69. Inspection and Operations

The next day - we had decided to go the route as planned.

There was also the option of suspending the inspection itself over and above the raids that took place yesterday.

Instead, it should be. But Aena's aim is only to lure out the Shadow Apostle.

Me and Iris have to make contact first in order to bring Aria back.

There is also the offer of Aena, who thus travels around the King's City by carriage.

There were other visiting teams dispatched by the Imperial side, but none of them were said to have happened in such a way that they would be raided.

"Are they after a crowded place?"

In the moving carriage, Aena says.

The assassins came out of the crowd.

You want to be made aware of the fact that it is clearly 'Aena Boodle murdered' that raids are carried out in many places, not in the absence of people.

If a man in an imperial military uniform was murdered in front of a large crowd, that's why it leads to proof.

"We are going to ask the knights of the escort to devote all their efforts to ensuring the safety of their surroundings. Yesterday, the interrogation of the captured assassin seems to have begun."

"There won't be much to gain. Probably just hired people. My destiny is only Kufilio Notoria."

"Nortoria......"

Iris reacts to Aena's words.

Aria Nortoria - That's her name. … The members of The Shadow Apostle are composed of those who call themselves Noria. Aria had named it without covering it up, perhaps because she herself did not understand until about the surname.

It's something unknown in the kingdom - in fact, Aria has been able to live without problems since she met Illis.

(Though the captain will move in with the captain)

Today, perhaps, Remill will come to hear the story.

I had asked her to search for Aria more than I did before.

As a result, I must also tell you the fact that Aria is on the enemy's side. Most importantly, that would be where you should be concerned.

"... there's plenty of chance they'll raid us yesterday today."

"You're right. Especially since they seem to be trying to keep track of this trend. Merchet and Iris - they've been targeting each other since they left. Besides, the other side seems to have something to do with Illis."

"Yeah, right."

I don't know when The Shadow Apostle is going to raid, but given yesterday's conditions, it narrows me down.

If there's no one around Aena in the crowd.

Perhaps if Iris leaves, Aria will come into contact.

There was also the option of deliberately creating a situation to lure you at some point in time.

"Probably, but I don't think they're raiding today"

"Well, why?

"Some of the other people's actions are bold, because it's only a tread move when you can retreat. If you look at us doing what we normally do, you'll definitely step on it as a trap."

If you know the timing of the setup over there somewhat, it's as easy as ambushing them.

Despite the raids, I will continue my inspections without changing the route in particular - I would consider it a trap for sure.

Besides, you won't be doing any tricks that will fail again and again.

They're definitely after Aena's life next time...... if you think about it, at least as far as today's route goes, you didn't seem to have to worry about attacking her.

"Of course, there's only no place for guessing."

"No, I would certainly be on guard. They're cautious... they don't start by figuring out that they're going to fail. If I had to, I would have been."

I mean, Aena already plays the role of a pimp herself.

If Ayna continues to act alone, the enemy will undoubtedly set up with Ayna.... I can't even make that situation.

"It is possible that the enemy will come into contact even if Master Ayna does not -"

"Me, right?"

It was Illis who responded to my words.

The word "don't get involved" that Aria uttered to Iris. Still, if we could confirm where Iris was acting with Ayna, it would have been possible for Aria to come into contact again.

"Yes, look at the desk. I'm thinking of asking Mr. Iris to act alone."

"! Are you okay? If Illis acted alone, he could be targeted."

"I'm used to being targeted. It's okay."

"Huh, you're used to it, huh? You're very reliable."

Aena laughs happily when she hears Ilis reply.

Look at the machine. Iris acts alone - that's the only way he can make contact with Aria right now.

All we have to do is continue our inspections as naturally as possible and create a situation where Illis will be alone.

"So for starters, do as you plan. Let's start today's inspection."

Everyone there snorts at my words.

This is how the second day of inspection began.
