I came back to the inn after the stage, and I found out about Merliah's absence.

Most of the baggage remained in the inn.

At first, I wondered if it was enough for me.

But no matter how long I waited, Melia didn't come home.

I had a bad feeling, and I grabbed it on the desk I had left in my room.

Then I opened all the cabinet drawers.

And get the luggage Merliah left behind...

One note writing that was in it.

"I'm sorry."

and only one word was written in Merriam's handwriting.

That's what I realized.

Merliah left me.

Even though I didn't move my body, I was very worn out.

I couldn't help myself on my knees and spent hours with my hips down on the bed.

The fairies rushed after me, but I don't know where to go in the first place.

When he was in Bern Delta, he escaped, nearly crushed by the guilt of sacrificing Balzac's men.

But I feel a clear will from the promises I made before the stage, from the fact that I was able to get my notes into the luggage where they wouldn't be immediately discovered, or from the fact that I was working very hard to shake us off.

How can you catch Melia leaving in that mood?

The fairies were also depressed and quiet time flowed.

"Whoa. Were you back?

Good job, it was the best play ever. "

At dawn, Blade visited the room.

Blade looked over at the room and

"What happened to your lady?

And I've been asking.

"Merliah is... not here"

I barely said so. [M]

It pains me to say that this unbelievable situation is real.

But back to back with my thoughts,

"Ha ha... right, right.

I wasn't expecting this kind of trick.

You missaw what you did with me. "

Blade said that in a self-derisive manner.

"What do you mean?

"Sooner or later, that kid was going to betray me.

That's when we met. "

That said, Blade leaves the room, but I chased him.

We caught Blade in the hallway out of the room. I ask.

"What are you betraying me for?

Blade, what do you know?

Do you even know where Merliah is?

"Close, close.

Anyway, if you're gonna look me in the face, I need you to make up Caroline. "

"I don't want to hear you talk lightly."

"... that's right"

Blade sighs.

"Farkas, one is a great troupe.

It will also make further leaps in the wake of the success of this performance.

Buck's strong, too.

So, if you can do it as an actor, it's Antai, right?

You want me to get out of here?

"Get out of here or nothing, we just got a request to send that kid to the Imperial City.

Now that you've served your purpose, you don't have to. "

Blade treats me like he's gonna let me go.

"Then I'll chase you around perfectly.

Actors are fun to run, but there's more I have to do. "

I eat down.

Of course I want to know where Meliá is, but on the one hand, can this one be broken up without any information?

"My journey is not over yet.

So hang out with me. "

Things have an end, only the number of encounters there is a goodbye.

But now shouldn't be the time.

"Cruz... you. Come on, why are you putting that much in that kid?

Besides, you don't want Attch to come after you, do you, to guess from the circumstances?

Sure, I think so, too.

Melia didn't want me to come after her, and she was working on making sure she couldn't.

Perhaps calculating the amount of time I can't get away from the theater... but still...

"If Kukuri suddenly disappeared and they were asking me not to look...

Are you listening to what people say?

Blade murdered me for a moment. [M]

An alert signal rings in my head.

But it immediately stopped and Blade's high laughter echoed down the hallway instead.

"My mouth keeps getting better!

The kind of guy who stands on the Imperial Theatre stage uses a good line!

Blade is grinning with his belly.

Kukuri, who carried his luggage there, came out of the room.

"Wow. I'll take you to that kid.

But let me use it.

Don't complain later!

That's what Blade says and heads outside the inn.

"Blade. In the meantime, I want you to share the information you have"

"I don't have time for this.

I'll explain it to you as you run toward the Imperial City. "

And now...

I was running down the street.

Kukri in front and Blade next to the left.

Our speed of cutting the wind, kicking the earth and walking is not comparable to our previous journeys.

Kukli is the slowest leg right now without Melia, but she is also the owner of extraordinary physical abilities.

The sun comes up from the direction we're headed.

I see a huge flock of buildings near the horizon.

That is the empire capital of the Ifestio Empire.

We'll probably be in that city in less than an hour.

In that city with Meliá...

"How long have you been suspicious of that kid?

Like I said, right after we met. "

When Blade said so, the fairies made a scene.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Blade Niki, he said it wasn't half!

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Right after we met, is that the Southern Pavilion in Darris?

Hand me Mr. Floussia's letter and the Magic Book Rewriter Magic Girl Lanobe, and Balzac's Osama gets bogged down. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

"Floria's letter...... was he writing something over there?

"Yes, yes.

I hear Baba took a bath with you.

That's when they saw the kid's back and they found the engraving magic embedded. "

"Engraving magic?

"The magic of concealment for spies, embedding letters and pictures in their bodies.

Especially the one embedded in the body.

Sensing is not possible first because there are no physical marks on the skin, and the magic reactions are mixed with magic in the body.

Though, that baba is out of common sense.

Moreover, sexual harassment is followed by horrible... "

Blade is staring away somewhere.

I thought Floussia wasn't the only one, but Blade seems more frightened of her than she imagined.

"Is Melia... a spy directed from the Ifestio Empire?

"Oh, eighty-nine.

There used to be a rat sniffing around Sauen with a similar M.O.

The General Alliance of Humanity (Harmonia) can hear you. "

I was reluctant to accept Blade's reasoning as it is.

"I don't think Melia had such an important mandate.

Merliah is too brittle, mentally and physically, to act as an intermediate. "

"So it's engraving magic.

The array is a euphemism. You will never see the contents without a chant, and if the person dies, the engraving itself disappears.

Probably wasn't informed of anything.

You can go back and forth between the sender and the sender on your own without ever seeing the contents, so that's a human letter.

Because I knew it, and I didn't imitate it like I asked my body. "

"So, Merliah doesn't know what she's carrying, but she comes and goes with Santa Monia and Ifestio for life just because she says it's an order?

"Don't be.

I have no idea what it's like to serve a man who only sees himself as a pawn. "

Blade told me to throw up.

I remember Meliá's words. [M]

I am familiar with children.

I want to help that person.

That's what he said about why he wanted to return to his country in Amarchia.

My guess is, I don't think that's a lie.

For example, is it that childhood taming that is giving orders to Merliah?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Homhom... me. Come on, when I was listening to that story, I was wondering if that childhood tame was a man"

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Oi! Don't be a dick about things you didn't even think you'd say!

◆ Works with

"It's Melia's childhood tame, so she's a pretty aristocratic maid or something.

We used to make flowers in the middle of a clump. "

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Masterpiece... with Meliá deficiency..."

[◆ Annie]

"I become a spy to help his dreams, knowing the existence of secret intelligence operations carried out by a secretly thought-provoking childhood elite soldier or senior nobleman...

Nah, too much of a game, huh? '

[No name even if reincarnated]

'Come on! Think about how you guys feel about Homhom!

Even though it's heartbreaking, you're too tight for a childhood rival!

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

My feelings?

I don't know, but you're welcome to take care of it.

Not just now, all the time.

"So Floria sent us to Blade to have Merliah watched?"

"Oh. I'm pretty sure you think you have a lot more classified information than you have engraving magic embedded in your body.

Worst of all, it's like inspiring a war between humans to break out. "

I doubted Blade's ears.

War between humans......

If that happens, mankind will disperse its power of war, become irresistible to the Demon King's Army and surely perish.

"Isn't that too much talk?

I don't know what kind of information that is. "

"We're only talking about possibilities.

You said that before.

He said whoever controls information will control the world.

So I did one thing to keep that kid from delivering the information he was holding.

It was planted on his back, and he set a spell on the engraving that prevented him from receiving the chant. "

A spell, I neck the unfamiliar word. [M]

Blade grinned when he saw my face like that.

"A spell is like a relative of sorcery.

In detail, there's a difference between not being as versatile as magic or needing a catalyst or recoil instead of using magic, but well, you just have to think about it to the extent of Sohen-specific magic.

It is chachi and primitive compared to the magic used in the magic kingdom of Santa Monia and in the military power of Ifestio, but it undergoes its own evolution.

To the best of their knowledge, you can't resist the curse. "

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Auxiliary Guard]

"The people who use Meliá can't see the information engraved on Meliá's body without Blade.

On the contrary, is Blade bound to be present at the place where the information is disclosed?

It's like ransomware... "

[No name even if reincarnated]

'Ah, I see.

I totally get it.

(What's ransomware?

[◆ Wild boar]

" A virus that encrypts files in a computer at will.

Encryption is a technique that prevents people from looking at the contents, but using it,

"If you want me to de-encrypt it, you pay for it."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Did Blade essentially get the contents of Merriam's engraving with one of those spells?

No...... but

"When did you plant this?

I've been watching over Merliah's back for a long time. "

Blade laughed, exhaling in my words.

"It was when you guys were indulging in our baths.

My wife instructed me to sneak it in when I massaged and scalded the kid. "

At that time.

Yes, indeed, Melia had been doing that before she took a bath.

Because of that, my bathing time and my feathers went in together.

"Merliah was... singing a song"

"Ah?

"I was drunk, I was in a good mood, and I didn't even refuse to come in...

I was laughing. I was definitely laughing.

So I'm sure I'll be followed, laughing... "

It reminds me of that night in my head.

My body was wrapped in warm, gentle feelings of hot water, and I was exchanging words with Meliá and letting my feelings go through.

At that time, I couldn't express more emotions or expressions than I do now...

I thought he was alive.

My chest hurts.

The back of my eyes gets hot.

Thoughts change shape with recollections, aspirations, expectations, anxieties, fears, and run around the circuit.

My functions, which I never knew before, are activated.

I want to ask the Creator why I have this extra feature just made for combat.

My legs are getting heavier and heavier, and regardless of my will, I start to slow down trying to stop,

"Soytz is good!!

Bang, and Blade slaps me in the back.

He pushes my back with his arm and forces me to run. [M]

"That kid was a spy full of lies, and I was accompanying you on a journey deceiving you guys.

If I confess further, the last few days I didn't see you guys face to face was also to put in a lot of exploration in the Imperial City.

What you've been looking at may have been a bunch of figs.

... but!

Blade grabbed my chest and drew them as far away as their faces could stick together.

Those eyes stare straight into mine. [M]

"The emotion you've created is definitely a real thing!

You lived right next door to the mortals!

So even I really enjoyed this trip!

I'm not lying to you!

That's what I said, Blade pushed my body away.

I'm overwhelmed and fall off my back on the ground.

A bright blue sky widened as a lie in my sight.

The ears have a slightly blowing wind sound, and the nose has the scent of dry soil through it.

Those that clearly stimulate the senses sedate my deliberate thoughts.

I was, was, and still am, alive then.

And Melia, who was next door...

My hand is put over my head to block the blue sky.

"I didn't know about that kid.

I go to that kid just to serve my purpose.

If that is dissatisfaction. You do something about it. "

Blade is reaching out and turning away.

Therefore, the complexion cannot be asked.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Until a while ago, you said" lady "about Melia, and now you're calling me" that kid "?

I miss something...... '

[No name even if reincarnated]

"I knew you were a spy from the beginning, so was it a play that you were dealing with Frank by saying something about a lady?

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

I don't think so, you guys.

I think maybe Blade's mad.

That Merliah left us in a way that betrayed us.

Blade probably doesn't pretend to be fun when it's not fun.

I don't pretend I don't hate people I don't like.

I think I liked Meliá enough to travel with her and have fun.

So I guess it's extra painful.

I grabbed Blade's hand and got up.

"Okay. Do something."

When I said that, Hung and Blade laughed with their noses.

And before long, we got to the Imperial Guard.

Blade showed us the paperwork he thought he'd faked in advance, and the gatekeeper didn't hesitate to let us through the gate.

And one of the gatekeepers who was in custody a short distance from the gate spoke (...) to Blade in so (...) - (...) e (...) n (...) words (...).

"A writer woman who was being handed over entered the Imperial City last night.

From the engraving engraved on the back of his hand and the results of the inquiry, it is confirmed that it is the Marquis de Lauringen, Almeria von Lauringen.

Currently lurking in a suburban mansion "

When told so by the gatekeeper, Blade answers with a nod.

"Thank you. So, did you get any clams on the back?"

"Yes. Shortly after the inquiry, a decree went from the Rollingens to the Calharias.

After receiving the decree, General Iscarios exits from the back door.

At the same time, we're releasing multiple orders into the capital. "

General Iscarios......

It's someone who came out of Melia's description.

Iscarios Amdo Calharias.

The most powerful warrior of our time by making him general of the Empire.

It's not a fuss about important people.

How did you get involved with Meliá like that?

No way. Really, like the fairies said, the one called childhood taming?

"And those who supposedly have been contacted by the Calharias family are beginning to assemble in a workshop with a magic research district."

"I started, does that mean we're not all set yet?

"Yes. General Iscarios, supposedly the mastermind, spent the night with Miss Almeria at her lurking spot, and has yet to come out.

If there's movement, it's supposed to be transmitted to me. "

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Together for the night... Gokuri..."

[No name even if reincarnated]

" Hey, don't.

Seriously, I'm starting to feel bad and want to lie down... '

◆ Works with

"I... still believe in Melia"

Dyson

'Well, Merliah, I knew you weren't the daughter of the Chamber of Commerce.

Besides, his name is Almeria...

Really, I've been hiding a lot. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

I certainly don't have a lot to think about, but I was more than thrilled to find out that Melia was safe in the Empire City.

There was no chance of being attacked by monsters or bandits on the road.

"Are you going to sneak into that workshop and stuff?

"If it's Lady Blade who breaks in with a security skid, there won't be any construction.

And fortunately, everyone who's gathered here is trying not to reveal themselves by hiding their faces in the hood. "

"Huhun. Do you want to deceive your enemies first from your side?

As a secret organization, it's a good idea, but on the contrary, you don't know if the contents have been changed. "

Blade smiled niggly.

And the gatekeeper man went back to the gate as if nothing had happened.

Anticipating that, I...

"What's that..."

When I heard that Blade,

"It's a friend, my friend.

I know the strategy, and I'm on my way. "

That's what I said, I walked out.

I'm sure Blade still hasn't confessed to me.

But that's not what you need to know now.

What we need to do now...

"Cruz. I know you want to catch that kid and talk to him face to face or something because it's about you, but I'm keeping that."

"What do you mean?

"The people involved are too big.

The prestigious Marquis Rollingen family to Iscarios, the empire's proud ever-winning general.

If you mishandle it, the country leans without joking "

Blade is laughing at his mouth but his eyes aren't.

"That's why you can't leave Merliah alone"

"I know that too.

More or less, what happens to the Marquis's spies... "

Blade shrugged stupidly.

Then we arrive at the magic workshop where we were told.

We were lurking our breath in the ground, knowing that people were gathering underground with magic sensing.

Then one man in a robe came into the building.

When the man opened a hidden staircase leading to the basement, I stunned the man.

Immediately, take the robe and wear it completely.

"Well, as you should.

Swim that kid with them as much as you can.

When the release of the engraving begins, I will leave and negotiate.

From there on out, it's a battle.

And then you should be careful if they try to kill that kid. "

"I know.

I won't let Merliah do any harm. "

"Well... yeah, but I wonder if you really know"

Blade scratched the back of his head with Polypoli.

With Blade with a strange face on his side, I began to descend the stairs to the basement in a magical reaction.
