Approaching the gates of the town, the vigilantes serving as gatekeepers showed themselves.
He came back in less than an hour to give us a surprised look.
When you left the gate earlier, you looked the same on the number of crusaders.
Well, I wonder if thereâs a 55 crusaders every few decades. So I donât know what else to do.
âCaptain, whatâs wrong? And, you know, the guys behind youâŚâ
Marse, the oldest and compiler of vigilantes, asks with a bewildered look at the group walking a little further than we do.
In his gaze were the traitor vigilantes with their hands tied behind their backs and their hips tied with rope.
The vigilantes other than Marse seem to have noticed.
Looks like Iâm being shocked by what my people look like.
Iâm comparing whatâs going on with the people connected to me.
âThey betrayed us and detained us because they turned out to be part of the most problematic organization in this town. Cage them and keep an eye on them.â
Raise your voice a little and explain the situation to everyone.
âWhatâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ. Ok. Because of the large number of people, even if you used both the cage in the gatekeeper building and the cage in the filling, it would be three people at a time, would you mind?
Marse gives my words a look that I donât understand for a moment what they said.
But I guess thatâs where the experience of working for the vigilante says things.
I seem to have changed my mind immediately.
âNo, leave me five at a time, not three, in the cage.â
Run your gaze through my words to those who are constantly caught.
Looks like theyâre checking the numbers.
And you counted the numbers, leaning your neck.
âBesides the guys here, thereâs still the rest of the traitors in the stronghold we built yesterdayâ
Marse only stops moving for a moment in my words, giving me a complex look mixed with sadness and anger.\n
But it also instantly returned to its usual face.
âOkay. Itâs a cage, but is it enough for five people at a time?
Enough?
I have no idea how many people are pushing to the base.
Plus, thereâs a criminal group.
âNo, two places isnât enough. Keep the conversation open so you can borrow all the cages of the Adventurer Alliance and the Commercial Alliance. I hope thatâs enoughâŚâ
âIs that so? Okay.â
The moment I said all the cages of both guilds, I got a bitter laugh at Marse, who opened his eyes slightly.
Seeing the look on my face like that, he also gave me a grin that included sadness.
Iâve been a vigilante for years, but this time itâs a tough job.
He bows his head gently to me and then turns to the vigilantes who are still staring at his people.
âHey! How long have you been mocking me? Get to work! Throw the traitor into the gatekeeperâs cage. Whatever you say, donât lend me your ear. Theyâre not one of us anymore, theyâre criminals who betrayed us. Tighten your fucking head!
âHa, yes.â
âPut five people in one cage at a time. The rest are crammed cages. I donât have enough men on the lookout. Make an emergency rally on the nonstop guys.â
âYes!â
I canât help but feel like Iâm letting another vigilante live.
Just because youâre an ex-companion doesnât mean youâll be perplexed forever.
Especially if thereâs a gap in your heart, you might listen and let them get away with sympathy.
I thought about choosing a team from the Crusaders to watch out for out for that worry, but if Marse is around, youâll be fine.
The rest of the crew seem to have changed their minds about his temper.
Weâre moving criminals in a move that doesnât show stray.
âAgrop, it would be okay to leave the watch to Marse and the others. When the captured ones break out, put down only a few who can be held down, and then let me head to base.â \nâOkay.â
Agrop has chosen five watchmen to give instructions.
âCaptain, can we get a little more people back to base?
Marl Leak, who handed over the caught adventurers to the vigilante, asks.
Tilt your neck to it.
Those who entered the stronghold must be sleeping with sleeping pills.
As a result, not so many people are needed.
âIs there something? I think we still have personnelâŚâ
âIf we mobilize all the vigilantes, we can secure the personnel, though. Whatâs wrong, sir?
Looks like Agropâs back.
It was helpful because I know Agrop better than I do about personnel.
âIs that it? Iâm planning on bluffing out people from the organization lurking around the base, havenât you heard?
âHuh?â
Ooh, this is the second time today that Agrop and I have a voice.
I donât care about that.
âHow are you going to do that? Itâs hard, isnât it?â
âHmm? I plan to judge everyone around the base by magic itemsâŚâ
I found my face catching on.
If youâre sure to catch the lurker, thatâs the best way to do it.
But how many people are you going to check around the base?
âNo way, that operation was done by that kid?
âYeah, come up with something amazing.â
\nIf you find out youâre looking into it on a magic item, the information leak line disappears.
Now that we donât know how weâre looking into it, can we make preparations to hunt down the organization?
If the operation does go well, we can create an environment where the guys in the organization suspect the leak of information the most.
Thatâs not all, I might even think about the possibility of a traitor inside.
Until now, I would have used those who were making me dive in to find out.
But I canât use it this time because Iâve already been caught.
If I were to examine this motion in this situation, I would be rather cautious.
Besides, the uncertainty about how far the information is leaking would slow down the movement.
Well, can we temporarily stop the movement of the organization with our work?
While they canât move, weâll make sure the paperwork we find is credible and weâll consolidate the evidence.
In order to do this, we need to capture the group, even if itâs a slightly unscrupulous operation.
⌠My 9 year old thought of this?
Not Agrop, but Iâd like to talk to you slowly when itâs all cleared up.
âIf thatâs what youâre saying, Iâll gather all the people who can move. Or Iâll let you mobilize. From which neighborhood do you control toward the base?
⌠Although suppression would be different.
But Agrop seems to have the same idea as me.
No heart. My voice is up.
It was on the side of being cornered all the time that all of a sudden there was a possibility that we could be in the opposite position.
Is it stranger not to be excited?
âAgrop, donât get excited and fail.â
âNaturally. Thatâs where that kid ate me. You canât possibly fail.â
