The man in white - Kufilio was alone, walking in the shaky underground.

Looking back slightly and sighing slightly.

"Oh man, have you lost... I am"

Another self - with the same memory, of being divided into flesh and brain, Kufilio's flesh was defeated. Kufilio lost the assassination technique he had developed for a long time.

Again Kufilio starts walking forward. I've lost half my body, but I haven't had a problem yet.

I live in charge of my brains - I also have memories about assassination techniques. In the same way. Also, you can create 'Cufilio Notoria'.

The Shadow Apostle has been formed by one more man than the former, forming the shape of an organization.

If only I lived, I'd do it over and over again.

"But there was a thrill inside this time. Next time, make a cuffilio that no one can beat -"

So, Kufilio stops at the pitch. He had a surprise look on his face, as he noticed something.

"Well...... yes, I haven't thrown it away yet either. I didn't know you could come here and have a new goal! Ruling one country… sounds more interesting than that goal"

For Kufilio, it was like a game.

Life is short - the experience you get while you're alive, and so on. But what if you can increase your life expectancy?

Or what if you could live a longer life by changing your flesh?

Starting with such research, I've lived hundreds of years if I realized it.

The longer I lived, the more radical the way I enjoyed it for Kufilio.

Aena Bodle, daughter of the Imperial Marshal - If she were to have been killed within the kingdom, the conservative, Lugar Bodle, would also be transformed into an extremist.

In that case, the forces of the cooperating extremists of Cufilio will be unshakable.

In that war, Kufilio wields his own technology to the fullest. Even if you lose, that doesn't matter. Because I could definitely drag Lugar down at the top of the list.

It was miscalculation that the movement was understood within the kingdom. That is, Ayna, Lugar's daughter, noticed.

His daughter, who had only lived for more than a decade, read Kufilio's thoughts and lured herself out.

If you think so, Kufilio's mouth naturally loosens.

"That's a total nuisance. But this too..."

"Funny, huh? I don't think it's funny."

"! Oh, I didn't expect to meet you here"

It was precisely the girl - Aena - who lured Kufilio out and cornered him so far who blocked Kufilio's words.

Even the enclosed underground tunnels have limited paths leading to the 'outside' of the kingdom. They read Kufilio's escape route and got ahead of Aena.

Dressed in an imperial military uniform, she sends a cold gaze, neither in front of Cufilio nor in a state of battle.

"Are you Cufilio Notoria? You're a tough guy."

"Ha ha, if you can, you've lost it. Well, the fact that you're here... is that you've come to capture me?

"Capture...? Indeed, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to ask you about your collaborators in order to put out the empire's 'pus'. Well, I guess it's just the hub of the big radicals."

"I don't know...... but it's convenient that you came here. I still have my luck."

That's what Cuffilio says, take the stand. It's the "Magic Formation" that comes up on your right and left hand - not for combat, but Kufilio himself knows how to fight about magic.

"It's this narrow road... there's only going to be a way out of it if I go over you. But... if I can get you out of here by killing you, that's all I have to say."

"Well, you just toured back there, you think you can beat me?

"If I don't try, I don't know... at least I 'm-- huh?"

Kufilio suddenly vomits blood with the pain he runs on his back. I looked back slowly as I wiped the blood flowing out of my mouth.

Standing there is one girl. I also know Cufilio - it's Merche Altina, the side of Aena. A maid of the Bodle family, but also a girl working as a soldier...... such a Merche approached behind Kufilio without a sign and took a blow.

"What... What about you? An outsider like you...?

"Are you an 'outsider'? You're a terrible person everywhere, aren't you? Well, your face, your voice... it's unusual, so you can't help but notice."

"Face, voice...? You..."

With a hazy look, Kufilio sees Merche's face. Her expression - it's the same as what Kufilio once saw.

She was one of those who raised herself and taught her assassination techniques, and the girl who betrayed herself and let Aria escape.

"Unfortunately, I'm not the one to put the hammer down on you. This is her revenge."

The last thing I heard was Aena's voice like that.

Kufilio finally understands everything. It wasn't all that stopped by Ayna's maneuver to this point - it was a completely different being that caused it.

Yet another blow to the neck… a blow is unleashed to ensure Kufilio is finished.

With the bleeding, Kufilio falls down on the spot without hesitation. The end of a man who lived hundreds of years was a very quiet one.

***

Merche exhaled heavily, trying to look down at the fallen down cuffilio.

"Phew..."

"I just wanted to say that this is all over...... but now you have more work to do looking for those involved in Kufilio"

"... I'm sorry. It would have been the right thing to do."

"No, this will do. He's a man who's lived a long time...... it's quicker to finish him off than to let him live poorly. For once, some of the people involved are alive."

"Thank you. So, do you want to go get the knight of the kingdom?

"You won't even have to do that. One of you will be here soon."

That's what Aena says, look at the road Kufilio's headed for. Earlier loud grunts were what Alta Schweitz beat the other Kufilio. Yes, Aena seemed to be judging.

"When Aena is so trusted, it still changes when she likes a man."

"What, the way you put it. But... I don't deny it. So I'm a maiden too..."

"... Phew"

"Don't laugh, you're gonna get mad"

"Also, I'm sorry. But thanks to you, I'm done with what needs to be done for me. I'll leave you to Dear Ayna."

"Oh...... I'll leave it to you about the future. But you still have what you need to do, don't you?

To Aena's words, Merche snorts too.

The Shadow Apostle is dismantled for losing Kufilio... but Merche, as one of those involved again, was left to do.
