âAll right. How about that room?â
They said as they went to one of the back rooms.
As long as I was the subject of their conversation, I could not ignore them.
And so I asked the slimes to continue monitoring them.
âOoomph⊠We got in!â
The slimes slid in from a crack under the door.
The room itself seemed to have had several measures put in place to make it sound-proof.
And there were two doors that were layered.
âŠI didnât know guilds had such rooms.
And I had never seen a double door like this before.
I wondered about it while I listened to what they said.
What I heardâŠwas something most unexpected.
âThat young Adventurer with the black hair and eyes⊠Isnât that Yuji?â
âAye. It is definitely Yuji. The one who is a candidate for assassination.â
âŠCandidate for assassination?
Since when had the guild decided that I was to be considered for assassination.
Yes, the Blue Moon of Salvation had put me on their list onceâŠbut that had nothing to do with the guild.
ââŠTo be precise, he is a âformerâ candidate. He was taken off the list.â
âDo you remember what the reason was?â
âIf Iâm not wrongâŠit was because he wasnât a big enough threat. People are rarely taken off for any other reason.â
âHe wasnât a big enough threat!? Are you kidding me!?â
Things were getting stranger.
What they were talking aboutâŠwas just too similar to that of the Blue Moon of Salvation.
I had been followed and monitored on my way to Boguinea as well.
When I noticed, I pretended to be weak so they would consider me as someone who couldnât possibly be a threat to them.
And so I was taken off their list.
ButâŠwhy were these guild people talking about it?
Could it be that people from the Blue Moon of Salvation had infiltrated the guild�
I continued to listen, even as I thought of different possibilities.
âHeadquarters decided that he wasnât a threat. âŠWould you argue otherwise?â
âWith this specific case, headquarters must be blind. That guy is dangerous.â
The one who muttered thisâŠwas the man who had been watching me.
Apparently, he thought I was dangerous.
ââŠAre you sure about that?â
âYou know more than anyone how reliable my eyes are.â
So the guy was very confident about his ability to see through people.
The other man agreed with him.
âSo, how is he dangerous?â
ââŠUsually, when you face a high-ranking monster. Donât you instinctively think, âI canât winâ?â
âI do. When I met an Earth Dragon once, I felt as if I was already dead.â
âYes, itâs just like that⊠I felt it when I met Yuji.â
Why am I being treated like a monster?
Iâm just an ordinary AdventurerâŠ
âAnd itâs not just that. The slime on his shoulder is also crazy.â
âAye. I donât know how to describe it⊠But it has an overwhelming presence. I feel as if I am staring at a great Fire Dragon.â
Well, the slime on my shoulder was wearing armor made from a Fire Dragon, so there is that.
Perhaps it was just the armor that had an overwhelming presence.
Maybe that guy has no idea what heâs talking about.
âSo you are saying that his slime is the same level as an A-Rank monster?â
âWell, I have seen my share of A-Rank monsters⊠And I think this one is far worse. I would not be able to beat it in a fair fight.â
ââŠIf you say that, Aeris, then it must be true⊠So, what should we do?â
âDo⊠Well, I suppose we should take them by surprise? We can make them look like criminals after the fact. Then no one will know.â
Things got disturbing fast.
âŠIâm glad I didnât accept any quests.
They would have probably killed me on the way and made it look like an accident.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!đ„łđđđ
