Hakai no Miko

Chapter 102 Murder (Previous)

"It's small, it's dusty, and it's irresistible."

Dragging his body out of the narrow hole in the wall, the avenger whispered a great deal of folly as he slapped his body with his left hand.

"There was often a loophole like this." What the hell is this loophole? How did you know? "

A junior officer closes the entrance to the loophole, clears the surrounding dust and erases the traces of the loophole.

“It's an honor. It's a secret loophole in the Holmean family that can only be passed on to the first prince of the Holmean nation. Our compatriots heard it directly from the prince."

The junior officer stood up after the trail was wiped out.

"Don't slap me, just follow me in silence"

After thinly opening the door of the room and checking that there was no one in the passage, the junior officer quickly left the room.

The avenger chased after him in a panic, saying it would be tough to be left behind.

As I followed the junior officer along the aisle without any confusion, I heard a loud noise, and I noticed that he was coming to the vicinity of the banquet hall.

"You wait here." I'll get the guy right away. "

The junior officer keeps the Avenger in one of the rest rooms secured near the venue. Then he set foot in the banquet hall by himself.

◆◇◆◇◆

"What, what...?"

The Guard man doubted his ears at the junior officer's words.

I am now in the process of guarding the venue of the regularly held memorial service. This consolation party is said to be rude, and it is the only place where you are allowed to get up close and personal with a king who is never even allowed to approach you.

It is a great opportunity for a man to draw near to the king, even a man with a bad idea at the same time.

For this reason, it was a place of tension for the Guards, who defended the king.

Not to mention recent disturbing incidents. I have just been told to strike security with more sense of crisis and tension than ever before.

What brought me here was a call from a friend in my hometown, the Avenger, who came to visit me.

"I've come to ask you to handle it as you promised." Now I'm stuck in this nearby room. "

In response to the junior officer's words, the Guardsman was impatient.

I made a promise to your Majesty that I would get rid of him. But that's a promise. And he said not that he had set the time and the day, but that he had only seen the plane.

I didn't think it could be pushed from the other side.

This has gone badly.

That's what the men in the Guard thought.

Although it is a sake banquet in the domestic part of El Door, it is hosted by the king, Azure Horse. It would be a big deal if they thought that they were just some kind of guardsman who brought friends inside on their own. It was better to reprimand them. Maybe a pay cut, maybe a demotion, maybe even a dismissal from the Guard.

Especially when I think of the lady chief of the elf who was in charge of the internal affairs of the Royal Palace, which was tingling recently, the Guard man shook his body slightly.

For a moment, the idea came to my mind that I should report honestly to Shahata, the commander of the Guard.

But I'm talking about a serious Shahata. I don't think they would handle it secretly in consideration of our position. It will probably be important for many people to know.

Besides, bad thoughts come to the mind of a shaking Guard man.

Wouldn't it be better to secretly push yourself back rather than let that happen? The problem is that the idiot who believed in his word came only to this thickly. It would be no exaggeration to make such a noise. That's right. That's good.

The Guardman who succumbed to his temptation tells his men to step out of his seat in a hurry for a while. Then I headed to the room where the lady taught me to avoid people.

When I entered the room, the Guard man was annoyed by the avenger who greeted me cheerfully with his left hand raised lightly, without thinking about our trouble.

"Hey! I don't want you to come all of a sudden!" Think about where I stand! First of all, how did you get in here?! "

This is the royal palace. To get here, we have to go through the gates and doors where the guards are.

"If I gave you your name, you would have made it through."

In the words of the avenger, the Guard man puts his disfigurement on the shelf and says, “What are the guards doing!" I said in my heart with great evil.

The Female Commissioner and Shahata had just issued a circular stating that vigilance should be strictly enforced and that suspicious persons should never be allowed into the Royal Castle. Just because you have given your name, it is impossible to let someone pass who has not yet officially served the kingdom of El Door.

"Anyway, I'll leave today like this - no." When you leave the castle, you don't want the guards to see you make a scene. For now, stay here until the feast is over. After the feast, you'll leave the castle with me. Please take another opportunity to deal with His Majesty. "

The avenger smiled and agreed as the Guard man lowered his head to ask for it.

The Guardsman, who hadn't expected to be accepted so lightly, slapped out. But now I have to get back to the venue sooner than I care about that.

"I'm begging you! I have to go back soon." I'll ask someone to carry the booze and food for you, so please be quiet here! ”

As soon as the Guardsman turned his back, the smile that was clinging to the Avenger's face peeled off.

"Lie to me. You've always said that you're doing well, but you've only spoken to me."

As a result, a string of beast hair that was hidden in his left hand was hoisted around the man's neck of the Guard. Then, I put the body of the Guard Man on my back in accordance with the procedure of carrying the luggage while twisting the wheel.

"Naah!!"

Suddenly, he was strangled with a string, and the Guardian man floating his body in the air screamed bitterly and fought desperately.

The Avenger had only his left hand holding the rope. But the rope that weighed itself doesn't even have a gap to put its fingertips into the throat of a Guard man. I tried desperately to move my body and escape, but when my legs were floating in the air, I couldn't even step on them. The Avenger skillfully balanced them, so I couldn't break my posture.

It was a Guard man who was waving his legs in the air and rampaging, but his legs were stretched to his fingertips. It was only for a little while. Her stiff legs let go of her strength and drooped down.

"Well done. That's enough."

The avenger finally lowered his body to the ground as a junior officer came into the room.

In front of an avenger desperately trying to hold down a heart beating violently at the agitation of a familiar hand, the junior officer took out a knife and pushed it against the chest of a Guardian man to securely stab him. Then I ripped off the badge on the chest of the Guard man and threw it to the Avenger.

"Put it on your chest."

While the junior officer was hiding his body in the shadows, the Avenger wore the Guardian's badge on his chest with his trembling fingertips.

The junior officer, who returned to the banquet with the avenger with the badge, quickly looks over the venue and tells the avenger.

"The near-wall guards drive me far away. After that, you do it."

The avenger is impatient with the word of the junior female officer.

"What should I do with the one near the prey?" He knows my face, too. "

The junior officer tongues small.

"Don't just rely on me. The elves are telling us not to enter the banquet hall without warning. Even though I'm at the edge of the venue, I'm risking my life by just stepping foot twice.”

Thereupon, the female officer showed the boys with small maiden names and the girls of female apprentices carrying the food together at the banquet hall with their gaze.

"Use them to get rid of the obstructionists." You know how to do it. "

"Oh, oh. Okay."

The avenger nodded in awe.

After seeing it, the junior officer went to the guards guard with a strange look on his face and told them to leave the venue with the name of the guardsman who had just killed.

The Near Guards look confused as to whether it is okay to leave their positions at will while guarding the venue. However, the guards, who were absolutely obedient to the orders of their superiors in the education of the military school, were forced to obey the orders of lies without knowing them.

The avenger sees the junior officer take the guards out of the venue, just finishing the food and calling out to the boy with a small surname who came out of the venue.

"Hey, you. Can I talk to you for a second?"

The boy looks surprised, but he soon finds a shining badge on the avenger's chest and smiles.

What is it, Kingsguard?

The Avenger reminds him to bite each word as he remembers what he was taught.

"There's a Zoanic messenger at the gate, calling for Lord Shahata." I have to go soon, so I'm sorry, but could you tell Lord Shahata about it? Looks like there's been a big incident on the plains. I want you to hurry up to Lord Shahata. That's what I'm telling you. "

Shahata-sama...?

The Avenger adds a word when he notices a bewildering sound in his voice.

"This is Zoan carrying a bow near His Majesty Soma." Do you understand? "

The color of understanding came to the boy's face. It is difficult for humans with very different facial shapes to identify the Zoanese individual by his face. But Zoan, who was carrying the bow, was the only one.

The boy said, "I'll tell you," and returned to the venue with a cheerful voice.

The avenger who saw it, pretended to leave the scene and then hid in the shadows nearby.
