It was around 2 AM, when everyone was likely sound asleep.
In a Residential Area where the rich people lived.
The Adventurer’s Guild hired bodyguards with no issues in their conduct.
Patrol Soldiers also visited for patrols quite frequently.
In a corner of such a Residential Area.
Hidden by the darkness, a group was making suspicious movements.
They were the rumored new forces, a Villain Organization.
“Hey?”
“Keep it down. So, what is it?”
“The house we’re going to raid, it has that… treasure called Wish Fulfilled, right?”
“Yeah, the Boss said so. I’ve never failed when trusting the Boss’s words. You’re a newcomer, aren’t you?”
Since he was told to bring me along by the Boss, I must have some special skill that’s useful for this job.
“Yes, I joined two days ago.”
“Is that so. The Boss told me to bring you. Don’t make such a worried face.”
If you get scared, bad things will happen.
Or rather, it will attract them.
The man who became the leader for this job eased the tension of the newcomers and others.
Then, he got to work.
The Watch was at the front and back of the Building.
The difference in Combat Power was evenly matched.
We’re not here to fight.
We’re just going to steal the treasure and escape.
There were no windows to invade from either end of the Building.
It was understandable that the security was thin.
We jumped over the fence, using our Allies as stepping stones.
Those who couldn’t cross were assigned to guard the Surroundings.
Securing an escape route.
“The guys at the front are more careless.”
He took out a prop.
Deciding who to throw it at whom, they launched them all at once.
“Ugh?! Cough, cough. Th-the enemy… Huh?”
Thump, thump.
The paralyzing poison powder specially made by the Boss was highly effective.
We’ve been relying on it every time.
With this poison powder, we are safe.
“Hey, it’s your turn.”
“Alright, with this in my hands…”
Click.
Opening and closing the Entrance lock is a piece of cake ♪
“I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Roger.”
Leaving the lockpicker there, we invaded the Building.
Cautiously checking for Traps, we headed for the target Room.
It was thanks to the Boss, who had obtained a floor plan in advance.
“I think this every time…”
“Did something happen?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
I wonder where the Boss gets all that Information?
For an outcast like me, trying to join an Organization.
“We don’t need guys like you, get lost.”
“Are you some kind of spy, huh?”
“In my Organization? Keep your jokes to yourself ♪”
I was rejected.
It’s normal to be rejected like that.
The Boss didn’t abandon us.
Thanks to him, I had a Meal for the first time in a while… and ate something delicious.
“Isn’t this the Room?”
“Well done, newcomer.”
In front of the door to the Room where the treasure was.
Confirming there were no Traps, he slowly turned the doorknob.
Creak…
“There’s no one here.”
Just as the Information said.
They concentrated their forces Outside.
The inside of the Building was unguarded, not even protected by servants.
“The safe is over there.”
It was dark and hard to see.
The landscape painting of a Large ship visible from the Beach, framed in a large frame, must have been expensive.
This Country is inland. It takes Time to see the Sea.
Moreover, in this current situation (at War with the Neighboring Country).
No matter how much Money you offered, you couldn’t hire a Guard willing to take the risk to see the Sea.
Clunk, clunk.
A hidden safe behind the landscape painting.
It was a dial lock.
Taking out the numbers the Boss had written down from my pocket, and checking them against the directions.
In the quiet Room, I slowly turned the dial, making ticking sounds.
Tick, tick… Click.
“It’s open.”
“Ooh, as expected of the Boss ♪”
Inside were gold and silver treasures.
Several Magic Tools.
Among them, one.
I carefully took out the target treasure, Wish Fulfilled.
The rest of the treasures were roughly transferred into bags.
“Let’s get outta here ♪”
We went back the way we came.
On the way, we heard footsteps from the Second floor and stopped.
The light from the lantern reflected on a servant working in the Building.
Going to the toilet, I guess. He’s quite startling.
I memorized his Face. Maybe I’ll pickpocket him when I’m freelancing.
We rejoined the guy we left at the Entrance.
“No anomalies ♪”
Next, we rejoined those who couldn’t jump over the fence and were left behind.
“Welcome back ♪”
“Alright, let’s get outta here.”
“Roger.”
We returned to our Base.
I went to report to the Boss that the job was completed safely.
“Boss, are you awake? Or were you enjoying yourself?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
The Boss was assaulting a Girl he found dying on the street.
I thought he could just buy a Prostitute.
Skin and Bones. Poorly Developed.
Well, there’s nothing I can do about the Boss’s preferences.
“This is Wish Fulfilled.”
“Oh, this is it ♪”
The Boss looked at the treasure intently and seemed to want to use it immediately.
“So, ah, I’ll be going now…”
“What’s this, stay and watch for a bit ♪”
“Yes.”
The Magic Tools range from those used in wealthy households to those that can easily kill people.
It’s not dangerous, right?
Judging by the name, it’s something that summons things, right?
Please don’t summon dangerous things, Boss~~.
“Now, Wish Fulfilled. Give me the tool to fulfill my dreams ♪”
As the Boss wished.
Wish Fulfilled emitted a light, and it seemed to be a small music box, as a beautiful melody began to play.
When the song ended, the lid opened on its own, and inside was a small, pinky-finger-sized Magic Stone? Jewel?
Is this the function of Wish Fulfilled?
It just creates something that can be turned into Money?
If so, we can grow the Organization without having to raid in the future.
“Fufu, well done ♪”
“Ah, this is also because the Boss had the Information beforehand.”
And it’s also because you keep us around.
I returned to my Room after telling the Boss I was leaving.
It’s a shared Room with my Allies, though.
If the Money becomes stable from now on,
Getting a private Room will just be a matter of Time.
I conveyed this to the others in the Room who were waiting for me to finish my report, without sleeping.
“Seriously? ♪”
“Woooo, something amazing is nearby ♪”
“It’s nice not having to sneak in ♪”
“Shall I buy some Alcohol? Ah, the Tavern is probably closed by now too ♪”
