Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 227.2
The young storekeeper rushed out of the room in response to Gran’s angry yelling.
“…Tch. Useless assassins.”
They paid a lot of money to hire them, but it seems they let the thieves get in. However, the assassins have never let a thief through before. They must have had military dogs prepared by them, but how did they get past them?
“…Tch.”
Gran clicks his tongue again and gets up from the sofa.
The report cannot be taken out. It is unclear how large the thieves are, but fortunately, it is the end of the fiscal year, so almost all the adventurers are gathered in the mansion.
It is impressive how they sneaked in, but no matter how good the thieves are at concealment, there is no way they can escape against dozens of adventurers and assassins. Thinking this, Gran heads to the basement himself, where a dozen or so adventurers who were already in the mansion gathered under the stairs at the entrance to the basement. Among them, he finds a middle-aged adventurer who he has been friends with since his youth and who he brought along to be the leader of the adventurers, and calls out to his back.
“Cardis! What are you doing!? Hurry up and catch the bandits!”
“…Master, Jeff and the others are in there now. We can’t let everyone in.”
“I, I see…”
Gran nodded to his friend’s exasperated tone.
Jeff and his friends are young, but they have reached rank 4. They are a bit picky about money, but once they have it, they act more proactively than other adventurers.
He probably jumped in first to make a mark. The moment he looked towards the entrance, thinking that he would come out soon, a shadow that looked like Jeff appeared in the darkness.
“Oh, it’s Jeff! What happened to the bandits!?”
As Gran was about to walk over to him, Cardis suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder and stopped him.
“Master, stand back!!”
Cardis stepped forward to protect Gran. At that moment, a pitch-black shadow that resembled Jeff leapt out and ran, and Cardis immediately slashed it with his one-handed sword.
“What!?”
The shadow dispersed with a single blow. A momentary gap was created. At the same time, a cloaked bandit leapt out from the basement, and the adventurers instantly fought back, throwing knives. However, several of the knives were wrapped up in the bandit’s discarded and spread-out cloak, and the throwing knives that broke through the other side of the cloak were thrust into the eyebrows of the two unguarded adventurers.
“Protect Master!”
Cardis ordered to the confused adventurers. However, the spread-out cloak fell to the ground, and the figure of the bandit that appeared from the other side drew everyone’s attention instantly.
“… A woman?”
Gran’s voice was heard. There was a young girl wearing leather armor that looked like a black dress.
Pink-gold hair. Her features were still childish, but she was still beautiful.
However… she was not the least bit scared in front of all these enemies, and her “atmospheric posture” of narrowing her eyes and standing calmly made some of the adventurers gasp.

“… Woman. What happened to Jeff and the others?”
Cardis asked warily, looking at his companions who had been killed instantly, and the girl quietly muttered, keeping everyone in her field of vision.
“There’s no reason to keep them alive.”
“–!”
At that moment, Cardis, who had a long history of combat, understood.
The girl in front of him was not a thief who had been found sneaking in, nor a poor rabbit caught in a trap. Her cold gaze, as if counting the corpses, made Cardis realize that this girl was a “monster” who had come to kill them.
“Enemy attack!!”
She raised her voice as loud as she could to call the assassins outside.
