Chapter 151.2

Chapter 151.2 \n<h1>Chapter 151 End of the Vacation ⑥</h1>\n\n　Tino, who was properly wearing her yukata to hide her skin, looked at me in awe and muttered.

“Human…… Enemy ―― This is, this time’s 《Infinite Trial》, right…… Master~.” (Tino)

“No, you are wrong. Because this time, we are on a vacation. Didn’t I tell you that there would be no trials.” (Cry)

“!?” (Tino)

　I put my hand over my mouth and smiled in a badass manner. I looked at Arnold and his companions, who were stunned, and Sytry, who had a faint smile, in turn, and explained to them.

“Don’t worry, for now, we don’t need to do anything. If they came and attacked this inn, I think all we need to do is to just repel them.” (Cry)

“………… What do you mean?” (Arnold)

　It is simple. Because reinforcements are coming.

　Today, I am ―― Brilliant. No, you don’t have to be brilliant to know what is happening if you think a little about it.　Maybe Arnold and his companions weren’t accustomed to this kind of pinch. That is why they couldn’t think about it.　My abilities don’t suit my certification Level, but only the number of times I had been involved in a battlefield won’t shame my Level.

“You don’t get it?” (Cry)\n

“Tsk…… This bastard……” (Arnold)

　Arnold’s lips quivered and he tightly clenched his fist.

　It was written that there were around one hundred people in the Barrel Bandit Group. The number that the mask said was around three hundred. So, if both of those numbers are correct, why is there a difference in numbers?

　Exactly. If my assumption is correct then the remaining two hundred people are ―― Reinforcement.　Moreover, they are probably from Gladys Knight Order.

　If they are the Gladys Knight Order who are renowned for their valor and long war history, then it won’t be surprising for them to own mythical flying beasts, moreover, the Barrel Bandit Group was originally rampaging in their territory. So, it won’t be strange for them to chase after the fleeing Barrel Bandit Group.

　I am sure the mask had confused the two groups.　My assumption is a lot more realistic than thinking that there are three hundred bandits, moreover, we might be outside of Gladys territory, but we are still right next to their border.

　So that means that all we could do was to wait for Gladys’ knight to free the city.

　I doubt there is anything we can do against a group of one hundred bandits, moreover, they have also taken hostages, so we can’t move carelessly. It is best to leave it to Gladys Knight Order as they have double their number. Rather, isn’t everyone relying on me way too much? Up until now, have I ever been useful to you once?

　Fortunately, we should be able to at least protect this Ryokan. We have Sytry, Arnold, and also Tino who has kept her ground against ten of them by herself.

“Well, calm down. If my calculations are right, reinforcements are on their way. For the hostages… Well, it will work out one way or another. There is no point in rushing. What we need to do right now, is to recover our strength in case of an emergency.” (Cry)

　This battle is… my victory.\n§　§

 

 

　What… Is happening?

　Hidden in the shadow of one of the large buildings, Ruda gasped. Behind her, the members of 《Crimson Flame (Fire Gale)》 are looking around with a mix of anxiety and tension, except for Gilbert.

　I couldn’t understand the situation. Their movement was so fast that I couldn’t understand what was going on.

　The only entrance to the city (Although the walls surrounding the city were high enough for us to jump over) had been completely sealed off by an unknown group.

　There were already no other people in the city except for Ruda and the others. Even though we didn’t see any tourists, we did see some people living in the city until yesterday.　They were all captured by the people dressed as tourists and had been gathered in one place. This was no ordinary trick.

　It was only by luck that Ruda and the others hadn’t been captured by them.

　As expected, even Gilbert wasn’t going to make a fuss in a situation like this one and opened his eyes and muttered in astonishment.

\n　It was the man who was supposed to be working with Cry Andrich. I believed………… He was called Gray.

　As Gray looked at him as if his soul had been drained, the man who was called Oyaji slowly gritted his teeth together.

　The voice that came out of his mouth was, however, surprisingly calm.

“Search again. Use as many people as you want, we’ve three hundred people with us. I don’t plan to stay here for a long time. We’ve surrounded the city yet he still hasn’t come out, it’s obvious that he isn’t as strong as his reputation says. If we can kill him, we’ll have more men joining us. Don’t forget, we’re bandits…… Don’t fight one-on-one. Use your numbers, rob them and lay waste on them. We are ―― Not warriors, we do it unfairly. Go now ――” (Barrel Bandit Group Boss) 

　The man lifted his battle-axe with one hand, looked up at the sky, and shouted.

“―― Glory to the Barrels.”

“Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!” (Barrel Bandit Group)

　An explosion of cheers shook the place. Seeing the shadows scattering, Ruda pulled her head back in a panic.

　This is bad. We’ve got to tell this to Cry right now
