“No one showed up at regular contact’s time! There was no reaction even if we used the emergency beacon! Oh, my god, I thought something happened to Karna-anego.”
Even though it was time to enjoy with the slaves that I caught, one of my servants came over with troublesome reports. Being head of the Bandits is easier than adventurers’, but it is troublesome to have to give instructions one after another. If you let them act on their own, their feet will be tied.
“Karna’s troops were a slave-hunting execution force …… Wasn’t the support team together, what happened to them?”
” The Magic support team must have been with her… … I have not heard from them either.”
” What the f*ck?”
Did the adventurer guild notice the presence of the black wind? No, for now, it should not be a tail out. Except for Karna, all the other party leaders are coming back safely. Just to be sure, we avoided places with high-ranking adventurers and acted primarily around Perth. Even Karna’s main unit was a high-level party of more than 10 people if the support troops are added. I don’t think there was any adventurer out there who could defeat them… … Did they get greedy and went out to other areas?
“No way, let’s search the area covered by Karna”
The Party leaders that are currently in this hide are three fellow party members, Class A adventurers Priscia, Hope, and Ad. And 4 people who were originally black wind leaders. If something happened to Karna, it’s not like to leave it to leaders of similar level. Is Hope the right choice?\n
“Call Hope! It’s urgent!”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“Ha ~, why I have to go and clean others *ss?”
A small man with childish aura leaves the room in upset steps. He was given the order to search for Karna. However, there is no ambition in his face.
“Because Kristoff is a fellow with small guts … I do not mind letting an effective leader to his own devices. I am busy with my hobby.”
“Hope-aniki, did you torture the kidnaped woman again? They’re special goods, you will be scolded.”
The subordinate man asks anxiously, but Hope laughs out loud.
“I wonder if you do not understand. There is no music in this world as pleasant as the scream of a girl. It’s worth not being able to buy with money~ ”
“Ha-a …… Aniki now put aside your hobby the search party is waiting at the entrance of the hideout. I gathered about 10 combatants over level 30”
“Oh ~, Kristoff is bold! Isn’t it the highest strength of this hide?”\n“It is that the head is serious, aniki is going out and the situation is pretty murky.”
This subordinate is also a fierce man of level 34. He is expected to be the next party leader and is being appointed as Hope’s right arm.
Hope and his man went through the aisle while laughing. If they cross that corner, they will arrive at the entrance of the hide. There is the Black Wind’s elite gathered, and they should be waiting for the sortie now.
“I hope there are cute girls”
“Who is the opponent who might have killed sister Karna? It is not — Oh?”
The subordinate saw the entrance and stopped suddenly. Hope who is immersed in a pink delusion does not notice it and collides with the back of the subordinate who is a little ahead.
“Hey! What’s wrong, why you stop so suddenly?”
“Oh, aniki, there is no one in the entrance … … It’s very, very funny, but I’m sure I called them over….”
“You must be very firm. If something happens to my gray brain cells, it’s serious!”
At the moment Hope passed the subordinate and arrived at the entrance which had the size that 10 adults could enter together, Hope with a magical sense skill noticed something unusual. There was weak magic on the border between the entrance and the passage. Something magical was set on this entrance.
\n“So, what will you do? If you’re going to fight, I’ll be happy to be your opponent. If you give me all the information you know―――”
“Head, intruder! Maybe an S-class adventurer and his features are outstanding!”
“… …. Hey, even if he is rotten, he is still a class A.”
Hope tried to pass the information at the risk of his own life. Naturally, the Black Knight moves on this. Hope’s thin sword, a light swordsman, and the big sword of the Black Knight cross each other. Hope’s sword didn’t reach the Black Knight, the Black Knight’s sword’s speed is unthinkable from the huge big sword, and Hope’s sword is cut off. What he heard at the end was not the scream of a woman, but his own deathblow.
“Sorry, this entrance has a Silent wind wall spell cast on it. Your voice will not reach anyone.”
The ruthless words of the man also did not reach his ears anymore.
