"F Class 7 and S Class 11 are on the south side of District 12. A Class 2 and C Class 14 are on the west side of District 13."
Ainsworth distributes magical tools to detect the devil and distributes them to each region.
The search had begun, but no clues were available.
Only time passes every moment.
Urgency rises.
"Calm down, wait for the report, captain"
"I know"
"Okay, you can find it"
"Thank you"
I say so, but my heart is noisy and restless.
Rinari seemed to be more important to me than I thought.
Become a fake lover in a punishment game.
Make me lunch every day.
Even though she was a princess who was a different person from a slum-grown servant, she drew me on an equal footing.
An important friend you do not want to lose.
That's my linary.
It's no different that Ellis is primary, but I would like to help Ellis with all my strength if I have the spare. I think.
I may be more greedy than I think.
"This is Leon. I have one hypothesis, but I wonder. "
Communication magic enters me and Doran waiting at the secret base of the old school building.
"hypothesis?"
"North of the 17th district is an abandoned factory zone. Now a place that was abandoned before anyone dropped in. Don't you think the devil is perfect for hiding yourself? '
"Abandoned factory zone ..."
I open the map of the royal city borrowed from the library. The former factory area, which occupied nearly half of the seventeenth district, certainly seemed suitable for the devil to hide.
"Doran orders nearby search squads."
"Yes, Captain. S-Class 1st, 4th, 9th, 13th. A-class 3st, 5th, C-class 1st, 2nd.
"S class 1 team is already heading"
"C Class 1 team too. Everyone, please arrive at us as soon as possible. '
It didn't take long before the concentrated search of the abandoned factory area was successful.
"This is S-Class 1 group, Eve. Confirm the discoloration of the glass ball in the northern area "
"It's really Eve! He found it well!"
"I want you to praise me later"
"Yeah, praise. Praise a lot."
"Fun"
Eve's gentle tone sounds even more joyful.
"Don't put your hand out yet. I want you to be thorough.
"I know"
After confirming the reply, I stand up.
"I'm also heading to the scene. Doran asks for the rest."
"Yes, captain"
I go to the scene at full speed.
please.
Please be safe.

side: Hostage, Linary Elisabeth Iolite
The linary was restrained with both hands and legs fixed in handcuffs.
Because magic cannot be used, I guess it is handcuffs made of anti-magic stone.
It is a special ore, also known as "magician killing", that disables the magic of the touching person.
Despite being sealed off and unable to move, Linalie's heart was still calm.
Because of her own core strength, regardless of relative strength.
He decided to be a magician against everything around him.
I have abandoned my weak self that fluctuates this long ago.
(Yeah, I was supposed to get stronger to be myself.)
Linary sighs, remembering herself in recent days.
I was upset like another person, confused, and could only escape.
I didn't know that I was there.
(I thought that I had no connection to be confused by having a favorite person ...)
Every time he remembers his troubled face looking at himself, Linalee feels sorry and irresistible.
I'm sorry and embarrassing. How many times have you flapped at the bedside at night?
(Why did you like this?)
I thought he was just a dull boy.
Is it because he is the first boy to get along?
I really think I'm doing it myself.
(Don't, now you have to think about what you can do to escape)
Linary looks around.
But there was nothing she could do while she was handcuffed to the pole.
They have more than enough care to crush possible means in advance.
(Who are you ...?)
Linary watching the situation. It was then that one man entered the room.
"This is this. How are you, Princess?"
"I can't say that it's good even if you rip it.
"Oh, scary scary"
The man smiles jokingly.
He was an elegant and beautiful man.
I do not know the age. It looks like a teen and looks like a teen.
The beauty away from humans has the eerieness that must not be approached at the same time.
"The first round of negotiations was just over. The royal family of Iolite drank only part of our request. Unfortunately, unfortunately."
The man drops his shoulder with a playful gesture.
"Everything is our fault. They still don't understand who they're negotiating with."
The man took out his body cutting tool-a guillotine.
"So we have to tell them that."
He said in a frighteningly cold voice.
"From now on, we will cut your limbs. To show our seriousness."
A cold thing passes through the linary's spine.
The man smiles with a smile.
"You can choose where to cut it. I'm kind."
Linary kept silent for a moment and then said.
"... Legs. Both legs. So please."
"Well, why is that?"
"I don't have a reason.
Linary holds back her inner tensions.
"Hey, what's going on.
"In carrying out this plan, we also looked at you. Whatever you wanted to be a sorcerer, you went through the opposition around you to go to the school of magic."
"That happened"
"If you cut your arm, you won't be able to write a magic ceremony. So you're trying to protect your arm."
The words exhaustively stated what she was trying to hide.
(…… it ’s useless to hide it?)
"Yes, that's right, so don't cut your arms."
"Is that so"
The man squints with a smile.
"Let's cut your arm."
"………………e?"
Linary's mind was disturbed for the first time after her imprisonment.
"Wait. I should let you choose."
"I let you choose, but I didn't say that you would cut it."
“Please! Stop your arms!
For a magician, the skill of drawing a magic ceremony is the most important thing after life.
If you lose your arm, your path to living as a magician is effectively cut off.
The man turned his mouth to the begging linary.
"The face. I wanted to see that face."
The corner of the mouth is raised to reach the ear.
It was a smile with a chilling spine, different from humans.
"Now, it's really fun from here."
The man fixes the struggling linary's arm to a guillotine with a leather band.
Linary was scared and irresistible at the silver blade that glowed right in front of her.
Finally, if the man activates the device, the linary's arm will be lost.
His dream of becoming a first-class magician is also cut off.
That fact was scarier than anything.
What ...
I've been working so hard.
"Are you ready to leave your precious arm?"
"Please, forgive ... I'll do anything. I'll do anything."
Linary's voice is trembling.
A teardrop floats on the long eyelashes.
The usual strong she is nowhere anymore.
In response to that fact, the man turned up his mouth.
"Then, goodbye."
The blade is dropped.
Linaree tries to pull her arms out.
But the tightly secured band does not come off.
Close ~ eyes.
Pain and fear. And in the reality of losing his arm, he wants to start crying.
Please, anyone is fine.
who……
somebody help……! !
A few seconds long, like eternity.
But the pain did not come.
Is the sensation paralyzed?
Instead, I heard one voice.
"I'm sorry I'm late"
Open your eyes.
What was there
A man rolling on the ground and a slender back that he knows.
(Arvis-kun !!)
A favorite person was there like a fairy tale hero.
