Chapter 7 Part 2

The door to Meldor’s adventurer’s guild opened.

The person who entered was Havoc.

The other party members who were with him,  Emilia, Liam and Cornelia, were already relaxing at the table.

[Then, how’s Chaos?]

Carlo asked them.

They had been requested by Carlo.

To investigate and observe the newcomer Chaos who was suspicious.

[I followed that fellow when he separated from you, but perhaps I was discovered and he disappeared by moving elsewhere. I investigated the inns but there was no sign of where he is staying. The gatekeeper also said that he did not see him, just where did he go…..] (Havoc)

Havoc sighed as he had already gotten used to his disappearing acts even though he tailed him.

He had been observing Chaos constantly from the outside.

[Perhaps that is not unreasonable. Earlier, we were negligent after we defeated the Kobold, but Chaos sensed the skeleton before we did and became vigilant. It might be possible that his scouting abilities are very high.] (Emilia)

Emilia interjected.

[Ahh, that was quite dangerous. If Chaos did not spot it I totally might have gotten hurt, yeah.] (Liam)

[He was warning us by giving out killing intent. Sheesh, it’s good enough if he just warned us by speaking out.] (Cornelia)

Cornelia mumbled. But blaming Chaos’s action did not prevent her from smiling faintly.

[Maybe he wanted to act instead of speaking? Perhaps he was not certain of the facts, I would think.] (Havoc)

[It’s really easy to mistake that killing intent for him trying to hurt his allies right? When that flame arrow approached me, I thought I was going to get hit.] (Liam)

[You’re really a coward…..] (Cornelia)

[But Chaos is really skilled. His magic spells are accurate and once he realized his spells are not doing much, he combined his tactics with Nelia (Cornelia’s nickname), to make the best use of his abilities. Also, the choice to use a fire magic spell, was probably to target the undead’s weakness.] (Emilia)

[This is really beyond expectations. His battle sense is really high. Also, the materials that are collected are magnicifent. Did you see how he did it?] (Carlo)

Carlo’s question made everyone look perplexed.

[How do I explain it…… He sank his hand into the monster’s figure like magic, which then disappeared—] (Havoc)

[And the next thing that happened, was how he cleanly took out the materials….. How does he make a body disappear?] (Cornelia)

[Teleportation…… No, I think it’s some dimensional magic, but I don’t understand the logic behind the material gathering.] (Emilia)

[So he used magic to gather the materials, but all of you failed to spot the most important procedure…… Hah—] (Carlo)

[Do you not understand the crux of the situation—?] (Cornelia)

Cornelia yelled with fiery anger at Carlo’s thoughtful humming.

[It’s outrageous no matter what way you slice it! First it’s that ridiculous weight he’s carrying and the mysterious dimensional s.p.a.ce that makes bodies disappear! Then the way how he makes the materials appear processed when it does! I don’t know how he does it, but one has never heard of something like that before, so tell us where did you think the bodies went!] (Cornelia)

Everyone’s head nodded.
