After breaking up with Ashley, Lili was headed towards the port of Brace River. That's in the opposite direction to the cliff Ashley and May headed for. She's not dreaming that the M-12 is going to bump into each other from now on.

Lili moves on to fulfill the mission imposed on her by Elba.

The night before visiting Valentis with Ashley. Lili, as usual, was in a safe house in her dreams. On this day, there were six rebels in the safe house.

"Looks like you're finally getting used to your powers, Wallace"

"Heh heh! Maybe you can win if you fight Bell now. ~?

"You can't beat a guy who's been able to use black magic lately!

"I don't know ~"

"Mm-hmm. ⁉"

Lili had a slightly bigger attitude after meeting Black Magic (Grimore). The lightly provoked bell unwittingly reacts greatly.

"Lili Wallace, by the way. What did you just say?

"So I'm staying with Dean Brace River tomorrow."

"Idiot." No more reason for you to spend time with Ashley Norbember. Don't make any more extra contact!

"Wait a minute! Brace River, right? Mr. Elba, didn't you tell me there's something you want me to do at Brace River?

"I did say it, but you don't have to go anywhere with Ashley Norbember"

"No, I do! In order for the Knights to act without suspicion, the natural flow is important! I'm also taking the Magic Eye Sealed Potion, right? Trust me a little!

As always, Elba speaks out for Lili's actions. But Lili had a point. No matter how many "magic eye sealed drugs” you're taking, if you're acting on your own accord, there's a chance that the M-12 will find out about the operation that will shine the eyes of the surveillance.

"The lady's right, Emperor. After all, you haven't lost your sense of dictatorship ~"

"Restore. You want to be killed..."

"So stop it every time! I'm scared!

When Isaac pinches his mouth on Elba, the same line always awaits him. Isaac is always hissing at that word, which is somewhat of a real motive for killing.

"Lili Wallace. You have something to do at Brace River. You're the only one who can get to Brace River by natural flow."

"I've been waiting!

"I need you to secure the escape leg at Brace River."

"The foot of the escape... do you mean to ask me to take you on a ship coming from abroad?

Earlier, Elba was about to give Lili a mission. Allegedly a fugitive leg, Lili first remembered the conversation at Valentis.

In order to escape from the Kingdom of Sertria, it is not possible to use the air passage. The only way to use it is by sea.

"It's not just an overseas ship. We're on a pirate ship."

"Pirate ⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉\

As soon as she heard Elba's words, Lili gave a shocking voice.

During this time Lili just heard that there are pirates rampaging in the Brace River. Besides, Lambert told Bell not to rely on pirates.

"That's right. You seem to have never received less money from a boy named Damian Summerbell. With that money, you acquire pirates."

"But does that make it work? Most pirates don't seem to be trustworthy..."

"Don't worry. Speaking of pirates, it's not good for anyone. I've already got eyes on it."

Then Elba handed Lili one piece of paper. That's the same nomination arrangement that Bell was drawn on someday. If you look at this, you can quickly see the features and names of the exterior.

"I didn't even meet you, how did you get your eye on the star?

"Don't lick my power. In the last few days, I have been intervening in the spirit of pirates entering and leaving Brace River. Among them, it was the man who possessed, among other things, mighty magic. Looks a little different than just a rough pirate. I also feel something close to Faust"

"Can't it be a regular ship?

"Mr. Lili. It's not normal. Compared to airships, ship management is less stringent. That said, almost all ships are checked aboard. Far from the harbor, except for the pirate ships that hide and dock"

"Far from the harbor, how do you land in the Breath River?

"You use a boat. Pirates can't break through the harbor in the front. Park the ship in the distance and sneak off the coast by boat."

"I know that, but I still don't think I can trust pirates."

"Lili Wallace. This is the only way out of this country."

You cannot leave this Serbian kingdom on a ship that has entered the port in a legitimate manner. Lili is not a rider, but only the pirates could rely on her.

"But with my black magic (Grimoire)!..................... ah"

"The black magic of your territory (Grimoire) is still unstable. You can't jump anywhere you want, and you can't go anywhere you've never been, can you?

"... you're right"

Lili tried to offer another way out of this country, but it was immediately rejected by Elba. In the end, relying on pirates is the most realistic means of escape.

"Over the past few days, this pirate has been in and out of the port of Brace River. Find him and take his side."

Remembering Elba's words, Lili was stepping into the port of Brace River. The harbour is busy as usual, with many people crossing paths.

"Simply put, how do you tell me to find it out of such a crowd... with that said, among other things, mighty magic or something"

Lili, desperate for too many people, suddenly remembered a certain Elba word. To say that the pirate you're looking for possesses powerful magic, Lili should be able to sense its presence.

"Uh-huh... too many people with magic, I don't get it..."

It was Lili trying to find pirates by feeling magical just now, but the search nevertheless made it extremely difficult. There are naturally many black magicians (grigories) in Brace River who come from all over the world.

"⁉ What magic. Stronger than anyone else in this harbor!

Lili, who was about to give up his search with magic, suddenly sensed a mighty magic power. Those with more powerful magic than any black magician (grigori) who crosses this harbour are certainly nearby.

Lili strives for mighty magic and goes on her steps.

The vast harbour is lined with countless out-of-the-box shops. Every time she moved one foot, Lili felt herself approaching its mighty magic.

"Whoa, I guess it doesn't matter if you're a pirate or something right now. I'm trying to pay you to shop properly, right?

"Can you accept such dirty money!

"Money is often dirty. Now, give me that delicious grape!

"Don't preach greatly! Pirates!"

That's when Lili's ears heard such a conversation. Apparently, it's some kind of out-of-the-box conversation. From the content, there is definitely a pirate there.

"That's him."

Lili was able to quickly find the Lord of Voices. There stands a pirate who does look the same as depicted in the nomination arrangements.

A pirate dressed in a juicy kimono is rubbing with a harbor fruit shop.

The color of his hair is golden, similar to that of a bell, with a knife on his waist. This pirate had a unique atmosphere not seen by the Sertrians.

“A pirate shopping in a store? Something's wrong."

Pirates steal hardware from others with strength. Having been taught that all along, Lili was uncomfortable with the sight in front of her.

"Um, this, please."

"Huh? Oh... yes! Every time!"

Lili, who decided to, approached the outdoor store.

And I used the money Damien gave me to try to buy one of the red grapes that the pirates were trying to buy. At first he was a grumpy shopkeeper, but he immediately received the price and offered Lili the red grape.

It is a beautiful grape with several red fruits. Even under cloudy skies, a jewel-like rustling fruit. Even if you don't actually put it in your mouth, you can tell it's delicious just by looking at it.

"Hey, this woman could be a pirate, too. ⁉ Why aren't you selling it to me?"

"There's no way such a pretty lady is a pirate! In exchange, you're a pirate no matter what you think."

"Thémè."

"Yes! This!

⁉ ︎

Lili broke in between the shopkeeper and the pirate, who was in a one-touch state. What the pirates are looking for is a one-room red grape. If Lili gives it to the pirates, all the problems will be solved.

…………

The pirate, offered red grapes by Lili, received it without saying anything. Then with nothing to say, he tries to carry the red grape into his mouth.

"Hey, no thanks? Or give me my money back."

"Ah?"

"Oh? Because it's not." "Something I luxury. Don't get a sense of the air."

"What? You."

"Is that the attitude to the person who helped ⁉⁉;⁉⁉RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR\

"... Oh, thank you"

"Honest and good!

Lili was unintentionally outraged by the pirates who acted as if Lili wasn't there. Is this what you call a pirate? In the first place, it is a strange story to say that you will be luxurious to pirates.

"If you're feeling better, you're better now, right? Don't interrupt my blissful times."

"Oops."

"Let's return the money first, shall we? - Mr. Pirate?

When the pirates brought the red grapes closer to their mouths again, this time the red grapes disappeared neglectfully. As the pirates rushed around, the red grape that was about to enter the pirate's mouth earlier was somehow in Lili's hands. She used the power of the Realm.

"I get it. You should just give it back, right? Now you're feeling better. Go away already."

"I'm not leaving."

"What the hell are you? I'm a pirate, aren't I?

"It's not you! It's Lili Wallace!"

Even if I get my money back, naturally Lili won't walk away from being a pirate. Lili is in the middle of an important mission right now. You can't pull back easily.

"Lili. What the hell are you? It's stupid of you to get involved with pirates like that, isn't it?

"Pirates say that? Mr. Sin Homla."

"What, you even know my name?"

Lili, who was in possession of the nomination arrangements, knew the name of the pirate. The pirate's name is Sin Homra. That was a name Lili had never heard of before.

"I came here to see you for a favor, naturally, right?

"What? You want me to attack you?

"No... fool, who would ask you to do that?"

Homla breaks Lili's waist. It's just driving me crazy, but Lili has to focus on carrying out her mission.

"From what I've seen, it looks like your daughter has a lot of magic too. I don't think I need a baton.

"It's a little different to say that."

"Then what is it? What, are you relying on pirates or something?

Homla, with his mighty magic powers, naturally excelled in magic sensing as well.

"I'll give you this, and you need my help! I'll tell you more about it now!

"Why don't we talk about it? I'm also interested in your daughter's black magic."

"First, this is all you have to protect. Never use a word I utter once."

Homla's interest grew once and for all as Lili flickered a bunch of stripped bills. This bundle of bills Lili got from Damian looks like it has 2 million pounds.

Unexpected by Lili, her black magic (Grimoire) also became a very effective negotiating material.

After this, Lili explained to Homla the details of the "request” in detail. Keeping Lili's first favor, Homla was listening to Lili in silence, cheeky red grapes.

While listening to the explanation, Homla had come to understand why as well.

"Munyamnya... that's tough again. If you want to help us, you can ask for it."

Swallowing all the red grapes, Homla offered the conditions instead of accepting Lili's request.

"Really?"

"Ma'am, were you listening? That kind of money isn't enough to hire us at all. You're gonna have to do us a favor, too, right?

"... what favor?

"If you wish - let me specify where you want to go after you leave here. I'll have you follow me there."

"... ok. If we can get out of here, we have no choice."

"All right! That's a deal!

Homla received a bundle of bills from Lili and negotiations were concluded.

But there's a condition there that the contents aren't clear. I don't know what turbulence that will cause again, but I just have to swallow it to secure my escape leg.

Sin Homra joined the new rebels. Can he be a guide to light for Lili and the others?
