"Ah— How was it?"
Captain Howe came out from inside the house and asked. He was breathing heavily and his sword was soaked in blood. His face was also splattered, so the inside of the house must have been a bloody mess.
"This is"
He jerked his chin toward the ogre (placeholder).
Captain Howe shone a light on the ogre (placeholder).
"Ah, he's a jagi. I thought this big guy had suddenly disappeared and escaped. But you three took him down. Really, thank you."
He bowed deeply.
"He was incredibly strong," I said.
"Of course. He's big, but his movements are fast and his sword arm isn't ordinary at all. Apparently, among the villains in the capital, he's said to be the number one or two sword user. If the three of you defeated him, then you three also have great skills. I underestimated you. Sorry."
Captain Howe bowed again. His tone had become quite casual.
"Indeed. It took the three of us to finally bring him down. But one of our security team members died in the process."
