Kite, who by chance succeeded in gaining a connection with a spy belonging to the divine imperial La Area Intelligence Department named Palmyra, was joining Sho shortly afterwards. We decided it was dangerous to go any deeper. but was greatly stunned by the merging sho.

"... you, eh..."

"Hmm?"

"Take a family hostage, threaten..."

"I originally understood that it sounded like a faction over here, but this is a wartime enemy. You shouldn't trust people cheaply."

Kate flaunts her shoulders. I don't use this kind of blackmail with him at all times and at all times. but when I have to use it, I actively use it.

"Use the word as a weapon... especially if it's a secret detective."

"Ooh..."

I feel like those aren't just words anymore, but while Shang thinks, he pulls his cheeks under his mask and nods. Then again, the two escape outside the city.

"Phew... in the meantime, does this manage to get insiders? You're lucky you're unhappy."

"I found some big houses here, too."

Sho with his mask down takes the map out of his nostalgia. The map itself also had Sharik and the Northern Army, so they were bringing it in. but the town could have been changed, so I didn't really make it Ate, including sewers, etc. As such, Sho will explain what he has confirmed while looking at the map.

"Uh... the big mansion was a bit more. I don't know if it fits or if it's for any other reason, but it was pretty different from the aisle and the map."

"Hmm... I knew it"

"Is that the aristocratic mansion you've been running from?

"I guess that's the thing. In keeping with that, you've built up the city's slums, etc."

Kite nodded at Sora's words. Slam Street is a hideout for spies. No wonder I'm zoning. What is more, their intentions are strong in areas under the control of the Confederate army. There was no problem with doing it somewhat forcefully.

"That means..."

The kites start making plans for the future based on the information they get. As such, the meeting was held that night, while the evening was running late.

Dawn, the next day. Kate and the others had entered 'Partel' by presenting the Adventurer Registration Certificate and the disguised requisition they had received within yesterday. That's how we're headed, not the Union branch, but the city inn.

You may enter the Union Branch here, but you will be out in a few days, and if there is a spy inside the Union Branch, it is possible that you will feel strange from the way Kate and the others went. Only the Branch Manager can place his trust. So I decided not to contact you cheaply.

"Well... Yuri, Firefly"

"Aisa."

Copy that.

Fireflies and Yuri enter perimeter alert at the behest of Kite. I was going to use the comms from here to get in touch with Levy.

"Oh, it's me"

"Are you in?

"Oh... we're also checking military bases outside the city. We've also confirmed the crest of the Selva and Reserva families. That's the only crest we can use. You can see it as embarkation. Apparently, Uncle Reserva is here."

"Well... this one's progressing exactly as it should."

In response to Kite's report, Levy will report on the current situation there. Apparently, both things are going as planned.

"Does that mean you have any information on Shelia?

'Oh. It's got to be definitely in Uncle Reserva's ear through a few of the detectives who snuck in there.'

"Good..."

Kate laughs at the fact that the status quo is going according to her expectations for now. If Denzel's character is as he was supposed to be, he'll have to move. He should be offering to the Candidate of the Selva family, who will be the main house wanting to move by now.

His obsession with Shelia is remarkable, he said. That was supposed to come from his covert gesture to the fold of his former escape. It wasn't hard to imagine trying to get even if Shelia were here. Then I dared to ask you to turn towards me and let my guard be slightly loose.

"... then all you have to do is find a room for Count Reserva's hobby, or"

"I've heard he's a good hobbyist."

"That's a good hobby..."

Kate flaunts her shoulders with Levi's apparent irony. Well, it's also allowed because there's a need for a presence called aristocracy, and there's soil to be overlooked for this vice.

Nobility and corruption are not avoidable, just as maturity and corruption of civilization are inevitable. And it's Sharik and the others who are trying to do something about it. And that's why Kite is cooperating as well.

"... oh, yeah. It was in my brother."

"With Sora? Was he back?"

"What, you didn't know you were alive?"

"What!?

Rarely, Levi opens his eyes to reveal his surprise. It's not how much I expected from her or anything. It should be noted that what she said about forgetting was the flag that Kate recovered. When she found out that it was still stuck deep in the woods, she said, "Go get it."

'... well. I see. Sure would make sense. As you expected, only the living can bring back the dead. If the dead can resurrect the dead, they will be resurrected indefinitely. "

Levi listens to the great tale and guesses that Kate and Yuri's predictions are correct. On top of that, I added my predictions.

"You know what? The brain says that other areas compensate for its function even if some of it is destroyed. Other colons and small intestines of those who had their stomachs excised would be famous stories... if maybe the core of the materialized" Hazardous Tsuji-jin (Makatsu Hikari) "had replaced the heart to circulate blood and become a life-support device that kept Sora's flesh alive... no, maybe Sora's will to live materialized the part of" Hazardous Tsuji-jin (Makatsu Hikari) "

"I see... then it could be possible"

I see, and Kate agrees. If that's the case, it's true that Tsuji fits. It's true that Kate had a cardiac arrest when she checked. but it is true that he is still alive. If you want to fill in there, that's the best way through. And when I went through with that, the two stories went back to business again.

"So, what's your situation?

'Oh. I've already sent the personnel necessary for the retreat. Well, you won't have the kind of hema you'll find.'

"Then you'll be all right... absolutely, I'm afraid"

"It's not like Dada tells me I'm a genius. He is."

Levi laughs. This time, I believe that we have no choice but to deploy a rather unscrupulous escape operation when the kites withdraw. Rescue Hannah so you can't find her no matter how hard you try in the first place, because it's impossible to escape.

No matter how relaxed it is, it's only in the city. It is not necessary to consider that the residence of Count Reserva lays quite a precautionary attitude, and it was so alarmed that it was not necessary to see that some of the mansions where Sho saw them last night should not be approached. Because we don't have to think about it as much as we're trying to recapture it.

"Okay... well, wait a while"

"Well... then, I'll leave the final decision to you."

"Aye."

Upon finishing his interaction with Levi, Kate decided to strive to purchase consumables, etc. like an adventurer so that no one would suspect her for some time in preparation for her contact with Palmyra.

From that conversation, a lot of 14 hours or so. It's time I met Palmyra last night. Kite was walking around the city by herself - but the fireflies are hiding - even though she said so.

"There are only shadows of soldiers around... you don't have the skill to look around... well, is it stupid to place a Rank S Class sculpture here"

Kate asks about the power of the soldiers who guard the city as they travel in shadow. Apparently, even the adventurers are not taking part in the tour, only one of the wartime cities. As such, Kite stands in place. And wait, for a while. So there were signs behind Kite.

"You're here."

"Oh... fast, but I want information"

"What?"

"I'm looking for Uncle Reserva's mansion. And then there's the information about it."

"Eh... I see. I understand the mission. I actually saw where Uncle Reserva brought the report a month ago."

"Eh..."

Kate looks at Palmyra's words. Apparently, it's true that Hannah was brought in here.

"I just... I don't think he's alive if you judge all the information I can get."

"... well. Go on."

"Yes... I am only a maid who serves the Selva main house, so this information is only what was told in that Selva house. There, be aware."

"Oh, okay"

Kate nods at Palmyra's foreboding. That's not a problem there. Anyway, I can't get that information unless the Reserva family has even gotten into a pretty deep part of it. I should have been happy to have some information.

"First of all, it's what it looked like when it was brought in... but for once, the biological reaction itself had been confirmed, yes. I hear Uncle Reserva blurry against Candidate Selva saying that no matter what he does, he has no reaction. From there, it's hard to believe he's dead."

"Eh..."

Kate looks down. I can only observe what has been done. And the signs felt from Palmyra were also seeping in disgust.

"Again, it seems that Selva knows Hannah's survival through Uncle Reserva. Given that, you would also know the center of the Confederate army. I don't know which is ahead of the boulder, either. I'm sure he's hands-on. You'd better think about it."

"Do you read that it moves to recapture"

"Yeah... Uncle Reserva made some kind of offer to Selva Weather last night, but that would make sense considering your visit. I've been instructed to circulate rumours that His Majesty's Hand is secretly wearing it, but... is it related to that?

"Oh. Looks like you're trying to get caught up in the trap we set. That's where Candidate Selva stops."

Kate makes predictions from Palmyra's story. Shelia is moving quite a bit now. No, I'm letting you talk like you're moving. That's because before the kites got into Laelia - they were doing it at the stage where the contract was exchanged - so.

Levy had already anticipated this flow when the kites reunited with Sharik, and rumors had been circulating that Shelia and Sherk were returning to Laelia from quite an early stage. Denzel must have been in motion since before we could get a final confirmation that this was how it was going.

"Yeah, well... he looks pretty in a hurry. I've been here almost every day for about two weeks now. You were here today at noon. Selva, I think it's time for us to leave because the weather seemed pretty angry. Uncle Reserva's eclampsia is something he can't handle."

"Then it's your word."

"That said... forgiveness is also for a reason. We're supposed to leave the handlers behind, right? Confidence?"

"Ha. The Prophet will not presume with the touch that there will be no loss"

"You're smart, too, so..."

Palmyra comprehensively judged the fact that she had been taken behind her back, the confidence drifting from that person, etc., and Kate herself seemed to understand that she was quite skilled. If so, I never got lost again.

"Uncle Reserva's mansion is on the east side of the city. The most vigilant thing there is there. But at the same time, it's over there that the servants, especially the maids, see fright. Flower gardens and red roofs are marked. It's just that I can't get an interval on a boulder. Do something about the infiltration."

"Okay... bye"

"Yes."

Palmyra disappears again in shadow after Kate was convinced. He returned to the mansion again.

"Good..."

As Kate climbs on the roof, she relies on Sho's map to make the move. That's how I ran over the roof for a few minutes and found a rather large mansion with a red roof and a beautiful flower garden, as Palmyra put it.

"... Firefly, can you get close?

'I find it impossible. I assume the enemy's security net is strict and approaching the detour is not a good idea'

"Well... I guess it'll be an assault operation..."

Since Kate had the same opinions as herself, she decided not to ask any further questions. With one eye, I found out this was Count Reserva's residence.

Obviously, the level of alertness is out of step with the surroundings. I was just saying that I was protecting something important. It was that that was far more alarming than the residence of Candidate Selva, the city's largest mansion. And that's how I've been observing it for a while, but the fireflies opened their mouths.

"... master. A sound collection microphone picked up the voice of a young man. I also pick up sounds like destroying something. And you can hear someone screaming again."

"Hmm..."

Kite responds to the word "young man," A man named Denzel Reserva says he's only in his mid-20s. It is the aristocratic society that receives the title if parents are unhappy to be young because of the hereditary system. No wonder.

"Who,?

'Unknown... but they both seem to belong to men'

"Keep analyzing. Report when you're done."

Copy that.

At the behest of Kite, the fireflies enter into a detailed analysis of what is resounding. Thus, the analysis was completed in about 2 minutes.

"After analyzing it, it appears that there is also a mix of sounds like being whipped. He's probably hitting a man with a whip... no, because it sounds more destructive, and I was wondering if he was caught in a seizure. '

"Bingo."

To the report from Firefly, Kate understands that's Denzel. Among the most distinctive pieces of information Kate received from Sharik were three: "The Young Man," "Having Epilepsy," and "Using Whip as a Weapon in Combination with Hobbies and Benefits".

It also matches the information that the mansion obtained from Palmyra is quite alert. I guess this mansion is the Reserva Mansion. And I'm guessing the whipping is Denzel, who's getting scouted by the Selva weather.

"Firefly. Can we do a perimeter shoot?

"I was wondering if it would be possible with a mechanical, high-sensitivity camera."

"Good, do it. but don't be careless."

"Copy that. Now if you'll excuse me."

Firefly leaves the scene without sound, at the behest of Kite. It was originally quite highly skilled and hidden. Because it is completely silent and the light is also transmitted, it would be impossible to find it without coming out in Rank S class as well.

"Well... there will be ghosts, snakes..."

Kite observes the fireflies for a while. This is also some kind of fishing. If you can only find them in Rank S, conversely, if the Rank S adventurers are lurking, they have to come out.

but at the same time, this is where the trouble comes from. He's not coming out, but he could be waiting the other way around. They don't have common sense. It is also possible to decide that this one is fishing and, conversely, to induce alarm.

"... don't move, or... but if you're aware of us, don't leave Count Reserva the day after tomorrow."

Kate sees the fireflies finished filming the outside perimeter of the mansion, and now decides how it goes. Later I had to say it depended on how Denzel came out.

"Master"

"Oh... let's go"

Copy that.

Kate, along with the fireflies who finished shooting, returns. Given the importance of Hannah, there must be an escort. That's how they decided to consider the offensive plan for Count Reserva's mansion below with the information they had obtained.
