Actually, An Yi would at least give them some face and go drinking, but Mi Lu Ke would probably never even be seen at a normal dinner party.
Sometimes, even when Jiuhou had arrived, he would activate his stealth ability and silently run back to San to sleep. San: 0'』＼
Anyway, nobody will pay attention to her, and no one will ask about her if she disappears.
At most, they'll be asked questions like, "Isn't there someone else in the Saintess Squad?" or "Why is there only three in the four-person squad?"
Miluko was only discovered to have left the dinner party after it was discovered that one person was missing.
An Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you do it."
Anyway, there shouldn't be any more wrestling matches later on, since...
"Sika" is injured in the hand and cannot exert himself.
Chapter 226 [Stone Rhinoceros] Backstab (4k)
While pretending to "rest," An Yi used the [Formless] ability to transform into a formless undead demon and pass through the wall to leave the inn.
Then it transforms into the appearance of a random giant demon and begins purchasing items outside.
Considering he was going to a cocktail party, it wasn't convenient for Layton to carry a fanny pack. It would be terrible if someone got bumped into him while they were walking around.
After all, being unable to see the outside world from inside the waist pack is actually very dangerous for the three people hiding there.
Annie's plan is to buy a large enough backpack and a box that can be hidden inside the backpack.
The three people were hiding in a box, which was carried with them along with their backpacks, or perhaps placed somewhere at the party venue.
That way, when it's time to make a move, you can break open the box and join the battle immediately.
Because their goal is to complete the assassination today, there is no time for them to investigate the whereabouts and stake out in advance, so the three of them cannot be too far apart.
The battle must have ended in the blink of an eye, otherwise the noise made by the stone rhinoceros would have attracted the attention of the other stone rhinoceroses.
Soon, An Yi finished shopping and opened a room near the territory of the Stone Horned Rhinoceroses.
He closed the door, but it wasn't locked, and he left from underground as a ghost.
Not long after, a giant moose with bandages wrapped around its hands pushed open the door, grabbed a huge backpack, and turned to leave.
This time, the door wasn't even properly closed, so when the demons cleaning the inn came to clean, they assumed the guest had already left.
With her backpack on, An Yi returned to the inn arranged by Stone Horn Rhino, and transformed back into her original form.
Because the excuse for leaving home was "to pick up my luggage," no one suspected anything when I returned with the bag.
Upon returning, An Yi began explaining the plans for the evening to the three of them.
"Our goal is assassination, to find an opportunity to be alone with [Stone Rhinoceros]."
"First, think of a few excuses to be alone with the other party, and then devise assassination methods for different scenarios," Annie said.
Several possibilities were discussed, and then some additional points were made for each.
After a brief series of discussions, they began their next preparations.
The discussion only outlined a few scenarios, but in the end, plans couldn't keep up with changes, and we had to adapt to the situation.
It's impossible to be fully prepared. Just like a little devil might suddenly appear in human territory, anything can happen.
All they can do is plan for possibilities that are conceivable within the normal range.
The party began at night.
The giant beasts began to drink heartily, roaring and shouting, and dancing strange steps, rumbling like an earthquake, one after another.
Small-sized demons living around here would be tormented to the point of exhaustion.
Noisy!
During the reception, Shi Xi and a group of high-ranking members of the organization chatted and laughed with "Sika," happily drinking together.
They never expected that Sika, who had been completely emotionless during the day, would suddenly become excited like a demon after drinking.
He was happy, and everyone else was also excited.
"drink!"
"Done, done!"
"Brother Shika, you have a great capacity for alcohol!!"
The backpack was placed not far away, just behind Layton's chair.
The top layer of the backpack contained simple clothes and some dried meat.
At the very bottom of the backpack was a wooden box where the three people were hiding.
The three of them sat huddled inside the box, unable to even stretch their legs, only able to hug their knees.
I'm not worried that Lycorina will be detected if she's too far away from Layton, after all...
These demons, after drinking alcohol, have even less perception!
"Brother Sika, where are you from?" Shi Xi asked with a smile. "I've never heard of a warrior as brave as you in the city!"
“A small village in a cold place, nothing to mention, nothing to mention,” Layton, disguised as “Sika,” laughed.
Most moose live in cold regions, and that's a pretty accurate statement.
"A cold place? I've never been there."
"I heard that you people wear an extra layer of fur over there?"
"People like us who don't have hair on our bodies would freeze to death if we went there!"
Unlike the giant beasts here, the [Giant Horned Moose] is indeed covered in long fur, from its neck to its chest, as if it were wearing a scarf.
An Yi thus "inferred" that the giant deer came from a cold region.
Layton chuckled and made up a few "hometown stories," which amused the stone rhinoceroses so much that not one of them doubted his origins.
Most demons, from birth to death, never leave more than a few cities, pass through a few viscount domains, and even visiting a marquis domain, which is considered visiting a major city.
Layton's story isn't entirely without flaws; he only wrote stories that favored certain people... about inter-demon relationships, and he basically didn't mention anything about the environment or local customs.
When asked about local delicacies, they would say, "What good food is there in that lousy old place? It's just dried meat and dried vegetables."
Everyone thought about it and agreed. What good food could there be in such a freezing place? Just dried vegetables and dried meat, which are easy to preserve, right?
Why would you want to eat frozen food every day?
A cold environment means it is not suitable for the normal survival of demons, and the entire food chain will be changed due to the cold.
Plants and insects have difficulty surviving, so low-level demons also have difficulty surviving. Food is scarce, so even high-level demons have difficulty finding food, which is why there are few high-level demons.
Although there are quite a few demons who can adapt to the cold, those are cold regions after all. How could the number of demons be higher than that of demons in regions with normal temperatures?
That's unreasonable!
As if they had decided to drink until they were completely drunk, the demons drank until late at night, becoming completely incoherent.
Now that he couldn't go back even if he wanted to, he simply collapsed and fell asleep in the meeting room.
The demon race's wine is specially made for demons. It contains not only the alcohol that is commonly known, but is also brewed from fruits that are enough to make demons drunk.
Even those with a tenacity of seventy or eighty were completely drunk. Ultimately...
If an ordinary human were to take that bite, they would probably die instantly.
Layton wasn't actually affected by the alcohol, but he was just pretending to be crazy and drunk.
The purpose was to wait until all the demons were completely drunk.
"Tell me...! Tell me the truth, Brother Sika! Want to join us, [Rock Solid]!" Stone Rhino said with a drunken laugh. 4
"This……"
Layton seemed to have suddenly detected the keyword;
"Alright! Let's talk somewhere else!" Zero
"Okay! I understand!" Shi Xi laughed heartily, swaying as he stood up and pulled Layton along. (5)
Layton was also pulled up, and he casually picked up the bag on the ground and slung it over his shoulder.
Shi Xi ignored his casual gesture and simply pulled him outside.
Inside the "box" in the bag, Miru leaned against Lycorina and fell asleep, while Lycorina leaned against Anyi and fell asleep, though Anyi leaned against the side of the box.
Layton's comment startled the two awake.
With the backpack tilted to one side, Miluko was piled on top of Lycorina, leaving Annie squeezed at the very bottom.
An Yi: "..."
It's so crowded. Next time, maybe we should just change the box to a three-room design.
"Alright, it's quiet here now." Shi Xi led Layton to a quiet alley behind the venue.
It was already late at night, and most of these giant beasts were resting at night, so there were almost no traces of them on the streets at midnight, let alone in a small alley.
Should I say... the main street?
“I know there are some things Brother Sika doesn’t want to say in front of his brothers.”
It's just the two of us here now, so give me a heads-up!
"Stay? Or leave?" Stone Rhino asked with a drunken laugh, his arm around Layton's shoulder, hot breath coming from his nostrils.
Layton felt a surge of excitement.
The current situation was not in line with the plan; it was a sudden idea of his to ask Shi Xi to speak privately.
Unexpectedly, they took the bait?
To his even greater surprise, Shi Xi not only took the bait, but also led Layton deeper and deeper, almost to a place where none of his men would notice.
So... it's about time to make a move?
However, Layton wanted to buy himself some time before taking action.
We need to go even further!
"To be honest, Brother Alek, I am a wanderer and have no intention of staying anywhere."
Having witnessed your strength, I want to fight against even more powerful opponents!
