"Your knees are very comfortable to rest on."
"I want to let you rest your head on my pillow a little longer..."
Sirocco's gaze wasn't fixed on Mute, but rather on what was behind her.
The person we were waiting for has arrived.
Within sight, the door to the room behind Mute had been opened at some point.
Two people were standing.
The uniform was gray and black, with red armbands with black trim and the symbols of balance (scales) and death (scythe).
They activated magic—
Good afternoon, tuner.
Mütter naturally noticed and politely smiled as he revealed their identities.
Their actions were faster and stronger than the two men's magical manipulation.
She glanced quickly at Sirocco and Cass, and at Jade and Weiss on the ground.
I'm sorry I couldn't send you to the land of happiness and peace.
The summoned scythe instantly sliced through the wall beside him, the wall, now cut into the shape of children's building blocks, slid down, creating a cloud of dust, and Mute escaped.
The two tuners caught up silently and swiftly.
Once he was sure the three of them were far away, Cass moved closer to Sirocco.
"Thanks, Sirocco. Are you... alright?"
"It's nothing, the plan was just moved up."
To be precise, it's a backup plan.
Sirocco brushed the dust off his long hair, removed his armor, scanned with his ring gauge, and was sucked into the warehouse.
He was lying on the ground pretending to be dead and secretly sending messages, but when he saw that Cass couldn't hold on any longer, he quickly threw a barrier item to help him recover.
Sirocco wasn't worried about Cass being chopped into seven or eight pieces.
According to Myute's principle of keeping the body intact, even if it's cut up, she'll help sew it back up and even use tools to treat it.
Kas looked down at the pattern Mutter had laid out on the ground:
Two intertwined branches, half withered and half fresh, with tender green leaves, and in the center a large yellow cake, representing the golden moon.
The symbol of the Fallen Order.
I'd seen Cass before in textbooks.
“…Mute, she’s been discovered by the tuners, she should be caught soon.”
"There's probably no way to do it. It would be good enough if we could just kill him."
"Eh?"
"The black cloth covering her eyes had a cognitive impairment effect, making it impossible to correctly identify her true identity."
"There are even props like this."
"This is nothing. There's a really powerful item called the 'Fearless Ring,' which can completely change how others perceive you. If a goblin were to equip it, no one would find it strange if a goblin went to an izakaya for a drink. You can't get your hands on one without some deep connections."
Cass:........
"Oh, right, Sirocco, Mr. Jade, and Miss Weiss..."
Sirocco walked over to the two lying down, retrieved the antidote from the ring, and fed it to them.
Let them wake up quickly.
If they continue sleeping like this, the spider monsters in the cave will eventually find them. Sirocco has no intention of sharing the barrier items meant to repel the monsters.
"Sirocco, I remember you bought teleportation crystals, do you have any extras?"
"Yes, do you want to share some with them?"
Those two tuners won't come back to help Jade and Weiss out of kindness; they're only responsible for capturing Fallen Order cultists.
This cold, aloof feeling perfectly matches Sirocco's impression of them.
Indeed, the kind-hearted tuner I encountered at the library was one of the few.
"Give them to them, it's okay, we can just buy more."
"Anyway, it's bought with your money, so I don't care."
Sirocco smiled, took out two amber-colored crystals from the ring, and stuffed them into the two men's arms.
Teleportation crystals are expensive and can only take you to places you've already been. Imagine your destination and crush the crystal to activate it.
"Uh...."
Jade, lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes and saw a blurry figure with black hair.
My eyelids feel very heavy.
I wanted to say something, but the overwhelming drowsiness prevented me from speaking.
"Lie down, Jade. The effects of the sleeping pills won't wear off completely for a while. Don't force yourself to get up. We'll stay here until you're fully awake."
So Jade fell asleep again.
Seeing that Sirocco had settled everything, Cass broke out in a cold sweat.
Now we have time to talk about what just happened...
Acting without heeding the signal.
Cass was not good at expressing himself.
Seeing that Myute wanted to kiss Sirocco, my body moved on its own...
This isn't making me look bad about Sirocco...!
Kas was thankful that he was wearing a huge helmet, so no one could see his flushed cheeks.
Sirocco doesn't like boys, and I can't let him find me disgusting anymore.
I'm going to get yelled at by Sirocco... He'll definitely be furious.
"I'm sorry, Sirocco. Please forgive my impulsiveness this time. I promise, only this once..."
Even though Sirocco couldn't see him, Cass still stared intently at Sirocco, his tone very sincere.
This reminded Sirocco of a puppy, whose ears droop down when it makes a mistake.
At that time, only his four senses other than sight were functioning, and he didn't quite understand why Cass suddenly rushed up.
Feeling the touch of Mute's lips, followed by a gust of wind, the clanging of swords clashing, and opening my eyes to see the two locked in fierce combat.
"How could that be? I should be praising you, Cass."
"……Eh?"
"You're really amazing. You held off a Level 32 member of the Fallen Demon Society for over ten seconds. To put it another way, you managed to turn the tables on the evil female cadre. Your potential is limitless."
Sirocco grinned and gave a thumbs-up.
"Sirocco..."
Cass felt a warmth in his heart.
"Besides, you rushed into battle because you were worried about me, right? You thought Myt wanted to kill me?"
".....Um."
Cass's reaction was somewhat hesitant.
Well, Cass is such a passionate guy.
Sirocco understood.
Mute kissed herself nicely, but her next action led Cass to mistakenly believe that Mute wanted to kill him.
"But don't worry, even if Mute wanted to kill me, it would be a swift and painless kill. I won't feel any pain."
"Sirocco, you're as oblivious as ever... talking about death so casually..."
Sirocco was just telling the truth.
The doctrine of Mütter is to allow people to die without pain.
Sirocco gave a wry smile:
"However, I was wrong this time. I didn't explain the complete plan to you, which made you worry. We will cooperate better next time, Cass."
Cass didn't say anything, but coughed lightly, apologetically:
"It's alright, as long as you're comfortable with it, Sirocco. I assure you again, this is the last time."
Sirocco, however, didn't think much of it.
In any case, the outcome of this side quest is no different from the original game storyline.
Mute escaped, and we got a free upgrade and a bunch of resources.
