door I found a s and documents

Apparently it was some kind of safe

The heavy sack she was carryingfrom her demeanor and appearance, she only did this to cover up her true intentions here as a robbery It’s not like I can condemn her anyway because I take money from bandits

I didn’t knohat she was looking for, but it didn’t see words she left anyway There seem to be two more elves trapped in the feudal lord’s castle That wouldhad been authorized by the feudal lord himself

If it’s true, then I’ll have to tell Ariane about it

Once this rescue was done we ht have have to infiltrate the lord’s castle

While conte that, I pick up one of the parchs from the documents, the contacts turned out to be a sells reports

The amount on the contract was insane, it exceeded well over 10,000 suk

The 10,000 gold price tag was the cost of the elves being sold here

There were six more contacts just like this one, seven in total

The contracts included the names of those that had already been auctioned off They also had the naht be possible to track down the elves that had been sold

Still, elf slaves see to this contract I wonder why there was such a high deh?

I shoved the seven contracts into s in after thes in a cloth and put the about

The owner already has cold feet so he won’t mind

Once the safe was cleaned out, I took a look around the flashy room that reeked of flamboyance, but most of the stuff was on the bulky side

Since my business here was done, I decided to prepare for the other two to joinon the door and unlocked it Once they were done checking the roo here

After a while, Ariane and Danka entered the room quietly and quickly closed the door

“I only found a few small fry in the rooms, how about you?”

“There was nothing in particular in mine”

Both got result that they weren’t happy about

After hearing Danka’s answer, Ariane’s golden eyes were questioningly pointed in my direction

“I gained so held in the underground dungeon There is also this”

I pulled the parchot from the safe out of my sack and handed themto Ariane She looked at it thelanced over the contracts Wrinkles started to crop up on her forehead

“This……!”

“Those are the elves sale contracts Since the names of the buyers are written down in several places, you should be able to use it as a clue There’s more, apparently there are two more elves trapped in the feudal lord’s castle”

“Where’d this information come from……”

Ariane looked up and glanced around the room as she asked that The bodies inside the roo more than a ornament for the desk now

She judged that they were the source of the information The source of the information is a trivial matter, what’s important now is that we need to move quickly

While I trusted the words of the ninja girl…… it was merely based on my own intuition Perhaps, it’s better to let them develop their own conclusions here

“Once we’re finished here, we’ll head over the feudal lord’s castleHiring you was the right decision……, normally it wouldn’t be easy to sneak into the castle”

She laughed while saying that and rolled the parch it to me

“To think that the feudal lord was involved……!The elders have to be informed of this e return”

Danka raised an eyebrow as he spit out that comment

Judging by the amount of money involved in the elven slave trade, wealthy nobles and merchant must be apart of it; has my workload been increased?

I suppose I could collect some extra income from the feudal lord’s castle……

“If our brethren are in the underground dungeon we have to go there at onceAfter that, the feudal lord’s castle”

Danka nodded in agreement at Ariane’s words and left the roo 【Di noise

We descended the stairway through the second floor to the first floor’s central hall

The disarray of the tables and chairs gave the hall the ating around Fortunately they haven’t noticed us yet

Once Ariane gave the “fall back” gesture, we quietly returned to the second floor

“As expected, it’s i noticed I’ll take care of the ones on the first floor, while you two deal with the reinforcements from the second floor”

Both Danka and I nod at the suggestion, and Ariane pulls out her sword and focuses on the stairway to the first floor

Then she leaps out in a flash

From the the top of the stairwell, she leaped out with sword in hand; the gathered men were shocked at this occurrence

『─Dance within this blade, flame─ 』

After she chanted in a low voice, flames started to run down the blade of her sword Thewith the sword of fire, no only let out a spray of blood, but also had red flames wrap around his entire body and set his clothes ablaze

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
