Chapter 495: The Risks Exposed!

"I didn't expect that Lady Momo would be traveling with me this time."

"Yes, that's really reassuring."

"It feels like getting paid for nothing."

"Hey, you shouldn't say things like that."

Sitting in the carriage, I could hear the adventurers chatting next to me.

They seemed quite confident about this mission.

After all, with the adamantite-level adventurer "Momo" around, there's nothing to be afraid of.

This lord is a legendary figure who has vanquished undead and vampire monsters.

It is even rumored that the demon "Yadabawo" was once driven away from the capital by him.

"Um, Lord Momo, isn't that beautiful lady always with you?"

right.

Kiritsugu remained unmoved despite hearing that question.

He hired this group of adventurers, also for the purpose of getting information out of them.

If he were only looking for Momo and her companions, his questions during their interactions would seem very suspicious.

However, if he hires other adventurers to ask those questions unintentionally during conversations, he can then listen in.

To ensure the trip wouldn't be too quiet, he deliberately sought out some talkative adventurers.

"Nabe has gone home because she has something important to do."

"Going home? Could it be that Meiji is some noble lady?"

"She might be a princess from some country."

"How enviable."

Amidst the laughter and conversation, everyone was speculating, but Kiritsugu observed it all.

莫莫

The man showed no aversion whatsoever, nor did his tone waver.

He was always a cold, businesslike man, devoid of any emotion.

(Response. No, something still feels off.)

Kiritsugu frowned slightly. Although he felt that the other party's answer was correct, he vaguely felt that he had overlooked something.

But for a moment, I couldn't recall the key issue.

"What's wrong, Lord Tokiomi? You seem confused."

The other person turned around, seemingly noticing his expression, and then asked.

"Haha, could it be that Mr. Tokiomi is also an admirer of Miki?"

"Oh, no wonder they hired him at such a high price."

That's a real shame.

"No, it was just a coincidence. I really didn't have that intention."

The teasing from others continued, and Kiritsugu responded with a helpless expression.

The advantage of this group is obvious: they can easily lend a hand no matter what kind of predicament you find yourself in.

"Oh, it seems a monster has appeared. Please be careful."

The sound of reconnaissance could be heard from ahead, and everyone immediately went on high alert.

Kiritsugu sat alone in the carriage, watching the ogres and goblins without flinching.

These monsters could be easily dealt with by the adventurers alone.

The problem is that

His gaze fell on Momo, but he couldn't confirm what kind of identity the other party belonged to.

Perhaps that beautiful girl named Nabe is the Servant?

He is the Master?

This is not impossible.

I wish I could see the other person's true form.

It is difficult to determine whether someone is an unrelated party or a follower based solely on their physical abilities.

"Hey, this isn't good!"

"what happened?"

But his expectations still brought trouble. While passing through a canyon, they were besieged by a horde of monsters.

There was even a centaur-like monster among them.

"A beast with a four-legged body."

"Under normal circumstances, we probably would have to run away, right?"

Swallowing hard, one of the adventurers exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the monster.

That was a monster powerful enough to give even a bronze-level adventure team a hard time; even their gold and silver medal-level teams probably wouldn't be enough to withstand a single burst of its fire.

"Fortunately, Mr. Tokiomi had the foresight."

Full of confidence, they showed no fear and then all looked at the tall figure.

Their team includes top-tier Steel-level adventurers!

"Ow!!"

The battle ended faster than anyone expected; before they could even see what was happening, they saw the decapitated corpse.

"Amazing"

"Is this the power of the Steel-grade?"

"As expected of Lord Momo."

That giant sword being wielded must have been incredibly heavy.

Even so, they did not witness the process taking place.

"Well"

Kiritsugu feigned surprise, just like everyone else, but then became even more suspicious.

Although the other party acted very naturally, he felt that he could not let his guard down.

"!"

Noticing Momo's gaze, Kiritsugu remained calm.

As the "employer," he has the initiative to test the waters.

But as evening fell, Kiritsugu discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

"Is everyone alright?!"

"Oh, that's strange. Could it be that the mountain road has collapsed?"

"It really felt like I took a shower."

The journey was disrupted by a sudden torrent of water in a valley, and the group was swept away and thrown into disarray.

Although no one was injured, everyone's clothes were undoubtedly soaked.

In this low temperature, a chill also seeps in.

"As expected, there was a problem with the mountain road, so the lake water flowed down. What bad luck."

"Hmm, we can't move forward like this."

The return of the scouts left everyone watching.

"Let's find a place to rest, and we can start a fire to dry ourselves off."

"Mr. Tokiomi, is this alright?"

"Ah, that's it."

Upon hearing Momo's words, Kiritsugu was unable to refuse.

Although it's unknown whether this water flow was man-made, the reason is definitely not that simple.

The opponent should be making their move now, their goal being to find out if there are any Command Seals on the back of my hand.
