Episode 171: The Retirement of the Brave and the Haunted Disturbance

Side tier

"Where are you going?"

"You don't get it. But we have to go after him."

It's been awhile since Mel and I left the hotel following the glowing shadow.

Although the hotel still manages to be in a visible position, I feel I walked quite a distance.

The shadows seemed to stay away if we approached them and kept a certain distance to match them if we slowed them down.

Strangely, that glowing figure doesn't seem to be visible from anyone other than us.

A few times I slipped away from cars and pedestrians, and no one looked at that glowing shadow, even if I was ever surprised to see us walking without a flashlight.

That's how we got to the beach as we were chasing it.

The time is already midnight.

Exactly. There's nobody on the beach.

How could I have thought of it like this, the shadow would have moved softly toward the sea as it was, disappearing to melt a few tens of meters from the beach.

I'm in trouble.

I don't know anything after all.

Is there something in the ocean, once you remember the point where it disappeared?

When I'm on my way with Master Mel, the ship runs hundreds of meters offshore from us at great speeds.

... also runs on the sea, is that good?

There are two ships.

One of them shouts something with a siren-like sound and a microphone, illuminating his surroundings with a very bright light.

He seems to be saying 'stop' or something in various languages, but the other doesn't look like he's going to stop.

The lights on that side of the ship seem to be on, but the lights aren't on either. It looks black.

Eventually, the brighter ship stepped out in front of the darker ship and stopped it forcefully.

Maybe it's a ship called the smuggling ship that Yuya was talking about?

If so, there may be someone on the brighter ship who says' Semba 'or something we met the other day. You think he's definitely a police man in the ocean, and he knows to some extent what Yuya is capable of?

"And what shall we do for now? Go back once and tell Yuya..."

I've just spoken that far, and from ships at sea, I've heard sounds like some kind of bursting sound continuously.

It was only slightly audible because it was far away, but I think that was probably the sound of a weapon called a pistol when it was used.

We talked about Yuya, Leiria, Mel and I not being so threatened, but they still say it's dangerous in defenseless conditions, and it's a pretty vicious weapon for people in this world.

People are dying like every day on TV.... it's an overseas drama though.

It is the people of this world who are on that ship.

Maybe some people are called 'Semba'.

Yuya and I were talking intimately, and if she was hurt or something, Yuya would be sad.

Then it's up to me.

"Dear Mel, I'm coming!

"Tia, Tia?

Master Mel looks surprised, but we don't have time right now.

I run out to the sea all at once.

And when you hit your foot hard on the water, you make that recoil a propulsion force to keep moving forward.

If you repeat this, you can run on water for a short time.

I can't do this for very long because I have to step in with all my strength.

It would be easy if I could fly in the sky like you or Leiria, but I can't fly.

I have a little distance, but I'll do my best.

Side Senba

Tension runs aboard the ship at gunfire.

"Get away from me once! Is anyone hurt?

"Yes, I'm fine! We hit the hull, but no damage!

If you think about it, you're smuggling firearms. It's no wonder you're armed.

But then you won't even be able to get on board easily.

"Everyone wears a bulletproof vest..." I am! ♪ Oh, well ♪

That's right.

I've been away from the crime scene for a while, so you're blunt, damn it.

"Individually, allow firing if necessary. But don't forget to warn me first. I'll leave command of the scene to Ohara!

If a dull boss speaks any more, the scene will be disrupted.

I've spoken up before, but let's reflect.

Ohara would have been hard to do, too, I wish you'd told me, but I can't tell you. I did something wrong.

"Confirm their respective armaments! When we're ready to go in, we're going to board again!

The Great Plains, who regained their original command, raise their voices.

"Ready to enter!

"We'll be grounded from the port! What, something from the shore, huh?! Hih, it's a person!

What?!

People from shore, that's why...

"People are coming running on the water!!

I look at Ohara and her face for a moment, but I immediately look out the window.

... Seriously, someone's coming running down the water.

Speaking of which, I think I saw lizards running on the water on TV a long time ago.

How can you even run on the water if you care about humans?!

"We've noticed a suspicious ship! Fire!!

"Or I did! We jumped into the suspicious ship without slowing it down!

If it's real!

"! Ohara!!

"Yes! We're going in, too! Pick it up!!

Basilisk, nice to meet you. I don't know who's been running on the water, but I can't leave you alone anyway.

Ohara immediately gives instructions and forcefully boards the suspicious ship with the impact.

Attract the rope immediately to the railings on the deck of the suspicious ship.

A sheriff wearing a bulletproof vest and a life jacket jumps on a suspicious ship at about the same time.

but what was there was more than one crew member of a suspicious ship that was flying and rolling in consciousness.

Perhaps it was done by someone who almost certainly ran on the water and jumped into a suspicious ship.

Immediately detain them at the behest of Ohara.

All I have to do is see it from a patrol ship.

Oh, don't let your body quail. I used to jump in first.

Thinking about this means you're old?

"Uh-oh!!"

The moment the Great Plains tried to jump aboard, people were blown away with strange shouts. Oh, I fell into the ocean.

"Phew, that's the last time."

Only a girl in her late teens came out of the boat with those words.

I'm dragging two white-eyed men on both hands.

... a little bit more serious. That girl, she's one of those guys, right? I've seen you with me so many times.

Stop the sheriffs in a hurry who tried to do what while putting up a gun.

That son of a bitch, you told me not to touch you!

Side Yuya

"Uh-oh, there's nothing out there."

"Apparently, it's empty."

Me and Laylia, like the other day, were out in the outdoor lounge of the Outlook Restaurant waiting for the appearance of a glowing figure.

It's been almost an hour, but I can't hear a single shadow.

Leiria is right. It sounds empty.

Well, I guess this happens because I don't always leave every day.

Besides, if that thing was artificial, maybe I wouldn't let it out on guard. I don't think it's possible that it's artificial.

Take out the smartphone and check the time.

Is that it? It has SMS in it. I had no idea.

Look, it's from Mel.

"The shadow that Mr. Yuya was passing away has been washed. Tier and Old Lack '

... a typo.

That's it for now, and now you're out with the Tiers?

Expands the range of signs perception, but apparently Mel and Tia have left the hotel.

Doesn't that mean that shadow is restricted to hotels?

"They went out to Mel and the others. Anyway, let's leave the hotel and rendezvous."

"Hmm. I can't help it."

Leiria shrugs her shoulders and agrees.

Let's just say I'm glad it wasn't a complete emptying.

I stretched my back and walked out, stretched a little hard because I was shrinking in the corner of the lounge to wait for the people.

That said, there's no need to rush anything else.

Though I don't know who the shadow is, I don't think Tia and Mel can do anything about it, even in the unlikely event that something happens, they're two people with so much experience in action that they're disproportionate to their appearance and age. You should be able to pull the trigger.

Besides, even though Mel and the others have seen that figure, it doesn't mean they'll never come out here.

That's why we're going down the main building, taking care not to miss it.

"Hmm?"

When I come down to the third floor, I detect someone entering the hotel grounds from the mountainside, not the front gate side.

For a moment, I thought they were people touring a spiritual spot like yesterday, but if they were, I don't know what it means to come from the mountainside instead of the main entrance on purpose. It's easy to get past the main entrance. That's what happened yesterday.

"Leiria"

"Mm-hmm. Not the three of us. I'm coming straight to this building. Lord, what do we do?

I don't care what they ask.

From the signs, he's definitely a normal human being alive. Besides, I'm not lost in the approaching footsteps, a move I'm obviously used to coming.

Then I think the people who most likely used this place as a stash of smuggled goods.

"Anyway, let's see how it goes. So, if you're a smuggler, call the police."

"Hmm, I understand."

Hmm? You got it a lot better.

I thought you said we should catch him or something.

Well, he's grown up. I've never been over it.

Me and Leiria play the magic of perception inhibition on their own. Normally in this case, if we don't make each other recognisable in some way, we can lose sight of each other as soon as we're unconscious, but in the case of me and Laylia, we have a magical exorcism pact, so we don't have to worry about losing sight of each other. Even if we don't, there's hardly any sense in the magic of perception inhibition.

You mean, who remembers that Laylia is my squire (though contractually reciprocal)? I've been forgetting myself lately.

That's how I got ready to go down to the ground floor, just when three guys came into the hotel.

The men glanced at the flashlight, probably only at their feet, not to be seen from the outside, while one went to the restaurant, one went to the bathroom and the other went up the stairs. Probably recovering what was hidden in the room.

That is why it is a one-off confirmation of the smuggling trade.

I'll hurry up and tell Akechi about it on SMS. And of course, they came into the hotel from the mountainside behind.

Just over a dozen seconds later, he replied and said, "Don't get your hands on it because the police officers at Odawara Station will handle it."

In just a few minutes, the men leave the hotel building with boxes and paper bags in each hand.

Once we're a little further away, we'll follow.

I'm not going to get my hands on it, just in case.

An officer should probably be watching this hotel, and if he does, he'll be here any minute.

If I thought so and explored the signs, I knew I was there.

Two people come in like they panicked, from the main entrance side of the hotel.

But there's no way anyone's coming on the mountainside.

... Is this okay?

Only two, maybe a cop who was on stakeout, maybe his backup will rush soon, but I don't think it's that easy to hold him back.

The men were waiting for someone or they were solidified to hide in the shadows as they left the back door of the hotel, but naturally the perimeter alert was not neglected. So I notice a police officer who came in without being able to perform arts to kill the signs.

Then, of course, the three men try to leave the scene hiding themselves.

That's what I don't want to get caught.

Though I'm not wearing a uniform, two men approach me as I explore the area with a flashlight, so imagine the police first if it's the dark guy behind me.

If so, you can't escape any more than you've already entered private property on your own, and if you get caught, your possessions will be inspected.

However, the problem is that even though the men have noticed the police officers, the police officers have not noticed where the men are. I can definitely get away with it lightly if it stays like this.

Though I am persistently pushed not to get my hands on it, I also feel bad to keep quiet and overlook it.

So I pick up the big basketball stone that was nearby and throw it right next to the guys who were trying to get away from Kosokoso.

Gassa, Dosha!

"!! What are you doing there! Don't move!!

"Chip! Damn, we're getting away!!

"Don't run away! Stop!!"

Exchange to watch closely with detective drama or something.

But there's no way the side that gets chased stops.

Not to mention the men willing to flee from the beginning. If it was right next door, the distance between the police officers and the men is still over twenty meters away.

The moment I thought I could escape if I stayed like this, one of the men I was running from flipped over as if he had been taken by something.

"Hey, wow!

One more.

Now I get it.

The men were turned upside down when Laylia hit the foot where the men stepped out the big thumb pebble, the sole part of those shoes, with considerable momentum.

... That's clever.

It's just a sniper for Saul, who won't get hurt and leaves no trace of it, so we don't know what we did.

Two police officers running all the way here.

"Shit!"

Bang!

"Become?! Fire!

The last one of the men took a pistol from his nose, and fired.

There was no way the amateur would hit him where he shot him with little aim, and the bullet would fly in the direction of the day after tomorrow, but still enough to make the police officer stop his foot.

As for me, I thought I'd throw some stones, but now that I know the rays are uneven from the cops, I'm just looking at it.

I was going to.

Look at the two cops who got shot in the pistol and got totally up their hips.

When I think about it, all the police officers and marshals I've seen in these rough scenes are special forces people like SAT and SST.

Naturally, they're people trained to deal with criminals armed with firearms, so I guess that's not the case when you're a regular police officer.

Even exploring the signs around us, there's still no sign of backup rushing.

Then, don't get away with it, this is...

But hey, they're telling me not to get my hands on it.

"Lord, if we keep this up, we can get away with them, but is it good?

Not good.

From what I've heard, they've hidden a significant amount of drugs, and if so, it should mean that a significant amount of drugs have been smuggled before, and that's been scattered somewhere.

I was supposed to crush an anti-Grey group that was spreading drugs on me too in a case involving the Kudo and the others before, but I'm only disgusted with those guys.

You can't leave me to rustle.

That's how they got into the mountains, and this won't allow any more police officers to catch them.

Can't help it, huh?

Let's just get our hands on it for a little while, and then we'll be all shiny.

"Laylia asks the guy with the gun. All you have to do is prune your consciousness without letting you get hurt. I'll take care of the other two."

"You don't have to! Leave it to me!"

No, that's why you just have to clean up crisply.

My inner scratch was also vain, and the next moment Leiria's body disappeared from my side, behind a man who had a pistol.

I also immediately grab the back of my head from behind the other two and thunderbolt them.

Yes, over!

After that, what do we do?

If I leave it like this, I might regain consciousness and get away with it again, or if I tie it up, I'm going to find out I did it.

As I was wrapping my arms around and haunting my head, Leiria grabbed the hair of the man in charge and dragged me cheating.

... Well, okay.

When I talked to Laylia about what she was going to do with these men, she said, 'I got it!' And he undertakes with a really good smile.

I can't run out of anxiety but I'll leave it to you anyway.

Railia gathers the three in one place, she hangs some kind of magic.

I'm sure it's a dark system, but that's all I know.

According to Laylia's description, there are two types of magic hung.

One seems to be the magic that stops lying, the other greatly amplifies the conscience of the men.

If that were the case, I would later turn myself in to the police on my own and grab it by a police officer who rushed to support me and talk about what I knew.

... The magic of the mental system is serious.

Anyway, I'm not interrupting Odawara station, and I hope they don't complain later.

Perhaps you'll notice we handed it to Mr. Akechi.

Anyway, let's push this thing through to say that a hero you don't know did it on his own.

I have to rendezvous with the Tiers now.
