Chapter 446 - 446: “Dozeu” of “foolfish”

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, not at all."

As Kotori's words, almost no time has passed.

"After all the king seems strange. Decided to go investigate."

"Eh? Really. Want to accompany but seem to become a hindrance so, only cheering."

"That, when incognito where did the king come from? Not the castle's main gate right?"

"Yes, the castle has several secret passages, but there's an entrance and exit in the basement of the west side assembly hall. Others seem inconvenient like having to pass sewers, but there can easily go to the entrance and exit."

"That's good information. Thank you."

"No, you're welcome."

Kotori's meal also ended, when tried to part was requested.

"A-um. C-can you film and make into character?"

"Eh? Me?"

"Y-yes. I'm also becoming that side so mutual."

Well, if said so can't be helped. Anyway in normal "MANHUNT" can't do H things.

"Yes, then I'll film."

Becoming the subject is heart-pounding.

"Then, let's both do our best. If progress on the king's matter I'll notify."

"Yes, waiting for good news."

No matter how I think the premonition of not the kind of good news is strong though.

◇

"Hoi, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Welcome back, Master."

I returned home and finished toilet then logged in. Possibility of becoming long.

"Go with full members? Can I continue 'Dispatch' for the 'Dispatch' group?"

"Even if something bad happens in the royal capital, possibility of not being able to cover. Let's leave them."

"Understood."

Really want to quickly fuck the virgins, but making "flow" wait is also not good.

After typing the code decided in joint clan chat, "Only God Knows," I "Transport"ed to in front of the church in one go.

When thought "flow" would also "Transport" immediately, says already at the place entered the checkpoint. Already entered the royal capital.

When entered inside the walls "flow" was standing there with Baron.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, almost not waiting. Let's go to the bazaar terrace. There won't stand out."

"Understood."

While moving I timed no people, and materialized Akie. The bazaar terrace seems installed so can eat and drink bought things. So-called food court like form. Smells good stimulating the stomach bugs.

"Even just some drinks let's buy, Baron, raw juice."

"Understood, Master. How about 'Blue'-sama?"

"Ah, fine, ours Akie will buy and come."

"Then, Master please wait. I'll buy and come with Akie-sama."

Polite, just being Baron. While waiting for the ones who went shopping we exchange information.

"There's a secret passage in the west side assembly hall. Use that?"

"First with that line. Seems finally the situation is becoming urgent."

"Meaning?"

"Talk that the king is bedridden. The minister is acting as proxy for administration, but suddenly tightening is increasing."

"Tightening?"

"A popular pastor was soft confined, the commerce association representative went to the castle and doesn't return. Adventurers without badge or bill of exchange newcomers are refused at the gate."

"Common cliche pattern. The minister is the mastermind punchline right."

"Possibility is high though."

Baron and Akie returned. I coffee. Understands. "flow" and Baron are raw juice.

"If NPC attacks, what to do?"

"No way can be killed. If can hold back repel so not kill."

"Not putting hands on NPC was becoming the rule of 'World,' is it fine?"

"Why, ask me."

"Ten Greats right. If Ten Greats permit then OK right?"

Akie has a worried face. Baron is poker face.

"Even becoming king or minister don't want to put hands. First invade and probe the state."

"However, I also have no experience of invading enemy territory. When the time comes not being able to 'Transport' is a bit scary."

"I also have no such experience. Well, certainly the worry is reasonable. Can't walk around the castle with a large number so, feeling of taking a small elite."

"If castle, there are also royal guards or something. King's direct escort also."

Hmm. Thinking of entering the castle suddenly was too simple? This coffee is delicious. When I secretly tried to make Akie go buy beans, already bought. Great, Akie. Later I'll fuck.

"By the way the badge ones who lost contact where and what are they doing?"

"Probably, free inn or something. Not that I confirmed."

"If lots in the castle, and if fighting that then disadvantage. Want to move after confirming at least whether at the inn or not."

"If so, first inn, then invade from assembly hall. How is that?"

"Let's go with that."

Well, if not enter the tiger's den won't get the tiger cub. Captured, yes death penalty. Such punchline probably none.

Finish drinking and move. For now probe the surrounding state, but no feeling of being monitored. Occasionally there are ones with sharp eyes, but not staring this way.

"There."

At the place "flow" pointed there was a splendid inn. Different dimension from Kinshiro's inn. An inn with floating high-class feel. For a while while pretending to chat probe the state from shadow, but no people coming and going.

"Master, the window."

"Nno? That."

Baron found a human shadow at the window.

"Oi, that."

"Probably 'DD.'"

"What are you doing, geez."

The figure vaguely crossing the window is like a doll. Finally the cliche development is gaining reality.

"Hey, this, not becoming the next event or something right?"

"Well, up to there I don't know."

Akie also doesn't know. When I glanced at Baron, sensing that "flow" asked.

"Baron? How?"

"Yes, I think the possibility of being an event is low. More than anything the parties that obtained the 'Hero's Badge' are in that state."

"That, if being manipulated, how is it becoming for the actual users?"

"Can't confirm with Ten Greats?"

"Wait a bit. I'll log out."

I returned Akie to card in the gap when no people and logged out.

When checking the PC lots of notices had arrived.

Simply saying "inoperable." Can log in but can't operate. In the Ten Greats custom version of "World" the senses seem remaining as is, but in normal version seems blackout state. Just not lost is better?

When I notified not wearing the "Hero's Badge," and currently trying to probe the castle with "flow," information and encouragement came a lot again.

Seems control was taken at the point of lodging at the inn. The minister seen at audience was a detestable old man, but not thought to be a monster. In the castle direct knights are escorting, but even at audience about 10. This can be taken as good news.

I conveyed to wait for follow-up, and log in.

"Seems lost control. Seems blackout state. King's escort about 10 knights. Minister whether mastermind is suspicious."

"Then after all let's try invading from the assembly hall."

"Right."

The west side assembly hall of the castle was immediately found. Thought a more modest facility but was a splendid 2-story building. On the 1st floor there's also a small hall, and flyers for plays and concerts were pasted. 2nd floor has many small rooms, seems used as meetings or classrooms. Surprisingly people flow and didn't stand out badly. Pretending to look at flyers, search for the entrance to the basement.

"Seems there's stairs to the underground at the back of the corridor."

"Alright, then let's go."

Akie found and immediately moved there. The basement seems a warehouse, desks and chairs were neatly placed.

"There should be a secret passage somewhere."

When said a human shadow entered the eyes.

"Oops, someone's there."

I convey to "flow" with lowered voice. Looking closely, a man is sitting on a chair. What is this one doing, in such a place?

"Ah, by chance 'Dozeu'?"
