I see, I've been on the alert for a while.

Janice said happily as she stroked Dante's hand.

Cecilia makes him lower his voice even more than before.

"On the contrary, why did you think you weren't vigilant?"You know what you've done, don't you? "

That's true.

With no signs of getting worse or being afraid of Dante, Janice looked around with a sense of leisure.And I narrowed my eyes.

"Besides, if you look closely, it feels like you're surrounded."You shouldn't get the drinks you ordered. "

When I noticed, both the customers and the clerks sitting around me were staring at Cecilia and Janice's seats.Their eyes are sharp, creating tensions that cannot be felt by ordinary people.

After receiving such a gaze, he asked, "When did you get replaced?"I didn't realize it, "he said, still laughing happily.

And a short-haired woman who appears before the Cecilians.Showing up in a rough pants style like a man, she folded her arms in front of her desk.

Janice looked up at the woman and spoke a little surprised.

"Hey, it's been a long time." Oh, I cut my hair.As usual, it's attractive except for the scratches on your face. "

"Judging a woman by her appearance, you're still the worst, aren't you?"

It was Marlin Sweeney who was there.Former head of the assassination group Hymart and parent of Dante's upbringing, she turned her gaze to Cecilia once before facing Janice physically.

"Oh no, I was going to compliment you."

"Even if you praise me, I'm not happy about it"

It's something I hate, isn't it?

Janice shrugged her shoulders as she said so.Then, put your hands in front of your face as if you were surrendering.

"This difference in number of people is tough."Besides, I don't think you guys are going to let me touch it easily. "

"Of course. You can't touch a finger."

“So, what do we do? Are you trying to catch me?Or are you going to kill me, or are you going to think worse? "

It was Cecilia who answered the question.

"I won't kill you or hurt you.However, I will get answers to my questions, and I will also get the "Sword of Selection".And I plan to ask you to go to the Royal Palace with me. "

I wonder if the Royal Palace means that I will be forcibly deported?

……

"Oh, are you going back to your country?" I don't think so. "

Saying that he was not at all troubled, he lowered his hands slightly, which were spread out in front of his face.

"Hey, Cecil, why didn't you just tell me you weren't vigilant?"You said it, didn't you?... I'll return that word as it is. "

Huh?

"Why did you think I wasn't watching you?"

At the same time, Janice struck her hands in front of her face.

At that moment, a black Moya rose out of nowhere.It's from around the cafe. And then the first scream came up.

Oh no!

"Chief (boss)! The clerk who put him to sleep is in the barrier!"

It's also the grandfather of the next door open-air merchant!

This is the flower shop girl!

"What are you talking about!?"

Cecilia heard Janice's sober voice against the backdrop of the wolfing crew and the voice of Marlin, who instructed her to fly.

"I'm sorry, I can adjust the time of germination."

G-...

"There are ten of them now. Now, Cecil, can you save this place without letting the dead out?"

In no time, you'll be surrounded by hustle and bustle.Not one or two screams go up.

It was when Cecilia, trembling with anger, tried to raise her voice.

Janice!

A knife flew toward Cecilia, accompanied by a voice calling out to him.And not one, but three.

The moment Cecilia stared at the unexpected attack, Dante pulled her back and simultaneously kicked up the round table.Three knives that stick into the top plate.

"Bye, Cecil. See you soon."

By the time she raised her face, Janice was already on a horse. It was a ride.

There is a dark, long-haired, blind guard in front of him.He was with Janice at the Sacred Sacrifice.I'm sure he threw a knife at Cecilia.

Cecilia couldn't help but daze, and she could only see through their backs.

It was not until thirty minutes later that the place was settled.

Merlin and Ain and Zwei listened to the commotion and were able to survive without a single person and with only a few injuries.

Cecilia, who left the report to Ain and Zwei and sent them home first, bows her head to Dante, who stands next to her.

"Dante, I'm sorry about today. Are you all right?Are you hurt or something? "

"I'm fine. I'm sorry it's getting late, right?"Just in case, if you get in touch with Merlin and the others, it's not too late. "

Cecilia asked Dante for backup right after she talked to Ain and Zwei.

It happened that Dante, who had remained in the classroom, was told about the [Sword of Selection] in a prone state and was escorted by Janice so that she would not be discovered.By the way, Ein and Zwei didn't even know who Dante was.

"That's fine! I wasn't surprised to hear about Merlin at all, but it was a pleasure to see you for a long time!"

"You're gonna be so happy to say that."

Ah, Merlin-san!

Cecilia gave a familiar voice to Merlin, who was standing next to Dante sometime.Merlin looks down at her like she sees her sister.

“It's been a long time. Thank you for your time today!”

"It's fine." I wanted to thank you for saving my life.It was a great opportunity. "

After saying that, she said, "Mm.I don't know if you've thanked me or not, but I'm shrugging my shoulders with mockery. "

"Well, you really go to college dressed as a man."You know, Dante knew that, but he's a really nonsensical kid.Besides, you're trying to set things up with that man... "

"Ahahah..."

"Moreover, the opponent can manipulate the [barrier]?"I've never heard of such a guy.... did you really know? "

You heard the story earlier, and Merlin looks reluctant.Cecilia replied vaguely to the question, "Well, you know...", and she sighed forcefully.

"Absolutely not you!" It's not the same thing as recklessness!If you don't stop, no matter how many lives there are-- "

"Well, Merlin, don't be so angry."Everyone was safe, so it's safe! "

"You, too!" I told you not to accept such a man's request! "

Ouch, ouch!

Shortly after she sheltered Cecilia, Dante was pulled to his ears by Merlin.Honestly, Dante thinks it's quite straightforward, but to see that he doesn't resist, he may have some reflection.

Cecilia raised her hand to the two of them.

Is that Oscar you're referring to when you say 'request of such a man'?

"Oh, did you know that?"That's right, it's about that request. "

According to Merlin, the request was not from Dante, but from another member of his crew at first.The member apparently had Janice take her place in the casino and could not refuse the request.Besides, Oscar was initially told that he was an "aristocratic man".After a lot of research, it turned out that the target was a royal family, and when Merlin directly refused Janice, he was charged a penalty that Highmart could not pay.

"There was a way to get rid of the penalty, but trust is more important to a business like ours than a business on the outside.Even if we heard strange rumors, we weren't enemies, and we were planning to pay for it.Then he'll ignore what I'm saying and take care of it all by himself... "

"After all, if you had paid the penalty like that, Jean, everyone would have killed you, right?"

"Well, if you bring that kind of contract on your own."There were a lot of bloody things back then... "

Merlin nodded as if he were right.

Perhaps because death has brought us closer to life than Cecilia and the others, but in the tone of speaking of the death of our people, it is too sloppy.

Um, so Dante's doing it for his people?

"Well, that's right. But after all, I couldn't kill Oscar!"

Well then, who is this Jean?

“I'm alive, but now I'm like everybody's handyman.”

Merlin answered the last question.At the end of her eyes, there was a skinny man who seemed more or less dull and was being used by everyone.That must be Jean.

"The people who were trying to kill Jang were wiped out in the commotion that roared at you."He took his life, too.Bad luck is strong. "

"Well then, the penalty is...."

"Raw hatred, because Hi-Mart is gone."No one can claim what's missing!Because the organization itself is one thing, it has nothing to do with trust! "

That said, Merlin poked his teeth out.It's unusual, it's a bad face, it's unpleasant.

She blinked her bad face and said, "Oh, yes!I forgot. "Then he took out a piece of paper and offered it to Cecilia.

"Yes, this."

"What is this?"...... map? "

“There's a bar on the map.If there's anything you want us to do, could you please send a letter to the owner? ”

"Um......"

"I won't take the money." It didn't help much this time.I'll work for free for another time or so. "

Huh? Oh, thank you!

In gratitude, Merlin mixes Cecilia's head together.The workmanship around here is just like that of Dante.

"Also, I'll turn off the record of what I heard this time."But be careful, okay?That man is a dangerous man.If you want to fight, don't fight directly from the front. Got it? "

Ah, yes! Thank you.

In Cecilia's gratitude, Merlin stirred her head again.
