While drinking Celia's brewed tea, Elsa told me as many old stories as she could remember, and it took about 40 minutes.

Celia's words that it was impossible for her father to kill people also seemed to have been accepted by the half-hearted.

He promised to help us find the real killer in the future.

"Oh, are you leaving already? That's why I thought we'd have dinner."

"No, we have a curfew. If you stay too long, you won't be able to go home. Even with Kyle--"

It happened suddenly when Elsa turned down her proposal and took a seat.

Huh

It was Risha who reacted first.

It must have been a habit when I worked at the casino. Reaching under the skirt clouds his expression when he realizes there is no dagger there.

Yes, I had to take it off after I went to school.

I thought there was nothing I had to use, and above all, ordinary girls don't carry such things.

The next thing I noticed was me.

In a large city and a relatively safe neighborhood, I realize that something happened when I saw Risha trying to pull out a dagger or something in a private house.

The direction-- the kitchen side?

"Elsa, do you have a choice in the kitchen?

"Eh, yeah. Yes, but....."

"Then that's it. Risha, Tactical Book page 210, line 7 - it's a slow fight. Can we go?"

"Eh!? I haven't even read that yet!

Risha laughed in a hurry.

Though I have been blessed with the opportunity to come to this world and make use of the newly acquired knowledge, do you have time to give instructions one by one?

"Then just watch my movements. [M] Elsa's top priority is to protect her. It's not me, okay?

Okay, I got it.

It's not like we're having a conversation behind our backs.

I would have told them that we were aware of it.

Someone who was targeting us stopped silencing his footsteps and counted the timing of his jump across the wall.

Based on the weight of the sound, he weighs about 80 kilometers, and probably men, shoes are slip-resistant, and have some training in how to move his weight.

Certainly, this is not even comparable to a nasty student.

I found out why Risha tried to pull out her dagger without hesitation.

"Elsa, I'm sorry, I'm a little flashy!

Pull down the wooden table for a simple barricade toward the kitchen.

You must have figured it out, Risha threw the chair to match.

"Wasn't it necessary for Celia to..."

Celia had already taken Elsa to the front door.

If there is a concern, it is the number of opponents.

I don't know about that, but if the front door had been restrained, it would have gone out.

But we can't ignore the enemy in front of us. Now all I have to do is trust Celia.

Whether you run or fight, it's too risky for Risha to fight someone she's on guard against in this lockdown.

"Throw me a chair when I see you! Then go straight to the front door!

Yes!

Without the strength to be thrown, I put a chair in front of the hallway door leading to the front door.

Of course, leave enough room for Risha to get through.

Keep rushing to the front door.

The door is open and Celia and Elsa are no longer visible. I wonder what's going on.

"Rosie, I'm coming!

Lisha rushes through the back room whilst her silver hair flashes.

I heard a chair pulling down behind me.

"Close the door! Hold it down with something!

Shut the door as you scream, and instead of holding it down, just open your ear.

"Logi..."

Put your fingers up on your lips.

Tell them to wait a little further away with their hand signs.

Delayed combat, barricaded tables and chairs, and this door closed from the outside.

If you give him such a hint, he must be mistaken.

The instantaneous figure is about 175 cm tall and about 6 steps to the door considering the stride width when running.

This is only a reference value, but most importantly, the sound and timing of the step - three, two, one, now!

Hmm...

I grabbed the knob and opened the door with a breath.

The man who jumped out of the house staggered as if he had a shoulder cross, and was in a great loss of balance.

I assumed it was being consolidated by something, and I guess it struck me with a lot of momentum.

Yes, anyone in this state is an amateur. It doesn't matter how much training you have.

"Risha, secure!

Needless to say, Lisha, who was still moving forward, decided on a beautiful shoulder and twisted her arm on the back side.

All right, this is it.

Nevertheless, Risha has no choice but to follow this man.

What happened to Celia?

"Celia!

As she jumped out to the road calling out her name, Celia, who had a baton magic tool, was about to resolve her position.

There was a man beside him, cramping around the ground. You must have been hit by a violent electric shock.

Elsa behind Celia - apparently safe.

"Don't worry, she's not hurt."

"I see. I'm a little surprised you had the ability to fight."

When she shrugged her shoulders with a bitter smile, Celia snorted in her face.

"I've read all the magic fights, self-defenses, tactics books."

I see, well.

So let's deal with the battle as soon as we can. Self-defense is a baton-shaped magic tool.

"Still, it's not something you can be aggressive about. You could have been seriously injured."

"She's an important witness, and I have a duty to stand up for her, but to protect her."

Celia puts away her magic equipment while saying such a thing.

I'm worried about you, too, but I didn't say the word.

"... okay, okay. Just don't overdo it from now on."

"I'd like to agree, but I can't even say that."

Huh?

Celia looked straight at me as she reached.

Red eyes like blood shine brightly under the sunset.

"Maybe I was afraid to find out the truth somewhere in my heart. I thought maybe he was really my dad."

"Of course I had that idea. Of course, until today."

"Thanks to you. Thanks to you, I took a step forward. So..."

Celia looks down at the man on the ground.

More like a detective trying to extract information from a suspect in front of him than hate.

That's why I want to know the truth, even if I can't.

Seeing me again, Celia smiled calmly.
