What do you think?　The Viscountess Edengle-Heimlich

Fenrir-Laguna said.

His messenger - a black wolf about twice as long as an adult - howled as if he wanted answers.

To his employer, Edengle-Heimlich, cowering in front of the Adventurer's Guild.

'I'm asking you what you're going to do. 'My employer.'

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask the baroness to come to the guard station.

A guard with a shield and a spear stepped forward in front of Fenrir-Laguna.

'I must now talk to you about the series of events. I will handle it respectfully and you need not worry.

Get out of my way.

With Fenrir-Laguna's voice, the wolf swung its paws.

Its claws split the guard's shield in half.

The guard's body was blown off by the impact. He hit the wall of the Adventurer's Guild and crumbled down.

'I'm talking to my employer. What do you think, Edengle-Heimlich?

”...... and pretend it never happened.

Edengle-Heimlich said as he huddled.

'I don't want to be here. I just want to get out of my way and leave.'

Yes, sir.

The black wolf that Fenrir-Laguna straddled barked.

'Are you insane, Lady Edengle!

The rest of the guards hold their spears.

''The townspeople are watching, too. If you do this, it will hurt the name of the Viscount's family!''

Edengle-Heimlich did not answer.

Instead, it was the black wolf messenger who moved.

With its claws, fangs, and limbs, it mowed down the guards.

''Stop!　Fenrir-Laguna!

The leader of the 'Hounds of Dawn', a woman, shouted.

''What's the point of doing this!　Lady Edengle has already made a 'pact' with the adventurers!　He accepted responsibility and promised to pay for it!

What happens when that person disappears?

Fenrir-Laguna sniffed, huffing and puffing.

'...... what?'

'What happens when there are no more adventurers?　What if the town is destroyed?　The 'contract' means nothing to you!

”You are ...... what are you talking about?

The leader of the 'Hound of Dawn' drew his sword.

A short sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left.

With the two weapons in hand, he stood in front of the guards.

''Whose fault is it that this happened in the first place!　You were the one who suggested we wait at the inn.　And he instructed me to seal the entrance to the saint's labyrinth with magic!　And the one who slit the back of the wizard who hated it!　And that's what it comes down to!

'This is in keeping with our goal of monopolizing the treasure and heritage. If the town collapses, there will be no one left to go after the saint's legacy or to search for the dragon's relics. So we'd lose our base of operations for the search.

At Fenrir-Laguna's words, everything in the place was speechless.

'Then the only people who will be able to venture in this land will be those noblemen who can adequately prepare food and equipment. There will be no more hindrance to adventurers. There may still be an ancient legacy lying in this land. If the nobles can monopolize it, shouldn't they turn a blind eye to a little damage?

Stupid things!

The leader of The Hound of the Dawn slashes at Fenrir-Laguna.

The leader's short sword is caught by the wolf's claws. She lets go of the sword and slashes at the wolf with her dagger──.

Don't make me use my extra magic.

The leader of the Hounds of Dawn collapsed as a blue wolf suddenly appeared and slashed his back.

''Don't summon two of them. This is not good for you!

...... to ...... allies to ...... so far to ......?

I'm sorry. You and I live in a different world. Besides, when this job is done, I'm going to take a slave. Not a man, not a demi-human, as a sign of bravery. Well, when I tell you, you won't understand.

Fenrir-Laguna looked at Edengle, who was cowering.

'So what do we do now? 'The Viscountess.'

”...... get those guys. Or do you want me to turn them off?

'Is this a saint or a substitute for a celestial dragon?'

Both. Ever since they came out, everything's been wrong.

The saint said, 'Keep the west wall open.' If that's the case, maybe she's headed that way. For the protection of the city.

Fenrir-Laguna cleared his throat, clucking happily.

'Turn those guys off!　Eliminate my failure itself!　I'll give you everything I inherit from the Viscountess!

Edengle shuddered and shouted.

'This isn't right. I've been educated to be worthy of a prince, to be chosen, to be a candidate, and here I am!　I just want to get rid of anyone who gets in my way and start over!　So!

All right. Your daughter, the Viscountess.

Fenrir-Laguna turned to the remaining 'Hound of Dawn' adventurers.

''You're going to help me, 'The Hound of Dawn'.

GUAAAAAAAA!

The wolves howled in response to Fenrir-Laguna's voice.

''Neither the Saintess nor the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon' wants to go out in the open. That means they should avoid the main street. So, beat those who are advancing down the alleyway from the outset!　I'll get the axe in the end.

Fenrir-Laguna looked at the adventurers of The Hound of Dawn with oddly gentle eyes.

That's why Viscount Edengle said he's willing to put you in the regular army.

...... Exactly, but...

Edengle nodded at Fenrir-Laguna's words.

'You are all I have left. You can't work in this town either. You will always be with me. We have no choice but to trust each other.

The 'Hounds of Dawn' start to move.

They ran towards the western ramparts with a sideways glance at their cowering leader.

''What the hell are you, ......?　I don't know, it's .......

”I shall follow the path of the brave. Viscountess.

Fenrir-Laguna patted the two wolves with a curiously gentle face.

He said, ”─ ─ Among those who are called from ─ ─, those who are more selective will be able to walk this path. I'm sure you'll find a glory that you'll envy. That's the Path of the Brave. That's all there is to it.

''You are the 'agents of the Heavenly Dragon'?!''

...... You've really been chasing me: ......

Seriously. I don't have time for this.

The three adventurers standing in front of us are... The Hounds of the Dawn.

The wizard was swallowed by Hydra, and the restorer was defeated in the Saint's Labyrinth and has yet to recover. So only the three vanguard members are left. Come to think of it, though, we don't have a leader woman.

''I left the west side of the city walls open for you guys.

I pulled my hood down and said, ”I think your best option is to fight off the Hydra there.

”I think fighting off the Hydra there is the best option for you guys, don't you? Am I right?

The 'Hounds of the Dawn' all raised their weapons at once. It doesn't look good.

This is a narrow road that leads to the city wall. It's raining and the ground is muddy, so it's hard to move. Is it impossible to escape?

An old house is around. No one lives here.

It's just me and Cecil.

Cecil is holding my hand, hiding his face with his hood, and he's holding my hand.

I let Iris and Rafilia go first. Rita and Aine have gone their separate ways.

I'd like to avoid the battle if possible. There's no point. And I don't want to use Cecil's magical powers either.

You're the best party in town, what are you doing ...... at a time like this?

I said.

”to cover our mistakes.

The answer comes back from the 'Hound of Dawn' as if it were obvious.

''No, the town is in trouble right now. If the town itself disappears, the title of 'the best party in town' won't mean anything!

”We don't need to know that!　We have no choice but to follow Lady Edengle now!

There was no question.

The Hounds of the Dawn are running.

They look straight at us.

They don't even notice that the wall of the house beside them is collapsing and the puddles underneath their feet are spreading to the hole in the wall.

It's the hole I had just broken with Building Strike Lv 1. My friends are hiding behind it.

Their feet stepped on the muddy ground.

Then I shouted, ”My slave.

”I command you, my slave. ”and bring to justice any adventurer who will not listen to me!

”Yes, my master. Activate 'sewage increase level 1'!

I remember Rita once saying to me, ”I don't think I can beat Aine on a rainy day.

The fantasy world has poor surface drainage. On a rainy day, there are puddles all over the place.

All of those places are boundaries for Aine.

'Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The 'Hounds of Dawn', whose bodies have been drained of water, are rolling around on the ground.

I thought they would attack us anyway, so I broke through some of the walls of the abandoned house.

The one closest to the ground. So that the puddles could get inside. And Aine was waiting inside the abandoned house.

So I was able to use Sewage Increase Lv 1 through the wall.

As long as the puddles were connected, this skill would work well enough.

'...... hii ...... haha ...... uuah!'

And then, with a crunch, the adventurers of The Hound of Dawn fell on the puddle of water.

The Hounds of the Dawn have destroyed the party! I'm alive.

I didn't think the adventurers would come first.

Aine said, stunting the enemy party with a 'memory wipe'.

'It's a common pattern to see what's going on with a mid-level character, and then the Rathboss comes in to mess with you.

You read it perfectly, Nagi: ......

'It's natural. Besides, since Cecil-chan was with me, Aine felt safe to separate.

Cecil and Aine held each other's hands peacefully.

I expected the pursuers to come. It would be troublesome if they messed with you after you got to the castle walls, so we decided to intercept them first.

It seems to have worked.

According to the message from Rita, the ”visitor” was heading towards the guild.

So they picked up an adventurer from The Hound of Dawn there and gave him a head start.

I'm used to using ...... people. They could be a pain in the ass.

Me, Cecil and Aine went ahead.

I'm not going to be the only one who has a problem with it.

The cheat character controlling the wolf-shaped messenger is heading our way. Did you notice the sounds of battle?

I'm going to have to go. Cecil, Aine.

We start running.

After a while, we come to an open area.

'Brother!' Master, over here!

Iris and Raphilia were waiting for me. The saint's golem is also with them.

It's only a short distance from here to the city walls.

The 'visitors' will be met here.

''Nagi-sama!　There's a reaction to ”magical knowledge”. The messenger is coming!''

The moment Cecil cried out──a beast appeared from the darkness.

There were two of them.

A red and a blue wolf. The size is about the size of an adult male.

'GURUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU──!

The two cows growled and stared at us.

”...... A messenger of a guy named Fenrir. He's the one who chews and the one who tears.

Mr. Delilira (Golem) said. 'I see.

''It's like one of the jaws gets huge and eats everything and the other one tears apart everything with its claws.

'So why are you taking a line from Delilira!

And then the last one appears. It is an extraordinarily large - a black wolf.

On its back, a black-haired boy was riding.

It's the one that was with the nobleman during the parade. This is ”Fenrir-Laguna”?

”Are you a messenger of the saints?　Or is it 'The Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon'?

Come on, I think you've got the wrong guy.

I said.

”So, you're the baroness's lackey.

I'll let you choose.

The boy on the black wolf said.

'Either you'll be killed by me here and brought to the 'White Guild' as material, or you'll surrender fully here, and after you've told me everything, you'll 'sign a contract' to be under my command.

...... er.

I think he's trying to concede, but I'm not.

'But first, could you take down Hydra?　The ”wolfman

I'm sorry. I don't do that kind of work.

...... You're a big deal.

'Yeah, I'm on the 'path of the brave'. You can't even imagine what the future holds for you.
