Chapter 145

『Really, Master-dono is harsh on his familiar… . 』

「On demons too~ . 」

There was almost no one on the streets at night, and other than a black cat who plodded along the streets and the person following behind it, there was no one else .

When night fell, Uruk was far more peaceful than cities of other countries .

In other cities, the street lights would still be on even at this time, and there would be several people walking around .

In comparison, in Uruk, there was not even a single shop that was open, and there were no street lights either .

However, because of that, the stars could be seen clearly .

『Still, I didn’t think that Latisneil-sama come along with me . 』

The Latisneil-sama that I knew, was a princess who was free and unbridled, obeying no one and doing no one any favors .

She had too much freedom and the demon king-sama was at his wit’s end though .

Day after day, she played pranks on the demon king-sama, and it always inconvenience somebody .

Even that Mahiro, was no match for Latisneil-sama’s pranks .

「I’m always searching for something entertaining~ . I’m just following someone who I think is interesting, and I thought that coming here with you would be fun as well . Your master is particularly interesting . Most likely, he also predicted that I would come along with you, didn’t he?」

As expected, I don’t really understand this person .

I think that it’s probably because this person and I have never had anything in common .

I don’t understand this person’s way of life or her thought process .

Latisneil-sama narrowed her purple eyes in amusement and looked around .

「Well then, what onii-san requested, is the corroboration of the information, isn’t it?」

I put away my urge to sigh that I had been restraining and nodded .

Latisneil-sama’s chattering was somehow exhausting .

『Yes . we will expose the crimes of Gram who is the guildmaster of Uruk . More specifically, find something called the ‘strengthening drug’ that Gram or someone close to him might have created, and determine where they went . …that’s what he said . 』

Incidentally, it would be great if we knew that it had been delivered to Retice Castle .

…really, you’re too harsh on your familiar, Master-dono .

This kind of thing, if Latisneil-sama was not here, I wouldn’t be able to do it .

As Latisneil-sama was said, he probably predicted that she would come with me .

I’m doing something separately from Master-dono, so thanks to the special skill『Magic Concealment』, Latisneil-sama, who appeared to be a human at a glance, approached the target, and making use of that opportunity, I infiltrated the room and helped myself to the information . That was the method we had been using to investigate various things .

Even if I was caught, with Latisneil-sama’s『Charm』skill, it wouldn’t be a problem .

It seems that person herself didn’t want to use『Charm』much as the usage made it seem like a robbery, but I would like you to do your best for my Master-dono .

This was how we did it in both Mari and Uruk when we were asked for the corroboration of information .

Perhaps it would be the same for Uruk, but the time when people retired for the night was too early in this country .

There was almost no one that was still awake .

Because Latisneil-sama wasted time loitering everywhere, we were extremely behind schedule, even though we were supposed to have arrived at Uruk before the sun had set .

Like this, wouldn’t we be unable to fulfill Master-dono’s request .

「Now then, we’re going, Yoru-kun . 」

When I lifted my head at Latisneil-sama’s words, the person herself had a suspicious look on her face as she looked at Uruk’s Adventurer Guild building .

Was she planning on doing something .

「Are the preparations all set?」

『…um, just what are you… . 』

I thought that Latisneil-sama would wander around to the back of the Adventurer Guild building, but she suddenly grabbed onto the scruff of my neck and lifted me up .

「Well then, take care!!」

Latisneil-sama said this and then threw me as hard as she could .

『Wh, what are you doinggggg!?』

I landed on the roof as I was screaming .

Even though it wouldn’t be good if we were discovered by other people, I had unconsciously raised my voice, but it was not my fault .

The one who was wrong was the person who threw me without even discussing it with me .

When I looked down, thinking of complaining, Latisneil-sama was looking in another direction and smiling .

『What are you… . 』

I turned towards the direction she was looking in, wondering what she was smiling at, and then I gasped in surprise .

「You!! What are you doing in a place like this at this kind of time!!!」

Just as I was thinking that there were many sources of light approaching, Latisneil-sama was instantly surrounded by soldiers .

Contrary to the grim-faced soldiers, Latisneil-sama smiling frivolously .

「Oh, I’m a traveler and this is the first time I’ve been to this city, but before I could book an inn, everyone was already gone, and so I got lost! I have decided to sleep outdoors today, so soldier-san, can you escort me to the outskirts of town? Or rather, where is this place?」

I was astonished by the lies there were smoothly flowing from her kips .

Because she claimed to be a champion of justice, I had never seen her tell a lie until now .

I had even thought that she hated people who lied, and hated lies themselves .

Such a Latisneil-sama was able to solve the problem without fighting with the soldiers, but for her to lie .

This was, a person who would never accept failure .

「You, this is the rear of the Adventurer Guild, you know? Isn’t this the center of the city, which is far from the outskirts of the city . Besides, were you not told that it’s dangerous to walk around this city without a guide?」

「No way!? Really? I, perhaps I have no sense of direction~?」

Perhaps this had happened many times before, as the soldiers took Latisneil-sama away in a practiced manner .

When the soldiers were looking elsewhere, Latisneil-sama winked at me .

She’s probably telling me to do it well .

I nodded in response, and slipped inside through the unlocked skylight .
