This crafty trap was placed past every blockade, and the number of wounded and dead only increased
Even if they were to take another route, they would only fall prey to another trap
Surely the number of dead would only number in the dozens, but the objective was not to kill but to stop their advance
The soldiers who stopped before the traps elco towards them
The soldiers were close enough that the spears needed not arch in their path, and many were pierced as a result

「At this rate…」
The adjutant wanted to colanced over the captain
Would this power-hungrynoould close the door on his career But otherwise all would die Should he withdraw troops even if itcourt-martialed? The adjutant hesitated

Leaving corpses evena blade, Hifu of soldiers
This massacre has yet to end
「Captain, we must retreat」
「A single le man!?」
Scolding his man, the captain desperately asked anyone to kill Hifuhed
And after taking a few steps away from the captain, the adjutant called out to nearby soldiers and made preparations to leave Rhone Captain in his haste did not notice it; but Hifumi did

「W-wha th…?」
The captain never even had the chance to draw his blade By the time he noticed he was abandoned, it was too late
「Die」
With but a single word, Hifuht him down from the horse

When Hifumi withdrew his hand, the captain (corpse) looked rather a
Seeing their captain killed, the soldiers co back
「Your general is dead」
Of course, they would abandon the corpse
「If you want to run, noould be the time? Desperately run back to your masters and tell them what had happened here That’s if they believe you of course」
Fearing the smile on Hifumi’s face, the Vichy soldiers scattered like baby spiders before a predator
They abandoned their weapons and the wounded too
Hifu of any wounded, while his guard was busy burying the bodies
Those who had recently joined his guard were throwing up with lifeless eyes, while those who had already worked with Hifumi meticulously continued their tasks
Origa and Alyssa, after issuing the troops orders, rushed over to Hifumi
After looking at his appearance, Hifumi’s face had a bitter sore off He continued to take deep breaths even as he put away the Chigiriki into his dark storage
The blood-stained main road soon welcomed a bloody sunset
With less than a hundred er—in but three days such rus of praise for the “Knight of the Slender Sword”
Having witnessed these revelries in the guild, Kasha, who caet her quest reward, wandered into the moon-lit street
She left of her own free will; as an adventurer her life made an about turn and she was rather well off She also sick of killing people, was satisfied with her life as a freewoman, dined in fancy and expensive restaurants, and even went out to buy herself a neeapon

She grabbed a sword and asked
In response, she heard a familiar feminine voice
「It’s Pajo There’s so we need to discuss」

In response to being let in, Pajo flashed an elegant smile
「It’s not that hard to find where you live I a this city, after all」
「My, my, how impressive Now then, what do you need from me?」
As there were no chairs, they sat on the bed and spoke without looking each other in the eyes
「There’s a request for you co from the Crown」
「The Crown? What could the Crown from a simple adventurer?」
Wouldn’t it be better to uild, she asked, but Pajo only smiled
「This is so only you can do」
Without any reservation, Pajo le request of her
「Could you monitor Hifumi-san for us?」
