156 Action Spy (1/2)

Like that, I was brought into the cellar.

I was seated down on a chair with the underling's iron grip still on my shoulder. Around me were faces of the Doem Camp. In front of me stood Maximilian.

”Now…” The bossman looked down at me with cold eyes. ”Those five I mentioned. We found them this morning with their chests pierced through. You don't happen to know anything about that, do you?”

I could see traces of the blood from yesterday on the floor.

”I, I don't know anything, sir… please believe me!”

”Then tell me, what were you doing last night? Were you not supposed to drug the princess and bring her here?”

Ah, looks like he knows about that.

”Yes, I was indeed told to do just that. But I… I just couldn't…”

”So the nerves got you.” Maximilian said, his gaze turning sharper. ”And then, a coward like you had the audacity to carefreely stroll around in the camp. One would imagine you would go into hiding… no?”

”Hm…?”

H-he's right!

Me acting like I had this morning isn't something a mob like me should've been doing.

You're brilliant, Maximilian.

”N-no, that wasn't! I really was scared and…”

”You certainly looked fine to me. Until my men and I arrived, you looked not the least bit scared. Now, you will speak what you know.”

Maximilian drew his knife. The sharp blade glinted in the flame of the sole lamp.

Right. So I've failed.

Too bad. Let's kill them now.

I was about to go Shadow-mode and unleash slime h.e.l.l on them when— I sensed her coming.

Not a moment later, the lamp went dark.

”Someone's there!!”

She had arrived.

Wearing a pitch black slime bodysuit, with her slime sword, she launched a fierce attack towards Maximilian.

”d.a.m.n you…!”

Maximilian also reacted fast to the sudden a.s.sault.

He quickly turned and avoided the blade coming for his neck, then jumped back to take distance.

It wasn't a perfect dodge however, as blood gushed from his shoulder.

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You must be… OWL. And you're a woman.”

She didn't answer.

Some of the other men were already down on the floor near her. She's gotten more skilled.

”Hmph, seems you've made it easier for me.”

Maximilian took out a sword from a crate.

He fell into a loose stance and observed his opponent. Yup, he's somewhat skilled too.

”… Surround her.”

The remaining men also found swords and did as their boss had commanded.

If they'd been holding guns instead of blades, it would've been like some spy movie action scene.

So exciting.

I gulped in antic.i.p.ation.
