"That's right. So he saw it on Fourth Avenue."

"Really? You want a million and you're blowing it properly."

"But if you say something stupid, it's a punishment...Just in case, he said he'd go today. "

"Really...... hey, why don't we join in?That's not what happens when you get this chance.Our lives are tough. "

"That's right... I don't think that's going to be a good time... but I'm free anyway, and sometimes it's just in case.Let's go for a while.Better than nothing. "

It was two groups of citizens and young people who slowly passed each other while having such a conversation.

"... Bergrette, just now..."

"... yeah"

In the light snow, Julie walks next to her, carefreely gazing at the knight.

We both made the purchase, that way home.

Even if you look at the street bulletin board and the entrance to the tavern, the announcement is largely posted with a likeness of a familiar girl.

"... is Lenore somewhere in this imperial capital...?

"... I don't know... but I think the situation will be moving soon."

Now, it's not just bounty hunters.Citizens of Ichii are also showing great interest in this matter.If you are forced to live a hard life, it is an opportunity to get a lot of money.

…………

As the world floated on the announcement, Bergrette flew his thoughts into the past.

(Originating from the discovery of a note in Lenore's Mansion suggesting a connection to the Orchester)

As a result, the Badalnois and Bergrette families became aware of the existence of this dark organization.

(The other day, I got a call from Mr. Greenfoot....)

After checking with Hydro, who finally cooperated with Griffinia, an old known matter, it turns out that a strange event was happening in Halschwart, far away from here.Hydro also noticed it for the first time this time, so I was indignant about what was going on.

(... and we were invited by Mr Omzolf to enter Badalnois...)

I've always wondered.

At first, it was just a slight discomfort.But...

(... that meant...)

While thinking, Bergrette looked at the person next to him who lined up.

She... Julie is walking as she cools off the powdered snow that has stuck to her long blonde hair.

(Immediately the next day, there was a report of Lenore discovery in Eubasullah)

Rendezvous with General Bendism and the others who responded locally.And what I realized was,

(General and Mr. Gamiha... the soldiers' 'perception', including those two...)

I went face-to-face with Lenore, but I didn't know the details or what I wanted to know.

She pushed us hard.

(If I'm right...)

Meltina's appearance failed to secure Lenore the next day.

After finishing lunch at the restaurant, a battle broke out with a group that scattered its thoughts.

A number of mysteries and truths emerged from it.

(What was originally happening was simple and clear.The coincidence overlapped and I was bewildered for no reason.)

In that kind of thinking,

"We've been walking all over the place....."

Of course. Julie looks across the street and makes a small mouth.

"People living in Badalnois are tough, right?Even though this cold and snow are bad, I haven't been able to recover from past events...I've seen a city that's insecure and difficult to live in, but the severity of this country is different. "

Behind her gaze was an old beggar sitting with a piece of cloth that she hesitated to call clothes.

"... that's right."

Previously, there were zero immigrant women in the back alley that passed by.

Most of my compatriots are in a similar situation now.An overwhelming majority of those suffering, whether born Badarnois or not.

(... under such circumstances, this announcement)

After a short stroll along the boulevard and around the corner of the crossroads, you'll arrive at the Gotofree Clinic, which is a familiar place to stay.

"Arrival. Aahhhhh!Let's get warm. "

Behind Julie's back as she drops snow on her coat and shoes at the front door, Bergrette confirms receipt of the letter by the front door.



A sealed letter arrived in it.

The sender's name is Hefner Agston.I received the results of the investigation you requested the other day.

Cut the seal and read through a letter that had been stored.

………………

She shook up the dull cold sky.

A slight muscle of light was pouring down from the clouds.

Isn't it OK to confirm?

…………

But anyway, because it's about you, you want to say there's no evidence?

……

But I think you know... the situation won't change even if you wait.When this happens, we have to be ready.

"... yeah.That's right. "

The silent voice of a girl who never reached anyone disappeared into a void with a white breath.

"Oh, no, Edwin. Remember?

"Ah? What are you doing?

While moving the knife sharply, the goblin remembers and laughs and asks.

"As soon as I came to the academy... I was admitted to the hospital for a while after I defeated Farvnar.That's when everyone came to see me... all of them peeled off their apples. "

"Ah, there it is.I don't think so. "

As he remembers, his throat snorts as he lays on the bed.

"While everybody strips it off and gives it to me, just Edvin, give it to me in a round burn."

While laughing at each other, Yufu arranged the cut apples on a plate.Like everybody did that time.

"Here you go."

Ah, I'm sorry.

Edwin received the plate, stretching out his arm wrapped in a bandage.

The diagram is the opposite of that.Edwin is lying on the floor, and Izumi-san is taking care of him.

But stupid stories and laughter don't change.

"No, but I was really surprised the other day.I suddenly got a message from Julie... "Edvin is in trouble!because they say, "

Until then, Edwin, who had slept quietly, suddenly said, "Can you fish?"But he moaned," It's over now, isn't it? "

"Besides... you've seen beautiful flower fields and rivers...?

"Oh, I've never seen Raindell before, I've never seen anything like it."

"It's dangerous... it's the Midway River..."

I wonder if it's real, and the guardian shrugs his shoulders.And even in such a different world.Anyway, I can't help but say you're back.

"Does your ear feel good anymore?

When the godfather points to his ear and asks,

"Oh, my God."

While holding the painfully bandaged part, Edwin nodded.

…………

- That day. The Guardians finally knew what had happened to Edwin, too, late.

When I saw him lying on this bunk, I remembered some discomfort, but it was finally resolved.

- Unlike Sabel, the treatment that was applied to Edwin's ear.

It matches the characteristics of Orchester members heard from Raltz and Gadgado.

(Sounder... a flashy woman with a bunch of bells hanging)

The woman who easily wiped out the bandits in the base of the group to which Raltz once belonged, and defeated Edwin with no teeth, even though he was already dying.Sure, his name is Mutty.

And the other one. As we suspected, the Merchant possessed a handshot and still possessed a physical ability comparable to that of a goblin.The opponent Edwin couldn't get rid of.

At first, I thought it was someone, but I found out by consulting with Larutz and the others the other day.

(Maybe he was wearing some kind of weird armor like Septius...)

Its name is Monotra.

According to Edwin, there was a metallic gloss peeking from the abdomen of the target, who struck the scatter bomb directly.It is doubtful whether it can be worn under clothing, but there is no doubt that it was equipped with special protective equipment.

Raltz agrees that there will be no mistake in speculation around here.

(I don't know why they missed Edwin on purpose....)

There are still many mysteries, but one by one I see the enemy.

(Aldomiral, Mutti, Monotra, Kinzel... they're probably like regular members)

And informants lurking inside Badalnois.

In addition,

(…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………It's like a pseudonym, but if you put this in, six of them...)

The characteristic appearance of the person has been heard from Greenfoot, but a luxurious man aged 30 to 40 who is full of wild taste.It does not match the person who has left so far.

Destroy all of these and bring Lenore back.

(... even so, what was the purpose of the Lenore...)

The theory of "fusing with Mertina and treating Lenin's memory loss," everyone had expected from the beginning.

Now that I have heard the details from Lenin himself, I can assume that this has been largely denied.Because I said I didn't have to force my memory back.

(... then Lenore doesn't intend to 'fuse' at the expense of Mertina.In fact, Mertina was alive and well.But... then...?

For what reason is the Mertina being given to Orchester?No more organs will be removed than they were alive?

If she was Omzolf and her best friend in the first place, couldn't she explain the situation before she got tired?Perhaps it was not possible to consult with the lord of a country, given that he was the most involved in a dark organization.

I was relieved that Lenore's motive for committing the crime had been overshadowed, but that caused me to encounter a huge mystery from the very beginning.

"Edwin... what do you think?Lenore's Purpose...... "

Ask him about the apple.

"Ah? That's right...... he relied on someone from himself, even if he was relied on by others.So honestly, I can't imagine.I can't believe I'm hanging out with the Orchesters and doing something nice. "

Hmm.

"If you look at the usual guy, somehow you don't know.He's not the one who's going to take the lead in the circle. "

"Certainly...."

So... it was Mertina who took the lead on Orchester, and Lenore followed her?If so, is the Reason on Mertina's side?

(... but I've been studying Belko here and there... and it seems that Mertina didn't have any sign of it...Suddenly at the beginning of the year, it felt like they were both gone.)

... it's going to be difficult to deduce any more from the defense.

Ou, you son of a bitch

"Yes, sir."

Receiving an empty plate from Edwin,

…………

The guardian glanced at his face unexpectedly.

"Ah? What are you, Aliumi?You got something on my face?

"No...."

I wonder what it is. Ever since I woke up the other day, Edwin's expression seemed to be blowing out.

For the last few months, it's like I've been cutting my feathers off... and the danger is disappearing from my tight face.It feels like that.

Something wrong?It's weird to ask....)

I don't have to ask.He remained asleep after the raid.There's no room for anything.I don't think there was time for a change in mood...

Strangely, as she cleared the dishes and knives, she opened the door of the hospital room and saw Sabel come in.

"Oh... how are you, Edwin boy?"

"I think it's still better than you."

Sabel was pulling his leg with his crutches.I was able to get up somehow, but it was far from perfect.From the point of view of the goalie, their injuries weigh both.

A few days after Edwin woke up.I don't know how much time it takes for both of us to be fully satisfied.

But at least if they're being targeted by the enemy now, there's no way to do it.That's for sure.

Bergrette and Julie are out right now.As a result, in case of any emergency, ambulance remained in the clinic.

"Yo, come on... whoa"

Sabel managed to get back to his bedside.I left my seat to pick up some tea in the waiting room.

You told me to get it.

"I can't rely on you or Julie.... it feels crazy when it's dark day and night. "

It's a little past noon now, but the hospital room is like a dark night, and it's been forced to brighten by installing several candles and candles.Because the windows are blocked by snow, we need light.

"... hey, it's Lugo."

Potsli and Sabel quietly called.

"... are you really going to fight?With Orchester. "

More questions now. But it is clear what he thought and asked for it.

"... that Aldomiral was unfortunate, but he wasn't in my hands.No, how many people can beat him...If Orchester had that many other users... "

They are mistaken for us.If you bump into them, you can't just do it.

"Don't worry."

The answer was not a godsend.

"Sabel's husband, you just don't know yet.The real power of Lugo Aliumi. "

"You're going to give me a hurdle, Mr. Edwin.... that's right. "

Speaking of the presumed shield, he punches his palm into his fist.

"... it looks like Belle's investigation is underway here and there.When the time comes, I'll just go wild.... no matter who you're dealing with, you'll never lose. "

Fu, Sabel exhales vaguely.

"... I see.If you say so, I won't force you to stop..... "

When I was having a chat with him, the entrance was obviously noisy.

It sounds like Bergrette and Julie are back.

"Well, you're back.I'll pick you up. "

As the goalie entered the waiting room, Julie was about to dive through the front door.I wonder if you were clearing up the snow-capping tools at the house, or if Bergrette came in a little late.

As they greet each other, Julie leaves her shopping bag on her desk and speaks with excitement.

"Yes, it's amazing.Looks like it's working. "

"? What are you talking about?

It's Lenore's letter of arrangement.Normally, the wrong people talk about it. "

Oh, I see.

"This could be a big step forward."

It's an example of Omzolf's measure.

Recently, the amount of the sweepstakes was determined and changed to a form in which 10% of the sweepstakes are paid to the person who provided the information leading to the securing of Lenore himself.Though 10%, the amount amounts to a million and a half.It is only natural that there will be more people in this story.

Hundreds of reports were received on the morning of the first day, and Omzolf went straight for confirmation.

But it's not just the benefits.

So if Lenore's captivity becomes realistic and can be crude to her, there is a possibility that someone will come out there and try to capture it with their own hands in order to monopolize the prize.If someone shows up to kick someone else, the line on the following side will be disturbed.

In addition, Omzolf himself was concerned when he came up with this proposal, but the information would be compounded.

That doesn't mean that no one is intentionally circulating false information because they still have an advantage.There were penalties for such acts, so I don't think it would be so bad....

Regardless, this is a measure to break the current glued situation.Omzolf thinks he doesn't have to connect directly to Lenore.

(... but somehow... Migasinthia didn't object to this proposal... rather...)

I took the initiative to offer my cooperation.The person who ran into him by chance at the morning market the other day talks joyfully.

Of course, there is a lot of possibility that you are planning something behind it.

(I'm simply worried about Lenore...)

It will attract more people's interest and be targeted.There is still concern in the sense of danger.

"... the ingredients are going to be gone."

And so Bergrette, who came late, said, disappeared into the next room.

……

I wonder what it is. I thought it was strange that I wasn't feeling well.

"... Lugo, Lugo.It's always been like that, Bergrette.After all, it doesn't feel so good to have a lot of bounty hunters take care of your friends...Come on, give him a little comfort.Show me your boobs! "

"Ha, ha."

Julie pushed her back and forced her to follow Bergrette in the middle of the day.

"... Belko?

As she came out of the entrance to the room, she was organizing the ingredients as declared.

When the door was closed, Bergrette stopped his hand sharply.

"... Lugo..."

Maybe it's because the room is dim.Looking back, the Knight Girl's face seemed to be overwhelmed with anxiety.

"Um, so, Belle... are you okay?You must be busy here and tired. "

"... nn. It's okay."

Ever since Edvin woke up, she's been out collecting information with the street guards and Julie.Gadgard, Larutz, and Greenfoot were also exchanging information.

"Ah, well, what happened to Hefner's findings?It's about time we got here. "

When she remembered, she took it out of her chest.

"... yeah. Then it arrived just when I came back."

Handed it over, it's already been sealed off.I've seen it through my eyes.

"May I see it?

"Yeah."

There are two types of surveys that I have requested in advance.

Whether Niklas, a male member of the deceased museum, has ever participated in a petition meeting.If so, who was present?

And on the day of the incident, did the employees of the restaurant who responded to the street guardians have the same "secret destiny"?If so, did you still participate in the grievance meeting?And if so, who was present?

(And if that Migas Cynthia is biting...)

Suspicion is no longer conclusive.

"............................................................?

It was because of that thought that Iwamori doubted his eyes.

The contents of Hefner's investigation described in the letter were as follows.

It was almost certain that the restaurant had the same "secret destiny" as the museum.The target is the store manager. On the day of the incident, the person who served the valet.

I was also able to say that I had participated in an opinion grievance.

That's good.

"This is...."

But...

An unexpected problem arose as the manager participated in the grievance meeting.

My key Omzolf got sick and couldn't attend.

So the store manager's response was...

(Migasinthia... no.)

General Bendism, there's only one.

Elsa, a female staff member at the museum, testified that she was part of the definition of "winning".Therefore, I'm sure I could have consulted you if I had any concerns.

However, Hefner was very surprised that he didn't know anything about the absence of the Virgin, who was said to be the leading role of the association.

And one more thing.

About the murdered museum clerk, Niklas.

He also turned out to have chaired the grievance committee.

This is handled by Ohmzolf.

But the name of the person accompanying him is Gebi de Fortoon.

(Gebi... that dark root bastard...)

It is also remembered by the guardian.

To Raindell... one of the white knights who pushed me into Lenore's room in the student building.Like Svorne... no, he didn't hide any more hostility.

Better than that now.

(... what do you mean... the grievance members are falling apart...)

It was Miga Sintia who saw Elsa.

When I was a restaurant manager, there was no Omzolf, and there was only General Bendism.

In case of nikuras, gabi.

There is no one in common with anything brilliantly.

Hefner told me a little about this conversation before, but Migasinthia and Gebi tend to antagonize Migasinthia unilaterally rather than being friends with dog monkeys...Therefore, even though the same "Snowstorm White Knights" "Gracela Duela", it is impossible to think of any conspiracy between these two.

Migastine was involved in all of this - and it was supposed to be an investigation to consolidate that fact.

But now...

"Belko, this...."

Was it wrong to assume that 'informants are involved in the grievance' or that 'people's weaknesses are grasped from there'?

Will the investigation go back to the forehead again?

"... Lugo..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

It was a fading voice, so I urged her as she approached.

"Lugo... will you stay with me no matter what...?

"Heh, heh!?

All of a sudden I was told not to anticipate, and I suddenly lost my crazy voice.

But soon I realize.The words were not spoken consciously, such as homosexuality.Bergrette's face was as serious as ever and his shoulders seemed to tremble slightly.

"Beliko... what's wrong?

"... I've been thinking about it all along.I want you to scrutinize the information you've got so far... and accept the letter. "

Shivering lips, finally.

"------I finally see it.The whole story of this case. "

Clearly, she definitely told me so.

"What? Huh!?

The guardian compares the gripped letter with the girl knight's face.

"Huh? But this... isn't what I expected... eh?

It's not like I'm going back to the hairline.Everything has been found out.

But she kept her eyes down.

"... yeah.Everything matches my guess. "

"... really?"

I don't know why anymore.

"As usual, I still can't guess... but if this idea is right... why Lenore was chased, who the informant was and why, and Orchester's intentions... all lead to one.... it's just... "

"... just?

"I knew there was no evidence.All this is speculation from the situation.There is no conclusive proof. "

"No, but if we can figure it out, we're one step away.Is there anything I can do...?

I can't say anything because I haven't heard the details yet, but Bergrette says so.It should be likely to be a "win".

However, when she sifted herself, she shook her neck sideways.

"... this enemy is extremely clever.Probably not tail out.So..... "

The following words from the wise knight of the girl:

I doubted my ears without thinking of a godsend.

"We have to drag them out."

"... dragging... out?

A slightly rough remark was made, and the defense rebelled.But without a doubt, she shook her neck vertically.

"Create a situation here where the identity of the enemy is determined.Drag out the decisive reality... and poke it into a situation you can't escape.It's the only way. "

Strong intentions. It erupted as words.

"... I see.I don't know, but if that's what Belle decided.... "

"So that's the question I asked you earlier.... will Lugo be on my side...?

"I don't know, that's even more so now.Oh no, I... I told you one day. "

Whoever in the world becomes the enemy of Bell child... I am on Bell child's side.Even if I turn the whole world against you, I'm on your side. "

It was just after Detlev's case was solved.

Looking back now, I was ashamed... and above all, it was a shallow line.

Too naive to speak only of Bergrette's favor.

When I brought Mia back in the immediate aftermath of the incident, I was forced to prove my helplessness.See the harshness of other worlds.

- But...

Know the world better and empower it.And even if the return to modern Japan, which was the original purpose, the protection of the current came back by its own will.

To 'protect' Bergrette and her friends.

To make the word too light a weighty one.

"Leave it to me. I don't care who I'm dealing with anymore."I don't know if it's" Penta, "but maybe it's a criminal organization, maybe it's a country, but no matter how powerful it is, it's a resentful demon...."

I dare declare. Become a devout believer in this world where God's presence is believed.

It would even amount to blasphemy, with determination.

"--God, if you're in my way, I'll beat you to death."

A knight with an open eye loosens her mouth after a while.

"... if Claire asks, I'll faint."

"Ha ha ha. That's what you used to do with Belle, isn't it?

"Yes... maybe."

She broke her face a little, but soon she returned to her serious expression.Strange tensions appear on that side of the face that tends to lie down.

Belle, tell me more.

".... nh"

She nods, but she doesn't try to keep talking.You're breathing to prepare your mind.What is the truth that Bergrette has come to?

"... let me handle it."

The boy once again says to Bergrette, who is unable to step out.

I'm on Belle's side.

"... Lugo..."

"Belle doesn't have to get lost.Whatever happens, I'm by Belle's side.Definitely protect. I'll get rid of all the disturbing monkeys. "

As a matter of course, the "Punch" "Rackels" that holds his fist.

"So tell me.- Give me the name of the guy I should hit. "
