"... hey, who are you"

A man named the Pawnsonian Kingdom Secret Service is in trouble.

"Is that my line? Get your dirty hands off Paula. She's supposed to get it from me."

Paula's cheeks turn bright red at the word "take it".

"That's so Hikaru! Of course my mind and body are ready, though!

"Shut up."

"Huh. Nice cold Hikaru too......!

Hikaru looks sinister at Paula, who is kind of happy. "... Was it a mistake to mess with this guy's abilities after all...?," he asked himself.

But Hikaru -- when he glanced at a point on the ground, he stopped perfectly.

"-- You met Lavia?

When I hear that question, a man tries.

"Come on. Right. Right. Are you Lavia, your lady's friend? No, hey, is that your lady's guy?

"Then what?"

"The lady got it from us (...)"

I told him to use Hikaru's words earlier to hit it.

"... what?

"You're right about that word. We got her. Don't worry, she'll give it back to her owner..."

The man's speech butt gets smaller.

It's —— it's the boy in front of you.

Impossible, the man thought.

The boy's eyes become softly thin and the air just freezes.

The presence grew bigger and bigger, and the blade grew on the man's neck --.

"Yikes!?"

I let Paula go and flew behind me. But there was nothing there.

It was a phantom brought about by fear.

Although I found that to be the case —— men don't admit it.

"Nah wack......! I don't have the nerve to be such a kid!

Sweat erupts. I felt the inexplicable strength on this boy, but that couldn't be from the common sense of a man.

If the boy was a long-lived elf or mangnome, it could have been because he didn't match his appearance and age. But he's a human boy, no matter where he comes from. There is no way such a child could be crooked around a training ground or be a skilled warrior.

For the man, the information "intuition" brought was valuable.

But I denied it myself.

"Bring Lavia here. Right now."

"Don't be silly--"

"Take me right away and I'll forgive you. If I refuse, I'll kill you."

"-- hey!

The man takes a spare knife out of his nose. Run toward Hikaru —— like serpentine.

Quick.

Usually it's the best move you can make just by following it with your eyes. Besides, when the man put his foot up the side of the wall of the house, he jumped into the universe.

Height over 3 meters.

Now they wander off.

All you have to do is have a flash of clearance. That would make it easier to prune someone's life.

"Kid, die --"

Only slightly, it looked like the boy had moved. It's a unique step, and it's like the flames are swinging.

Shortly after, he disappeared.

It was at the same time that I thought it disappeared and that a severe pain ran on the man's body.

3 stone crushes flown in.

Two crushed both eyes and one crushed the thumb of the hand holding the knife.

"Gghhh!?"

Removing the knife, the man crashed to the ground, unable to take the landing posture either.

"... Huh?

Paula had no idea what had happened.

Hikaru seemed to disappear —— because I thought a man crashed.

Hikaru, who should have disappeared, appeared again as if he had come out of a space gap.

"Hey, stay!

"Where's Lavia?"

"Grr!"

"Answer me."

"--Ugh!?"

Hikaru put a kick in the belly of a sleeping man.

"Ugh... and I don't know, my people are supposed to take me... I don't know..."

"Dear Hikaru! He just said something about following me to the carriage!

"You know that."

"Grr!?"

I can put in another kick.

"No, stop it! I'm sorry! 'Cause I'll talk to you all washed up!

Just say it.

"Well, it's quicker to take it and have it looked at because it's in the back pocket..."

"Take it yourself and get it out"

"Oh, I can't move my hand because you broke my finger!

…………

"Ugh!?"

Hikaru kicks a man and flips him.

There were certainly pockets in the back, fastened with buttons.

Hikaru gave in and reached there —— it was time.

"Barca!"

It was a paper bag with powder that was held in the hands of an unwounded man.

Possibly, poison.

Throw it toward Hikaru --.

"You're the idiot"

"Huh?"

Hikaru was at a long distance.

I assumed that a man would move through a gap.

The man's thrown paper bag scatters to a place where no one else is present while the powder is scattered. Maybe the man himself is immune to the poison. Or maybe it was an attack of abandonment.

But Hikaru didn't know that.

"Chi, no, this is just--"

It was the man's last word.

A stone crush on his forehead hits him directly and rocks the man's brain. I fainted on the spot.

"Hikaru...?

"This man was not lost in the killing. You can prioritize killing your opponent even if both eyes are closed. Trained. I will never divulge information."

————

With a blue face, Paula looks down at the man who's already stopped moving.

It could have been too irritating.

And Hikaru herself —— a slightly trembling fingertip, he grabbed the heel.

If I made a mistake, I would likely have killed him.

(if you are upset)

Hikaru turns his gaze to Paula.

"Paula."

"Ha, ha."

"Which way did Lavia go?"

"Ah, that way!

"When"

"Earlier… minutes ago"

A few minutes ago.

(Which way did you go?

Hikaru thinks of maps around here. If you're going to get away with a "carriage," you should be in a place where you can leave the carriage.

We'll be waiting for this guy who's one of us, so if we hurry, we should be able to catch up.

Activate Magic Detection.

(Wide —— eh!?)

Exactly wide. I can confirm a radius of about 1 km around Hikaru.

But it was compressed as "information" and poured into Hikaru's brain.

The distant ones are smaller for normal horizons, and the boundaries are blurred and invisible. But when you come in as "information," you get the same "information" as what's one kilometer away and what's right in front of you. That eats up Hikaru's brain resources all at once.

"... Gu"

"Dear Hikaru!?"

Paula suddenly leans over to Hikaru, kneeling on the ground.

"It's okay...... I'm just feeling a little dizzy"

"So, but"

"I found Lavia"

I have checked many times on "Magic Detection" about Lavia's magic. Hikaru figured out exactly where she was.

I can catch up now.

"Paula, you stay away from this--"

"-- did you kill this man?

That's when.

Soluz-Lande, who pulled out his sword, approached us without alarm.

Next to it is Sarah in a battle posture, Celica-Tanowe, with her.

(troublesome......)

I wanted to pound my tongue.

I knew someone was coming on "Magic Detection," but I didn't think it was them.

I can't afford to be dealing with "Oriental Four Stars" right now.

"Shall I ask why? I'll call the guards, so stay here --"

"Wait a minute, Soluz!

It was Sarah who stopped the solution.

She looks at Hikaru from toe to top. Right now, Hikaru is not demonstrating "secrecy". I guess that's why I noticed.

That day —— on the outskirts of Pound, even though Sarah had erased her signs, she might have seen through that, the boy.

And Sarah remembers what happened earlier. I felt it when I defeated the Ground Dragon, with a cold back, creepy feeling.

Same thing I felt for this boy, the feeling.

What if this boy had defeated the Ground Dragon —— that he was too well equipped to associate himself with it?

"Hey, hey, could you--"

We'll talk about it later.

Hikaru was the same again.

I "intuited" that Sarah might have noticed.

But I don't have time right now.

"A fellow man falling here kidnapped my partner. That's why I fainted him. I'm going after my partner now."

"... whether your story is true or not"

"Paula."

Hikaru turns to Paula, ignoring the solution.

"You stay safe."

"Wow, I get it"

And Hikaru runs out —— at full speed.

"Wait! —— Fast"

"Wow, he's gone... awesome. It's inferior to our full speed."

"Sarah, follow me."

"Hmm... I don't mind."

Sarah runs out after Hikaru.

And later, Soles and Paula, Celica, were left behind.

"Well... are you Paula? I need to talk to you for a sec--"

…………

"What's the matter, Celica?"

Rarely does Celica say anything.

"... that boy said 'kidnapping' probably did"

"What makes you think that?

"It was the wizard girl who was here until just now. It's well worth kidnapping. And she was sending out a distress call."

"... I see"

Celica remembered Hikaru leaving.

"And I wonder if he's Japanese."

Crushed.

In Japanese.
