Chapter 194: Mysterious Kidnapper 2

Pauline-san headed to the guild with the innkeeper, and others headed for the kidnapping site with the guidance of Meselichan.

The innkeeper’s wife stayed at the inn with her sons.

『………………』(Mile)

Scared. Everyone was afraid of the silent Mile.

No, Rena, Maevis, and of course Dafrel’s father and daughter are angry with the kidnappers,

but they were overwhelmed by the negative aura that is radiated intensely from the whole body of Mile.

『Rensan, what is the purpose of the kidnappers?』(Mile)

『Eh, I can think of ransom purpose, human trafficking,

toying with children if they are twisted persons who enjoy torturing or killing.

And I wonder if they aim for Faril-chan because she is a half-beastkin』(Rena)

As Mile was silent, suddenly talk to her, Rena replied in a panic because the negative aura from this Mile seems to be weakening.

『They aim for her because she is a half-beastkin?』(Mile)

『Yes, you should know, there are some peoples or fanatics thought so …

The beastkin is a lower creature,

Cross-breed children between human and beastkin are said to be a blasphemy against G.o.d who created human beings,

They are the opposite of you, Mile, you love beastkin … Hii~iii』(Rena)

『Please don’t lump my love for kemonomimi with a maniac!』

…So scary. Mile right now was so scary.

『But maybe it’s most likely that they kidnapped Faril-chan because of her beastkin’s blood,

rather than human trafficking or any other purpose …』(Mile)

『『『Huh?』』』(Rena, Mevis, and Dafrel)

As they heard Mile said, Rena, Mevis, and Dafrel raised their surprised voice.

『Eh, why do you think so?』(Rena)

『Because Meselichan said that when the kidnappers appeared, they shouted out loud to Faril-chan 《This is the one》

That means, from the beginning they already intended to kidnap Faril-chan.

If their purpose are ordinary ransom, human trafficking, etc,

Isn’t it normal to kidnap Meselichan too as well?

Besides, they left it without harming anyone other than Faril-chan.

Usually, they will seal the mouth, eliminate the eyewitness testimonials to delay the discovery of their crime,

It only took a few seconds to use the knife to silent a kid.

Nevertheless, they may be quite decent people for not doing it.

…Or at least, for those other than Faril-chan who was their purpose』(Mile)

『Mou…mouth seal!?』(Dafrel)

『…with a knife!』(Meselia)

And now, Dafrel-san and Meselichan have noticed how dangerous the situation Meselichan was in. Their face became pale blue.

*******************************

Everyone ran over ten minutes from the inn and arrived at the gra.s.sland where Meselichan was playing with Faril-chan.

Because it’s a foot of a child, it isn’t so far.

Dafrel-san tried to carry Meselichan on his back.

But she delined. Well, a child around 6 years old ran by herself is still faster.

『Here, it was around here, those men were …

Faril-chan tried to resist and shouted out loud, Meselia also clung to the men and tried to stop him, but Meselia was shoved down to the gra.s.s』(Meselia talks in 3rd POV)

『… Olfaction, Visualization!』(Mile)

Suddenly Mile said something with unknown meaning.

『『……what?』』(Rena + Maevis)

Naturally, Rena and Maevis raised their voice of doubt.

『It’s the magic to visualize the olfaction』(Mile)

… just as they heard.

『That does not explain anything!』(Rena)

Rensan protested. well, that was an average (a normal) thing. And then Mile gave out a little more detailed explanation.

『If we have a dog, we can let it traces after Faril-chan’s smell

But there’s no trained dog nor a sample of Faril-chan’s smell.

That’s why I will follow her smell with body strengthening magic.

Odor usually sniffs with a nose, but I have no ability to discern the intensity or direction of smell with my nose.

So, instead of sniffing with the nose, I convert the olfactory signal to sight.

So that I can 《see the smell with eyes》』(Mile)

『『『… … …?』』』(Rena + Pauline + Dafrel)

They don’t know anything about it at all. Of course, Meselichan is out of the question.

『Well, just leave it alone for now!

Because time is urgent, please just keep silent and follow me!』(Mile)

That said, Mile started looking around.

『This is it! Let’s go!』(Mile)

Four people hurriedly follow after Mile, who seems to find some clue about Faril-chan and start walking that started walking.

『Mile, do you know Faril-chan’s smell?』(Rena)

『Rensan, do you think that I have been fascinating Faril-chan all the times for nothing!?』(Mile)

『『『…………』』』

Three people other than Meselichan were dumbfounding… again.

『Pauline-san is about to finish her errand in the guild

For now, I understood the approximate direction.

I think we will move in this direction for a while.

Maevis-san, would you please pick up Pauline-san at the guild?』(Mile)

『Understood!』(Maevis)

And a while later, Maevis-san came back… together with Pauline-san, the innkeeper, and five more hunters.

『What, what’s with those peoples!?』(Rena)

Pauline lowered her head to Rena’s shouting.

『Sorry, as we processed the request at the guild,

These people happened to be there and were listening to the emergency request with the receptionist at the guild.

And they said that they would also receive the request,

They said that they will receive it, but … rather forced.

We also said that the amount of reward is only 1 silver coin, but still, …』(Pauline)

『They were staying at my inn before, and they know about Faril …

The reward of the request is only a silver coin as you told me,

but they said that they are okay with that

To be honest, I want a lot of help myself.

So, I asked them to work together!』(Innkeeper)

From the side, the innkeeper said so as followed.

The girls understand the innkeeper’s feelings, they can also understand the feelings of the hunters who agreed to help.

They can’t refuse this.

Besides, the 《emergency request》 like this doesn’t specify the contractor in the first place.

Only the《appointment request》that designates the contractor,

And if it’s nominated request it will not be an urgent request.

However, this time it was necessary to have 《urgent request》for their convenience.

The girls needed the guild to widely spread about this request.

Besides, 《Red oath》 can’t refuse it when the client, the innkeeper already agreed to it.

Pauline understands it well.

Rena also shrugs her shoulders like she has no other choice.

『Worry not, my juniors! For us, your seniors are here!

We, the five girls who have the blessing of the G.o.ddess!』(Firii)

『『『『The G.o.ddess’ servant!!』』』』(Telyucia + Tasia + Raselina + Willine)
