The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

In one part of southern Mahaheim lies the Great River Haim River, which stretches across the continent.

From the [Magic Steel City Holkerbum] along its Heim River, the [Castle Fortress City Heka Trail] is in a section called the Golden Route, operated by a flock of ships of various purposes, whether national, commercial or otherwise.

Even now, the Black Cat, a ship owned by [the wreckage of the moon] in the form of a mixture of numerous merchant ships, had stopped at the [castle city Hecat Trail].

The Black Cat docked in part of the harbor filled with another ship.

A slutty, beautiful woman on her feet came out of the aft deck of the Black Ship as the waterfowl danced overhead.

She gives instructions to the sailors.

Shortly after the voice of the instructions sounded, part of the interior of the left and right starboard sides was shifted and the talap was connected to the port of descent.

Numerous sailors aboard the Black Cat will unload part of the ship using their tarrap

Officials of the [wreckage of the moon] who were waiting on the harbor side were also working on transporting the load that was waiting for the harbor to the Black Cat.

The woman who was giving the instructions was named Mel Socutos.

He's the deputy general manager of the Black Cat [wreckage of the moon].

She has been delegated the full powers of [wreckage of the moon] by Shuya Kagari, the Sovereign of the Lucival family, who is also the general director of [wreckage of the moon].

He's a real leader.

And Bennett, one of the organization's top executives and the city's ear chief (elf), also descends into the harbor.

Yui, one of the Lucival family's chiefs, was also on Mel's side as an escort.

Away from the bustling harbor, they walk inside the [new city], which stretches outside the walls of the Heka Trail.

"You don't sell things from suspicious vendors here in Holker."

"Holker purchases mainly because ancient bones for Veronica are the main ones"

"There's a horned puppet soldier walking clumsily beside us right now, isn't there? These are their ingredients."

Bennett was gazing at the horned bone warriors walking left and right of Mel and Yui, answering Yui's questions.

"... right. Actually, I can make it, but I'm not interested."

"Isn't that amazing? The dagger is a sub-weapon, so even this bone soldier would appreciate it because it would be an avant-garde wall."

"As much as I'd like to ask Yui if I can make it. You don't have to waste personnel. This is pretty important, isn't it?

"I'm sorry, I've lived with a knife, so I don't want to rely on anything other than Shuya and his people, but if the skill of a knife goes up, you can make it."

"... Speaking of which, it was brilliant swordsmanship earlier and when both chimps were to be defeated. It was useless to ask."

Mel speaks in a sigh.

In fact, Mel, who can be considered the general director of [the wreckage of the moon], has a lot of difficulty.

It's because we can't replenish our personnel in time.

The executives of [wreckage of the moon] are strong. However, there are only a limited number of places I can look around individually.

Even if you look at one of Pernette's cities, the harbor streets, the pleasure streets, the gambling streets, these territories are vast, while the offices of the small dark guild are disturbed, and it is always the case that fine strife is taking place.

And the soldiers of the major [wreckage of the moon] also often die in that feud.

There are those aspects, and the horned puppet soldier is expensive in terms of materials, but Mel valued it because it is a good replacement.

"... Mel. If we become family members of the Verois, we will be of the same kind as Yui and the Sovereign, Lucival?

"Right. Perhaps we can also create a cornered one? And you want to say it, right?

"Exactly!

Bennett was sticking his face out to accentuate his square jaw.

"I heard Veronica was talking, but I didn't know if I could. I thought we might need to grow."

Bennett the elf moves his long ears pimply and nods to agree with Mel's words before sharpening his gaze.

"Well, fine, because where I could, it's going to be hard to consume gold. By the way, folks, I know you're aware of the signs that follow behind us. Is this still blood-length ear?

"It's adjacent to the new city [the Glades (Rowtown)], so there's also the possibility of a pirate-like chimp unlike a blood-length ear"

"If you want to set me up, I'll do it."

"Unlike the pirates who aimed to take over the ship, if you're just following me, you don't have to set me up here, that's the office already."

Mel is pointing his finger at the brand new office ahead.

"Roger, this time it's an escort, follow the instructions"

"Mel, this is already Heka Trail. Besides, this way of tracking… is likely its muscles, dark guilds, bandit guilds"

"... if Bennett says so much, I guess so. But now I need to go inside and check my stuff first. Then we'll head to Zetta's meeting place with the Salamis Chamber of Commerce... and if it comes with us in the middle of it... [blood-length ears] or chimps, let's make contact from this side."

"Okay. I'll get you a bow."

"You're so fast... you didn't decide to fight, did you?

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Safely closed the deal with the Chamber of Commerce, Mel. One line, but there were more signs of going after them like that.

"I'll guide you."

"Right."

……

Walking in the lead Bennett deliberately slows down his steps as he keeps his bow and arrow in mind.

Mel was growing small black wings from his feet.

The magnificent kicking moves she handles range from a wide variety. Shuya would be excited to see it.

I understand their position as an escort like that, rearmost Yui.

Yui was still silent, yet changing his obsidian eyes.

Black eyes became fantastic glowing eyes, with silver powdered snow falling on their surface.

Eventually, a pair of eyes change to silver.

Yes, she was activating < Baikara's Eyes > being graced by Baikara, the reaper of demons.

Bennett jumps into the attic and hides himself by activating to disappear as he turns around the corner.

Mel and Yui had stopped moving as they slowly walked down the alley at the end of the corner.

They look back behind them and wait for the signs they have been tracking.

And the trackers show up from the bend.

Those were the ear lengths.

Leading the way is a small elf with short silver and green mesh hair.

Unleash your own magic from the dark silver eyelines in your eyes.

It is the mark of a white whale tattoo made into a skewer on his cheek, former Befaritz Great Empire Special Forces [White Whale] Division II captain.

The little elf approached Yui with the other elves.

"Hi, my eagle's name is Kridos. He's the one who came to say hello from [White Whale Blood Ear]."

"Again [Blood Long Ears]!

Speaking from the roof, Bennett stood up to release an arrow.

"- So, for what..."

Mel, with his model-like legs, spoke to Cridos, turning his gaze to Bennett, who was sober: 'You haven't attacked yet, have you?' and did a wink with meaning, then took a few steps, came forward.

The black wings that grow from your ankles make you feel like a shadow, creating a unique atmosphere.

"Have you come to crush every office [the wreckage of the moon (us)]?

He keeps telling his story to Kridos to get his attention deliberately.

Cridos saw the act of that foot before

"... no, it's outrageous. I'm under strict orders from the Director General, so he said," Don't touch me. "

"Really... then what can I do for you?

"It's simple. It's already winter season, sir... there are still days, but an important“ underground auction ”will begin in Pernette, where you are also based. I'm going to show you that face. Besides, I wanted to see you personally, Mr. Spear Man, your general manager. Unfortunately, this time... you didn't seem to see..."

Cridos smiles meaningfully and then speaks as he shifts his gaze in turn to Mel, Bennett and Yui.

"To the Director General......"

"I wonder what you're going to talk to Shuya about..."

Yui has a cold face.

White pimples had developed from the eyes of silver.

……

The men behind Kridos felt Yui's murder and put their hands on the weapon on his back.

But Cridos makes a mark with his fingers with his hands up against the elves in his distribution who tried to pull out that weapon. It's a signal for the military ceremony, a code for "Punish the Weapons".

Let me change my men's attitude, then.

"... Oh, excuse me, were you a spear lady? On an order from the Director General...... Oh, you shouldn't say this, sir. Anyway, we've been watching your new office for a long time. And I haven't got my hands on that business (...). I thought I'd let you know about this."

Cridos was making a smile and turning her best smile to Mel.

"Yes... you can always crush it (...). That sounds like a blackmail word."

Not a swordswallowing atmosphere yui, but a grinning mel was answering Kridos' words with a funny face.

"No, it's outrageous. [Blood Long Ear (Us)] is really busy right now. We are not doing (...) imitations that deliberately create enemies at this time"

"... Mel, if you're going to fight, instruct me, because the woman's hunch is about to sue me for killing that woman right now"

Yui had detected a killer arm in the beauty of Kridos.

This time it was Mel's position as an escort, but in the future, if she might turn to the enemy, and that Shuya might like the look of Kridos as a woman, it was her word to judge.

"Yui, not now"

"… Copy"

Yui brings to mind the face that there is no choice in Mel's words.

He had his eyes undone to punish the killer as it was.

"The spear man, too, seems to have a lot of women. This could be a chance, sir."

"Mr. Cridos? I don't really think you should inspire Mr. Yui. Now you're holding back your feelings as my escort, because if it explodes, I can't hold you back."

Cridos bowed once to Mel, then raised his head toward Yui, looked into his eyes, and then

"... yes, it seems, that Yui's eyes are not Thermalia's -"

"I don't need any more words. Mr. Cridos, if you want to show me your face, that's it."

"... ok. Now, [wreckage of the moon], excuse me, sir."

A group of cridos and elves [blood-length ears] who walk away refreshed.

Bennett watched from the attic and kept quiet, but inside, scratching cold sweat.

Because besides Kridos, who was now having a conversation in the alley, she had noticed from the middle that the [blood-length ears] elves had refrained behind their backs, beside their sides and in positions where they would be utterly ambushed.
