Episode 352: Start of the investigation

The next day.

We decide to start working on the request we accepted. For that reason, we will proceed while discussing in the living room.

"Today, we're going to do the investigation, but honestly, isn't it okay if we only do that last part?"

However, I feel that not only this quest, but most other quests can be solved by moving the Kagema.

"That's right, but the Kagema gather information. We are the execution unit. I think it's good to divide roles like that. Luck will be overworked, and we will be a black company, right?"

"That's right, isn't it."

I realize it when Rei tells me.

It's ridiculously black to have Luck do everything. And despite that, making the reward our own is a terrible story. We have to work too.

I reflect on my own thoughts.

"Won?"

"Isn't it wrong to make you alone do all the work?"

When I stroke the back of Luck who is sitting next to me, it tilts its head and asks me what is wrong, so I apologize for trying to get the reward without doing anything.

"Wonn!!"

"You want to do that? No, no, you can't do that. You and the Kagema should rest properly, you know? If you want something, I'll buy it for you, okay?"

"Won!"

However, Luck is rather happy to be able to work for me, so it licks my face while wagging its tail and showing its joy.

Really ... It also has the idea of wanting to be useful to me. I have become a bad person.

"Besides, you want people to think that Luck is just a normal wolf-type subordinate, right? In order to hide the ability of the shadows while using it, it would be better not to do flashy actions and stop at collecting information, and even if it is exposed through conspicuous actions, in order to make an excuse that it is the power of Fuhito-kun, when using the power in public, I think it would be better to leave it in a situation where Fuhito-kun is nearby."

"Got it."

Rei continues talking.

It's true that Luck's ability is too useful, so if it were to be exposed, I think any organization would rush to ask me for information or dive into dungeons to find it.

And if they couldn't find it, they might turn on me for having it. No, I think that will happen in 9 out of 10 cases. That's something I want to avoid.

It's really helpful that she thinks about things like that.

"Then, from now on, I'm going to ask Luck to collect information basically using Kagema so that no one can find them, we will be responsible for securing the dungeon and the execution part such as rescue. Of course, using Luck's shadow power as a support when moving or infiltrating."

"Right."

"Won!"

After deciding a rough policy, we decide to actually start gathering information.

"Well then, Luck, this is the list of the people written on it, we brought their personal belongings with their respective smells, so can you remember them?"

"Won!"

Rei takes out a large carrying case and a list from her expansion bag, and while showing the list in front of Luck, she puts on gloves and lets it smell the items on the list that have a human scent on them.

"Won!"

"Is it okay now?"

"Won!"

"You're as excellent as ever. Well then, can you collect information?"

"Won!"

Luck seems to memorize them in a matter of minutes, giving instructions to Kagema while being petted by Rei.

"Let's find out what's going on with the transfer trap."

""Roger.""

Since the number of disappearances stopped suddenly, we decide to check all the teleportation traps in the dungeons that the explorers were diving into in order to find out the cause.

"Apparently, the teleportation traps have come to function normally."

As a result of investigating several dungeons where the disappearance incidents occurred from morning to evening, it turns out that the transfer traps are fixed in one place and don't move, the transfer destination is not another dungeon, and it turns out to be in the same dungeon.

Of course, the other dungeons haven't been investigated yet, but I think it's almost certain.

If the teleportation traps were alive, we would know where they were teleported to, so we could have traveled and investigated by asking questions, but it wouldn't be a complete piggyback ride.

Even if we can't expect the speed of movement of using teleportation, we try to find a means of transportation that doesn't rely on Luck.

Actually, there's something I want to try, so this is a good opportunity.

"With this, we can't move using the transfer traps, so we'll have to wait for the Kagema to investigate."

"That's right. But, I'm sure Luck will find them soon."

When I mutter in disappointment, Nanami replies as if raising a Flag.

"Won!"

"You see?"

And the Flag was recovered in an instant.

Nanami looks at me with a triumphant look as if so say that it is exactly what she said to Luck, who barks that it has obtained the information.

"Haa ... That's right. Alright, it seems that Luck has found the missing person. Let's go to the scene immediately."

""Roger.""

Thus we teleport to the scene where the missing person is.

"Hey~, help mee!!"

There is a Japanese explorer surrounded by many monsters.

"It's a Stampede!!"

It seems that our turn has come unexpectedly early.

We rush into the Stampede to rescue the person we found.
