“Will it be destruction, or will it be checkmate
Those are the ends to our fate”
Yes, there is no longer anything I can do
I was so frustrated blood was dripping from my fists
There is already, nothing I can do
What should I do…!
“Now then, what do you think of this situation”
“Ganglabe I think this is a trap”
“I, as well This sort of letter cauy who ordered for our house arrest My gut tells me there has to be a catch”
“I think so too, su Frorasped, I think the other side is in a rush, su”
We were holding ain front of a letter which arrived at the inn
Arranging Ganglabe’s Mercenary Corps’ contact network I, Ganglabe had decided on the likely date ere to mobilise, when I read the letter froy
That letter was frois Sounity and it’s contents as follows
『I wish to consider the punish the aforementioned cook
Not only that I order that all the commanders are to attend to the castle』
In addition to it being written in a way that looked down on us quite a bit, and even despite us being angry that the contents, how nothat this is a good opportunity
“Let’s think about it
It’s true that this letter is bullshi+t I the cri that what to do, so it’s suspicious that they would intentionally send us a letter It’s normal to immediately decide the punishment, then call us out to that place
Despite showing that they want to coe in without thinking It’s extremely suspicious
Most likely, I think why the contents are like this is because they think that if they decided the punisher
But you see, if we go in carrying this letter then, we can enter the castle without any hesitation at all
Let’s take this opportunity to help Shuri out of there, and escape frolabe)
“That’s not a bad idea but, we don’t knohere Shuri is held right?” (Cougar)
“They only said the dungeon after all
It wasn’t confirmed if it was a special jail or a normal jail
Since it’s a castle It’s different frouard’s cells
Let me just say this but, we don’t know if there’s a special jail or not” (Ahrius)
“Once we get inside the castle should we erase our presence and search around together, su?” (Teg)
Teg’s suggestion is alluring but, there’s no e can do it just like that
“That’s dangerous Teg
If we proceed with even one of us is ht suspect that we left to recover Shuri” (Cougar)
“That’s true If possible, wait for an opportunity at the conference room, then request to leave but…” (Ahrius)
Ahrius said, looking troubled as she worries
Indeed, Teg and Ahrius’ points are valid If even one of us isfor everyone it’ll be nothing less than suspicious If ait for an opportunity at the conference roo abilities but, that’s wishful thinking
It’s not out of the question but, it’s rather unlikely
Trying to sort this out, we don’t know the most vital information, that is, Shuri’s whereabouts
It can even be said that this is fatal for a rescue operation If we don’t know the location of our rescue target then, we can’t even think to plan the route, from the rescue to the breakout
However, thinking about it now, this is strange
Rumours have no doors Even if it’s a territory like this, even if it’s the castle town, froe to the city, it’s a truth which can be applied
At any rate, by nature hurave secrets
There are those who can with training and education but, normally you’d wish to tell someone
By the way, this isn’t for the sake of adding to the argu tiirl at the bar outside of town
In short, it’s because you would want a corave secret with
If you can’t carry it by yourself then, it’s fine to let others carry the burden as well And then if the information leaks then it’ll be that person’s fault
Dispersion of e It’s one of the self-defence mechanisms humans have
Which is why, there is one answer that can be derived from this
There is only one person in charge of actuallyShuri
That guy isall the information so that it doesn’t spread outside The opponent is quite skilled I think it can be said that regarding information wars, that person has reached an expert level
Most likely, it’s thesaw have an audience with the first prince I think thatas Shuri’s jailor
Now then, what should we do
To be honest, as long as we can end up grasping Shuri’s whereabouts, we’ve won
Preparation for that sake As it were, I’
Being li
As I was contee of my clothes was pulled
“Hn, What’s up? Riru?”
Riru lets go ofcuriously
“Why are you worrying so much?”
“Because there’s no way to find Shuri’s whereabouts
You understand right?”
“I don’t”
Riru shook her head sideways
“Riru doesn’t think that there’s a need for coies this time”
“Ha? That’s…”
What does she mean?
Before I could continue my words, Riru says
“Break through the front It’s good if we can rescue Shuri with a swift attack operation
Contact our subordinates, if we guarantee enough members for a jailbreak then, the rest can be done with everyone’s strength like, donnn”
Riru spreads out her hands to represent the largeness of the, donnn
However, it’s simple
It’s simple but, kukuku
“Haha, that’s true
There’s no need to worry”
I once again looked at my comrade’s expressions
Everyone was looking as if they agreed to this simple answer
And with an impatient look as if they wanted to wreck havoc
A swift attack operation huh
I see, if I borrow the power of everyone here then wouldn’t we be able to get through this somehow
The expert of the sword, Cougar cuts open a path
The professional of archery and scouting, Teg can quickly save Shuri
The ic, Ahrius annihilates the enemy
The heaven-sent genius of athers attention with her inventions
Lastly I, with e somehow
“Ganglabe”
Now then, when I was trying think of a strategy, Riru started talking again
“Honestly speaking Riru has a concern with the rescue operation”
“Concern? What concerns do you have with everyone here being warriors capable ofa thousand”
“It’s about Shuri”
“Shuri? We’ll definitely save him From those at the castle, everyone”
“If we harm the people of the castle, Shuri will definitely feel hurt”
Riru looked doards
“Since, Shuri is kind Up till now, he has supported Riru and everyone with our jobs and finding solutions to whatever he could
But, if we’re reckless with the operation this tiet hurt, or hurt the people of the castle
I think that Shuri will definitely be hurt thinking that it was his fault”
Riru looked down, her expression as if saying of her worries and anxious feelings
Those words, made all of us think for a little bit
Cougar, folding his arms with a difficult expression
Ahrius, pondering with her hand on her chin
Teg was gri
Si we have to rework the operation
Indeed, Shuri is kind Thinking about what to cook while worrying about us, and building up good feelings between the subordinates
To the point where he’s too kind
I think he’s too kind to live ast a mercenary corp
Even if I say that, the workplace of a mercenary corp is in the battlefield Shuri has also accepted that Which is why I can’t bring myself to tell him to stop
What about this time?
If I were to say then, the battle this tie
The reason being arresting Shuri
Shuri is the victiht that has nothing to do ork, if it becomes that the people in the castle die enmercenary corp?
Hethat it was his fault
On the contrary, it’s also troubling what Shuri would becoht on, as the scra unfolded in front of hi to the front lines until noas due to that kindness
I have seen this countless times
Before going out to the battlefield, that person was a nice guy Their skill with the sasn’t bad, and there was no problem with their character
However, killing people on a battlefield, the s to their body, the scenes of the battlefield filled with corpses wound up burning into their brain, and that guy ended up breaking down and quit Regarding people’s deaths, not eventhat our jobs are the cause Kind people cannot come with us
That applies even to Shuri
Shuri is kind Originally, he shouldn’t be in so like aat a bar in town
However, I
That this guy is necessary for our mercenary corp
Which is why I took hi him here
I understand that if I really thought of him as a comrade I should’ve let Newbyst have him
If it’s there right now then, there’s no need to pull Shuri along to battlefields, he’ll be appointed to a high rank due to his cooking skill, it’s easy to i success Safely, and at ease
Having not done that, was ment
And that, must continue even now
“That’s true That guy is kind, a person who understands people’s feelings I don’t want to show him too much of that stuff
In that case”
In order to continue, I can only rack at my brain
In order to protect my comrade, my family
Making this brain rotate with all it’s power, to construct a strategy
“Without hurting even a single person is, impossible but
Without killing even a single person then, it’s possible somehow”
All the commanders focused at my words
Wait for us, Shuri
We’ll end this dispute, and go meet you!
(TL: So should I keep the brackets saying who says what all the ti? Cause everyone actually has a unique way of speaking but it’s hard to convert it to english without it sounding weird and I don’t wanna go all ‘ay duncha go tachin dat’
I don’t kno to poll here so… Strawpoll yolo )
