Hakai no Miko

Chapter 103 Murder (Medium)

"Huh? You want me to come right away?"

In response to a message from a boy named Xiao, Shahata unexpectedly uttered a mad voice.

Besides, Shahata unexpectedly shuddered her body, and Shahata was in a hurry to calm down her face, which seemed like she was about to cry. I'm not angry at him. However, people who don't know Zoan's face can't read his expression, and often get frightened just by making a little louder.

I understand that Shahata is not angry, but nevertheless the niece conveys a surprised word.

"Yes, you said you wanted me to come to the gate."

When Shahata asks who said that, she says that the surname is of the guards.

Shahata looked around the banquet hall.

Then, I can't see the same [Fang Clan] warrior who was supposed to be on guard, Aganta and his men.

Shahata leaks his tongue.

"Where is Aganta when he throws out the guards...?"

The role of the Guard is always to protect the samurai's life by being close to them. Just because something happened in the castle, it's not a good idea to get away from it.

Later, when he had squeezed it tightly, Shahata secretly strengthened her resolve and bowed her head.

"What the hell happened?" I'm under Soma-sama's protection. There's no way I can go. "

"It's a message from the Zoans from the plains." He said there was a big incident. "

And the words of the son-in-law devoured them that were not Shahatha.

A big incident on the plains?!

It is a pale horse.

With a sense of urgency, Aohora pushes Shahata away and asks her niece.

"Is something wrong again?" What happened this time?! "

Suddenly he was questioned by the king, Azure Horse, and his surname made his eyes black and white. But naturally, the maiden name is not known.

In response to Xiao Zheng's reaction, Aohora, who had decided that Tsuji (Rachi) was not obvious, returned his heel without revealing any tension, and tried to go to the castle gate by himself.

Your Majesty

Azure horses stood still in their voices.

It was Eladia who stopped the pale horse in a quiet and powerful voice that was hard to defy, though it was by no means rough.

Eladia raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a troubled face.

"Master Wang has told me strictly not to drink too much and expose my ugliness." Don't drink too much alcohol. "

That is not what it means. It's for staring at the fluttering pale horse. Also, at the same time, it was informing the surrounding people that nothing was wrong.

It is no longer a well-known fact in the court of the kingdom of El-Do. The people who were staring at what was happening to the pale horse as it clutched to their maiden name, smiled bitterly as if they were drunk again, and immediately lost interest and returned to their respective pleasures.

Eladia frowned after seeing that the interest in her surroundings had faded.

"Dear Soma, please take care of yourself."

Azure horses are stuck with words to return.

As expected, even with the pale horse nowadays, if you pretend to be in a hurry at the banquet, you can imagine how the surroundings will see it. Even though I was trying to show Erdoğan's stone-setting inside and outside by holding the usual consolation party in such a difficult time, I could not ruin it with my own actions.

However, even if you do understand that, the feeling of impatience that makes your chest feel squeezed won't go away.

I purposely nominated Shahata, who is a Zoan and always accompanies me as an escort for pale horses. Perhaps Zoan will not reveal it, or perhaps it is a great news that must be delivered directly to the pallid horses through Shahata.

In the brain of the pale horse, the figure of a person who also admits that he will fall down with blood.

"Shahata, ask me what happened. Maybe something important happened on the plains."

Shahata is reluctant to listen to the words of the pale horse.

"But I must protect you..."

"Please."

Being begged to be covered by the word of refusal, Shahatha became destitute. When Shahata looks to Eladia for help, she often thinks and then says:

"Shahata-sama, don't worry. We'll keep an eye on him so he doesn't drink too much."

Eladia summons a few more sisters and places them around a pale horse. With this, we'll have everything we need to cope with an attack, wherever and whenever it happens.

That said, however, unplanned changes in security arrangements are not inherently desirable. However, considering such issues, Eladia's painstaking judgment that it would be of no consequence to not reveal the purpose of Zoan's messenger from the plain.

And it was also something that Shahata empathized with.

"Madam Commissioner, Your Majesty, please." ― ― Soma-sama, I'll check back soon, so please wait here.

And when he had heard the word of the pale horse, saying, I beg of you, Shahatha ran to the gate.

◆◇◆◇◆

Shahata leaves the venue as a runner, and the avenger steps into the venue of the banquet in order to appear from the shadows.

King Cesar sees it and turns his eyes to Eladia.

"Foolish, beautiful lady."

King Cesar hoisted the edge of his lips with irony.

“The diversity and flexibility created by a wide variety of ethnic groups is the greatest strength of the El Door nation. However, I can't say that I can trust you, but I can't surround the child of destruction with my own gestures. Is it a sign that you want to monopolize your favorite opponent?"

King Cesar laughs with his shoes.

"But, at first glance, it looks strong, but it's synonymous with fragility, such as the stiffness of losing softness." Yes, like this glass. "

King Cesar plays the glass cup of the Dwarf with his fingers.

"Hard but brittle glass gets cracked even with a slight impact. And if there's a slight crack, a little gap, the snake will dive into it."

◆◇◆◇◆

Huh?

Shepoma, a female apprentice, looked at the avenger heading for the pale horse and strangely nodded her head.

Shepoma is Zoan's girl. Along with her brother Jeta, she was one of the few people who, because of the curiosity and vigilance that characterized her children, treated the freshly arrived pale horses that had fallen on the Serdeas continent without fear.

Her apprenticeship in the Royal Palace of Erdoğan is part of a policy of harmony among a wide variety of races.

A samurai lady around the king, Azure Horse, could be taken by the elves alone as a certain race. In order to ensure fairness, Zoan was selected as a candidate for the ranks of Zoan in consideration of her interactions with Azure Horses at a young age when she sought female officers from each race.

Nevertheless, the majority of the visitors to the Azure Horse are human. There are many problems with Zoan serving customers who don't understand human expressions and vice versa.

So, until now, I was in the middle of learning courtesy as a female officer with a king to take care of the pale horse.

However, due to recent circumstances, it was interrupted, and today it was arranged in the back to carry the food of the banquet.

Shepoma felt her memory tingling with the avenger she could see in the distance.

Who was that guy...?

I feel like I've seen it somewhere. That was a long time ago. It seems like I met you when I was younger.

What's the matter, Shepoma?

You can't skip it.

"Yes, yes!"

Yes, she called out to Shepoma, who was digging back into her memories, three Elf girls - Ilza, Nina, and Paula's three daughters.

All of them look like young girls. But his age was an old man that reached old age in Zoan. In addition, because of the young appearance, the apprentice's lettering has not been taken out on his head, but he also has a long experience as a female officer. Especially when it comes to cleaning the toilets, they are seniors who are skilled.

If you don't deliver the food quickly, Eradia-san will be angry with you.

In response to Ilza's words, Shepoma reversed her head in fear.

She, Zoan, doesn't really understand Eladia, the Elf's expression. But I don't think I'm angry, at least not because I don't make rough tones or do rough tricks.

But I'm scared for a reason.

Don't go against this. Don't make this angry.

That's how animal instincts, not reason, warn us.

"Let's get back to the kitchen and bring the next dish."

To Ilza, Shepoma was groaning.

Nina let out a voice of frustration as she ran down the aisle.

"Damn it! Even though we're hungry, just carrying such delicious food is torture!"

And Paula, too.

What kind of torture!

Behind such a noisy three daughters, Shepoma followed with a footsteps.

◆◇◆◇◆

Stepping into the venue, the avenger slipped through the crowds laughing at their liquor and food, and headed straight for the pale horse.

Along the way, the Avenger frowns as he tries to pass by the Elf's lady who laughs with his guests.

Until then, the elf lady, who was smiling and laughing, threw a sharp gaze at her for a moment.

“Never mind, just keep going straight.”

The word that came to the mind of the Avenger at that time was that of the greatest human man among his allies. The human man put together his fingers, which were dyed in various colors, and told me something pleasantly.

"When I observe the banquet that has been held so far, it is said that the elf ladies are always moving around the son of destruction while serving customers. Therefore, to enter the banquet hall and reach him, at least a few times you have to go near the elf officers. And they are observing and watching to see if any of the people nearby are acting strangely or suspiciously. No, no, that's an amazing collaboration. Or should we celebrate the leadership of the Lady Commissioner?"

Then the man answered with mockery the avenger's question as to whether he could avoid them.

"Once the Elves know that they are the guardians of the Son of Destruction, the darker ones behind them will try to avoid it." Like you are now.

However, this arrangement is also a trap to expose them. If you make such suspicious moves, it's like yelling at your own existence. "

When the Avenger asks what to do, the man returns the words he said earlier.

I don't care anymore. There is no more to lose.

The Avenger, who had just opened up, stepped forward with his chest open.

The Elf lady stopped laughing and turned to the Avenger, who was approaching.

And for a moment, I turned my eyes to the avenger's chest.

"-Mr."

From the mouth of the Elf's lady came the name of a Guardman that the Avenger had just placed in his hand.

“Thank you for your service.”

The Elf officer bowed, clearing the way for the Avenger.
