Twenty minutes later, our group completely cleared out the basement and after knocking out and tying up the two living guys downstairs, we left the weapon shop directly from the stairs.

Side mission: Broken Humanoid

Mission 2 completed

Received data files, please read.

Just as we arrived on the first floor, the completion notification for the mission popped up. Although we obtained a lot of data just now, there is a lot of text to go through, so it seems we need to find a place to organize it.

"Dell, what just happened?"

"Nothing at all~"

Dell waved his hand, but paused momentarily as a message came through.

"There is another mission called 'Broken Humanoid'."

"That's my mission. Anyway, the initial phase is complete."

Then I turned to Gabrielle and Oyado.

"Now that we have found the data, let's find a place to review it. According to the people down there, this is just a warehouse... and they were telling the truth because we did find a warehouse down there. Besides, we didn't see any secret doors when we cleared it out."

"True, let's find a safe place to sit and read."

Gabrielle nodded as well.

"Dell, I'll rely on you to 'discover' the scene. Gabrielle, please wake up that guy in a minute. Let's go ahead."

"Understood."

After speaking, Gabrielle threw a white ball onto the guy who was still immobilized on the ground.

"Alright, let's go. We're counting on you here."

"Don't worry~"

Dell made a reassuring gesture.

"Brother, I confirmed that there is no one outside."

Oyado suddenly appeared silently by my side and spoke.

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, we walked out through the front door and headed towards a nearby inn.

"Hmm?"

Just as we were about to leave, I saw a white name flash on the opposite rooftop, then quickly dash in the opposite direction from us.

"Oyado!"

"Got it, Brother!"

Oyado's figure flashed as she chased after, and the names of both of them disappeared in an instant in the night sky.

"I can't believe you actually noticed, I didn't even pay attention."

Watching Oyado chase after them, Gabrielle smiled and said.

"It was just a coincidence, but..."

"But what?"

"It seems that it's not human."

"Oh? Then what is it?"

"It is..."

Although I only saw a glimpse, I still managed to recognize a part of the name.

"Undead Humanoid·Yuyi!"

"Boss, we need a room."

Upon hearing my words, the old man sitting behind the counter looked up at us.

A swordsman covered in grime and a priest wearing a faded white robe, this was probably the sight he saw.

"Well, you've worked hard. It's 5 silver coins per night, and 6 if you want breakfast."

"How's business?"

I placed five silver coins on the table as the boss handed over the key and collected the money.

"It's going alright. And you?"

"Same as always."

"I see... seems like it's been too peaceful lately."

"Is peace not a good thing?"

"You must be new around here. Well, you'll find out once the war starts. This kind of stagnation won't last."

"Is that so?"

I nodded with a smile.

"We'll see when the time comes..."

Inside the room, Gabrielle immediately cast a soundproofing spell.

"It seems people have forgotten how cruel war can be. They're starting to look forward to it."

"I guess they think it's better to scrape by than to be dead."

"But once you're dead, you lose all chances."

"Everyone has their own aspirations."

"Surprisingly, you seem to have a broad perspective. At first, I thought you were a kind-hearted idiot, but later I realized you were more like a conspirator. But now, I completely don't understand what you're thinking."

"..."

I smiled and said,

"Just think of me as an idiot, because I don't even know what I'm thinking. I guess I just act based on my intuition."

"Intuition...how do you come up with such intuition?"

"If only I could remember... Oh, Oyado, you're back?"

As I was speaking, Oyado pushed open the window and flipped into the room, landing beside us.

"Um...sorry...that guy suddenly lost consciousness and..."

"Well~, it's alright."

I patted her head and said,

"That guy isn't human, that's a humanoid."

I took out a humanoid from a ring.

"It's this thing, so if the operator suddenly cuts off the control, there won't be any signs of life and it naturally can't be caught."

"But...I didn't see the operator either."

"Although not very clear, it seems that they have developed a technology to separate the soul from the body, so..."

"What!"

Gabriel walked up to me abruptly and stared at me sternly.

"Are you telling the truth? Have they really developed that technology! What about the noumenon? What will happen to the noumenon?"

"Uh...uh? Um, can you please calm down?"

"Ah, cough, cough."

Gabriel took a step back, paused for a moment, then asked,

"So..."

"The noumenon will be contained in a container. I happened to encounter one before, and...if I'm not mistaken, the humanoid that just appeared was a clone of the one I saw before."

"I see..."

Gabriel pondered for a moment, then said,

"Ordinary guilds...wouldn't accept such requests, but if possible, could you help me steal a similar set of equipment?"

"..."

I looked at him with curiosity.

As someone who has already undergone body modification, does he also have limits even with infinite regeneration? Is he searching for a way out for his own future?

That's really pitiful...

"I won't use it myself, it's just...to prepare for someone else."

"Someone else? A comrade?"

"Yeah...a comrade."

"No problem."

I made the gesture of love and peace and said,

"For a comrade, anything is righteous~"
