Chapter 58
I set Minea’s and the others rescue as the highest priority and immediately took action . I dropped down to the floor from the roof . I hid in the shadows and headed towards the residence . I took it slow, looked around; Careful to listen to my surroundings . The target was three stories tall, colored white . The front of the building had a line of windows on each level, but only a few were lit .
I went around to the rear of the residence, away from the lit rooms so I wouldn’t be seen . I ran swiftly up the wall to the roof . According to the assailants’ conversation, Mina and the others were locked up in the dungeon within the residence . However, all the windows on the ground floor were guarded with metal bars . Without proper preparation, I wasn’t confident in my ability to get through them .
I chose a slanting vertical window on the roof as my entry point . The window’s frame appeared to be made from wood . I took a quick look to be sure no one was watching me from the Company’s building across from me before I made my entry . I applied pressure to the window’s lock after that . With the help of the power suit, I broke the lock . With no knowledge about lockpicking, I could only break it apart .
I entered the room below, which appeared to be a storage room . I was ready for someone to come check out the sound, but no one came . It seemed I had successfully broken in .
I activated the TSS and displayed the map to check my position . With its capability to display anything within a radius of 150 meters, I was able to instantly see the third floor’s layout .
Once I found the staircase that led to the floor below on the map, I brandished my Five-seveN along with the silencer . I attached the silencer to the pistol and then pulled out my electro-baton from my waist; extending it . I kept the baton’s strike surface faced up in my left hand while I kept the sidearm in my right . This was so it wouldn’t affect my accuracy .
[E/N: Chuuuuunnniiiiiii . ]
The hallway had no lights on so it seemed like the floor was not used on a daily basis . Without making noises as best I could, I continued through the hallway until I reached the stairwell .
I left the room into an unlit hallway . It seemed like the floor was not used on a daily basis . With as little noise as possible, I continued down the hallway until I reached the staircase . I peeked into it down to the second floor and it was lit . I held my breath to check for any noise . I could hear a vague conversation . If the conversation was being held in the same building, but it was hard to hear; it must have been in a soundproof room .
I went back down the hall on the third floor to the spot above said room .
“Mr . President, it seems like Marida Company has received the message . ” Someone said .
“Good to hear . By tomorrow, the Priority buyer papers for the festival will be mine . ” Yagorche’s president said .
“Congratulations, Sir . By achieving this, your status will grow for sure . ” The person said again .
“Did Runold head there already?” The company president asked .
“Group leader Runold left the company not long ago, saying something about bringing back the ticket and Malta’s head back by Dawn . ” The person replied .
“Good, good . As for the girls, sell them to Venehll’s brothel . ” The company president said .
“Yes sir . ” The person said .
The conversation ended there . I heard the man leave the room and head elsewhere . Yagorche’s president seemed to stay in the room . Maybe it was his officer or bedroom? The sound of glass could be heard from within . He may be drinking something .

Enjoy drowning in your dream . I’ll crush everything here and now .
[E/N: Soooo chunnniiii . ]
I moved once again and headed down the stairs as I checked the map . With a slight sound, the rooms with people began to light up . There was a weird expression I heard during the conversation about Minea and the rest . He had told the person to take the girls . The maid was a young lady, but the guards were male . There might be more women involved in this event…
It seemed like I ended up with extra work . However, once I heard they would be sold to a brothel, I just could keep myself from helping them too . The stairs that led to the next floor was separated from the previous stairs and at another spot on the floor . I carefully advanced through the hallway as I checked each room for signs of people inside .
[E/N: . . . . . . . . . . . . . Don’t ask . I just edit . ]
I saw the stairs, but there were two guards by it . What should I do… Killing them would be easy, but any patrol would notice something was wrong if they didn’t see them . Until I could find the girls, I wanted to avoid a fight . The stairs were by the front door to the residence . Any sound there would definitely reach their ears . As long as I didn’t step on the ground of the first floor, it would not map it so I had no idea where the entrance to the dungeon was…
I stopped halfway down the stairs . With my pistol in hand, I pointed it towards a candle stand further down the hallway . I shot the stand at 20 meters . The candle was 5cms in diameter . The candle broke and fell to the floor .
[E/N: Look, man, I’m trying… . ]
“Hey, what was that sound right now?” One of the guards said .
“Look at that, the candle stand broke! Go and get water fast before it starts a fire!” The other guard said .
The two guards standing by the staircase panicked and went to put out the flames that were beginning to emerge .
The two guards standing before the staircase panicked and went to put out the flames that were emerging . I went down the rest of the way down onto the first floor where the guards had been previously . Now I could map the first floor . I looked for the stairs that lead to the dungeon and found a hidden room in the furthermost room from me . After I checked the rooms one by one, I found a small one with the staircase icon .
Luckily, the room was located in a different direction of where the guards headed . I silently avoided the guards and advanced towards the room . I reached the room beside the room, which was a hidden room; however, I heard what sounded to be a guard moving around on the inside . It’s just one though . Compared to all the trouble I had to go through to reach here, it was nothing .
I turned the doorknob slowly, not to make noise . It wasn’t locked . I held my pistol in my right hand, burst through the door with my left hand on the door . The guard inside noticed me but I dropped him with two shots to the chest . The guard had been sitting on the chair drinking something . Now he laid on the floor along with the chair and did not move a muscle . I kept the crosshairs on him as I approached and looked over him .
No problems at all .
I relaxed my stance, closed the door, and searched for the path that led to the hidden room . As I thought, the door that led to the hidden room was not shown on the map . I searched the wall where the door should be; left to right .
Then I found it .

I checked the bookshelf and found a ring that hung to the wall behind the books . I pulled on the ring and the wall slid horizontally and opened a path into the hidden room . The hidden room was built with stone bricks . There was nowhere to go back down the stairs inside . Down it, two voices could be heard .
“Ugh… I’m so bored…” Someone said .
“Just shut up . What complaints can you have about this job? You just sit there and drink . ” Someone else retorted .
“I mean, we have naked women in front of our eyes and we can’t even touch them . I’d rather be stuck inside with them” The bord man complained .
“You better not touch them . They’re going to be sold to a high-quality brothel . If you screw this up, Runold will tear you apart for sure .
I snuck down the stairs .
“Huh? Is it already time for a shift change… Wait, who are you?”
“Never saw this guy’s face, a guard from Yargorche’s?”
I didn’t bother hiding and stood there boldly in front of them . I finally mapped the dungeon . Its makeup was one room for the guards and three cells deeper in past them .
I ignored the guards who were attempting to figure out who I was and looked for the keys to open the cells .
“Are those the keys for the cells?” I asked .
I pointed at the three keys that hang on the wall and asked the guards .
Y-Yeah, that’s right . You’re taking them upstairs?” The guard asked . ‘
“Yeah, I am . ” I said .
“Oh come on! I wanted to drink some more of their breast milk!” One of the guards complained .
Aghh, I’m done with this . I couldn’t stand it anymore .
I aimed at the guard who sat in the chair in front of me, drew the full power of the power suit, and smashed his face in with a roundhouse kick . I’ve never done something like that in my previous world, however, my current body acted on the actions I pictured in my mind . I was thankful I had this body now from the bottom of my heart .
[E/N: No, son, you have a suit that does it for you . ]

The guard was kicked into the wall along with the chair which exploded and he didn’t move afterward .
“Hey! What’s go-!” I didn’t let him finish his sentence .
I shot him in the face then emptied the entire magazine into him . I changed the magazine and headed into the next area with the cells . The first cell had two female humans, teenagers perhaps? Aside from their panties, they were naked . Startled by my presence, they covered their breasts with their hands as they pushed further into the cell .
I proceeded to check the next cell . Inside were two demi-humans who appeared to be in their twenties . They were in the same state as the other two girls, but they didn’t slink away in fear . They didn’t cover their breasts like the others and stared back with fierce-looking eyes . They appeared to be twins with only two different hair colors .
I approached the third cell and looked inside .
“Shaft-sama!” The maid called out .
The moment she saw me, the maid from Marida’s residence called out . Minea was inside the cell as well . They both were in the same state as the others . Embraced inbetween the maid’s breasts was Minea who hid from me . Upon hearing her the maid’s voice, she slowly turned her head as tears came .
I opened the jail cell and went inside .
“Are you guys okay? Where are the guards that were with you?” I asked .
“Shaft-sama, how did you manage to get in here… As soon as we were attacked . . the guards…” The maid’s voice trailed off .
“I see… Umm…” I said .
“My name is Meltia . ” The maid said politely .
[E/N: You really like M . ]
“Okay, Meltia, can you walk with Minea?” I asked her .
“Yes, I can” She replied .
Meltia was a normal human in her mid-twenties . Her air had been tied back at the residence, but now it was unfurled . She must have had her hair clip taken off when she was put in here . With Minea holding tight to her, she seemed to have stopped crying . She still shook with fear, but it was also mid-November so she must have been cold .
It might turn into particles like when I gave Ashley-san my pistol, but I took my jacket off and covered Minea’s shoulder with it . For a moment, nothing happened . Then the hand grenade and FMG9 disappeared from inside the coat . It seemed only weapons were affected . Its fine as long as the coat didn’t disappear .
I activated the TSS, summoned 4 more magazines for my pistol and AS-VAL, which entered the pockets of the german suit I was wearing .
“Let’s go . Try and keep Minea from seeing the surroundings as much as possible . I don’t want her nightmare to be any worst than it is . ” I told Meltia .
Meltia looked me in the eyes and nodded .
“Are you guys also coming? It seems like they want to sell you all to a brothel if you don’t come . Well, you can always wait for another chance to escape, but I’m not sure there will be one . ” I directed the question for the rest of the girls .
“Who are you? We’re not interest in being taken away to an assassin guild or anything of those sorts . ” One of the beast girls said .
“My name is Shaft, a guard for Marida’s Company . We’re leaving this place and heading back there . ” I replied .
“Marida’s company? I don’t really think they would hire a suspicious-looking guy like you there” The beast girl retorted .
“If you can’t trust me then I’m okay with that, what about you girls?” I turned to the human girls .
“Will you really save us?” They asked .
“I’ll take us out of here and bring you to the company, after that I don’t know what will happen” I replied .
“We’re happy with just that, please take us along!” They said .
These two were more than willing to come along, now what about the beast girls? I gave them another glance .
“… Please take us along with you as well, I beg of you!” The other beast-woman said .
“Older sister! Do you really believe this black-masked guy?!” The doubtful one asked .
“Staying here and waiting is just going to lead to our death anyway!” The older sister said .
“Seems like we came to an agreement then . ” I said . ’
I opened both their cells and let them out . With this, the part came to 6 people, but there shouldn’t be any problem .
