Chapter 25: The One Who Invades Asgard

My name is Louser. I used to be an adventurer, but I was hired by the Azul Chamber of Commerce for my skills and I’m in charge of rough trade. If it’s a big company, you can’t handle things cleanly. In some cases, they even need their competitors to have unfortunate accidents.

This job suits me as I’ve always been a man of my hands before my mouth, I rarely have to go into dangerous dungeons like I did when I was an adventurer and my opponents are often weaker than me. I guess you could say it was my calling.

This time, I heard that there was a former knight of the Kings guard who will be the opponent, but other than her, the rest of the team seemed to be amateurs and most importantly, there were wizards brought in by a member of the royal family called Kyle. I called out to a man in a robe nearby.

“Hey, if you need anything, I’m at your service.”

“Don’t talk to me. I don’t want you to interfere with my magic.”

I tried to be friendly, but the man just snorted and ignored me. I was a little pissed off, but then again, these guys are apparently noblemen, so I guess it’s inevitable that they’d be pompous.

I’ve seen magic before when I was an adventurer and it was amazing. I was impressed by the way they burned away the monsters in no time. And this guy was a member of the royal guard. He was probably even better than the wizards of my adventuring days.

It seems that the opponents have a weapon that is stronger than a bow called a gun, but you can use the ones closest to you as shields.

And above all, ……

“Am I free to kill everyone except for Grace, Vigna and Bowman……?”

I chuckled at the order. There are some rare items there that can be picked up and sold for a good amount of money and there are also some young women there…. which means that if you catch them, you can take them. You can’t be too flashy about it, but if it’s just one person, it doesn’t matter how you do it.

“I can see it now! They’ve surrounded it with those mud walls. That’s cheeky.”

“Haha, it’ll work against the thieves and monsters. But we have wizards.”

As the voice of my companion said, we finally arrived at a village surrounded by mud walls. We thought we would be attacked by monsters along the way, but thanks to their efforts to exterminate them, we encountered only a few. I guess they shot their own foot.

I licked my tongue and called out to the wizard for more fun.

“Come on, smash down the wall with your magic.”

“Hmm, I’ll do it now, wait a bit. The breath of the flame god, become an arrow……”

The wizard’s chanting produced a mass of fire. There is a small hole in the earthen wall and sometimes arrows fly through it, but they never reach this far.

All that was left was for us to sneak into the wall that was gorged by the magic and overrun the place… the moment I thought so, I heard a scream with a dry sound and something splattered

“Hit!”

What just happened? I was confused, but when I touched something thick on my cheek, I saw that it was bright red.

Is this …… blood?

But whose is it? When I turned around, the wizard who had been chanting magic had a hole in between his eyes and was in agony…. He lost control of the magic which explodes.

“Uoooooo”

It could be said that it was a miracle. I was able to escape fatal injury because I had a shield and the magic spell was halfway through.

I raise my body that was blown away by the shock and watch the situation. There were a few other people still alive, it seemed.

“You guys, join the others for now…..”

A dry sound echoed again and the man next to me who had been moaning blew up and died. What is it? What’s going on? I look at the village with its mud walls with fear.

Is something flying from there? I hear a third dry sound……
