The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 44

Listen, Mei. Our first priority is to save Lily. We'll deal with the criminals later.

"okay."

We come to the hideout of the crime organization Lily is being held in, and we hide in the shadows to plan our strategy.

“This is the plan. I'm gonna get Lily out of here, and you take her and run to safety. If you see anyone suspicious, shoot back with a gun. It's better if you don't kill them, because it will be possible to get more information from them, but you can kill them if you want. They were the ones who kidnapped those nobles. They'll get the death penalty for impunity."

"With a magic weapon I will shoot."

“It would be good not to cause damage to people or home. It's midnight, so it's relatively safe."

“I leave that to you, . Accuracy perfect.”

"It's so good."

If I save Lily, they'll definitely notice me. So, before they can fight back, I have to finish them off at once.

“..... Then let's start the mission.”

Mei and I jumped out of the shadows and ran to the gate of the hideout. The bored-looking gatekeeper noticed us and asked who we were.

"Who are you?" …… ”

“I hate it when people make a fuss."

If it was just me, Mei would still be here. Until we get Lilly out of here, we have to be quiet.

“In case they wait, we're in trouble. ……

"'Sonar', 'telephone tapping'."

I will use two magic to find out if there are any hidden enemies. This is because in this world, there are people who can use sonar-breaking magic "stealth" and "silence". Sonar breakers are magic that prevent the other party from detecting its presence, such as stealth devices. It hides your presence by absorbing the magic detection waves emitted by the opponent, or by bouncing them back in a completely different direction. Silence also blocks the flow of air around you so that no sound is transmitted.

Both of these magic are said to be very important to an assassin.

“......, but not many people can use such advanced magic.

Unlike "sonar," which is a non-attribute C-rank magic, "stealth" is a non-attribute A-rank magic. It is also a B-rank non-attribute magic. In the case if a person is an assassin who is highly skilled in both, he does not have to go against the law to be employed by a legitimate organization such as the military at a tremendous rate. There was no need for this kind of bandit.

“..... Okay, no reaction.

After making sure there were no ambushes, I opened the gate and ran to the warehouse-type building where Lily was being held.

"Lily, I'm here to save you."

“Hal……!

Lily looked at me with tears streaming down from the other side of the bars.

"It's okay. Just stay away from that door.”

"alright.

After confirming that Lily was far away from the door, I released a shock wave that pierced through the door.

The door exploded inward with a loud sound.

"Lilly!"

"Git-kun!"

Lily jumped out of that place and hugged me. It looks like he's not chained up or anything.

"Come fast and go somewhere safe."

"Uh huh."

Perhaps feeling something unusual, from within the nearby building suddenly became noisy. This was a good opportunity to escape while no one had come out yet.

"This way!"

"I'm sure you have a lot to say, but for now I'd appreciate it if you just shut up and follow me."

By the way, Lily and Mei have always regarded each other as enemies. But not in that case.

We're going to the tower where we can see the whole city, so that's the best place for us to visit.

"I see, you've thought of that."

From the tall bell tower, we can shoot enemies from a distance. If they try to climb from below, the enemy will not be able to get close to us after the stairs are blocked. It won't be suitable for long-term combat, but we don't have to worry about it, because I will run as soon as I destroy the enemy.

“How do we get up there? I think the ladder is locked.”

"Here you go "

Meii pulled out the key.

“That's key.

"Why didn't you get it out earlier?"

If you tell me, I don't have to climb the wall.

"It went up before I could say anything. …… ”

When he said that, I couldn't argue with him. I mean, six-year-olds don't usually have keys. There's no way I could have predicted that.

“Oh, May that's not normal. …… ”

Meanwhile, I heard a loud noise coming from the hiding place. Looks like we've been noticed.

"I'm coming ."

"Uh huh."

Mei pulls Lily with her, whether she likes it or not.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

“Because it calls you a stupid cat.

Don't worry about that. Hurry up, or you'll be caught again.”

"Thank you, …….""

It seems that the conflict has been resolved.

“Lily, where are your guards and servants?

"Hal, I wonder if you can help them too."

"alright. I'll help them too.

The more you help them, the more layers of protection you have against Lily.

“Yeah, then I will punish them for their arrogance. ……"

"I'll make them pay for everything they've done!"

“Hal.

"What's?

"…… Please."

"All right."

I watched the two of them walk to safety towards the Temple, and then head to the hideout of the evil organization. It's gonna be a bloodbath tonight. No one will escape alive.
