Chapter 91.2

CHAPTER 91: SKY DENIZENS (PART 2)

She had heard the term before, but she could not remember what it meant. But it was clear that the man in long clothes was related to them, and from Arlon’s actions she understood he was not their enemy, so after a short delay she also appeared behind the group.The man looked at the four who just entered the room, his gaze gelid as he appeared to be measuring who they were.

「You don’t look like regular adventurers though…who are you?」

He believed them a bit, easing his wariness somewhat as he pointed the crossbow away and towards the ceiling. Though his left hand still gripped the thin sword ready for any eventuality. Arlon took one step forward, looking around the room before pointing at one of the bodies lying at the feet of the man.

「Those are from Chimera, right?」「…Yes, they are.」

The man looked down, seeing the bloodstained face of the dead man, his eyes filled with resentment, hatred and anger; a mix of all negative feelings as he spat out with a voice full of scorn.

(So my guess was correct.)

Hearing that, Arlon felt somewhat disappointed, though he did not show it in his expression. Their objective was to capture Chimera Clauzen’s members alive, but that was impossible now that they were in that state.

「You asked who we are, and in short we’re here to capture these people. That should tell you enough.」

Arlon made no efforts to conceal his annoyance, sighing as he wished that at least one of them was still alive enough.Outside interference being present during the mission had been accounted for, and seeing the man’s expression, as well as the fact he was part of the Sky Denizens, made it easy to guess why he was there. But due to the importance of the mission, which could be said was the most important one in the Fifty Bells’ history, made Arlon’s reaction understandable.But the man did not seem to be bothered by Arlon’s annoyed voice, simply thinking for a short moment.

「…Ah, I see. You’re from the Fifty Bells.」

Having understood where the group of four came from, the man sheathed his sword and relaxed his stance.They had different means, but both organizations had the same objective. That was the relationship between that man and the Fifty Bells.Seeing all the hostility vanish from the man, Arlon stepped deeper into the room while Hebi and Sasori followed behind him.

(What a monumental sight…)

Mira looked at all the corpses on the ground, covered in blood and with parts completely burned off, their faces contorted in anguish, before looking away frowning. She had figured she would eventually see human corpses when she decided to join the fight against Chimera, but she had never expected the first account would be this gruesome sight.

「Well, I guess our mission has failed.」

Arlon had checked each of the corpses in hopes there was a slim chance one would still be alive, but eventually he had to resign himself as he glared at the man.

「Well, I’m sorry for that.」

The man in long clothes apologized, though his voice carried no hint of remorse as he tried to walk past them to the exit.

「Oh right, you can have this as my apology as well, there’s something those bastards told me.」

Just when he was about to step out of the room, the man stood still, still facing away from the group as he spoke.

「Their main base is somewhere in Sentopolly, apparently.」

With those last words, he silently left the place like a gust of wind. The room was left mostly silent, except for a disturbance in the air that sounded like a murmur. But to Mira that soft wind seemed to carry a sorrowful voice.

「That’s quite vague information. But well, at least it’s better than nothing.」

Arlon shook his head in disappointment, but he still took a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote down the newly gained information.

「We would’ve gotten a more precise location if we captured them alive after all…」

Sasori looked around, muttering in a low voice before squatting next to one of the bodies.

「We can’t go back empty-handed, so let’s see if we can get anything else here.」「Yeah, things might look bad but if we search carefully we might still find something useful.」

Returning the paper to his pocket, Arlon was of the same mind and began searching through one of the nearby bodies.

「I’ll go search inside.」

Hebi decided two people was enough to search the bodies, so she went to the control room located further inside the floor.

「I’ll help you.」

After that their conversation went silent, mostly out of prudence, and the two went back to searching through the control room.
