Chapter 416 – #4-5 Hero in the Trap (2)
… … …
… …
…
It’s already past midnight, it’s an ambitious dawn.
Spades and Clubs, the heroes of the 7th division, are in an unpopulated 【closed area】.
I used a motorcycle until the beginning of this street, but since it makes a sound, I park it in a place far away from the destination and approach it carefully on foot.
“Club, can you see something?”
“Hmm… At this stage, I can’t see anything yet as long as I expand my field of view a little farther. There are no animals nearby that I can interact with.”
“Okay. Let’s send the cats as soon as they arrive.”
In both hands of the club, there is a pet carrier containing meowing cats.
In order to use the club’s magic, [Clairvoyance], You need the eyes of others, including animals.
Cats are the most suitable for that magic, so they brought them like this.
However, a special magnetic field is faintly flowing in the 【closed area】, and the cats inside the carrier are vigilant in various ways, such as gnashing their teeth, perhaps due to its influence.
The effect on the body has not been revealed yet, and you cannot feel this magnetic field unless you use a tool, but… However, animals with sensitive senses seem to be able to feel something.
That’s why even those common rats hardly exist in this area…
“Then let’s keep going. Since there doesn’t seem to be anyone around yet, it’s okay if you speed up a bit and move.”
“All right.”
The two of them continue on through the ruined street without a single light.

A mission given from the top of the association.
It was to attack the trading place of a certain villain organization and the overseas mafia.
I know the existence of the villain organization participating in the deal, but I do not know the whereabouts of the mafia, so I have to arrest the mafia member directly at the transaction site.
If the opponent is a villain whose human rights are not guaranteed, it will not be a problem even if they are killed, but if they are mafia, they are human beings, not awakened people.
It seems to be a little more difficult than normal missions in that you have to arrest them without killing them.
‘There are three people on the Villain side who are making a deal.’
‘The Mafia doesn’t know the exact number, but they say they expect it to be over 20 people.’
The mafia is ambiguous, but I received quite detailed information about other things.
In the association, there are those who have the ability of [Prophecy], And in addition to that, there are excellent personnel from the [Intelligence Department].
Perhaps it was the help of such competent people, the information was strangely detailed.
Since there was such detailed information, it would have been possible to allocate only two people like this.
If the information had been lacking even a little bit, Captain Rahe would have made the cut and organized the personnel more safely.
“… There are no gaps. I think it will be difficult to navigate any longer with just my cat.”
And, a location about 100m away from the destination.
The club, which was using a cat to check the situation at the destination in a suitable abandoned building, said as if it had given up.
The club uses magic to communicate with pre-prepared animals or people and share their senses.
【Sympathy Magic】 or 【Synchronization Magic】.
It is a very excellent ability to freely grasp the situation remotely by sharing vision or hearing with multiple beings at once, but if you put something like a closed space or closed door in front of you, most animals will be in trouble because they cannot enter it.
Just like right now.
“There are no open doors or windows. I thought there might be a dog hole, but there isn’t any.”
“In the case of the windows, all of them are covered with iron plates. It seems impossible for a cat to break in… It would be impossible to break the window and rush in.”
Her club immediately relayed her findings through the eyes of a cat.
First of all, I found footprints that seemed to have appeared recently, and I figured out that someone was using that building.
And it was also confirmed that there were only two passages that could enter and exit, whether it was a countermeasure against intruders.
This made it difficult to sneak in, but at the same time it made it difficult for the guys inside to escape.
‘How will we do it.’
In many ways, not being able to know the situation inside.
For now, it might be better to investigate more carefully and then rush in.
‘It’s a little bit until the tangent time. I still have time to investigate, but…’
In the detailed preliminary information about the mission that came down from above, even the detailed time of this contact was written.
If you believe that information, there is still plenty of room left.
No need to worry.
Safety first.
Knocking on the stone bridge before crossing it is what Captain Rahe always asks for.
Spade tried to instruct the club to continue the investigation.
But the words that came out of his mouth were completely different.
* ***
『Those inexperienced heroes That was foolish.And he was impatient.”
『The senior hero suggested it. ‘Rather than being safe, let’s go in a risky but efficient way’.”
『Like that, the two infiltrated into the enemy’s lair without being careful.』
* ***
“Club, let’s go and investigate. If we go by ourselves, we might be able to use routes that cats can’t go.”
Spade was taken aback by the words coming out of her own mouth.
Right now, safety is a little more important, and I think we should continue the investigation using the cat.
Why did the mouth move so freely?
‘No… Am I right? Is this more correct?’
However, the embarrassment quickly subsided, and Spade corrected the accident again.
She is right about what she says now. It seems right.
Why did you try to make it safe?
『High Risk High Return』.
Why did I turn away from that sweet word and try to make an easy choice like ‘safety first’?
“Let’s move on, Club. Huh? What’s the matter?”
“Ah… No. No. I feel a little strange… But it’s really nothing. Let’s move, Spade-senpai.”
“… Okay.”
The club, which had been blank for a while, hurriedly waved its hands and stood up.
Spade also stood up without delay and came out of the building where she was hiding.
As she came out of the building and thought about it, she realized that she had forgotten to even contact the captain.
Right now, Captain Rahe should be waiting for a call from the two in the base’s situation room.
‘Um… It’s a hunch, but I don’t think it will take long.’
‘It’s kind of annoying to make Captain Rahe uncomfortable, so let’s finish it quickly and post a success report.’
Weird.
Weird.
Weird.
Ignoring the policy of the 7th division, ‘safety first’, which Captain Rahe always emphasizes.
Not only that, but Spade, who always proceeded according to FM, just passed over the contact and report according to the manual.
However, the two do not even realize that it is strange.
There was no way for the two of them to know that all of this was going according to the ‘scenario’ someone had written.

Kiyiyiyi
A door that opens carelessly.
And the inside of the dark building was revealed.
The inside of the building looked like an old ruin that matched the exterior.
The windows are blocked, so there is no way the moonlight can come in.
Instead, there were cheap light bulbs hanging here and there, so it was barely possible to see.
“Senior Spade. Shall we send the cats?”
“… No, let’s not send it.”
What are you talking about?
Have to send
Cats are bright at night and rarely make footsteps.
It is very useful for covert action in a dark place like this.
—However, the words that came out of your mouthCompletely different contentAm.
“While manipulating the cat, Club you become defenseless. In case of emergency, the reaction is delayed.
… First of all, let’s hide secretly and find a point where you can snipe the opponent. Only manipulate cats to the extent that they follow you from behind. Can you?”
“Yes, senior.”
Like that, the two cautiously proceeded through the darkness.
Cats for exploration are carefully following the two.
Spades held a knife in one hand, and clubs held a pistol in both hands, vigilantly guarding their surroundings.
Beat,As I stepped on the debris that fell to the floor, a sound that could not be hidden leaked out.
I tried to proceed as carefully as possible, but the field of view was narrow and dark, and the floor was full of debris or scattered materials, making it very difficult to proceed quietly.
There are no popular ones nearby yet.
Even if you make a sound like this, no one will notice.
In response to that fact, Spade felt his heart relax without even realizing it.
Since when, I don’t even care about making footsteps Beat beat beat beat beatHave moved on
Her club following her is likewise boldly following her.
‘What…’
‘Have I always been this careless… ?’
It wasn’t long before such a question came to mind, and like the countless questions that have popped up until now, that question also quickly subsided and disappeared.
As we progressed like that, it didn’t take long until the stairs came out.
Should I go up or go down?
At that time, it seemed as if a faint voice came from somewhere.
The sound came from the basement.
“Senior, from below… !”
“… Okay. Under.”
Spades glanced at her up the stairs, and she led them down the stairs.
I can’t hear your voice now
From the beginning, right up until just before, I had my senses sharp enough and paid attention, but I couldn’t hear any sound.
But why did I hear a sound just a moment ago, just at the right time when I was thinking about where to go?
Whether it was simply luck or whether there were other factors, it is unknown.

『Inexperienced heroes carelessly set foot in the space of cunning villains.』
『If he had been a little more experienced and skillful hero, he could have been a little more careful.』
『Careless and inexperienced, the fact of the break-in was already known from the moment they stepped into the building, and the villains were fully prepared to meet the two.』
『The inexperienced heroes didn’t know that at all, and just hastily headed underground, confident of victory.』
『Without expecting what kind of trap is there.』
『By this carelessness, the future of the two How will you fall into the abyss?Without knowing.”
『Yes.』
『The two of them are like that, Villain’s——』
