- I still remember that it was a rainy day.

Where you don't know, who you don't know. It's not like anyone will speak up.

The girl had no purpose.

It's just because I've lived as I'm told.

……

Sitting on the ground, looking up at the sky. Counting the falling rain grains - it's like a pointless act.

That's when the pastry and footsteps rang right around the corner.

The girl shifts her gaze.

Standing there was a blonde long-haired woman and a girl who looked just like that woman.

"What's going on here? Are you okay?"

……

A woman rang out worried, but the girl wouldn't answer.

That's when the blonde-haired girl rushes over.

I don't care if I get wet, the blonde-haired girl gives me an umbrella,

"I'm Illis. And you?"

I smiled graciously and asked.

That's a lot like the smile I once saw, and the girl accidentally opens her mouth.

"… I, Noria"

Girl - Noria answers.

That was the meeting between a girl who still didn't have the name Aria and Illis.

Aria stands to cross the knife. The Swordsmen, enemies targeting Illis, are enemies to Aria as well.

Adil laughs when she sees Aria like that.

"Huh," Assassin "? I didn't expect you to say that word to us."

"If I kill you, that's it, right?

"Well, what do you think? Besides us, whoever is after Princess Kensei..."

"I'm not here. Just you guys."

Aria blocks Fitz's words.

We've already got perimeter confirmation - only two of us here are after Illis.

"I see. Excellent enemy capability - you're exactly the assassin."

"If you are impressed?

Two people who say they've been noticed, but don't look in a hurry.

At least, Aria's attack was prevented with the signs completely erased.

I can tell that Adil and Fiss are close to Alta in strength.

(… but it doesn't matter)

Look at the two of you.

I don't care about Adil.

It was Fitz who prevented Aria from attacking.

What Phis has in his hand is a sword. There are sheaths and patterns, but the sword I pulled out earlier had no body.

Aria also hears about who it is. The question is - if you can see it.

"You have no choice. Killing you is not beneficial... but it is harmful to leave it behind. Therefore, let them die."

Fiss pulled out his sword.

Aria opens her eyes. To see the yarn stretching to run around.

Reflecting on the sunlight, a slight glow enters Aria's eyes.

Fate is not that - Aria jumps off the spot and takes a distance.

Fiss gives a slightly surprised look.

You must be surprised that Aria dodged it.

filamentous sashimi - a field that needs to be sensed rather than just seen, but is good for Aria.

Part of the roof where Aria stood until earlier suddenly collapses away. The filamentous blade must have chopped it up.

Aria doesn't stop moving. The yarn moves like a chase. I just threw a short knife, and it's visible to be prevented.

(Then…)

Hidden in the shadow of the building, Aria threw a short knife at her feet.

What showed up there was a black hole. When the knife goes inside, now a hole appears at the foot of the fic.

"Huh!"

At the next moment, Aria gives a look of surprise.

Fiss stepped back, as if he knew the attack from the blind spot.

The two shortcuts pass in front of the fic. A black hole reappears in the air, Aria recovers the knife and distance it.

(It reacts quickly. It's as if we're looking at it in the future -)

"I won't let you get away with it."

It doesn't even give me time to think.

Again against Aria, the thread looms from all sides.

I'll kick right through the ground - but

"Run away. I'm not gonna take the time out here."

……

Before he rushes out, Adil stands up.

The reaction was delayed by concentrating on avoiding Fiss attacks.

(inevitable, inevitable -)

Aria sets up a short-knife in an attempt to prevent the sword from being swung down. If you can't prevent it, you will die for sure.

But Aria's knife is not suitable for protection.

Cut it off, or take it off with a strawberry or a bee or two short knives. Either way, the options were limited.

"It's over -!"

Moments, a thunderbolt runs between them.

Adil reacted immediately and dropped back.

Aria quickly understood whose magic belonged. Standing down in front of Aria was the blonde hair girl.

Aria was trying to protect it - it was Iris himself.

"Iris -"

"How can you imitate such danger!

When you call your name, Illis blocks it and makes your voice absurd.

Vikri and Aria's body tremble. Because I found myself angry with the voice of Illis.

But as soon as Illis exhaled loudly,

"... I'm sorry. Because I got involved."

"... no. I want to protect Illis."

"I know. How Aria feels... so I didn't want her to be forced. But it's okay now."

I am not lost in the look on the face of Illis. Ever since this morning, Aria had felt it.

The subtle changes I can tell because we're always together - apparently, I talked to Alta and got back on track.

I can see Alta coming from the rear as well.

I thought I could fight alone. However, Aria realizes that she is somewhere relieved.

"- Fitz, I left Alta Schweitz's opponent to you. I'll kill these guys."

"I understand. Good luck."

"Don't pray, I don't need it"

Each of the two swordsmen moves.

Fiss heads toward Alta, and Adil stands in front of Iris and Aria.

Illis controls it against Aria, who sets up a short-knife.

"Aria, back off once with the teacher -"

"Long time no see, Iris Reinfel"

"... Huh?

Listen to Adil, and Ilis stops moving.

He didn't seem to immediately understand what he was talking about.

Even Aria doesn't know the true meaning of the word. In words alone, it was the way it used to be.

With his gaze toward Adil, Iris opens his mouth as he eventually realizes something.

"The voice, is..."

"Illis......? What's the matter with you?

To Aria's inquiry, Illis does not answer.

"If you have become so called the Princess of Kensei, could you have surpassed my father?

Adil laughs at it.

Aria also figured out that the look on Iris's face - changed into something full of anger.
