Leanne, one of the workers' guild's constituents, was murdered by someone inside headquarters.
Such a great deal of news quickly spread throughout the Mons neighbourhood and became a fuss.
"You're no longer popular, it was busy until just now"
Ellea on his back said as he looked around.
Not so much. Taverna's death is also told, and in a situation where you don't know when you're going to be killed, it's about us walking around carelessly.
I'm not walking away for nothing.
Because I needed to pick up a rabbi who stormed into a floating and adorable store.
I had to go into the store and ask, "Didn't any man come looking excited about the 19-year-old?" but finding it lighter than I thought avoided the worst in itself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, did you come to pick me up?
Join Rabbi safely where he says as soon as you go left at the corner there is a pleasure zone.
Compared to before we broke up, we obviously have a good complexion and a bright expression, it looks like we've done what we do.
"I'm glad you're safe."
I saw that hallucination, so maybe he sacrificed it too... I can't believe it, but it seemed like he was worried.
"Safe, is something wrong?
"Rabbi's a swallower. Talk about a dead, invisible killer roaming around town."
"Oh...... that's why the store closed early"
I see, so they kicked me out of the store, so I could rendezvous so early?
Mr. Taverna was killed, too.
"Huh? So what happens to going to the Empire!?
"Including that, we have to make plans for the future, so we'll go back to the inn and discuss it"
Honestly, I don't care about Taverna's death per se.
I'm not a particularly thoughtful opponent.
The problem is that the guide to the Empire is gone.
When you cross the border on your own, you need to jerk off the attacks of the Royal Army, the Imperial Army, and both.
Even if we get into the empire physically, I don't know if we can live without any back shield.
Although I don't think we'll have a good idea where we discussed it - we went back to the inn, where we first joined up with Rabbi.
◇ ◇ ◇
The Inn is close enough to be seen from a place just outside the Workers Guild headquarters.
Fordkin raised this place for me so that I could respond immediately in an emergency.
"If Mr. Taverna is dead, you don't have to fight for this town anymore, do you?
Said Lily, who embraced Ellea like a cuddle.
"It was a consideration to be guided by the Empire."
"Right. Maybe we should think of another way to get out of this town and into the Empire."
"That's right..."
I clouded my reply. [M]
I don't think it's convenient to find another guide, and...
"Misaki has a face that Mr. Soleil cares about."
Lily nodded yeah too.
Needless to say, it seems like a prospect to both of us.
"I wonder if we should abandon it as something that seeks the same vengeance"
"I don't disagree. Because that's how I was saved because Misaki was interested."
"If Cape wants to do the same, I'll obey. But if there's a killer out there, it's not vengeance anymore."
Lily's opinion is good too.
If it was Anima who really killed Taverna and Lene, it would mean Anima use with fairly strong skills.
Earlier, when I entered Leanne's room, I had activated a despicable overlooker (Lifetocher), but I could not detect anything other than visible.
But I don't think that hallucination, which should also be called a sign of death, is just my fault.
"... maybe I'm looking at a killer."
"Oh, maybe with detection skills?
"No, I wasn't even caught up in my detection skills. But I can see hallucinations all the time, the people in town, the hallucinations that tear us apart in two."
"But... hallucinations, what is it?
"I had seen Taverna and Lene before they died, that is, before I knew the killer's M.O. It's just a hallucination. I feel like I'm being too specific to handle it."
"I was feeling something like an invisible sign," you say.
"I mean, killers are really invisible? Besides, the only sign I can feel is the Cape, and how am I supposed to catch him like that?
"If you only see hallucinations when a killer is near someone, why don't you line up a lot of humans"
Dimensions say the killer is near hallucinating.
... I wonder how many casualties there will be in that way.
Besides, the look on Ellea's face talking about it seems somewhat fun.
I wanted to hug him fiercely, but I managed to put up with him.
"If the workers guild people will convince you with that, that's fine. Well, I feel like I'm just hallucinating at the moment, so I think it's too early to put this to work. But I just want to report that I can feel it for once."
The problem is not just hallucinations.
The voice I heard when I left the room: 'Brother, that's funny'.
Assuming you look at Mr. Fordkin and say it, you should choose the word uncle rather than your brother, and if you looked at me and said it, why was it "brother”?
The mystery only deepens.
"Does that mean we need another way to find the killer - Hmm... by the way, Rabbi"
"Heh? Yes, what's up?
"I'm confused from earlier, is something wrong?
If you ask me, I haven't spoken once since I came back to the inn, and my face is red.
It's oddly floating just because I'm remembering what happened at the store... and this is no way.
"You remembered a pretty shop or something?
"No, never that!
"Suspicious. Maybe it's not what I say younger, but I think you should pick the right person to fall in love with, okay?
"No, you know, Mr. Salta is a really good guy!
"... Who is Mr. Salta?
"Ugh..."
A man digging a grave from himself, Rabbi.
Mr. Salta, hey.
Apparently, I've been having such good feelings at the store, but I agree with Lily.
"Honey, don't get caught up in the trap."
"Oh, it's not like that! In general, there's nothing to lose where I got caught!
Wouldn't it be vain to say it yourself?
In the end, Rabbi's mood never returned by the end of the day's discussion.
This desperation, I guess that Sarta fell in love with a woman.
I hope it won't be a hassle.
◇ ◇ ◇
At the end of the discussion in the room, I went outside the inn to get some air.
Then I just saw Soleil coming out of the headquarters of the Workers Guild.
"Oh, Misaki."
He smiled and approached me, but his expression had no power whatsoever.
I'm not familiar with a woman named Leanne who died at HQ, but she was supposed to be a colleague to Soleil, so I can't help it either.
"What's going on at this hour?
"To get some air outside. And Soleil?"
"I'm with you. It's an odd thing."
As she sat down on the bench, which was under a nearby street light, she tapped the free space next to her with a pepper.
Sit down, I guess you're saying.
"I'm sorry, I just got caught up in something I don't know."
As soon as I sat down, Soleil apologized to me.
Thoreille said it wasn't bad, maybe her guilt won't go away.
"Who are you really, killing Mr. Taverna and Leanne?"
"I think it was the Anima."
"I agree. However, no matter how much anima you say you use, it's not decent to turn a human body into two in life."
Even enhanced physical abilities are not powerful enough to rip human bodies apart with bare hands.
I'm pretty sure the killer is using some kind of murder weapon.
Besides, the scar on the body - it was shaped like it was pierced with something from a low position behind it.
I mean, he's not very tall.
"Oh, I thought I could put Kelli on with the merchant guild guys because of that"
"Did they kill my parents?
"... Yeah, my parents negotiated with the Merchant Guild many times to improve the status of workers. I guess that got in the way for them."
That's where you were killing the guy you were negotiating with, I think it's rather counterproductive.
As paralyzing as the feeling around it is, did the Merchant Alliance look down on the workers?
"I respected my parents from the bottom of my heart. The future is definitely going to be a fine person like these people who can fight for others. That's always been my dream."
Soleil gives thought to the past.
He must have been a fine parent indeed.
But good memories are something that gets overbeautified over time.
From the look on Soleil's face today, it seemed that the emotions she directed at her dead parents were degenerating into worshiped objects rather than just visions.
"That's why I can never forgive you. My future was closed when my parents were murdered, and what I was aiming for was lost. I'm already done. So I will kill, I will kill without thinking later, I will kill them all, I will kill no one left, I will never forgive you. They're the only ones -"
That's why the hatred for the merchant guild that killed those parents also grows stronger than necessary.
Surely anyone would be angry if they killed their parents, everyone would hate them.
But Soleil is totally possessed by it.
If I lost my vengeance, there would be nothing else left.
"... Oh, I'm sorry. You always forget me when it comes to this topic. Pull, if you ask me like this."
"Fine, because I know exactly how you feel. It's like I'm traveling for revenge, too."
"And Misaki?
"Yeah, it's really hard to get someone important killed, isn't it? Sometimes my heart is torn, broken, and my shape changes."
The look on Soleil's face brightens to my words.
I met someone who would empathize with me for the first time, like I said.
"Right, I knew you would!? I don't care about my life anymore when my heart changes like someone else, if only I could get revenge, that's what I'm going to do. Ha, I wasn't the only one!
I've been convinced on my own, but I'm a little different.
There's lilies, there's Ellea.
That's not the end of taking revenge.
Life goes on and on forever, and having abandoned the weight of hatred, I am a lighter body, and I must be happy to reclaim the misfortune of my previous minutes.
I'm prepared to risk my life for revenge, but I didn't mean to give up the future.
But hit the gavel, and I'll talk to you.
Because I didn't want to disturb the field air by denying it weirdly.
Even then, Soleil continued to rap about his own revenge.
In a feverish tone,
"My dad was amazing, no matter how bad the other guy was, he had a magical mouth that just screwed him over in conversation!
How wonderful my parents are,
"I'm not the only one with the misfortune that my mom and dad were born of dying. It's unfortunate for the world! If I lived, I could have accomplished something bigger, the world could have changed, not just the town. The merchant guild that killed it needs a heavenly punishment. You have to die, you have to die, you have to die, you have to die, that's what's right, that's why the status quo is wrong! You know what I mean? You know what I mean, if you're a Misaki!?
That's why merchant guilds are the ones that should die.
As I spit out darker darkness than I can imagine from my usual bright girlfriend.
I kept taking her darkness with a smile and a gavel.
Different shapes, but as the same avengers, I could understand.
◇ ◇ ◇
The next morning, when I left the inn and headed to HQ, Fordkin and Laksa greeted us with a similar face as they had yesterday.
Also, they found a mutilated body.
Three of those, too.
One says it was about two days after his death.
The other two were dead and palpable, still fresh enough to drip blood.
All the victims are miners.
The place fell apart, as if I could kill anywhere I wanted.
1 person on Day 1.
Two on the second day.
In the morning of the third day, two already.
Obviously, the murder rate is going to pace up.
Though Soleil invited me to patrol the Mons neighbourhood that day, the sun goes down without even finding a clue to the killer.
In the end, four people died that day.
That is, twice what it was yesterday.
There was no certainty, but everyone has noticed.
Tomorrow's death toll is eight.
That next day is 16, that next day is 32, next, next, and even next.
The dead will multiply by the day, and - until all the lives present in the town are interrupted - the killing will continue.
It's an annoying story.
I would have killed someone who didn't know how to do that. [M]
Oh, what a waste.
"When will your brother touch me?
It was in my ear sleeping in bed, and I felt like someone was squeaking like that.
