Episode 10: Behind the Banquet

Two hours from the start of the banquet.

The prepared meal was also eaten and dissolved where he was drunk.

The servants of the Alcaine family seemed concerned about leaving the ballroom behind without cleaning it up, but the ballroom cleanup was to be carried out by the innkeepers. And Daryl, a talented and righteous son of the former Lord, remained in the banquet hall as well as in the current and former lords and chambers of commerce. So the servants return to the room they were given.

Their wives aren't already in the ballroom because they're going to bathe again.

So, with Mr. Freddy and the private leader, I approach your grandfathers.

"What's up?

"Actually, there's something I'd like the three of you to see."

"Something you want me to look at?

What am I supposed to show you at this late hour?

I'm turning a surprise glance, but I can't go on without them looking at me.

"Okay. Where is it?

"There is a warehouse in the Inn's garden. I keep it there, so can you move it that way?

"You have no choice."

Mr. Werth was also supposed to convince us that he would come to us.

The ballroom has almost been cleaned up, and if you leave it to your employees later, it's fine.

"So what is it that you want to show us?

"The product itself is simple, but I wanted to talk to you about it because it was difficult to handle."

"You don't get the rules."

I didn't have anything to worry about if I had to dispose of it too, but I couldn't do that, so I wanted to talk to you.

I arrived at the warehouse while I was doing so.

"Don't worry, there's no danger for now"

"What..."

It was Mr. Daryl confused by my words, but I was surprised to see what was in the warehouse.

There were seven men in the warehouse whose hands and feet were restrained with rope and rolled to the floor, staring at the person who came into the warehouse. Suddenly, if you can look at it, you can't help but retreat later in a merchant unfamiliar with rough things.

"Who the hell are they?

"He's an assailant."

"What...?

The men turn away from my word 'raider'.

"I'll explain one person at a time. First of all, there were two of them in front of us, but they were trying to snipe through the trees in the garden into the darkness about your grandfather."

"What the...!?

I can't help but be surprised if they let me know that I was being targeted at some point exactly.

"This is the gun that was used to snipe, by the way."

Take the sniper gun out of the storage ring and submit the evidence.

"Looks like one was a sniper and the other was in a perimeter vigilant role. So he asked our sniper to tail him the other way around."

I asked Ira to apply a special sleeping pill to the arrow before they both shot through it.

The two pierced by arrows were unconscious without any resistance, and were retrieved by Ira after being put to sleep on the ground and brought to the warehouse.

"So, the two next door were waiting around the corner to raid Mr. Werth, who stood in the bathroom. About this, I asked Sylvia, the fastest leg, to take a detour and finish it."

Just prune your consciousness, though.

If you're drunk and somewhat unaware of footsteps, Mr. Werth, your opponent can circle behind them who were hiding even when you made the roundabout. When Mr. Werth recovered the raiders as they were, they were transported to the warehouse.

By the way, we've recovered the poisoned knife that was about to be used in the raid.

"So, what about this guy?

At the end of Mr. Darryl's gaze was a man in an employee's uniform rolled over to sleep.

"He was poisoning the food."

"Poison!?

I fear poison as an organism even if I don't know what poison it is.

"He was the most suspicious, wasn't he?"

Anyway, Aaron, the previous owner, had made a suspicious move to poison a meal that he thought he would definitely eat, and to approach dishes that had not been eaten by any of his employees. Normally, employees approach when cleaning up eaten meals or refilling new dishes.

"Why...?

"Hmm?"

"I did plant poison. I also saw the moment when the previous Lord would speak of the dish. Yet why can the former Lord live!?

"Have I eaten poisonous dishes..."

Your grandfather was ashamed that he ate it without realizing it was poisoned.

No, I was watching, too, but my grandfather, who was smiling and eating shrimp chili because he liked shrimp, looked delicious. Besides, I didn't even notice the discomfort that was poisoned thanks to the red and spicy dish called shrimp chili.

Naturally, it's a drama that leads to death if left intact.

So I was just pre-detoxified.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know what kind of drama drug you used, but there's a healing pill over here that can detoxify any poison. The poison you planted was detoxified."

The poison was neutralized thanks to a healing pill your grandfather had planted before he ate it after making sure it was poisoned.

"The three remaining ones are the most unforgivable. They were trying to plant explosives in the room where we were sleeping."

"Explosives!?

Besides, the amount was quite large, something that had the power to blow up parts of the inn just by detonating it.

As for them, he stopped Melissa by asking her to close behind him and force him to sleep with her invisible by magic. The room where the explosives were planted was divided between the three of us, so the target was supposedly indiscriminate.

"Why not?

"Hmm?"

"Our secret should have been perfect. How could you have known we existed!?

I know you're here. It was a naive way to hide from us, but I think it was perfect when it came to the way the signs faded. Instead of escorting people, including Mr. Freddy, no one even noticed the innkeeper. There was no bareback.

The cause lies in the magic tools they possessed.

This is it.

I look at the pendant removed from the storage ring and circle my eyes out of surprise.

"I hear this guy has a constant effect on the signs of the wearer. But unfortunately, our skills were better."

Labyrinth Manipulation: Map (Map) allows you to make the surrounding terrain look like a map and display it in your head. [Detection], Sylvia's skill, could be superimposed there to show people's movements in detail.

We were vigilant from the fact that the trap was being set up while we were on the move, and we kept vigilant as we immediately made it look relaxed in this way.

It may have been difficult to be vigilant until you were bathing just us, but thanks to the labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core) there was constant surveillance.

"By the way, what can I do in these cases?

Ask Freddie, who watched in dismay about the men caught in the back.

I have taken on requests for escorts before, but the bandits and demons that attacked me at that time have been exterminated. Because of this, I don't know how to deal with the case of captivity, so I also brought in a description of the circumstances.

"Right...... first we need to know if these are the only raiders"

If there were other raiders, it means there will be raids in the future.

The number of escorts is less than twenty, but there are more than twenty people, including servants, who are powerless to fight. It is difficult to escort everyone in numbers, and it may be difficult to fight alone in the Freddies, who did not realize there were raiders.

It's important to make sure you don't have any other people.

"Then we've found at least one."

"What...?

"I brought you here."

A woman's voice reaches the warehouse and everyone turns to you.

Coming to the warehouse, Ira threw the man on her shoulder in front of the men who slept on the floor.

"Wow, that's terrible..."

The raiders who were in the warehouse earlier were restrained with little trauma, but the newly brought raiders were bleeding, as if their hands and feet had been judged with sharp objects.

"Can you believe it? He was hiding behind the ceiling of this stripper trying to snipe. Then I skewered my hands and legs with a magical ice-cold so that angry Melissa wouldn't find out about them. It's like I was magically trying not to reach this guy at the time, so I haven't even heard a scream."

I don't suppose it's actually a peek, but that would have meant I was trying to peek naked at the women.

I was just checking on the plans. I wasn't checking to a detailed location because I left the response to them acting with the wives.

That makes Melissa angry.

"Well, are you all nine?

……

None of the raiders answer.

Ma, I don't think it would be so easy for the Raiders to crack their mouths if they were professionals.

"This......!

Ira, irritated by the raiders who did not answer, had her hands on the sword.

It's still early.

"Wait, Ira."

"What? Are you gonna stop it?"
