Chapter 28 (1/2)

Fii was brought to a lavish manor in the outskirts of the city.

They had travelled here by horse, but because Fii didn’t know how to ride, she sat on Crow’s horse behind him.

Both York and Crow seemed to be skilled riders.

Incidentally, Conrad hadn’t come.

When Fii left for her mission, he simply waved and told her “Try your best~” with a smile.

(I really wonder what that guy even does.)

He was simply filled with mysteries.

Around the manor, there were people who seemed to be lookouts.

Using the woods around the manor as cover, they circled around to the back of the manor and descended from their horses in a place where they wouldn’t be spotted. Waiting there was...o...b..ll.

While skilfully hiding his large figure in the shade of a tree, he waved at the three newcomers.

Then, after receiving the reins of the horses from Crow and York, he led them off somewhere and disappeared.

It was around then that Crow finally began to explain the mission.

“This is a villa belonging to a merchant called Khanzar. Apparently he’s got a hand in slave trading all across the continent, and there’s a rumour that he’s got some of the kidnapping victims hidden away in that manor.

If we investigate him normally, he might have the time to hide the evidence. The longer we wait, the greater the chance that they’ll be sold. So we’re gunna find some direct evidence, so we can straight-up nab him.”

“I see~”

(But wouldn’t that be difficult?)

If he really was involved in slave trading, there would be even more lookouts on the inside. Fii couldn’t imagine that knights could infiltrate without being seen.

“That’s where you come in.”

“Are you telling me to get kidnapped? Sure. I don’t mind.”

Fii was impressed. If she was infiltrating as a sting, then they would get evidence in no time.

“No.”

“h.e.l.l no. We’re going to get you to infiltrate, yeah, but you’re coming in from the top.”

“Top?” asked Fii, as she tilted her head in confusion at the two.

Following Crow, she parted from the others and was brought close to the back of the manor.

There were three lookouts right by them, but Crow leapt out from the shade of the tree and struck them unconscious with his bare hands.

(Amazing…)

Even if it was a surprise attack, it was still an amazing feat of power.

The apprentice knights had also taken lessons in barefisted techniques, but none of the instructors had been quite so amazing.

(Crow-san really is somebody amazing…)
