When Kazuto was about to head to City Hall after his encounter with 'him,' Nishino was relative to student chairman Shika Fifty Storms.

Nishino-kun, it's me. I have an appraisal skill.

That's what they said, Nishino got dizzy.

"Appraisal". Nishino was also taught and knew the existence of that skill by Kazuto.

Says it's a handy skill to get a peek at the effects of an item and the status of others.

According to Ono, "Appraisal" and "Item Box" seem to be unmatched classic skills in online novels. It was a story that Nishino didn't know much about not being bright for the entertainment of that hand, but I guess the knowledge of that hand can't be fooled because Kazuto actually uses the item box as a powerful means of attack.

That's why I thought it would be a comforting and unparalleled skill if I and my people could get it.

Yet.

What irony that the humans that I think Nishino most doesn't want Nishino to get more than that.

(What the hell is this woman...)

"Charm" manipulating others, "Appraisal" peeking into the status of others.

It's like a skill structure that embodies this woman's nature.

"... I wonder what's wrong, Nishino. You look scared like that?

Tenka stares at Nishino, leaning her neck adorably.

Oh, these eyes. These eyes are excited to see how others react.

I couldn't wait to hate Nishino for these eyes.

"... no, you have a lot of handy skills. I envy you."

"I was lucky. It was only recently that I was able to get it. If I had been the first to get this skill, it wouldn't have happened..."

There was some color of regret in the sound of Ten incenses laying face down.

That must be the monster panic that happened at school.

Nishino's classmates - the worst incident caused by "Demon Man" Whisperer Geki. She forced the monsters she enslaved to raid the school in an attempt to gain tons of experience.

The failure to prevent things beforehand was also due to her skilfully hiding her nature, but more than that, it would be due to the characteristics of her status.

- Status is invisible to others.

The release of skills and professions is only self-declaration. If you want to delude me, you can delude me as much as you want.

Using it well, she continued to falsify her profession and skills and deceive her surroundings.

Tenka was right, if there was an 'appraisal' then, I would have been able to spot her lies. … although it is another matter of whether or not we have been able to prevent it.

(But how can you tell yourself about that skill?

If you just want to manipulate Nishino as your own pawn, this woman would have had as many ways as possible without having to expose herself to 'appraisal' skills.

But why did you bother to teach yourself that skill?

"I told you, Nishino-kun. I want you."

"Huh...!

As if to answer one's thoughts, ten incenses come to cover their words.

Was Nishino's reaction strange, Tenka laughed couscous.

"... Are you going to grip your weakness and threaten me this time because you couldn't 'brainwash' me?

Indeed, 'homicide' is a testament to the sin you want to keep hidden for Nishino.

But... if Shika comes in there, I won't forgive her.

If we find out the existence of this skill, we find out that we are a 'killer'.

And more importantly, the worst information about 'humans will also be experience' will be known around.

(You can't just do that. At least not yet......)

Even though City Hall is finally stabilizing as a stronghold, it's always the current state of the line.

I don't know what's causing the organization to collapse.

If the information that 'humans will also be experiential' spreads in such a way, there will surely be humans who will cross the line.

Once you kill a person, that person will surely change something.

Worst of all, it can be 'broken'.... like the six flowers of that time.

(I'm never gonna do anything like that again)

He finally became laughable when he reunited with his best friend in the memorial.

Is it something that clouds its face again?

There is strength in the knife in your hand.

For myself, for my people, this woman is here now...

"Scary face... Nishino, you look so scary and awful right now"

……

Phew, and ten incenses exhale.

"... Hey Nishino-san. Are you so anxious that everyone will know you're a murderer?

It's none of your business.

"It has something to do with it. Nishino, I'm very curious how you got that kind of skill. If you're in the world today in the first place, it wouldn't be weird to have that skill, would it? And it's about you. There must have been some kind of situation, right? Yes, to help Mr. Aisaka, for example."

"- 'Shut up'"

If you noticed, Nishino used his skills.

"Orders".

Skills that, in a sense, have similar effects to Ten Incense's 'charm', forcing others and monsters to follow.

"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll kill you."

……

It was an incredibly cold voice myself.

The dark part of him begs me to finish the woman in front of him.

There are parts that no one wants to be touched by. This woman handled it too carelessly.

But...

"... you're holding it in."

Pompous, but clearly ten incenses uttered 'words'.

Despite Nishino's "orders" to shut up.

"I'm sure of that with my current reaction. Nishino-san, you really regret killing people."

That was proof that Nishino's 'skills' didn't work for her.

"I'm relieved. You're not the only one who thinks of others as' experience ', like Mr. Gegi."

Ten incense rises and slowly approaches Nishino.

Knives directed at me, etc., as if they were out of sight.

"Don't worry. I have no intention of threatening you with that."

"... you think you can believe it?

"Right. But - wouldn't you believe me if I used 'skills'?

……

Tenka removed a piece of paper from her nostalgia.

I use a ballpoint pen on that paper and run the letters at a sarcastic and dizzying speed.

"Skill," he said, "It's a skill I got when I got my first profession, Student Chairman."

In just a few seconds, A4 size paper was surprisingly filled with letters.

"And the skills I gained when this raised the levels of 'paperwork' and 'quickpen' - 'contract'"

"... 'Contract'?

"Yeah. I hope Nishino thinks it's a paperwork version of your 'order'. If you both agree to what's written on the paper, the subject will be activated as an 'order'. Interesting skills, isn't it?

Nishino stares at the paper placed on the table.

There was a big letter there that said 'contract'.

The contents are related to the homicide that Tenka said earlier and its out-of-the-mouth.

(Do you have such skills...)

How many skills do you have, Kako woman?

He also showed his skills in building flaming walls and mud scaffolding in the fight against Alpa.

Obviously the number of skills is abnormal.

(Is this woman an 'exception' like Mr. Kazt too...?

I shouldn't have had this much skill when I was in school.

Because there was something going on in the days leading up to our reunion.

(Does it also matter that Miyamoto and the others are not here...?

When we reunited, there was also no Miyamoto, the vice president who was her hipster scarf, or any other student council member. Is that what this has to do with? Or you just haven't been able to rendezvous?

Well, there's no way I'd answer that from what I've heard.

"Of course it's a contract. If you break it, there will be a penalty."

"What do you mean, penalties?

"It's a punishment for breaking a contract. I have to write that in my contract, too. Otherwise, it's just a promise."

……

You're absolutely right.

Um and ten incenses pretend to bother me deliberately,

"Well, how about if I tell someone about Nishino's" homicide "and I die?

"Huh...!

What are you talking about, this woman?

"Surprised? That's what this skill can force. Only if they agree."

"... until then, what do you want?

What was written on the paper has no disadvantage for Nishino at first glance.

If this woman is right and this skill is true, no other person will know about Nishino from this woman's mouth.

Only if you believe in this woman.

"I told you, didn't I? I want you."

……

Tenka slowly reaches out and grabs Nishino's knife gently.

Nishino did not realize that he was approached again at some point.

"If you want - I'll be your 'immunity'"

"The absolver...?

"Just give me my name in case you find out about your skills. I'll put it to you well. Speaking of which I ordered, no one can be strong enough, can they? Still, I'm not that scumbag. I'm Soichiro Fujita's daughter. He's got plenty of speech and credibility."

A further step closer.

It is not a physical distance.

Slowly Tenka steps into the inner surface of Nishino.

"Hey Nishino...... I don't know why you kill people and what you regret so much. But that's all I can assure you."

……

"You're not bad."

That was the word Nishino always wanted someone to say.

An absolution mark that pardons the self that killed a person, the self that sinned.

Sweet, gentle poisonous words. Let's give it ten incenses.

"... how did you get that far...?

I don't know.

Why does this woman want herself so much?

Because you questioned the population and discomfort in town?

Because you want to take in warfare forces like Shibata and Rokkawa?

Or really - just because you purely want your abilities?

"If I tell you why, will you believe me?

……

"Or do you not believe in gratuitous goodwill?

I don't believe it.

There's no way I can believe it.

You can't possibly believe what this woman did to herself at school.

Yet...... how can my heart be so shaken?

"I... I..."

"Can I just assume that there's still hope that you'll be worried? Well, that's enough for today."

Turning her back on the troubled Nishino, she gently heads to the front door.

There are gaps.

Doesn't even look like he's activating some kind of skill.

You'll be able to kill him for sure now.

Yes, I thought - Nishino couldn't move.

In his head, Nishino's body didn't even move with Pickle, even though he complains, 'I'll definitely regret not killing this woman right now'.

"Hey, Nishino."

Open the front door, and as she leaves, she turns toward Nishino.

"What's good about you...... no, can I tell you what your weaknesses are?

"... Huh?

"- It's about being nice to people. You're sensitive to malice and hostility, but you're not used to being nice to someone. When you come to City Hall, you can't kill me anymore, just like you touched my father's kindness and couldn't cut him off."

Because, she says.

"I really wanted to help you. You felt it by instinct, not reason. So you don't think of me as an 'enemy' anymore. You can't kill me."

"Huh..."

The wedge was punched in.

'gratuitous goodwill' unlike compulsive charm or malice.

She knew that was the most effective hit for her.

"Bye, Nishino. If you want to sign a contract, you're always welcome."

That said, Tenka left.

Silence.

When I finished, it was on that woman's palm from start to finish.

Is it regret or another emotion that dominates your breasts?

Nishino was unable to move off the spot for some time.

Meanwhile, her father, Soichiro Fujita, was in the reception room at City Hall.

When you spit smoke out of your mouth and push the cigarette into the ashtray, you look at one person sitting in front of you.

"Come on, can you talk to me, Towada?

……

"City Hall has also stabilized. The number of residents also increased and more could be done with Mayor Uesugi's" Town Building "skills. The removal of debris, the building of new settlements, electricity, gas and water supplies are now available, as well as the preservation of food. It's going well. It has finally served as a base for people to live in."

So Fujita goes on.

"It's time to move on. It's time to look 'out'"

"Outside" - i.e. surrounding areas, neighboring towns and other provinces.

What are the other situations?

What is the damage?

Does' Safe Zone 'exist, like this city hall?

In examining that, the information they saw and heard about the militia coming from the neighbouring town is very important.

Especially if there is a 'threat' enough to devastate them, we have to deal with it as soon as possible.

The fact that they have fled here is very likely that their fangs will be directed this way.

Yet.

……

Towada doesn't open his mouth.

Just lean down, blues your face and shivers.

(It was perfectly normal when fighting ants, but this as soon as we talked about neighboring towns...)

What the hell frightens him so much?

No, he's not the only one.

Same goes for the rest of the surviving crew.

Guys, if you ask me what happened, I shake my face blue and shut my mouth.

"Please, tell me about Towada. What happened in the next town?

It doesn't make sense to force me to crack my mouth.

So all Fujita can do is sincerely ask for it.

"I've known you a long time. I'm so glad you survived. That's why if you're so scared, I'll do something about it. Please, Towada, can you count on us?

……

Fujita sighs when he sees Towada as he leans down.

I didn't think this was a good idea, it was then.

"... there's a monster"

Towada opened his mouth.

"A monster?"

"Oh, it's a monster"

Just saying the words, Towada's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.

I guess the carved fear is raging in him.

"Right, right. Even if you're scared, you can't move on. You're absolutely right."

As he decides, Towada looks up.

I was stunned and sweaty.

But blue and frightened, his eyes did stare straight at Fujita.

"I'll tell you everything. What happened in the next town? He's... talking about that monster."

Pompous, Pompous and Towada began to talk about the situation.

"... Ha, you got hit hard, this is..."

"Goa......"

"You don't have to worry about it, Tyran. You just obeyed my orders. The bad news is I'm in command, and you're not responsible."

"... Goa?

"Why didn't you use the Devil's Sword? They'd be dead if we used them, wouldn't they? I just really wanted to say hi."

……

"It's okay. I think I got my face remembered, and I kept a marker. He's in Jealousy, and we're gonna see him again anyway. More than that, the problem is" bulimia. "

"Goa?"

"Yeah, we'll probably be moving out soon. I wanted to hold him down before he got hungry, but apparently he's out of time. You must be eating depending on the allowance. Growing faster than expected. I don't know if my spearhead is going to this town or another, but if I come to this town..."

……

"Everything will be eaten. They, this town, nothing."
