The night sky is widening, and the streets of the royal city where no humans can be seen. The light was spilling from one corner of the red-light district, and the moon was shrouded in darkness, and the peeking into the night gap slightly illuminated the Aldis.
"It's been a lot late"
"Who's to blame, who?"
Looking up at the sky, Aldis glances at her golden buddy muttering carefree.
"Because if you leave, it's a waste"
"That's why we didn't have to flatten it from end to end."
The third day of the Fuyo Cup. Moore lost to Aldis in the quarterfinals, but the Duke is well aware of the battle. The duke's mansion guard was close to retirement due to his seniority, and the duke invited him to take his place. Moore, who was worried about his swing, received two replies.
Supper Afterwards, a celebration of Moore's appointment as security commander and Aldis's advance to the semifinals was held at the Duke's House. Naturally, one of the protagonists, Aldis, has to participate. You will not be able to return to the forest when it is bright, but if you only have supper, it will not be that late. It was a mistake to simply judge that it would be in time for the gate of the royal capital to close.
During the game, Rona, who was taking a leisurely nap at the training hall of the Duke's mansion, was allowed to enter the supper hall at Minerva's request, and she would throw out the word refrained from doing so, and she would show off her willingness .
It began with the dishes being brought in one after another, and the amused Duke ordered the cooks to bring in the extras. After all, people around the world will continue to look at the scene where a new dish continues to be served until the ingredients in the kitchen are empty, and Rona stuffs it to the belly like a bottomless swamp, and people around him will continue to look at it, if he notices it completely It was late.
"Thanks for this time"
"It's not all. Look, sweets and berries are brought back this way."
Protesting, Rona shows Aldis the bag she hangs on her neck. The bag was filled with baked goods and sweet fruits.
"Are you going to eat that and still eat?"
"It's a souvenir, a souvenir. Will Philia and Liana be happy?"
Aldis sighs deeply and places an order for his partner.
"Don't feed them too many sweets. You'll have bad habits."
"Okay, it's okay to give them about 10%."
"The rest?"
"Of course I will eat?"
"Hey……"
Just what was the excuse that you just made for a souvenir? Before the root of his tongue dries, he turned his face to Rona, who withdrew his previous statement, but his buddy changed his topic without evil when he continued to humming with his unpleasant face.
"I can't get any more at this time, right?"
"... It's bad to forcibly wake him up, but the gates are naturally closed .... I can't help going over the outer wall from a blind spot."
Aldis and others go off the main street and enter the side street. On a road with no traffic at all, I came to a quiet residential area.
Luna pays attention to Aldis, prompting the surrounding air to swell.
"Al"
"I know"
Aldis walks quietly, but his consciousness is sharply sharpened. Not to be told by Rona, she was aware of her surroundings.
"Many"
Many reactions caught in magical exploration. It seemed that Aldis and Rona were surrounded from all sides, and that the distance was gradually reduced.
"I don't want Al to go to the semifinals."
Rona uttered without clarifying who.
He walks with the enclosure for a while, and when he reaches a place where visibility is likely to be secured, Aldis stops. Soten Ayaka Judging that it is certain to attack, she slowly pulls out [] from her waist.
At that time, the box began to narrow rapidly, as if they had been shown together. More than thirty people, with their weapons in hand, jump out of the building, from the roof, from across the alley, and attack the Aldis with exuberant murder.
"Well, it's just second-class."
Rona muttered like a beat. They are not afraid to be afraid of them, such as assassins who can not suppress the killing.
"I'm gonna push it in numbers."
Contempt Aldis returns words with a light touch.
Certainly, if more than thirty humans can attack at once, even if their arms are second-rate, those who have been attacked can not be free. Skills No matter how mercenary you are, you can't deal with five or six people at the same time. Of course, that's the story of those who would be attacked.
Do the raiders know? The nickname of the opponent who turned their blades. Out of common sense feat that the person made.
"I left behind."
"OK"
In a short exchange of roles, Aldis picks up the assailant in front of Ayaka Soten in front of him.
Swing a sword while passing through while dodging one blade that has attacked from before. Hold your sword to the next enemy while driving your opponent who falls deeply into the corner of sight.
A sudden sword attack came in from the side of an assailant trying to get away in a hurry.
"In the meantime?"
A white sword floating in the air tears the assailant's neck open with surprise into a single letter. In a hurry, the other assailants tried to keep a distance, but this time a thin yellow-green blade penetrated the body to prevent it.
"What, from where ...!?"
Dismayed In a blink of an eye, they lost two friends, and one of the assailants looked around. Capturing His gaze is twelve flying swords floating suspiciously in the dark.
Of course, Aldis was not wearing twelve swords. Previously, a total of three swords were hung on the left and right hips, but now Aldis has only one sheath of Ayaka Soten on the waist. Aldis used a special method to draw twelve flying swords to this place. Naturally, the assailants don't know it, and they will suddenly feel like a sword that shouldn't be there.
All dull glows reflecting the faint moonlight point to the squad's vital points.
"Thirty people were too few."
When Aldis fired intimidatingly, the sword began to move in response to it, attacking the assailant as if each one was being manipulated by an invisible user.
"Now, this is ... Gua!"
"It's fast! Wow ah!"
It doesn't just fly straight. Nagi: Sometimes, beats, sometimes stabs, sometimes cuts down. The metal sword moves like a creature, slashing in the mix of feints as a top swordsman does. It won't be an accumulation for the other party.
With the flying sword flying in the air, an enemy you may never have encountered, the lives of the assailants will soon be reaped. Just a minute in time. A corner of the street was painted in the blood of the assailants.
"This is over too."
Rona, who has cleared the assailants from behind, approaches her step lightly.
Gate "It seems like you're used to opening it."
"Oh, thanks I don't have to carry many swords, I'm saved."
Flying swords returning to Aldis are suddenly sucked into a small rift that appeared in the air and disappeared. Afterburn The twelfth rift that inhaled the sword disappeared without leaving its role.
"Unless I'm sorry that the gate is too small to pass only a sword"
Aldis's voice is a bit frustrating.
"I guess that's going to be solved someday. I've got the knack and I think I'll be able to enlarge the gate very soon. You can get rid of the enemy quickly-that's it, but there's one more left. "
Not to mention Rona, Aldis was aware of its existence. A human-sized entity lurking about 30 meters away has been caught by Aldis's magical exploration.
"I'll be back"
As soon as he answered, Aldis's body began to move fast to catch the last one. It's not very magical, but I don't think I'm a civilian because I'm out of the building at this time.
He seemed to be impressed by this move, and the target person began to move in a hurry to retreat.
"Do you want to escape?"
But it's even slower now. If you want to escape Aldis's pursuit, you should retreat while he is fighting. Even if you try to escape from the state of being captured, you will not be able to shake off Aldis who knows the position of the opponent with magical exploration and may even fly in the sky.
The person tries to pursue while entering the alley. Predicting its course, Aldis advanced ahead of the air and suddenly descended from darkness in front of a figure.
"Hey ...!"
I guess he didn't expect to be proactive. A short screaming voice came from the mouth of the figure.
Seeing that figure, the movement of Ayaka Soten, who was swinging above Aldis's head, stopped right.
"What are you?"
Aldis's perplexity is reasonable. She was a young girl dressed in worn-out town girl-like clothes, in front of her, despite she thought she had a man dressed like an assailant.
