Twenty minutes later, the three of us have thoroughly emptied the basements. After knocking out the two survivors and tying them up, we headed back up to the weapon shop.

Battle concluded.

Side Questline: Broken Doll 2nd Quest [Completed] New information received. Please read the documents.

The moment I arrived on the first floor, the quest completion window popped up. Although we had managed to gather a lot of documents earlier, but theres far too many of them. Looks like we have to find a place to sort them out.

Dale, did anything happen earlier? Absolutely nothing happened~

Dale waved his hands. But after pausing for a moment, a message was sent to me. Other than a new quest called Broken Doll.

Thats the quest Im working on. In any case, the initial phase has been completed.

Then, I turned to look at Gabriel and Oyado.

Now that we have found the documents, we should find a place to sort them out.

According to the guy downstairs, this place is just a warehouse And he did not lie at all. We did realize it was just a warehouse downstairs. After all, even after emptying out the place, we did not find a single hidden door.

Youre right. Then, lets find a safe place and take a look at the documents.

Gabriel nodded and said.

Dale, then we will have to count on you to discover the scene after this. Gabriel, please wake that person up a minute later, then we will take our leave first.

Understood.

After saying that, Gabriel threw another white ball at the guys motionless body. Alright, let us go. Im counting on you.

Un~ Dont worry~

Dale made an okay gesture.

Big brother, I have confirmed that theres no one outside. Oyado suddenly appeared silently beside me and said.

Un, then lets go.

After saying that, we walked directly out of the shop, and headed towards the inn nearby.

Un?

The moment we headed out, I saw a white name flash at the roof the building in front of us. Then, he quickly sped towards the direction opposite from us.

Oyado!

I got it, big brother!

Oyados figure disappeared in a flash as she chased after the target. The two names disappeared into the night sky in an instant.

Its a wonder you were actually able to see him. I didnt notice at all.

Looking towards Oyado who was chasing after the target, Gabriel laughed and said.

It was just a coincidence. But But?

It did not look human.

Oh? That what was that thing? That was

Although it was just an instant, but I did clearly see a portion of the name. Undead Doll, Yoei!

Boss, give us a room.

Hearing my words, the boss sitting at counter raised his head and looked at us. A swordsman whose face is covered entirely in soot, and a cleric in a clean white

robe. That is probably what hes depicting us as right now.

Good work out there. Its 5 silvers per night, and 6 silvers if you want breakfast. Hows business?

I placed 5 silvers on the table, and the boss slid the key across the table as he took

the money.

Its good enough to live on. How about you guys? The same as usual.

Is that so Looks like its been too peaceful recently. Isnt peaceful good?

Are you new here, little brother? Well, youre indeed a new face. Once war

begins, you will know. This depressing situation will end. Is that so

I laughed and nodded.

I will know when the time comes, I guess

After entering the room, Gabriel immediately set up a soundproof barrier. Looks like the people now have forgotten the brutality of war. Theyre actually

beginning to look forward to war.

Probably because they believe that its best to die rather than to live lazily, I guess?

But once youre dead, you wont have any more chances, you know~ Everyone has their own ideals.

I kind of feel that youre rather easygoing. At first, I thought you were a fool too kind for his own good, but then I realized you were more of a schemer, but now I completely dont know what its in your mind at all.

I laughed, and said.

Just treat me as a fool, because I dont know what Im thinking about either. Probably, Im simply doing things based on my gut feelings.

Gut feelings huh Just how then did you come up with these gut feelings? It would be good if I knew Oh, Oyado. Youre back?

Just when I was about to continue, Oyado pushed open the window, flipped into

the room, and landed right beside me.

Umm Im sorry That guys presence disappeared in an instant, and then Well~ Its alright.

I stroked her head, and said.

That guy isnt human. Hes a doll. I took out a doll out from the ring.

Its basically something like this. So if the target were to cut off his connection in

an instant, his presence would completely disappear, so naturally, he wouldnt be caught.

But I didnt see the controller at all.

Although Im not entirely sure, but they seem to have developed a technique to separate the soul from a humans physical body, so

What!?

Gabriel hurriedly walked towards me, and then stared directly into my eyes.

Is what you said true? Those bastards had already finished developing that technique!? Then what about the main body!? What would happen to the main body!?

Eh eh? Umm, can you please calm down? Ah, ahem.

Gabriel slowly pulled a slight distance away. He paused for a moment, and then

asked. So

The main body will be kept in a vessel. I encountered one in the past, and If I

recall correctly, that doll earlier was one of that persons clones. Is that so

Gabriel went into deep thoughts for a moment, before voicing out.

I believe a regular guild wont accept a request like this. But, if possible, mind if I ask if you could help me steal a set of similar equipment?

I looked at him weirdly.

As someone whose body had already been modified, even if he could regenerate infinitely, does it actually have a limit as well? Is he trying to find a way out for his future?

Hes really pitiful

Its not for me. Rather Its to prepare it for someone else. Someone else? Is he a comrade of yours?

Un a comrade. No problem.

I did a peace gesture and said.

If its for a comrade, then its justice~
