***PoruShark Writer's Note***
The unknown and weird mischievous observers are back.
Anyway, the POV narration will be from the mischievous observers who are actually a group of hundreds of small unknown minions that have a simple and singular connected minds.

***While Vier's group is talking to Karna and Slain***
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning to you as well.
We're glad that everyone is here.
No! No! No!
Not everyone is here.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
We're still busy because of what happened yesterday.
Mhm! Mhm! Mhm!
We can't believe how much work has been added because of what happened yesterday.
Right. Right. Right.
Is everyone okay?
Is everyone doing fine?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
We're okay.
Everyone's fine.
Work is still okay.
Work is still fun.
We get to follow more people.
We get to observe many new things too.
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
They're here. They're here. They're here.
Right. Right. Right.
They're all here in their hideout today.
They're about to start their meeting.
We're wondering what they're gonna talk about today.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
We're excited too.
The show is about to start.
What are we going to call today's performance?
How about 'The gathering of the villains'?
Rejected. Rejected. Rejected.
We just used that last time.
Then what about 'The villains and their failures'?
Sure. Sure. Sure.
That sounds funny.
Be ready, everyone.
It's starting in 3!... 2!... 1!...
"What do you mean that the Handler is dead?!"
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
The boss villain is super mad.
"I'm sorry Sir. The scouts have confirmed that the Handler died while fighting the adventurers transporting the High-Level Dungeon-Artifact."
The assistant is right.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
We saw that.
That was exciting.
That was entertaining.
He was crushed by a tree and died.
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
"How could that happen? We already gave the Handler another High-Level Dungeon-Artifact and a Rank-5 Monster-Core just so he can kill the target. Damn it! And I thought we had an unbelievable opportunity to finish our mission much earlier. What exactly happened? How can a bunch of rookie Copper-Rank adventurers and average Iron-Rank adventurers defeat the Handler?"
"We just checked the information about that Iron-Rank Adventurers-Party and we learned that their actual rank is Steel-Rank. They are actually as strong as a Sliver-Rank Adventurers-Party but they're only promoted as advanced Steel-Rank because they don't have enough accomplishments."
...BOOM!...
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
Is that a Flame-Burst skill?
The boss villain has lost it.
He attacks the assistant using his offensive-skill.
He did miss though.
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
What was that?
If he wanted to kill the assistant, he should aim at the head properly.
Right. Right. Right.
Now the assistant is scared.
Super scared.
His trembling all over his body.
What a weakling.
Weak. Weak. Weak.
"You idiot. What's the point of knowing that after the fight? If the Handler knows that before the fight, maybe he could have done something about it."
"I'm sorry Sir."
"Tsk!... Damn it! Leave now before I change my mind and decide to kill you. Make yourself useful while you're somewhere else."
"Yes, sir. We're leaving."
Ehh? Ehh? Ehh?
Why are you leaving already?
No! No! No!
The show had just started.
Hurry up and follow them.
Quickly and stealthy.
Do your work.
But there's probably nothing interesting that is going to happen on their side.
No. No. No.
But we need to follow them.
Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.
"Damn it. What an incompetent fool."
The boss villain is still mad.
Super mad.
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
"And you three! At least tell me some good news or I might burn all of you right off your seats."
"Calmed down, Sir. My group has good news so you can rest assured."
"Then tell me about it."
"The monster that we're hiding inside the Forest-Valley Dungeon is finally showing signs of evolving. We think that the combination of Mana-Crystal and the monster's corpses as its food is the reason for that. Within one or two more weeks We're sure that it will going to evolve."
"Good work. At least something is going according to plan."
"Thank you, Sir."
"Keep hunting for more monsters inside the Dungeon and feed them to that monster. If you need better weapons and gears just request it to your supplier and it will be delivered along with your supplies of Mana-Crystal."
"We understand, Sir."
"You three may leave now. Make sure that the Adventurers Guild won't be suspicious of your actions and be careful of the adventurers and soldiers patrolling inside the Dungeon."
"Yes, Sir. We're leaving now."
Wait. Wait. Wait.
Don't leave yet.
Why is your group going to leave now?
No! No! No!
Don't leave. Don't leave. Don't leave.
If your group leaves now we won't be able to see the rest of today's show.
Again. Again. Again.
We need to follow your group again.
They're leaving so quickly and stealthy follow them.
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
We have no choice.
Let's move.
Go. Go. Go.
Let's continue watching the show.
It's the boss villain and his bodyguard are the only ones left in the room again.
Why are the two of them always left alone together in their hideout?
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
That sounds weird.
Right. Right. Right.
Pfft!.... Hahaha!...
"Do you still plan to use that monster without the Handler? If you do that, then that cursed woman will surely blame what will happen to the empire."
"Damn it. I know. But we can't waste all of our efforts and resources that were put through for the preparation of this mission."
Yay! Yay! Yay!
The show is not canceled.
It will still happen within two weeks.
We still need to make sure that we're there to see that show.
Right. Right. Right.
We still know when the show will happen.
We still know where the show will be held.
Just only in two weeks.
Only two more weeks of waiting.
Maybe we can find other interesting things to do in two weeks.
We hope they had more plans then.
Right. Right. Right.
It's a good thing they managed to sneak inside the town.
"Capturing that monster alive, sneaking it inside the Dungeon during the subjugation of the Dungeon-Stamped last December, and supplying the materials it needs to evolve takes away more than 25 percent of my assets."
"I know. I have seen everything after all."
We know too.
We have seen everything too.
"What you know is nothing but a small fraction of the plan and all my efforts. I have set aside my nobility for too long and I have been pretending to be a merchant for more than 50 years just so I can infiltrate inside this town as a member of the Merchants Association."
"Ohh!... I didn't know that. You are quite the dedicated one for spending that much time just so you can enter this small town without any suspicion."
"Idiot. You know nothing about this place. This place is more than just a small town at the border of their Kingdom. This town is a throne and the one sitting on it is that cursed woman."
Right. Right. Right.
We know that too.
We're not an idiot.
Your bodyguard is the only idiot.
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
"You really that scared of her? If have the opportunity to face her in a duel, I'm sure..."
"Pfft!... Hahaha!..."
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
We can't take it.
It hurts so much.
Our belly hurts from laughing so much.
What a good joke.
Pfft!... Hahaha!...
"Tsk!... Don't make fun of old man!"
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
The bodyguard is mad.
Super mad.
He had lost it.
He drew his sword and pointed it at his boss.
"Do you think that some like you would scare me? I have seen my fair share of battles in my younger days. And someone as pathetic as you won't even come close to the enemies that I have encountered...
...I saw what that cursed woman can do. She is a calamity that could kill an entire army and destroy a Kingdom on her own. If not for my commander sacrificing his life just so he could issue an order for the army to retreat, then even I wouldn't be here today...
...Someone as weak and cowardly as you won't even know what a true strong enemy looks like."
"You don't know anything about me..."
"Pfft!... Hahaha!... That is what some like you, who can't even see how pathetic you are in front of a strong enemy, always say.
Pathetic. Pathetic. Pathetic.
Yes, you are a pathetic bodyguard.
"Don't look down at me old man!"
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
Is he going for the kill?
Cut him down!
Cut him down!
Cut him down!
"Go on, end my life with your hands. But I bet you don't even have the guts to cut me down."
"Damn it! If not for our deal I will kill you right here l, right now!"
"You're just all talk. Leave this room now before I decide to kill you myself. If you still want me to complete our deal then come back when you're clear that head of yours of your idiotic ideas."
"Damn it. I know!"
He left.
So the show is already over?
Wait. Wait. Wait.
We need to follow him too.
Split up and quickly and stealthy follow the bodyguard.
We will stay here and observe the boss villain.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Go. Go. Go.
We need to see everything they do so Master can see it as well.
We need to hear everything they say so Master can hear it as well.
We need to do our work so Master would be happy.
We need to do our work so Master would be entertained.
Everything is for Master.
Master! Master! Master!

"Sigh... What a letdown. That Necromancer couldn't even serve his purpose and show me an entertaining scene. Maybe I should have done something so that the Elf wouldn't be there to save them...
...After all, what I want is for them to struggle, for them to fight with everything they have until they have nothing left...
...To see them crawl into the ground, not to run away but to face their enemy...
...Sigh. I wonder if you could show me that kind of entertainment, my dear apprentice."
