[Hans?]
[…It seems that Your Majesty has taken it upon yourself to murder this little old me I’m merely a lowly Alchemist, yet you wish me to face a Vampire Duke, sire?]
That dissatisfied voice I hadn’t heard in a long while finally caic co out loud, causing the people in the church to stare at ain, [I guess we can communicate normally now]
[That’s because I’m near the city of Chaves, sire However, the weather is really, really hot here There’s a serious danger of the co off abruptly]
[Actually, I wanted to ask you about so what, sire?]
I finally asked Hans about this thing I had been curious about for a long while [I want to know atory, Your Majesty?]
[Yeah That Purgatory]
While chatting to Hans, I continued to keepthe survivors I even revived the dead vers for ure out a way to infiltrate the city’s fortress
It shouldn’t have been that hard to figure that out, but then, the vaue and made it near impossible for a zombie rat to sneak into the castle
Man, it’d been so much nicer to learn the interior layout of the fortress…
While I was thinking about that, the eyes of a zo, and transroup of people cautiously walking into the underground sewage tunnel, currently filled with holy water The group consisted of Gril, Adolf, and Yuria, plus one other person acting like a guide
‘Oho? Thatabout’
They must’ve heard about the current situation fro out a suitable infiltration route right now
I began pondering so them And then, I directed the zoerous, there was so they needed to do for ht now
(TL: In 3rd person POV)
Gril, Adolf and Yuria alking in the sewer tunnel The person guiding theh the orks was the acquaintance of Gril, a man named Paelon
“Thank, Paelon I appreciate that you’re helping us out like this, even though it’s really dangerous!” Gril spoke up, but Paelon could only sround ith a stunned face Not a speck of light could enter here, so this whole sewer system should be covered in pitch-black darkness, but instead it was glowing brightly
All thanks to the flowing holy water, of course
“W-well, I’ my best to survive out here, after all However, I have to say, you guys are really incredible Priests To think that you can even spread plagues that only affect the va troubled expressions to float up on Yuria and Gril’s faces
Honestly speaking, they had no idea how a plague of this kind ca froh the communication, but…
{Someone else has infiltrated the city as well I pray that you don’t unduly trouble that person during your mission}
Since Charlotte, as a Marquis, sounded quite respectful when talking about that h station Both Yuria and Gril were puzzled by the revelation, but Adolf could ht be
“If you keep going this way, you’ll reach the tunnel that directly connects to the fortress, everyone” Paelon pointed to a tunnel up ahead and spoke to the group
“Thanks, htly, then spoke to Adolf next “Adolf, you should report to Charlotte right away!”
He then tilted his head in puzzle on the floor, intently staring at a little mouse in front of him
“…I had no idea that Uncle Adolf could speak to rats,” said Yuria
“Y-yeah, you’re right Me neither”
Adolf stood back up after picking up the mouse He then looked back at Gril and Yuria “We have a new mission”
“Eh? Really?”
Did he chat to Charlotte, even though he looked like he was playing with a mouse?
“This time, the command has been issued directly by His Majesty the Holy Emperor”
The expressions of both Yuria and Gril hardened
“We are to get captured by the vampires in order to infiltrate the castle” Adolf continued on, then stared at Paelon next “And you, sir, are to inform the vampires of our presence”
Paelon was absolutely stupefied at Adolf’s words
Solid shackles were placed on the ared to the underground prison of the Chaves fortress
Gril began pouring out all sorts of insults at his friend through the prison bars “You stinking traitor bastard! I swear, I’onna bury you in the slime sht pit later!”
“You did well, livestock,” a lycan sneered and addressed Paelon
He rubbed his hands subserviently And while trying to gauge the lycan’s mood, he replied, “T-thank you, sir”
“As your reward, we’ll let you live for a bit longer”
“…”
Paelon continued to bow and kohile cold sweat caked his face He then snuck a glance at Gril, looking rather worried as he did so
“…Well, we soot inside, and without too much trouble either,” said Yuria after Paelon and the lycan left She smacked her lips “But there’s not a lot we can do here”
The infiltration part of the roup to the lycans, and the undead swiftly showed up to arrest them
Adolf, Gril, and Yuria obediently put their weapons down, then surrendered without any resistance They had ed to enter the prison, but now…
The problem came after that All of their equipment had been confiscated Even if they had received intense training, there was still very little they could do in this place without any proper equipetting tortured Now that I think about it, I really hated going through those anti-torture training sessions back then…” Yuria otta do soh,” Adolf replied positively for soed her shoulders, then asked hi to do?”
Adolf pulled out a rat fro and placed it on the floor
Gril and Yuria stared at this little critter and tilted their heads in confusion, before shi+fting their gazes back to Adolf, their expressions clearly asking, ‘Have you finally lost your uy?” Yuria finally asked
“What were you planning to do by releasing a rat?” Gril folloith a question of his own
“This is no ordinary ful smile “It’s actually His Majesty’s h the prison bars and quickly scampered around the prison’s corridors This creature’s vision was currently being shared with Allen, and it began scanning each and every cell through the bars

Not here?
In that case, somewhere deeper in the prison, then!
The rat continued to scurry down the corridor, eventually reaching a certain location right at the end of the prison: a steel door
The zoh the hole meant to observe the situation inside the cell
