Chapter 48 Break the Wall in Your Way

I noticed something a bit odd when I woke up. There's some kind of presences outside the wall.

I silently get close to the wall and put my ear on it.

"Weird. It's been three days since the target entered the dungeon. If everything went well, we should have bumped into him by now."

"Fumu. He was acting alone after all, maybe he got done in along the way?"

"Nah, the guy's said to have a tamed monster with him. I don't think he'd go down that easily. Maybe he's already ahead of us even."

"So, what are we gonna do. The target is only a 15 year old kid, we can't exactly go back empty handed now, can we?"

Looks like there's four of them. Three men, one woman. From the tamed monster part, they're most likely coming for me. They're probably planning a stakeout before the boss room here. Never in their wildest dream that their target was already hiding himself here. Now then, what I'd do depend on what they'd do.

"Jamito-sama said it's ok to give the boy a good shaking. Naina, how 'bout we keep a lookout on him here?"

"Let's see, we were rushing here without resting, so that might be a good idea."

"Then we should get ready, Waina. Well, it's just the same as always though. Gramp Kakkuriko, are your waist all right?"

"Sigh, getting old sure is tough. Been awhile since I last stayed inside a dungeon."

OK, got their confession. That Jamito guy sure acts fast, I expect nothing less from a big merchant. I'd love to strike first and end it quick, but they're humans and of the same trade as me. If I don't do this right, I'll be the one at a disadvantage instead.

I should look over again

what hands and magic I can play here.
