Man is a creature accustomed to the environment.

Even the reality that seems unusual is always accepted.

"Hey, just before he disappeared, Lenore was seeing someone suspicious."

I wonder if that thing is about that tiger.It's not a lie. But I want you to stop saying things that are flawed.

"Oh, that happens a lot.You've been plotting something unexpected for a long time. "

Hold on a second.

Don't tail the story.

"New information. Lenore was part of a dark group like Orchester."

Make him laugh.

Someday, he became a member of an organization he had never heard of.

They found a note from the Mansion to prove it.

That's a lie. There's no way something like that will come out.

"Oh, my God! The bounty hunter who chased Lenore was killed...!"

I don't know. I haven't seen him.You can't do such a thing.

"At first, there were not many opinions that such a story would be possible.But if you're innocent, you'll be named at the beginning.Without that, when the evidence comes out again and again.... "

No, that wasn't the situation.

Evidence?

No, I created it.

--There are terrible facts.

Truth does not necessarily drive away lies.

It's supposed to be a lie. It's supposed to be more powerful when a lot of people say it.Even irresponsible gossip and the most obvious posteriori reasoning become elements that decorate it and grow into more robust theories.

And eventually, it will be replaced.

Nobody knows the truth... but I haven't seen it, just like it's the only fact.

By everyone chanting, lies outweigh the truth.

Replaced by the 'truth', which no one doubts.

Whether or not it actually happened doesn't matter.That's what they say.

― ― In this way, a rare great sinner, Lenore, who would remain in the history of Badalnois was born.

They did it.

There are people who have been agitated.It must have been a monotora.The soldier the man was secretly meeting was one of them, but several people conspired to manipulate the direction.

As in the case of Farnagar, this is partly due to the creation of air that accepts ridiculous things.

Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore.

Who was the suspicious person I met with Lenore, when it was exactly, whether there were really people who saw the bounty hunter being killed and the scene where Lenore was fighting, and who found the note at home and what it said... no one cared about that anymore.

If the soldiers set it up, the people have no doubt about it.Even between soldiers, suspicion diminishes when several colleagues say something like that.

This is not all a lie, and perhaps the Orchester organization, for example, exists.It is unclear whether the monotora belongs to it, but there are people who will still be suspicious if everything is false.Interweave some truth and sublimate lies to something more credible.

Perhaps that's why some bounty hunters were actually killed.

Lenore has no allies.

My mother Lenin has lost her memory and has no other family.The half-brothers are so rare that some don't even know their faces, and their brother Svorne is not close.On the contrary, it was very tough, and I didn't want to face each other very much since I was a child.

The fact that she was harassed during her period of service, that her mother suffered from mental illness and retired from active service, and that she studied at a college in another country... those who speculate freely about such facts also appear.

He didn't talk, he didn't know what he was thinking.

At last, he tries to find virtue in a merely silent character.She looked so good that she knew it from the beginning.

Perhaps even the very crime of taking Meltina now creates the most plausible motive, as if it were true.

Ultimately, the entire nation of Badalnois was hostile to the girl.

― ― But people are creatures accustomed to the environment.

Even though I was struck by all that nonsense,

"... Mel, I've already bought it.... I'm coming back."

Lenore was in her usual mood, flying communications to her best friend.

"Nh, okay, just be careful."

I've been living on the run for about half a month.

Day of the month, fifteenth day of the week.

Wrap the muffler deeply, wear a hat deep in your eyes, and then go on a majestic journey.Now it's everyday.

…………

But Lenore still behaves like that because of Mertina.

Before this happened, she tried several times to go to the royal palace.Every time, Lenore stopped it.

It must be the enemy's aim to expose Mertina.

(Monotra must be surprised.I should have thought Mel would go back to the royal palace lightly to make my arrangements.)

A nasty man and a nasty man get nasty in their hearts.

... but it's also a fact that things don't change for the better.

(There is no denying that there was some optimism here.)

I thought it wouldn't last forever.

Anyway, the content and the amount are ridiculous arrangements.

Such a bullshit announcement was found to be a false alarm immediately and I thought it would be withdrawn.

(Did you make up a good reason?)

He must have fabricated enough persuasive accusations to qualify Lenore as the great sinner of the century.

(I can't help thinking about it right now)

Now, how does it work from here?

We still have to sneak through the hands of soldiers and bounty hunters and find the tiger somehow.

Perhaps it won't be over until we catch that man.Perhaps someone inside the Royal Palace... someone with considerable influence must be leaping in as an informant.

To the extent that rumors have followed stories that I have not seen before, the situation will not swell to this point.No matter how poorly ventilated the interior of Badalnois is, it won't get any worse.

--Certainly, someone manipulated the facts and twisted them.

(But... that's...)

Who the hell are you? Who gets the money by imitating it like this?

Lenore initially doubted Svorne, albeit slightly.Motivation is to eliminate the hero Mertina, who is seen to be antagonistic or more.Without her, we can be the strongest in this country.

But I don't think that man, who's serious enough to call himself a hobbyist, is working with a criminal organization.I also understand that Mertina's power is essential to the nation.Above all, we must not imitate the man who despises the name Grosvitz, his surname.

(... and that person...)

Switch your mind from memories of the past.

Oh no, Omzolf.

That's impossible. She used to be a priestess at the Church of Cuarene God, and now she is the Lord of one country.

You can't tie hands with a horrible person like Svorne.

Even so, Lenore is not very involved, but for Mertina, he is another best friend.

The relationship hasn't changed since I was a student, and I don't hear any such stories as the relationship between the two has actually deteriorated.Rather, you can see it from the side.There is an unmatched bond between them.

It is comparable to Lenore in that it is not possible to sell a friend to a person in a strange organization.Then there is no way to connect with the people who are targeting Meltina.

("He" made them approve of my arrangement.Fifteen million is an unbelievable amount of money... it's not strange to be with Mel, even if I kidnapped him for a compelling reason)

Who can imitate so cunning?Try not to get caught up with even soldiers.

Gebi? Migasinthia? Androise? General Bendism? The minister in rehab?Or else...

……

I don't feel well. I suspect someone I've never thought of before is an enemy.

I'm also worried about my mother Lenin.I wonder how they heard about this incident.

However, it may be said that I was lucky to have lost my memory in this way.If my old mother had known about this, she would certainly not have fallen into a coma.

And as long as I don't remember, the hostage effect on Lenore is weak... so many people will think.I'm worried, but you don't have to think that there's a direct danger to my mother right now.

Above all, if Lenin, who was once the highest court chanter (Mage), were to be taken care of, the response would stand out.If you try to use it as a nasty means, people who feel uncomfortable will show up.

…………

Even if this case is solved... if someone who can be called a big guy pulls the thread, the subsequent processing will not go smoothly.With no manpower, Lenore is probably at Middle College....

Hah, and Lenore raised her face with a big breath,



I noticed the soldiers going to the city.

"Hey, what about you?"

"No... I wasn't there. Is the report true?"

A tight atmosphere. It's not like I'm on a patrol.

Their eyes turned towards us.

"Oh, hey... hello there."

"Ah, ahh...."

People get used to it.

Even an environment like the bottom of the underworld.

"Hey, hey, you, stop! It's Lenore!?"

Lenore ran into them suddenly.

― ― At the beginning of the arrangement, I tried to explain honestly.

On the spot the soldier found me, he said, "I'm innocent," "I didn't do anything."But there was no one who believed such a word.

If you don't resist, you'll get caught.

I don't know how many times this has happened again.We just have to break through. As usual.

It's only a matter of time before the other patrolmen find us.Calling for reinforcements is troublesome.

We decide to leave the area immediately and follow the escape route.

……

The back road of the residential area. There's a young soldier ahead.

If possible, I'd like to detour, but if I ever encounter another soldier after eating extra time, I'll end up falling.At least for now, we have confirmed that there are no other patrols around this area.

Fast frontal breakthroughs are best.

Whether you know it or not, it causes a faint ice storm and winds up powdered snow.Pull the curtains to the windows so that they are not visible from the surroundings.

Then we isolate the scene and try to approach it.

Approaching a distance of about ten steps with a large crotch, he also noticed the presence of Lenore.His surprised eyes were opened with astonishment.

"... hey, come in, somebody!"

When I tried to deploy communication technology with a hasty gesture,

"... waste.... you're the only one left."

In the vulgar words of the villain I read in the book, it makes me upset.

The effect was far-fetched, and the young soldier blurred in sight.

"Fuck, fuck, don't move!"

There is no way to miss this gap.I didn't feel uncomfortable with a bit of cowardice, but I had to let him sleep a little too.

Enter the gap between the building and the building and kill your breath.

……

We'll wait for a while, but there's no sign of anyone coming after us.

While relieved, Lenore looked up at the sky where thick clouds could stand.A grey dark shadow that hangs several times. The snow is twinkling from that gap, and the sky is a dreary cloud.

The weather makes it easier for me to move when I'm on the run.I had no choice but to wind up the powdered snow with my own technique.

Look at the face from the corner and check the left and right.

I don't think we need reinforcements, but I can't be alarmed.

We've already found it. We need to find a new hideout anyway.

We must leave this city as soon as we are discovered.We've disabled the soldiers quickly so far, but we don't necessarily have a chaser.

(Return to Mel as a top priority, and next...)

Run like a shadow through a city covered in powdered snow.

On the way, I came out to a corner with a great view.The buildings are thin in density and offer far-flung views.

……

He turned his face to the southeast sky.The muffler panicked in the breeze.

The gray clouds hanging down and the white-dyed streets.The plains that follow, and the horizons.Days go by, crossing the neutral zone of Halschwart, Raindeer... the way to Middle College.

Is everyone spending their days as usual by now?Or are you worried about not returning?

…………

Pull back your hair and shake off those thoughts.Turning her heel back, the snowstorm girl - the culprit starts running.

(Sorry, Belle, Claire)

What would you think if everyone knew about this?

Bergrette is a class leader with a strong sense of justice and responsibility.I might say something about going to Badalnois to hear the story directly.Of course, it would be impossible to move on to execution, regardless of how liberal a strong raindale is.

What about Claire?She hates heresy and injustice.Anger or contempt through such emotions.Recently, it has become rounded, so you may forgive me for being stupid and saying, "Don't be stupid and come back."

What about Daegos and Edwin?Was I enough for them to care?

And then...

(... mia)

A girl you can call your best friend.A girl who always stayed with me as if she was silent and not funny.

Are you worried?Are you sad?

I'm sorry.

But she'll be fine. I've been through all this hard work.I've seen it very close.

Recently, she has been able to sleep alone.I started to think for myself before asking for answers, even if I didn't know anything about the assignment.

Mia will be fine.

--Even if I'm gone, I'm sure I'll be fine.

……

For the last time, I shook up the southeast sky.

"No... well, if Lenore is about to get caught up in something strange and he can't come back to the academy when he wants to... help.If that's not the case, Belle and Mia... you know everyone's sad, right?I'll force you back, just like I did when you were a Daigos. "

No matter how hard he is, this situation is not going to work.

Above all,

"... well, if that happens in your future life, thank you very much."

You must have forgotten such a loving promise.

Besides,

I don't care.

I hope so.

(I want you to protect everyone)

Strong.

(Don't let this happen...)

A country called Raindeer. Don't let the place where everyone seems to love you get off track.

Squeaking, a sound sounds in your mouth.For the first time, Lenore realized that she was eating her teeth.

Finally, let me tell you something.

Dear friends, to those who were 'happy'.With sincere gratitude and kindness.

"--- Goodbye, everyone"

I'm sure we'll never go back to that place again. I can't go back.

Words that nobody can reach, and tracks that run on top of the new snow.

Lenore ran through the cold city by herself.
