Arcadia’s Labyrinth

When we heard Tina's words, we ran out like we had been played.

"Oh, hey, wait!? Huh, early!? With us too...... hey, uh, what? What? Accounting!? No, we have money............... Kane!! Wait, hey! Leave me some money!!

Something heard Tina's desperate voice from behind, but naturally we didn't stop.

Things dispute for a moment. I'm sorry, but I don't have time for long accounting.

More importantly, it was more convenient not to have Tina around when I thought about what was going to happen, and I was so relieved to have her do dishwashing, etc.

"Shit!"

It was regrettable enough to scratch myself as I cut and ran the wind past my head.

- I made it too long. I can't believe Mr. Allise couldn't afford this much time before he was attacked. I shouldn't have said anything about anticipating the timing of making an alibi, but I should have just snuck into the mansion and killed him.

The feeling of skin becoming kahhhh hot, while the gut cools like ice. A burning feeling of impatience and self-loathing.

On the other hand, a corner of his head, a sober part, whispered.

- That's weird. Whatever it is, it's too sudden. Such daylight grandeur, attacking ordinary people's stores, etc. It's too different from the impression of the one I heard in the rumor. Assuming you're after Mr. Allise, aren't you going to be hunting him down to use more praise hands? This makes too much noise about whatever it takes. I was anticipating the timing because I took into account the character of those guys. This is too short-circuited.

Running questions. But it also blew it all up the moment I saw the sight.

Crushed table. Broken chair. Scattered dishes and dish fragments. Holed floors and walls. Inn cafeteria until halfway to ruins.

And at its center, a pig man covered as if to prey on a half-naked stripped Mr. Allise.

Next to me is my father, who made a mole all over his face, and he's being ambushed by the men in the police force.

As soon as I saw it, my eyes stained bright red.

What I recall is Elise's inn, which had been pushed back from the labyrinth one day into a state of semi-destruction. Elise lost her home to return, and lost herself to her slavery.

The cause and circumstances are different from that this time, but the sight in front of me was so similar that the sight of that time could rise to the back of my brain.

I should have sworn never to let this happen again......

I kicked a pig man in the flank, like I hit regret and pity for myself. [M]

"Huh!? Giggy!?"

Gedron, who blew away with an ugly scream, clashed vigorously against the wall. Like a fish launched on land, it swept around the ground.

It's not dying damage. If I kill him here, that's the trouble. But sometimes it causes stronger pain because you're not willing to kill it. Now he's going to be in pain like his gut burning right now.

The truth is, I guess it's better not to hit him here later, but I still couldn't stand it. And when I saw the dull and agonizing guy, I felt his chest bubble just a little but back off.

"Kisa, you know who you're doing what to!?

At first, they were polite men watching the blown up Gedron, but when they returned to me, they came this way so awesome.

"This man is the tax collector of this district! Your actions are a fine treason!

The vigilantes barking as if they had taken the head of a ghost. I'm sure you think I'll kneel blue if I say so.

Therefore, when I looked back at them with no expression, there was an obvious colour of fright in their faces.

"Hey, what! No way... you want to defy us too! What will happen to you if you do that..."

"is, you're gonna get caught for beating this pig anyway, right? Then you guys need to bust it too... isn't that a loss?

When I said that, they looked goofy.

That's funny, just a little laugh.

"Hit. Ma, ma, ma, wait! You think you can beat this number of people! Surrender now and I won't do anything wrong!

That kind of thing is obviously pulling their hips off, and their hands on the weapon are indelible. I could see at a glance that I hadn't even worked out in a busy manner.

"Ugh, for now...... go to sleep!!

That's what I'm saying, beating each and every one of you to pass out.

And as I slammed all the alarm down, I slowly approached the frightened Gedron in the corner of the room.

"Hih......! Hiccup, Ma, wait...! Wow, when you get your hands on me, you're gonna regret it...! In the unlikely event that I have, revenge insurance will necessarily take you-"

"- As if that were true. That's after you died. Now, it doesn't matter. Right?"

Blocking the words of Gedron, who sweats and desperately solicits, I plucked my sword from my waist.

"Bye."

"Ugh, ah, ah... Hino"

And I waved my sword wide..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Phew..."

Sigh. All that remained was men who passed out and a couple of things like not knowing what had happened.

"Ah, ah, here, this... the hell..."

Mr. Allise shrugs as he hugs his worn out father.

I smashed my tongue with them as they looked over at the vandalized dining room.

Sucks. As far as I can think, it's the worst pattern I've ever had.

"- Kane!" "Kane!

There, the belated Elise and Reliana jumped into the dining room.

"!! Father, Mother!

"Oh! Elise!

Mr. Allise hugs Elise.

"It was ok!?

"Oh, oh... we're really safe at the end, but oh... what do we do now"

"What the hell happened?

"Wow, I don't know. All of a sudden, really sudden Gedron walks into the inn and I don't know what it is anymore..."

"Really? Without any foretaste?

"Yeah, yeah. Something said," This inn is hiding criminals! "What a rough ride around the inn. Customers get away with it too... oh..."

Hiding criminals? We met face-to-face.

What's this all about? Is it just a trick? Or......

"Mother, what exactly did you say?

"Huh? Yeah... but," I know you're planning to assassinate Master Gedron! If you hide the criminals, you just won't put them down! "Could it have been..."

――――

Or definitely still!!! Gedron came to the forefront of our assassination plot!!

But where the hell did it leak from? Did you have someone to talk to? Impossible. Basically, we were in the room collecting information, and we were paying close attention to our enemies because of their high status.

Specific assassination plots, etc., are as good as they were going in the labyrinth.

It's impossible to eavesdrop on it without us noticing.

No way... did Vengeance Insurance really exist and a leading assassin detect our assassination plot?

But why doesn't it come out now? And not assassinate us beforehand? If you're in a position to look into the assassination plot and teach Gedron, it should be easier that way.

Something... contradictory.

Now it's more natural to think that Gedron simply raided with the obsession of "hiding criminals".

But I don't think this sudden raid has anything to do with our plan...

No, but I feel different somewhere.

Or the Elise Inn isn't an end, it's a means, is it just us?

But who the hell...

- No, wait. Revenge, insurance. Insurance, huh?

Could that be what this is about?

Gedron had always publicly stated that he was insured for revenge. That, in other words, "I am a person who can't help but be targeted for life," the same goes for myself.

In fact, his business was on a "no matter who killed him whenever” level.

Nonetheless, his actions were patterned, enough that even his power could plan an assassination on just ordinary people.

... What if that's what he was after?

Everyone has a motive to just be killed, and anyone can only plan an assassination.

Then whether the "very ordinary inn" is looking to assassinate Gedron, or hide the assassin... no one wonders?

If that's the store that has been subjected to intensive harassment lately...

It's not surprising that too many situations have been made to kill Gedron, and people's thoughts have stopped with "bad guys getting resented so far," and they say, "Were you really looking to assassinate him? Wouldn't it be hard to get to the point?

I mean, here's the thing.

Revenge insurance is not about revenge after revenge, but about the fact that everyone can crush their opponent ahead of time by making it a situation where they can plan their revenge... don't you mean this situation?

And it does not just stop the assassination, it also exists to punish the target prey for wrongdoing...

That's who Gedron and some millionaires call revenge insurance......

Think again, it's impossible to detect an assassination plot from us after a title boost.

Then this is the only answer that's going to stick so far, I feel

He didn't perceive the assassination plot, he created a "situation where it's not always strange to be planned to assassinate" and he's just using it to attack innocent people this way.

"………… - In! Kane!

Leriana rocked my shoulder and I turned back to me. [M]

"Hold on, Kane. So, what do we do now?

"Oh, oh, thank you, Leriana. Yeah,... Elise and Leriana, just keep taking Mr. Allise away. Location, by way of example. And... I'm sorry, but tell His Highness at the castle it depends."

"Hmm, to Your Highness, too?

"Yeah... I'm a guarantor, so I think I'll get back to you from the guild... just in case,"

I didn't think you'd help me, either. But this time Gedron's behavior is clearly beyond the outline. His Royal Highness moves me to dispose of him as a public servant... there was only one way to do that.

"What are you going to do with Kane?

Elise's worrying inquiry, and I answered with a faint smile.

"- I'm gonna have another rampage."
