Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

The next day.

Even if you rub your mind, you can't help it.Lenore set out into the city to prepare Mertina for a short stay.

I could have asked my servant Wefosh to repair the entrance door that was slashed by a trap.I wanted you to prioritize it, and above all, Lenore herself didn't feel calm about yesterday's incident and didn't feel like standing still in the room.

I don't know what the Monotra and its presence will look like in the future, but I'm sure there won't be any tough moves yesterday.I tend to hate flashy behavior as an iron rule for those hands.Probably take another course.At least, there should be some respite now.

(Long time no see....)

If you don't come back this way, you won't have a chance to walk the city.

Not to mention the neutral area of Halschwart, which is quite bustling when it comes to the center.

……

In such a trample,

(That man...!)

Lenore accidentally discovered a monotora.

A skinny man walking around with his back rounded.Short, reddish-brown hair and a slightly warped face.In this cold, you're not even wearing your jacket.There was no mistake in seeing it yesterday today.

Behind the waves, farther away.I don't think my friends are accompanying me.

…………

--Who is this man in the first place?

Presentation of a broken amount for the treatment of memory loss.Even if it is a grand language, its scale is out of order.You will not be able to tell a complete lie to the person you are dealing with.

If so,

(Do you really... remember my mother...?)

I shouldn't have gotten lost.

If my mother is going to suffer, I don't have to push her back.

Lenore told Lenin that.That's the truth from the bottom of my heart.

But if you turn around...

(If you can get your memory back without placing a burden on your mother.....)

A temptation to enter a gap in your heart.

(... yeah, that's right)

I reckon I can't do it.

The palace doctors were much better than their predecessors, even Mertina, who can handle the best healing techniques in Badalnois.No matter how advanced a sealing technique can be...

……

While thinking about it, Lenore's legs followed Monotra.

Either way, the man and the organization behind him are interested in Mertina.I lost my coolness yesterday and slapped him back, but I didn't miss him more than I saw.

No deep pursuit, if you get anything.

Follow the Monotra at a certain distance, as we have done on missions during the Palace of Servitude.

Eventually, it fell off the crowded front road into a narrow alley.Still, I followed him for a while without being noticed.

……

The monotora stopped at the corner of the street where nothing happened.

It's not like I noticed a tail.It's not a vigilant atmosphere. Perhaps this is

(Rendezvous......)

A few minutes later, Lenore watched from between the buildings, and a man appeared to prove the correctness of his guess.

……

Lenore was stunned.

The person who came, of course, didn't know his face.He's a middle-aged man who could be anywhere.

(... soldier...!?)

Yes. He was a regular Badalnois soldier in silver armor.

It wasn't like questioning a monster standing in a corner of the city with suspicion.The technique of greeting at the beginning of the encounter, the smile on both faces.It can be seen from a distance that the two of them knew each other.

(... why are soldiers with that man...)

For whatever reason, I don't have a good feeling that the guardian of the law and the man of the suspicious organization will speak intimately.

(... I can't hear you from here...)

It was Lenore who wanted to come a little closer and listen to the conversation, but suddenly there was a loud noise from behind.

"......!"

Unfortunately, snow fell from the roof of the building.

It is not the fault of Lenore.But it doesn't matter. Flashy sounds attract their attention unreservedly.

Reflectively turning his back, Lenore quickly retreated to the back of the building to avoid being found by the two of them.I was going to change the location and continue surveillance.

"....."

The place where the wrapped Lenor came out.

Until now, people had disappeared in the place where Monotra and the soldiers stood.

Mertina contacted us the following evening.

Len, we're almost there. Should I go shopping in the mall... eh?Aren't you coming to the Mansion? Got a place to stay?Does Len come to see you?- Well, it's kind of serious.All right, I'll do whatever you say. "

Mertina Snow is the fastest switcher.You don't have to be confused by sudden events, but you can be ready for them right away.

Lenore explained the situation to her as soon as she met at a cheap lodging just outside the shopping district.

For the time being, I heard Mertina's reaction.

"Hmm. When you think I'm being targeted... yeah, there's too many of them to figure out the opposite."

It's a living legend with no strangers in the North.Sometimes you can be called by people who want to name themselves.That visibility alone is too good a reason to be noticed.

"I'm also worried about connecting with soldiers.Corruption by one person is still good - no, it's not good, but it's a bit of a hassle when it comes to the whole organization... "

The Badalnois soldiers are divided into three factions.

It is not clearly counterproductive or contentious.

However, grooves do exist to the extent that they blunt each other's cooperation.Because of the poor ventilation between organizations, poor communication is a mess.

Omzolf was appointed king, but "Snowstorm White Knights" Gracela Duela "- his relationship with Svoorn is mainly unpleasant.These conditions have persisted for a long time because the people directly below each other support the leader.

Naturally, this is an unfavourable trend.The more people who are indifferent to other factions, the slower they are discovered when a group of people plan something unexpected occurs.

"Damn it... I don't want you to know much.Emmanuelle is going to rattle, and Svorne is going to whisper to Emmanuelle. "

As for Meltina, she was more concerned about the relationship crash that resulted than about what she was being targeted for.

"It's hard to get extra worried.Let's find out a little about it without telling Emmanuelle and the others. "

Lenore nodded cockroaches at Mertina's suggestion.

The fastest thing to do is still catch the trap.

(... if I knew you were connected to a soldier, I wouldn't let you escape)

As for Lenore, I regret that, but such a thing is impossible without the power of the future vision.

"Haha, as always, Len's sketch is a first-class product.But what a lowly man. "

Meltina smiled impressively when she handed over a piece of paper depicting the face of a tiger.

Incidentally, it is a Lenore that can grasp the characteristics of the opponent and reflect them in detail on paper, but it was not possible to reproduce even the face of the soldier who was talking to Monotra.Seen a little from afar, it's really tough.

In such a case, it is almost impossible to draw a face that is far from the actual, and the reliability of the material is significantly impaired.In principle, it is strictly forbidden to rethink or redraw it.

For the time being, the goal should be to target only one monotora.

"It's not a good idea to ask a soldier... I don't know who Kuro is.Listen to people and travelers. "

--From the information thus obtained, it turns out that Monotra has already left Halschwart behind.

If you were the man who wanted to see Meltina, it would be ironic.I ran into an employee of the carriage association and got testimony that he was heading north.

Lenore and Mertina soon left the city and followed their footsteps, "The Skull."

"... this is going to take longer than I thought."

A small town that went north for about two days.

Meltina blurred tirelessly as she sat on a bed in a small inn with her shoulders pounding.

The blizzard has hit me, and the carriage is behind schedule.And we can't rely on soldiers because we don't know how many people are connected to the suspicious organization.

Because of these factors, even in Mertina, there was an atmosphere that was unlikely to be solved immediately.

"From here on out, there is only a city to the north.If you keep going like this, you won't end up in the Emperor's City.... "

Hmm, Meltina roared, telling her it was nothing.

Ren, you're going back to Halschwart.

"!... why?"

It almost reflexes down.

"I wouldn't do that.I've been doing this for years.The academy will start soon, won't it?You won't be able to make it to the new semester.Besides, you just greeted Lord Lenin and returned from the Imperial Capital to Halschwart.It's a good place to go back and forth to the Imperial Capital in such a short time. "

"... if that's what you're saying..."

"Well, that's not a big deal."

Fufu, she smiled impatiently and said as usual.

"I'm Mertina Snow. Don't worry about it."

Confidence like 'Penta', kindness like hers.

"I have to go back to the Imperial Capital anyway.Besides, I was bored that the Challenger didn't show up at all yesterday.It looks like a customer from the outside, so I'll hold it with respect. "

He smiled meaningfully and sent a glance to Lenore.

"When you get home on your next long vacation, I'll let you know what this is all about."

"... I am Mel's servant.... we have an obligation to solve the problem together."

"The squire is now a Raindeer student.If you don't do your part first, I'll be in trouble.I recommended studying abroad. "

"... but..."

"I know. I'm going to offer you 15 million esques with the confidence to heal Lenin with a strange sealing tool...I'm not the one who can be alarmed. "

That's why Meltina's expression tightens.

"If it looks more troublesome than I thought, I won't go any further, but I'll talk to Emmanuel.So let's get Len back to his usual life.This is an order from my employer. "

That being said, the Servant has no objection.

"... okay."

All right, all right, good boy.

"... but really... be careful"

"Yeah, I'll send you a letter if anything happens."

So - staying overnight, the next day Lenore returns to Halschwart alone.

It was after noon at dawn overnight that the plan was covered from the ground up.
