74 Lesson 74

Even if the opponent is in a combat position, Atal and Caro both confront the four adventurers without putting up weapons.

"Hmm, don't you have that merchant..."

Atal shrugged boringly because there was no man he spoke to when he went to greet them.

"Dear Atal, what do you want to do?

"Hey, just give me all the items and money!

A frustrated man broke in when Caro, who tilted his neck properly, was listening to Atal respond.

"Maybe the one who's manipulating these guys or something, so we'll catch them alive"

But neither Atal nor Caro react as if they didn't sound like a man at all, and they are calmly discussing their response.

"Gu, these guys...... hey, let's do it!

When a man realizes he's been ignored, he distorts his face with remorse and then signals his people to start the fight.

"You're the short-tempered ones.... but okay?

Still neither Atal nor Caro took a combat stance, nor fled the scene, just watching the men's trends.

"!? Stop!

He seemed to notice something as haphazardly as he did, and it was the man who broke the trap that Atal stretched out, speaking out like he was in a hurry.

The adventurers stopped moving perfectly, as they did with a sudden brake on his words.

"Oh, have you noticed?"

Atar, who saw the words and actions, had a more praiseworthy look than a surprise.

"Damn, looks like they set a new trap while we were in the tent. Finn, make sure there's no magic type trap!

A wizard called Finn the woman instantly stretches his consciousness to see if there is a trap.

"It's okay, it doesn't look like there's any trap over there!

"Each one of us is in charge of the role, and that's a good party. You don't have to do this. If you do this, you'll get paid enough."

Atal recognises that when he sees the movements of the men who are able to work together properly, but it only stirred up the wrath of the men.

"Shut up! Let's go, you guys!

The leader man who came forward the most is using the Great Sword as a weapon, and with it he rushes towards the Ataru. In the meantime Finn is chanting magic, and the man who took the trap off is moving to follow the leader's man with a knife in his hands.

"Multiple attacks at the same time and not concentrating on one method of warfare"

If you concentrate on one person, you will take the other attack from another direction. There are four of them, so it was their method of warfare to attack them in their respective areas of expertise.

And the last of them, a four-man party, hasn't shown any movement yet.

"It's funny to leave your wife behind, too."

Atal, who can afford a mouthful when they say they're coming, valued their party highly.

"That's why it's such a waste to do this...... Caro!

"Ha!"

In response to Atal's voice, Caro ran out of momentum with his forward leg strength. But she goes unarmed.

"Holy shit!

Caro, whose leader tries to be slashed by the caro who appears in front of him, but who flickers away from it, slips through the sides of the men to the one who remains behind at first sight.

"Over here!?

That was Finn's word. You didn't think you'd be targeted the most, you're stunned and upset with your eyes open.

Caro, who runs so unemotional that she even feels cold, starts by sealing her movements, which are wizards.

"I'm sorry!

Because his opponent was a woman, Caro lowers his eyebrows to apologize for being sorry, but without hesitation puts a fist in his abdomen to stun him. Upon confirmation of the woman who had fallen, she was immediately moving on to the next action.

"Now this way!

Caro goes toward the man who remained without showing any movement by himself. The man was preparing for an attack when the Atals showed a gap, but Caro, who had guessed it, was making it his second target.

But the man was somewhat ready for his mind with Finn getting hit first, and the idea that maybe he was next was flat but floating.

"Hey, oh!

Hence, he had a respite just to unleash an attack on the caro coming his way. It was a one-handed sword that the man took out in his hand.

"It's too late!

Quickly Caro was entering the man's pocket faster than the one-handed sword that set his aim was swung down, shooting through his jaw with the palm bottom.

"Guha!"

The man whose brain was shaken by such a shock that he did not think he had been released from Caro's little hand fell off Kakan's knees and lost consciousness.

"Hey, what the hell!

The leader, who was following Caro's movements with his eyes on the events not long after, was stunned and solidified to see his companions getting hit one after the other.

"Dude, isn't it a bad idea to look at it in battle?

Atal, with a hazy, bad grin, put his hands on the shoulder of the leader's man and spoke in a casual tone.

"Huh!? When!!"

The distance to Atal would have been more remote if the man's memory had not been mistaken. But suddenly he appeared behind it. Surprised by it. The leader's man distances himself from the atar like he was in a hurry, but even more surprised by what he saw in his eyes.

"When did you get close?... or when did you defeat this guy? The former is when you look at Caro's movements. And it was the moment you lost your sight of me that brought this guy down."

Both were done outside the man's consciousness, and in a moment they were effective enough to cut the opponent's fighting temper. The man who understood what kind of opponent we had turned against our enemies felt the blood draw away.

"So... what do we do? You still gonna do this?

One remaining man shook his neck to the side with no power in the question of Atal, who tilted his neck so tightly. The hand holding the weapon is also completely powerless.

"Surrender, surrender... We've been through all sorts of fights in collaboration with the four of us. Because when you're broken up and defeated, you have no more hands, no more legs."

The man takes his hand off the weapon and raises his hand that it is surrender. A great sword rolled on the ground with the metal noise.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I'll let you keep the weapon. And let me tie you up just in case."

And the fallen brought also, and Atar and Caro restrained the four, and gathered them together in one place.

"So why are you doing this? Even if the individual power isn't so great, the four of you can do it with a lot of difficulty."

To Atal's pointing out that he acknowledged their collaboration, the leader's man opens his eyes for a moment and then distorts his expression with his mouth tied tightly to remorse.

"Is there something, a reason...?

From that look Atal expected that they would have their own circumstances. Caro stiffens his expression in silence on Atal's side wondering what the situation is like when he has so much strength but they have to comply.

"But if you don't answer, I'll have to leave you here."

But even if there were circumstances, it didn't change that I tried to work evil, and I couldn't let it go without any help.

"... you had one too. The merchant who was with us. That's his order."

"That's him. You did feel something different than a normal merchant."

The man nods slightly as he leans down to the words of Atal, who told him to remember.

"Oh, you're right. He's not just a merchant... he is."

"Please make it there."

Looking back at the voice that sounded like an interruption, the merchant stood. His expression, which bears the shadow of the moon that illuminates the darkness of night, is clearly not the atmosphere the merchant has.

"It's not nice to betray me and tell you a secret. And it doesn't feel good to be told from the mouth of someone else, even if it is, for example."

In a pale tone, the words were filled with quiet anger, and the merchant stared narrowly at the adventurer of the escort.
