Chapter 412: Mead Carnival
The two looked at the map and discussed it for a long time.
They proposed several plans, but in the end they failed to get unanimous approval.
Because they all have loopholes more or less.
Whether you want to escape by climbing up the high wall, sneaking through the main entrance, or breaking through from the front, it is impossible to do it.
As for underground passages, they don't exist - at least they didn't find out about them.
"Nao, although they are somewhat wary of you, they don't want you directly, right?" Erina asked: "Did they mention you by the way when they posted my reward order? There is no portrait of you. right?"
"Ahaha... I'm sorry. I'm wanted too." Nao smiled bitterly, scratching his rabbit ears and replied: "It's just that my wanted amount is much less than yours. It's a hundred times worse."
"Nani?!" Erina heard this and exclaimed: "You are so worthless! Is it because the rabbit meat sold here is so cheap?"
"It's not that I'm worthless, it's better to say that you are too expensive." Nao Nishida looked at Erina with a smile and praised: "As expected of a young lady! Even here, her worth is so high."
"I would rather no one pays attention to me." Erina suddenly felt helpless, and even her tone became discouraged: "So? How much am I worth?"
"Thirty thousand gold coins."
"Wha... what?" Erina was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Isn't it too expensive?! In other words, if you catch me, you can buy a hundred dumplings... This is enough to make people who originally wanted to protect us The price is such that anyone can be tempted by money!”
"That's true, but converting it into dumplings is a bit too weird." Nao complained: "Anyway, I think it's better to go out at night. This way, it's not easy for people to see their appearance, and pedestrians will also Much less...but there are some things that can only be done during the day. Leave it to me then!"
"Hey? Are you going out by yourself? How can that be okay!" Erina insisted: "I want to go too. Wouldn't it be better to go separately to find out the news?"
"Your reward orders are posted everywhere. Mine are relatively less. And in terms of covert action capabilities, I am better, right? So it's best to leave it to me."
"Don't underestimate me!" Erina became a little dissatisfied: "I have survived well alone, right? So it doesn't matter even if I look for information by myself! Besides, this is just an excuse. It's easy to be discovered. In terms of level, you should not be any worse than me! After all, you are worth ten dumplings!"
"That... is one. I told you it was a hundred times worse."
"What! Did I make a miscalculation? Thirty thousand divided by one hundred, that's three thousand, right? The average price of a dumpling is three hundred gold coins, that's ten dumplings!"
"Erina-chan. Thirty thousand... seems like thirty times one hundred?"
"Huh? Really?"
"Yes."
Erina counted on her fingers for a long time.
I finally figured it out and blushed a little.
However, Erina never admits her mistakes.
Therefore, she directly changed the subject and began to continue discussing with Nao Nishida how to take out Hawke City.
"I suggest that we lurk for a few more days." At the end of the discussion, because there was really no feasible way, Nishida Nao proposed: "There is no one here who is willing to help us. Because he is wanted, talking to anyone will be accompanied by It’s dangerous, so it’s better to lie dormant for a while and wait for the festival before setting off.”
"Holiday?" Erina was stunned for a moment: "Is there a holiday coming soon in Hawke City?"
"Yes. When I went to the street, I noticed that the festival atmosphere was very strong, so I asked someone to inquire about it, and found out that it will be the Mead Carnival soon! Then the whole city will be in trouble. There will be many tourists from outside, and there will be many Masks were worn at nighttime carnivals and balls.”
"I see." Erina pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "In other words, the Kamen Rider of Justice will appear, right? Then we can just follow him and kill him!"
"Really~ I think so too?" Nao Nishida stared at Erina with a smile, and said: "Then let's do this... Erina-chan...?"
"...Sorry, I was joking! Keep talking."
"Actually, that's pretty much it. What I mean is, let's get a mask, put it on, and sneak out of the city that day. Since it's a festival, covering your face won't be suspicious, right?"
"Nao, can it go so well?" After hearing this, Erina hesitated: "I must not be able to get out of the city gate. When encountering someone with their face covered, the guards will definitely ask to reveal their true colors for inspection. Especially in a city where there are many people like this. During festivals when people cover their faces, the security of the city gates will definitely be stricter.”
"I don't plan to just sneak out of the city like this. I'm just saying that when we arrive at those areas with particularly strict security, such as before the exit, we can maintain a mask-wearing posture so that we won't be too wary by the passing guards, right?"
"Hmm... but the problem still exists, right?" Erina took another bite of the apple whose flesh had begun to change color, and asked worriedly: "We still can't get out of the city gate. So even if we can get close to it, there's no point. Isn't it? That's right? No, you have to rely on your strength to fight out. Reinforcements are difficult to deal with."
"I was just joking before. How can we really make a breakthrough head-on?"
Nao said this with a serious expression.
"I'm just giving Erina-chan an idea! It will be safer for us to travel through the city on the night of the Mead Carnival. A series of preparations before leaving the city gate can be done more conveniently at this time. As long as you don't Anything that attracts too much attention should not be noticed by the guards! Right?"
"So... we need to figure out how to leave the city before that night, and what specific preparations we need to make. We will start taking action after nightfall when many people are wearing masks. Right?" Erina thought for a moment, He nodded: "I think it's okay. But there's another problem..."
"What's the problem, Erina-chan? Are you worried that masks will be banned during the carnival this year because you are wanted?"
"As expected of Nao, you have already guessed what I am going to ask." Erina said seriously: "If we are not sure that we can cover our faces that day, then the action will be meaningless."
"Uh huh... That's a problem. I'll go find out if there are any similar notices in the next two days! Of course, we also need to collect information that will help us formulate a plan." Nao said with a smile: "Erina-chan is at home well. Just hide it.”
"No, I'm going too." Erina shook her head: "It's easier for us to find useful information if we split up."
