The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

117 – Knights who swallowed monsters (1)

“We need to organize the black society.”

As much as I suddenly took a long vacation, the end of the break was also abrupt. Lena, who was smiling brightly, did not stiffen her expression. Rather, as if she had waited, she untied her hands and gave the hero a passionate gaze.

The hero took out the papers on the table and said.

“It seems that the front is constantly suffering from the black society. Even an attempted assassination can put pressure on itself, and there are stories of many commanders actually being unable to push forward because of this. The higher up sees that this black society can no longer be left unattended.”

Ashria and I looked at Lena. She spoke in a more cheerful and high voice with the look on her face.

“what’s the matter?”

“Are you okay? Lena?”

“When it’s time to break up, you have to organize your mind. If I stay depressed every time I kill the black society, people who see it will get tired of it, right? It’s really okay. Originally, that… … . They say wounds are covered with new memories, right? Because the outline of how to live after the black society is gone… … . Rather, it feels like it has come.”

Lena’s face was really lively. Did you completely organize your mind about the black society during the vacation? I felt a little envious of her like that. Pretending to be an adult, pretending to be an elder, I still couldn’t get out of the empire.

“I’m glad.”

He nodded. When I tapped her on the shoulder, Lena grabbed my finger with her own and refused to release it like a pair of pincers. When I waved my hand like someone bitten by a snake, the hero cleared his throat.

I turned my gaze back to the papers as if I had been messing around with Lena. Lena had a smile on her face, and the hero was trying to remain solemn because he knew it was a serious strategy meeting. Millet stared at the map and asked.

“By the way, how are you going to catch it? The Black Society are assassins, right? Even Lena can’t be found if she hides once. How do you find the hidden assassins?”

“Assassins don’t seek out, they draw out.”

When the hero raised his hand, men with solemn expressions came rushing out from the stairs upstairs. There were exactly five of them, two with golden wigs, one with long black hair, one with long hair like me, and one with an orange wig.

“Wow, your hair color is similar to ours.”

Millet cast a curious look on her face and said so. The warrior nodded in satisfaction as he explained to her.

“Those people will go downstairs as a party of warriors now.”

“You’re clearly intending to cheat on our location.”

It was the same method used during the last Black Society bait operation. At that time, it was limited to suppressing rumors by proceeding informally, but this time, he said that he planned to send those people to the border of the demon world.

“Because they are all knights who have undergone special training. I think there is no problem. It’s not actually a mission, it’s a role to draw attention from nearby and let people know that the warriors are here.”

“…Wouldn’t it have been better to have a woman at least?”

Lena had a face that didn’t like having a man play her part. They weren’t just wearing wigs. All of them were dressed in at least some of the costumes appropriate to their roles. Ashuria in a nun’s outfit was okay, but Lena and Millet’s doubles wearing short shorts and wigs looked like male prostitutes selling themselves at a cheap gay bar.

The warrior made a shy expression and spoke in a small voice.

“…..Lena. Your role and Miele’s role are female.”

Lena stiffened for a moment, then immediately stood up and apologized.

“….sorry.”

Reflexively, I almost got up and apologized, but I just bowed my head lightly, because skits like that only make people stupider. Lena’s double nodded in a military manner and said.

“no. I got used to it because it was often misunderstood.”

The warrior cleared his throat to clear the atmosphere and spoke to the stand-in.

“Yes. Are you ready anyway?”

The man in charge of the hero said in a blunt and thick voice.

“Yes, it is! Study all the characters of the warriors party! We are now able to do the perfect portrayal. As your substitute, I have the confidence to fool the eyes of the demons!”

The hero turned to us at the word perfect description. Everyone, including me, seemed curious about the word ‘perfect description’. The hero looked around us once and then said to the double.

“…This request may be a little unpleasant, but can you show it? Saying you did it perfectly makes me a little curious.”

“Yes! All right! First of all, Lord Ashuria!”

When the name of the hero’s substitute was called, the Ashuria substitute came forward with his black hair dancing. He had a solemn appearance befitting a priest, and his strong forearms and knuckles in his hands showed his strength.

Ashuria was also looking at the stand-in with anticipation.

In the midst of everyone’s attention, the mouth of the Ashuria substitute opened.

“hello. I am Ashuria, a priest of the Order.”

“…..How did you do it?”

It was Lena who immediately responded. With an absurd expression, he looked at Ashuria’s double, then at Ashuria again. Ashuria looked at Lena with a dumbfounded face and said.

“Do I have that voice?”

The hero nodded in admiration, and Millet shouted with her eyes twinkling.

“That is amazing! You have the same voice as the real Ashuria!”

“…..No, but is it said that it resembles a voice? Aren’t they supposed to look alike?”

Ashuria’s double was a head taller than Ashuria, and her muscles tightened her nun’s uniform. In fact, if you look only at the appearance, Ashuria’s stand-in was more of a rogue dressed as a nun than a nun. Said the warrior stand-in.

“This friend was the only martial arts practitioner! sorry!”

“Oh, no. I have no regrets! It looks just like him!”

The hero hurriedly gave encouragement, and I also chimed in. My morale plummets when I hear a weak response from a mission I worked hard for.

“Yes! of course! It’s really the same!”

I could feel Ashuria staring at me.

“…the voice.”

I hastily added an afterword.

“thank you! Then, Lena-sama, I will show you!”

The band shouted in a blunt voice. His face was stiff, not like a hero’s double, but he seemed quite happy when the response was good. It was clear that the corners of his lips were rising more than before.

When Lena’s name was called, Lena responded with an enthusiastic whistle. It seemed that he was a little sorry for throwing out the stupid words without thinking a moment ago. Lena’s double came forward hesitantly and looked at the hero’s double with a hesitant expression.

The hero’s double nodded with a sharp expression like a senior, and Lena’s double bit his lip and wiggled his hands.

The hero lightly touched his palms to draw attention and then said to the hero’s stand-in.

“Ah yes. That’s enough. Because it’s like this. It’s a drawing that makes us show off our talents, so I don’t think it’s polite to the knights. I’ve been training hard so far, and I’m sure you’ll put in because you’re confident in actual combat, but I believe you’ll do well. Please go in.”

“Yes!”

Lena’s double turned around and entered. The hero’s double shouted in a more rapid voice.

“then! I wish you success in your operation!”

The knights disappeared again. They clenched their fists and tapped each other on the shoulders, or pursed their lips and closed their eyes as if moved. It seemed that being recognized by the hero was such a good thing. After confirming that all the knights had disappeared, the hero cleared his throat and started talking again.

“…Anyway, they’ll do our doubles.”

I nodded and asked.

“Then are we going in soldiers’ uniforms?”

The warrior nodded at my question.

She wiggled her finger and pointed to a map.

It’s a bit far from the front, but it’s an area where there’s nothing you can’t do to cross the border and infiltrate. The hero raised his finger at that point and said.

“We are planning to hold a commanders’ meeting here to find a way to push the front line this time. Let the Hero party draw attention from below, and establish a strategy in the meantime. A strategy of gaining an advantage on the front by sharing a newly created operational plan… … . I told you.”

said Lena.

“Then we infiltrate this meeting place as escorts?”

The warrior nodded.

“right. For Stauffen, who is inwardly focused, this opportunity will look like a golden opportunity. I will take action one way or another.”

The hero’s hand went to the enemy camp on the map. The place that was once my hometown was dyed red.

“If we can’t push it out with military force, we will choose the method with the least risk.”
