Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

Illis was chasing Aria, one person.

Alta was moving me to get ahead and catch the thief, but apparently he prioritized helping people along the way.

Seeing Alta pull out to the side, Iris continued straight to Aria.

He was quite far away, but Illis rushes to slip through even in the crowd in Illis.

Unlike Alta and Aria, it just doesn't go smoothly though.

When we finally reached the one in the alley, there was a stand-up aria hindsight there.

"... aria?

……

Calling, but Aria doesn't show a response.

It feels strange, and as he approaches, Illis speaks up again.

"Aria!

"Eh, Illis."

Vikri, and Aria looks back, shaking her body.

The expression is as pleasant as usual, and there's nothing particularly odd about it.

Aria put her neck around it,

"What's going on?

"What's the matter? It's not. Because I don't respond to calls."

"Sorry. I was just thinking"

"Thinking is unusual. More than that, what about the thief you were chasing? No way, you got away with it?

"Yeah. I caught him and handed him over to the knight."

"What, in this short time? What about luggage?"

"Returned."

"I said I gave it back... because earlier people were over there -"

"My magic can do it."

That is what Aria answers so as to block the words of Illis.

Aria's Magic - Magic that allows you to throw weapons and more through Shadows.

Sure, you can use that to deliver your baggage to someone away from you as well.

But could you have given it to someone that far away?

In the first place, there should have been conditions for activation as well.

"Aria...... anything wrong?

"Nothing. Why?"

"No, the... I feel different"

"That's not true. As I always am."

In fact, Aria's atmosphere remains the same as usual.

Am I mistaken, yes. When Illis thinks about it, Alta came from behind too.

"Sorry, I'm a little late. That thief..."

"I'm done. Thank you just now, Doctor."

"No, because I thought Mr. Aria would be able to catch up. But it's a long time ago. I also felt like there were no knights around here..."

To Alta's words, Iris' discomfort becomes stronger.

"So I just took him. You're working fast."

"For once, I'll check later - but before I do, Mr. Aria. Can I help you?

"! Why?

"No, because I felt a little different than usual"

Alta seems to have the same doubts as Illis.

Still, Aria won't change her attitude,

"Nothing...... I'm just a little tired. I'm leaving today."

"Huh... so suddenly"

"Iris, have fun on your date with the teacher"

"Huh! Here -"

Smiling creepily, Aria rushes off the spot with a puff.

I tried to hold him back, but Aria's movements became more quickly and quickly invisible to the back than usual.

At first glance, it just looks like the usual aria.

……

"What's wrong?

"Oh, no... what can I say? I can't say it well in words, but something is wrong with Aria, or..."

"Sure, I'm curious, too."

"Do you think it's strange, too, Doctor?

"Well, my discomfort is more about thieves. No matter how fast the knight at work is, he'll be gone from the spot without asking about the circumstances from the person who caught him - he won't do that. It didn't take long for me and Mr. Iris to get away with it."

"So Aria missed the thief, or something?

"Because that's what you'll have to explain to the person who stole the case... but Mr. Aria, you won't lie like you'll find out later"

"Yes, right? And it didn't feel like I could get away from Aria."

That's why I guess that's why Alta left it to Aria to go after the thief, too.

While we questioned each other, we couldn't reach an answer when we were both talking.

"... Anyway, listen to me if you need anything about Aria. I'll ask if I have the time, too. I'll check with the Knights."

"Thank you. By the way, who just helped?

"Ha ha, 'I didn't need help or anything' made me a little angry"

Alta says that with a bitter laugh.

It was a response that gave an atmosphere like a samurai somewhere.

"I can't believe you got help and answered like that..."

"You look like someone."

…… Do you have any idea?

"It's already amazing. Mr. Iris is a very familiar man."

"Oh, who is it!?

Iris asks, "Come on, who is it?" Alta only answers to make fun of me.

"Isn't it nice that you told me!

"Think of this as one of your trainings. It's also training to notice."

"Something to realize... Doctor, you just want to make fun of me"

"Haha, that's not true -"

I smile and answer Alta with a smile, Illis with a feeling somewhere out of the ordinary.

It is a much earlier story to realize that the person of Alta's words is Iris himself.
