I'm glad to see you caught it safely.

Immediately after he stunned and secured Nano - a slender racial (human) young man wearing a hat appeared as if he had sprung out of the darkness.

He is about 170 cm tall, slender, and wears very ordinary clothes.

If I had to say more, I would say that he has thin, thread-like eyes and a faintly smiling face.

I try to act surprised as naturally as possible, and sit back and hold up my cane.

You ...... have been there since when?"

'Hmmm...a little over level 1000 (、、、、、、、). Hmmm, it is a little insufficient level to destroy the "White Knights" of the Queen Elf Kingdom. Then, there are several beings like you who destroyed the "White Knights" with their numbers?　Was it a well orchestrated set-up? Or are you and your team not related to the "Giant Tower"? ...... If so, I think I should have persisted a little longer and held on to them after the rest of the group showed up. But it's better than letting them escape because we were too greedy."

What are you really saying?"

Because all of his opponent's lines were so far off the mark, he was seriously asking, although he was also acting, "Is this guy stupid?" It seems to me, and it takes a little bit of strength out of my stance.

To my consternation, the racial (human) young man narrows his eyes and mouth even more and tells me, "I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I'm not sure if he's acting, uninformed, or being manipulated unconsciously. ......Well, let's move to a different location and ask the body and spirit for more details, shall we? Oh, I don't mean that in a weird way. I am normal. I just mean it in the sense of torture, etc."

I need a minute!"

He puts out one hand to stop them.

I continue to act bewildered and speak respectfully to the smelly man who appears before me.

Who are you really?　I was just betrayed and almost killed by Nano, who is passed out there. I just want to get revenge for that. I have no right to be caught and tortured. If there is something you want to ask me, I will answer honestly. So let me have a dialogue with you first.

We have more than enough reasons to ...... antagonize you.

......?

I hold up my cane again.

I was hit by a sharp killing intent, which is not possible for a human being.

Level 1000 or 2000 is not enough.

The leader of the Queen Elf Kingdom's "White Knights" is easily above that level.

Such an existence, such a race (human), would never exist in the first place!

A young human man looks like a pain in the ass as he fiddles with his hat with one hand.

The "C" slave, it seems that there is a big possibility that he is a coma, but he seems to be an unconscious type. I can't rule out the possibility that his attitude is an act. This type of person is the most troublesome when left unattended. As far as I'm concerned, they have no information, and the other party just sucks up the information one way or the other. Even though we are short of hands, we can get the information from ....... This is why "C" is so troublesome.

Shhh?"

New information.

I think it is close to the feeling of "Master" in terms of treatment, but it is probably not "Master" itself.

The young man looked at my question mark as if he were looking at a "fool who is not smart enough to realize that he is being charged with a wrongdoing.

He had no intention of answering my question.

I'll ask you about the details when I catch you," he said. What was the name of that Dwarf species?　We don't have time for revenge, so if you want to kill me right now, I'll wait a little bit, okay?"

"...... kill me quickly?　Are you trying to take revenge away from me?"

Take away?　No, it is not. I have more important things to do than your trivial revenge.

"----"

Human youth - I feel anger welling up in me at HISOMI's words, but I weigh myself down.

For me, it is important to get revenge on Nano and the other former members of the "Gathering of Tribes," but it is also important to know the truth about "why I was almost killed" with "Master".

I won't lose myself in anger here, and I won't do anything that will make it impossible to extract information from him.

However, I've bought enough time, and it's time for me to reveal which one of us is the "clown" and be allowed to fight back.

I suppress my raging spirit by sheer force of will, stop acting, and respond.

I stop acting and respond, "...... are you going to refuse to answer my questions and refuse to have a dialogue with me no matter what?　If you don't spit out what you know, we'll run out of steam.

'Exhaustion of power?　No, this is a one-sided capture. I think it would be better to give up honestly, quickly kill that dwarf species, achieve your goal and leave no regrets, and then be captured by the little guy."

Hisomi walks away and closes the distance with an aloof demeanor.

Hisomi walks away and closes the distance between us with an aloof demeanor, her whole body overflowing with the composure of a strong man.

I stop her with just a few words.

It's certainly going to be a one-sided capture - 'Level 5000 Fresh Zombie Hisomi-dono'.

!　You!　How did you know not only my name, but also my level and occupation?

Mei!

This time I didn't answer Hissomi's question, but rather my most trusted maid, "SUR, May the Seeker's Maid, Level 9999. He shouts out the name of the "The

A moment later, a "magic string" runs around me and Hisomi.

The "Magic String" weaves at high speed, creating a 100-meter dome-shaped cocoon with us in the center.

In doing so, the unconscious Nano is also wrapped in a cocoon and carried outside.

Hisomi is bewildered when she is told her name, level, and even her occupation.

She literally seals the gap and wraps us in a dome-shaped cocoon of "Magic String.

While maintaining the cocoon of "Magic String," May appears.

Light-sama, the siege is complete as planned. Only Mr. Light, myself, and the target are inside.

Excellent work," he said. I knew I was right to leave it to May.

Thank you for your kind words.

May's body shakes from joy at my unreserved compliment.

She immediately made a serious face and returned the compliment.

Hisomi's narrow eyes narrow even more as she observes the exchange between me and May.

He stopped walking and made a regretful expression, raising his utmost caution.

I thought I was setting a trap for the "C" slaves and their dependents, but I was actually set up for the opposite ....... From the very beginning, your objective was not the dwarf species, but the little guy, wasn't it?"

I'll be honest, it's just a precautionary measure." Your contact with NANO was too suspicious, but I couldn't find any evidence of it, so I had May lurk behind the scenes to capture NANO if he showed himself, while I was trying to capture him as he was cutting down streets.

To be honest, I had no idea of Hisomi's true identity until just before the mission was about to go ahead.

Even after direct visual appraisal, he was in the category of an ordinary race (human).

The "Level 5000 Fresh Zombie HISOMI" that I mentioned earlier also appeared with a relaxed demeanor and without any status disguise, so Mei appraised it and sent it to me as a "Level 5000 Fresh Zombie HISOMI". I was able to know thanks to the use of the "SR, telepathy" card.

Hissomi held his hat with one hand and hid his face in frustration.

I was very careful and cautious in my own way, and yet I didn't even notice the ...... enemy's maid, and she showed up. I'm not the one who's stupid. I wonder if I could have done it if I had a little more manpower. ......

You can do your own reflection later. Once again, what is 'shhh'?　Who the hell are you?"

............"

In response to my question, HISOMI shifted her hat and looked at me with narrow eyes as if testing me.
