"Can you do it?"
"Probably not a problem"
Aldis asked the girl to gather information in the royal capital.
Despite hiding his face in a hood and covering his ankles with robes, there is a risk that Aldis wanders around in today's capital city. In that respect the girl will be able to move freely. Some thought that since they were originally behind-the-scenes businesses, they should have taken some initiative in such intelligence activities.
It's a complicated thought for Aldis. We still want to help, but that doesn't mean we can't protect our children everywhere. But if the girl's presence can prove beneficial to Aldis, it's an excuse to pull her hand up. In short, Aldis wants an excuse to get this girl in her pocket.
Fortunately, this conversation, which is otherwise naive to the twins, has shown in previous conversations that it has not been dyed by church teachings that contraindicate twins. If you are a person who is beneficial or necessary for you, you may consider taking him out of the capital. Aldis told himself.
"How do the general public, mercenaries, merchants and shopkeepers look at this, and I want to know what the church is doing. Find out if there are any signs of sending another squad. Just because the time is short. You don't have to. "
Finally, a girl who responded shortly to Aldis, who added an extra word and instructed, "Oh, I understand," disappears into the city. Unlike the slender figure he had when he met, the girl who had regained its healthy flesh by feeding with Aldis quickly melted into the human waves.
A few hours later. The girl returned to Aldis, who was looking at the street stalls, starting with the streets.
"How was it?"
Opening most Aldis wants results.
"Some of the mercenaries and shopkeepers defend you, but most of you are evil as evil religions. The general public is even worse. It is recognized as a religion "
A girl whose usual silence is like a lie. If it is necessary for work, it will be possible to speak too much.
"A church?"
"It's been decided to send a second defeat squad. This time it seems that reinforcements will come from churches outside the kingdom."
"Is that so ..."
Quickly As expected, Ardis decides to leave the royal capital.
Fortunately, I have time to spare. It would take time to gather people from abroad. I don't think there will be a raid again tomorrow today.
Busy "Basically, the church is moving in the direction of subjugation. Few opponents. Sisters with cherry-colored hair were trying to stop, but no one had any ears to listen."
Drunk man "Who is that guy?"
"I don't know the name. He was a young sister, about twenty years old."
"Even if it wasn't there, it would be Salte ..."
It is the only person in the church who has friendship with Aldis. While the rescuership of the goddess is the same as other believers, her disposition is not at all unpleasant for Aldis. He appreciated that it would be good to have a friendly relationship with other church members.
"And when the priest Dorlet, who was in charge of the whole, was alone in the room, he was muttering strange things."
Despite Aldis's thoughts, the girl continues to report.
"Weird thing?"
"I said, 'So why not use it on this occasion?'"
"What is it?"
"I don't know. I just muttered."
It seems that words are just heard. Aldis has no idea what it means. But she understands that the girl's infiltration ability seems to be at least enough to sneak into the church and allow the higher priest to sneak into her own room muttering. It was an unexpected achievement, giving Aldis a good reason to justify his actions.
"As promised, you can eat as much dinner as you like.
Asking Aldis, the girl shakes her head and points to a stall that is still open on the main street.
"Is it okay to be in a stall? Well, I'd rather stay in the same place for a long time, but that's better."
Aldis goes to the main street with a girl. He called out to the stall to get to the store, and bought the unsold food from one end and handed it to the girl. The pace of the food disappearing from the side he passed down slows down, and Aldis cuts off when the girl no longer makes a new request, whether her stomach is full.
"I will leave the royal capital in the near future."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know. I'm going west for now, but the rest is fluid."
"... When will you come back?"
"Probably will never come back"
The girl did not say anything to Aldis's words. However, there was a slight movement on his face, suggesting a feeling of being in trouble.
"Do you follow?"
Suspicious When asked, the girl shows a lot of expression, "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it your instruction to watch? I'm willing to follow you if you're willing to do so, but it's a great premise that I and I do not take hostility But if it's a clear hostility, besides surveillance, we will relentlessly cut it off. "
The organization that has already instructed the girl has been destroyed, and she is unlikely to be hostile to Aldis right now. However, given the twins, it would not be better to stick the nails firmly from now on.
"what will you do?"
Ask a little girl who has been lost. In her, the last order to monitor Aldis remains supreme. Obviously, once the watched Aldis leaves the royal capital, he will not be able to continue to fulfill his orders.
"……go"
There was only one conclusion from the beginning.
"Now it's decided. Prepare for the outing and wait outside the west gate before dawn tomorrow. Come pick me up."
Huran Aldis put a hand on the girl's head, and instead glanced at her, she looked away.
The next morning, Aldis, leaving the twins to Nere and Rona from the forest, headed to the gate located west of the outer wall of the royal capital. In the dark before the sun rises, if you find a human reaction at a position off the road, you approach him while shouting so as not to surprise the other person.
"Is that your luggage?"
A small figure turned here. Wearing only a carrying bag, it was like a mercenary or explorer on a day trip. It is hard to imagine traveling to a neighboring country from now on, but Aldis is not much different in terms of luggage.
"Hmm"
You probably knew Aldis was approaching because of the smell. A girl who turns around without showing any upset nods.
"Let's leave before the gates open and people come out. First we join with my companion. I'll take care of my food if I hear you sometimes. ''
"I know"
"Well, I wish I could go."
As a girl, Aldis heads west along the highway. The girl chased behind him five steps away.
"Oh, yes."
After walking silently for a few minutes, Aldis turns around as he remembers.
"You have a name?"
"..."
If you are going to act together, you need a name to call for. Shut up, but of course the girl talks. Aldis is under watch for her. Normally there is no stupid self-introduction to the subject.
"I know it's called 'Red Osprey', but it's like a secret or anonymous that only works within an organization?"
The girl's eyes are opened. She would not have thought that Aldis knew the name.
"Well, can a human being raised in an organization be given an individual name ..."
While walking alone, he thinks what Aldis is all about.
This girl has no meaning, but given the future, it would be inconvenient to have no name. However, using the name red osprey, which was used in the organization, was simply annoying. You might have one or two pseudonyms for espionage, but I don't think the girl will tell you from it, and I didn't want to use the names that make you feel the curse of the past in the first place.
"Do you have a name you want to give yourself?"
I ask, but the only thing that comes back from the girl is a suspicious gaze.
"If there is no hope, I will decide here.
Aldis thinks while walking. At the time of Nere, he decided with a suitable feeling, but this time the situation is different. Aldis was confused for a while if it wasn't so, and Aldis said one name.
"Shall"
It is the name of Aldis's former world myth known as the Spirit of the Clouds. A cloud that flows freely without being bound by anyone. Aldis felt that it was the perfect name for a girl who should be unleashed because of the invisible cage organization.
"I'm going to call you Shall now, and I'll introduce it to my companions."
"……so"
The girl replies to Aldis's declaration, no matter what. Aldis sees it and smiles and turns his gaze forward.
The night narrowed far above the sky, and the sky began to whitish from the east to chase it. Dozens of streak clouds are still floating slightly west in the dark blue sky. Under the flow of free travelers, who could not be bound by anyone, the two people on the ground walked silently to the border.
