Information Gathering

“There we go.”

The sniper is not dead, but he’s twitching, so he’s probably alive, and that’s not a problem.

And after confirming that, the members of the Dragon’s Eye, including the sniper, had ropes that could also restrain the explorers, so I used those ropes to tie them all up.

“Now …… how do I wake them up ……?”

I took the map, and now I just needed to find out about the plan the sniper was talking about, and how to wake them up.

At any rate, I made sure they all had no concealed weapons, so there was no problem waking them up since I don’t have to worry about a surprise attack.

…… Okay.

“Hey. Wake up.”

────Pump-pump-pump!!!!

At any rate, to wake up the unconscious sniper, I give him a series of slaps in the face – a return slap.

“Ugh …… what the hell!”

The sniper woke up immediately from the impact of the slap on the cheek and looked around restlessly, and glared at me as if he understood the situation.

Just now, thinking that my attack didn’t work, I thought this back-and-forth slap would be meaningless, but it seems it worked properly.

“Good morning. I’m sorry to be so quick, but I have a lot of questions I’d like to ask you. And I’m going to need you to answer them.”

“…… Ha, ha! Who’s going to answer you?”

“Well, ……, I guess that’s okay.”

I said that, used my [Magic Arrow] to create a single transparent arrow, and attached it to my bow.

“Hey, what are you going to do?”

“I won’t do anything if you answer my question honestly, but …… shh!”

“Hee, hee!”

The transparent arrow, fired at the frightened sniper, passed right on target, right through the sniper’s face.

The sniper reflexively tried to avoid it, or maybe he almost shifted his face a little, but there was no point in doing so since I had no intention of hitting the sniper from the start.

“Gee, gee ……”

“Heh? Huh?”

My aim was at the approaching devil bat from the beginning.

Devil bat falls after being shot through the head without noticing the transparent arrow that suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Ha, ha?”

“When I say I’m not going to do anything, I mean that literally. I don’t mean any harm, but as you can see, monsters will attack you. Well, if you can deal with those guys in that state, I don’t care.”

“I… I understood! Hey, I’ll tell you anything. Just help me!”

The sniper started talking in a hurry the moment he heard my words.

Hmmm, this might have been a bit much, but oh well.

Honestly, I could have continued the interrogation, but I don’t have much time.

“Okay, so let’s get on with it and get you to tell us all about it, shall we Sniper-san?”

I smiled as I said that.

I got a lot more out of the sniper than I thought I would, and I got quite a bit of useful information from him.

First of all, it seems that this dungeon was hidden by Labyrinthianism, just as I had predicted.

The Labyrinthianism ordered members of Dragon’s Eye here were ordered to kidnap a girl who could see the future. A child of an oracle.

Labyrinthianism attacked the schools because of an oracle from the gods, and she was 18 years old. They could identify the place where she would be, so they searched for people who could use the corresponding Unique Skill, and they attacked, and kidnapped them.

I see what you mean.

All of the gathered information was starting to form in my mind as if I tried to fit all the missing pieces together. And I was gradually getting a clearer picture of this whole case.

So this one case was, after all, masterminded by Labyrinthianism.

The Dragon’s Eye is probably working under the direction of Labyrinthianism, but they don’t seem to know what to do with the oracle’s child, or they don’t get the details.

Rina has the skill of [Future Sight], so is she a child who can see the future like the child of the oracle or something like that?

I’m beyond doubtful.

There are also some mysterious things called gods, such as dungeons. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is one after all these years.

But if so, I don’t understand why you made the roundabout way of saying “child of the oracle”.

If there is such a thing as God. Why didn’t he name Rina from the beginning instead of making a roundabout way?

If that’s the case, it makes more sense that someone who wanted Rina’s [Future Sight] power used some skill to deceive God.

That’s no good.

There are not enough pieces to grasp the whole case with only the information I heard.

But that’s all the sniper knows, so there’s no point in thinking any further.

I’ve got the map and gathered the information.

All that’s left is to move on.
