“(Schnee here. I found the entrance to the cave.)”

It happened less than 5 minutes since they started running.

The awaited communication came from Schnee.

“(Great! What does the entrance’s surroundings look like?)”

“(I cannot tell clearly without going closer, but it’s bizarre. It is not concealed in any way, there aren’t any of the usual traps that signal the presence of intruders, nor anyone standing guard. I checked with 【Magic Sonar】, so I am positive it leads inside.)”

The joy of the discovery did not last long. After hearing Schnee’s words, Shin wondered if it wasn’t a totally unrelated, normal cave.

But the information he received after that placated his doubts.

【Magic Sonar】 was originally used to detect buried items and ore, but it could be adapted to search for hidden underground pathways and maps never visited before.

That was how Schnee could inspect the cave’s interior.

“We found the enemy’s hideout. It looks like the response’s target was heading back to base, then.”

After listening to Schnee’s report, Shin relayed the information to the other members in the carriage.

Konig was surprised at how easily they performed long-distance communication, but he seemed to know about Mind Chat, so he nodded in agreement.

Few adventurers are capable of using Mind Chat, but it wasn’t unusual for Shin’s party to be able to, or so concluded Konig.

“Are you sure about that!?”

“Yes, from Yuki’s observations, I think there’s no mistake. So please...stand back a little.”

Shin answered after pushing back Konig, who had unconsciously walked up a bit too close to him, a terribly stern look on his face.

Considering that there was a player among the enemies, they couldn’t completely discard the possibility of an illusory trap that could deceive even Schnee; but if such a thing happened, they’d just have to praise the user’s skill.

The work of an artisan who poured everything into trap making is something that not even those with scout as main job can see through easily.

“It doesn’t look like there are traps set around the entrance, but just in case, in a little while we’ll get off the carriage and walk. Konig, please take this.”

Shin materialized a green cloak from an item card and passed it to Konig.

“What is this?”

“A magic item specialized in concealment effects. Please be aware that in exchange, its defensive capabilities are almost non-existent.”

The item Shin had materialized was made with the thread produced by the larvae of the monster Mirage Butterfly, its name “Cloak of Hidden Threads”.

The cloak was made with the threads of a monster which couldn’t even be spotted without high level enemy detection or presence detection skills. True to such origins, simply wearing the cloak would render the user indistinguishable from their surroundings.

The equipment worn under it could be detected via sound or vibration, but if the enemy relied on visual information, it would have been difficult to find.

The carriage was stopped after a while and the party descended. Before starting to walk, Shin handed the same cloak to Tiera.

“This is yours. Kagerou...doesn’t need it, I suppose.”

“That’s right. Kagerou can hide by himself, after all.
