Even though it's an inn to go home, I feel a lot of signs on my way home.

It sticks to my back so much that it passes by at regular intervals.

It's already dusk. Minutes or even a dozen minutes before the sun is swallowed on the horizon.

They're walking down the main street, but they can't do anything about it.

(... I can't help it)

It is troublesome to be followed to the inn as it is.

Use Detection Magic to enter the back alley you found appropriately. It's been confirmed that there are no people except those who are with us.

"Come out. What the hell are you doing?"

Speak up.

The men who were breathing showed up.

The clothes and appearance you are wearing are ordinary. Alternatively, it is so common that it blends into the landscape. That is why we can infer that their abilities and skills are high.

"... I'm saving your life"

Everyone pulls out the knife.

I've seen the shape before. I think Yui had it.

"That's so sweet of you to call."

Should I praise it for being serious? It must have been preceded by something like courtesy or affection.

Count to five.

That's just the number on the front.

There are still three of them from behind. They approached me well hiding the signs.

Was it dummy who called me?

But...

"Gu!?"

"Ha ha!

Let's start with the men in the back.

Temples. Chin. Mizoochi.

The speed is definitely faster this way.

The same goes for the five men in front who came through the gap.

Defeat as many as you can.

It is not weak. But it's not strong either. If it applies to the Alliance's rank system, it would be about C or B rank. A veteran, a man who worked so hard.... if you think so, is it strong?

Well, that doesn't matter now.

"You guys, why did you..."

"... not yet."

The four men stood up.

I compressed the trachea or pierced an acute area, but will you still get up?

It seems quite painful, but it seems to be in a good mood.

Are the other four unnatural? None of the tingling moves. There are too many gaps. No, this is...

The four men who stood up pointed their knives at me while trembling. Poisonous liquid is dripping from the tip.

― Chi

Seems to have witnessed an unpleasant moment. I didn't notice it and left it behind.

Shoulder. Knee. Cervical vertebra.

It's time to disable the incoming four.

At the same time.

"Agah!?"

Put your hands in each person's mouth.

Remove the back teeth packed with unnaturally smooth pills. Disgusting sounds and blood fly.

When I saw what I took out... there was still a little purple sphere packed in my teeth. This will undoubtedly be poison.

"What do you want to do so far?

Ask the men who rolled their limbs to the ground.

There appear to be four breaths, but the other four are already dead. Did you take out the pill with your tongue or chew it? Either way, I swallowed it. Is it because of the sudden death that she didn't suffer?

"... kill me!

"No, answer me."

This is a clear intention and readiness to kill.

I'm not just a killer. Some sort of organized crime.

……

That's why it's not easy to answer my question.

I remember unexpectedly. Just before you attacked me, you said, "... I'm going to save your life."

If I'm right.

Are you trying to kill people indiscriminately? You're a terrible man. "

"- Who?!

As expected, it showed an excessive response.

They seem to have reason and gratitude. It would be disgraceful to attack them indiscriminately.

The man went on.

"We are from East Japan! I'll take you hostage....! That's what it's all about, not indiscriminate...!

A hostage?

Isn't it pretty cowardly?

Well, since we're talking about war with East Japan, I don't think it's strange to think of it as one of the strategies.

More than that.

"Isn't it indiscriminate after all? I'm an unknown person. I can't believe you got into this."

"You don't know what's going on!? Don't forget! I told you it was ordinary people....! It's broken that you're Yui's associate!

Yui?

"It's Yui, the survivor of the former five-headed family! I won't tell you I don't know!

She seems to be at war with East Japan, so I'm pretty sure she is.

Speaking of which, you were talking about the murder of your parents. I'm sure he's talking about it.

"Well, I don't know. Why are you trying to kill me?

"... because their family tried to disturb the 'Way' of East Japan."

It came out of my mouth. I'm sure they value it. Without incitement, this seems to have been self-explanatory.

It's called Japanese.

"Collaboration. I don't want to be an idiot just fighting like the continent. There is a strong bond between East and West Japan. And it's going to break through all difficulties...!

Hee.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I suppose that means something like that exists.

But...

I asked him nothing more, but he didn't answer me. Doesn't that mean it's not my role anymore?

I had no choice but to deliver it to the Knights.
