Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~-Chapter 155

Security was Lax

It was just as the sun had started to set.

Slibird had gone on ahead and had now arrived in the town of Maneia.

The Proud Wolf and I would reach it in about 30 minutes.

‘I can see it now!’

‘I see it!’

Slibird and the slimes reported.

At a glance, Maneia seemed like an ordinary town.

It didn’t seem like it had tight security at all. It was likely that it wasn’t ‘overrun’ by the Blue Moon of Salvation in the same way that Ordarion was.

…However, when I looked down from the sky, I immediately saw something suspicious.

There was a large mansion on the outskirts.

And within the property was a large crowd of people who were lined up in rows.

All of them were looking outward with serious faces.

It was as if they were cautious about something.

‘…It’s over there.’

I didn’t sense any strange magic coming from the mansion.

If there had been some device inside that could destroy the entire continent, I would have been able to detect it from far away.

In other words, the Universal Purification Device was not in there… But maybe it could point me in the right direction.

‘Should I throw a slime?’

Slibird asked as I looked down.

Indeed, I could throw a slime down there… But there were people around the mansion who were looking at the sky.

So they would be able to see the slime falling down… I could use concealing magic to hide them, but there would still be a noise when they landed.

They would have a better chance of staying hidden if they infiltrated the place by land.

‘…No. They should go by land. Put the slimes down first.’

‘Okay! But, can I throw them?’

‘Sure. But do it in a place where they won’t be seen.’

‘Okay!’

And so Slibird flew over to a field and threw down the slime.

‘Ahhh!’

The discarded slime fell upsidedown towards the ground.

However, as its body was like liquid, it landed without getting hurt.

…Slibird’s treatment of the slimes seemed a little rough, but I suppose it was fine.

Slibird was used to carrying them around, so he wouldn’t do anything that was actually dangerous.

‘You stay up in the air, Slibird. As for you slimes, go and spy on the mansion.’

‘Okay!’

As the slimes moved towards the mansion, I cast concealment magic on them.

Now they wouldn’t be seen by anyone.

I didn’t know why that mansion was being protected… But I was going to try and find out.

As I thought this, I gave an order to the Proud Wolf.

‘Proud Wolf. When we arrive, stop just outside of the town.’

‘Understood!’

We still didn’t know if those guards were a part of the Blue Moon of Salvation.

But if they were, it would look very suspicious for a former assassination candidate to walk into the town at this time.

So I would watch from the outside and enter when the need arose.

‘We’re here!’

‘There are so many people!’

The slimes were now at the mansion.

…While there were a lot of people there, there were no magical barriers at all.

Once I knew this, I ordered the slimes.

‘Alright, surround the mansion.’

‘Okay!’

And so the slimes moved to make a circle around the mansion.

I wanted to see which parts had the weakest security before going inside.

Also…we would be able to see immediately it anyone was going in or out of the building.

If I saw anything suspicious, I could have Slibird or Proud Wolf follow them.

As I considered this…two men started to talk by the door of the mansion.

One of them was a knight with very strong-looking armor.

The other looked like a nobleman.

‘…Is the security net sound?”

The nobleman asked.

Apparently, this man had given the order.

‘Yes. We have over 200 people guarding this place day and night.’

‘Our goal is finally being realized. Keep that in mind.’

‘Of course! We won’t even let a single slime slip through our defenses!’

The knight proudly declared.

Not a single slime, huh?

Well, I wanted to accept that challenge.

Of course, I would have sent them in regardless.

‘…Can you guys get in?’

‘Yes!’

The slimes answered as they started to move in.

As for the guards surrounding it with their glimmering eyes…they didn’t notice the slimes at all.

In spite of the knight saying that ‘not a single slime would slip through’, my slimes were passing through very quickly.

Concealment magic made the eyes of human guards useless.

‘I got in!’

“They haven’t seen us!’

‘It was so easy!’

And so not a single slime was found as they entered the mansion.

Now… It was time to see what the Blue Moon of Salvation was up to.
