Book 21: Chapter 2 (11)
(Is it here?)
The arrow pointed to the room furthest from the stairs. There was a lot of space between the rooms, so it couldn’t be mistaken for the next room.
Just to be sure, Shin used his 【Through Sight】 to look inside. Inside were Jayf and three other people.
Shin waited until Jayf was alone, then snuck into the room.
He deactivated 【Hiding】 when he was close. Jayf was surprised and said something, but Shin couldn’t hear him because he had activated 【Area Silence】.
After realizing that it was difficult to convey his intentions with just gestures when he was with Kluck, Shin showed him a piece of paper about A4 size that he had prepared beforehand. He wrote that he had come here at Kluck’s request, and that he had been entrusted with the metal plate. Jayf nodded after reading it, so Shin deactivated 【Area Silence】.
“You really surprised me.”
“I apologize for surprising you. It seemed like it would take a while to meet you officially.”
It was still unclear who Jayf was. But it seemed unlikely that an adventurer like Shin, who had just arrived in Kurikara a few days ago, would be able to invite someone who’s staying at the royal castle. It wasn’t a praiseworthy method, but Shin decided that it was urgent.
