Riot Grasper

"- It's sudden and bad, but could you get out of the Empire right now?

Words don't look sorry for a shard in the back, and the woman has only communicated the requirements to a single direct entry.

I guess this is what an atmosphere that doesn't make you say yes or no.

Eyes as if there was no light to dwell on are likely to draw in in a bad way.

"Uh, no... or who are you?

There's no way I can honestly nod when someone I met tells me that.

"It tickles... so does it"

The woman laughed funny, but this one raised her guard a step higher.

I've been making various moves to explore information in the palace for a while now, so maybe the minister who sensed it ordered his men to deal with it.

Because this man is a potential assassin.

Just in case, you should check your possession skills -

"Become..."

I caught a glimpse of the other person's face, trying to focus my consciousness and grasp the status - I can't see.

Normally, information that comes up clearly doesn't come out as if it were obstructed.

Seriously...... no, it's really this big a country, so should I have considered the possibility of one or so being there?

The inability to read information in my Bandit's Eye (Liot Eyes) means that the opponent also possesses one of the seven major crime skills.

Even so, it's called the Dino you attacked before, and maybe it feels like those people get pulled together? You're too likely to meet him!

Just so I know, it's my Greed, Shania's Wrath, Rim's Raging Eclipse.

If that were the case with the person in front of you, the majority of the seven major crimes would be nearby.

Whoa... how much?

Either way, we'll need to be careful here.

Even though there is a rim beside me with major crime skills as well, I don't know what will happen, even if it's two to one.

"Oh... you noticed that too? I was a little surprised, too. I thought it was just one person, but I can't believe it's even that girl over there."

Again... do you even find out about Rim?

As this one did, in some way, he must have confirmed that the subject was a major crime skill holder.

"How... did you know we were 'yes'?

I don't think I'm going to answer honestly, but let's just ask.

I learned a lot from Shania about the Big Crimes skill, and the power of the Big Crimes skill overthrows each other, but this person understands it himself.

"You guys... it will still be shallow after that power becomes available, won't it? I was given strength a long time ago."

I don't know, I got an answer that I don't know.

Truth is, it hasn't been a year since I was reincarnated into this world.

"Yes, yes. The first question was, who am I? My name is Hera. Yeah, well, just because this one introduced herself doesn't mean you need to tell her your name, right? Or because I know you don't have to tell me. You're Sage, and that girl over there is Rim, right? Hahaha...... you two look like good friends. You seem a little jealous."

Oh, no, I'm so scared of something.

It's not like the other person possesses a felony skill and is not alert, or something like that.

Somehow, I'm just scared.

Sending Rim a glimpse of herself seemed to be overwhelming to determine who they were too.

"But I'm relieved by the people who seem to understand if we talk properly. If we're gonna settle this through discussion, that's the best part."

I want to agree with you, but I don't think it's a discussion to be told to leave all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't swallowed the situation yet"

How do I guess what with a name only introduction?

"... right. You're the type of person who can't let go if someone in need is in front of you? Or maybe someone who sticks his neck in without being able to contain his curiosity? Either way, if it's about the village girl, it's a smile, but I think you should stop trying to get involved with the inside of the Imperial Palace."

"The Imperial Palace... what are you talking about?

Although I tried my best to get out of my way, Hera continued the conversation laughing as she shrugged.

"You adventurers...... I mean, you get paid to do all kinds of work, right? Let me ask you this one time, if a pile of gold coins were piled up in front of you enough to play and live your whole life, would you be willing to serve Master Gilbaran?

Gilbaran 'Dear' still means that this woman named Hera will be at the minister's disposal.

Mr. Tolfin advised us we should leave the capital worried, but you mean the minister finds out that he stayed in the capital and was gathering information?

But... why are you talking about hiring me again?

"He can use whoever he is. As a useful and important pawn, you can already treat it with care. I don't know what abilities you reside in, but strength to the point of being heterogeneous compared to others is a fascinating reflection. The desire to keep a powerful pawn on hand... you don't even know, do you?

Well...... I don't know.

You mean it caught my eye that I was bashing in on my highly challenging Rank A reliance here at Adventurer Guild recently? Indeed, Rim and I have digested the crusade dependence that would otherwise be challenged by a larger number of adventurers.

Wait a minute. Maybe... this could be your chance.

No, not a chance to get a lot of money or anything like that.

Yeah, well, there's something about a pile of gold coins that just lets you play and live for the rest of your life that appeals to your heart, but I think it's out to jump on gold here humanely.

Instead, can we find the light by sneaking into the enemy's nostalgia?

You may find a thread to save Mihasa's mother.

"That story, a little more detail -"

"- But no"

Hmm?

What? This, for some reason, was denied to me by my eating mood.

"Dull... for Master Gilbaran, I must be the most important pawn"

Oh, it's starting to feel kind of weird.

"The most helpful pawn would be that much to cherish, wouldn't it? So I have to be the best all the time. I just thought you guys might take my place, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I was so scared and crazy I couldn't stay or stand. What happens if that happens? haha."

I put a broken smile in front of Hera, and I lose sight of the words I call her.

Because her maddening atmosphere is so unstable that she's going to explode just to respond one wrong.

"That's why I want you to leave the capital as soon as you first asked."

Oh...... I see. Is that how it connects?

It's a pain in the ass to keep us moving around in the Imperial Capital, and I can't allow you to serve the minister.

If you leave the capital for good, it means that things will be easier.

"If you'll accept that, I won't put my hands on you. Nor is Lady Gilbaran free enough to keep after those who leave."

"... What if I say I don't like it?

Perhaps 10,000 people will listen back to the person who pokes at their unilateral demands.

"It's a hassle then - I'll kill you"

Hera smiled and said the words as if they were nothing.

- Dokung, he said.

At that moment - I fall into the illusion as if I had been directly exposed to cold water to my heart.

I'm not saying anything nice like feeling killed, but I was unconsciously reaching for the sword pattern.

... that you're an idiot or me.

If we fight all over a city like this, how many people do we think we're going to involve?

"... but it's the last time I kill those guys. Let's start by killing people we're close to."

An intimate person......?

If you say it in Imperial Capital, Mr. and Mrs. Fort, who are Mr. Dario's parents, come to mind first.

Other things include the Inn's general who took care of her, and the officials who introduced her to the job at the Adventurer's Guild.

"Hey, what can I say... if you, the minister's subordinate, kill someone who has nothing to do with it, anything at all..."

There will be limits to the exercise of power and rubbing it off.

"Aha... you say funny things. But I'm used to that, so I don't imitate evidence. Besides... with my abilities, I don't even have to worry about that. Because let's just say you're the murderer?

"Is...?

What do you mean...? What is this guy saying?

I don't know what abilities you are gaining by your major crime skills, but you shouldn't be able to imitate them that directly interfere with me...

"Dull... if you don't think it's possible, can you just ignore my request?

Hera's words probably have no lies.

Blackmail - can be a threat because if a request is unacceptable, it actually takes frantic action.

If you ignore the favors and the doings, she will definitely move on to action.

I don't know, I know that intuitively.

"... I'd like you to tell me one thing, but as far as I'm concerned, the minister Gilbaran is an important person to you, isn't he?

When I was stuck in words, it was Rim who opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Oh, I'd like to give you a proper answer to your honest looking daughter's question. Hey... Speaking of important, could it be important? Ha ha, but... maybe you don't want me to have a happy life. Dull... a child like you wouldn't know how I feel."

"Yeah, I don't know"

Rim speaking resolutely against Hela, who laughs thinly.

"I told you I was empowered a long time ago, but then you've done a lot of bad things with the minister, haven't you?

"Bad things...... hey"

"We are adventurers. If you work in Imperial City, you'll get a lot of information. I know that the Emperor Mihasa's mother has gone missing. I'm sure you're part of it."

Holders of major crime skills - with such the best pawns at hand, there would be no reason why ministers would not use them.

"Hmm... if so, what are you trying to say after all?

"For Mihasa, my mother is very important... and I think she wants me to be by her side. Me too, because when I thought your mother was dead, I've been blocking it... and I can tell you a little bit about that loneliness"

When I first met Lim, she was a lot depressed by the shock of the demons devastating her village.

"... so?

"That's how you have someone you can cherish, too, isn't it? Then... how can you imitate taking loved ones away from others so easily?

Really... Rim got stronger, didn't he?

No, not in a physical sense, but in a way that makes your heart dust warm.

I don't do anything that I don't like, either.

They may say it smells blue or something, but I think the word she said is definitely one answer.

"Hehe... you say something pretty funny straight from the front. But... Doesn't it matter how much it's worth to me to be a loved one? Why don't you ask Sage over there to try it out? If Rim and the general public walking there can only help one way or the other - choose which one."

I don't mean to agree, but I can understand what Hela has to say.

I'm human, too.

If they tell you to choose between Rim, who you've known for a long time in this world, and someone you don't even know about your face...

"... Sage would help us both."

Of course I guess we've both decided to help!

No, I didn't have to tell Rim, I meant to do that from the start, seriously.

"Dull...... I'm sure that's something you can say because you guys have extraordinary powers. But, you know, you don't hate that kind of hot and bitter thinking, do you? I can't do this."

Hera kept grinning distorted and said that before returning to the story.

"... this is the end of the story. Leave the capital today or tomorrow. Oh, and... this isn't a favor, it's advice from me... but I think you should worry about yourselves first rather than worry about people."

What... you say?

"Beyond common sense - hehe, I wonder if it's also a price for the power given to insanity. I hope it doesn't break... just like me."

Hera was about to leave with such an ominous thing, but turned this one around as if she'd forgotten something at the end.

"... right. I'll just give you a hint, too, in response to Rim bumping my opinion from the front. Most importantly, it's meant to get you out of the way."

With that said, Hera took out a grain of glass balls from her nostalgia.

Without hesitation, she taps it to the ground and steps to pieces with her feet.

I didn't immediately know what the act meant.

"- Because even if I try to help, I can never"

Hera smiles satisfied and now disappears without looking back.

"What the hell, that guy..."

I don't know, we put the place behind us anyway, but after a while we heard people screaming from the rear.

"Shh, Sage...?

"Ah, oh. Let's go."

We were stunned by the tragic sight of what happened and the wild horse that set us back in front of the church.

It was there - crushed... corpse, as if it had been shaken under strong pressure.

I didn't think...... and my heart was about to squeeze up, but its body size belongs to the man.

I'm not a woman.

When I peeked in, I kept the original shape to the point where I could barely discern the face.

He looks familiar.

"And, Tor, Finn......?
