51 Seventeen Stories: Camouflage

The way home from the guild.

I broke up with Elicia and the others, and I was being chased to deal with the thieves.

"Guh!?

"What are you!?

Immediately after defeating the two thieves with "Demon Bullets," he tackles the end of the remainder of the party.

At least the enemy I felt existed needed to be handled immediately.

Apparently, the thieves lurked a significant number of personnel into this castle town while we were being tested at the guild.

This number breaks bones. But we have to.

Covering a black coat and hiding my face and body shape, I'll get to handling my enemies as quickly as possible.

"Shit, there's still an escort..."

He kills a man shortly after he exchanges his voice.

I wiped the blood snugly attached to the shaken knife with a man's jacket.

"… is the presence of the escort felt in the boulder"

They haven't figured out I'm an escort yet, but they've noticed Mize has an escort.

Perhaps the thief is in the process of exploring the identity of the escort now. For me, this is the place to start. We need to be more careful than ever.

After defeating the burglar lurking around, he enters the alley, miniaturizes his coat and puts it in his pocket.

Out on the street avoiding the eyes, I headed to the dorm.

"... oops"

Walk down the castle town for a while.

I immediately realized who it was because of the sight in my eyes and the sound in my ears.

Distracted by the crowd, being tracked by someone.

Apparently, some of the enemies suspect I'm not an escort.

- That's a good idea.

I don't mean to bore you out too much...... maybe a few days ago someone remembered that I made many contacts with her to investigate Mize's life cycle.

All the thieves who were lurking around must have been defeated.

Which means it's probably one of the reinforcements that's tracking me. He may have come to the scene suspicious that he had lost contact with his people. You found me along the way and started tracking me?

After this, I'm going to wait near the girls' dorm and watch if Mize goes out.

But I can't act as an escort more than I have enemy eyes. You need to de-alert me somehow.

You can defeat the tracker here and now, but it doesn't make sense that reinforcements seem to be coming again.

The fundamental solution... is to convince the enemy that I am not an escort.

"Oh, general medicine."

Suddenly, I was called out from the rear as I was bothering my head about what to do.

Turning around, there were three heroic men there who met face to face in the guild earlier. Until a little while ago, Zeke was supposed to be with us, but he's not here now.

- Just fine.

I saw them with a provocative grin and the idea flashed.

This is also on the edge of something. It's a corner, and let me use them.

"You crazy son of a bitch. What kind of hand did you use to pass the exam?"

Heroes students have easily bumped into anger.

"Is that also evidence that I did some crazy shit?

"Unplug it. You can't even use D-rank magic. You can't be the B-rank of magic without a squid."

It was a claim that could hardly be called off-the-box.

Certainly might be the case with public common sense. Gran, Mize, and Elisia know my Demon Bullet, so they probably interpreted my magical powers conveniently on their own. But in front of me are students who know nothing about me.

Apologize appropriately and you may find it convenient.

But - I won't.

"That's ugly."

"What?"

"You also said the Alliance Master. Don't hit people because you fail."

To that one word, the man was furious.

"And, hey - hey!!

Magic is dense on a man's palm.

I instantly spotted the magic in the windy mass that appeared.

Ranged Magic, Wind Cannon.

I doubt why I would use the shooting ceremony in this time... but I take it all over my body without dodging it.

"Gu!?

He slightly improved his physical abilities with the melee militant magic Ligament (Reggie).

Still, I can't stand the impending wind cannon, and I'm blown backwards.

"This! Get well! Get in!!

The man pursued before this one regained his position.

I guess it's not calm. Wind shelling was far from its original power and very unstable, but this is also unbearable when it is repeated at close range. Listening to the screams of the passers-by, I realized that my consciousness retreated a little bit.

"Hey! Too much for a boulder! There's gonna be more people here than this!

Stop the man whose surroundings that were beside him unleash a prolonged magic.

The man, who stopped the attack's hand, grinned lowly as he breathed with his shoulders.

"Remember. This is what happens when you're in general medicine."

After looking down at me falling, the three heroes turned back on their heels and disappeared.

With the worried voices of the passers-by on my back, I slowly rise and slap the dirt off my clothes.

Well - it would be something like this.

The pain I felt every time I walked, I turned to the dorm with my face covered.

◆

In the crowd, someone was watching carefully the quarrel between the two boys.

After seeing the end of the fight, the man enters an alley nearby avoiding sight from his surroundings.

Confirming that there were no signs of people around, the man took a piece of 'correspondence paper' out of his nostalgia.

Put magic through the paper, and the man makes contact with his people.

"An example hungry ghost... that's not an escort. I can't do it with strength."

'Well, then pull it up.' Cause I don't have time to turn my hands on the grubby fish. '

"Two other people, you had a candidate for escort. What about them?

'Those two have an alibi. They're both off.'

"Shit. Isn't that another shake?"

A man pounds his tongue.

Things didn't go as expected, and the frustration was exposed.

"Switch. We're going to move flashy tomorrow."

"Oh...... I know"
