73 Lesson 73

I could see the apparent vigilance with which Atar approached the merchant and his group of escorts. The tingly air is stretched out on the hit.

"I'm just trying to say hi for once, I'm not going any closer to you than I need to be"

Speak up as he raises his hand in a position where he can see that Atal has nothing at a certain distance.

"Well, if you're not hostile, I don't mind if you come a little more."

With the permission of the man in the escort, Atal slowly approaches with his hands in sight. And as we approach the distance we can talk, we stop and say hello again where we can keep the distance we can talk.

"Sorry to make a scene. I'm Atal, I'm going camping over there tonight. I'm going to make some traps to avoid demons and bandits, so I thought I'd be in trouble to let you know if you ever came to say hello. Just in case."

Atal didn't miss one of the escorts reacting with Pickle to Atal's words, which he spoke in case.

"Oh no, are you an adventurer too?

That's when a man who stored his mustache coming out of the shadow of a carriage called out to Atal. The man has a good looking smile on his face.

"That means you're their employer's merchant. I'm going camping away with you, Atal. Why did you come to say hello?"

Atar sends the same greeting to the merchant as he did earlier. I might have listened, but it was just in case.

"Thank you for taking the time to do that. We are also planning to stay here tonight. Let's not interfere with each other."

That was the merchant's word when he decided that the extra involvement was the source of the rubbing.

"That's good, we'll stay away from this one, and it'll help if you do the same."

We nod at each other as we understand, and Atal turns his heels back and returns to Caro, saying that he will not speak any more.

I dared not look back, but I felt the same gaze on my back the whole time I started. It was the moment when the discomfort I felt changed to certainty.

"... this is going to be something"

The muttering mouth was grinning.

"Caro, we're back. I'm done greeting those guys."

"Welcome back, sir....... were you ok?

Caro asks questions to Atal, who came back in the same way, looking worried.

"Oh, maybe you'll come tonight. Something is suspicious. An employer-like man, he's not just a merchant. It wasn't the merchant's, it was the kind of gaze that my eyes would explore. It was like that around him."

When I hear that, Caro narrows his eyes.

"Do you still want to come? Then get ready and wait."

Caro felt Atal was anticipating this at the stage of preparing the trap. I also have my weapons ready.

"Uh, you're okay because there's a trap. Let's just get some rest now. Because you won't be able to beat us where they came from... just keep the trap in mind"

In terms of strength, Atal, and Caro had decided that one or two were more wondrous than they were, but I had a bad feeling about it. Atal will set up some difficult to understand traps besides the first one I prepared.

"And then, through magic on this... it's done"

Satisfactory nodded Atal was ready, while Caro was finished preparing his meal.

"Dear Ataru, dinner is ready, let's have it."

"Oh, thank God"

Though a suspicious figure is nearby, for one thing, the two of them take dinner in a gentle colloquial manner.

When the night was completely changed and the surrounding area was quiet, the claws and Caro fell asleep. There were some shadows approaching the two camps.

"... hey, you said there was a trap set, but are you okay?

"Of course, that's why you have me."

Discuss it with the blubber It was the adventurers of the merchant's escort. They were moving exactly as Atal had expected.

One of the men was leading the way because he was good at reconnaissance, trap search, etc.

"Sounds like you're setting a bunch of traps... but if it hits me"

Carefully unlock the trap prepared by Atal. The gesture is very familiar, and it conveys that we do these things well.

"I can handle the physical trap, but this is a little harsh..."

At first, I was good at untying him. He stops his hand with his face up. He found it. It was a magical trap. The man was a businessman searching and disarming traps, but magically, it was difficult to disarm them.

"I'll take charge of that... I see, it's certainly a magical trap, but the structure isn't complicated. I think I can handle this..."

A wizard woman who came out next door to push her away deciphers the Atal trap and then releases it.

"Nice, they have a tent or something... maybe they have a magic bag or something"

That's what the men expected, as what the Atals had prepared was a large tent of size.

"But you two, right? I wonder if there's anything so dizzy about having a carriage or a magic bag?

But among the men, a man of relaxed character says in a prolonged tone that seems boring. Because of this, it seemed like a better prey would be good if I were to aim.

"Don't say that now. It's enough to have a carriage at a party just for the two of us, there 'll be plenty of money."

That was the biggest reason the men tried to attack the Atals. I thought it was enough to say it was lukewarm from them, such as a young man with money and a little girl.

"... well, I could have disarmed them all. So, you gonna do it? You're not gonna do it?

While the men were discussing it, the wizard woman was alone in lifting the trap. She asks if it's the final confirmation as she flaunted herself by the conversation between the men.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, as I decided earlier... we'll do it."

When the leader said so, everyone nodded at each other and began preparing their weapons at the same time.

"We'll jump out at the usual time...... one, two, three!!

And upon that signal, the adventurers jumped into the tents of the Ataru at once.

"What!?

But it was also because it was soaked. Nothing. Only a tent was there. Everyone's face stains with amazement.

"Duh, what do you mean!? Those guys' camp's supposed to be here, right? Or are you out somewhere? No, but the carriage is there..."

"... hey, what's this all about?

The upset adventurers suddenly jumped out of the tent in a hurry, surprised by the voices called from behind. There was an appearance of Atal and Caro standing there with a faceless face.

"Oh, you guys! Where the hell!!

"No, no, you should answer my question before that.... What is this about, what is it?

In response to the man's question, Atal repeats the same question in a more emphatic tone as earlier.

"Damn, you guys do it!

But he didn't answer the question, and the adventurers were in a combat position with their tongues crossed.
