Ganersam volume 1

Chapter 11

It was midnight, and I waited at the agreed spot. Not far from the guild, there is a small garden. This garden is where the maintenance tunnel is located. The garden is dimly lit, relying only on a small light in the center and some street lamps on the side.

I can't help but feel I'm walking into another trap. I spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to grab the two without Amel, but I can't find a way.

"You're ready?"

Asked a voice that came from behind me. I nodded to that voice.

Amel, who just appeared, made her way to the maintenance hole in front of us. Her black cloak is nowhere to be seen, replaced by a black shirt covered with a gray jacket and black short pants.

Half of her lower face was covered by a mask. She threw me a similar-looking mask. As I wore said mask, she opened her small leather bag and pulled out a small tool. It looked like a screwdriver.

Putting it beside the cover, the screwdriver's metal point lit up. She pushed the item into the gap between the cover and she lifted the cover out of the way.

She then made her way down and I followed behind her.

Using a flashlight to light up the way, we made our way through the sewers.

The sewers were surprisingly clean, and clear water flowed through them. Actually, aren't sewers supposed to be stinky and full of shit? Why is this one so clean?

Well, I guess this world doesn't have much pollution yet.

We navigate the sewers in silence. I'm admittedly a bit surprised that Amel didn't say anything, but I decided against asking.

"Here we are."

She said as she pointed her flashlight up, revealing a hole in the surface.

"Hey, is it just me, or are the sewers lightly guarded?"

There's no iron fence or the like to stop people from coming in. Isn't a suspicious noble like him supposed to have more defense than this?

"Everything in this complex is linked to a central control system. If we remove the cover, alarms would light up in the complex."

She casually said as she climbed up.

"Isn't that bad?"

"I'm a bounty hunter, you remember? I live for moments like this."

While hanging on the ladder, she pulled out a small box. She put the box beside the cover and started working on it. After that, she pulled out her screwdriver. It once again lit up, and she removed the cover soon after.

"Come on."

She said heading upward.

Just what is that screwdriver?'

I wondered as I followed her up.

We arrived at a beautiful small garden. Around us is some pathway to the main complex. This is the first time I saw the building, which is terrible in most cases.

The building looked like an old English country house.

"I forgot to ask this before, but you knew how to use paralyze and sleep, right?"

I shook my head. You said nothing about those two.

She then reached into her bag and pulled something out.

"Here, use this."

She threw me a yellow handgun.

"What's this?"
