Chapter 73 Hide-and-seek (3)

There was a moment of silence.

The young count and the butler were also watching what was happening outside the window.

Henry Camilton.

The academy’s trainee, who came out of the blue, was walking on the training ground at a leisurely pace.

What about Mutai?

As if he had become a guest, he was following Henry awkwardly.

“You’re looking for it.”

“That’s what I thought, actually.”

“If you’re thinking that, take it out without regret. That way, I’ll have some reference.”

The count grumbled, and the butler nodded as if he was sorry.

The count gestured as if it were a joke, crossed his legs and rested his chin.

I looked down at Henry.

“It’ll take a few days. Why are you acting like that all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know.”

“Without regret.”

“I thought you were thinking of the Academy’s training camp.”

“It’s possible.”

Count Levi was once a trainee at the Academy.

The academy’s training camp is different from here.

Generally, it is open all over the place, and there are not many places to hide.

“But when I saw that, I didn’t withdraw the offer.….”

“That’s probably why he’sir.

“It looks like it, so you’ve been running all the way here alone. In a car with clumsy bravado. That’s a headache.”

Moreover, Henry wasn’t even looking for it hard.

Just wandering around the training ground, like a walk.

“Go to Mutai.”

“What should I check?”

“Roughly, how it works.”

“I see.”

The butler left the count’s office. I thought I’d get more accurate information, and then the count would be convinced.

I mean, conviction on the assumption that Henry Camilton is a classic moron.

It was then.

“……Huh?”

The count untied his legs. He looked out of the window with his eyes wide open, which had been blank.

“I found one.”

It was a while ago that Henry entered a building.

He was alone when he went in, but two when he came out.

An official, who seemed embarrassed, scratched his head and approached Mutai.

“Was he lucky?”

The count muttered in a blank voice.

It was because Henry’s movements were so natural.

It was just walking like a walk and looking at the interesting scenery.

But after a short period of time.

“…Did you find another one?”

The count swept his hair back at the sight of the second executive.

“No, wasn’t the executives hiding properly?”

He continued to talk to himself.

It was an incomprehensible development.

If the executives were “hidden,” it was impossible to find two in such a short time.

Even if Count Levi himself goes out.

One more time there.

When the third executive was found, Count Levi laid back with confidence.

“You weren’t looking for it. It must have been a different rule.”

It just doesn’t make any sense.

How the hell are we supposed to find people hiding there?

Smirking, the count decided to wait for the butler.

Apart from being surprised, I was wondering what they were doing.

“Master.”

“Oh, you’re finally back. So, what are those guys doing?”

Bingle!

The count swerved around the chair.

The facial expression was full of curiosity.

But as soon as he saw the butler’s expression, the count sensed that something was going against expectations.

“The executive has to hide, and Henry Camilton has to find them. The time limit is 30 minutes.”

“…I have to find it? Any clue? You have to make a sound every hour.….”

“There wasn’t.”

“That doesn’t make sense.”

“But that’s what Captain Mutai said.”

“Why did he lie?”

“…….”

“Yeah, it can’t be. Really? But I’ve just found three.”

“You’ve found another one now.”

Whoosh.

The count’s chair turned again.

It was as the butler said.

Outside the window, Henry Camilton was seen looking for an additional executive.

There was silence again. But it was a different kind of silence than when I first encountered Henry.

“…What do you think?”

“There must have been a hidden move.”

“To ‘find’ something?”

“That’s what he said to Captain Mutai. The forest is home to bandits, and I wanted to make sure I could find the bandits hiding there…….”

“You must have gained confidence. I mean, me too. You said the bet was half an hour long, didn’t you?”

“It was.”

“It’s not important how. What’s important is that there’s something of its own, and once you’ve seen it……I found it again. Are there four left?”

“That’s right.”

The count looked pleased before he knew it.

“It won’t be too late to think about it after the bet is over. What are you doing? I didn’t bring a chair.”

***

“How did you know?”

“I’d say it’s a feeling. It’s my ability, but I don’t know exactly.”

“What do you mean feeling……….”

“You can go to Captain Mutai.”

Henry sent one of the executives standing in a puzzled face toward Mutai.

This is the 8th one.

Of the total ten executives, only two were left.

“It’s been seven minutes. We found eight, and we have two left. With the current flow, I can finish it in 10 minutes. You’re moving a lot more than I thought, aren’t you?”

It’s said to be the general public, but it’s just the officers of the guards.

He had a lot of patience and was used to enduring discomfort.

Thanks to this, Henry had to find them, relying on the tiny movements of Mana.

“I wouldn’t have found it the first time I got this ability. Their movements are small, and Mana’s flow goes back to normal in an instant. You might think it’s similar to a fish by the lake.”

A wave of fish movement.

We could only find the executives if we caught that moment without missing it.

The first three were actually not difficult.

As many as ten people, we could find movement everywhere.

The level of difficulty increased with each decrease in people, and the remaining two were the most demanding among executives.

“Probably.”

Henry said, looking around with squinty eyes.

“The other two will be dead breathing. It’s a difference of mind regardless of your skills. You didn’t think it was something to be nervous about at first, and maybe you thought it was a light prank.”

Even Mutai, the captain of the guard, did.

Because I thought Henry’s suggestion was ridiculous.

Of course executives thought alike.

“But now, if you were hiding, wouldn’t you hear the outside? Eight people were caught in that short time. Now you feel a sense of crisis.”

Not a little movement is allowed.

It would be too much all day, but the bet was only half an hour long.

Once the executives changed their minds, the difficulty of bets had increased by several times.

“However.”

Henry moved on again.

“Thanks to their hard work, my reading of Mana seems to have improved little by little. That’s it. On the roof, I wouldn’t have found it easily without this snow.”

[Wow, there are already 9 people]

I want to die because it’s so lame.…][Look at his face]

As soon as I climbed up the ladder.

Henry made eye contact with a glum executive.

“You can go back to Captain Mutai and stand by. We’ll have a chance to tell you later how we found it.”

“…I see.”

The official, who was flat on the roof, nodded awkwardly.

Henry trudged down the ladder first, and the following executive trudged along.

“There’s only one left. I’m afraid I’ll have to give up the 10-minute mission.”

It’s already been nine minutes.

The remaining time is 1 minute.

The last official must have heard the conversation a while ago, and he must be crouching down nervously.

“I’d rather go up again. I need to take it easy.”

Henry climbed up the ladder.

I was going to look through the whole training ground on the roof.

Anyway, Mana’s movement could be seen without being blocked by obstacles, but it was to secure a wider view.

But the next moment.

“I just understood why the executive was so surprised. It wasn’t because you were caught in your position.”

On the roof, Henry could see the ‘movement’.

It was a very feeble move.

I mean, it’s just an act of unknowingly astonishment.

“I didn’t know there were two people in the same place.”

[It was too dark under the lamp][He must be so nervous right now][Going down and coming back]

The location was right next to the executive we had just found.

Behind a pile of boxes.

As he approached him, Henry was able to find the last executive curled up with his hands covered in his mouth.

“Huh.”

“This is the last time. You can go back to Captain Mutai.”

“…Did I make a sound?”

“That’s not true.”

“Then how…….”

“You’ve been hiding well enough. It would have been hard to find it in the normal way.”

“…Artifact?”

“No, let’s just go back.”

The last executive stared at Henry and nodded again and again.

It was a process of convincing myself.

Henry said he hid well enough, and he didn’t leave much room for what he thought.

“It’s over. The reaction seems to have given us the right impression as planned, and let’s see. It took exactly 9 minutes and 55 seconds? Then…….”

Henry looked at the chat window with significant eyes.

The next moment.

……

The “reasons” that had been such a big fight began to pour out.

***

Count Levi.

Eleven executives, including Mutai, gathered at the guard’s headquarters.

The faces of the executives varied.

Some people said they couldn’t believe the situation, and some looked stunned as if they were wondering how they did it.

But what they all had in common was that their eyes were on one person.

“…How did you do that?”

Of course it was Mutai who started the game.

He represented the curiosity of executives as a leader in both territorial and territorial diseases.

Henry Camilton nodded loudly and said.

“You’ll be curious. But before I explain, let me ask you first. How did you feel?”

“I’m embarrassed.”

“Same here.”

“It’s amazing, but maybe not after hearing why.”

“I feel the same way.”

Answers popped out from place to place.

That was a perfectly understandable, normal answer.

Henry nodded with satisfaction.

“Let me tell you this first. It’s not an artifact. I didn’t do anything cowardly. I turned around and waited until Captain Mutai gave me a signal.”

“…I’ll guarantee that.”

“Thank you.”

With a nod to Mutai, Henry got to the point.

“The reason I was able to find you is simple. It’s the same context that I asked you to move other soldiers. I am.”

Henry shrugged.

“I just followed your footsteps.”

“What do you mean……..”

Mutai narrowed his forehead. Other executives were no different.

Footprints.

The training ground was a place where thousands of soldiers carried out training every day, and as such, it was covered with thousands of footprints.

Even if they followed the footsteps, it was impossible to find everyone in 10 minutes.

“Actually, it’s better to say it’s a trace. It would have taken some time if the only clue was footprints.”

“Are you saying we left a trail?”

“Yes, a lot of that, too.”

Now the executives are closing their eyes as a group.

To them, Henry wedged in.

“It may sound arrogant, but to me, the traces you left were clearly visible.”
