The moment the flaming spear bursts.

A tremendous noise caused water vapor to rise on a scale that was not comparable to the previous raid. Vision is closed to the white darkness that has spread to blow.

"Ku......!

Under wind pressure, the drift shield unwittingly covers his face and puts his hands behind him.

(... water vapor, that means -)

"-Chick."

On the correspondence, Claria's tongue-in-cheek sounded.

"Shit, Shiro -!"

Continuing, Rin's yet angry voice.

The steam clears quickly, and on the stage - safely, the three of us appear. Huge walls of water covered them so as to envelop them.

Even from the pedestrian walls, a voice of relief leaks.

(... are you all right!

It was a drifting shield that caressed my chest down with relief,

(But what's going on? Now -)

None of the three of them had noticed the flaming spear flying in.

How could Claria deploy the water wall in such a situation?

Not long after I think.

Again, the darkness in the distance lit a flame.

- The second shot is coming.

"Don't get on with it, Dorothy!

King Ardia, who noticed, grows furious and hangs his legs trying to get up to the stage. but suppressed by four soldiers who refrained.

"It's dangerous, Your Majesty!

"Yeah, I did. Oh, come on!

"No! When His Majesty breaks out, the city and the people are in danger!

Oh, my God, I don't know. Shortly after that, a second flaming spear flew in a straight line.

But now it sounds like an explosion before it reaches the stage, fogging as it raises steam in the air.

He was releasing water spears so that Belgrette could confront him, intercepting flaming spears.

"Princess, over here!

I quickly run down the stage holding Princess Liliane as I go. The three ran out, protecting the sisters and pinching the princess.

"Dude, isn't that what you're getting at...!

Drifting shelter also ran out after the Belgrettes as they triggered the confusion and the people fleeing.

The two sisters and Princess Liliane rushed into a narrow alley in the gap between the buildings.

There are no street lights, and only the faint lights leaking from the buildings on both sides and the front streets illuminate the three of us painfully.

"Princess. It's a dark, dirty place, but forgive me. With this darkness, you won't be targeted by the enemy."

Says Claire as she looks carefully around her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Claire. Thanks."

Princess Liliane answers with brightness as if to dispel the darkness around her.

"Let's take this road and manage to get to the castle"

The moment Belgrette tried to take the lead and start walking, the footsteps echoed loudly with Jari......

Instantly face up, two sisters standing in position to protect the princess.

"No, it's me. Me, me."

I answer with my hands up, thinking that the drift shelter that followed the three of them sounded like some kind of scam.

"Hey, Lugo. Surprised."

Belgrette leaks a sigh of relief.

But.

"I'm sorry, can you stop there? Lord Aliumi."

Claria's cold voice echoed in a narrow alley.

"... Claire,"

"My sister seems to know 'a little' about him though. I don't know."

Now I told my sister nicely, without atrophying.

"- For example. Suppose there was an assassin who said he lost his memory, etc. and pretended that the Divine Chant" Oracle "was unusable, emitting a flame like a long spear... don't you think it's horrible?

"Ha. That's a trick."

Lifeguard answers rather with a pleasant voice.

"Claire, Lugo was in the crowd earlier."

Belgrette says in tones like fed up.

…………

Again, I had no trouble seeing Belgrette on the stage.

Stream protection, even in this situation, has brought joy in asexually.

"Claire, by the way. If Lugo was the enemy, we'd be done. Lugo, if you mean it, you pack ten miles in less than a second."

"... what?

Claria made a short loose voice.

"Such a human being, there should be..."

"Yes, I think so... I realized later that both me and Edvin had been a lot less than that."

"Yes, no... you're not wacky."

I was more right to see what was going on than to... but it wouldn't be a big difference if I tried it on the Belgrettes.

"Hmm?"

"No... the, well"

"Pfft, I'm kidding. One of these days, I'm going to be strong enough not to let it bother me.... let's not stand talkin '. I don't even know where the assassin is. Liliane, can I have Lugo with me?

"Yeah, sure. It's comforting, Lugo."

"Oh, yeah. Yes, people."

…………

It was Claria with a disgruntled look on her face, but she didn't say anything more.

The four of us are going down a dark alley.

"Uh, Leaver. Bellette, where are you? Answer me if you hear me."

When I did it, my distracted voice echoed.

When I look at the voice - about five meters up front, there's something like a ripple of water floating around.

"Oh, Detlev's voice."

Where Princess Liliane said it, she also remembered the drift protection.

Detlev, the man from Silver Legion Squad Silvalios, who brought the prize money and seemed a little unreliable.

"... Lord Detlev... what a far-fetched imitation when you don't know where your enemies are..."

Claire squeaks, holding her fingers between her eyebrows, and so on.

Yes, the seemingly fairly convenient communication god chant Oracle, but closer to radio than a cell phone. The people around you can hear everything they want. There is also a risk of interception by the enemy.

Detlev, who seemed unreliable, but maybe there's still something missing as I imagined it - and the drift protection gave me a bitter laugh.

"Leaver, it's Belgrette."

Belgrette picks up communications. Then the ripples above disappeared and reappeared in her ear.

"Ah, Leaver. It's Detlev. '

"That Mr. Detlev. Wide area communication is a bit... we don't know where the enemy is."

'Oh, well. Sorry, sorry.'

I can hear Claria smashing her tongue in the flowing ear.

Regardless of who she is, she seems tough on the man himself.

"Where are you now?

"We're going through the back road of Sixteenth Street to the castle."

'Oh, did you? I caught the crook, so you can safely return to the castle. Nice to meet you. "

"Ah, yes. Got it."

Belgrette finishes the communication and the ripples disappear.

"Oh, that guy caught the killer?

Instead of capturing the killer, he thinks he's a person who can't even stop fighting between children, but he thinks he's a drifter.

"Hehe. Was that a surprise? Even Mr. Detlev, oh, look, is he part of the Silver Legion Squad Silverios?

"I can't believe it's 'Oh, look'. Belle said something terrible, too, didn't she?

Bellette and Princess Liliane laughed at each other, hehe and I. Girls are scary.

Bergrette, Princess Liliane, Claria, lined up in order of protection, plus a few minutes of walking in the dark alley.

You're finally getting used to your eyes, and you're seeing the area - and it was the moment that drift protection thought.

A narrow alley that provides a breathless sense of compression.

Beyond that, the shadow of the stone wall, about seven meters ahead, swung upliftingly.

Stream protection stops the leg.

The Belgrettes also feel strange.

It's black.

The color of black makes me feel bad like I moved out with my self. But definitely in the shape of a person. It blocks in a narrow alley.

The flowing guard felt heterogeneous signs on his skin and instinctively understood. It's not just sloppy or anything.

- Assassin.

Claria squeals the word as she imagined it to be.

Darkness with a will. It was all over the body wearing a black monochrome outfit. Even the face leaves only the eye area covered. Its eyes were only exposed to the minimum necessary, and the darkness was such that it could not grasp the characteristics at all.

Claria, who sheltered the princess behind her back, leads forward and lines up with Belgrette. The distance between the two is - roughly seven meters.

"What was the communication of Lord Detlev earlier..."

Claire shrugged in a sigh of sigh - moments.

The assassin who kicked the earth fleshed in such a low position that he thought it was a four-legged walk. Instantly Bergrette produces a sword of water, swinging it down vertically.

The assassin crossed what looked like a dagger in both hands and took the water sword.

It's not a real dagger. Two short blades, slightly red-hot. This too - the Divine Chant "Oracle".

Belgrette kicks out sharply to the assassin who takes the blade of water and leaves it crouched in. The assassin took this lightly and took a great distance.

Says the Girl Knight, keeping an eye on the enemy without alarm.

"Lugo, take the princess and run."

"Huh?"

To a line I didn't even think about, the drifting shield made a loose voice between them.

"Sister!?

Claria, too, turns to her sister unexpectedly.

With that overly ample gap, the assassin threw a red dagger in pursuit of Claire. By the way, she hadn't noticed - it should have.

But the moment Dagger approaches Claire, suddenly a geyser-like wall of water sprays up. The dagger of flames sounded and extinguished.

Surprising signs of assassins are conveyed.

Without going through them, she asks her sister as if nothing had happened.

"Make the princess, more so this man? What do you mean, sister!

"'More so than this man'? In escorting the princess, the brave man from Dragon Doom is impeccable, isn't he?

Belgrette says without losing sight of the assassin.

Now towards her, an assassin threw a red dagger at her. The Girl Knight strikes it off lightly and continues.

"Despite Mr. Detlev's capture of the assassin, there is an enemy in front of him. What do you think this is all about?

"No way! Pretend Detlev captured the assassin... I mean, he's behind it!

Princess Liliane says with a stiff face.

"Ya, Liliane because you read too much mystery books. Whatever you ask, Mr. Detlev, I'll cry. … that is,"

"You're not alone, are you?"

Lifeguard answered.

"Mm. Mr. Detlev, is that more realistic than the mastermind theory?

"Ugh... Belle messing around"

The princess shrugs as if she were obstinate.

... But Princess Liliane is calm enough to say that there is an assassin in front of her. Perhaps that's all, I trust my sisters.

Lifeguard watches the assassin without alarm.

Ever since you threw a flaming dagger at me, there's been no sign of you doing anything to stay away.

No way, I'm not reading the air and attacking you while we're in conversation... etc.

(... no, before that... I'm curious, not there)

The shield felt uncomfortable, unspeakable to the assassin.

Something's hooking up. An assassin who has been after the princess.

That's right.

"If so. I'm coming with the princess."

So Claria ate down.

"Still, and what if I run into someone who's out of Claire's control? In that situation, you fight while protecting Liliane?

"Oh, that's..."

"That's why Lugo is the right man. If it's Lugo, even the legendary assassination group Gehenna is likely to do something about it."

Even while Liquid Protection was thinking about it, the conversation was going on. Looks like we should put it behind us.

"I don't know what it is. All you have to do is run away with the princess, huh?

"Mm, please. Liliane, too, okay?

"Yeah. Okay."

"... eh"

Claria bit her lips with regret, but said nothing more.

- For a second.

The dark alley lit up brightly.

By two flaming swords, summoned by the assassin in both his hands. Now, it's not a dagger. About a metre across the blade, there are two "lids" of red long swords.

"Oh, I see."

Lifeguard had put it to words unexpectedly.

Naturally, it's not like the assassins didn't read the air and attack us. Instead, he used this conversation to finish his chant.

"Duplicate...? It's strange. I'm also the leader of the Duplicant."

That's what I said, a girl knight who waves her left hand and shows off another water sword.

Both the duplicants move slightly…

Shortly afterwards, Belgrette signaled his rush toward the assassin,

"Princess Nanya, come here!

"Yes!

Lifeguard and Princess Liliane and I went backwards the way we came.
