- Eric side -

From the royal palace, two carriages came out.

It's a very brilliant, luxurious carriage of royalty greats.

The soldiers of the Harzion kingdom that surrounds it and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Begonia.

The carriage is moving very slowly, about as fast as the soldiers around normally walk to follow.

I guess it's moving slowly to make it easier for the soldiers to be vigilant around it so that it's easy to protect them.

"This one has no particular problem. What about you?"

"I wonder if there's anything different about this one."

We were separated and escorted from the shadows.

Nina's the one who's acting with me.

In other words, Tina and Mr. Yulina are acting differently.

The words I whined earlier reached Nina's magic for two people who were far away.

And Tina's magic can reach that voice, too.

"The information suggests a couple of killers are coming. Don't be alarmed."

'... what, I say? Okay, let's do each other's best.

Is that Yulina's voice?

Apparently, Tina delivered Mr. Yulina's voice to us.

Signal with your eyes, Nina nods and delivers it out loud herself.

"Well, let me know if anything happens"

Copy that!

At the end of the day it was Tina's voice, and we lost touch.

After a few dozen minutes or so, the carriage carrying the Crists first arrives at their first destination.

It is one of the largest buildings in the kingdom of Harzion, and some of them seem to be garment shops, grocery stores and restaurants for nobles.

First of all... that's where the first information was that there was a killer.

It's just not reliable information, and I don't know where to aim.

Is it after you get inside that building, or do you get off the carriage and aim right at it?

We don't know the soldiers around the carriage, we're going to search everywhere we won't be able to find them.

Cristo or His Majesty Leo from the carriage yet, plus Irene hasn't come down.

I'm telling them I could be targeted here, so I have to be cautious.

But we still don't know if there really is a killer...

"Eric. Maybe there, there he is"

"Huh!... where?

"In that alley over there. I could only see a shadow for a moment, and the behavior seemed like it"

I see those in the alley Nina says, but now I don't see a figure that looks like it in particular.

It's a narrow alley enough for people to get in critical, so I missed it.

"... All right, shall we head there"

"Okay."

In the narrow alley there, we rush off and kill the signs.

Go over the building overlooking that alley and look for suspicious figures in the dark alley.

"... Huh! There he is, that one."

"Probably."

He is wearing a black cape, keeping his face from being seen, how suspicious he is.

Because His Majesty Leo and Cristo hadn't come out yet, he looked out of the alley several times and asked for the carriage.

You haven't noticed us.

This is a great opportunity.

"... All right, then I'll go. Nina stays here for when she misses."

Copy that.

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna get close to that killer while I kill the signs.

I followed the rooftop of the building and managed to get to around the building over his head without finding out.

And then... it's easy.

He jumps off the roof so as not to make any noise, and falls to turn to the man's back side.

Minimize the sound of landing, but no one just falls right behind you and doesn't notice.

"Huh...!?

The opponent turns around and raises his voice...... On the brink, swing the sword still in the sheath through the back of the opponent's head.

A dull sound struck the bone, and the killer fainted and fell without uttering a word.

"... All right. Nina, can you hear me?

"I hear you."

Nina in the distance, but she was already exercising her magic so my voice could pick it up.

"Tell Tina and the others we caught a killer."

'Okay. Good Luck'

"Oh, I can't stay alert yet."

Take the rough rope out of your nostrils and roll it around to take away the killer's physical freedom.

Tie tight and tight, so that you can't do anything when you wake up.

I knocked one down for now, but he could still be there.

Should I tell Captain Anne, who is supposed to be in Cristo and Irene's carriage, that I have captured one of the killers?
