"What?

Nick heard Zem's words and raised his voice of surprise.

"There are many parts of me that rely on speculation... but first I wonder if I'm sure"

To the words of Zem, both Tiana and Kizna, and Scott the Double Swordsman, remain silent with their heavy faces on. There was no room for doubt, but it was a late silence.

"How's Mr. Nick, by the way?

"I'm ready, too. Steppingman's measures are enough."

Nick nods forcefully.

"I trained well, and I came up with something a little funny."

"Did you come up with that?

Zem asks, but Nick answers nothing and entertains the square iron in his hand. The surface was matte and had a shiny tannic texture.

"Oh, that's not the" Ignition "magic guide. What's the matter with you?

"Borrowed from Red"

"Give it back later, won't you? It was expensive."

The iron is fitted with something like a treasure ball. When Nick pushed in tightly, a small fire lit from the tip.

It is a magic guide similar to the Demonic Light, which is not cheap but is also used by relatively common people. There are many uses for lighting cigarettes and being used in cooking.

"You smoke?

"Explain that too. So... let's get started on our last meeting."

To Nick's words, everyone gave signs of ambition.

Time for the bounty hunters.

The moon is out tonight.

Rarely, all three moons are rising in the sky. It's Anzaki, Yuzuki, and Shinshitsuzuki.

The true moon depicts the most beautiful true circle, and gently illuminates the night sky with a gentle golden light.

The Anzuki is large, but if you observe it in detail, it is not as popular because you can see the surface that has been swamped like potatoes. Yongyue is smaller and harder to see than the true moon or the An Moon. Some favorites say those incapacitations are good, but many are still fascinated by the glamour of the true moon.

And as always, I wore a hood on my cape so that I could hide from the moon.

It's a handy magic guide. He embeds a treasure called the Phantom King Jewel in his collar. I bought it from a broker in the dark who trades magic equipment. At first I was surprised, but the effect was twelve. The characteristic of getting rid of signs and not being able to remember a person meshes really well with the stunt you have. And I'm so familiar with it that I find it ironic even in light of my circumstances.

I'm nothing now.

My family, my position, my job, it was all lost. Few things come back where we have achieved something now. Restoration of work and honor would return to some extent. But what I want most, I never get it. Every night, every night, every time I wake up, it hurts. The pain my family lost.

I just have pain.

No joy, no chest leaps, that's the only thing that moves your body.

I don't care what happens if it's to soothe this irresistible passion.

Anyway, I naturally knew that if I did this, someone would obstruct me or target me, etc. But I've already run out of money. I can't even buy more Magic Instruments to open things up. I can't even stop now.

So this is how you stare at the city.

The aim is a healthy child.

It has to be.

If you suffer from yellow ghost disease in the same condition as your daughter and can't treat you from it, it means nothing.

... I was suddenly called out when I realized myself that I was so lost in thought.

In a place where you can't possibly speak up.

"You're not curing your illness. It creates sick people, and it's messing around. Right?

"What are you..."

It was a young man who was in the dark.

We've already met several times.

Twice with his face hidden.

Twice even with my face on.

I could see a tight body from the top of my clothes.

The eyes, too, are powerful.

I felt something dazzling.

Is that jealousy of youth and possibilities?

Or is it envy for humans who would not know the despair of life?

But there are more things to worry about than those momentary emotions.

Being in the same position as yourself.

He appeared at such heights that he could not enter unless he was a cat or a bird, without making a single sound.

Labyrinth cities have many robust buildings such as temples, government buildings and factories, and this is also a scaffold for factory demolition.

There are many routes that can be moved unexpectedly, such as these roofs and scaffolding.

But it should take a lot of skill to fly from building to building.

Do you use any sorcery you don't know?

Or is this man, too, a user of stepping?

"Phew..."

Either way, it's the enemy.

Get your breathing rhythm in order.

Manipulate your body.

Manipulating your body clearly at your will is the basis for stepping.

Instead of being driven by reactions from the outside world, I control my own body, as I wish.

That way, like a scattered petal, like a bedrock bed, it reaches the frontier of freedom.

"Shh...!

I packed the distance to the other person.

Adjust the lightness to the point where you can move freely even in unstable scaffolding, and the weight to the point where you can overwhelm the target. Aim for jaws, dovetails, and tendons of the feet in turn.

"Heh, you know what?"

But the opponent paid for all the attacks as if they had been expected.

And he punches me through the counter.

It would be more effective than fisting in a state where you can't put on weight.

But the aim is easy to understand. Throat.

The moment I tried to prevent it, the orbit changed.

"… you"

The piercing was an invitation and the aim was only to capture the hand that I tried to prevent.

My left wrist is grabbed by a man.

"I knew it would be best to grab it if it was in this state. If you hold hands together, it's okay to lighten up all of a sudden."

"Sure."

"At first, I ate. But if you know how light it gets and how much you can move, somehow you know what you're going to do."

"That's not all there is. You don't use it either."

"Oh."

"But it's still sweet. I know very well that I just remembered" Lightweight ". It's not even the basis for stepping."

One hand is blocked from each other and one hand is empty.

Bad scaffolding, can't let go of a kick.

Become a melee beating.

That kind of assumption is alarming.

"Become!?

The man was stunned.

Because I threw myself into the universe with my opponent's arm grabbed.

A man weighs himself on the scaffold by unwrapping "Lightweight" to support himself and this one.

My body rocks down like a pendulum.

The centrifugal force was used to remove the opponent's hand. Fall upside down as it is.

but now it's on a scaffold for construction work. There is as much interaction as there is to be grabbed. He released a rope from his cuff while using "Lightweight" and moved a few meters away from the man… onto the roof of the factory.

"You really are a street performer."

"Hmm, it makes me laugh with amazing skill to the extent of street art. If you want to get in the way..."

"Nargarva. It's you."

Suddenly the man gave his name.

I don't answer anything, I just stare at the man.

The time for silence passes.

But I understood their certainty and gave up.

"... how did you find out"

"First of all, the skill is too high. Be an adventurer. Be an unreliable man, and manipulate defensive and fortified magic while using difficult and expensive magic aids. Few people can do such artistry. It's top notch for pulling Manhunt humans and people from the construction abandonment zone. I don't know if I'm gonna be pompous."

"Is that all?

"They're treating people in the infirmary with nowhere to go."

"Is that it?

"You're treating me, but for some reason, I can't stop spreading the disease. Yellow ghost disease is not that infectious."

"When you get sick or something, do you get infected?

"There is a disease of wonder if you look at each and every one of them. As much as a whore is eaten up by spreading in one or two shops of a whorehouse, it is well worth it. However, there is some reason for the increase in the number of patients across color streets and construction abandonment areas. Someone's spreading the disease."

"... I see"

"It's not my guess, it's my buddy....... but then, enough to believe. Be prepared."

And the man... Nick took the stand again.
