To avenge their destroyed bases, to regain their tarnished honor, to take revenge for many of their subordinates. Despite the lack of evidence, the 『Moonlight Owl』 began to move to assassinate Takumi once more.

However, along with their bases in Valkyra Kingdom, they were also greatly affected by the fact that many of their skilled assassins and fighters were arrested.

Much to Forbach’s fortune, a godsend in the form of a job request came from a noble from Yggurle Kingdom.

The client concealed his name and disguised himself with a magic tool, but as rotten as he was, Forbach was also an elf. It wasn’t difficult for him to see through the client’s race.

Forbach narrowed it down to the rich and powerful nobles in Yggurle Kingdom who make use of Dark Guilds. He deduced that the client was likely Earl Hordia.

The target can not be dealt with by ordinary means. To be prudent, Forbach decided to make contact with the client at Wedgefort to have a meeting to discuss the finer details.

「Boss, you’ll go to Wedgefort yourself?」

「Yeah, it’s the place close to the target. We might figure something out. And that Earl Hordia has been known to be dirty, rotten elf since way back in Yggurle Kingdom. He probably also has soldiers working behind the scenes.」

「Will you use them too?」

「Yeah, I’ll use whatever I can. That’s the kind of person our target is.」

Forbach brought a few guards with him as he headed for Wedgefort by way of Lomaria Kingdom.

And now also in the trading nation’s bustling port city, there were other men who had a grudge on Takumi because of being unable to get the elf in the attack, as well as incurring a huge monetary loss from having to pay huge compensation to free their mercenaries and members of the Dark Guild who had been sold as criminal slaves.

Earl Sechnal and Earl Vautarc, nobles of Samandour Kingdom, lost a lot of money from their schemes.

The fact that Earl Sechnal and Earl Vautarc sent out surveillance units also made it difficult to clean up after them. Thanks to that, both families had to expend plenty of effort and money to make sure their families couldn’t be tied to it.

That much money was a serious blow to their companies which had been on a decline as of recent.

「Master, I think you should stop already……」

「Shut up! You think I will let it end with some commoner making a fool out of me!? How much do you think I’ve lost? The Dark Guild and the Mercenary Guild are setting aside their incompetence and are crying out so annoyingly about compensation!」

Despite the chamberlain trying to dissuade Earl Sechnal from involving himself any more than this with Takumi, Earl Sechnal was not only obsessed with money, but was also extremely proud and had the mentality of being one of the chosen people. And so, he seethed with murderous impulse towards Takumi, forgetting that it was he who tried to attack and kill Takumi.

「That Dark Guild isn’t good enough. Oi! Look for a Dark Guild that can assassinate from anywhere in the continent!」

「……by your will.」

From his years of experience, the chamberlain knew that that it was futile to say anything more to his Master and so he gave up and began looking for a Dark Guild by following up with their connections.

And funnily enough, the exact same exchange was taking place in Earl Vautarc’s mansion.

Earl Sechnal and Earl Vautarc. It was likely not a coincidence but a necessity that these two greedy people finally arrived at the infamous 『Moonlight Owl』 of the underworld of the continent.

Resentment, Greed, Jealousy, and Murderous Intent were gathering in one place. Like stagnant, rotting water pooling in one spot……
