─ ─ Keffin, the desert city.

When the trend of the Independent Cavalry Regiment was passed on to Rosenmarie.

The Olivians were staying in the desert city of Keffin. Food and water supplementation. and to gather information.

"It's my second day in the central region, but you don't see how the Imperial Army makes any moves"

Claudia speaks as she carefully cuts the meat on the plate with a knife. The opponent, Olivia, stuffed the meat in her mouth just wondering if this was still the case.

"Whoops. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

And he was returning words that he didn't know what he was talking about. Claudia puts the knife and fork quietly and exhales a deep sigh.

"Major, you're always telling me to swallow properly before we talk, right?

As I say, Claudia turns her chilling gaze to Olivia. Olivia chews the meat desperately as she nods over and over again. Looking sideways at that figure, Ashton kept quietly eating his own meal.

No matter how many times I was cautioned, Olivia was frightened that I wouldn't punish her.

"Still, a lot of people say it's dinner time. When it comes to Keffin, the desert city, it must have flourished quite a bit."

The dining room I'm using right now seems to be famous for feeding delicious meals even in the city of Keffin. Nonetheless, the vacancy is quite noticeable when you look over.

The history of Keffin, the desert city, was ancient and people traveled to and from it as a city of trade. In addition, the streets stretching north and south around the city are named Stardust Street.

Its name is a specialty that can only be collected in the area. It is derived from seven-colored sand grains called "Star Shards," which are of equal value to gems.

It is a famous story that many merchants come to buy this grain of sand. With fewer people than I thought it would be, Ashton was twisting his neck inside.

"This is a city not so far from the north. The merchants were frightened by the Imperial Army when it might come and fled early, I guess."

"Oh, is that what you mean"

Claudia, who has lightly resolved Ashton's doubts, carries finely cut meat into her mouth with her graceful work. Olivia, by contrast, is busy around her mouth.

Ashton remembers that the residents had some kind of hobby look on their faces as they watched the two in such contrast.

(Is that why the captain of the guard is so kind to us...)

I was still convinced that the platoon leader who guarded the city would soon burn the meticulous care of me. In the first place, he's the one who moved this cafeteria forward.

Besides, the generosity of having all the cost of staying over there.

By now, I clearly see a clear desire for you to stay longer. But Ashton thought that was an impossible story, too.

There are only a few hundred soldiers defending the city of Keffin. If the Imperial Army attacked you, there wouldn't be a single one.

Three thousand cavalry regiments showed up there. Too much power to defend one city. It would be natural for them to expect.

That's why I can't stay forever. Because as soon as we finish supplying and defeating our enemies, we have to leave for Emreed.

After the meal, the three of them left the store behind. An employee sends out with a smiling smile, asking him to come back at any time when he leaves.

Ashton walks out toward the inn arranged by the guard captain when he returns it with a loving laugh.

(With that said, the inn would have been extravagant too. I don't care what that looks like, I think it's for wealthy merchants)

When I was thinking of a four-story inn organized in red bricks, I realized that Olivia, who was walking next door, had disappeared at some point.

"Is that it? Where did Olivia go?

"Hmm? ─ Huh. When did he disappear..."

Has the escape habit been stained with one of the family names? Whimpering about that, Claudia looks around.

Ashton also looked around, but without Olivia's shadow or shape. In the dark, where the moonlight is scarce, it's hard to find it.

"─ Well, I'll be back when I'm hungry."

"─ Well, you'll be back when you're hungry"

Ashton and Claudia mouthing the same content at the same time. When we looked at each other, nature and grin spilled.

Around that time.

In the corner off the city, Olivia was confronted by a man in a mask.

▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼

"I didn't expect you to realize I existed... but you did."

When Zoe asks, the girl exhales in a frightened sigh.

"I don't think they'll choke around the neighborhood and notice or not?

"... I don't remember ever approaching you."

From one incident in the city of Canary, surveillance was carried out from a critical distance where the binoculars always arrived for caution. Jelly had denied it, but Zoe did not make it a good idea to approach inadvertently. Nonetheless, as soon as the girl left the dining room, she noticed her gaze.

"Hmm. Ma, I don't care. More than that, a black mask on that black outfit. I remember seeing it at the Gallia Fortress. Same rat, right?

"Wow. You call Yangtze a rat. So, what do you say if it's the same?

While exchanging words with the girl, Zoe realized that Xenon was definitely dead. There's no way Zenon would leave the person he was seen with.

That's an undeniable fact, more than that person is in front of you.

"Nothing. Come on, I'm blind, so try to crush it. Apparently, the numbers are growing. Really, there will be more rats at some point."

With that said, the girl looks over the surrounding trees - the lush leaves - as she pulls out her sword. Then, even though the wind had not blown, there was a slight sound of leaf ringing.

"... Kill!!

At the same time as the anger of Zoe, four Yangtzes strike simultaneously from the top of the tree. In response to the overhead assault, the girl bent her knees wide and jumped.

"" "─ Become!?

Four Yangtzes raise their voices full of surprise. The girl who stood on the ground until earlier suddenly appeared over her head. It would be natural to be surprised.

"Sure, overhead is the best blind spot. But, you know, don't be alarmed because you held your head down. We also need to consider the possibility of being taken further up. I've been watching Zed a lot, too."

No one responds to that advice. A corpse of pneumonia slapped on the head is beaten to the ground one after the other.

As the last body rolled to the ground, a girl descended to the ground. When I wave off my sword, the mixed blood of my brains splashes on the ground.

"... unusual bouncing power and unstoppable sword flashes in your eyes. That's exactly what I'd call a monster."

"It's not a monster. My name is Olivia. Hey, why do they call me a monster?

To Olivia tilting her little neck, Zoe laughs with her nose. I have nothing else to say to Olivia as Zoe, who shows her the art of human separation.

It would have been accompanied by a piece in the current assault. It's impossible for Zenon to be killed.

With that in mind, Zoë reaches for the multi-verse whip (Tatsuben) on her lower back.

(Well... the hand-worked men who lay low just in case, were also murdered. This is definitely a run away hand...)

Zoe slightly bends her weight onto her feet. At the end of her gaze, Olivia stares at Zoe with a grin.

Just that I had settled already, I was lowering a creepy sword with a black sword.

But it's not until you get rid of those thin laughs!

When Zoe shakes up her arm, she is whipped to wave Olivia's facial gaze. The moment the tipped sickle spear touches, Olivia twists herself slightly and turns her back.

(As expected, you did. Your skill would be natural. But you should have played (...) instead of scratching (...). Evasive action against this weapon is a lifesaver!

If you can roar like that in your heart, Zoe moves slightly through your left wrist with the whip. Then the whip, which should have been sent, changed its orbit and struck once and for all from behind Olivia.

"─ Hmm. That's an interesting weapon. I've never seen it before."

The multi-verse whip was shattered by every sickle spear and was slipping off Zoe's hand. Olivia's palmar floor, instead, is plunging into Zoe's abdomen.

"... why... there's an attack from behind... okay?

Unless you have eyes behind you, it shouldn't be possible to dodge it. Desperately indulging in distant consciousness, Zoe asks why.

Olivia gently leans her lips against Zoe's ear, telling her to whisper.

"You put too much killing on your weapon. Then even the sleeping bird will be thrown away."

There can't be such a stupid story. With that in mind, Zoe lost consciousness.
