Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 324

 

Tip-Off



"Ahh, I made a profit. I made a profit."


Walking around the town after sunset with Aritote


"Four silver coins in one day, I'm surprised."


"Olasha, he's a real piece of work!"


"So, what are you going to do?"


Aritote's tone changes.


"Hey, you can't be so careless in a place like this."


"No problem. No one can hear."


"I see..."


"Are you going to pull him in?"


"His ability is good enough."


"What about inside? I think it's good."


"There are too many things we don’t understand."


We can't rule out the possibility that he's from Boldoi.


"Would you like to wait and see?"


"That's right. We should get close to him."


"Don't expose it until you are sure."


"I know…"


That's the end of this story


From here we return to just Lucette and Aritote.


"Olasha will go to the owner tomorrow to receive a request, right?"


"That's what he said."


"Okay, let's join him."


"He might receive a collection request, right?"


"Still, I think he'll do something... ah..."


"What's wrong?"


"I forgot my tool bag at the restaurant!"


"Huh... what are you doing?"


"I’ll be in trouble if it closes, I’ll go back!"




--------




And then, back through the darkened streets, the restaurant came into view.


But unfortunately


"It's already dark..."


"There might still be people in the back."


Aritote was right.


The owner was still in the back.


A few others


"Lucette"


"I know…"


Those few people were the problem.


Immediately we hid and suppressed our breathing


"A monster in human form..."


"It seems like it’s a one-shot attack on a Chimera-class variant."


"Fumu… I think we should take him to custody right away."


"Where is he staying?"


"I know where, let me show you around."


It was the Inquisitor who was talking to the owner.


"Not good..."


"What do you think will happen?"


They'll take him into custody.


They make him tell them everything he knows.


They'll take everything he has.


They'll make up some bullshit story, and then they'll execute him.


"Why would you go that far? Olasha is just a man."


"[If you're a threat to Shelma's future, you get executed immediately], that's what they do."


"...That's right. That's right."


It's a good thing I knew where Olasha was staying when we parted ways today.


I didn't want him to die just yet.


"I'll get ahead of them."


"I'll interfere a bit and then follow you."


"Don't let them find you, okay?"


"Don't worry. I'm just gonna clear a path."


I quickly head to the inn where Olasha is staying.
