Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Cardan." After the two walked away, Arad approached Cardan cautiously.

"Are you really not going with us?" he asked Cardin with a suspicious look.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"The one who saved us. Wasn't it you? No, I'm still wondering if it was a dream, but I seem to remember seeing you. Although it was your back." Arad looked into Cardin's eyes with an ambiguous expression.

"If I had saved my seniors, I would have been more confident. It's a bit of a pity." Cardin replied slyly, shaking his head regretfully.

"Really? Ah~ No matter what, that's impossible. No matter what, let's meet at the academy? I must pretend to know when I see you!"

Arad agreed with Cardin, shook his head hastily, and walked towards Klose and Lucas.

"It looks like he woke up for a while. Luckily he was wearing a mask."

Left alone, Cardin looked at the backs of the three people for a moment, then put away his smile and looked up into the sky. His eyes were full of expectation.

"We have to get back to the academy as soon as possible."

Late at night, the "Cat's Dinner" pub was still deserted.

Huh... Looking at the empty pub, although it makes people want to sigh, the owner here is in a good mood and is whistling while cleaning the pub.

With a whistle, the cleaning work was finally finished and the door of the pub opened.

"Welcome... Oh? Mr. Cardin!" Jack Carter smiled happily and waved when he saw Cardin coming in.

"You came back later than expected? I was worried. No, I thought you were only going to your house. Where did you go?"

"Something. It was farther away than I thought. And it took a long time to get back." Cardin smiled as he walked into the tavern and walked naturally to the bar.

"I'm so glad you got back safely."

"Is it always so quiet here? I'm worried that the pub won't make money even if it moves to the capital because of me."

"Information merchants always meet to exchange information. You earn more than you think, so don't worry." Jack Carter smiled easily, put the cleaning tools into the warehouse, and walked into the kitchen immediately.

Jack Carter returned to the bar again, holding a glass of orange juice.

"Is everything okay at home?" Cardin did not answer Jay Carter's question immediately, but drank the orange juice slowly.

"What should I say?" Jack Carter did not doubt it. But there was no need to say everything.

Cardin replied as he finished his orange juice and placed the glass on the table.

"There are demons in the house."

"Demons... Demons? Why are there demons in Mr. Charlotte's house?"

"It seems to be related to the people who killed my father. I'm not sure, but..." Cardin brought his fingertips to his mouth and paused.

"Of course, this information is also secret."

"Are you not hurt? Are you okay? Your limbs look healthy, but how did you survive and come back?" Jack Carter jumped out from the bar, quickly checked Cardin's body, and asked in surprise.

"I look healthy. I was lucky and knocked it down." Of course, Cardin didn't knock it down himself, but it can be said that it was Luna who signed a contract with Cardin who knocked it down, so it's not wrong.

Jack Carter looked at Cardin in disbelief.

"Although he was a low-level demon, he was very difficult to deal with. I almost died."

"Anyway, it's a good thing." Then Jack Carter breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that Cardin came back alive. He took a deep breath and returned behind the bar.

"The demons really appeared. Last time when you found the demon's mark in the dungeon and showed it to me, I was skeptical."

"I was a little surprised too. I didn't expect to see the demons like this."

"But the demons are related to Mr. Charlotte's death? Is there a demon behind the kingdom?" Jack Carter hurriedly drank water, sobered up, and asked calmly.

"Not yet. So, I have a request. I need information."

"Do you need information about the demons?"

"Is there any information about the demon sacrifice?" Jack Carter seemed to be thinking about Cardan's question.

"Apart from those pagans who occasionally capture living people as sacrifices to the demons, I'm not very clear." It seems that the Thieves Guild does not have much information about the demons.

"Well, I need more information about the missing person."

"What? Missing people? Besides, it's going to be hard to find information if you put it that way, Mr. Cardin." Even 48 hours in a day would not be enough to find out all the information about the missing people in the kingdom.

“Can you narrow down what information you want?”

"Hmm. Among those who disappeared in dungeons and habitats without leaving behind bodies, are there any people with commonalities? Could you help me find out?"

"Well, I can try it to that extent." After narrowing the scope of the information, Jack Carter nodded to indicate that he could do it.

"You seem to have some clues."

"I'm not sure yet. I just suspect it." After answering this, Cardin closed his mouth and looked up into the air.

"This will definitely not be the last time. Since the demon clan's order book mentions sacrifice, they may target another sacrifice." This time, I was lucky and prevented someone from disappearing.

Without getting another demon's order book, it is difficult to know the demon's plans or goals.

"If this isn't the first time, then there must be something in common among the missing people. There has to be."
