"The sun... in my eyes... hurts"
Police officers and chamber of commerce officials, scratch the waves of wild horses and flutter outside the pawnshop. As usual, sunlight is a nightmare for sleepless heads. And also people's lively voices.
But that was not the only reason I chose a narrow alley that was not sunny as my way back to the Chamber of Commerce.
It reminds me of Yuki's saying, "Don't stop by." Will this hit a stopover, which was ambiguous as a criterion, but it is against my policy (policy) to pull back my concerns. And his head wasn't so dead that he didn't notice the sharp signs he was showered the minute he left the store.
- It'll be fine around here.
Stop, look back, say.
"Come out."
It was the wizard of the black robe who tempted me to appear in his words. It seemed to me like one of us we met at the back door of the Chamber of Commerce last night. I don't know his face, so I can't be sure.
The enemy held a long cane. The material looks similar to the wood, but the truth is, well, what do you think?
In this pocket, by contrast, is one of the remaining gems of each time. It was processed to suck in magic, but would one be enough? I kicked the ground with no chance.
The light that flies at my feet, if it's in there, I don't know what it will do, but it won't be interesting in any case. Every time you run, jump and avoid, pack the distance.
While avoiding some eye light, remove a bottle from your pocket, grip it, and drop yourself low. Then the Wizard's gaze drops, but unfortunately it's a feint. At that moment, Sputnik jumped high.
The wizard looks up with signs of surprise, but the response is slow.
Got it.
And right after I thought.
"- Huh!?
A severe pain ran on my back.
He collapses in space and falls from his left shoulder to the ground without being able to rebuild it. To say things, it seemed like a bad place to be hit, and I just can't breathe without sound. At the end of his eyes, he found the white light scattered and disappeared. Perhaps he was hit on the back with something made of magic.
I tried to force my painful body to lift, but I refuse to do so with the tip of my wand poked in front of me, just because my actions are unacceptable.
A shadow appeared from the blind spot and ran under the wizard who was confronting Sputnik. They are dressed in the same way, black. That's probably the one who hit Sputnik in the back. After a word or two, the two of us turn to him as he sinks into the earth.
"What's the purpose?"
The voice that finally came out, it was plundering.
Wizard's, glowing eyes behind the hood are cold.
"Sputnik jewellery store owner, Sputnik. Right."
No denial, no affirmation, just look up.
Voices without discouragement. As a result, emotions are also difficult to capture. She continued pale without letting the tip of the cane be slight.
"They didn't tell me to kill you."
"... then what. A warning."
"No."
Look for gaps and run your gaze. but would not allow the other next door to escape even where he had left that wand.
The tip of the wand leaves his sight. But I soon found out that it wasn't meant to let me get away with it. The wand is placed over the wizard's head.
The wizard shrugged something and the wand glistened -
- At that time.
"That's it."
Rin's voice echoed in the alley as if it even ripped the air.
Shortly afterwards, in front of Sputnik, one heel (heel) popped out.
Raise your gaze. Heel, ankle (barrel) and robe hem. One little wizard stood, turning his back on Sputnik.
"Who?"
"To the wizard who does harm to the 'no magic' man, you think you need to name him?
Say, the intruder took a deeply worn hood. What showed up was the girl's head. He has a residual appearance of slightly older or slightly younger than Crewe, but his eyes were sharply narrowed to compensate for it.
"My boss is deeply worried about your reckless behavior. Adults..."
But the other person never listened to her warning until the end.
A wizard with a wand, a hand peering from the robe, unleashed two jewels. The thin light that emerges from it, like a snake, comes towards Sputnik and others.
But she stayed standing in front of Sputnik, not one move. I just pointed my gaze at it. But that was it, and the snake disappeared without sound.
"Defensive magic unfolds faster if a wizard of the same position deploys attacks and defenses one-on-one at the same time. It's the foundation, and I'm not going to tell you I didn't learn it in magic school."
At the same time, a translucent wall emerges between the wizards and her.
"And don't make mistakes. I'm far superior to you."
……
"Stop"
It is better to have a cane to control one of them, who was so overwhelmed by her provocation.
"If you don't want to know my power in that body, answer. Why did you go after him? Whose money is it?"
"- I'm pulling."
To her inquiry, the wizard waves his wand high without answering. I wonder if there's going to be any attack, but it wasn't. The light sphere, born from the tip of the cane, jumped up and burst as it reached a higher position than the roof, scattering red light.
Is that some kind of signal? If so, to whom?
The moment Sputnik and the others missed their consciousness, they turned their heels and ran out.
That's how it stayed in the alley, Sputnik and her two with the hood down their backs. She stared at the backs of the departing wizards.
"... you're not going after me"
At last she turned to Sputnik's inquiry.
But I don't answer the question, I turn to his back side. I turned around and tried to turn you over, but the pain didn't make it happen - she looked at Sputnik like that and said, "Don't move."
"Don't get up. Please take it easy. I'll treat you."
At the same time as the words, I felt a fever on my back.
Sputnik knew the warmth. Because by the hand of another wizard, I had received the same treatment. The cause of the injury at that time was, yes.
"I am the private secretary of one, my name is Cecil. I took his life to protect you, and I gave it to you."
"No, I mean the secretary..."
I twist my neck and tell her what I was thinking about her healing.
"You're not the magic girl, are you?"
Temporary (when) silence, after (after).
Her eyebrow root, named Cecil, stopped by.
Magic Girl, or Soaran, Deputy Branch Manager, Coakdier Branch, Witch Association. He told Yuki, "Yes he has a perverse taste or something".
I'm good at the magic of change (hemp), but around the blur, it seems to hit me.
Sighing as if frightened, 'he' said.
"For once, I am Cecil, Soaran's private secretary to the Witch Society's Cokedier Branch. That's what you gotta do."
"I wish I'd come here normally, but why would I do more of that perverted theory?"
"Who's the pervert and who's the pervert?"
I'm unconscious again.
"The first reason is that I'm in a position too. I wanted to avoid people at Sputnik Jewelry Store who seemed to be important enough to be immediately amused by the Deputy Branch Manager."
"As I've said many times, we're a jewelry store with no philosophy."
"Ha, that intent or okay.... The second thing is, I have a meeting I can't take off, and I've been packing it in the conference room of the Cokedier branch since last night until morning. This neighborhood is also not so strong with the 'Protection of the Original Fathers'. If a normal wizard tries to fly by magic, it'll take a while to get ready and get around."
"You were using magic, the wizard."
"That's not so powerful. But even if it's weak, it's not ethically good for a wizard to magically control no magic."
In that way, I'm angry that they say, "You're weak". But certainly as a fact, Sputnik couldn't beat just two wizards right now, so he wouldn't deserve to say anything about it. Shut up and listen to the rest.
"Let's get back to it. I was in a meeting room, but during the meeting, things were strange around me. I don't know whose offer it is, but I'm oddly reluctant to get me out of the conference room. As opposed to meeting my men, going to the bathroom with surveillance is a circumstance. Eh."
"Don't make a shiatsu, it's disgusting"
What a disgusting thing about an adult man who puts a fist (kobushi) made with both hands on his jaw and waves his body to dislike it. Sputnik, who knows who he is, can only feel scared, even though his outer body (Sotomi) is playing the girl's heel.
But he ignored the point. "So," he continues on his own.
"I checked my case early at the end of the meeting, and it didn't look like something had been put down. So I was hoping maybe I could fly to Liafiat City to see how things were going, and I was surprised because your store was closed. I don't care if I knock or go around the back door... I wandered around and the cops on patrol called me and I got in trouble"
"Police?"
"Ladies of police officers close to you."
You mean nuts.
It's about this guy, I'm sure even then, he turned into a cute woman, as usual, but should I say boulder 'Inspector Sensitive Arms', and the nuts still relentlessly caught me (and).
Soaran sighed to support that guess.
"I managed to get through with the customer at your place, but it was hard for me to believe and it was scattered. Well, thanks to the fact that she knew where you were going."
I wonder how the nuts knew where they were going - tilting their necks, but remembering right away. Yeah, I saw him leave. I asked her where she was going, and she did answer where she was going.
It was only frustrating to be interrupted from leaving by nuts that could only be said to upset people's nerves, but they turned out to have done their job.... Whether you remember to thank me or not is another story.
"You can thank me when you get back. He's rarely away, so he's trying to keep an eye out for empty nests and focus on patrolling."
"Extra help."
Without being willing to follow that advice honestly, Sputnik ended that story by turning away from his gaze and discarding him.
I'm sure that's something I would never tell you from myself, such as that I cared about Sputnik jewelry store while Sputnik was away, and I wouldn't do anything to thank you for that again.
She's not funny in places like that.
