Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~-Chapter 126 - I Set Up a Surveillance Network

I Set Up a Surveillance Network

On the same night that I left the Fire Dragon gemstone with Gaiger, and had him promise to make me some monster armor.

I was back in my room and thinking about the rain.

The rain that had come suddenly and antagonized the Fire Dragon.

Was it really something caused by a magic rainmaking device from the guild?

‘Did you guys think the rain was strange?’

I hadn’t been there when it started.

However, the Proud Wolf and slimes had witnessed it with their own eyes.

And they were wild animals…well, wild monsters. So they should have sharper instincts.

And so I asked them…

‘Yes! It was strange!’

‘I didn’t think that it was going to rain like that!’

‘Yes, it was very unnatural!’

So, even the monsters agreed.

In that case…the guild did seem the most likely.

Gaiger had said that the magic devices that were used belonged to the guild.

…I suppose I should do some scouting.

‘All right. I want to spy on the guild a little. Can you sneak your way in?’

‘Sneak?’

‘In the guild?’

The slimes did not seem too enthusiastic.

They had no problems charging into the base of a secret organization but were reluctant when it came to the guild…

It was probably because it was too much trouble.

After all, unlike the forest, there were no leaves that they could snack on.

In that case, there was one thing I could offer…

‘…When you come back, you can eat a lot of meat. The first 10 to go.’

‘Okay!’

Upon hearing this, the slimes all rushed to be the first out of the window.

And with that, they headed for the guild at a great speed.

Well, slimes couldn’t really move fast…but it sure seemed like they were moving faster than usual.

Still…if I didn’t do something, they would probably start fighting over who arrived there first.

Slimes were generally nice to each other…but they would sometimes start fighting when food was involved.

‘Go slowly and keep yourselves hidden so no one sees you. And it’s not like one slime will stay in the same place. You’ll take turns watching.’

‘Okay!’

‘All right, then I’ll be first!’

‘No! I will!’

…And just like that, they started arguing.

But…I knew how to handle such situations.

‘Whoever starts fighting won’t get any lunch.’

‘I’m not fighting!’

‘I’m not fighting!’

‘I’m not fighting!’

‘I’m not fighting!’

It was very effective.

…A few minutes later.

The slimes peacefully chose 10 slimes to sneak into the guild first.

Now I would be able to listen to most of the conversations inside.

And with that, I just had to feed the slimes and wait for the results.

◇

A few days later.

“I think we should stop soon.”

I muttered while listening to the conversations in the guild.

I still hadn’t heard any talk about rainmaking magical devices.

They just processed quests in the incredibly serious way that they always did.

There was some talk about maintaining the safety of the region and protecting roads from monsters.

It really did not seem like the kind of organization that would antagonize a Fire Dragon so that it would attack the town.

So it seemed like spying on them was pointless.

Perhaps I had been wrong to suspect them.

‘This will be the last day for surveillance. Thank you.’

‘What!’

‘It’s ending!?’

The slimes let out cries of agony.

This had become their favorite task ever, due to the reward of delicious meat.

…I listened to their screams as I headed for Gaiger’s Monster Armor Shop.

This was the day that the monster armor that used the Fire Dragon gemstones would be complete.

“Hey! Yuji!”

When I arrived at the store, Gaiger called out to me.

His expression was full of satisfaction.
