"Me... what are you going to do with us?

"First, let me show you who I am. Nevertheless, I know it's not normal enough to take on such an assassination, and the reason why we're targeting Sierra and Rick is limited, except to blackmail us."

To put it further, this is the Parent.

It is not easy for an assassin to enter the city. But with the Lord's help, the story will be different.

"Shall I ask you to wash up and talk?"

"I'm sorry, but I still have my pride as an assassin. I can't pretend to be talking about my client."

I abandoned my client for apologizing, but I don't think I'm going to tell you about him.

"Then stick it out in public and tell me what happened."

"... I'm not going to tell you anything."

"That's it, then. Until we figure out 'The Assassin Lost to a Seven-Year-Old Girl'."

……

That is the most embarrassing fact for an assassin.

Not only did the assassination fail, but the target was an innocent young child who was defeated.

"I'll let you choose. Are you going to make Sierra and Rick the last targets, or are you going to make another one the last?"

A square in the middle of the city.

There is a platform higher than a person's head, and many people are told by speaking from the top of the platform during events and emergencies.

But for reasons I've never seen before, I've been in the spotlight.

Four men bound by chains were placed on the table.

"Hey, that's..."

"Looks like a sinner."

Two men who happened to visit the square were talking as they watched the assassin in captivity.

What sins did they commit? I don't know who just visited the square, but I will know by looking at the letters written on the sign placed on the table.

"Looks like you shot a kid."

"Besides, you're targeting Isla's kid."

"Eh, is he coming home?

Isla's name was famous in Parents and was quickly known.

And it also wrote why the children were targeted.

"You hate the guy who did this 15 years ago... and you hate him the other way around."

That's right. You may be familiar, but considering your age, you've never even met her. "

For middle-aged men, the biggest incident in their lives.

I don't usually remember it anymore, but I remember it for a long time after I heard rumors of running around the city.

"The magic sword, when it came out...?

"You idiot! It happened before."

The young man couldn't remember what Max said.

I am more impressed by the cases that I was able to get involved with.

……………

Many people consider Sierra the victim of the attack.

Some of them had dark feelings.

"One... two... three, four... there they are."

Standing next to the platform overlooks the square.

When I saw the assassin, I remembered the face of a man with dark feelings.

"Hey, what are you doing!?

The square is in the center of the city.

If there is a disturbance in a very prominent place, it will reach the lord's ears. However, it was not Count Parent, the lord, who visited first, but Garsh, the deputy, who visited with the butler.

"Hey, my son and daughter were attacked, so I was exposed."

Call the Knights if you catch him.

"Don't you recognize these guys?

"What are you saying....."

I'm sure they only heard about the commotion in the square and the assassin I caught.

The detainees' faces looked familiar and I saw them twice.

"--I understand the situation. Did you catch him?

"Yes, that's right."

That's the deal with the assassins.

You can get your wounded body back, so that life can be saved, provided you speak up in public about who you are and what you have done.

Sierra has gone too far this time. It's obviously causing fatal wounds, so even if you stab a thorn after that, Sierra's attack is definitely fatal. Don't be merciful to your enemies because you're in a position to be targeted because of your parents. But I'm not old enough to go through murder now.

So I erased all the facts about Sierra's involvement.

There were many people who witnessed Sierra and Rick being attacked because they were attacking on the street. However, it was too instantaneous an event to be intercepted by the common sense that children could not use enough magic to evacuate the raid.

There was a time when I couldn't see myself, but because no one had seen me jump out of the building, I think I went somewhere and came back soon.

"I knew that Isla's children were being targeted, rather than my..., so I thought I was sorry for the children, but I got caught up with them."

We caught him where the raid actually took place.

... that's what I'm going to do.

"Tell me who hired you."

"Ah, ahh... we're a freelance assassination organization, and we got a request from Mikhail, the butler there."

"... no, what!?

Garsh hurried towards Mihai.

It is obvious that they are a secret unit of their own house. Still, I saw my face with a slight smile, and I knew the situation in a flash.

Cover Mihai with all sins.

In fact, it was Mikhail who moved the troops on his own, so Garsh was just like the victim. In this way, you can avoid blaming yourself by confessing your guilt in front of the crowd.

Lend it.

The action taken to protect the Palent House was quick.

"That's...."

No way, Mikhail was in a hurry when he didn't really think this was going to happen.

After all, the initial operational purpose was to assassinate the surrounding aristocrats when they had trouble. There is no way that even a child can get rid of it.

I really thought so.

"What does it mean to interrupt someone you've asked for?

"We didn't have that intention in our house."

So this is the butler's runaway?

"... yeah, that's right."

As for Garsh, that's all I have to say.

"Get him."

Nevertheless, it is strictly forbidden to move troops on your own.

I could give orders because I was a butler, but if the Lord knew, they would catch me.

"Why did you do this?"

He listened to the noise and asked looking down at Mihai, who had been held down by the knights gathered together.

"... fifteen years have passed since then. The killer was dead at that time. When the Magic Sword was targeted and attacked, I had no choice but to run away to protect my daughter who was left behind with the Magic Sword... so I can't forget the hatred I lost my son to that extent."

Mihai's son was a knight.

At that time, many soldiers and knights ran off to kill Max.

Even knights can't reach. I don't know what would have happened if Isla hadn't been slashed at the end.

"If you say you can't avenge yourself, it's until your daughter tastes the same pain as me."

In other words, it grieves Isla as much as it grieves her loss of a child.
