Manowa

would also be scolded.
Therefore, it's safer to say that there's no problem…
Kazane quickly thought that and spoke.
She was a schemer.

「So then, there are no problems with this strategy?」

The person who asked that was Maia, the branch manager of Torda Hot Spring Town's Adventurers Guild.
She also used to be an adventurer, and since she had no objections to the details of the strategy Kazane had spoken so far, she asked the other members if they were the same, and everyone in that place nodded.

「That's right.
The rest depends on whether or not the Ogre Killing Princess can actually do what she said she can, but there are no problems there, right?」

「None.」

Kazane immediately replied to Han Mock's question.
Han Mock didn't feel like objecting either.
Han Mock had heard from fellow adventurers that the rumors weren't just rumors, and he recognized that she wasn't someone he should say anything thoughtless towards.

「Yuuko-nee and I will make the traps and baits.
The rest is a simple job of attacking from the side.」

「Nyaa」

Yuuko-nee, the giant cat with a golden coat next to Kazane, also cried out to agree with her master.

「She's smart, and above that, strong.
I wonder if you could give me one.」

「No.」

Jinrai immediately responded to Terrace's frivolous talk.
Since Jinrai had suddenly pronounced that, Terrace looked at him and said「Umm.」

「Absolutely not.」

He was told once again.
Terrace had no choice but to reply「Ah, ok.」By the way, Jinrai was currently holding the cocoon in his arms.
It was about one size bigger than an ostrich egg.
It seemed the cocoon itself wouldn't grow any bigger; once it cracked and the cat inside came out, it would grow bigger all at once.

And according to the talk he heard from Yuuko-nee last night, the basis of the contents had already been completed, and the rest would be an evolution in response to the will of the one who would be its master, Jinrai.
For that reason, Jinrai was frantically and wholeheartedly reciting in his mind.
The gist was「Become big, become big.」

Yumika was leaning against the wall and thought (how immature) while watching her master's state, and both Louise and Mefirus with her had similar facial expressions.
However, Tiara said「I understand.」Was her brain tissue also in the process of turning into muscle? Scary.

(Well, with these members, that strategy will be fine?)

Yumika thought, but in any case, reality was different from the game.
First of all, there was the question of whether or not the Brutuzas would obediently take the bait, and it wasn't like there were no concerns over whether or not they would successfully completely stop them.

(Also, if we overdo it, they might run away.)

If they overdid it with their first move, the enemies might run away from them before it became a battle.
Monsters were unexpectedly timid and clever.
Kazane's strategy was to corner and hunt them down all at once.

Though be that as it may, there was only one thing Yumika had to do.
Telling herself that there was nothing for her to get worked up about, she calmed her mind.
The moment she thought that.

「?!?」

Yumika suddenly opened the window and looked outside.
She momentarily sensed a great bloodlust.

Noticing her state, everyone in that place turned her direction, and outside the window, Vokka was apologizing to Naoki by saying「It, it was just a joke.」

Lyle noticed Yumika's face peeking out the window and lip-synched to say「The usual.」Seeing that, Yumika's shoulders relaxed.

(Aah, about Kazane again…)

Vokka probably complimented Kazane or did something.
Then, the usual illness activated and he gave a warning.
Emily was muttering「He cares so much about us…」so it might not have been directed at Kazane individually.
He might have specified the whole party and lightly said「I'd like to put the moves on them」or something like that.

In any case, seeing that, Yumika sighed, said「Ah, it's fine」to the members inside who were looking at her questioningly, and closed the window.
The world was still operating normally today.
At least as far as Yumika could see.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

「Kukuku, that was dangerous, don't you think?」

And a man watching the window close from the shadow of a house muttered that.
He thought he might have been found out for a moment, but it seemed that Yumika, who was the man's target, had simply acted due to another person's sign.

『Don't play around too much.』

「I know, Boss.」

After that voice from the bat perched on his shoulder, the man mumbled a reply with a laugh.

「It seems those guys are heading to subjugate Brutuzas.」

『Rank A adventurers are trouble.
As I thought, we'll act while they're on their way to the royal capital.』

A calm voice resounded from the bat.
Not even the slightest hint of emotion could be felt from it.

「However, with five Brutuzas as their opponents, they might die.」

『In that case, splendid.
The mission will be accomplished without any work on our part.
But, that won't happen, will it?』

After that voice from the bat, the man smiled.
The man didn't think THAT would possibly be done in by that degree.

『You're on standby,『Ijika』.
After they've been corralled, you can fight to the death with your desired opponent.
However, Yamaoi's words are absolute.
Don't forget your pride as a Borgiana Clown.』

「I know, Boss.
And don't forget my wish.」

Assassin's Dagger Ijika.
The man who was formerly defeated by Yumika but then escaped from Hyvern's royal capital was there.
With a face flush with madness, he simply stared at a single point.

「That woman, Yumika, is mine.
Mine alone.」

Assassination group『Borgiana Clowns』.
From the shadow of a building, the man who was a member of that group stared at the Adventurers Guild office as if he was savoring a taste with his gaze.

Yumika:「I don't really understand why, but it feels like my popular period has come?」

Kazane:「Nn, if I had to say, it feels more like the shadow of death has become visible, though.」
