April 28, 7442.

My head tells me to sort things out, but I also spare time to put my thoughts together. I ran at full speed through the city of Keel, near dusk, only to make sure there was no one around to observe me since I left 'Roberick'.

Running selflessly, I choose the shortest distance to get to the binswill store as soon as possible, kicking things out of the way on the side of the road, and focusing only on running fast. Time will be critical. The sun is about to set.

In time!

He succeeded in capturing Binsuil's shop in sight before the sun went down. It goes this way to the river, but there is no problem because there is one of only two bridges on the keel along the way. Good...... Seems like before things happened yet. The store is about 300 meters away even if you put a bridge in it. You better get your breathing ready for the rough.

I stopped running and walked out. At the same time, he began to observe the area around the store as he put the store into view. I can't find anything particularly suspicious at the moment. Without a group like Gorotsuki snooping around the store, there's not a lot of noise going on in the store.

It's the usual sight.

So many unclean kids and old people like homeless residents and vagabonds are walking sparsely down the road. I can't reach the back of the alley, so if I stay there, I won't be able to spot it in this position, but when I say walking, I'm getting close, so even if I suddenly come out of the alley, it will be possible to do something about it.

I was able to find room for just a little bit and seemed to observe the area even better if my head was getting cold. Somehow, but I feel uncomfortable in the store. There are no verses that come to mind when you calmly analyze them, but I do feel different than usual. What? What the hell is wrong with you?

I continued to observe the area around the store while crossing the bridge, but I couldn't wipe the discomfort. There are no suspicious people around the store. I can't even find a guy nearby snooping around the store. The new guy out of the alley passes in front of the store without a thing. There's a table outside the store, and there doesn't seem to be any customers there, but no one walks in front of the store or pays any attention to the store. I mean, there are currently no anomalies in the store... Should be.

I was about to rush out again unexpectedly, but when I did it quickly enough not to feel uncomfortable around me, I approached the store. It's about 50 meters away. Stop once and observe the area around the store again.... Yeah, I'm still somewhat uncomfortable, but I don't feel any particular problem. There is no noise in the store. Looks like the sun has finally set. The sky, which was ever so dark, rapidly darkened.

Was it a short-circuit thought to say that Begle would attack the store? Right, it would leave evidence buried to raid stores that are open all over the city. If so, wouldn't Begle himself participate in the raid? Let your men do it. You mean you can just set up an operation and make the fruit your men have been collecting taste good?

Seriously, it's a short-circuit thought again.

There must be a way to make sure that raids don't leave evidence behind. It's too impossible to just plan on boulders and leave execution to your men. I can't deal with unexpected situations. Or maybe he's appointing the one who turns his head quite a bit in case it's somewhat unexpected, like a field commander, leaving some discretion to him.

I'll try to sort out some of my head while heading to the store early, but it's not turning around well. But there's no noise in the store, and I guess it's still before the decision that there aren't any of them snooping around the store. If you're in the middle of a decision, you'll leak yelling and rumbling noises, and you'll get the attention of people on the road. Attract the attention of those who go on the road too......? Oh, yeah, no low-income people peering into the store with envy? No, you were there. Why aren't you here today?

In the city of Keel, which began to darken, I was stunned. That's right! There's no one there that's supposed to be all the time. I didn't go directly into the store, and I only thought of it as an obstacle, so I was late to realize it. There must be some people in there because the lights seem to be leaking from the store...... In some cases, you might want to pass by and see how it goes.

Slightly slowing down the speed of walking in front of the store somehow puts his gaze on the store and passes in front of the store. As you can imagine, there were people in the store. I can also hear you talking. I see a claw standing in the kitchen between Marie and her parents, then the counter that serves as the entrance to the kitchen. There are a little over 10 other customers in the store, all of whom are in their seats.

There's nothing particularly strange about just seeing Claw at first glance, apart from standing in a weird place, but there was always a worn out standing sign in front of the door that left it open, and it said "Private Today" in dirty letters.

Marie and her parents, starting with Claw, have a drawn look and feel frightened by the shoppers. They're paying attention to the shoppers, so they didn't seem to realize I was coming through.

The shoppers seem to have been talking to each other, but basically they're starting to claw and focus on the family of Bin Suil. The content of the conversation varies, but "Oh, hey, come on, bring it. I can't wait ~".

Only one of the guests looks out and sees my face.

I don't deliberately gaze at the customer and act as if I'm passing by paying attention to the sign. I could only grasp that far by passing in front of the store. Things had already happened.

I know the guy who was sending his gaze outside. The Wizard's Begle. Surely the name should have been Zackwise. They don't have direct contact, so they won't know about me. But that face was firmly engraved into my heart the other day. I didn't appraise him because I couldn't keep an eye on his face or body, but I'm not mistaken.

Walking past the store, I regain my composure and spin my head at high speed. What kind of situation is this? It doesn't seem like what happens right now when you feel like you've seen it, and you'll have a little time to think about it. "The purpose is to grab and sell Marie," said the father of 'Roberick'.

Is it a for-profit kidnapping? No, even if Binsuil was hoarding small amounts of gold, it would be a few million Zs at best. Can selling slaves make that much money? I hear that if I were a serf, I would have about 3-5 gold coins at most and 5-7 in combat slaves. It would certainly be a lot of money, and about 20 people would have no trouble eating it for a few months. If you can take the store's stash of money in conjunction with this, you'll be able to play and live well for about six months.

Thinking about it like this would certainly be a "big job". It is true that Begle's group has done a wide variety of evils, which I have heard so far. He's a cute guy with cute little lizards pulling the one that's going to be dumb all over the city into the alley, and he's even done small-scale caravan raids outside the city, so it would be before breakfast enough to grab a good looking woman and sell her off. But I don't listen to that kind of talk because I can't mislead my status.

You'll be able to force yourself to grab it, but if you go to Keel's shrine with that foot, there shouldn't be a naming ritual if you're not convinced by the person. The priests of the shrine do not perform abusive naming rituals in an attempt to kill themselves. The moment they think so, they take or seal the special skill of naming by God. No naming ritual can be forced to take place without due process.

So how do the Begles turn Marie into gold? You won't be able to force them to sell it somewhere, but they'll have a limited number of places to sell it because they're supposed to take the corresponding risks as well, beyond not being a regular slave trade. I'll leave you proof, too.

But grabbing Marie in that situation would be a daunting undertaking. If there was any noise around the claw, it would be your grandfather. So you're gonna finish everyone but Marie off on that spot, including Claw? Without even being able to raise your voice? Well, not to think about it now, but if you can figure out the means, it should be possible to come up with some countermeasure, and yes, it's not an idea that you can't valve TPO.

Mostly, I came here in a hurry because the aim was to bust the wizard's bagel, not to help Marie or Claw... should be. You can help him if you can, but aside from that... it should be. I think about how I'm going to smash Begle to death, twisting my head in a place I can't see from inside the store.

Do you need to keep Begle alive for a short time to get some information?

None.

Kill without even giving you time to make excuses.

I don't even give you time to beg for your life.

Advantages and disadvantages are often reversed while listening to the other person.

Especially in entertaining stories such as dramas and novels, it's very popular.

Now I'm a killer against Begle. I'm the client. There's no need for interrogation, and if there's a gap at all, follow it and make sure it stops the root of your breath. Anyway, killing that Begle would disrupt some control, and according to it, it could be decisive and lead to rescuing Marie from her predicament.

All right, let's do it. If you want to do it, I want to cat it with a magic blow. And I don't want these guys to remember my face. And then it would be a magic attack at a distance. It's not a good idea to push hard with ice or dirt. There's going to be damage to the store, and even if it's pushed hard, it doesn't mean the magic won't work at all. Magic can be used as long as the gaze passes. You won't be able to do the form of attack magic released from your palms, though.

Anyway, you'd better bury Zachwise Begle in one blow because even if you push harder, the risk remains. Well, if you get seriously injured, you won't even be able to use magic, so that's fine.

Given the damage to the store, you should avoid something too flashy like 'fireball'. If you break the store flashy and make a big fuss, you could make me the criminal who destroyed the store. If it's 'Kill Cloud' of poison gas, it could involve everyone in the store and kill them... oh, Marie might be fine. But I guess Claw and Marie's parents can't.

I can put everyone to sleep in "Sleep Cloud," but I haven't practiced much this way, so it'll take at least a minute for the hypnotic gas to develop. Perhaps it will take more. In the meantime, I hope you ignore me with your hands turned, but that won't be possible. If so, is it sniping with "stone arrow missiles" or "ice javelin missiles"? When you hit a human, it's going to penetrate and even hurt someone other than Zachwise. I don't know how many other Begle's groups besides Zachwise are criminals, it's not like they had a grudge to kill or hurt me. Looks like you should stop from far away. If you bake in "Flames Lower" but get rolled around, you'll catch fire. What do you think?

Oh, should I cramp you with 'Lightning Bolt'? Maybe we can kill him with that. Let's go with this. There's a chance they'll see your face, but there's no choice. Well, no. Good hurry.

I walked in front of Binsyle's again, just passing in front of the store and staggering my gaze with Zackwise Begle. At the same time, turn your left hand slowly. They also rushed to scream something, opened their mouths and tried to point their hands at me, but it was too late.

An instant from my left hand, a high-voltage, high-current electric shock stretched, enveloping Zackwise's body. It was only about three seconds of release time, but I could have killed Zackwise. High voltage is a DC current that probably reaches dozens of amperes anyway. Demons like Horndbears, no. Unless you're a monster, it's better if humans don't die. Yeah, maybe he's still alive for a second. Do you want another shot at that time, just cook him slowly with another magic? I am certain that I will slay him with my sword.

We did it, Mun. As long as I can kill this guy, I don't care about the rest.

Just in case I appraised it, the condition was dead. That's it. The sound of electric shock and the gaze of Claw's eyes at me, and the surprise look of Claw's eyes due to Begle B's fall, make the store's customers, Mori, and Begle look back. sword off his waist, and while, in the meantime, removing the leather string, I

"Well, the wisdom bag is dead."

and said dressed, go on.

"Fly up high!

And in Japanese, I use magic again against the guys who got up and started trying to rush out here. Now I combined water and fire magic, adding and subtracting just the amount. Immediately about 30 cm tall ice was laid on the floor of the store and all legs were ice pickled.

All the guys on their way up, all the guys already trying to get up against me, got fixed. Oh, my God, Claw's gliding with a buttcake on the ice, and Marie's failing to land and can't seem to get up. It's not tight.

He is whispering at me. Ugh. I wanted to talk a little, so I cut the temperature against the ice, but it'll be fine for a little while.

"Hey, Claw, Marie. Let's kill them, okay?

I'll say it casually. The silence came in an instant. Everyone is taken aback by the sudden events.

"Hey, what do you think?

I say it again, pointing my sword at the guy nearby, looking troublesome. Come on, get back to me. Do you have to kill me?

"Huh? Ah, Al. Just give me a minute. Hey, Marie."

Claw, who finally stood up with his hand on the counter from his buttcake tightness, spoke to Marie.

"Uh... kill me... no"

Marie seems to be losing track of the situation. I asked Claw to lend me a hand and said as I stood up. I died of electric shock, and over half of my body that fell to the ground was ice marinated Begle B, kicking the corpse protruding out of Zachwise-Begle's ice, and stuck a taste of Begle on it.

"Well, let's put these guys down for a second. Oh, yeah. You guys, don't say a word until I'm good. If you talk, I'll kill you. And don't move if you don't want to be like this guy. You got it.... Claw, Marie, what happened?

I heard. Go on further,

"Oh, I need to get Marie's father and mother out before I do. Just give me a minute."

So I get on the ice, and when I slightly go into the store, I go to the kitchen and let 'Anti-Magic Field' expand small on my left hand, which doesn't have a sword, and I tell Marie's father and mother to erase the ice at their feet and go outside the store with Claw and Marie. Oh, no, only Claw wasn't even wearing sandals.

"Claw, if you don't get out of the store right now, you're gonna get frostbite on your feet."

That's what I say. I urge Claw and the others to get out of the store. Make sure everyone gets out of here safely. I made sure Claw went outside, and I tried to follow him. But wait a minute.

"Claw, no, you, you were hit in the back and in the stomach. When did he get hit?

Yeah, when I said it, everyone who got their feet ice pickled got scared. But no one opens their mouth. I'm still sitting in the back seat (that is, closest to me), facing the entrance and exit only in position, pointing my sword at Begle A staring at me with only my upper body and neck.

"This the guy? You can bake him in Flames Lower the same way, okay?

I tried to say. Begle A says, shaking his head.

"Oh, I said," I didn't say you could talk. "

I slit my little nose about 1 cm when I stuck my sword in the hole in my nose just a little bit. Blood erupts flashly, but it's far from fatal, and bleeding that looks flashy isn't like life-threatening. Begle A said "Bubba" and held her nose and shut up. There is blood leaking out of the gap between the fingers holding the nose. I slowly walked out of the store while maintaining the ice again. It hasn't gotten any fuss yet, but you feel strange or the wild horses are a little bit but they seem to be gathering.

I'm on Claw.

"What happened?

I heard.

"When I was in the store, these guys were getting together. I didn't care at first, but I felt it the last time Begle came. These guys touched Marie and waited for her to resist. It's a hand these guys do a lot. If Marie doesn't like it and acts of violence, then 'assault' is convicted. All you have to do is tell him to get some unscrupulous money by hand and get him to write a debt statement."

Claw said in Japanese only at "Assault Offences". Maybe I couldn't find just the right word. I don't know the right legal term for the kingdom either. But, hmm. I see. Do you touch Marie like a moron and force her to elicit resistance? Make money if you get hurt well. I threaten to sue you for assault and injury. There's no proof you're a moron, and you're saying that if these guys talk to each other, you'll be fine? But isn't anything crude? Fair enough.

"So, Marie resisted?

I ask Marie.

"Claw stopped me when I tried to resist... it was dangerous. I almost punched him in the pot."

Yeah, did Claw settle down and deal with it, too? But the thing about falling in and icing Begle B being vigilant against the outside was that he kept the extra guests out? It's such a low-end job... oh well, I might even try to touch Marie if it's low-end. You can't leave it to fools because you have to be alert outside all the time.

I'm with Marie.

"Go get the Knights. I think if you give me my name, you'll come. But slowly."

and at the same time give an expression that doesn't make you say yes or no. Marie was trying to be a little untrained, but immediately nodded and headed for the Knights.

"Don't worry about the store. I'll erase all the ice later. Forgive me for getting a little dirty."

Saying that to Marie's parents reassured me, I turned to the bagels and their flavors that were fixed in the store.

Well, what do we hear from? Or...
