Chapter 41

★★★★★★★★★★

"Kukuku, it seems he's gone..."

Red, hidden in the darkness, let out a laugh.

"But you're a bad one, thinking of such a thing. To send him in alone, of all things..."

Walter, looking ahead, wore a lecherous smile. He had already told Tim to blend into the darkness and reduce their numbers.

He had also explained that if someone failed, he would send a signal to merge with Maron and Gloria.

"That's a bit harsh, isn't it? There could be some kind of accident that prevents him from going in, right?"

Red, unashamed, responded to Walter's words.

"Despite saying that, you didn't cause any accidents, did you?"

Walter pointed out to Red, who was perfectly fine.

"Well, I accidentally dropped my weapon. I was just late because I was looking for it."

Red said this and picked up the weapon from the ground.

"You're even more evil than I am, Walter. The number of Lesser Dragons was twice what was originally requested, right? Even I wouldn't come out unscathed if I went in alone in such a situation."

"Kukuku, the original request was for that number. ...Yeah, I forgot to tell you about this. It happens, right? Communication errors and all that."

In fact, the discrepancy between the request and the number was not Walter's fault. He knew this and was trying to use it to his advantage.

"If he hadn't tried to attack our party members, he wouldn't be in this situation."

Red clenched his teeth in frustration. Not only was Gloria trying to leave the party, but Maron was also starting to show interest in Tim.

Although she hadn't said anything yet, if Tim continued to grow, Maron might also decide to leave.

"...Let's go soon. If we wait too long, the weak Tim might die."

A light spell shot up, and the sounds of Tim being surrounded by Lesser Dragons and his cries could be heard. He was probably fighting desperately, his face flushed with fear.

"He'll be the decoy, and we'll take down the Lesser Dragons from behind. ...Really, it's an easy job."

By helping him here, their positions would be firmly established.

Walter and Red approached the Lesser Dragons, who were focused on Tim, silently and prepared to eliminate them.
