Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The aristocratic brothers and sisters who came out of the theater seem to board the carriage with their servants to follow the square.

They also seem to have escorts, but they don't seem to be moving in a large convoy of escorts. The carriage didn't have anything like a family crest either, so maybe it's moving with patience.

Travelling by carriage is not very fast because it is all over the city. It's a speed you can follow on foot. The men don't notice Cadkeus lurking at their feet and follow them after the carriage while keeping a certain distance.

"... go"

Once in the shadows, Cadkeus loses shape to dissolve in the water and follows the men as they flow through the cobblestone gap.

First, would you like everyone to move to the Adventurer Alliance? Let's wait in the guild and take an attitude that will allow us to move quickly.

"... that's not calm. Are you going to attack me like this in broad daylight?

Describing the situation, Claudia frowned uncomfortably.

"... because I don't understand the purpose. Assassination or kidnapping if it's noisy… surveillance or intimidation if it's light…"

"Just make a threat, is it?

Grace will look surprised.

"Yes. In the case of intimidation, it would be nice to have the fact that we raided. They can also send threatening letters later and try to get them to comply with their demands. For example, if you don't want to be targeted any more, don't do anything."

"Then... you won't be so important. As a murderer, it would be dangerous to actually harm nobles and merchants."

Yes, that's one of the advantages of blackmail alone. But I still can't say anything at this point.

I'll try to make a bust of my brothers and sisters with dirt magic... but you're not very confident. I could make something more accurate if I had a little more time to see my face from the front.

Cadkeus is following the men. Brothers and sisters are in the carriage. Carriage windows are closed from the inside. It's kind of hard to go check on people in the current situation.

Well, I have a pretty accurate idea of who the men are following by sticking them on. Try to make this chest statue too and let me help you later.

"Do you recognize these two and the men? I didn't observe the siblings' faces that well, so I think they have similar impressions and are only as informative as they are."

"Mmm...... I've seen siblings somewhere... but I also feel like they are. I don't know the men."

And Rosemary is doing his hand on his chin and devising it.

If Rosemary had seen it in person, it would have been different again... because I would have informed everyone who was shopping and by the time they got together, they'd already been in the carriage.

At least someone who looks familiar to Rosemary. It may be difficult to narrow down at the moment because the conditions are not good either.

Turn your attention to the men with the Five Senses link.

"Okay. Check again... don't let your brothers and sisters get hurt if you set it up. Kidnapping may succeed or fail, but you must not hold your sister back."

"Assuming you take my sister hostage against the escorts, you're going to use it as bait to secure her identity."

"That's right. Above all, give priority to not getting caught. If the escort becomes sticky, we withdraw immediately."

"Okay."

The walking group, not in the carriage, had exchanged such exchanges by dropping the tone of their voices.

I won't let you get hurt. Kidnapping of my sister is also prohibited.

Based on what they were talking about, is the blackmail still the purpose? Or even if the kidnapping succeeds, I may be willing to see it fit and free myself.

At least, I feel like I can't call it a simple ransom purpose anymore, even if it's kidnapping. You should know your siblings' qualities and see them moving with some thoughts.

To say that you are unwilling to do direct harm to your siblings does not mean that you can distract yourself. Because they haven't touched a word on the safety of their servants or escorts.

In the first place, it can be an accident if you wield a blade even if you are unwilling to do harm.

The carriage carrying my brothers and sisters was… proceeding through the Central District and looking out over Theorem to the West Side.

Nishi-ku... If it's a sightseeing, would it be a port or a shipyard where nobles would see it? Maybe we'll go check out the moored Sirius.

Assuming my brothers and sisters go to see the shipyard... and get away with it.

Considering the alleys near here and the escape routes from the West Side, it makes sense that the West Side is cluttered with alleys as a place to set up. The difficulty will increase when the executioners let everyone go.

In that regard, there may be a place in the West Side where you can escape into the sewer, making it harder to follow.

But if you're saying you took a backwards look at the shipyard and made a plan... that's synonymous with selling fights against me too.

Without the shipyard, noble brothers and sisters would not have been able to make it to the West End.

No, I didn't build a shipyard to make you use it in that ridiculous way.

"I know where they're trying to set me up. West End. Maybe he grabbed a look at the shipyard."

"What do you want to do?

"Rapidly in Valor. If it actually moves, I'll smash it."

I could have let him swim if there wasn't going to be a problem, but if the signs of actually launching a raid from now on were thick, this would need to crack and go in. It's a form of brightening and crushing as a current offender.

"Take care, Theodore"

Standing up, Claudia says. Mallane takes a serious look at my face, too. Giggles back to them.

"I'll get back to you on the comms. I guess I'll keep in touch with the Knights too."

"I will be able to work with the Alliance at any time."

"If you need me, I'll go to Isabella's too"

And, Grace and Sheila.

At Isabella's... I mean, let's also ask for the help of the Bandit Guild. Suppose you allow yourself to escape and follow your movements day and night, even if you are lurked.

"Take care."

"Good luck."

Before leaving the Adventurer Alliance, Forceto and Zion dropped me off with them.

"Mm, I'm coming"

Nod to everyone and leave the Adventurer Guild. Enter the alley, kick the wall from the building wall and jump all the way up over the city at once.

We just took enough altitude unnoticed from our opponents to fly to the West End aboard a magically-filled valor.

Speaking of aristocratic brothers and sisters... he traveled by carriage on the slopes of the West End, as close to the harbor... where he got off and looked at the shipyard, raising his voice like he was impressed.

"As I was telling you, that's a good view. That's the Sirius made by the ambassador of the other world."

"It's a beautiful white ship. We had a good souvenir story."

And, behind my brothers and sisters interacting in a superior mood - the men were expanding in the shadow of the building.

Everyone wore a headscarf that covered everything but their eyes.... are you going to take action here? A man who climbed lightly over the building stares an arrow in his little bow.

The aim is - to be your man. Let's smash our legs to escape first. We'll shoot the arrows and then we'll all set up a raid.

At that moment when he set the target for the arrow and squeezed it, and shot it away... A black shadowy whip was flashing from the shadow of the building. Cadkeus, who was moving around the opposite side of the building to become a guardian for his brothers and sisters, missed the track by playing the unleashed arrows.

The archer rounds his eyes under his headscarf, but he doesn't seem to understand what got in his way.

The arrows, heavily deflected from orbit and losing momentum, fall into cobblestone to make noise. Following the sound with their gaze, the escorts had their first startling look there.

"I took it off at this distance......!? No, now...?

"Shit! Assault!

The men rushed out and the escorts who received it spread their hands to shelter their brothers and sisters from bows and arrows, pulling out their swords and shouting.

"Yu, we're being targeted with bows and arrows! Be careful!

"Oh, both of you! Then hide in the shadow of the carriage! I'll be your shield, so watch the gap and get in the carriage!

Apparently the old servant didn't know where the arrows had flown from, and he was trying to spread his hands wide enough to be a shield for the two of them and evacuate them into the shadow of the carriage while looking around.

"Grandpa! Oh no...!

"I'm going to be our shield!? That's not true!"

"Not if you're asking! Hurry up!"

The escorts confront the men who were jumping from left to right of the building with their swords.

Quick to deal with, but passive to many. Keeping the arrow on the bow again so that the man on the roof can regain his mind. The aim this time is an old servant.

It's clear now. These guys hope to get the injured out, even if their siblings are going to get it done intact. So what's the purpose of it? To incite fear and hatred?

But - I won't let you shoot the second shot.

"Out of the way!

A steep descent from where we reached just above the scene at Valor's highest speed. Allow the ice shotgun to rain on the roof by a belly-up archer.

"Gi -!?"

The shooter's scream was quenched by the roar of an ice shotgun slamming the roof. Turning the trajectory of the Valor pulling the tail of the light into a right angle with a ground rinse, he penetrates the men at high speeds from side to side.

What gives you time to understand the situation and think -!

Wind it up in Uroboros and blow it over the sky the moment you come in contact with it. He releases a chunk of ice toward the man thrown up in the air and goes into the next man without killing his speed.

At the moment of the clash, he slapped the dragon wand he was shaking up straight from the top.

Every sword I tried to take, I smashed my clavicle, sank it to crush it to the ground, jumped up to bounce, to the next man crossing swords with his escort.

Knock your knees into your temples from side to side and Nemea and Capella kick your shield and reflect in the opposite direction. Release the balls in another direction to kick the ball in at the same time. The blow of Uroboros and the assault of Valor knocked two men down almost simultaneously. One more -!

A man watching his buddies collapse in a bum in a remote place was turning himself over with his eyes open and screaming. Looks like he's going to escape into the alley. But I won't let you get away with it.

"Go!

Valor, who stayed in the air, becomes a light bullet and follows the man. Cadkeus, who took the bird figure and rose above it, figured out the man's escape route. From alley to alley Valor tracks accurately.

"Ugh, whoa!?

It's not exactly the speed at which you can run away. The light bullet chased after him and touched the flank of the man who was about to bend. Instead of shooting through it, accelerate the man's movements so that he keeps pushing. Clash against the stone wall at an unrelenting rate.

"Damn!?

So that he was caught between the stone walls and the valor, and the man whose ribs had been broken rolled up to the ground with a distressed voice.
