─ ─ Inn, Silver Moon Pavilion.

(You're a long way from home. Where the hell did the Major go?

Already two hours after arriving at the inn. Olivia hasn't come back yet. A rushing footsteps echo from the hallway into Claudia's ears as she just began to wonder if she should go looking. The footsteps stopped perfectly in front of the room.

"Dear Claudia! Shh, excuse me! Master Olivia! Master Olivia!

Almost at the same time as the knocking sounds, employees are calling Olivia's name with a sad voice. From the way it looks, I only have a bad feeling about it.

Close the book you were reading and hurry to open the door. There stood a pale-faced employee, trembling.

"What's wrong with Major Olivia?

"Oh, good. and come with me anyway!

With that said, the employee walks fast without even hearing back. Ashton joined in when he heard the noise along the way, and when he reached the front door as prompted.

"Ah, Claudia. Ashton."

There was Olivia, stained with blood, waving at her. Are you losing your mind beside me, a man in black is falling.

The employee fled to the back of the kitchen only to play a role.

"Major!? What the hell is this?

"O, Olivia!?

Claudia rushed closer to Olivia and wandered all over her body. Apparently, all the blood attached to your body returns blood.

Make sure you don't see any wounds anywhere, and breathe in a ho. Ashton was similarly exhaling with a reassuring look next door.

"Claudia. It tickles."

Olivia says as she twists herself around.

"It's not ticklish! If you think he's gone all of a sudden, come back bloody... and what is this guy!?

I didn't notice because I was in a hurry earlier, but my face is covered with a black mask as well as clothes. I don't care what you think.

"It's a rat called Yangtze."

"What's a Yangtze... is that the Yangtze of that Imperial Intelligence Unit!?

"Heh. I'm an intelligence unit. I'm pretty sure that's what he said."

With that said, Olivia laughs karakara. But I can't stop laughing at Claudia.

I hear Yangtze is a covert force with excellent intelligence-gathering capabilities and high combat capabilities. One of them is here.

This is for sure, we must have been watching ourselves.

Whatever the history, I'm pretty sure Olivia caught that pneumonia. Instruct Ashton to tie the man to the pillar to prevent him from escaping for now.

"So how the hell did you catch the pneumonia? May I ask you something?

Claudia asks with a smile as she raises her inner melamera and flames to Olivia, who acted on her own. Olivia started talking like she was in a panic as she let her cheeks pull.

"─ I see. I understand the story very well. In short, since you left the city of Canary, you've recognized them, haven't you?

Olivia shakes her neck vertically with all her might against Claudia, who smiles deeper. I don't know what it is, but Claudia is so scared right now.

At a time like this, I learned that it's important to be great people. I like to learn.

"Ha. If so, why didn't you tell me sooner?

"Yep... When I left the city of Canary, I thought I told you there was a rat..."

When I try to argue with a very small voice, Claudia's laughter finally gets to the extreme. I remember a woman named Night Fork, who I read about in a book before in that appearance.

When I told him that, I kind of felt like it was over. So I decided to keep my mouth shut.

"I don't know if they use such a hidden word!

Claudia says as she puts her face so close that her forehead bumps. Olivia also lost her hip to this.

I turn to Ashton, who is tying a man to a pillar to ask for help. Then he turned away with a sorry look on his face.

Apparently, he doesn't have any allies.

"Claudia, ask me. At first, they were all going to kill each other. But I noticed it on the way. He said this could be used to gather information. That's why I brought you here alive, just one of us. Hey, great?

Claudia exaggerated a deep sigh when Olivia said so with her chest stretched out. If you exhale too much, they say happiness flies like a bird.

I tried to tell you, but now I've stopped it.

"─ Well, fine. Sure, the information on the flames seems beneficial. I just honestly don't think I'm gonna throw up any information."

Claudia gives a glimpse of the Yangtze and a frightened look. Apparently, I breathe ho for forgiveness.

Olivia decided to call it a fly, not a rat, so Claudia could understand.

"Ugh..."

"O, Olivia. Looks like you're awake."

Ashton rushes away from the man. As Olivia turns her gaze, Zoe slowly looks up as she gently shakes her head.

He looked around and smiled invincibly when he saw himself tied to a pillar.

"Apparently, I've been caught... why didn't I just kill you? If you were a monster, you wouldn't have made it, would you?

"I have a lot to ask you. Oh, you can let him get away with it if you answer honestly."

"Hey!? Major!"

Olivia pushes Claudia with her hand to raise her voice in protest.

"Your daughter doesn't seem willing to let me get away with this?

"Don't worry about that. I keep my promises. So, what do you say?

As for Olivia, I don't think she'd mind being rejected here. That's when you put out your pitch-black sword and you're done.

I'm sure Zed will be happy with more food as well. There's no harm in falling either way.

"─ What do you want to ask?

Zoe opens her mouth in a rough way after showing her a roundabout attitude. Olivia asked as Claudia gave a surprise look.

"Will you let me know why you've been after us?

"Hmm. If that's okay with you, I'll answer you. You are here to explore the trends of the Seventh Army."

"Does that have anything to do with us dropping Fort Casper?

To Olivia's inquiry, Zoe gives an impressive look.

"Well, that's brilliant insight. You're absolutely right. The commander-in-chief who took control of the north is greatly angry. Don't bring it here, just go north. And they just killed me... well, I can't imagine a monster dying."

When I say that, I laugh at you, Zoe. Exactly when Olivia looked up, an angry voice rose from the side.

"Ouch! Let the Major tell you what he likes about the monster!

Claudia waves her fist up. Ashton was also staring at Zoe, floating in angry shapes like he'd never seen before.

Olivia smiled after being surprised at how those two were doing.

"Claudia, and Ashton will be fine. Because I don't care."

"The Major doesn't have to worry, I care!

Claudia screams as she trembles her shaken fist. I didn't even have to stop it, but it's a hassle to be passed out again.

"What. You're good at keeping people out of your hands."

Plus Zoe vomits provocative words. Before Claudia waved her fist, Ashton said away with her cold cut eyes pointed at Zoe.

"Olivia, shouldn't we leave this guy here to kill? You've already used the information, haven't you?

"Aha, that's not a good word for Ashton."

Olivia pulls out her pitch-black sword laughing, swinging it down at once toward Zoe. Without scratching one of the swords on Zoe, the rope that was tied up fell to the floor.

"... I'm surprised you're really letting me get away"

When Zoe slowly rises, she moves her hands and feet to check the condition of her body.

"I told you I'd keep my word. I need you to tell the Commander-in-Chief of the North more than that, okay?

"... say and see"

"I'm going to kill you, so just wash your neck and wait. Will you tell the commander-in-chief?

Zoe nods as she seeps a thin sweat in her forehead against Olivia with a thin grin.

"Wow, okay. Be sure to tell them."

Zoe followed the Silver Moon Pavilion as she backed off to be vigilant.

"─ Major, were you sure about this?

Now is not the time for anger to subside? Claudia asks as she puts a blue muscle on her forehead. Olivia replied, glad to be angry about herself.

"Yeah. It turns out we're after the enemy. I knew Ashton wasn't wrong. That's a military teacher."

Ashton scratches her cheek shyly as Olivia slaps her hand and praises her.

"More than that, why would Olivia give such a provocative message?

"Well, if you say no, we'll wait for our arrival, won't we? As far as we're concerned, you seem obsessed with us. If you can control your opponent's movements with one word, you've never crossed it."

"In other words, it removed the anxiety element of when it might enter the center. You mean..."

Ashton nods again and again, as impressed as he put his arms together.

"Well... I'm hungry after a little exercise"

Olivia rubs her stomach and shifts her gaze to the kitchen. The employee who seemed to be asking what was going on in the shadow of the kitchen said as soon as his eyes met, "Hiw!," he said with an interesting scream.

"Totally...... the Major is always my pace, isn't he? I get it. I'll get you ready for your evening meal now, so drop me some stubborn returning blood."

"Yeah, okay!

Olivia replied cheerfully, skipping to the water bath.
