Chapter 71: 71 67 The bigger the organization, the more mud it accumulates

Amelia Miyagawa, 16 years old　

Occupation High school student

Magical aptitude 8 (general class)

Post Brave Man

Sit, I didn't really expect you to just let me help you with your work.

She was made to change into her sister's uniform, which was somehow mixed in with the cleaning supplies that were handed to her, and now she is covering her mouth with a cloth and waving a smack to remove the dust.

Next.

"Hi!

Because I'm dressed like this, my classmates don't seem to think it's me, and I say good job as I walk past them.

My emotions are mixed: I'm shocked that my classmates didn't notice me, but I'm also half-convinced that it's more effective because they didn't notice me either.

You follow Ann's instructions to clean the hallway's furniture and windows.

It's not wrong for a student to clean, but it's not wrong for a brave man to do so, but I'll take it seriously for later on.

When I clean like this, I don't usually pay attention to it when I'm sleeping in, but now I realize that there are people who keep the buildings and rooms clean.

I feel like Anne is teaching you how to clean like a teacher just now to make your job easier, but I don't care about .......

I'm not complaining because I don't feel uncomfortable with the result of watching you.

Ah.

"...... cleaning is over here. Let's move.

"Hi.

But it's over here.

Finally, time to be a hero!

Exit the quarters late with equipment in hand to chase the fakes away from the other classmates and go outside.

From here, you'll have to chase like a brave man.

Then do this candlestick next, but do it quickly because there are so many of them.

"Oh.

I wanted to, but it wasn't the chase I was expecting.

I was imagining more of a stealthy chase, hiding in the shadows to remain undetected and stealthy.

But what I'm doing is the same as before.

As expected, there are a lot of candlesticks, so Anne is helping me this time: ......

"Anne, are you okay?

"What is?

"It's getting away from you!

It's no surprise that there is a difference in the speed at which he is cleaning and walking normally.

Unlike him, who walks quickly and aggressively, I'm going slowly like a turtle.

You'll be able to complain about it because you're next to each other, but Ann lets out a sigh with an air of, "What the hell is this guy talking about?

It would be suspicious if you followed him in such a sparsely populated area. What's the disguise for?

"U

Come to think of it, yes.

I'd be watching someone from the corner of the corridor and wondering what's going on.

When I was at school I would wonder if she liked that person, but if I did that here, the knight would stop me.

It's a good thing. You have to be able to focus on sweeping the room, anticipate the direction you're going, and pick up the sound of your footsteps with your ears so you won't lose them.

"That's a hard thing to say, isn't it?

"Do it.

That's not something to ask of a layperson, is it?

I've never been a detective like this.

I'm a brave man now, but I used to be a good student of dancing, you know?

I'm not going to be able to tell you the exact location of your position if you can do it, but I thought Anne was really a spy.

I tried to follow the example, but there was no way I could do it.

"Umm, there are a lot of footsteps.

Each sound is different, try to find a footstep that is a little heavier and has a shorter scraping sensation on the ground.

Since I came here, I've been able to do a lot more things in terms of exercise, but I've never used it like this before.

If you concentrate on your ears, you can certainly pick up all kinds of footsteps, but they get mixed up and you can't tell which one is which.

What I'm saying is that you can do it.

You neglect to wipe the candlesticks to concentrate a little.

What am I going to do?

Just as the fear of being labeled useless is about to emerge, you realize that you might be labeled useless.

Use your skills to get by.

"Oh, maybe it's the footsteps.

"...... never thought I'd be able to

"You're not forcing me to do something I can't do!

"...... is a gem, would you like to work here?　Salary on request'

No!

I was able to notice not the type of sound, but the rhythm.

It was difficult to distinguish the sounds among the various sounds, but I could find one in each tempo, thinking that I could distinguish the rhythm of the feet with the feeling I was used to in dance.

I didn't think they were telling you that you couldn't do it.

I'm glad I could do it, but what was Anne going to do if I couldn't?

I'm curious, but for now, I'll focus on tracking.

And, of course, I'm going to turn down the invitation!

There's a Japanese proverb that says, "A small fortune on the shelf".

I've been following your footsteps with my ears as you stop and start walking around, but I didn't think I had this talent.

The fake guy doesn't seem to be heading anywhere straight, so he can be heading this way while polishing candlesticks.

You can do it more accurately than I can at ......, why don't you team up with me?　With you, the head of the underworld is not a dream.

"No

What does Anne say to the flower maiden .

I'm supposed to be a hero.

But I wouldn't normally notice such a talent.

This is your day job? It's a talent that we don't normally use ......, and it's also a talent endorsed by Anne at .......

And more and more we are moving towards the hazards of the cathedral.

Down the road.

"What do you have?

It's a place that's rumored to have something going on. I visited there once, but I'm sure there was nothing there other than the wine being kept there.

"Suspicious Yone?

As a result, if your testimony is correct, it is suspicious.

Get Ann to tell me what's in that direction.

Certainly if a building is approached by a suspicious person, one can suspect something is up.

And sure enough, the footsteps we'd been chasing entered the building and were nowhere to be heard.

"He's not coming out.

"...... Given the structure of this building, it's underground?

"Ann, don't you want to come in?

It's more accurate to say no.

Why?

Wait a while, but no fakes.

It is common knowledge in our world that high school students do not drink.

Some people drink, but usually not.

That's enough to make me suspicious at this point.

I think we should see it through to the end if we've come this far, but Ann says we can't go any further.

''Perhaps this is mage territory from here on out. It's like dancing on a trap; you'll find it easily if you go in carelessly. Unless there's a trick to look inside, or a way to disguise the magic, I don't have one.

You have?

Do you have one, in that case ......?　Is there?

Maybe you can do that, if you know what's inside?

I thought I needed something more, but there's something I can do about that.

Scurrying around to make sure no one is around, you gently put your ear to the wall.

Yeah, I do, but ...... you don't think that's how you'd hear it?

"Un, when you make a sound like this

I put my magic on my hand and knock on the wall.

Then a sound wave is emitted that only I can see, and I can tell where the sound is being interrupted and what kind of structure the building is.

I can't tell where the hollow space is and where the walls are, or even what is inside, but I can see the shapes in my mind, and that gives me a general idea of the structure.

My skill, sound.

All I can do is make sounds and pick up the sounds that come back, like a bat, but depending on my magic, I can detect a very wide area.

Since it is not an offensive ability, I usually use it to listen to the opponent's movements and anticipate them.

However, this skill is not very brave, and I think it's an inconvenient skill that makes my head hurt because I have to concentrate to get details like this, and it picks up all kinds of sounds when I use it.

Also, my classmates who know about it called it hell-eared or something, and I didn't get a good impression of it.

Yeah, I got the gist of it.

"...... By the way, how many shelves are there in total that you see on the right when you enter the entrance?

"Three steps, right?　It's all seven.

...... Genius, you are the ace of our guild. I would love to scout you.

It's the same as it was a few minutes ago," he said, "but now it's all over the place. ...... Hmmm, there's a large space in the basement.

What is the structure?　For more information

Let's see, there is a staircase in the back right corner at ......

Even Anne, who had been skeptical, is surprised and complimented when she finds out that my answer is accurate.

If I can be useful like this, I'll have a little second thought.

I knock repeatedly, sending out sound waves to probe, and I begin to learn more and more about the underground structure.

Then I pick up the footsteps I was following earlier and listen intently as I follow them.

Behind me, Ann is taking notes on what I'm perceiving.

I'm following the footsteps as they go by, so I don't have everything, but it's still worth writing down.

Hmm?　Have you stopped?

"It looks like a destination, you know what's there?

"Wait a minute.

The fake stopped as he entered the room, apparently arriving at his destination.

I close my eyes and concentrate more on the sound.

With a series of thumps, you can see the fake standing in front of something and touching it.

Is it a little bigger than a person, or is it a stone slab?

But it's a little bit raised, and what it is, the shape is complicated and a little bit confusing.

There are several of them lined up in a row, and the sound waves don't penetrate well due to their magic power.

It looks like there are a lot of stone slabs lined up, like you're touching them.

"A slab of stone?　It could be a grimoire or something, but that doesn't identify it, any other characteristics?

"Hmmm... The surface is a little puffy?　Also, a lot of magic flowed through Lulio.

...... I guess we still have to get in to find out, we have to start over. It's too dangerous to go any further.

"Okay,

It might not be good to be seen with your ear against the wall.

Gently remove your ear from the wall and turn around with your eyes open.

Petya

And then something warm and raw touched my cheek.

"...... caught me off guard, sir.

Anne?

Rats are everywhere, but I haven't seen a dumb rat like this in a long time.

The Church, the Order, the Chief

"Ann!"?

Don't move, because if you do, he'll die.

For a moment I didn't understand what I was seeing.

Ann, who had been scouting me nonchalantly a moment ago, had an iron sword growing out of her belly that I'd seen recently.

No, I was stabbed.

I was stabbed by a man in white armor that wasn't there before.

When I understood, I tried to stand to run to him, but I couldn't move under a weight I'd never felt before.

The figure seen in Ann's shadow resembles the knights you see in the cathedral, but it looks more luxurious and sturdy than that.

I can't see her face because she's holding Anne up while she's stabbed.

But its presence is so strong that you almost forget that I'm a hero.

I thought I was going to be stuck here, feeling helpless to do anything.

Goff, run!

"But!

"Hmm, how can you make a voice like that?

"Aggh!　I'm good, I'm good.

If you run, he's not going to die.

"There is no need, you" as they say!

"What?

"Run away!

Eh.

...... suicide, or you were right as a covert operative, but you should have disposed of your sources before you died.

What happened?

I was stabbed and Anne told me to run away, but I couldn't leave her, and I couldn't escape, so I was stabbed even deeper and screamed in pain, and that's why I was stabbed.

You're so clumsy, you can't even bring back information as a spy. You cannot carry on the will of your superiors, wasting your life and being stunned by it. The woman must be very sorry. She gave herself up to free you and this is what she gets. My death was wasted.

Anne dead?

He dropped Anne to the ground and pulled the sword from her body as if he was pulling it from its sheath.

Ann, dumped on the ground, didn't move an inch, her hidden dagger stuck in her chest.

The first time I saw the man's face, he looked at me with disdain, as if he were looking at a piece of filth.

I couldn't care less about those eyes.

I couldn't help it.

Anne, who could have been my friend in this world, is dead.

Dead and gone.

The guards are flaccid to allow these amateurs to break in. This is where we need to retrain. But first, I'll get you.

I don't know what this man is talking about.

I don't want to understand what this man has done.

But I do now.

This man killed Anne.

And when I realized, something inside me flipped a switch.

"Ah.

"Hmm?

"！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

This!　You're not a brave man!

Something is gushing out of my body.

I'm screaming something, but this overflowing something is drowning it all out.

I can't hear it, I can't hear it, I can't hear it.

It's hot, hot, hot, hot.

But I know.

You have to throw this out.

So hot, hot, hot, hot.

So this is a holy crest run amok.

My heart is beating to this rhythm.

"But,

I am

"Immature.

Side Amelia END

Another side

The girl who was punched by the man and slammed into the wall crumbled and fell to the ground.

Knight Commander!　What is this?

Holy crest run amok. Don't worry, we've got it under control.

The first to respond to the sudden and powerful magic, the mages in the basement of the building came to me.

Perhaps because they sensed the unusual magic, they came out in a lumbering manner, holding their wands in their hands.

Hold this person in the basement, it seems this girl was seduced by a secret agent and fell into paganism.

"What!

The man takes one look at the group and immediately gives them instructions to clean up the mess.

I don't know how it happened, but he's a brave man who came in contact with a secret agent.

He thought it would give him some information.

Prepare the Ark of the Covenant, just in case. If anything goes wrong, seal it.

But even if you could easily subdue it, you are a brave man.

Deciding that he should take out an insurance policy to avoid unnecessary confusion, the man gives additional instructions.

Ha!　Copy that!　So, Knight Commander, what do we do with this woman?

Do you guys have a hobby of playing with dead bodies?

"No!　Never!

Then you can bury him in a public cemetery after you find your identity.

"Ha!

I'm going to report this to the bishop, you guys clean up the mess. Hmmm, bishop. You call me and tell me that pagans are coming and then you do this?

The man who was asked about the treatment of Anne, a secret agent who had been abandoned in the process, stared at the mage man, wondering what he should ask the obvious question, and then left the place with instructions.

The remaining mages, along with the knights who arrived late, split up to repair the wall, take Amelia into custody, and divide into personnel to deal with Anne.

The messy work was done, the only thing left to do was to clean up, and the job was completed smoothly and without any problems.

The day ends with the students, who are brave enough to feel the powerful magic, explaining that it was an accident of a magic experiment and leaving some people with questions.

Then, late at night, the cloudy sky covered the public cemetery in darkness.

No one comes near the cemetery at this time of night, where the dead spend their time in silence.

There's a strange sound.

If they had dug a little deeper, we would have been buried alive.

There was a sound of dust and dirt being dug up, and like something out of a horror movie, an arm sprouted from the ground and Anne, dressed in simple clothing, crawled out of the ground to widen the gap.

'Tsk, did I cut you too deep?

The figure is not a zombie, nor is it a ghost that turned into a ghost because it had a desire to live in this world.

There was just a seriously injured woman there.

Holding the wound and enduring the pain, Ann fills in the hole with her moving legs and destroys the evidence.

She leaves the cemetery on her feet.

It would have looked like the undead were wandering the streets.

Ann, who belongs to the Hidden Guild, code-named the undead, is a professional infiltrator.

A professional infiltrator, she is skilled at faking her death by maintaining her wounds with temporary death, a deadly wound.

No one believes that the person she thought dead is still alive, and after surviving her skillful escape, she walks to bring back information.

Among the information is the last time she saw Amelia trying to save her.
