601 599 Workshop Burning (1/2)
Zelaisse's whereabouts were revealed. They're in a workshop making scarlet water meds.
Where's Roblen?
”Oh, I guess so”
Could we just keep going? I'm not making a fool of Roblen, but I don't think I can do anything about Zelaise.
If this one finds out he's suspicious of the workshop, Zelaise will be on the run immediately.
You just can't leave this ship alone, can you? Not everyone has been able to be captured, and not all executives, such as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, have been captured.
Troubled, I heard a Ursi howl. At the same time, there are multiple signs coming towards this ship.
”Hi, looks like the adventurers are here.”
There was no sense of urgency in Ursi's voice. I guess it's not the enemy.
And when he went out to the deck, the adventurers approached him in a boat. Some of them look familiar. These are the Rank C adventurers Dagor, who have had mock warfare before.
”The Black Thunder Princess! It's been a long time! You look good, above all!
”Mm. And Dagor.”
”Ha ha. That's one of the few things I've ever dealt with. Now, Lord Roblen asked me to come to control this ship, what is the situation?
Explain to Dagor, the summariser of the adventurers, that Gregory, tied and rolled next to him, told them everything and that this Chamber of Commerce is the hiding place of the Reids kingdom.
”I heard it in Lord Roblen's explanation, was it still true...”
”Can I take care of the rest?
”Let it be entrusted to you. How about Princess Black Thunder?
”Heading to the workshop”
”I see.”
”Since we broke in, no one has escaped. Unless you're using metastases or something.”
Yes, it is. It's not surprising that the president of the Chamber of Commerce and others have about a blade of metastasis ready to escape. However, that shouldn't travel very long distances.
That would be a critical distance to get out of the ship. If anyone had metastasized that close, there was no way they wouldn't have noticed me or Ursi.
But there is a possibility that there are magic tools of metastasis that we don't know about, and that the Chairman of Commerce was actually a user of space-time magic. In that case, I honestly couldn't help it.
”In the meantime, all the humans on this ship are tied up.”
”I understand.”
Now we can get to the workshop. I just don't know the exact location, so I just want guidance. If you can see it from here, it's easy.
If that's what you're thinking...
DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
”Ugh!”
”Off!”
”Wow.”
Fran and Ursi shrugged their necks in a sudden sounding roar. I was surprised, too, and I accidentally raised my voice.
When I looked in the direction where I heard the sound, I knew immediately what caused it.
From a small ship on the corner of the commercial fleet, a giant fire column was spraying up into the sky. Something must have exploded.
What's happening?
Accident? Case? Were you attacked by a warcraft?
