It sounded like it was piercing the frozen winter air.

I turned my head. I wore a black hood, but I was able to identify him at once.

It was Le Na.

I was dressed in a much less conspicuous outfit than when I met him earlier.

If you said you'd let him go, why did you come after me again?

Did they come after my people?

But now Lena's alone.

Even though she's become so strong that I don't think I can win.

Moreover, I didn't feel like someone was chasing me.

Were you contacted from somewhere else and shown up here?

I was a little embarrassed.

Isaac on the roof says,

That's her.

What do you mean her?

A woman seeking the blood of an apostle.

Isaac reminds me of what he said.

I was embarrassed for a moment and forgot what I was doing.

Rumors spread using Rubia to find out who the auction opponent is.

If someone suddenly approaches, the auction opponent makes sense.

That's why I'm here. It means that I am not the goal.

In fact, Lena was looking at Rubia, not at me in hiding.

After taking off the hood a little, the cold wind blows your black hair away.

“If you give the child bread, it will be taken away from him eventually. If they realize that this is going to work, they'll keep coming out on colder days, in thinner clothes. ”

Rubia blinks a couple of times.

She doesn't ask you who you're dealing with.

“But it's not that I don't think about it. I don't want to give it to you, so you put a reason for it.

I don't want to give them bread, I don't want to take a penny out of my pocket. ”

Rubia gives you a fair estimate of what she's up against.

“You don't really know this kid, do you? What is your name, where do you live, if you really want to cut it all down? ”

“Hehe.

The beggar boy laughed in a small voice.

“Huh.? ”

The child smiles and rubia is slightly confused.

The child is thrashing towards Lena.

Ran away. Lena taps the boy's messy head.

“Shunnie, thanks for reaching out. A warm lady should finish the bread. ”

“But you cheated. ”

“I lied to you, and you're going to pay for it.

You taught him a lesson, didn't you? ”

The boy sees Rubia and moves slowly.

Rubia gives out a long loaf of bread, smiling as if it were absurd.

“Eat carefully. ”

I saw him in Grasmear. I remembered him.

A fast girl who ran away with a letter in her hand.

Looks like Aman has already completed the information network, just like there.

Lena is far more resourceful and influential than before.

Somehow I felt proud.

“You were a kid with a job. ”

“Yes."

Lena glances at something wrapped around her wrist, and again, she looks straight at the side where I'm hiding.

“It was you.”

That's what you're telling me.

You didn't seem to notice me at first.

I didn't know what I saw, but I couldn't stay hidden.

When the beggar boy took the bread and chopped it off somewhere, he slowly appeared.

Pod 'Duck!

Isaac also sat lightly on a branch near me.

“Is it fate or bad romance. What's with the funny crow? Are you a team player?”

“A pet.”

What's wrong? That arrogant bastard!

Isaac ignores the hissing of his wings.

“Anyway.

Lena says, leaning sideways against an alley wall.

“You don't have to do this. You'll win the auction. I came to tell you not to bother. ”

When Lena spit that out,

I glanced up and down with an observational gaze.

“Farewell, miss. ”

Pot!

Lena goes up to the roof and disappears very quickly.

Rubia stares at Lena disappearing into a daze.

“What kind of person? I feel angry, but friendly. ”

What a friend.You took the bait well anyway. The work is done.

I was still confused.

But...

If you think about it, it's not awkward for Lena to be an auction opponent.

Lurium itself is a little-known substance in the Empire.

When I got involved with T&T and Nannau,

I didn't even know what it was.

Lena had eight bottles of lurium before I died.

Nannau shed the blood of her whole body in that silver light.

Presence turned to liquid.

It means that very few people know the value of lurium are T&T.

As long as they're here, it might be odd not to be the opponent of Lurium's information auction.

As I think about it, Rubia's voice echoes.

“If we win the auction, it means they're out.

And they know it's just them and us. ”

“Why would they tell us all that? ”

But it's strange.

You're giving up the auction.

Lena before regression might do that because she likes me very much.

Lena's affection for me is almost initialized.

It's definitely weird to do this because I saw it in a dream.

Lena has known for many lifetimes that she is never a forbearing person.

“Could it be a trap? If we don't raise the price, they'll call high and buy intel.

Isaac shakes his head.

Heheheh. Humans aren't meant to throw coins like that. What makes you so sure? Go to the Auction House and lower your price.

“Are you sure? ”

I'll tell you later. Just go.

I was thinking about it, but I headed to the auction house according to his coercion.

“Hmm. Have you come to raise your stakes this time? ”

“To lower.”

“You're here to lower me? ”

I feel a flutter.

Maybe it's because Lena has already canceled the tender.

Seriously, maybe Isaac's right.

“Trouble?”

It is true that I am worried about what I will do if I say I will never sell it at a price that is too cheap.

However, the informant unexpectedly said yes.

“Do as you wish. The auction period is tomorrow, so you can change your opinion at any time. ”

Once the information is posted on the auction, is there a rule about selling it?

“Can I lower it to one? ”

“Got it.”

I thought they were drunk.

I didn't think it was possible to take the auction format and then freely lower the price again.

Maybe they're more interested in sharing information than making money.

It was time to walk out of the tent and back to the place Isaac and Rubia had been waiting for.

You've been there.

“He lowered it without saying a word. ”

I showed him the refunded hunk of silver.

Heheh. I'm still going to be a little sore.

Are we done here? Hold still for a second.

“Stand still? ”

In the cold and darkness, the crow's black eyes glow red. Isaac glanced at me and said,

Chain, be clear.

It was the moment when the spell was triggered.

I can feel something vibrating deep inside my tailbone. It was a difficult position to see, to touch.

“What is this? ”

Hehe. What do you think? It's a hidden tracking device.

A tracking device?

Isaac continues to speak in a panic.

I thought you had it planted on the side looking for Lurium. How much more of this do you have to lose?

It reminds me of Lena, who was doing a body search.

I was not in a situation to let him go that easily, but it was strange.

It may seem very familiar to me, but not to them.

The tracker can't be Lena's alone idea.

From the beginning, it was all theater.

Lena knew exactly where I was hiding because of the tracking device.

I'd like to think it wasn't all a lie, even if it was a dream.

She may not remember me at all, but she played a play.

I feel a little dizzy because of my embarrassment.

“If you knew this, you should have told me as soon as possible. ”

Idiot, wouldn't you have done it if I told you? They must have gone out of business with all the tickets.

Isaac replies coldly.

I glanced at Rubia like I was asking for help.

“Well, you're a great skeleton, but you're easy to spot. There's something good going on here. ”

It was just a confirmation shot.

This side hurts a lot more than Isaac hears.

“You knew from the start. ”

Uh, of course.

Now they're going after the enemy device. You're going to take all the Apostle's blood we've been looking for at the last minute.

“What do we do now? ”

Isaac points to Rubia as his beak.

While you were doing your dirty work, I got her to buy some horses.

After leaving the city. I'm gonna attach a device to one of them. Later, you'll be devastated by wild horses grazing in the grasslands. Huh-huh-huh.

Isaac giggles as if it were nothing.

But the moment I saw the tracking device on my body, I was amazed at the capabilities of the man who had already made the plans.

While I was dumbstruck, everyone around me was rolling their heads hard.

It was that night.

Isaac went out for a night for a spin before he left, and Rubia was sleeping in her quarters.

I stared out the window with my detection abilities turned on.

Then someone's popularity was captured.

Boarding school.

As I turned my head toward the place where it felt popular, something shook out of the window and passed at a rapid pace.

I felt like someone was looking at me until just now.

Who's there?

I was nervous.

Is it really Black Juice? Is it an Imperial Ghost?

But I don't live.

It was just a look.

The sharp look I had when I breathed.

But we definitely need to find out.

Proximity is accelerating.

I went straight out and tracked him down.

A man dressed in black was fleeing swiftly on the roof and in the cracks in the alley.

Pot!

The opposing team jumps over a two-metre wall with one hand and flees quickly.

In just a few steps, I sniffed the steep wall away like a bird.

But it wasn't hard enough to catch.

‘Sprint.’

[Activates sprinting Lv.7!]

Boom!

You make swift progress behind him, striding your feet to the rocky floor.

It didn't take me long to drive the guy who was spying on me.

The user pushes the target against a dead end more than five meters above the wall.

“There's nowhere to run. ”

As you get closer, you can quickly identify the target.

“??? Why were you looking at me? ”

Once you've located the location to track Lurium, you don't have to peek out the window.

I have a tracking device on it.

That should be enough.

“Hmph.”

Lena smiles strangely, wearing a mask. I see light brown skin over my mouth. It seemed to overlap a little with her eyes in her last life.

“Why me.

It was a moment closer to one step, with a friendly heart.

Heave-ho!

A grappling hook protrudes from your sleeve.

A hook with a long, reaching rope is firmly attached to the roof on a high wall.

Tick-tock!

In an instant, a few metres of chain is pulled and her body rises to the top.

It is a body rub that is close to acrobatics.

I didn't even have time to cut the chain, but I didn't want to.

Standing under the pale moon, she looked down at me again.

Soon, he jumped off roofs and roofs and disappeared.

I don't know what he meant.

It was fortunate that it wasn't some imperial ghost.

Isaac laughs at himself for actually caring about what the sword said.

I went back to my accommodation.

It was dawn, guarding the sleepy side of Rubia.

Knock, knock.
