25 [1-25] Trojan Trojomerai (2/2)

--But how are they going to get me?　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the best way to get the best out of me.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the best way to get rid of them.

”Iris!　There you are.

Suddenly there's someone calling my name from beneath my feet.

”Benedict!

Benedict is in the courtyard, inside the walls, waving at me.

Knowing that Benedict has no intention of doing so, Iris (Renée) casually presses the skirt of her robe. If it were to spread a little in the wind right now, ......

--I'm not sure if I've done anything normally girly now.　I've been living as ...... Rene for 10 years, so it's not surprising that I have that habit.

It was a little complicated for Choujiro, but Benedict didn't seem to notice such complicated and twisted gender problems.

”Here, take it. It's for you.

Benedict threw up a large card-like object.

It spun around and flew into the air, and Iris (Rene) caught it in front of her with a white blade.

It was an envelope stamped with the stamp of the Adventurer's Guild.

--From the Adventurer's Guild?

”Thanks, Benedict.

Waving Benedict off, Iris (Rene) opens the envelope.

Inside was a letter of invitation from the guild.

It was long and overly ornate, but to summarize the seven lines of text into one line, it said, ”We found a flaw in your previous quest report, so come and correct it.

As an adventurer and as a guild, this is the part of the story that should not be taken lightly.

That's why it's too suspicious.

Or rather, the timing is too good.

Iris (Rene) thought that something was wrong, and she immediately had an idea.

--Oh ......!　There's a Night Python insider in the Adventurer's Guild!　He was a spy for the city python, but the territorial python must have contacted him again.

You can't do anything about it anyway, and there's no natural way to tell ...... the existence of the insider, so you left it out. You're using it here: ......

I'm not sure if it's a fake document that the guild's insiders put out on their own, or if they made the branch manager (master) write something that he didn't say, but I'm pretty sure he's involved.

And since the Dragon's Throat's job is to protect the Count, it's unlikely that they would leave the castle together. Especially now, right after the assassination attempt on the Count.

Inevitably, Iris (Rene) alone, or at least the two of them, will go out.

It was a trap to lure Iris out of the house.

--Okay, okay, I'll take advantage of that. The duck will go out with a leek on its back. But with poisonous ducks and leeks!　You'll get sick to your stomach!

I'm more in the mood for fishing. The fish are coming. All we have to do is bait them.

--Well... Don't go to ...... to talk to the party. You might get stopped. Let's just keep going.

”Fly.

Iris (Rene) jumped down from the castle wall under the watchful eyes of the guards.

The men watching seemed to panic at this and began to move in a hurry, surprised and impatient.

Following their movements, Iris (Rene) softly flew through the air and descended into the city.

She landed on the street that flanked the castle and began to walk the shortest distance to the Adventurer's Guild.

It was a path through the intricate houses and alleys between the buildings. In short, a perfect place to attack.

Two men with hostile intent were rapidly approaching.

I no longer need to use my emotional sensing power, I can feel their presence so strongly that I can almost reach out and touch them.

You may think you're killing the presence, but ”reading the presence” means sensing the faint flow of magic power. And Iris (Rene) is an undead who uses magic to perceive the world. She is very good at reading signs.

A group of men approach, killing the sound of their footsteps.

They close the gap between Iris (Rene) and the slow walkers. And then.

”Mwah!

When they got close enough, Iris(Rene) was jumped into a hug from behind and her mouth and nose were covered with a damp cloth.

The air tinged with magical power invaded her body. As a matter of courtesy, Iris (Rene) screamed and flailed.

--Sleep Potion: ...... This will work for 3 hours ...... to increase resistance... ...Tantrums...... sleepy.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
