‘I haven’t heard the details yet…I think it’s still being experimented with. Besides, that’s a tool to kill thousands of people at once. It’s too valuable to use on one Adventurer.’

 

‘…Oh, well. If we were going to use that, we might as well use it in the royal capital.’

 

…What.

The conversation just got worse and worse.

 

But I was hearing valuable information from the inside.

I had to listen carefully.

 

‘As long as you understand. Now, let’s continue to follow him.’

 

‘Yes-yes. …As long as he doesn’t do anything strange, we can turn around and leave. We should look for a real assassination target, not this boring guy.’

 

‘Yes, we’ll do that. …If he doesn’t do anything today, we’ll leave.’

 

And then the conversation ended.

It seemed that this was all I would hear about the Blue Moon of Salvation.

 

‘Proud Wolf. We’ll leave in about 30 minutes.’

 

It would look suspicious if we started moving just as they stopped talking.

And so I decided to wait for a while first.

Besides, I had to get my slimes back.

 

‘All you slimes who aren’t with the pursuers, come back now!’

 

‘Okay!’

 

Now…I just had to keep quiet and do nothing, and the enemy would leave me alone.

Of course, I could just kill them now, but it was likely that the enemy would then know me as ‘Yuji: An Adventurer who murdered two assassins.’

 

And so I would rather lay low now, and then kill them once I had been taken off the list.

That way, I could avoid their suspicion.

 

…It would also be nice if I could acquire more information about their headquarters… But when it was an organization this big, it was unlikely that these guys on the bottom would know much.

So I decided not to expect anything.

 

…30 minutes later.

When the slimes had all returned, I rode on the Proud Wolf and continued my journey.

 

I had wondered if resting for half an hour might result in the assassins spilling something again…but they did not.

These assassins weren’t that talkative after all.

 

‘Are you all fine?’

 

‘We’re fine!’

 

The slimes were invisible and stuck to their horse.

That way, I could monitor their movements and react when necessary.
