The Town with a Dungeon

After parting ways with Rahda, I decided to head for the territory under the royal family’s jurisdiction where a large dungeon—and my next assassination targets—could be found.

Well, “parting,” since the beastwoman was, no doubt, keeping tabs on me from somewhere. There was a possibility the information she’d given me wasn’t accurate—that she’d altered it for her own benefit—but I wasn’t going to bother checking its veracity. Rahda wasn’t the only contact the guild had sent, which meant she wouldn’t have been able to tamper with the info significantly. Either way, she was too smart to make simple alterations that I could debunk with only a few days’ investigation. And above all, if she had messed with the documents for her own convenience, it meant she, too, would have to act in accordance with the altered intel, which would inform me of her actions in turn.

I stocked up on salt and spices and went to various alchemists’ shops to purchase the alchemical ingredients I still needed for the trip. In addition, I decided to buy myself a cloak made of monster materials. Such armor, like the boots and glove my mentor had given me, was capable of repairing minor wear and tear on its own by absorbing moisture in the air and the wearer’s aether. How well it could regenerate varied with the monster’s rank, so the effect was minor in a cloak made from low-ranking monsters, but it was still leagues better than ordinary fabric or leather at protecting against the elements.

And so, two days after my run-in with Feld and the others, I was once again at the dwarf armorer’s store. I’d waited a couple days to avoid running into the group a second time. Feld I did want to see again, but I didn’t want to deal with the noble boys, who had given me strange looks.

“Gelf, I’d like to buy a cloak,” I said.

“You’re about the only customer who comes to my shop asking for something cheap and with no care for the design, dearie,” the armorer replied. “Well, no matter. I’ll pick out something reasonably priced, just for you.”

He gave me a wink of his false eyelashes, the gesture so exaggerated it almost made a sound. I nodded quietly, pinching the skirt of the leather outfit he’d given me. “Are the repairs done? If so, I’d like to get changed.”

“My, but you’re stoic, aren’t you? The repairs are done, mind you, but was that outfit not to your liking? It’s not made from monster leather, but I didn’t skimp on it, you know,” Gelf said, sighing.

I shook my head. “No, I like it. It’s thin, light, and comfortable. I do get more glances now that I’m wearing it, but a shawl around my neck takes care of that.”

“And you’re back to having ashes in your hair too. You know, honey, since you’re using an illusion spell, you should use a lighter touch. Just coat it a little to reduce the sheen. Otherwise, it only makes you stand out more.
