บท 96: Infiltration and Information
With the distraction in place, both Lisa and Kell entered the tavern with ease. It would be easier if it was just Lisa but Kell is needed in case there are some people left despite the distraction, and they would be too much for the archer to handle.
As they entered through the window, they spotted some people inside. They did not see them yet, which allow Lisa to slit their throats easily. With them out of the way, they check the room they entered, searching everywhere as quickly as possible.
For some of the documents, they keep in their bags, to be given to Ian for a quick check and analysis. After taking what they deemed useful, along with some treasures they could find; they need to make it look like a rival gang, after all.
After finishing with the first room, they head to the second one, though they are not as lucky. Several guards remained, and they were spotted. Lisa could not take them on her own and would be forced to run. Kell on the other hand-
"Rargh!" he swing his club, hitting the guards at the gut before throwing them to the first floor. With just a single hit, he manage to take down all the guards, showing his strength, and frankly, make Lisa felt something else.
"I love him," she said dreamily before slapping her face, "No time to get arouse. Let see what they got here," she said to herself before following Kell.
As the enter the room, the archer realize it is a treasure trove, of not the valuable materials kind, but instead of knowledge, of the organizational structure of the Dark Hound, or that is what she read of the first paper.
Looking at Kell, the two have the same look before they quickly put the documents inside their magic bag, not even reading it so they could get all of it if possible. After all, delaying to just find the more important documents will took too much time.
After they cleaned the entire room of any documents, there were about to head towards the third one when they heard the door opening. They could handle any of them but decided against it, instead running away via the window once more.
As they escape, they were noticed by the gang members outside.
"What the- Get them!" one of them yelled, prompting the rest to follow them like mad hounds. With them after their heels, no doubt they will not stop, even if they are trespassing the other gangs' territory.
Thankfully, the two of them have the perfect cover.
"Mist," thick mist appeared, blocking the sight of the gang members. When the mist was blown away by one of them who knew wind magic, the pair already gone, leaving behind a group of angry Hounds, barking at anything in sight.
-x-
"That is exciting, and kind of close," Kell exclaimed, he and Lisa are not even that far from the Hounds, maybe just 30 feet or so.
The reason they are not worried is the fact they are under Invisibility, this time, a potion made by Euralle. Aside from not being seen, there are no other adverse side effect, allowing them to hide in plain sight. Of course, there are time limit, but it is in hours, more than enough for them to get away.
The mist is just to block view of the guards, so they could not be seen as they drink the potion. They observe the group for few more minutes before getting out of there, intend to regroup with the others.
-x-
"So, you realize you are invisible and decide to use the newfound power to-" both Fiona and Euralle look down on both Lisa and Kell, both having a bump on their head, courtesy of the two women.
In fact, the one of Kell's head is from Euralle, which is surprising, as no one expect her to have such good aim.
"We grope Ana, well, everywhere, in plain sight, so she could not say anything to not die from embarrassment," the two said, trying to ignore the teary-eyed redhead, who are glaring at them with a red face, still embarrassed by what happened.
"Next time, I will make sure the potion will leave you two naked," Euralle is small, and her threat did not seem like much, but it is still terrifying to see the normally shy and kind alchemist so angry.
As the two perverts are chewed alive by the livid women, Ian are busy on the background reading the document, straining his eyes and brains as he was busy making sense of the plethora of information.
The mage wanted to both thanked and cursed the two perverts, as they have brought them new information of the gang that had been targeting Euralle, but also left it all to him to read through it.
He wanted to rip them a new one but his girlfriends are doing good job at that, so he decided to focus on the document. Not like he was afraid of them knowing some of his ideas, no sir, he was not afraid at all.
-x-
While the others are sleeping, the mage is busy skimming through the document. Thankfully, they are loaded, so they don't need to go on missions for at least few more weeks, and that if they decide to splurge on food.
If they decided to save money, they could last for 2 months, he guessed. But still, such life is not viable, as it would make them feel like they are caged, and he intend on making sure the cage that is fear of Dark Hound retaliation will be broken.
He wanted to end the gang as well for what they did to Euralle. His stray thought cause him to accidently pushed the pile of paper down the table. He cursed and about to pick it up when a hand landed on his shoulder.
"Ian, get some rest for now," Fiona pleaded. He wanted to argue but frankly, he is too tired to even do so. He reluctantly nodded, yawning all the way as the blonde lead him to their joint room.
Already on the bed and seem like she had drifted to good slumber is Euralle, the pink-haired shorty letting out some cute sound as she slept.
Ian took the spot next to her, before spooning the sleeping the alchemist. She let out mumble before pushing her back against his chest, only stopping when his arms wrapped her body.
She let out a sleepy thanks before going back to sleep. With her falling asleep, Ian tried to follow made easier as Fiona sandwiched him with the sleeping Euralle. Before long, he soon find himself in dream world.
