Episode 8: Missing

By the time Lili had finished her training with Ashley, Knight was visiting Rocco.

"Captain Dissenber. What's wrong with you?

"Has Mr. Argin come home yet?

"Is that your sister? I thought I was talking about Elba..."

"Mr. Paradi was the remnants of the Wang du. It's important, but it's not today."

"Why is she your sister?

"Judy Argin is a traitor. It's a little drastic, but Master Gregorio ordered March and Jun to execute her. But all three of them lost track of it."

"Well... I can't believe that was happening. I want to believe your sister, but betrayal seems to be a fact. As soon as I went to the Amnis Desert, your sister never came home."

At this time, Rocco found out for the first time about the disposition placed on Judy. Rocco, who has been close to Judy like his real sisters. I'm sure she's in great shock, but she never put it on the table.

"Well... Judy Argin was deceiving us and acting for the Trump Circus. Because of her, Belle, you're in danger."

"Yeah, I know. Lili told me, and I'm the one who went to help Bell."

"You did. I'm so sorry this happened. I have to find her. The two M-12s who are gone... in case the two M-12s are missing, they have to be replenished."

"I can't believe not only your sister but March and Jun are gone... what the hell is going on"

"I don't know. I don't know, but lately I feel like something's going on beyond my imagination."

"That's really right...... my brain is going to burst"

"Haha... Mr. Paradise. Sure, Vulture had a deep relationship with her, too, didn't he? Is he a remnant of Wang Du, too?

"No, it looks like he was going to Valentis, but now it looks like he's coming back to Elixis!

"Right, thanks. I want you to let me know if anything happens."

Knight immediately, walked away from Rocco's front. Even as he scratches Gregorio's supervision (Supervision), Knight continues to behave as captain of the M-12, indispensable for caution.

From now on, he will visit Robin to get information about Judy.

Lili and Allen were still in the dean's office after finishing a direct confrontation with Ashley. Lili, who had already reached the limits of her health, was feeling completely better as a result of Ashley's healing (Amalia).

"Well done, why don't you stay with me for the reward?

"Huh?"

"Huh? That... amazing face is cute too ~"

…………

"What's going on? Shut up."

Lili honestly wanted to express her joy if it was true, but the doubts in her had not yet been dispelled. Some of the M-12 have cursed Lili's mother. Ashley is also one of the M-12. Ashley's been working with Lili ever since we met, but maybe she's not the one to forgive.

Lili was increasingly confused about a human being named Ashley. Is she just really cooperating, or is there some horrible idea lurking behind that favor? Still, it is an indisputable fact that thanks to Ashley Lili was able to grow significantly.

"But I just said we shouldn't see each other anymore..."

"Don't tell me it smells like water! Let's have some fun at the end!

"What are you staying... here?

"That's not true! Sertria is proud of its resort. Let's go to Brace River!

"Is that a brace river? ⁉?"

"Yes, it's the Breath River!

"I want to go too."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Allen. This is just for girls."

"... can't I go?

Bres River is a stronghold for getting out of the Kingdom of Sertria. A lot of opportunities to visit there are good things to do. Lili still can't decide whether to go “stay” or not, but this was a very convenient suggestion for Lili.

"Um..."

"Oh, of course not today. It's too late, and I'm going now, because I don't have much time!

"Uh..."

"So let's do it tomorrow! Forget everything tomorrow all day and have fun!

"Oh, um... ok"

"Then it's settled!

Lili accepted Ashley's suggestion because she was blocked from speaking. Lili had no choice but to laugh bitterly at Ashley's fortitude in forcing the conversation to proceed. Still, Lili never hated that.

The next morning, Lili was visiting a place. Lili was designated to meet with Ashley at Ellices International Airport. As Ashley instructed, Lili was waiting for Ashley at the departure site in the airport.

"Oh my goodness - did you sleep well yesterday?

"Yes! I feel so refreshed!

"I'm sure that's because you've grown big as a Black Mage (Grigori)!

"Right!

Lili was feeling reborn at the dawn of a tough training. At Ashley's whim, Lili became stronger than ever before. Lili now, everything is different from her so far.

"Sorry, I'm glad I left the Knights Ship Port so quickly, but I'm not a Knights member, because you can't get into Ship Port..."

"No! I'm sorry about this one. You went out of your way to get the airship moved from Knights headquarters..."

"I don't care about that! I didn't move him."

"haha..."

"Come on! Let's get in!

One of the airships that was supposed to be in Ship Port, originally Knights headquarters, was present today at Ellices International Airport.

"Dean Norbember. You're in a good position to move a airship for personal use."

"Captain Maris. Don't be too hard on me. This airship hasn't been used lately, and it's not good."

…………

Nestled beside the airship was Captain Maris. Hearing the name, Lili's body was stretched. Captain Maris hangs a "sleeping curse” on Stella Wallace. Lili's most resentful opponent is in front of her right now.

In Lili, an uncontrollable rage was swirling. I still want to avenge this man. Such a dark feeling was swirling in her, but if she executed it now, she could ruin all of the insurgents' operations.

“Enjoy... I just took revenge on this guy, it's not like my mom's gonna wake up”

Lili was desperately telling herself. If Johann shows up before Bell, Bell will attack without any hesitation.

But Lili wasn't. Lili now has enough resentment and hatred to beat Bell, of course. Still, Lili kept calm in accurately judging the situation. If we leave ourselves to our emotions here, we could create unwanted strife.

Lili desperately contained the outpouring anger and was disguised as calm.

"What the hell are you going to do with a girl who's not even a Knights member?

"Whatever a girl does with a girl, it's got nothing to do with Odysan!

"Odysan............"

"Well, thank you for moving."

You felt Lili's intense emotional changes, Ashley immediately took Lili into the airship. When she grabbed Lili's hand, Ashley was aware that her hand was trembling with anger. Ashley, who knows what the Knights have done, naturally knows what Captain Maris did to Lili's mother.

"Dean... why is he here?"

"That guy was the one you missed the most...... sorry. I should have considered that a little bit more."

"I can't forgive that guy. Why did my mom have to be sacrificed... to tell me where it was necessary to take my mom away from me?"

"Lili............"

When I was alone with Ashley, Lili exploded her emotions. Maris January is a hater who drove Lili's life crazy. It's Johann Faust for Bell.

The uncontrollable anger had become magic and the girl's body was overflowing. Inside the airship, the silver magic spreads.

"I really can't forgive that guy. I want you to disappear from this world. If you can't... I want you to sleep in my place forever..."

⁉ ︎

At that moment (when) Lili still tried to explode her emotions, Ashley hugged Lili gently to wrap her body around her. Lili, who was on the verge of exploding her anger, can't hide her surprise in a sudden warm embrace.

"............... Mom"

To its warmth, Lili was feeling her mother Stella. Ashley's warmth gently envelops her swelling, darkening emotions. That tenderness, which seemed to envelop all of Lili, had something to pass through Stella.

From Lili's eyes, who remembered her mother's warmth in Ashley's embrace, were overflowing with large tears. You blew something off, Lili kept crying as long as her voice could not bear it. Surrendering herself to Ashley's chest like her mother's, Lili's anger flows in tears.

As she did with Stella's chest one day, Lili even kept crying until she cared.

And Stella kept hugging her until Lili's tears stopped.

"Are you all right now?

".................. Yes"

Lili finally stopped crying after a few hours, wiping her tears and making her laugh embarrassed. Lili, feeling held in her mother's chest, stopped crying and realized again that it was not her mother.

"You've kept me waiting. Time to leave!

"Is that it? Does anybody fly a airship?

"May! She's really good."

Then with May May's manoeuvre, the airship flew toward Brace River. Lili and Ashley were flowering into conversation until they got to Brace River. Forgetting about black magic (Grimoire) and training, they were finally able to enjoy the conversation purely.

After about an hour and a half, the airship finally arrived at Breath River Airport.

"Looks like you've arrived."

"You didn't have long."

Laughing at each other, the two black magicians (Grigori) stepped out of the airship.

When the two of them got off the airship, Mae Mae was waiting for them there. Lili, who was visiting the safe house in her dreams last night, had heard from Belle that May was on her side. Mae knew it or not, and for the first time she met Lili, who looked at each other.

"Um..."

"I need a minute, so you enjoy the brace river first. I was wondering if you could wait in front of the airport in about two hours."

"Hey... can I..."

Before Lili could say what she wanted, Ashley took May out of the airship launch site.

Lili didn't visit Brace River just to stay with Ashley on anything. As a rebel, she had something to do in Brace River this day. For that reason, Lili was going to tell Ashley that she couldn't go straight to the inn, but Ashley also had business for her.

Lili, who has been blocked from speaking, is working in the right direction for some reason.

To fulfil the mission entrusted to him by Elba, Lili left the airport behind.

Then a few dozen minutes later. Ashley and May stood on a high cliff on the edge of the Brace River. Cloudy weather on this day. As far as I can see, there's a thick cloud covering it, and I can't breathe anywhere.

The sea in Bres River was not somewhere calm on this day either. The sound of a wave striking hard comes from under the cliff, about 100 meters high from the cliff where the two of them stand to the sea. For some reason, there is no popularity around this cliff.

Between the two of us standing on a cliff, there was some disturbing atmosphere.

"Norbember. What can I do for you here?

"Sometimes, don't you want to see the wide ocean in a place where no one can disturb you?

……………

May didn't know what Ashley was thinking. Saying you came all the way out here to see the sea of Brace River on a bad day is too unnatural a reason. Besides, it shouldn't take more than two hours to see the ocean.

While uncomfortable, Mae dropped her gaze on a wide ocean just like Ashley.

"The Knights are following a path of ruin. Don't you think?

……⁉ ︎

May lost her words to Ashley's words, which she could not even think of.

"What's going on? You look so surprised. I know exactly what you're thinking."

"Nah... what are you trying to say?

"Don't you look so scared. I can read people's minds, right? There are countless Knights members who have doubts about an organization called the Knights. And little by little, their resistance is also starting. I'm just watching, but it's time to figure out how to swing."

"To be honest, I was surprised. I never thought you had that idea."

"If not, I wouldn't make a disciple who could be an enemy to the Knights."

"Is Mr. Wallace your apprentice?

"Yes! My adorable, adorable apprentice!

"Something... not what I thought it was all about"

"Huh? What?

"I thought that was... that... more strict."

"I hate being harsh. Make it easier."

I guess Ashley, who reads minds, knows so much about May's true intentions. Even as May was trying to pick a way to blade the Knights, Ashley didn't try to stop it.

"I, too, have doubts about the way the Knights are doing it today. I want to help Mr Bell and the others. But the M-12 is already beginning to suspect them."

"Right...... everyone who was in Valentis that day has an association with Elba. That's M-12's current view."

"How the hell can I help them? I don't have the talent to teach black magic (Grimoire) to people like you..."

At that time, Mae's confession was very comforting to Belle, but she didn't have a clear vision. If you remain enrolled in the M-12, you can blunt the Knights' movements from within or manipulate information. Still, May still couldn't make a big difference in the Knights' movement.

"What you can do. Well... isn't that about reducing the M-12 by one?

"Eh ⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉

Shortly thereafter, the view in May's sight became only dim cloudy weather. Mae, whose head turned bright white for a moment, calms down and looks around.

By the time I realized, May was in the middle of falling off a high cliff toward the sea level. May was too sudden to sort out the situation, but soon realized it was Ashley's fault.

"Sometimes, you have to be tough..."
