I can't go out to the city and have to spend my time inside the hideout place..... but there is nothing in particular I could do here. There is no one I can talk to kill time either.


Marao, Barro-san, and other beastmen are busy to prepare the future action. What's left is Grave-san but..... he is still enjoying his time with Iura-san. All the time..... forget it, let's back to sleep!!


I dooooon't careeeee!! Uwaa a~a~a~a~a!! I'm not envious at all!! I'm not envious at all!!


I’m staying on the bed while hugging Meru to kill time until the rescue operation started.


[Hao-chan.......... can I really depend on this person..........] (Marao)


[I'm sorry..........] (Wazu)


I just close my eyes while lying down, but never thought will sleep for real. Moreover, it turns out to be Marao who woke me up.


I remember the rescue operation start time. I remember it properly but..... I seriously didn't intend to sleep.


Ugh, I'm really sorry!!


I covered my face with both hands from shame.


Right now it's almost midnight time. I, Grave-san, and Barro-san are making final preparation at the entrance of hideout. Well, I just stand upright because I don’t have anything to be brought in particular. I leave Meru with Marao to be safe.


When it comes to emergency situation I’ll tell her to escape alone. As I’m watching Grave-san and Barro-san making preparation, I heard a voice from Rino-san the cow beastman.


[Can I have a minute?] (Rino)


[Yes?] (Wazu)


She says so and began to spread some kind of powder overhead. Huh? What is this?


[What is this powder?] (Wazu)


*pan-pan* I lightly hit my body just in case. I closed and opened my palms but I can't see any abnormalities.


[This is a deodorant. Yesterday Barro-san said that we beastmen are sensitive to smell. This deodorant is erasing the smell so you won't be easily get found. The effect last for about 30 minutes. This is the rest of deodorant. Please be careful because we only have this one] (Rino)


[Okay, I understand!] (Wazu)


I received a bag containing deodorant from Rino-san. Looking around, Grave-san was talking with Iura-san, Barro-san was spreading a deodorant to Gunki a monkey beastman.


[Be careful, Grave-san] (Iura)


[Yeah, I will surely come back] (Grave)


[Take care] (Rino)


[Yeah.....] (Wazu)


I wonder what..... my chest somewhat tightened to such scenes. After we finished our preparation we set off from the hideout to rescue the hostages.


The distance from the hideout to the castle is not that far. But it takes quite some time because we are moving while hiding in the shade of the house so as not to be found by the hardliners.


Again, we can't use the castle gate to invade this time. We spend more time to go around to the back of castle.


30 minutes almost passed since we start the operation. I put deodorant once again in accordance with Rino-san instruction.


I usually don't act like this so I somewhat nervous, but at the same time I'm getting excited. This is something new and fresh. I wonder what kind of things await us when we entering the castle.


There is rampart surrounding the castle to prevent invasion from foreign enemies. Although we went to the back of castle, there is no secret passage like the last time. We are hiding behind the shadow of trees in the vicinity of rampart.


If it's me, I will break the wall with single punch and enter the castle. However, that will inform the enemy of our location, thus I ask Barro-san about our next move.


[So, what are we going to do now?] (Wazu)


[Calm down. There are still some allies inside the castle. I had sent a word to them this morning] (Barro)


A rope ladder was thrown from the top of rampart to prove his words. As I look at the source, I see the figure of guard who returning to the patrol round after give us a signal. We immediately climb the rampart using that rope ladder.


All members arrived on the top of rampart. Next, we followed Barro-san's guidance while keeping our body low to reduce our chance to be found. As expected of former chief guard, Barro-san knows the terrain very well. We steadily proceed our way through the castle under his lead.


We also encountered several patrolling soldiers on the way but was able to pass without get found. The deodorant also seems to take the active role this time.


We arrived near the stairs lead to underground jail just little ahead. Somehow it's a bit disappointing. Everything went too smooth.


I wonder if my presence even needed here? I have such ideas as we are advancing without meet any obstacle.


We stopped in front of the room where the hostages were detained, perhaps. It's not an underground jail, is it? or so I thought. Whether that question written on my face, Barro-san give me the answer.


[The others are detained inside underground jail but Gio-sama is under arrest in this room. I will go first to rescue Garb-sama who is a high official of moderate faction, follow me later.....] (Barro)


I had a bad feeling about the situation. How easy it was for us to come this far also make things more suspicious.


Why did he want to go first? Why is there no guard in front of the room where the king supposed to be detained?


Grave-san seems to have the same idea with me. He shows me a doubtful look. However, Barro-san broke into the room before we could ask questions. I and Grave-san also move into action after clicking our tongues.


Upon entering the room, there is nothing we can see because is total darkness. However, we keep advancing forwards.


I can feel Grave-san's signs but Barro-san is nowhere to be found. The moment I thought so, I heard a crackling noise from behind.


I turn my face toward the direction where the sound was heard. Suddenly, the bright light filled the room and deprived my visibility for a moment.


I get used with the brightness gradually. But there, I saw something like iron bars that are placed at equal interval filled my field of vision.


There is Barro-san with grievous expression at the other side of iron bars. Next to him is a hefty physique beastman with the same golden cat-like ears like Marao.


I surveyed the surrounding once more and found out that there are only I and Grave-san at this side of iron bars. In other words we were caught in a trap.


Sending my line of sight at Barro-san who trapped us, he breathed out only one word with a sad painful face.


[Sorry..........] (Barro)
