Chapter 75: So You’re Really Pissed Off, Huh
「Is everyone safe…?」
The gold-rank adventurer, Mitt the thief, was worrying about his comrades who were thrown by the No Life King.
According to his party’s mage Belleaile, the secret of the No Life King was actually an extremely powerful illusion magic.
If that was the truth, then when his comrades were tossed into the air was also an illusion, but…
「Then, why am I the only one who wasn’t affected by the illusion? Is this also part of the illusion? U~h… I really have no idea…」
He really had no idea why that No Life King spared him from that fate.
And the illusion didn’t disappear no matter how much he waited.
The scenery unfolded before him was the usual scenery of the bustling city.
It didn’t look like an illusion no matter how he thought about it.
「…Maybe I should try to see their situation.」
After making sure that he was camouflaged to the best of his ability, he ran at his highest speed to the mainstreet.
He arrived at the rampart that surrounded the city in the blink of an eye and used the rough surface to jump over.
For a thief of his caliber, this kind of feat was child’s play.
After arriving at the top of the rampart, he jumped up toward the ground outside of the rampart, landing as light as a feather.
At that moment…
「WORLD BREAK (BIG BANG STRIKE)!」
「THIS IS MY EVERYTHING―STRONG・ TRUE FIST THRUST!」
His ears picked up a familiar voice.
An explosive noise resounded in the place.
「Ilran?! And Ronde too!! Could it be that the one they fought was…?!」
Mitt was already familiar with his comrade’s voice.
Mitt went in a hurry toward the direction from where that sound came from while maintaining his camouflaged state.
And soon enough, he found the figures of his comrades.
「…Eh?」
What happened right there was something beyond his wildest expectations.
For some reason, Belleaile was knocked out in an extremely embarrassing posture.
The ground on both of his sides were gouged out as if he just barely dodged the incoming attack.
Ilran and Ronda were standing still with bewildered looks on their faces, and Mitt didn’t find anyone else aside from them.
—Where was the No Life King?
「Belle… aile? Could it be that he… really showed an illusion to all of us?」
「W-Wait, Ilran-dono, this might be his trap too…」
「Kuh… seriously, just which one is the right one?!」
Ronda tried his best to stop Ilran who was about to approach Belleaile. Ilran, on the other hand, could only voice his frustration.
A while later, keeping their distance from the unconscious Belleaile, two of them felt that the current situation was strange.
「U~h… what shall we do… with this situation?」
No one dared to make a move.
Believing in his instinct as a thief, Mitt approached them.
But then, his sharp eyesight and wide range of vision as a thief could see the thing that was flying above his comrades.
「…Eh?」
It was a stark-naked man.
He was flying in the air with his naked lower-half toward where Mitt stood.
That man might’ve had no worries since he thought that no one could see him even if he was flying naked at such a height.
In fact, he looked like nothing more than a dot in the sky with normal human eyesight.
Unfortunately, Mitt’s eyesight could see even his “D” between his crotch that was dangling freely without a care in the air.
Fortunately, Mitt’s eyesight wasn’t sharp enough to the point of being able to see the No Life King’s expression.
「…Let’s pretend that I never saw that.」

===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===
The port city finally came into sight.
Having gotten used to my flight skill, I landed on the highway that was free of danger.
Since the ship would depart tomorrow, I still had some time to kill.
Since I shouldn’t attract unwanted attention by landing so close to the city, I chose this rather faraway and desolate spot and planned to take a walk from this position.
Naturally, I had already fetched some replacement clothes.
I got a resupply in the city along the way.
Naturally, I didn’t forget to take a robe with a hood to hide my face too.
「Has the female Holy Knight… arrived?」
Honestly speaking, I was really nervous.
I mean, I left her behind, leaving only a simple letter to tell her about my plan to travel alone to the port city.
She must be extremely pissed off right now…
…Yup, just imagining the angry look on her face was enough to send a chill running down my spine.
For someone with abysmal communication power like me, that situation was even worse than death.
I was really careless by thinking that it would be okay if we were going separate ways and regrouping later in the port city, but… How could I forget the fact that I was going to face her wrath once we regrouped…
I was going back and forth in the middle of the highway upon realizing the hell that was about to come.
「Hey, stop moving around like a suspicious person.」
「~??!」
I was really startled when I heard a voice come from behind.
When I turned around really slowly, the one who spoke to me was the number one person I didn’t want to meet right now―the female Holy Knight.
「Ah… uhm… you see…」
Here it came, my condition would relapse, making me lose the ability to speak to another person even if the other party was my acquaintance when I didn’t see them for a while.
It only got worse since there was a high possibility that the other party was pissed off.
「You… can’t talk properly again, huh.」
The female Holy Knight heaved a sigh with a dumbfounded look on her face.
「Quite a hardcore condition you got there. Wait, how did your clothes change again? Even that robe, it is different from the one you wore before.」
「Uhm…」
「…Well, it’s not like you were involved in some sort of misunderstanding again, right?」
I shook my head when she asked, glaring at me with eyes full of suspicion.
I got involved in a little skirmish with those adventurers, but… it really wasn’t my fault.
Eh, wait a minute, wasn’t she going to scold me for departing on my own?
Could it be that she… wasn’t angry with me?
「Oh, whatever… You, how dare you leave me behind and depart on your own! Are you trying to escape from me?!」
…She was angry about it after all.
