To Be a Power in the Shadows!

After dinner we walk through the King's Capital at night.

They told me I didn't want it if I tried to give them money when I was accounting. I know it's a gamma service, but it could be that way because my sister won the Martial Arts Festival. I get a little lost in judgment.

"You're past the dorm curfew."

"I've decided to attend the party, and I have permission."

"Exactly."

The road at night was strangely quiet. Looking up into the sky, the three moons are shining. The moon somehow felt more red than usual.

"What's going on?

My sister asks me looking up at the moon. [M]

"I felt the moon was more red than usual."

"Really? It always looks the same."

"Maybe. If you think about it, the color of the moon is red or blue, and it's not a big problem."

But red is cooler, I thought.

"You were on your way to talking about The Blood Queen."

"Right."

"I'm sure you know that 'The Blood Queen' 's men have been out of lawless cities these days to make a case."

Of course I don't.

"The surrounding countries have asked the Demon Swordsman's Guild to crusade for the Queen of Blood."

"Hmm."

"A crusade team is formed that brings together leading demon swordsmen. There are so many of us who are strong, there's no way we're going to get along as a team."

"Ugh."

"That's why I can take you with me. You don't have to worry. You just have to watch where it's safe. I'll do the rest. It's okay. If you follow me, it'll be your problem."

"I see."

"It's as easy as screwing into the Knights if you put a handle on it here. I got close to the Kingsguard Knights captain at the previous party, so I can tell you a story if you want."

"Hmm."

"The crusade should be on fall break. The quick guys will be out first, but there's no rush..."

That's when the wind brought in the smell of blood.

Late my sister notices too.

"The smell of blood. That's close..."

Sister stops and stares in the dark alley.

"Follow me behind you."

"Okay."

Put your hands on the hips sword. Sister enters the alley.

Keep your distance and I'll go on.

Going down the dark back alley, the black shadow was nodding.

Cuckoos, cuckoos, and chewing sounds.

"Huh...!

Killed a stunned scream, my sister pulled out her sword.

You noticed the signs. The black shadow looks back.

It was a bloody person.

No, you're not.

Sole's eyes are red as blood, and his sloppy open mouth has sharp fangs.

Red saliva fell into cobblestone.

At the foot of the sole, the human remains of the scattered food were rolling.

"Drop your weapon and don't surrender... ugh!

"Ahhhh!"

Sole peeled off his fangs and jumped at his sister.

A move close to the beast, not a person.

My sister's sword shined in the moonlight - and Sole's torso was broken.

"I gave you my advice..."

Sister tells the mutilated meat chunk.

But.

"Still alive......!?

Sole was crawling on the ground with only his upper body. Reach out and grab your sister's leg.

"Ahhh......"

"Perseverance!

My sister's sword severed Sole's neck.

Sole's head rolls the cobblestone, rattles his teeth, bites the bees, bees, and air.

Red eyes stare weakly at her sister, silent after a while.

A thick blood odor spreads across the alley.

"Is this Ghoul... of" The Blood Queen "...?

I looked down at the beautifully three-equal body. The shape is human but the skin is blue and white with no blood. His eyes, red and fangs are sharp.

The beast moved and the vitality seemed strong.

But there would have been no reason left.

"Was Ghoul a vampire?"

My sister didn't respond with her face down.

"Sister...?

"Ghoul was also a human being..."

"Maybe."

"I've been scared lately. I was wondering if I'd be like this one day. To a disingenuous monster..."

It is a weak voice at all times.

"I hear Princess Rose was possessed by the devil... just a rumor. But... I didn't tell anyone, but I... maybe I'm the devil possessed..."

The sister, looking back, smiled a little sadly.

"Once upon a time, I had a black mole on my back, and it spread more and more before I was afraid to tell anyone. But one day it suddenly got better at the border, and the black mole disappeared like a lie. Good, I'm relieved it's healed. But I've been digging into the details lately, and I hear there's no cure for the devil possessed. If that black mole was possessed by the devil, I would sooner or later..."

"I shouldn't worry too much about that..."

You've been treated, haven't you?

"You're an idiot, I'm kidding. I'm not supposed to be the devil possessed."

My sister laughed and looked up at the night sky.

"But... because it's not always possible for me to be attached... So when the fall break is free."

Copy that.

"This story is over. Let's go get the Knights."

My sister walked out to escape.

Looking up at the night sky, the moon was still a little red today.
