Lapis and Tizona came back after some time. Loren told them about Gula’s idea, and they readily accepted it. Loren was worried about Tizona crossing the moat, but Tizona herself didn’t seem to care much. The cause of Loren’s worry was Tizona’ over-the-top armor. He wondered if she really could swim in it. He had been taught the technique to swim in armor during his mercenary days as it was a necessary skill, but it was only for light ones made from leather and such. Likewise, he just…-

After a not-very-satisfying sleep, they had a similarly, not-very-satisfying breakfast, after which the party closed in on the vicinity of the ruin. Their carriage was well-hidden. The sight made Loren feel sick. Rather than being built on the mountain, the ruin was carved into the mountain itself. The enormous entrance appeared as if it was stuck to the mountain surface, and could be seen from a distance, giving it quite an unnatural look. Loren wondered why such a construction hadn’t been…

Just as Lapis said, the post-town officials didn’t need that much time to verify their story. They started interrogating the captured bandits and dispatching riders on fast horses to the depot location right away. Loren’s party was proved to have raided and destroyed the depot, and earned much gratitude from the town. “Why’s it feel like they change their attitude wey too easily?” Gula wondered. At first, she was still holding a grudge over the town’s earlier distrust, but the…

“This has become a kind of odd story, don’t you think?” Loren muttered after finishing his interrogations, and the others all nodded to show their agreement. After Loren had questioned all the surviving bandits, they had checked the information with Lapis’ map, and had found the approximate location of the bandits’ base. And that was what Loren mentioned as ‘odd’. “No matter how you look at it, this place is…” “It’s where Tizona-chan’s ruin…

In the end, Loren wondered if they used more force than necessary to deal with the bandits. Attacked from the front and the rear by Tizona’s fire and Gula’s Gluttony power, the bandits weren’t able to regroup for a retaliation. They fell into disorder with no need for interference from Loren and Lapis, couldn’t properly fight back, and ended up either being burned to ashes or becoming food to some invisible stomach. “Don’t kill them all, alright? Leave some that look…

Comparing the information Loren got from the bandit with Lapis’ map, they found out that the bandits’ depot was on a mountain. It would take them a day to get there on foot, but they could arrive in no time on horseback. Wanting to save as much time as possible, the party decided to borrow some horses from the town. However, the town didn’t have enough horses for all of them, so they had to make do with one fast horse and a sturdy carriage instead. “It’ll be very simple if I burn them all…

“In conclusion, interrogating an underling is not that worthwhile.” Loren washed his blood-stained hands at a well by the road, dried them with a piece of cloth torn off from the bandits’ clothes, and said. Gula frowned at him a little. They had successfully intercepted the raid, but since the bandits were too efficient, it didn’t make much of a difference. Half of the stolen goods were left behind, and Gula killing off tens-odd bandits by herself were the only successes they could…

Leaving the luggage to Lapis and Tizona, Loren and Gula rushed towards the location, from which smoke was rising. “Is’t alright for me to fight a lil more seriously this time?” Gula asked Loren as she followed him closely from behind. Still running, Loren spared her a half-glance and replied: “Not a good idea. Play it safe, play it safe.” “Why’d you leave Tizona-chan behind then?” If Gula could fight in earnest, it would surely be easy. But no matter…

Loren’s party hurriedly left the store and got back to their inn. They headed for the stable, where their donkeys were kept, as soon as they arrived. Sensing something had happened, the innkeeper asked them about the current situation, but they had no time to answer him. They packed and loaded the donkeys, but before they could take them out of the stable, the situation had changed. “Ah, this is no good, ain’t it?” Gula, who was pulling the donkeys’ reins, said the moment she left the small…
