16. On the other hand, at that time 3 ~ Expulsion party’s perspective ~

In the Adventurer's Guild, there was a strange atmosphere.

"Damn it !!"?

They were stripped of their clothes and robbed of their weapons suitable for an S-rank party. They were only left with their bodies.

Azel grit his teeth and slammed the table.

"Why am I, going around in this shitty outfit? Ah!

"It's not just you!"

In their shabby forms, they release their anger.

They were as good as dead when they were captured by the bandits, unilaterally harming the inhabitants. They didn’t want to understand that.

"It's a coincidence that we lost ......! Yes, an accident. It's just a coincidence that it happened in succession.”

Cold stares pierced Azel's face as he refused to admit anything.

He distorted his face and hit the party members other than Mia.

"What's with that look! Who’s the reason you made it to S rank? Aanh !?"

Azel.

Those who think so cannot go against him.

"Since it’s like this, I'll gather all the people in the Adventurer's Guild to kill them. I'll kill that empress! Nigris too!"

"If you do it in such a big way, it's bad!"

"Shut up! The Adventurer's Guild is on our side. We’re one of the few S-ranked parties! That's how special we are!"

There are still plenty of opportunities.?

Or so they thought, but It was betrayed in a heartbeat.

The receptionist and guards approached while he yelled trying to gather their friends.

"S rank party, silver wings, right?"

"What? You’re a receptionist for the Guild?"

He completely forgets his shabby looks and acts confident.

"There was a fledgling adventurer who joined you previously. What happened to the newcomer?"

"Ah? As I reported it, he was killed by a Red Wolf."

"...... As for that report, we found his body. The scars indicate that he was killed not by fangs of the Red Wolf, but by a sharp sword.”

"What the hell are you talking about? Found his body──── are you trying to say that I killed him?"

The Adventurers begin to make noise.

To kill party members.

It’s the most illegal thing to do among adventurers. If they get caught, not only will the adventurer be deprived of his adventuring privileges, but all the party members will be made slaves.

"... I'm sorry. We'd like to ask you a few questions, so could you please come with us?"

"You've got to be kidding me!”

"That's right! We have a duty to protect this town. We don't have time for this!”

Mia quickly helped.

If they were taken in as it is, They'd lose their escape.

They would surely fall into slavery.

They said they found the corpse of the newcomer.

That means there’s evidence that Azel killed him.

"... Were you receiving a quest? It looks like you've just returned though."

"We’re still on it! We’re on a quest from a high noble!"

The great aristocrats.

It's a quest from a different force than the Adventurer's Guild.

The receptionist realized she couldn’t handle this poorly.

They were an S-rank party. They handle quests of a reasonable difficulty level.

"... Okay, then please report when it's over."

*

Azel screams.

This is in the forest.

"What the hell is this?”

We can't go to the adventurer's guild to get allies.

We've been stripped of our clothes.

We have no sword, no wand, no nothing.

If we stay in the capital as it is, we’ll be caught on suspicion of killing the newbie. Then even slavery is on the way.

"I don't like this. I can't be a slave ...!" (Mia)

"Neither do I. ...... I've come so far."(Azel)

"If we kill the Empress and are made nobles, all our sins will disappear."

First is money. If we have the money to prepare weapons and armor, we can do it.

"Hey, look at that."

"...A carriage?"

"We’ll attack it"

They have no concept of savings.

They are lavish, self-absorbed, and don't mind getting their hands on other people's things.

"Good idea, Azel"

And Nigris and the others were nearby.
