Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku
Act IX - Girl smiles in the rain
─ ─ Gallia Fortress Soldier Square
The silver moon hides itself as if wrapped in dark clothes, and one man sneaks into the squares of the soldiers as heavy rain hits resentment but beats the ground as much. He wears a black outfit that assimilates to the darkness, and his face is also covered with a black mask.
This is Ensign Zenon, who belongs to the Imperial Army Intelligence Unit "Yangtze."
He skilfully dives through the guard's eyes as he approaches a single great tree growing in the corner of the squares of soldiers. Then a man in a black coat slowly appeared from the shadow of the great tree.
"Ensign Zenon. Long time no see."
It is Sergeant Maurice, an intelligence agent diving into the Gallia Fortress as a spy, who has spoken out.
"Greetings are good. Report."
"has no movement in the Royal Army. He's only adamant about keeping his fortress."
"Do you know how many soldiers there are?
"Yes, I thought it was about 40,000."
Xenon nods contentedly.
"Excellent. Anything else?
"One thing I care about"
"Talk."
"A girl with a large number of our army soldiers' necks has volunteered"
Zenon was surprised for a moment by Maurice's unexpected words. Because I didn't think the rumored girl was at the Gallia Fortress. At the same time, Xenon realizes his shallow concerns and pounds his tongue. On second thought, the fortress of Gallia and the king's capital are linked at the shortest possible distance.
No wonder the girl extended her legs on her way to the king's capital. Instead, we should have just considered it and made contact with Maurice. This is obviously a lapse.
"... is that woman's hair silver?
"Yeah, you're right. You already know about the girl?
Completely consistent with the information. Xenon takes the initiative with a deep sigh.
"Oh, whatever, you're so close to killing Captain Zamuel. That made a fuss for a while."
"Um," the storm!? Such an idiot!
Now it was Maurice's turn to be surprised. Xenon looks around quickly.
"Though the rain sounds loud, don't make too much noise. I doubted my ears at first, but it's a tough fact."
"I'm sorry...... this just solved the mystery that was suddenly a lieutenant treatment. But I didn't know that girl had murdered-- no way!?
Maurice shuddered her lips smugly, silencing herself to think of something. I can't afford to wait for my mouth to open longer than this is an enemy land. Xenon encourages the conversation to continue, tongue-in-cheek.
"What's up? If you notice anything, talk fast!
"Ah, yes. Apparently, the girl lived in a temple, and I was wondering if there might be a magician."
"What!? He said he was a magician!... if that story were true, it would be very troublesome."
Stay silent with each other. Then it mixed in with a fierce rain sound, and a voice sounded like a bell to both of us.
"Uh, I'm not a magician."
"" ─ Huh!?
Suddenly the Zenons, voiced from behind, kick up the ground and scatter left and right. Looking back in the direction of his voice as he pulled out his sword,
"You are"
There was a wet girl standing all over her body at some point.
A surprising grunt leaks out of Maurice's mouth.
"Hey, what are you doing here on a rainy day like this? Night training? I don't think we should catch a cold."
The girl didn't care about the rain at all, she smiled slightly over her wet silver hair.
"Girl with silver hair......"
"I'm an example girl."
Maurice answered briefly.
"Again?"
Xenon quickly takes the knife out of his nostrils and releases it to the girl's face. Unlike a regular knife, it is a bar-shaped knife specializing in throwing. Besides, it's painted black to blend into the darkness.
Give me a knife that flies at a speed I can't see through in a regular person.
A knife that blends into the darkness and is difficult to grasp the sense of distance.
A girl can easily twist her body slightly. Furthermore, it releases continuously with the chest, hands and feet, but does not reach the body one at a time. It disappeared into the pitch-black darkness, as if it had been unleashed towards the phantom.
(Well, do you want to get rid of all that... that's who slaughtered Captain Zamuel?)
Xenon nods his tongue and goes to pack his distance from the girl with a quick foot judgment. The girl, by contrast, feels no signs of movement at all. Instead of even showing you the bare gesture of pulling out your sword, you're just smiling with Nico.
Just a pitch-black eye stares at Zippy Xenon.
─ ─ I believe in myself as a strong man, but I am proud of you. A sudden, zombie chill runs on Zenon's spine that I thought so. At the same time, a feeling that I had not yet tasted ran through my body. It's not like killing. Something worse and scarier.
If you dare to spin words, it feels like "death itself is covered.
(This feeling is pretty bad! Should we distance ourselves once and see how they get out!?
Zenon emphasizes what he feels. Because I understand that it is an important element that sometimes distinguishes life from death. In fact, relying on this feeling, Xenon has escaped from the arms of death many times.
But the distance from the girl is already clogged. If you take evasive action, you are very likely to take a counterattack. Moreover, if you deduce the skill of avoiding the earlier knife, it could also be fatal. Xenon accelerates thinking.
─ ─ An attack ready to die.
─ ─ Avoidance ready to die.
The ultimate two choices.
Xenon gets even faster when he's ready in an instant. As he approached the distance reached by the sword, he threw it to the ground to show the girl the score he was holding in his right hand.
"What!?
When the girl speaks in surprise, she stares at the sword she threw away wonderfully. It feels like I have no idea what that means.
(It took!
Xenon thanked Citrescia, the goddess, without any pattern, for the measure's success. Now if you mirror your own face, you must have a sawdust distorted grin. With that in mind, Xenon pulls his hips string vigorously and with his right hand. Then Kash made a creepy noise and a hidden sword popped out of his left cuff. Zenon sticks up the girl's throat so she can stick it up as it is. A special blow with blind spots. It would have been a brilliant measure if it had been decided.
"Oh, such an idiot... dude..."
From Zenon, who saw it, a grunt of despair leaked. The girl twisted her hidden sword halfway through her body, spinning her body as it was and flashing her sword. As the sword enters the torso, the butch and muscles break, and the crushing sound of the bones echoes through the brain.
Feeling like something was happening in another world, Zenon's vision was stained in pitch-black.

"Hmm. You think about something interesting. Speaking of which, Zed taught me a lot, too. But, you know, overall, it's late. You should train to move a little faster."
Olivia is speaking toward Xenon, whose upper and lower body are divided, as she hands the sword to her sheath. Regardless, Zenon will never return the word. To its unusual sight, Maurice's body begins to rattle and tremble. Never had a cold body or anything because of the rain. It's simply a tremor coming from pure fear.
"─ It's me. I like rain."
Olivia looks up at the sky and says something abruptly unintelligible. Maurice asks what the word means as she forces her trembling feet back.
"Hey, what are you trying to say?
"Because. Here, look. There's been so much blood splash, the rain washes away beautifully. Don't you think this is a nice thing?
Olivia turns to Maurice's front as she takes gorgeous steps like dancing and dancing. His face, covered in blood and rain, was filled with a full grin.
"─ Huh."
Maurice quickly turned his heel back and fled at full speed. Zenon, one of the most powerful intelligence units, was killed. Maurice hasn't had a single or twice experience of creeping around the training grounds either. I'm pretty confident in my arms, too.
Considering that, he's not the one who fights and can handle it. I knew too much about that.
(In case, the escape route is secured. All I can do now is bring the information back to the Empire at the moment. I'm totally sorry the monster killed me)
But as soon as I ran out, I stumbled on something and fell flashy. Muddy water enters his throat on a fallen clap and coughs hard. Still trying to get up in a hurry, but my legs don't move at all. When I was forced to wake up and move my gaze underneath my feet, my knee was cut clean from the bottom. There is frightening blood on the ground.
"but“ ah “ah“ ah “ah“ ah "ah!!
"I'm sorry. I suddenly escaped, so I accidentally hung up. I'll give this back."
Olivia, approaching on a small run, gently puts Maurice's legs in front of her.
"Actually, I've been asking you two stories, so I knew you were a secret detective from the beginning. What do you say when you're like this?... uh... I remember!" I'll hold you prisoner. "How about that? Sounds like a soldier."
Olivia is laughing innocently, saluting. The figure is like a demon or a reaper. Maurice moved on and let go of consciousness in order to escape pain and fear.
