Chapter 393
I have no name .
However, I am called shadow .
I also existed as such .
Of course, when I’m in the city, they don’t call me Shadow-san or Shadowchi .
Shadow is a code name .
Yes, I’m a spy .
A person who infiltrates a certain location and steals information .
I was ordered by my boss to infiltrate Shashaato City .
The target is the newly founded Ifrus School .
Whether it is great scholars or teachers, they are gathering those who are considered as authorities in magic .
My purpose is to know what they are doing there .
I disguised myself as a good merchant .
Thus, I headed for Shashaato City leaving traces of being a merchant in several cities along the way .
Curry is delicious .
This is the result of my espionage job since I arrived at Shashaato City six months ago .
No, not only curry but deep-fried food too .
I think hamburger is a culinary revolution .
What’s more, if you add cheese to it… . . the deliciousness rises .
It also reaches another level if you put fried egg on top .
In any case, Big Roof Shashaato is just next to Ifrus School .
The foods at the restaurant called Marla, who is the source of those foods, are all delicious .
My head will definitely roll if I send a report like that .
My boss can’t take a joke .
Though I know that I have to do something, I can’t do anything .
After all, there’s no hole in the counterintelligence system of Ifrus School .
Even the school staffs rarely leave the school .
The number of people that can enter is limited .
Even if you have business with someone inside, you’ll only manage to go until a special reception area .
The reason why I’ve been reporting on food for half a year was because the staffs of Ifrus School eat at Marla .
It’s not perfect because some staffs chose Marla’s delivery service but I was able to identify quite a few people .
At the same time, I was able to confirm the number of spies in this city .
The country I came from, the demon king’s kingdom, and the other twelve countries, the spies from them combined are more than 200 .
Since I was able to notice that much, there might be more .
Everyone is trying to investigate Ifrus School like me .
If I can cooperate with them, we might be able to do something but we are all spies from our respective country so it is impossible to get along .
That’s what a spy is .
However, there’s no need to be hostile .
Even if they are from different affiliations, we have the same mission .
I won’t do pointless things .
We can even build a mutual trust relationship .
「6th shadow people bowling tournament」
Last time, I lost badly .
This time, I’ll aim to be the champion .
Oh, I’m not playing around .
This is also a mission .
This is like collecting information from other spies .
I have to check the weight of the ball .
Also, I have to find out who was the person in charge of waxing the day before .
It unexpectedly has an effect .
I obtained an important information .
It seems like a baseball team composed of staffs from Ifrus School was established .
Baseball is presently a hot sport in Shashaato City .
Just watching the game is already fun .
I personally like teams that rely on running power .
I don’t hate teams that are good at swinging but those kinds of teams can’t easily win .
For a team to win, the batter plays a solid role .
The staffs of Ifrus School are now involved in sport… .
I gazed at the spies around me .
It seems like they are thinking the same .
A baseball team called Shadow People Whale Army was formed .
Fierce Tiger Demon King Army is strong .
Damn it .
What is that pitcher?
I never thought that a beastkin boy can throw that great .
It might be because of the catcher’s instruction .
The catcher of this team is amazing .
He also looks similar to the former king of a neighboring country . Is he a relative or something?
Even if you hit the ball, their defense is solid .
In the end, we lost without getting a single point .
Frustrating .
But we were invited by the team manager over Marla for a get together meal .
We talked about our present weaknesses and future strategies .
Yeah, none of us is good at catching a ground ball .
We have to practice more .
Eh?
The pitcher boy is a school teacher?
Amazing .
A big news came out .
I was able to confirm Lulushi’s existence at Ifrus School .
Lulushi Loo
Race: Vampire
Alias: Blood-Sucking Princess
A great authority on magic, magic tools, and medicine .
She’s been hiding for a while but when did she come to the demon king’s kingdom?
Well, it is true that in the country of humans, demi human’s treatment is not good . For that reason, could it be that her movement was restricted before so she looked for a place she can move freely?
Kuh .
I’m sort of her fan .
But as a mere spy, it’s frustrating that I can’t do anything at all .
Lulushi’s moves are conspicuous .
She suddenly bought a ship under construction and employed a large number of personnel to do something about that ship .
Are they trying to complete the ship?
Many people from Ifrus School are involved .
I intended to infiltrate as a carpenter in disguise but changed my mind .

A spy disguised as a carpenter was caught before me .
This means that the security is strict .
In other words, they are making something very important .
I must not take my eyes off this .
… . .
I did not intend to take my eyes off it but before I knew it, a large number of elves had mixed in .
Where did those elves with dark skin come from?
And what’s with their construction speed?
Their construction speed is on a whole new level .
They can take the number one position in the construction industry in no time .
They are superb carpenters .
Oh, security has become even tighter .
It seems impossible to see the construction .
I have to think about something .
It’s the 70th day after Lulushi appears .
I finally found out what Lulushi and the Ifrus School is doing .
Airship research .
To be honest, that’s already an old topic .
It is nothing unusual .
I look into the experiment site that is a top secret site .
Though I was surprised when it came out of the sea, that’s it .
What do I mean?
The ship floated up and I thought it was successful but… . it was a failure .
It fell apart and sank into the sea .
The usual result .
So far, airship research has been conducted countless of times .
However, no one succeeded .
Though it was amazing since it even flew for a short time .
What I should investigate next is whether this can be completed and the construction cost of one ship .
Due to the failure of the experiment, confusion can be seen here and there .
Though it is indeed impossible to infiltrate Ifrus School, the important members who don’t go out have come out .
The staffs of the school, the information about this ship .

I did not miss a single piece of information .
Eh?
The others missed it?
It can’t be helped .
In this world, we should help each other .
I’ll give the information to those who missed it .
For the time being, I should also consider the possibility of false information .
However, the one who’ll decide that is not me but my boss .
Personally, I think that number is a little too big but I’m thinking as an outsider .
Also, it seems like the important parts of the airship were lost during the failed experiment .
The research continues but there won’t be an immediate result .
This is in line with the testimony collected from the seakins that were involved in salvaging the airship wreckage .
「There are two big balls . The great teacher is mourning before those . 」
Those big balls are probably an important part of the airship .
Are those magic stones?
Or magic tools?
If possible, I would like to recover even fragments but it seems like they have all been recovered .
Well, that’s natural .
For the time being, I can finally send a decent report to my boss .
I’ll send the breaking news first then send the detailed information .
Is this the end of my mission?
If possible, I would like to continue my espionage work in Shashaato City .
Before going home, I want to at least have a rematch against the Scholarly Spider Army created by the staff of Ifrus School .
We’re on a losing streak .
Also, I want to memorize how they do their diabolical pitch .
What’s a slider?
Can you really throw a ball like that just by changing the way you grip it?
I have no name .
I am an existence that can be called a shadow .
「Oi, shadowchi . The guys from Garret Kingdom are going home so we’re going to their farewell party . 」
「Eh? Seriously? I’m going to miss them . I mean, we’ll lose our catcher if they go home!」
I’m a spy .
