The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

70 – Cat Thieves (8)

The manager continued to praise the giant woman, not even noticing that Ornet was chewing her lips.

The guild leader and pig healer, who fully understood the situation, also agreed.

Then, the composition split between the guild members surrounding Lucene and Ornette, who was alone and groping in vain on the wall of the building that had a defensive spell on it.

It’s not this, it’s not this… ?

If the defensive magic had worked properly, by now they would have been stuck upside down like flies on the exterior wall of the building instead of corpses, so it would have been possible to capture them alive?

So, it was like interrogating them, handing them over to the border guards for investigation, and collecting damages from the other guild?

I get compliments from the office manager?!

But why didn’t the defensive magic work?

This doesn’t make sense… !

“Why don’t you show some sincerity instead of just praising me with words?”

Leana was disgusted when Lucene jokingly curled her index finger and thumb to make a gold coin shape.

“It is a guild member’s duty to protect the guild from external threats. It is included in your salary.”

“Ugh, okay. Don’t be angry.”

Luce smiled and waved her hand.

“Wow, but Luce… How can her muscles be like this… “

Celestine carefully poked Lucene’s abs with her index finger.

“Do you want to see this too?”

Luce As you gave strength, his chest opened slightly.

“Wow! That’s amazing!”

“You always work out every morning. If you work with me, I can make you like me in a month.”

“Really!?”

“Of course. Shall we start together tomorrow?”

A friendly atmosphere.

But Ornette couldn’t join in.

All of this happened because the defensive magic didn’t work.

“Come on, let’s finish the situation first.”

Leonard clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the guild members.

“Lucene cleans up the bodies, and Leana prepares to file a complaint with the border guards. Celestine helps Lucene. I will go to the border guard right away.”

“Okay.” “All right.” “Yes!”

“And Ornette…”

Leonard, who looked back at Ornette, paused for a moment and spoke.

“Remove the defensive magic on the guild building. I don’t think there will be any more attacks.”

“Ah…”

Ornette stared at Leonard with a bewildered expression.

“Why?”

“No…”

Ornette disarmed the defensive spell on the building and quickly entered the guild.

After entering the room, Ornette went to the window and glanced down.

But the office manager was already walking to the other side of the alley.

Probably going to report to the border guard.

The giant warrior and the pig healer are collecting corpses and fallen weapons.

“Haa…”

Ornette sighed and touched her forehead.

Going crazy… Why didn’t the defensive magic work?

I shouted loudly to the office manager that I could leave at any time.

You’ve become a wizard who can’t even stop a few assassins.

If this happens, instead of the guild catching me, I’ll just be living on the sidelines…

Ornette is not the type of person to show off her pride

But I can’t stand it being cut down.

It was Ornette, a part of the personality separated from the high wizard.

He knew to some extent that the magic power he could handle was above average, and he actually used quite powerful magic.

You can delve into the other person’s psychology, show them what you want as an illusion, prevent other wizards from escaping beyond a certain range, or even make the entire villa disappear from view.

However, I was unable to exert any strength at the really important moment.

The magic listed so far is something you can do without having to do.

However, this time, the defensive magic could have resulted in the entire guild being wiped out.

“I’m going crazy…”

Ornet sighed again and wiped his face.

What does the office manager think of me? Of course they would think it was pathetic.

I feel ashamed.

The defensive magic didn’t work, and a giant warrior whom Ornette despises stepped in to solve the problem.

What should I really do…

Ornet, who was leaning against the window and still covering his face, slowly raised his head.

The guild… Should I leave…

But what do I do when I leave?

Although she boasted to the office manager, Ornette actually has nowhere to go.

What can I do when I don’t know a single person in this world and I can’t even prove my ID right now?

Moreover, Ornette has no goal in life.

For example, you can’t even do common things like visit the person who created you.

Because that wizard’s head was cut off by the office manager.

I like and got used to living comfortably like I do now, sitting in a guild.

No, what am I worrying about now?

Just stay in the guild, there’s no need to leave…

But I felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed!

It would be better if you scolded me to my face, but if you just ignore it, I’ll feel even more discouraged!

It is absolutely impossible for me to shamelessly pretend that nothing is wrong!

Ha… What do we do…

Ornette was irritated, tearing at her hair

* * * * *

“Are you saying that the Assassin’s Guild of Chantisy… Ambushed the Lucas Guild in the middle of the night?”

A member of the Border Guard Civil Affairs Office asked back with a dumb expression.

“There were fourteen people, one ran away and the rest all died.”

“Are you saying you killed thirteen assassins…” ” ?”

“Is that so? Why do you keep repeating what I say?”

“Oh, no… I just can’t believe that… “

“Anyway, please come quickly. And I want to sue them. Is that possible?”

“Yes… That’s right… Please wait for a moment.”

One member got up and hurriedly ran inside the headquarters.

After a while, I saw Captain Vivien, the head of the investigation department, who had become contemplative, rushing towards me.

“Hello, Chief.”

“Are you saying there was an attack from the Tenèvre Guild?!”

“Yes. I don’t know how many times I come here and say that.”

“Really?!”

“Is it true?! Go check it out for yourself. Do you think I’m crazy and come here in the middle of the night and say something like that?”

“Huh. This is a really big deal.”

Captain Vivien scratched his head for a moment as if gathering his thoughts and then gave instructions to his crew.

“Have all groups on standby at night dispatched to the Lucas Guild. Including the investigators on duty.”

“I understand. Shall I report this to the captain as well?”

“Of course I should! A fight broke out between guilds in the middle of the city!”

“It was not a fight, but a one-sided assassination attempt.”

“Oh, yes. Anyway. Then, let’s go quickly.”

When I corrected it, Captain Vivien brushed it off as if it wasn’t that important.

After a while, the area in front of our guild was filled with dispatched guards.

The alley was lit up like broad daylight by moving torches, and it was noisy with the shouts of investigators examining the corpse and guards preventing onlookers from approaching.

Lucene and I faced the investigators in the counseling room and told them what happened at the time.

“So… You are saying that because the Dremont Trading Company was continuously attacked, you were sent in to deal with the mysterious people, and when you killed them, they turned out to be members of the Tenevre Guild?”

“Yes.”

“So you came to take revenge on the Tenebre Guild for killing their guild members?”

“That’s my guess. There’s no way to confirm since they’re all dead. But as many as fourteen people came here from Chantisy. Is there any purpose other than that?”

“Hmm, yes.”

The investigator did not carelessly express his opinion on my words and diligently wrote down my statement in his notebook.”Have you ever been involved with the Tenèvre Guild in the past?”

“No. This is when I found out that there was a guild called Tenevre in the first place. I saw the tattoo on her on her on her back on her on her.”

“By the way, Mr. Lucene.”

Another investigator next to me opened his mouth.

“According to what you said, it appears that you attacked Tenevre’s guild members first. Is that correct?”

“No? They threw the hook at me first?”

Lucene blinked her eyes as if she had no idea what she was talking about.

Now, Lucene was just out of bed, wearing only panties and a bra, with her arms crossed and her legs crossed.

The muscles of the entire body shaded by candlelight are very impressive.

“Are you saying that self-defense is recognized only after someone has been stabbed in the head with a hook and shed a lot of blood?”

Lucene smiled her characteristic relaxed smile

“Even if a dozen highly trained assassins surround the border guard and storm in, you’re just going to watch in silence until a poisoned dagger gets stuck in your head, right?”

“No, that’s not it. I’m just checking.”

“Is that so? I didn’t hit him first. He threw a hook and I got hit by it. I backed away, but he tried to hit me again, so I just blocked it.”

Lucene lied without changing the expression on his her face her her her her.

“Then what about you on the roof?”

“Huh? Do I have to get permission from the garrison to watch the stars from the rooftop of my guild? I didn’t know the principality was such a harsh place.”

Lucene shook her head with a helpless smile.

Although she spoke so lightly, her sturdy body dwarfed a man of considerable stature and her unique, overwhelming aura made it impossible for her investigators to question her any further.

“Let’s stop harassing them and catch the guild members over there and kick them. They are clearly the victims. Is it difficult to keep pushing both sides into negligence or a guild war like this? I will file an official complaint with the city court…”

“Stop.”

Conversely, he said while stopping Lucene who was trying to push the investigators.

“According to our guild leader, there are probably three or four people still alive. Instead of doing this here, how about asking Chantisier for cooperation in the investigation?”

Then, Leana told me that she had roughly calculated the number of Tenebre guild members.

“Thank you for the advice. We have already sent an official letter for investigation cooperation to Chantisy.”

“Huh? Then why are you torturing people so they can’t sleep when you can just wait?”

As Lucene told her humorous joke, the investigators glanced at each other nervously.

Lucene certainly has a great sense of intimidation that completely intimidates the person she encounters.

That is also one of the passive skills that I worked hard to develop.

If it weren’t for the last resort, I wouldn’t have been able to say a word to Lucene.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Leana was completing the complaint against the Tenevre Guild as I instructed and showing it to Captain Vivien.

Bad guys.

It is customary not to retaliate for something that happened during a request, but since it came out like this, we have to beat it up in various ways.

Lose manpower, lose money, and completely fail.

Lucene smiled brightly as she saw me laughing.

* * * * *

Leonard was laughing to himself, wondering what was so exciting.

I guess I’m in a really good mood thinking about destroying the Tenevre Guild.

Lucene felt very uncomfortable as she smiled at Leonard.

It was because of what Leonard said after killing all the Tenevres earlier.

‘Good job, Lucene.’

The moment Lucene heard those words, something happened… I felt something very strange.

Even though this is the first compliment I’ve heard from Leonard, it’s familiar as if I’ve heard it for a long time… That feeling.
