Then, thank you for your hard work today!

　Mize bowed with a cheerful voice.
　After completing the request to explore the labyrinth, we were able to return to the guild safely.
　On the way, we had a hard time hiding the corpse of the bandit from Mize and the others, but somehow they didn't seem to notice.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can contact us at .......

　Gran mutters.
　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to get the most out of your time.

"Mize, did you have fun?

"Yes, it was a lot of fun!

　"Yes, it was a lot of fun!" replied the neighboring mise-en-scene.

When I asked the Muse next to me, she replied in a good mood, "I was afraid of what would happen when I was sandwiched between a chimera and a hobgoblin, but exploring the labyrinth is not so bad. Let's go again.

　Elysia seemed to agree with Mize, and quickly made plans for the next time.

　After that, we were on our way home.
　Oz was staying at an inn in the capital, so we parted ways as soon as we left the guild. In fact, I did not go to the inn, but followed Mize.

　We parted ways with the women a little further up the castle town.
　Gran and I went back to the boys' dormitory and then to our respective rooms.

　We quickly left the dormitory before we could relax in our rooms.
　In the alleyway, I put on my black cloak and passed my magic through the Correspondence.

"Oz.

"Yes, I'm aware (・・・・・・).

　It's a good thing I'm a soldier who's been in the field and can sense the presence of the enemy.
　In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, it's possible that you'll be able to find it on the internet. The way they move their bodies, the way they look at you, and so on are all different from those of ordinary people.

Tell me your location.

Let's see. On the main street in front of the girls' dormitory.

　He gets the location of the enemy from Oz and immediately starts to deal with it.
　Since Oz's methods of attack are conspicuous, I'd like to be in charge of most of the action in the city. Leaving it to Oz is a last resort.

　He sneaks up behind the enemy and strangles him into unconsciousness.
　The enemy collapses in a daze.

That's great. When it comes to fighting in the city, there's no one better than 28.

"It's not so much the terrain as the conditions. It's hard to fight in Oz without involving someone else.

　Accepting Oz's praise half-heartedly, I kept a wary eye on my surroundings.

There's only one enemy?

　In the past, there had been at least two of them hiding in the city.
　Perhaps it was a matter of timing. It was convenient, but I felt like I'd been let down.

"Hey, hey. How many of the 28 have you killed so far?

"I stopped counting around the ten mark. Probably around thirty.

I think they're on the verge of destruction.

　I couldn't confirm or deny it because I didn't have any proof, but secretly I was expecting it.
　According to Chris's information, the enemy is a group of criminals looking for ransom. This information itself was suspicious, but if it were true, the ransom for Mize's kidnapping would be distributed within the enemy's organization. The more members there are, the less the ransom will be distributed per person, and the risk/reward will not be worth it. Thirty is a reasonable number.

"Aren't you going to kill him?

　Oz says, pointing to the fallen enemy at his feet.

"...... I've been thinking about something.

　I haven't killed the man who just strangled me yet.
　The man who just strangled me hasn't been killed yet.

"Oz. How much information did the Bureau give you about this case?

"Well, I've heard about the mise-en-scène we're guarding. As for the enemy, I've heard they're just a bunch of criminals looking for ransom.

　--I knew it.
　I didn't want my premonition to come true, but it did. 　

"Open your man's mouth.

　Oz tilted his head at my words, but obeyed.
　I roll him over onto his back and open his mouth with my fingers.
　A tiny pouch was hidden behind his back teeth.

Is this ...... suicide poison?　I'm not sure if this is an interrogation measure or not.　...... Hmm, that's pretty thorough. It's going to be hard to get rid of.

"Yeah. But if it's a countermeasure, it means they're holding something they don't want us to hear.

　I've known for a long time that the attacker has a suicide potion behind his back teeth.
　But there was a reason why I hadn't mentioned it until now.

It's fortuitous that Oz came at this time. Thanks to you, I now have more options for action.

"...... What are you doing?

　"What are you going to do?" Oz asked, to which I replied proudly.

"Interrogation.
