I Became Peerless After I Threw My Whole Paycheck at a Real-Life Gacha

"He's an imbecile. I can't think of anything else."

In front of the Knights of the Sanctuary gathered in Bern, Switzerland, I said clear. That's because I saw how Alexander was murdered and I was convinced.

"An idiot... Alexander is not just an idiot. A magical warrior in a senior position, even though he is the closest of them all..."

Anna, the same magic warrior, said with a trembling voice.

"I know. But no ordinary person or demon can kill you."

All seven members in this place were silent. I guess losing a buddy I fought with for a long time was a shock beyond words.

Square: "Looks like a couple of other psychics have been killed. They found the body torn apart by the missing Peacock."

I've reported Elias with an uncomfortable look on his face.

"I don't know if the Genius is going around killing the Genius... for what?

"I don't know why, but if you're after a psychic, we might come after you, too. Shouldn't we at least act together from now on?

Carlo calmly answered my question. Certainly now it is more important to know how to take action than to think about why.

"Always carry your weapons, each of you! If Alexander had a sword, it wouldn't have happened like this one. And we'll share the information with Peacock and Five Articles."

"You're hanging up on the topic of the Five Articles day after day. It's from Matsuda's article."

"Well, I guess so"

Matsuda had become famous in the industry for scooping the names of Gojo early.

"A lot of people admire it, but in some cases, you're raising your voice that it's the Five Articles that are causing the world to be confused by producing a monster."

"You'd think that if you pommed out that huge carbide."

"Which one do you think Matsuda is?

"I don't know, either, to be honest. What matters is whether it's funny as a story or not. This Five Articles guy is the best story to chase."

"With that said, Gossip's weekly magazine writes," General Gojo, the Demon King's Theory "seems to be very popular."

"Whatever's funny about the world is fine."

I packed the camera that Matsuda was wearing and the IC recorder in my bag and stood up.

"Is that an interview?

"It's Gifu. Gojo has been seen entering and leaving Gifu base of the militia. I'll get a solo interview at any rate."

"Does it work that well?"

"Do it! I'll make sure to reveal the identity of General Goemon."

The day after the Knights of the Sanctuary, the murder of an alien was officially announced at the UN press centre. It was Alexander's death that shocked the media and people, but it was among them that became a problem.

Who murdered only those who were supposedly strong among the psychics? Questions focused on UN press officers.

"Do you know who did this? Is it still the crime of the psychic?"

"Currently under investigation"

Polar: "You're saying that powerful aliens all over the world are being killed one after the other, but aren't there a few people who can do that?

"We don't know anything yet, so we can't answer that."

"Some of the offenses seem to have voices that suspect that Mr. Gojo General Gate has something to do with them, what do you think?

"That's an impossible story. Mr Gojo is very cooperative with the United Nations and national governments, and we are also helping. Above all, there's no reason to do that."

The UN press officer smiled at the reporter's question.

However, this five-article culprit theory was taken up by some media in an interesting way, so it will be quiet but definitely spread.

There was a satellite phone provided by Mr. Sakagi in one of the rooms at Gifu Base. The communication method with overseas is limited because the communication has not yet returned completely as before.

"Leo, can you hear me?

'Oh, I'm fine. Sorry, let me make some time for you. "

Leo called me to say it was an urgent requirement.

'There's a press conference going on at the U.N. right now, you hear what I'm saying?

"I hear you have a press conference, but you don't know the details."

Alexander was murdered.

"Alexander!? To whom!

'I don't know yet. Witnesses say he was wearing black armor, and that's all we have, but we decided to call him "The Black Knight."

"Black Knight......"

I was shocked. It strikes me that he spoke freely during the British crusade. Should have been pretty strong............

'The psychics from all over the world are being targeted. There's also one victim from ”Peacock," and two psychics from other countries have been killed. Four. "

"Four or... What are you doing that for?

'I have no idea. In the first place, it's not strange that if you're that strong of an alien, it's grasped by the country... because I have your example. I'm guessing there's some psychic out there who hasn't figured it out yet. "

"Looking for the killer?

Vengeance: "Naturally. It's Alexander's, but it's more dangerous to the world than anything else. Catch him or I'll kill him on the spot if I can't."

That's what's on your mind. Leo's anger is transmitted.

"I'll help you, too. Let's rendezvous, where do I go?

'No, Article Five. You better not move.'

I was a little surprised by the unexpected reaction.

"Why not? Shouldn't we split up and look?"

Funny: 'You may think so, but some people say you're the one making this case. If you move to Heta and it matches the killer's behavior, you could be suspected.'

Me!? I'm a little surprised, but surely there's little when you become a psychic who can defeat Alexander......

'If you're a militia base now, you'll prove your actions. Be patient for a while.'

"... ok. There's just one thing I need you to do. All right?

"What? Say anything."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

After I hung up, I was just thinking.

"What's the Five Articles?

Carlo, who was behind me, asks.

"It's a favor from Article Five. He wants temporary protection for monastic students in France."

"You can't refuse the request of Article 5. He owes me a pile."

"Sure..."

"But this time, what kind of kid would they be after?

"Right. Hard to think about, but I hear there are a few fairly strong capable children in France. Just in case."

"Yet Five Articles is a total teacher. I can't believe he was so childish."

I laughed with Carlo, but I guess he's originally a gentle personality.

When it comes to protection, the problem is the place.

"Even if I bring you here, we're not always here. It has to be a safer place."

The two of them thought about it for a while, but I couldn't think of a very good place.

"I guess it's easy to ask British intelligence. They have a proven track record of rapidly evacuating British governments and royal human beings."

England... dragons have dropped dramatically and are calm now.

"Okay. I'll try to get in touch with you right away. Carlo goes to France with Anna and asks for the protection of the children"

Go, "Okay... I'll put it on right away"
