The Necromancers
Ch. 16:First Mission of Reita

Hmmmm....

Opening my eyes, I saw the person next door, Shilph, whose naked body was covered by a bed blanket.

Waking up from sleep, I just realized that last night I had been acting profanely towards him.

Even though she was Stephani, I didn't know how to explain it to Shilph so I didn't wake her up as much as I could but just let her fall asleep in bed.

Looking out the window, it was very crowded in the morning.

The activities of the townspeople went as smoothly as ever without any of them panicking over what happened last night.

That nice.

If they realize that we are acting at night as The Necromancer, they must think we are the chosen ones of the demons who intend revenge for the death of their other demon comrades.

Well, I guess that scenario happened later so I wasn't surprised at all.

•••••

In the town square that was crowded with people, the two people were walking together.

"Are we going to do something in the morning, Brother Regard?"

"Yes. That's why I'm calling you to get on the move right away after taking a shower and changing your clothes."

Explaining what the two of them were going to do, Reita and Regard sat down for a moment while enjoying the warmth of the quiet morning sun that was all around them

The bustling atmosphere, the hustle and bustle that was happening all around, as well as the footsteps that sounded in their ears from outside of the different paths made them ignore everything.

Elsewhere, Friya who had just woken up from sleep did not see Shilphonia in her room.

Where the hell's he going? Is he walking with Regard?

According to him, it was only natural that Shilphonia would go for a walk with Regard to enjoy the atmosphere in the city before they continued the mission in the Adventurers Guild later on.

"alright. Time to take a shower first."

Stretching her body up, Friya decided to exit the room in her nightgown to rush to the public bath provided by the inn. The public bath is not a mixed bath but a separation bath between male and female baths that are next to each other.

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

Just as Friya came out of her room with the clothes she was carrying and the towel on her clothes, she accidentally saw Shilphonia coming out of Regard's room.

"August, Friya. Is there something?"

"Nothing."

Overcoming her shock in her incorrect estimation, Friya calmly walked down the stairs towards the ground floor.

Shilphonia who noticed Friya's calm demeanor, heaved a sigh of relief at the ignorance she had committed towards her without asking her anything.

I'm sure he must have suspected me.

Holding her head, Shilphonia regrets that all this was because she made a pact with Stephani.

Not only did she lose her virginity by Regard, Shilphonia also had to meet inadvertently with Friya who would ask Regard directly.

It would be bad if he said it honestly.

Deciding to return to his room next door, Shilphonia rushed to the bath after preparing the clothes and towels provided at the inn.

Inside the Adventurers Guild Hall, Regard and Reita were sitting opposite each other while enjoying the warm tea served by the servants provided in the Guild.

"Hey, did you know that Glen and his comrades are dead?"

"really?"

"Yes. I heard the news that he met the Dark Knight Hero at night so his dead body which left no bones makes him die horribly."

In one of the groups, rumors about the death of Glen's group spread widely to the other adventurer groups.

Not only the news about Glen's group that has died, other groups also explain that almost of the adventurers in Colorful Adventure fared the same as Glen's group, the other group also explained that almost of the adventurers in Colorful Adventure fared the same fate as Glen's group, he was found dead with dried blood in terrible and frightening conditions.

"More names are written near the bodies."

"Yes. If it's not wrong, the Royal Knights call it The Necromancer."

"....."

Gazing towards Reita, Reita turned her gaze away from Regard.

He knew very well that his actions were really too late in leaving a trace that made the gaze from him could be clearly felt by Reita. That was why he turned his gaze away from Regard to avoid his gaze directly.

"Good job, Reita."

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Sipping tea in his cup, Regard sighed because the delicious tea along with the fragrant aroma served really pamper him in the morning.

"I'm sure they must have been shocked at what we did last night."

"Yes, you're right, Brother Regard."

Smiling at what they had done together at night, they were sure that the Royal Knights were surprised by a new case apart from the Dark Knight Hero that had been around for a long time.

Regard's mind said that Veru would come asking him this directly so he just hoped not to meet him as quickly as possible in order to avoid him from conspiring from the public.

"alright. Let's take the mission we want."

"Yes, let's do it."

Rushing up from the seats, they walked to the mission board provided today.

Paying close attention, Regard and Reita chose an easy mission so they wouldn't look flashy in today's mission. Because Regard wanted to hide his true identity as a Necromancer, Reita understood his desire so he followed his words and tried to choose the usual mission.

"How about we pick this one?"

"It's..."

"Is it too difficult for our level?"

"No, it's suitable for us to do."

Smiling at his reply, Regard and Reita walked up to the guild receptionist to clarify that this mission had not been taken by anyone. Finished being clarified by the guild receptionist through the stamp, the two of them decided to leave the Adventurer Guild heading to the location where they were going.

The Regard POV

Everyone gathered in my room.

"Where are we going, Regard?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Putting a piece of paper on the table, Friya picked it up and read it. At his side was Shilph who was curious about the mission sheet, he approached Friya and read it.

"How's it?"

"Looks good."

"Yes, we won't look flashy if we finish the mission this time."

Sure do. We won't be flashy just because of the mission I chose.

The mission taken earlier with Reita was not a difficult mission but an easy one. The mission required us to evacuate the villagers to move to a nearby town before the monsters attacked.

"Is it just us?"

"Yes. But in order to avoid the possibility of that happening, I want us to keep our abilities and strengths a secret."

"All right."

It would be very troublesome if there were other adventurers who took part in the mission with us.

Moreover, this mission is not only devoted to us, novice adventurers who will investigate the villagers to move to the nearest city, he said, but there is another possibility that we will meet other adventurers who will overcome the rampage of the horde of monsters.

Well, don't rule out the possibility that that's what's going to happen.

"alright. Let's go now."

"Yes." Yeah."

"certain."

Smiling at them, me and the others decided to leave the inn and Farihiora City for a while during our adventurous mission.

•••••

In Juria Village, the entire adventurer gathered.

"It's a lot of ya."

"Yes." Yeah."

Most of the gathered adventurers wore full armor all over their bodies, weapons that looked stronger, as well as other more complete equipment they could see.

"Different from them...."

Turning his gaze in a different direction, a long blue-haired girl could only be astonished over the division of different places.

The proof is seen from different adventurers who are a little away from adventurers with complete equipment, complete armor they wear, as well as weapons that look expensive, expensive, looks like a makeshift adventurer without attach importance to complete equipment and weapons that look expensive.

"Let's get close to them."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Sore, Friends."

"Sore."

Several adventurers who were with his group returned greetings from the group of men who had just arrived.

The gazes of their originally busy eyes shifted them to the group that had just greeted them, they smiled at the arrival of the new group.

"Are we bothering you?"

"where possible. Precisely we are very happy with the presence of a new adventurer group like you."

"Hey, are we going to face the devil?"

"No, we're just dealing with a herd of ordinary monsters whose abilities are slightly higher than those of low-level monsters."

In the group of men who had just joined them, the two girls in his group members Shilphonia and Reita had already started to speak openly against them.

Those who seemed enthusiastic to answer it only made Regard smile at their humble attitude, especially Shilphonia who was easily willing to socialize against them even though they were from the human race.

"Hey Regard, may I speak with you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"As for Shilphonia, did you do anything to her?"

"What do you mean, Friya?"

"My point is you didn't do any profanity to her, did you?"

"No, I can't do it."

Friya who heard it, fell silent and noticed the movements of the actions of Regard.

Regard certainly understands the attitude of Friya who secretly observes it because so far he has experienced in observing target criminals so it is natural that Regard is able to lie and remain calm without looking panicked which is able to eliminate friya's suspicions against him.

"Is there any more?"

"Nothing."

Retreating from the side of Regard, Friya was still a little dreamy.

For Regard, the secret should not be known by anyone. The secret that she had given up her virginity for Shilphonia, and Shilphonia who had lost her virginity for herself was really very difficult to tell anyone.

Moreover, Regard has begun to understand a little about Shilphonia's shy attitude and does not want to admit it like the nature of tsundere.

That is why Regard is careful not to be mistaken in saying and acting which can cause Shilphonia to be angry and hate her.

"By the way, sir, are you here with the group you have to complete the same mission as us?"

"Yes, that's right."

Noticing and speaking to one of the men who approached him, Regard answered him easily.

As long as the person was at the same level as his adventurer level, Regard was confident that his socialization ability would be fine as long as they were kind and friendly people towards him.

"Why are there so many adventurers of the Colorful Adventure level?"

"Ah.. they joined in because they were paid dearly by the mission makers to hunt down the monsters that would attack us while investigating the villagers."

"Are those monsters a monster that has a strong sense and hunting instinct?"

"Eitherway. There's a chance they're one of them, but we have to be careful not to panic later."

"You're right."

While noticing a group of adventurers far away from them were talking with his comrades, Regard and the man nearby exchanged talks for him to know about the mission this time around.

Unfortunately, his hopes were not answered. Instead of getting information on the monsters they would avoid, the men nearby actually knew absolutely nothing about the monsters they would avoid.

In other words, Regard had to find his way through him when he met the monster.
