Not far north of town, there is a large lake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The lake is one of the town's water sources, and its tributaries have been artificially canalized to become a moat for Lixel.

Near the source of the lake, there is a manor-like complex with an otherworldly aesthetic.

- The Lord's Mansion of Rixel.

After all, in this city-state, real power is firmly in the hands of the Council of the Undead, created by the Lords of Death. Then the city lord is just a character that even the citizens dare to joke about casually.

"Eh, the environment around here is pretty good. That's why we need warriors who work tirelessly!"

I dropped the cart I was pulling and walked to the shore of the lake to take a look.

The water quality of the lake is so clear that you can even see the pebbles on the diving shore from the road on the shore.

I originally thought that since the living conditions of the undead were so low, they should be living in a ruined ancient city full of cobwebs. The city walls have the feeling of being infested by the wind and frost of history, and the hollows that can be seen everywhere are of course better, which is very fantasy world style.

But Rixel shattered my stereotype of the undead in another world.

…… Although it feels a little inappropriate, the undead here have made the city clean to an incredible degree.

Now that I think about it, the undead are basically transformed from living beings.

If you can live in a clean and beautiful place, no one wants to live in a dirty and messy place.

I really don't want to know about this kind of thing that is taken for granted.

It's my mistake to want to find fantasy elements in this different world.,Think about it carefully, the undead are all people who are full without eating.,Lack of anything is not lack of time.,Spend all day long leisurely and have nothing to do.。 Then it is also necessary to repair your living environment.

Just as I was looking out at the lake, a timid voice came from behind me.

“…… Alice always thought it was weird. Uncle Bone, we ...... Do you really want to do this?"

It sounds,It's a werewolf Lori whose voice is trembling.,Feel uneasy.。

I wonder what she's worried about this safe, efficient, and flawless perfect battle plan that I've come up with?

She glanced at me with a very embarrassed expression, and she looked away helplessly.

"Now, since the plan is mainly based on Sister Felicia. Then we don't have to do that, do we?"

Alice, who was a little withdrawn, said this negative emotion again.

"No, no, no, what are you talking about. In my original world, there was a saying that if you want to fool others, you have to fool yourself first. Besides, didn't I do it with you, and you have nothing to be dissatisfied with. ”

"Huh...... Well, but Alice feels ...... It's like you've been fished out of the garbage. ”

After saying this, Alice, who had been teaching her many times, sniffed again.

Then, dressed in dirty, cheap clothes, her cheeks were smeared with pre-prepared black mud, and her right leg was still wrapped in bandages. Sitting on the cart I used to load the garbage, I had a disgusted expression that smelled of myself.

Who else can blame her for self-inflicted suffering, she really can't do anything.

"I warned you a long time ago, are you stupid? Okay, I know, bear with me, it's coming soon. ”

"But Uncle Bones is obviously so suitable...... Even Alice thinks you can be regarded as your true colors. ”

"Otherwise, I'll tell you what I'm thinking right now. I'm seriously thinking about what I can do to throw you into the garbage dump and go back by myself. I apologize to those workers who have quietly maintained the city's sanitation!"

After teaching Alice a lesson, I left the scenery behind and returned to the position where the cart was pulled, and continued to set off towards the back door of the City Lord's Mansion.

――Our goal is the treasure trove of the Castle Lord's Mansion, which may be one of the sealing locations.

Although the position of Lord of Riccell is a very vacant position, without exception, in the case of the vampire prince who has not yet been replaced, each city lord can only be held by the cronies of the lords of death.

Referring to the history of Rixel, the strength of the previous city lords was very strong, which had to make me think about something.

Does the so-called city lord have the responsibility of guarding the treasure vault?

Even if I take 10,000 steps back, even if there is no news about the Nerd Seal in the treasure vault of the City Lord's Mansion, I am very interested to see if there are any valuable things in it, if things go well......

…… Being able to get a lot of money so easily, the thief is addictive.

And then.

If we want to talk about a frontal invasion, we have the strength to not lose to the Death Lord's Ah Shu on our side, so it should be possible to succeed as well. But if Raymond senses the signs of making a big noise, our trip will be considered a failure.

For reasons of hiding one's identity, it is the first condition that you cannot choose to play head-on.

But if you want to unknowingly invade the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion, Ah Shu, who is good at frontal combat, can't help much.

In this way, the first thing to consider is how to invade the city lord's mansion without leaving a trace.

Luckily, because the Arena's Castle Lord election has entered the final stage of the qualifiers, the previous Castle Lord should have stayed there as a special guest in the afternoon, and there is no need to face this big man who is a close confidant of the Death Lord.

The only unexpected factor that prevented Alice, who has an excellent sense of smell and speed, from finding the treasure vault, was only a part of the guards.

But if there is any unexpected event that makes the guards need to be dispatched urgently......

As for us now-

"But Uncle Bone, your plan has never been reliable, alas. If only nothing would happen. ”

"What are you still talking about, to say that I have done everything to prepare, and it is useless to retreat at this time. Also, if you're really thinking about your own safety, don't say anything like planting a flag!"

I dragged a cart of garbage, and Alice, who was sitting on the edge of the cart, to the back door of the City Lord's Mansion a little later than scheduled.

Over there.

"Ahhh Originally, there should be a large group of undead collecting garbage at this time, but no one has appeared around here for two days, could it be that the recent city lord election sacrifice has driven those fools crazy!?"

The man dressed as a butler and looked like he had completely lost the elegance of the vampire clan was anxiously cursing something.

Seeing this, I turned back to the werewolf Lori and gave a defiant look, and then shouted after a dry cough.

"Ahem. Well. Collect the garbage, collect the garbage!"

"Well...... hey, that skeleton soldier over there who looks very professional! Don't go, you're here to collect garbage, it's just a skeleton soldier, good job, follow me into the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion!"

Noticing my voice, the vampire butler stopped in front of us with an excited look on his face that he had finally found his follower.

“…… Wow......"

Alice, behind me, made a strange voice in a tone like, "I didn't expect this to work."

"My lord, do you have any garbage in your house that needs to be recycled? You see, we are inferior undead and orcs, and we dare not enter the manor of the city lord, haven't we always gotten to the door in the past?"

"What nonsense are you talking about until now, tell you to go in-!!"

Seeing me say this with an embarrassed face, the vampire man exuded a faint coercion, revealing a displeased expression and staring coldly at each other.

"Oh well. But this adult, my sister's leg is broken, and I don't feel at ease to leave her at the door. See if you can. ”

"Hmm...... are you kidding me? Skeleton soldiers and werewolves are brother and sister!?"

Looking at Alice who covered her cheeks in confusion without knowing whether it was stage fright or what, the vampire man was full of disbelief.

This guy is such a nuisance.

"Don't look at me like this, but I also have a tail and ears. Alas, the story is quite long, but if you're interested, I can cut it short, and it goes like this, it was a month when the wind was high ......"

"Okay, don't talk about it, who cares if you have any bizarre stories, come in together!"

After waving my hand to stop me, who was aroused by the desire to tell a story, sooner or later, the vampire of retribution urged us to enter the castle lord's mansion.
