Chapter 96 - I Decided to Watch

‘Good. Now stay hidden and keep watching.’
The pursuers were two people who looked like Adventurers.
However, there was something about them that seemed different.
…Actually, they came off as very assassin-like.
I thought about this as I watched them through Shared Senses.
They seemed to be completely unaware of the slimes.
That meant the concealment magic was working well.
‘Our target has stopped. What should we do? Should we just do it?’
‘Stopped…what do you mean?’
‘He appears to be resting. It would be easy enough to kill him now.’
Apparently, the pursuers had the ability to see far away.
That was why they could match my pace from that distance.
And their conversation was awfully grim, to say the least.
Something about being able to kill me at any time—but actually, it was me that could kill them at any time by transferring magic to the slimes.
But I suppose they weren’t aware of that.
As I mused on this, they began to talk again.
‘No, don’t kill him. We have to determine his threat level first.’
‘Is it really that important to consider? We should just kill him and worry about that later. It’s what we’ve always done.’
Yikes. It was dark indeed.
It made me want to use magic and get rid of them right away…but still, it would be better to get a little more information out of them first.
I could defeat them once that was finished.
‘I told you already. The guild is already becoming suspicious. Too many Adventurers have died under mysterious circumstances.’
‘I don’t see the point in worrying about all that. We are of the great and powerful Blue Moon of Salvation!’
—The Blue Moon of Salvation.
And there you have it.
The name ‘Yuji’ had been on their assassination list…so maybe it was me after all.
In any case, it was a good thing that I left Rikardo.
Had I stayed there another day, I might have been killed.
I waited for them to continue.
‘As for the guild, headquarters is managing that. But we are not to kill insignificant people in the meantime.’
‘Don’t you find this all troublesome?’
‘Look, it’s you who is going to be killed if you disobey their orders.’
The other man seemed to give up as he nodded.
And then he said,
‘By the way, wasn’t there a new assassination method that looked less suspicious? Can’t we just use that?’
‘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.
