Under the blue sky, a flash exploded in the center of the square.

A clock tower quite far from the square...... on its top floor, a man with a magic fixture for thin long-range injections had a grin on his mouth.

"... Yay..."

He was asked to "attack" the Second Princess of the Kingdom of Symphonia, or the role of a brave man… Yes, it was an attack, not a murder.

From his client's point of view, even if he doesn't die, he can achieve his goal of cutting the authority of the Sinfonia royal family and taking advantage of himself.

The three kingdoms of the world are supposed to take turns summoning the brave at the Festival of the Brave, and the Summoning Nation will also provide escorts during the pilgrimage, accompanied by those of high rank who will be in charge of the royal family… If, during the pilgrimage, the brave role or those responsible for accompanying them are injured, it would be too great a disillusionment for the Summoning Nation, leading to mistrust in the royal family.

That is why the royal family also had escorts for the role of brave man with a selection of elites, and the role of brave man in the fact past did not cause any major injuries, and he had successfully completed his pilgrimage.

It is either good to get injured, be it the second princess, who is in charge of the escort, or the hero, who is the star of the festival...... no matter which one of them is injured, trust in the Sinfonia royal family breaks down and his employer can suck sweet juice.

I've been staying in this city for two months to do some digging. We have assumed every situation and are ready to snipe.

Even after the brave man visited the city, he did not act immediately and waited for an opportunity… he kept waiting for the time when his escort was no longer present on the shooting line.

I thought maybe the opportunity would not come and the mission would fail... but luckily for the man, to meet an acquaintance in the role of brave man, the two showed up in the square... with the acquaintance visiting, the escorts showed only a few gaps to get the person through.

The best timing I ever wanted, a magic bullet that did slip through the guards' vigilance... it was no exaggeration to say that various miracles overlapped, and maybe the man was lucky... so he made the 'most unnecessary mistake'.

Yes, he shouldn't have shot at this time today... he should have looked into the visiting acquaintance as well as the role of princess and brave.

If you looked it up, you would have noticed, the acquaintance... that an attack involving a fast man is an act equivalent to 'suicide'...

The smoke that was wrapping the square clears up at the end of the man's gaze who peered into the telescope to see what he had achieved.

"... so... ah... so..."

What emerged from it was the figure of a second princess, a brave man, not even one of the dust and dust, wearing a black robe with chains... an incarnation of despair for a man.

"... No way... Shh, Fantasy..."

"I'll explain one thing..."

"Huh!? Oh, ahhh..."

The figure of the Phantom King disappeared from his sight sooner than he muttered, and shortly afterwards a tall voice was heard from beside him.

"I don't care if the princess of the kingdom of Symphonia dies, but the role of brave man dies..."

"... ahhh..."

He sounded a high voice, and the Phantom King, Noface, was there.

Next to him, who was riding himself out the window of the clock tower... while standing perpendicular to the wall of the clock tower, saying it had nothing to do with gravity or anything...

"But if those two get hurt... Mr. Kite will be sad. It would hurt... I mean, this is what this is all about, right? You just tried to break the heart of a fast man in front of me... is that right?

That was so cold, it was as intimidating as the illusion that he had his neck chopped off just for killing.

Running will not come true, I am a sinner awaiting execution, and already the right to life and death is out of my hands... the man understood in an instant.

"... it's just, well, my lord is so sweet... I'm sure if I kill you, it will make you feel responsible for it... so I won't kill you"

"... Huh?

"Let me give you two choices"

"... choice... limbs?

Am I no longer only feeling fear in my heart, the man just parrots back and hears the words of No Face, his face is pale... he was feeling so scared that he couldn't even sweat.

But you heard the word no-face shrugged about not killing and gained slight hope...... only slightly better complexion.

But such a glimmer of hope will be shattered with the following words:

"... if you will be honest with me about the existence that asked you to do this... 'I will forgive you to such an extent that you will never be satisfied with your daily life again'"

"Huh!?

"If you say you won't reveal your client in your professional pride, that's good too... the results won't change. You will eventually tell it all in your own mouth. However, in that case... after I've told you everything, I'm sure you'll say, 'Please kill me' or... come on, you can choose which one, right?

"Ah, ahhh... uhh..."

Too cold and ruthless a word...... besides, Noface grasps it as it deserves, such as a man's client.

I'm trying to make a man choose after grasping it... to live miserably with everything or die after experiencing hell defending his pride... such a horrible choice...

"Come on, choose... I'll wait for you in a few seconds or so"

I didn't know immediately what had happened.

A sphere of magic that suddenly flew in turned to Princess Katrea and looked like 'exploded before it hit' to Mitsunaga, who sheltered Princess Katrea.

Immediately after that, Alice appeared as Phantom King, and I could also confirm that Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga were safe.

"... ugh!? Seigi! So, are you okay!? Are you hurt? Shh, tell the doctor right away... Yes, no, healing demon instructor..."

"No, it's okay, Katie. Because I'm not injured anywhere..."

"Oh well... good. What do you do! I'm stronger than you! It was nothing to that extent... what would you do if you were to shelter it!!

Princess Katrea looks in a hurry, probably calling you when you're alone, 'Seigi' and confirming your safety.

And when Kwanaga made sure he was safe, he exhaled in a ho reassurance, and then began scolding Kwanaga with tremendous momentum.

Uh-huh, somehow, I still think I understand that Princess Cattleya has a personality similar to Lilia's.

I feel like Lilia was worried about my health when she panicked earlier.

"Oh, I'm sorry. But, look, it's okay."

"Are you really... Oh, thank you"

Princess Katrea and Mr. Mitsunaga, realizing once again the friendliness of the two, and feeling kind of in this situation but a little smiling, Alice showed up before us.

"Shh, phantom king!? Oh, uh, earlier..."

"Mr. Kite, whoever carried out the raid has secured it. Then I washed my back."

It is cancer ignoring Princess Cattleya.

"Oh, thank you... uh, that raider..."

"It's okay. I didn't kill him."

"Oh well..."

What a quick job to capture raiders and wash their backs too, should I say boulder Alice.

And after going to me with that report, Alice finally turns to Princess Cattleya and tells her in a tall voice when she looks like the Phantom King.

"The Second Princess of the Kingdom of Symphonia... Would you mind putting a piece on this one?

"Yes. Absolutely."

"Okay, Mr. Kite. I'll handle the fool."

"Huh? Oh, yeah... but..."

"I know. Never kill, right?

Alice snorts when she knows what I'm trying to say, but that's a little different, so I'll make it right.

"No, it's not"

"... Huh?

"Only 'as much as I can'... If Ali - Noface gets hurt or seems to be in danger to you, you just have to kill me without hesitation"

"... Mr. Kite"

Yes, it's only as good as it can be. Nothing, I'm not going to hold a stranger to his life or death, I usually ask him not to kill as much as I can, because I don't really want to see Alice kill anybody else, and I'm not saying it for Alice's enemies.

"The safety of the no-face is much more important than the life or death of a stranger... you just have to kill me if you have to..."

"Oh yeah... well, when they say that, hey, you can light it up a bit..."

"Oh, uh... anyway, thank you"

"... Yes. My Lord... as you wish."

When she told him so, Alice saluted herself in a reclining, playful move and disappeared.

If I leave it to Alice, I feel safe for now, thinking so... I heard voices coming from behind me.

"Well, I can't believe we're splitting up to go, Body Razor - Alice hasn't changed! It's okay! My dear Alice is here properly, so you can love me plenty!

"... I'm ruining it for you"

"... Huh?

Something was a little cool air right now, but I think it was ruined as much as I wanted.

I wonder how he won't make it cool to the end...

Dear Mother, Father - The Raiders seem to have Alice cleaning them up with a quick job and also dealing with them in terms of backwards relationships. I really appreciate that, and Alice can count on it, but something like this - it was Alice in a way stable.
