"I sympathize with Turner's plight. But... you can't just run away."

I am proud to be an alchemist.

Though it's half serving...... no, it's half serving, so you can't abandon your pride as an alchemist.

If you need me for that, I'll fight Turner, and if I need you to fight my alchemy enemies, I'll give you a confession and pull the information.

"So, what are we going to do?

"... 'Above' tells me that when Mr. Marzen returns alive from the trap, he will fight for himself and kill Mr. Marzen"

That being said, Turner lifted the heavy looking bag he had left at his feet.

Perhaps there are gear and tools in there to fight me.

Apparently, if I don't get out of the labyrinth city, I'm going to fight Turner.

It doesn't taste good to fight someone who warned me about the assassination and prepared all those ingredients... but if they're willing to fight over there, there's no other way to respond.

"I have no choice..."

I can't die here.

At least as a pity, do you want to do it with a degree of injury that won't kill you?

If it means fighting the assassination target and suffering severe illness...... then the disposition by the Dark Alliance may also be slightly lighter.

With that in mind, I lay down my sword.

Not a very high-performance sword, but enough to fight Turner.

No, you don't even have to have a weapon, you'll probably win.

I consolidate my resolve to fight, relative to Turner.

When she saw it, Turner threw the bag away.

"Hey...... hey tamma! Stop! I won't fight! I won't fight!

Tania yells like that, hands up.

He's in a position to show his palms and appeal to the fact that he doesn't have a weapon hidden.

If it's a ruse to keep me alert, I don't know, but...

But from Turner, I don't feel any hostility.

And weapons - to the extent they can be examined in alchemy, they don't seem to be hidden.

"Hey, what happened to the orders from 'up there'...? If you disobey my orders, won't they kill you?

"Of course you will be killed. You will not survive 99%. … but if you fight Mr. Marzen, you are 100% confident you will die"

"... 1% difference, 'top' is better?"

I didn't mean to kill you.

While I think about it, I observe what's going on around me.

For now, there's nothing like a trap within sight. It doesn't seem like a ruse to alarm you.

But... there's only one thing that bothers me.

There are other distortions of magic around us, besides Turner, like there's another human being.

I'm just wondering who this person is.

Turner caught me off guard. Maybe he's going to ambush me.

"But I don't like to die 99% either. … So, Mr. Marzen, I have one suggestion."

"Suggestions…?

"Would you like to join me, Mr. Marzen?... I'm still familiar with the back society and everything there, and I have a lot of information. Mr. Marzen is super strong, but he doesn't seem to be very familiar with the world here... so I guess he finds it useful."

"Hmm... Is that why you're dealing?"

Honestly, that's not a bad suggestion.

I'm not familiar with the world today. I mean, I wasn't even familiar with the old world because I was still pulling into the lab before I got younger.

It would be a lot easier to move if Tania, who knows more about today's society and labyrinth cities, would be on my side.

Dealing with the Branch Supervisor Risal might have gone a little easier if Turner had been on it.

The assassination measures would also be a lot easier to do with information from those who were on the side of the assassination.

But... the question is if I can trust you.

Seeing you think of it as something like that, apparently, Turner thought he wasn't responding well - he was in the next hand.

"And me...... aren't you so cute? I'll do anything, won't I?

Turner asks me in a bruised pose.

Yeah. Sure, look objectively, Tania's cute.

But I don't have a hobby for nearly a hundred years younger...

Leaving that aside, the information Turner has is fascinating.

If you were originally in the Dark Alliance, it might also help me gather the information I want.

And in this situation, I have no disadvantage in having turned Turner into a traitor.

Turner doesn't seem to be here, but I'm a life-targeting person.

The question is… does it end in terms of whether Turner can be trusted?

"Before I put it together, I want to hear one thing.... Who is behind this assassination?

"By mastermind... do you mean where the assassination order came from?

"Oh. Depends on that answer -"

"That's it."

My words were blocked by voices flying from the shadows.

A man lurking nearby finally showed up.

The man who came out, he was in some strange shape.

With medication - it's also unnatural like being forced to fortify with less quality medication.

They also use some kind of medicine in their eyes, leaving their pupils open.
