ãWell, we will confirm your smelling ability!ã(Faril-chan)
Faril-chan suggested that Mile, who claimed itâs her who tracking the smell like a beastkin, not Rena.
Faril-chan had thought that Mile was a dwarf so when she heard Mile is beastkin,
she felt a little pleased and wanted to confirm it with her own eyes.
Unlike herself with kemonomimi or Renaâs canine teeth and carnivorous personality,
Mile apparently didnât have a feature from the beastkinâs blood.
And when Faril-chan thought about that, she went down to the kitchen and came back in a moment.
She held 2 cups filled with water in both hands.
ãIn these 2 cups, there is only 1 cup that has a drop of ale dripping in,
I donât know how good the smelling ability of a human being with mixed blood,
but if you can trace me with the smell, you should be able to easily distinguish this!ã(Faril)
ãPlease leave it to me!ã(Mile)
With this, I can prove my ability to Faril-chan.
Mile thought so, and she was enthusiastic.
Originally, Mile is more sensitive with olfactory than human, even though she doesnât reach the level of animal and beastkin. (On Average value)
So, she used strengthening magic to greatly increase her smelling ability.
Well, just like when she tracked Faril-chanâs smell before.
No, even more, she strengthened as much as to match dog and wolf.
Failure is absolutely not allowed.
ãOkay, maximum smelling ability! Bring it on!!ã(Mile)
Mile breathed in heavily with her nose as she brought her face close to one cup.
Su~u~u~u... (breath in SFX) (Mile)
Mile concentrate all of her nerves on the sense of smell and all of her consciousness to a.n.a.lysis.
The odor of water and cup, Faril-chanâs lavish scent, and the smell of cooking and food swirling in the kitchen, the smell of the couple is also mixed.
And a variety of smells in the dining room as well...
ãokay, the next one!ã(Mile)
Again, Mile inhaled greatly in her nose.
Su~u~u~u... (breath in SFX) (Mile)
Patari (SFX)
And Mile lost consciousness, falling to the floor.
Looking at that, Rena taps on her a.s.s with her right-hand palm âPata Pataâ
And Rena mutters in a small voice.
ã...my bad ...ã(Rena)
Yes, animals and beastkins can withstand bad smells.
This is because their structures of sensory organs and brain are such.
So, Mile made that stinky weapon in the forest, but she never encountered it.
In that forest, though the beastkins vomited and fainted, no one went crazy or dead.
But human beings are different.
Originally, their sense of smell isnât so sensitive, so there isnât such a safety mechanism.
Mile, who is a human being, raised the sense of smell to way beyond animal and beastkin, and she breathed in her nose with complete defenseless... Renaâs thing.
ãAre you okay...ã(Pauline)
Pauline said that with a worried face, as she use her feet to check on Mile who fell on the floor.
Then, Maevis, who was silent watching, opened her mouth.
ãWell, for the time being...ã(Maevis)
ããFor the time being?ãã(Rena + Pauline)
ãLetâs have a meal because it will lose its taste when it cools downã(Maevis)
Before they knew it, cooking was arranged on the table.
They never tried to turn their eyes towards Mile lying on the floor, with her hands blocked her face...
*************************
ãWhy didnât you wake me up?ã(Mile)
When Mile woke up, itâs already time for breakfast of the next morning, she completely missed ãLetâs play with Faril-chan!ãtime. Mile was angry.
ãWe canât help it because you were asleep.
Just go getting breakfast alreadyã(Rena)
Actually, Mile fell asleep in the afternoon yesterday, Rena trio woke up at night and became unable to sleep,
Faril-chan also couldnât sleep as well because she was sleeping all the time since she was being kidnapped. And they were playing from midnight to the morning.
Mile now knew about it, shouting in anger, but she couldnât do anything anymore.
Heard Renaâs words, she could only grit her teeth.
***And 3 days later***
As usual, the ãRed oathã showed their face to the Hunter Guild and was called to the guild masterâs room
Perhaps he might tell the girls the results of the investigation of the kidnappers they were waiting for.
ãFirst of all, this is the prize money, please accept itã(GM)
The Guild Master brought out two leather bags from the drawer of the desk and put it on the desk.
Normally they would use a cloth bag. However, in the case of the G.o.ddessâ servant, they felt leather bags would give a luxurious feeling.
And this time itâs not mere request reward but ãreward moneyã, so itâs proper to use leather bags...
Felicia, the receptionist, also wanted to use the leather bag but because itâs expensive so they normal didnât allow her to.
ãThis is the prize money from the guild, and this is the prize money from the country.
Some of the criminals seemed unable to be sold as the criminal slave, so the compensation was actually from the country.
Well, those who become criminal slaves are also cheap because it was just a short-term slave, not a lifetime slave.
They arenât the bandit, they havenât killed anyone yet, so it seems that they will only become criminal slaves for a fixed number of years.
Some of them even escaped the chargeã(GM)
Yes, some criminals, for example like magicians, canât be left alone without further investigation.
We donât know whether they have some connection from aristocrats or influential people.
However, that has nothing to do with the âRed Oathâ anymore
They arenât in a position where they can hand out justice, and they have no intention of doing so.
Felicia, who was standing obliquely behind the guild master as an a.s.sistant, took the two leather bags on the desk and handed them to the leader, Maevis.
Apparently, Felicia seemed to have completely decided that everything related to the ãRed oathãwas her charge.
And of course, there were no people who could complain about it, and other guild members accepted it as a matter of course.
ããããThank you!ãããã(Red Oath)
As usual, after lowering their head altogether, Maevis pa.s.sed to Mile the bags without even trying to check the contents of the leather bag to store in the item box.
Of course, they will count it later, but they will not do such a thing here...
Itâs not cool.
ãSo, how was the result of the interrogation?ã(Mile)
And Mile asked what she was interested about.
ãOh, they are mostly middle-cla.s.s aristocrats from other countries, as well as those in our country,
They are people who took ridicule philosophies that they purchased somewhere,
originally from the East.
It seems that was the country where this regilion originated from but they couldnât conduct it because the restrict of their countryã(GM)
ãEast country ...ã(Mile)
The ãRed oathã went west from Mileâs mother country and Paulineâs mother country.
They went through the town where Mile registered hunter, west of the Tyrus Kingdom, via the Kingdom of Brandel which is the home country of Mile, continued going further to the west this country.
In other words, that country wasnât far from the Tyrus kingdom but was on completely the opposite direction.
It was rather troublesome.
(But now, they were already coming here, and they might do it again next time ...) (Mile)
Mile didnât have a sense of crisis.
ãWell, well, they seem to have done a summoning of G.o.d
ãa ceremony for the descendant of G.o.dã...
They insisted that they didnât intend to harm her,
In fact, since they hadnât added any harm, they werenât murderers but just kidnappers.
They donât fall under either trafficking or illegal slavery.
No, even abduction alone is felony enough, but the victim this time isnât a human but a beastkin.
Besides, some aristocrats and merchants who seem to be relatives have put pressure on our country...ã(GM)
It is a big lie.
At that time, they surely said ãSacrificeã
Besides, there is no way to use beastkins who were saying ãunclean creaturesã as G.o.dâs descent.
But that isnât what Mile can decide.
Their remarks, including the word ãSacrificeã, have all been testified.
On that basis, if it was so decided by political consideration or something,
it was no longer something that the C-rank hunter can do.
ãIs that so...ã(Mile)
Mile gave up collecting further information.
Besides, Mile wouldnât even know if the story that the guild master heard was true.
More than that, it would be meaningless to ask.
Those people in charge arenât like Mile,
With them, the kidnappers were punished, the same incident might never happen again so they are okay.
Their purpose was like âIt is over and it does not matter anymoreâ
And even though there is pressure from aristocrats but those criminals wonât escape their punishment as the ãkidnappersã
However, they only thought that ãthe evil spiritã is just a myth and so on, so they wonât bother going further.
As for those who escaped criminal slavery were never innocent released.
They will still be imprisoned, they need to pay a huge amount of money to bail, and they will receive some punishment.
And it seems that even their friends, who werenât here this time will still be properly surveyed.
...Now that the majority of main fanatics were caught, it would be impossible for them to continue to do decent activities.
But they would still be monitoring.
As for the ãServant of the G.o.ddessã, it seems that they already heard the explanation and got the prize money.
Only for this, the ãRed Oathã was one step behind the ãservant of the G.o.ddessã
ãWell, today I will do a normal job!ã(Rena)
ãããOh!ããã(Mile Trio)
Then they returned to the first floor of the guild, and theãRed Oathã looked at the request board.
*******************
Go~sori (SFX)
At midnight, there was someone woke up in the room where everyone was asleep.
Yes, it was Mile.
Because she already cast the magic of soundproofing and anti-shake, the other girls wouldnât wake up even if Mile was sneaking at the top of the bunk bed.
Mile already set a wake-up call from a nanomachine with the direct vibration of the eardrum, whispered at the ear.
Although it was still night, it wasnât ãMorningãat all. But the nanomachines said ãGood morning Mile-kun. Itâs time for your mission...ã
Of course, that line was designed by Mile.
And Mile muttered.
ãWell, now itâs time for the ãSpy missionã!ã(Mile)
It seemed that she thought of something (average again), a dubious strategy, a single action.
